Open Thread: Oracle Hotline

Ugh, things have been so hectic and my schedule's been so off (for good and bad reasons) that I've been very remiss posting this. I'm in Tokyo right now! I just posted an exchange fic, squeaking in under the wire more than usual for me. One more to go this summer--and the deadline is while I'm in Europe, so I'd better get that done in advance, oh dear.

In only semi-writing news, I got iMusic installed and immediately started making pairing fanmixes, yay! :) Japan hasn't had any streaming music service before now--Spotify and Pandora are both blocked--so this is a thrill for me. Anything inspiring you recently?

I saw they took down grooveshark, speaking of streaming music, so I was pretty sad :( I don't know of any good replacements, so you'll have to tell me how iMusic is.

Currently trying to regain inspiration, so I don't have an answer for the question of the post - you'll of course be the first to know when I do.

Yeah, the loss of Grooveshark was a blow! That, by the way, was why my phone got throttled twice in the last two months--with Grooveshark gone I started making Youtube playlists instead, not really understanding the MASSIVE amounts of bandwidth Youtube gobbles up...

So far I love iMusic, I confess, though I can't compare it to anything other than "no streaming music at all," so my standards are pretty low. Just the ability to make playlists alone has made me so very happy, and their curated lists are really nice!

Fingers crossed for inspiration for you!
