Wednesday Update
Jan. 8th, 2020 06:51 amI don't remember who hadn't seen the preliminary costume checks for Shen Wei/Hei Pao Shi (part of the Hei Pao Shi one is in ![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
bonibaru 's Leave the Light On vid) but sakana17 made a post with the earlier suit fittings and rejected glasses. Go for the awkwardness, stay for the glory of the wardrobe department's final decisions.
Voice dubbing in Chinese media fascinates me. I think my interest is a combination of thinking how at least Western actors would ruffle at this. Someone else speaking their lines? Wouldn't that sacrifice the integrity of their art??? (idk that all actors would feel this way, but you know a lot who would) and my own issues with the way my voice sounds. Do most voice actors dub the same actor in different roles? Or does the voice change from show to show (or ads)? Who (if anyone) did their own dubbing for Guardian?
My writing habits have gone to hell after finishing Ghost Story. I intentionally took some time off writing (off anything, really), and then the holidays plus visitors plus illness threw everything off for much longer than I'd planned. My energy is returning to pre-NYE illness levels finally (although I did collapse into a 2-hour nap yesterday before going to Tessa's book launch last night so maybe I should watch what I say) and I'm ready to slip into a better schedule (that much is definitely true).
I hope to integrate some other things into my schedule, too. Like relearning Spanish, again, finally. My Spanish used to be actually pretty good, it's just a matter of pulling all that back to usable memory. I want to get back to the gym, too, but that's not happening for a couple more weeks. At least I had the strength to do some mobility work a few times since I got back home, and that felt good.
Y'all will be happy to hear that I moved the first of Shen Wei's breakdowns in Deconstruction of Hei Pao Shi to waaaay earlier in the story and now it happens in chapter three instead of, like, chapter five or six. Whew! This is my first hurt/comfort fic to write and it's interesting to see how different (for this fic, anyway) the pacing demands are for it versus pining (because they're both happening at the same time--Shen Wei's going through A Lot in this fic you guys).
Lastly, that social media AU twitfic I posted about a while ago is complete (556 entries) and it was amazing. I could go on for paragraphs about how much I love everything about the style of storytelling, but I'm sure it's nothing that hasn't been said before. I'll just leave it at God Damn I Love Fandom and leave it at that. If you haven't started the story, let me warn for some people (Xiao Xingchen) making bad decisions about sex. It works in the story, but I wasn't expecting it amidst all the fluff so if you need a warning for that sort of thing, there you go. I LOVED THIS STORY and how much it couldn't have been told with the same efficacy in plain text. The author is planning to make a YouTuber AU next, they have other, similar AUs already written and yes, I am now a fan.
