The scariest thing about the sudden revival of the DAYD community led very enthusiastically the author himself is that it feels like we're being built up and cheered up and super excited because holy shit there hasn't been this much DAYD activity since long before I even came into the fandom... And we're going to get utterly demolished and torn apart by whatever is coming up in A Peccatis when it gets updated, I just know it. I FEEL IT IN MY BONES.

Why do I do this to myself
So.. Still a lack of positivity in these tags so.. I'm going to be liveblogging my reread of the DAYDverse trilogy. For those of you who are not fans of the series and do not want to be spammed, click away now.
Also, mental breakdown is imminent. Just so we're all aware.
Trying to do the giveaway thing. Not sure if it's too late, but just in case it's not, here we are (AP). Background: new reader, in fact this is the first and nearly only thing in the verse I've read. Review: It was an engrossing read - actually, I got stuck in it and read it all in one night. I was worried after I read your writing on tone that I wouldn't like it because your tone would be too not-warm for me, but I turned out to be completely wrong about this. The strong interpersonal connections and support the characters had, as well as their determination to do the right thing, were exactly what I always want in stories. And the way that connections-and-support feeling was there even as the situation became the type where people have to not-deal-with-yet their pain and grieving because emergency situation is something I don't think I've really had elsewhere and both made it even stronger, and kind of became a the-world-can-be-good thing for me.
I'm very curious about the resolution of the whole thing. In the meanwhile, I'm glad that the thing with Hermione after Rita might become relevant, because that bit felt so weird disconnected-from-everything when I read it. Also I'm hoping that the bit where Hermione is being so awful to Ron about being a stay-at-home dad might come up (in a way that will show it to be something different), because it rather upset me. I'm a bit worried that this seems to be going manipulative-Dumbledore, which is not a trope I enjoy, but that's a personal preference. On the bright side, if it's doing that, it's doing it in an original and very interesting way, and also in a way that recognizes important things about raising children, so I like that.
The music thing with Alice was quite the combination of fascinating and heartwrenching. I really like how you have all these characters, each with their own priorities and motivations and lives, interacting with each other. I have a thought-list of authors who all have approaches to real-life-like characters that work both well and differently, and you are now on that list for me. I really loved the opening scene with the picnic at the graveyard. It's one of the best recognitions of how these things work - they're gone, forever, and that never ends, but also life goes on - that I've ever seen.
Also, on a completely separate note, I love the title.
AAAAAAAAAGH WERNICKE'S APHASIA THIS IS THE BEST THING I JUST.
SHE TALKED I CAN'T EVEN.
FUCKING BALLS.
Well, I've finished what there is of A Peccatis, and if that doesn't break your heart, I don't know what will.
Good heavens. I'm going to go read something else to take my mind off of how angry with Hermione I am.

i've been putting it off, but there's no getting around it.
I'm finishing what's there of A Peccatis today.
I'm worried because there's just enough time for things to get awful but not even kind of enough time for things to turn out ok because it's still a WIP.
May Andy have mercy on my soul.
I just want to take a moment to show you all a telling and insightful line from this fic I'm reading. Context: The world of Harry Potter roughly 10 years after book 7.
"Anthony put the paper down, the disturbing pictures [youths and Barak Obama at a rally before his first election] now hidden in favor of a much less worrisome picture of a pile of harmless junk and a smaller headline; Afghan IEDs Becoming More Inventive."
I am not one for writing meta, I just wanted to share how quickly and insightfully this line illustrates the huge culture gap between the wizarding and muggle world, even though they occupy very nearly the same spaces. I love it. I love it. (there's also SO MUCH MORE I'd like to say about interesting, clever ways Andy is pointing out the disparities between the worlds and how they might not be meant to be mutually exclusive and separate while still giving weight to the fears/assumptions that they should never, ever be brought together, but, like I said, I'm no writer of meta.)
Absolutely nothing...
So, today I have done absolutely nothing useful. I wanted to study and read some articles for my thesis. Or read Agatha Christie's And Then There Were None (also for my thesis). Instead I've read and started a review on A Peccatis, which was fun, but ate up my complete morning. Then I thought that after a shower I would get to work so that I could finish AP in the afternoon.
Instead I watched Sherlock.
Conclusion: procrastination-mode is full on and the 2nd semester hasn't even started yet. Now I'll go and do my laundry (and watch more Sherlock) so the day isn't completely wasted.
