RMSE and other fannish stuff

I’m so behind on everything fannish. Mostly because I have a lot of work at work, and in the evening I’m so tired that all I can do is re-watch one of my favorite dramas mindlessly. Last week it was SCI, this week it was History 3 Make Our Days Count. I didn’t have the energy to watch anything new. Two weeks ago I finally watched the 1st episode of My Country: The New Age and I loved it. It’s so beautiful visually and intense, and Woo Do Hwan is excellent. But I wasn’t able to watch more episodes until yesterday. Yesterday I watched episodes 2 and 3 and I think I might be a tiny bit obsessed now. :) I plan to watch two more episodes today. Maybe three. My thermometer (it’s attached to the window on the sunny side of my flat) showed 42 degrees of Celsius this morning, so going outside is out of the question.


RMSE works reveal was a week ago and in that time I only managed to read my gift. In my defense it’s long and I read it twice. Because it’s a wonderful and beautiful and perfect Chu Shuzhi/Guo Changcheng fic, which I love with all my heart, and which made me teary-eyed, and then made me laugh and sigh with pleasure over the happy ending.

Summary: Guo Changcheng stared at his phone, rubbing the back of his neck. Chu-ge was fine, surely. He'd been SID's only field agent since well before any such person as Guo Changcheng had ever been foisted upon him. He didn't need more worried little texts.

Okay, maybe one more. His thumbs flickered over the screen.

ur ok right

RMSE authors reveal was yesterday, so I can admit that I wrote Chu Shuzhi/Guo Changcheng fic, too. And thanks to that fic Chu Shuzhi/Guo Changcheng pairing with 7 works has the first place on my AO3 when it comes to number of the shippy fics I wrote. It’s nice. And my recip left me a sweet and enthusiastic comment, and that’s very nice, too. :)

Summary: Changcheng really didn’t want to go on another arranged date. He had to think up an excuse, and fast. He just never predicted that things would get so out of control. Now he has to deal with nosy coworkers, a perceptive aunt, and his own complicated feelings.
