Recent AO3 update: Interludes (One Piece), Diplomatic Relations (Naruto) and GW news

[maldoror_chant]

One Piece Interludes (One Piece, Genfic)
Includes Fish Stick Interlude, Interlude for Eight Straw Hats and One Giraffe, and Labyrinthine Interlude.


Diplomatic Relations (Naruto, Gaara/Lee)
The second big kahuna of fics!
Rock Lee, Diplomatic Envoy to Sunagakure. There are so many ways that could go wrong. But Lee is determined to succeed! And to befriend the feared Kazekage too, while he's at it. Good thing Lee loves a challenge...


In Gundam Wing news, The Arrangement is now fully archived on AO3 with a bonus chapter in celebration of its cleanup and posting. It's going to feel weird not posting a chapter of that every weekday now...

Source of All Things is still ongoing, and Freeport will start up tomorrow.

Yay! I look forward to Diplomatic Relations + Kindred because I've reread them over the years and remember how great they are, and I look forward to Freeport because I haven't reread it (not sure why, I regularly see it recced on ff_a) and remember almost nothing so it'll be exciting.

Happiness!!! The Source of all things was a hard one to read since it was a Trowa and Quatre but I loved it so much and I'm so happy to see it up!!! YAY!!

I just wanted to pop in here and take a moment to say how very, very glad I am that you're okay. I followed you on LJ back in the day, and "discovered" various fandoms through your writing as you progressed from GW through Naruto and One Piece and finally into the wonder of your original fiction. I've returned to your journal, despite having abandoned my own LJ (in favor of Dreamwidth) close to a decade ago, and re-read my way through your work about once every year or so. When you stopped posting, I hoped that, as sad as it might be to no longer be creating, you had just moved on from writing (or become too busy for it - spawnlets will do that, they take up a lot of time and energy). It's less likely now, in the days of really heavily interconnected social media platforms like FaceBook and Instagram and whatnot (where there's often someone who knows a person's real identity, and will spread the word when someone bad happens), but it wasn't all that long ago that when someone "disappeared" from the internet, it was often impossible to know if it was because they had just moved on with their life, or if it was due to something more serious, like illness or death. So I'm really, really happy that you're okay, that you and your family are doing well. I'm glad you're getting back into writing, too - I'm overjoyed at that, yeah, sure! - but it's secondary.

Now here's a familiar name and icon ^____^ Glad to hear from you too! I did sort of disappear off the map, since I'm a grade A procrastinator and always told myself I'd update my LJ 'eventually' if only to show signs of life. AO3's formatting and liveliness has given me a boost and now I'm back :D

From one procrastinator to another...I'm trying not to cringe as I think about how long it has been since I've updated my own journal.
