clo_againAAAHHHHH.
There is nothing in the world quite so irritating as reading the first two -- *fantastic* -- parts of a fic only to find the final one hasn't been written and probably never will be considering it hasn't been updated since January and the fic's not really of a length to justify taking months in between parts.* Dammit. Now I have to go back out of guilt and put WiP on everything I haven't finished so people know not to read.
Oh well. I really should be working anyway. Especially since I got an email back from the English supervisor-person today that said basically it's okay that I want to do my dissertation as long as in the proposal everyone has to write in a couple of weeks I can prove that I especially deserve to be allowed to do it. Which means I'll need to do some research and outlining and thinking of a more clearly defined angle. Oh, and it'd help if "I could somehow link it to the creative writing side of my degree", which um. Would kind of make my degree 3/4s creative writing, in a way, and I'm a *combined major*, I'd like to at least do a little English! Also I do have something like four pieces of coursework and an exam to do in the next few weeks but *no*, we have to plan our dissertations for *next year* in the middle of them. Right. Fine. A gold star for the English staff in the common sense department once again.
I like university. Really I do. Just not so much right now.
* Smart comments from anyone at this point will get them hit. Understood?
edit: The flip side is of course finding an old fic you read and loved and forgot all about so re-reading it is like reading it over again, shiny and new. Especially when it's fluff and it makes it impossible to be cranky anymore. The Best Sort of Blame by![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
casirafics. Ten/Rose with an overload of fluff and perfect Ten characterisation. I should not like Ten/Rose fluff this much because it's *FLUFF* and usually I drown in the fuzzy boredom after the first twenty or so but maybe it's knowing it won't -- and shouldn't, not like in fic anyway -- happen on the show. It's just... nice.
This time I'm really going to do some work.
edit: *blinks* Huh. Weird deja-vu.
Um. I'm working. Really.
