0033 | in which I combine an entry I meant to finish yesterday with the one I planned for today

► So, I've been wanting to play Crusader Kings II ever since I read this amusing comment about it on fail_fandomanon (side-note: that community increases my to-play list by far too much). I still don't own it, nor have I played it, but it's definitely on my radar.

I bring this up because I found myself having a bit of free time yesterday (which, at the time I'm typing this, was Saturday, 29 November 2014), and since not too long ago I read a Princess Maker Let's Play which I enjoyed, I decided that I'd look through the archive of that site to see if I could find something else to read.

I found this Crusader Kings II Let's Play. And oh my God, I had no idea that it was possible to feel this fannish about a Let's Play. Just. There were so many great characters! I had so many feelings about so many of them! asdfghjkl;

God freaking damnit, I just really loved this Let's Play. Is it possible to have a fandom based on a Let's Play? Because I want a fandom. I want all the fic about these wonderful, screwed-up people— even the ones I didn't mention here but still loved— and all the wonderful friendships and even more fascinating parental-child relationships. I kind of want to cry with how much I love it.

► So, I meant to post this entry yesterday, but apparently my rambling about my feelings about fictional characters from a Let's Play took much longer than I expected to do. Therefore, I'm going to talk about my plans for December now in this same entry.

Basically, I've been seeing those talking memes going around + all those plans to post every day in December, and I thought: I'd like to try to post every day in December. I have no idea if I'll actually be able to do this, since, to be quite frank, I'm likely going to be insanely busy the first twelve or so days of this month, what with finals and final papers and graduation and all that. Still, I'd like to try.

That being said, I'm not doing the talking meme, mainly because I don't think very many, if any, people will give me topics to talk about. Instead, I'm going to do something similar to those 30 Day Memes which were so popular a couple of years back. I found a list of book-related questions on tumblr, and I've decided that I'll answer them, with one answer per day.

Here's the list for reference: ( cut for length )

► Now for today's question/topic: Author You’ve Read The Most Books From.

I'm... not actually entirely sure? I can make a guess, though. This was the only topic which I actually looked at when I was still home for Thanksgiving Break, and when I glanced over my bookshelf, I figured that it was probably either Mary Higgins Clark (oddly enough) or Mercedes Lackey. GoodReads (which might not be entirely accurate, but is the best thing I have for figuring this stuff out) tells me that I've read 34 Mercedes Lackey books as opposed to 20 by Mary Higgins Clark. Since I can't think of any author that could beat that, at least not on the top of my head, I'm going to go with Mercedes Lackey as my answer.

Now, I could expand on that, but I'm going to end this here, mainly because today I have: one essay to write which I haven't started, another to outline so I can write it on an exam tomorrow, an article which I need to finish reading, and a 300-500 word commentary I need to write on said article, and I really need to get to work.
