Free-For-All (Not) Friday
Oct. 11th, 2025 02:22 pmTime for free for all (not) Friday, a day for random chit-chat!
Do you want to talk about the other novels you are reading or find a read-along partner? Practice your Chinese? Request for fics? Ask for beta readers? Just talk about your day?
Go right ahead!
Note:
I am giving the Discussion Fridays a pause because I am running dry for topics of discussion. I will give it some thought so I can stockpile some topics for discussion and resume first week of December. Not having a Discussion Friday post have been making posting Friday posts kinda weirdly stressful and led to missing weeks.

Date: 2025-11-01 10:45 pm (UTC)I have an account so I copied your above comment & submitted it as an ask. I sent it off anon so they should tag me when the request gets posted, & I'll give you a heads up. Though I don't check tumblr much these days & have no idea if the site will deign to inform me I have a notification, so might be worth keeping an eye out

re: non-cnovel stuff, I just finished Nghi Vo's A Mouthful of Dust! It was really haunting (this one's very dark, but not unbearably so imho) and I liked seeing some callbacks to the first novella.

Date: 2025-10-13 03:31 pm (UTC)... ah at this point, I think it's safer to just consider the Monogatari licenses dead.
I really should pick up more Nghi Vo's stuff.
