Haha so guess how long it took me to realise 'Yonekuni' and 'Hidekuni' are alternate readings for 'Beikoku' and 'Eikoku', even while staring at the kanji all this time? :D;

...Dude, it doesn't even work.

(Edited to add: if you plug 英国 into Google the first hit you get is the University of Cambridge, but if you plug "England" the first hit is the CIA Factbook entry. Um.)

In other BL series I'm sort of following news: I'm waiting for

penis_envious submissions to be posted even though I know they're going to hurt me (the better the writer the greater potential for brain damage, methinks). ...Actually Charmian had encouraged me to sign up for it, that day I was complaining of the blehs.

Charmian: Well, I guess you could also take up Yasmin's challenge. XD Of course that would be work, but weren't you bemoaning the fact that your flist is too decorous?
Sabina: What, Chintsubu? XD
Charmian: Yep. Weren't you saying that everyone is just too tasteful so you lack inspiration to write non gen stuff?
Sabina: Oh, yes. XD
Sabina: But that's more like, I dunno, *other* people should take Yasmin up.
Charmian: True. It would require working.
Sabina: I can't imagine what I would write for Chintsubu.
Charmian: Mirage of Blaze? After all...
Sabina: I have a sinking feeling it would end up involving Mirage, yes.
Sabina: I was just about to say.
Sabina: But really, the Gravitation crossover is enough.
Charmian: Well, it's the obvious choice. There already is a lot of canon detail you can draw on. XD
Sabina: Ha. Ha.
Sabina: They have yet to have a McGuffin buried under a phallus shrine.
Sabina: Although I wouldn't discount the possibility.
Charmian: See, you've thought of a plotline already.

But instead I made

bb_shousetsu. Aren't we happy for that?

(Also for some reason I keep expecting people to write more Viewfinder fic. I dunno. It just feels like there should be tons of it lying around my flist, and I'm vaguely puzzled all the time to realise there isn't.)
