I'm just one of those strange het fangirls, eh. XD Koizumi's just...hard to pin down, because imo he's the biggest contradiction/most complicated character in the entire brigade, with Haruhi a close enough second. And there's enough stuff that can be interpreted any which way.
And hm. To be honest...I don't plan out what I write half the time. I mean, I get a theme from 31_days or something and then I have a barely-there thread that connects scenes that just pop into my head, but that's that. Say, the images and metaphors I supposedly use? They just...come. Like the pins and needles part, I just had the imagery of a heart(-shaped?) pinholder. For no good reason. And I probably should improve my writing by improving these brain expulsions of mine, but I never do, and it always makes sense to me because my brain's messy, and then. :D;
...So yeah, in other words. One of these days I'll make sense! XD;;;; It's funny because writing for the SH fandom is the first time I've ever been critiqued on my style, which is both neat and confusing all at once. Maybe it's because I'm not 'sure' of SH like I can be with other series? (Or because I rushed for deadlines sometimes, when it can take me months to finish one of these types of fic.) But eventually it'll sink in, along with the will make more sense thing. Haha.
...And I'll stop rambling now. And hahaha, if angsty's a good thing, then...I write a lot of it, so maybe that's good. XD;; Though, school's crazy busy and I was stupid to pick 31_days themes this month though they were so so shiny D: and this fic might take months to finish up. Geh.
:D;

Oh, that's sure a rather unreliable method, then XD; I usually plan everything with the sequence of events written down and whatnot, but maybe that's because doing it in English doesn't seem that natural, I don't know. These expulsions are exactly what makes your fics stand out, though! 8D
That's odd. I probably like your style right because you write Melancholy, where usually fics are written in a much more lighthearted and "simplistic" manner, so the more screwed-up and symbolic stuff is hard to come by.
And I don't really mind your ramblings! XD; Either way, I hope you'll write it one day, since it sounds extremely promising.
And man, I have to try 31_days out one day, seriously, since these the

And yeah. Nah, that system works, but not for my fics since they're almost never plot-driven any more. I have some with this style that do follow a series of events, but most of these are more like scene/character studies, so it doesn't apply so much. And wow, I really can't tell that English isn't your first language at all, so. XD
Standing out is good, I suppose, I can do that. XD I just thought that the fandom isn't as prolific, so maybe the fic will show up sooner or later. But now that you mention it, yeah, there aren't too many dark SH fics out there. Huh.
XD;;;
31_days compels you to write. Some months the themes are sort of :\ for me, but other months...I want to write them all, and then that poses problems. This month's are particularly amazing. Check them out; I'd definitely look forward to what you write. :D

Yes it is! The fandom maybe could be considered prolific, at least judging from its section on FF.net, but many of the fics posted there are fairly run-of-the-mill stuff, so. And it's probably due to the fact it's hard to write darker themes if you haven't read the novel carefully enough... while if you have, some of the parts practically beg for it. But it might be just me. XD;
Aw, I just checked out the themes for this month and it looks like I've missed some of the best ones (SEPTEMBER 12 WHY WHY WHY). But wheee... some of the other ones look appealing as well. Too bad the month's about to finish 8D;
