I've been bored lately. Like, mega-bored and it's a relatively new feeling for me. And I just realized why I've been so bored.
Part of it's the internet's fault. Because I've been finishing manga series that I've been reading for a few years through scanlations, that until recently, I couldn't because I had to wait for the book releases. And I've also been turning to just starting and reading whole series solely through scanlations. Like Deathnote. I read that whole series in about 4 days a few weeks ago. All scanlations.
And Hana Yori Dango, which I started about a year ago and did a marathon read of volumes 1-23 in one night. Well, I just finished that series last night. And, this wasn't through scanlations, I finished Kamikaze Kaitou Jeanne earlier this summer too.
And Fruits Basket. That was one of the first series that I started to read and I was good, reading up to the 15th volume in book format. But once I finished book 15, I turned to scanlations and finished the series. And a big part of my anime/manga life seemed to end with that series being over.
But anyways, back to why I've been so bored/restless lately.
Normally, I get hit by obsessions when it comes to fandoms. Like, I started out in the Inu Yasha fandom and that was a major part of my jr. high life. Then I moved into the DBZ fandom during that time. And from there, Fruits Basket, which will always be a favorite of mine. I've dabbled bits and pieces here and there in FFVIII, FFX, and FFX-2.
And then came Gundam Wing. Which throughly wrapped me up for over a year. And I still hold the most fics for the Wu/Mei pairing as well as the longest story in both chapter count and word count.
After a while, though, it lost my interest and I soon discovered Tenipuri. Which has kept me pretty well occupied for the last year and a half.
But through all of this fandomness, I've usually kept up a pretty steady rate of either a series or several fics a year. And since I've gotten involved with Tenipuri, I've written just a few fics and only one mini-series. The last thing I wrote was Dreams, the fic for
kimby77 so many months ago. But that's been okay that I've written just a little because I've been involved with other things, like RPGs.
But I don't have any projects right now. Other than Subrosa and I have no ideas on what I'm going to do for that. But I've got no AMVs, no fics, no sites, no anything.
And I need something to do. Badly. Because it's seriously driving me batty not having anything to do.
