Proof positive that sticking to long-term decisions is not my forte.
(Update June 2009) Lynn here. Partially for the purposes of planning a Tenipuri 2009/2010 Big Bang, partly because fandom squee is becoming more difficult on ![[info]](http://l-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif) readerofasaph, assyrian is back in commission for the forseeable future. (My future not being at all forseeable, naturally.) Still, it's all good.
POISONS INCLUDE (among many, many others):
Prince of Tennis
Hikaru no Go
Katekyou Hitman Reborn
Hunter x Hunter

[Nov. 29th, 2009|12:04 am] |
(12:00:07 AM) ![[info - personal]](http://s.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png) jetsam: Founderfic is... interesting as a subsection of hp fandom
(12:00:17 AM) readerofasaph: I've never read much, tbh.
(12:00:25 AM) readerofasaph: mostly because I'm pretty attached to my particular vision of the founders.
(12:00:33 AM) jetsam: most of it is bad, put it that way
(12:00:39 AM) readerofasaph: if there's fic out there though (and I'm sure there is)
(12:00:44 AM) readerofasaph: where Salazar and Godric are BFF.
(12:00:49 AM) jetsam: I was looking for slytherin fic over the past few days, no real reason
(12:00:49 AM) readerofasaph: who betray each other in horrible ways.
(12:00:56 AM) readerofasaph: over Helga Hufflepuff.
(12:01:00 AM) jetsam: someone was trying to put them in 1600
(12:01:01 AM) readerofasaph: *beams*
(12:01:04 AM) readerofasaph: ...right
(12:01:13 AM) readerofasaph: I think I was going to set them on Avalon.
(12:01:39 AM) jetsam: others... it's very one big happy family. there's always a dark lord, always a malfoy ancestor (forgetting that mal foi is French, and they wouldn't be around for another hundred yeras)
(12:01:43 AM) jetsam: lack of history
(12:01:49 AM) jetsam: ...I'm a little picky
(12:02:11 AM) readerofasaph: I would have thought the logical thing would be to fuse them with Arthurian legend.
(12:02:12 AM) readerofasaph: tbh.
(12:02:30 AM) jetsam: given the Excaliber similiarities? absolutely
(12:02:42 AM) jetsam: sword of gryffindor indeed
(12:02:42 AM) readerofasaph: ahahaha.
(12:02:46 AM) readerofasaph: MERLIN/FOUNDERFIC CROSSOVER.
(12:02:50 AM) readerofasaph: I DARE YOU.
(12:02:53 AM) jetsam: XD
(12:03:00 AM) jetsam: I spent most of 7 grumbling about the lame arthurian xover
(12:03:01 AM) readerofasaph: *wheedles*
(12:03:05 AM) jetsam: hmmm
(12:03:06 AM) jetsam: maybe
(12:03:18 AM) jetsam: I've only watched a couple of episodes of merlin
In other news, my birthday is over. I am going to continue doing homework and bemoan being old and hoary at the age of 23. |

Right. I couldn't finish this for the last round of khr_undercover, and I didn't finish it for this round. Somebody take it off my hands right now and think of a plot for it. Sad to say, I didn't have very many goals for this fic beyond the opportunity to write Yamamoto running through dense undergrowth on a moonless night while wearing bloody, ripped jeans.
...although I haven't managed to write that either. A thorough failure.
Gokudera is OOC, but we'll ignore that; it's nigh-on impossible for him to be IC and still remain a tolerable human being.

Ko Yeong-ha always means what he says and never what he implies. Taeseon never means what he says and controls his implications to the fullest; the purest of intentions. Somehow, regardless, they are friends; or at least as friendly as two people can be with opposite definitions of the truth.

[12:45] readerofasaph: I really want to see fanart of Waya as a big mother hen.
[12:45] readerofasaph: with yellow Isumi-chick under one wing.
[12:45] shiorikazen: HAHAHA
[12:45] readerofasaph: and yellow Shindou-chick squished under the other wing.
[12:45] readerofasaph: while at the same time Waya reaches out to pull on the tail of Ochi-chick.
[12:45] readerofasaph: who is trying to wriggle away into the corner to sulk.
[12:45] shiorikazen: STOPIT. THE IMAGE

Urrgh I really wish I could go help lindra and shiorikazen host the ![[info - community]](http://s.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/community.png) drive_a chats but arrrgh I have to go to work wai wai.
Also, nobody wants to know how much time I have spent in the last week attempting to dissect individual manga panels of Ko Yeongha. Horrendously this feels like Kirihara redux. (Horrendous because both Kirihara and Draco Malfoy always did have awful habits of EATING MY BRAIN all the time without ever producing anything like a plot bunny. |

I have had enough sleep for two nights in a row it is amazing how much better that makes one feel about the world at large.
Certain blinded fic challenge things:
Defaulted out of ![[info]](http://l-stat.livejournal.com/img/community.gif) hng_deathmatch in Round 2 due to many and various reasons. Round 1 fic is now up at the fic journal: by the light of fireflies and snow
[I keep saying I'll crosspost fic links to this journal but I never actually manage to remember to do this! Quick catch-up on the stuff I've posted since moving to DW (there's really not a lot):
(tenipuri)
irresistible force paradox, ficlet, AU, Atobe, Ryoma,
Puss in Boots - fairy tale retelling, 3000 words, Mizuki, Yuuta
Prognosis - Yagyuu/Oshitari/Niou, SF AU, 6000 words.
(hikago)
Dice, in a Game of War - Ch. 1, Waya, Touya, noir/fantasy AU,
(hxh)
all children grow up, drabble, Killua, Isumi. ]
Guessing for khr_undercover: if you have any idea which fic I wrote, feel free to leave a guess here together with a choice of prompts, and I suppose I'll write a drabble for people who guess correctly (I suppose because you know what I am like with drabble IOUs really). My only guessing hint: I didn't really have a lot of time to write last week, and the length and style (or lack of rather) both reflect that. |

hng_deathmatch: entries for the first round of are up here, so head over there and vote on the outcome of the matches if you feel like it! At least half of the matches are very, very close in the polling atm, so your vote will definitely count. shiai vs speranze clearly the Epic Showdown of the round.
Prompts Meme for the Tenipuri Big Bang are up at drive_a, both on Dreamwidth and Livejournal, for anyone who has good ideas for 20K fics and wants to give them away, or anyone who wants to write a 20K fic and has no ideas!
The canon scouting/support thread will probably open next week, followed by a general. lindra will be organising monthly chats in multiple timezones soonish.
IRL it's a bit of a busy week; classes have started and I'm working four days this week on top of that (plus have got to get khr_undercover fics sorted), so if anyone sends me an e-mail/PM/message of any other kind and does not hear back within a few days, please contact me again; it is possible that I simply forgot at all about it.

readerofasaph (9:55:15 PM): *finishes Hikago 18, frowns at her thoughts*
readerofasaph (9:55:31 PM): for some reason my Hikago fic has always been a kind of - way to grapple with the series.
readerofasaph (9:55:37 PM): with varying degrees of success.
lindra(10:13:59 PM): hmm.
lindra(10:16:16 PM): I think the view the series takes is so overarching, so endlessly repetitive, with many implied and explicit variations on a theme, that to concentrate on a particular individual, a particular segment of set of people at a point in time, to say this is about /them/, not about /this/, they are the people-playing, not the it-being-played by them, is to work against the series. it foregrounds what is left to end as a part of an insubstantial whole.
lindra(10:16:32 PM): which is why I find fic with a sort of dreamy, contemplative tone to be, sometimes, missing the point.

A House Divided is, I think, set to be a KHR fandom classic when lysapadin finally unleashes it on the public; I can hardly wait for it to be finished. (If nothing else it will make my list of KHR fandom classics.)
My khr_undercover fic is 1000 words so far, and probably a bit of a conceptual mess - if I could think of a way to make it work without so many disparate elements I would but on the other hand I wouldn't, more fun to cram all the random cool ideas in. My guessing hint for this round: weirdly incomprehensible thing with confusing setup and complete lack of resolution.

| drabble request |
[Jul. 17th, 2009|08:28 pm] |
so. I have to write for khr_undercover. I have to write for bedtimepuri. I have to get started, help me please, on my big bang fic for drive_a. And all my brain is offering me is a swordfight between Ogata and Hikaru.
I know I owe people a lot of drabbles for a lot of prompts, but they are all lost in the murky depths of my LJ. Give me new ideas! New prompts! Hopefully they will kickstart my creative energy! If not then maybe I will at least write you a one-sentence fic!
And erm, Tenipuri and KHR prompts particularly urgent, but feel free to request anything in any fandom you think I may know.
Also attn: Australian and NZ anime fans, the Sydney Anime and Manga Show is running a fanfiction competition, details here. The deadline is in like 26 hours, but hey, it's Saturday! Anyone can write 2000 words in a single Saturday quite easily, right?
As an incentive or a disincentive, I am apparently one of the judges for this event. At least until the organisers realise the gaping holes in my anime knowledge. (Yu-Gi-Oh what? Sailor Moon what?)

| drive_a: sign-ups now open for the tenipuri big bang |
[Jul. 16th, 2009|01:09 pm] |
sign-ups/information posts are now live at drive_a. (mirror comm at drive_a if anyone prefers to keep track via LJ; however sign-ups /must/ be done through the DW comm).
at the moment we're looking for artists, betas, and writers, as well as general volunteers. sign-ups are open until November 14th, which also happens to be our due date for rough drafts.
(i.e. you can sign-up on the 14th provided you have 15 000 words of fic ready!)
(layout is not yet live. incidentally if anyone there is good at making icons and banners, I REALLY NEED TO TALK TO YOU. *tragicface* ) |

...and while I'm still writing up PoT big bang rules.
Xanxus is a sociopath. Discuss.
(Interestingly Hibari is not at all sociopathic, and Mukuro I think is pretending to be sociopathic rather than being the thing itself. Byakuran may qualify though; hopefully he doesn't secretly develop a woobie side in the end. Mukuro's (and Xanxus's) unexpected kindnesses always feel to me like Characterisation Failure rather than complex character development.) |

| some day I will actually stick to writing one fic for more than 500 words, I promise |
[Jul. 14th, 2009|05:09 pm] |
*eyes* So, Em? Hikago wasn't your fandom, but will you finish this one? :D :D :D
...it was meant for khr_undercover but at about 300 words in I realised that this thing was not going to be less than ten thousand words long. It probably won't even be so obliging as to be twenty thousand words long. THIS MEANS THAT I AM NOT LIKELY TO FINISH IT:
“You're the Bucking Horse.”
The teenager waiting just inside the metro station was startlingly fashionable. On first glance Dino Cavallone noticed silver dungarees on a pair of long slim legs, a close-fitting black jumper, many many electronic accessories, and a general impression of stylishness.
On closer look he noticed that the stranger's features were as beautiful as his clothes, but unfortunately twisted into a grimace of sullen aggression. It was an expression that sat easily on his face, suggesting the wearer's long experience with deploying scowls, frowns, glares, and every other facial pattern capable of conveying displeasure.
After a few seconds of studying him, Dino decided that while the young man was well acquainted with misery, he was also prone to thinking himself more miserable than he actually was.

readerofasaph (3:08:58 PM): THEY HAVE STARTED DRAWING DINO/HIBARI.

Marui! Marui!

we're so ready for final fantasy tactics: white mage, black mage
readerofasaph (3:37:01 PM): is it just me.
readerofasaph (3:37:07 PM): or is KiriBun /insanely/ popular.

readerofasaph (3:38:59 PM): until Kirihara buys the Rottweiler.
readerofasaph (3:39:07 PM): and Marui takes the All You Can Eat Deal.
readerofasaph (3:39:17 PM): and finishes with Campylobacter
readerofasaph (3:39:31 PM): which incidentally he passes to Yukimura via a medical impossibility.
readerofasaph (3:39:45 PM): and Yukimura gets Guillain Barre in the aftermath of the food poisoning.
