So I woke up with the strangest desire to write a Code Geass fic. Since it's set post-series, I'll put the general fic idea beneath spoiler text:

So Suzaku and Nina are fighting terrorists with her sort of being the Q to his James Bond, only he's angsty and dorky, not suave, and also, she and Nunnaly are the only ones who's supposed to know he's alive. They're trying to preserve the peace and keep Nunnaly from being overthrown and also kinda doing penance because let's face it, they have a lot to make up for. Somewhere along the line Suzaku realizes that he needs the help from someone who's as good in a Knightmare as himself so he recruits Kallen, who isn't exactly surprised he's alive Spin!Zero!Zaku, but not all that happy about it, either.

I've never wanted to write in Code Geass fandom before, or read in it for that matter. It's just one of those shows I watched and was done with. I'm the same with Harry Potter. Read the books, don't need anything else.

This was the only thing I ever did for Princess Tutu. That show was just perfect the way it was, didn't need anything else.

I don't know what it is. If it was just the tightness of the plot, why aren't I all over Code Geass and Harry Potter? If it was about how many characters I love, why aren't I writing the heck out of Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha? (There's even a ten-year time gap there!)

Why is it that Gundam Wing remains the one show I've had, and have, lots of ideas for? (And I mean lots.) The only ones that've come close to rivaling GW for me are X-Men and Elfquest, and really, I didn't write that much for them.

Obviously, how much room I think there is for stories is part of the reason, as is how involved I got with the world and the characters. But it can't be all. Maybe it's just my quirks.

All right, everyone who's surprised that Dumbledore's gay raise their hands.

I thought not.

All right, my thoughts on yaoi: The only place it would have felt right to include it in the books was in book seven, and she all but said it there anyway. I suppose she could, technically, have been clearer. Something like "Oh Severus, still?" "Always. Have you got over Grindelwald yet, sir?" But that would have detracted from the emotional impact of Snape's love for Lily.

P.S. Puppyshippers? She didn't confirm Sirius and Remus because they weren't together. Really.

If Sirius was gay for anyone, it was James.

So, the term started again yesterday. This year I'll be taking a linguistics course which is required if I'm going to write my Masters thesis in linguistics, as well as a literature course - political/religious/gender issues during the 1550-1660's, and how they relate to today's situation. Fun!

Also, I had a thought about Harry Potter. Spoilers for Deathly Hallows beneath the cut.

Seems like my new years' resolution is shot to hell, eh?

I just wanted to make one small comment on Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows:

I enjoyed it. It was a page-turner.

Now I'll sit back and watch the Potterdammerüng.
