Songs Ficdump: Author's Note
After a very long time, I've published something again. The masterpost of sorts may be found here: http://arashirabu.livejournal.com/5118627.html The stories are, of course, published in ficxperiments.livejournal.com. Please continue to support us~
Frankly, I haven't stopped writing - although I know I haven't published anything in ages. The latest of the stories that are part of the ficdump was written in July of last year - it was ready for publishing then, but somehow I just let it rot in my folders. I don't know where I first got the idea of writing about the members' exes - although I do love exploring the history between people's exes, because I think that more often than we think, a couple breaks up not because one of them has been horrible, but just because the circumstances weren't right. I do remember that I wrote the story for Sho, Sad Movies, first. After that, I realized I liked the idea of using songs as springboards for fics, and since shorts are relatively easier to do, I thought I'd write a story for each of them.
My favorite among the five is the one I wrote for Ohno, Mister Sandman. I like it not just because of the gap in Ohno's character, but also because it's a quiet story - I don't manage to come up with those very often, so I feel very happy each time I do. Personally, I think the story that came out best in terms of technicals is the one for Nino, Broken Vow, because it's very angsty and comical, and writing stuff like that means you just let your brain fart take over the keyboard. I think the story for Aiba, Mrs Robinson, is difficult to understand if you've never heard of the original Simon and Garfunkel song, or if you don't have an inkling of what the movie The Graduate is about. The story for Jun, Almost Lover, is remarkably uninspired, but at least it's got the best title among the five to make up for that lack.
Like I've said, I haven't stopped writing. I also have two completed horror one-shots that are rotting in my folders because I don't feel up to posting them yet. I'm halfway done with a complicated horror, psycho thriller called Ripples, and so far it's very bad. The worst part is that I don't think I can save it. I just want it done though.
I wanted to publish a 20-chapter story for Sho's birthday this year, but I've sadly not crossed the first half of the thing yet. I've been working on its writing since March of last year, and the plot has been fermenting itself in my head - in various versions - since 2011. I'm not sure if it will ever see the light of day, as it's too think-y for a romcom, but if it does, I'll be sure to post it at ficxperiments.
Meanwhile, I am still thinking of which flavor of cake to buy for Sho's birthday party on Saturday. Suggestions much appreciated.
