Yes, I'm still here ... after my absolutely inexcusable absence of almost three months (not here on my livejournal, because I hardly ever use it anyway, but on fanfiction.net). I had two months of (very relaxing) holidays, and not only did I not do ANYTHING for university, I also didn't write. How pathetic is that? But somehow I had a big writer's block and no motivation. I started writing a Gromph/Zaknafein one-shot in July and didn't finish it. However, I'm determined to finish it finally in the next days, and hopefully get it posted quite soon. My classes started again three weeks ago, I'm already completely stressed out, drowning in exams and books I have to read ... and so I start writing again. It doesn't make sense, I know, but strangely enough I write more when I actually have no time to write. So, with a bit of luck, the Gromph/Zak thingy should be posted soon.

Mhm, I'm not going to bore you with what I did during the holidays (except that Vienna is magnificent! go there! it's so beautiful!) or with anything about my classes (except that my English teacher is amazing, and I fangirl him like hell ;)). More interesting might be the fact that I, erm, rediscovered Terry Pratchett. I first read Pratchett many years ago, when I was eleven years old or something (in German, because my English was crappy back then). So, our dear assassin_nariel gave me Monstrous Regiment a couple of weeks ago and told me to read it ... and I was a good girl and had nothing to do at that time, so I read it. Read, squeed and wondered why I ever stopped reading Pratchett. The man is a genius, and of course the original version is a thousand times better than the translation (although the German translation of Pratchett isn't that bad). So, I jumped on Going Postal and Making Money after that (so, some of the newer novels I hadn't read yet), and they might just be two of Pratchett's most amazing novels. That's where I discovered my love for Lord Vetinari. ^^ Gotta admire the man. I'm currently reading (respectively rereading) the Watch novels because Vetinari mainly appears in those. You may look forward to some Discworld slash which I will write and post ... I don't know when, but I will. ^^ *drools over Vetinari/Vimes and Vetinari/Drumknott* Just wanted to warn you. And, if you've never read any Pratchett, DO IT! I'd recommend Going Postal, and then Making Money.

And now I'm going to answer a few e-mails that are already several weeks old ... not to mention the reviews I've promised to write. I really should force myself to write reviews as soon as I read a story and answer e-mails immediately, otherwise I'll just put it off for weeks. Damn university for eating my time.
