Day 28: Your to-do list
Well, my to-do list is pretty short since I finished most of the things I needed to do this week. So the next few days, I need to grade 5 midterms a day, I need to make soup for Tanya tomorrow, and cook for me and Bear on Saturday and call the dentist to set up an appointment to replace a crown. And catch up on RS Games stories.

28 – Have you ever collaborated with anyone else, whether writing together, or having an artist work on a piece about your fic?
I was supposed to collaborate with an artist on the History Big Bang I did a few years ago. But the artist never submitted the work based on my story - so I guess that didn't work out. Other than that I never really collaborated with others.
Supernatural S11E2 I really liked the episode overall and I'm curious to see where this season will go. It is fun to watch completely unspoiled. Two moments really stood out to me. The scene with Billie the reaper was amazing, I was on the edge of my seat - she is wonderful. And I laughed at "Death thought it was funny" that Winchesters keep coming back from death line. I hope we see more of her. Another stood out moment for me was Sam praying in the chapel and his vision - most likely of the Cage. Looking forward to that development. Baby Darkness was pretty creepy, especially when we find out what she likes to eat (I can't watch baby scenes it TV shows anymore without nitpicking. Like I was waiting the baby to cry a lot when being hungry in the previous episode while they were all at the hospital for so long). I do hope they give Cas an actual storyline this season.
On the train home today I was reading Alison Bechdel's "Fun Home." It's really, really good. I can certainly see why it's so acclaimed. I like the discussion of different authors and philosophers in between the ordinary too. Chapter 2 made me contemplate the nature of grief and upset and how I reacted when my grandmother died or when my Dad got diagnosed with thyroid cancer 5 years ago (he is great now. Great 5 year check up a few weeks ago. Yay!). I don't cry at stressful moments, my head gets super logical and I go into problem solving mode with lots of research. But I do remember that when my grandmother died, that whole first day was surreal in the way I perceived time and just sensitivity to the environment and the different way my brain seemed to work.
RS Games rec. I read this story today called fell in love once and almost completely and it was absolutely brilliant. This is the summary: "When Remus is four, his father kills a werewolf in front of him. Eleven years later, he meets an unfamiliar boy with a scarred face and a secret." This is the story of what happens if Remus wasn't a werewolf but Sirius was. All the characters - Remus, James, Peter, Snape, Sirius - are perfectly themselves but different due to circumstance. It is such an original and fresh take on the Marauder's story. And a lovely romance too. I highly recommend it.
