After six years and a scatter of months I'm back at writing the Decagram for real.
Business as Usual (BAU) has been gnawing on my imagination for a while, and finally scenes began to come into focus, including the issues that kept me from continuing on the (edited) draft I had on my harddrive for *gasp* years by now.
I'm sorry to say that the edit won't stand, mostly because too much of the original text didn't survive the introspection. It was too much of a draft with too little depth to fit the Decagram series (aside from the part with the Pine. The Pine stays. I wouldn't dare mess with The Pine! *eg*).
Anyways, I've been working on the file for the first installment, depicting a most unusual Golden Week vacation on Okinawa since yesterday afternoon. The usual update statistics wouldn't make much sense at the moment, but here's a small excerpt of the results:
Boarding was a crowded affair. All Nippon Airlines flight 124, starting at 13:40 from Tokyo Haneda airport to Naha, Okinawa, was fully booked, even in premium class. Seishiro had expected as much, given the amount of persuasion it had needed to acquire the tickets. What he hadn't expected was Subaru's insistence on going through the regular boarding procedure rather than waving Seishiro's NPSC badge and just passing through.
"You insisted that this was a vacation," Subaru had reminded him, putting his carry-on bag onto the luggage scale, waiting for the airline employee to attach the tag marking it as within the allow weight.
"I also plan to solve the expected issues with Kyushu office, so—" Seishiro shrugged, setting his bag down after Subaru's. The employee frowned at the displayed weight and Seishiro tapped the handle again, activating the fuda wrapped around it. The weight decreased. "A malfunction?" he asked the confused man and smiled when the tag was attached. "Now, where were we?"
"You, planning a work vacation," Subaru said dryly heading down the gangway towards the plane, ticket in hand, bag over his shoulder.
Please note, I'm currently writing without a beta-reader, since the Decagram's beta-reader is now involved in a much different fandom and the last edit was a hopeless mess on my side of things.
I hope I won't mess up too much.
Stay tuned!

Hope you're doing well!

Before that, I don't think I'd checked Dreamwidth in about 8 years...

Date: 2019-03-24 16:41 (UTC)From:Would you mind if I bounce plot-ideas off of you (if they occur, of course), or do you prefer to save your experience / judgement for the (hopefully) complete chapters, so that you may edit them without bias?
Care to tell me about your new fandom?
I'm curious - I've been out of touch for so long.

Date: 2019-03-24 17:04 (UTC)From:Bouncing is fine if me being spoiled isn't an issue.
My new fandom is cdrama called Guardian and I recommend it highly! Sylvia got me into it and I got 4-6 (depending how you count) other people into it and my life is currently a life of squee.
I did my own little intro, but it's not actually all that good.
If you decide to check it out, it's best if you dl all the vids because then I can send you my vastly improved subtitles for the first 30 episodes - working on the rest.

Re: fic: bouncing it is - once I have sorted sufficiently through the old muck. So far, only the intro with the requests for leave & the flight are revamped.

Also if you decide you like it and fancy team watching, I'm always up for that.

Date: 2019-03-24 18:31 (UTC)From:Mom (75) and grandma (102) are both alive, but both require "care" of which I am supposed to provide some (care service does the rest luckily), that's what's eating most of my free time.
I've posted about grandma's accident two years ago on Facebook and things are finally getting back to normal now - as normal as living with two care cases can be, that is. My plants and some decorating projects are what kept me going most of the time, because writing required more "time with a wake brain" than I had back then. I'm glad to be back on track in that regard. I missed it sorely.
