[fic] zerosum games (are not the only sort), Death Note

[ambientlight]

i decided not to bother with the chess terms or even the math, because i am lazy and not intellectual enough. like some 20-odd percent of all death note fic, this is set during the handcuff months. who needs originality, anyway. :\

i apologise for the overuse of parentheses. it made sense at the time!

Hee! I like that - L making up percentages just to screw with Light's head.

[ambientlight]

eheh, thanks. unfortunately, i can't claim credit for that -- i think the mangaka said as much in an interview somewhere, probably in HTR 13? ^_^;;

you make me hungry! D:

but otherwise, *guzzleguzzlemeltmelt*

[ambientlight]

the anime makes me hungry! i am merely trying to fit with canon. :D

and thankyou. ^_^

*wibbles and melts* Janice, have I ever told you that I love your writing stype? Because if I haven't, now's a good time.

[ambientlight]

as always, buchou-sama, you flatter me. ^_^;;

The interaction between L and Light feels very IC, the dialogue just exactly right.
(L messing with Light's head seems to be de rigeur for any DN fic.)

[ambientlight]

eheh, thanks! i'm glad you think so; i kind of wish we'd been able to see more of the handcuff-months interaction in canon.

( it is only fair. L deserves to win. ;_; )

L preferring igo makes a lot of sense (and appeals of course to my inner Hikaru no Go fan). ^_^ I really enjoyed reading this; I like the way you develop a story in such short vignettes (from my experience, it's not such an easy thing to manage).

[ambientlight]

hee, glad you think so! light seems much more the chess person, to me. and thanks for the kind comment; i suffer from an inability to write in anything but short vignettes, so i'm glad if that works out somehow. ^_^;;
