PS in case I have unfriended you recently, it is because I'm slowly in the process of unfriending everyone on LJ if we're already mutually subscribed/accessible on Dreamwidth as part of my very slow migration process ...

I don't actually think the new terms of service are necessarily concerning (the fact that the Russian language TOS controls is not a problem in and of itself; in any legal document, one language has to control; I'd have to look at the actual Russian laws cited to form a real opinion though and I'm too lazy to do so) but everyone seems to be jumping ship so I guess this means I have to dust off my Dreamwidth account. I've been doing baby steps - today, I finished adding everyone on Dreamwidth who (1) is a mutual friend here and (2) has a username on Dreamwidth that is identical to Livejournal. If you have a different name on Dreamwidth and I haven't added you, let me know! I guess next steps will be adding everyone else I want to follow, importing my journal and then figuring out crossposting at some point ...
TL;DR: If I haven't added you on Dreamwidth yet, let me know your username in the comments!

I'm already halfway through the third book but here's my post on Moon Over Soho
I will keep this short because most of my thoughts on reread are not particular insightful.

I'm still here + Thoughts on Rereading Rivers of London
I'm not dead! And I haven't left Livejournal yet, I'm still checking my flist religiously, I promise, even if I'm entirely lurking.
At some point, I'm probably going to need to log into my Dreamwidth account for the first time in ages and figure out who everyone is on Dreamwidth and how to add them since it seems like people who held out on LJ through everything else have been evacuating one by one. I'm a pro at procrastinating, though, so I'll do that later ...
So anyways, I've vaguely formed a New Year's Resolution (formed in February, so let's call it a CNY Resolution) that since I read an awful lot of books (I read over 400 last year!), I should really write up reviews of them, especially the ones I like, especially since a good 60-70% of my reading list comes from recommendations from others. (If you write up book recs on your LJ, I add them to my list of books to read!) (I especially keep on meaning to write up reviews for the books I read for the #WOCinRomanceBookClub since I SUPER SUPER LOVED some of them.) Unfortunately, I'm a pro at procrastinating, so this hasn't happened yet, but since I recently read The Hanging Tree and then read some snatches of meta on tumblr, I've started a reread of all the Rivers of London books and have ~thoughts~ and figured what better way to jumpstart my attempt to write more reviews (I think I'm going to try to write 12 reviews this year, averaging one a month) by doing a thoughtdump on my reread.

FIC: Assignation in the Arboretum
So I know I haven't posted in ages ...
While I am aware that I am far from an active poster in livejournal, I am still here! I have not abandoned LJ for tumblr, I promise! And I still check my flist everyday! And, apparently, sometimes I get enough inspiration to finish the fic snippets I started years and years ago. Even though law school sucked all my fic-writing inspiration out of me, I have finally regained enough to complete the below offering!
Fandom: Iron Man/Good Omens
Title: il n'y a de nouveau que ce qui est oublié
Characters/Rating: Pepper Potts, Adam Young, G
Summary: Before she was Pepper Potts, her name was Virginia. And before she was Virginia, she lived in Lower Tadfield.
Read it here. It's posted to AO3 and not duplicated below because it already took me way too long to do a half-assed job checking my formatting there; I didn't want to do it all over again. Thanks very much to
darklightluna for the beta!

Skip Beat Fic Craving
I have been catching up with Skip Beat ([Spoiler (click to open)]Heel fakecest sexytimes ahoy) and rereading old Skip Beat fanfic, and now I have a craving for Ren/Kyoko/Moko threesome and/or OT3 fic, but of course it would be Ren/Kyoko and Kyoko/Moko, so maybe it would be more of an OTV? Either way, I feel like Skip Beat fandom is probably too small for me to ever get this ... :(
