Fiiinally doing the 'Fics done in '08' meme. *snerk* Took my time. Last year, it took me to the ninteenth to finally do it. XD

Fullmetal Ninja [Chapter 7]Words: 2,473
....D: First fic of the year and it's in April omg.
...I'm also scared to look at it, in case I go 'I need to change this, this and thiiiis.' At the moment, I'm kinda going, 'Wow, I blab a lot and is this going to go anywhere?' *wince* (The fic in general)

@__@ 2,500 words looks loooong in my eyes. Big block'o'texts too, which I like. ^ ^; I don't really like having one-sentence long paragraphs. (You can tell I'm not really reading, can't you?)
No Such Things as GhostsWords: 484
Bwahaha! I forgot about this!
Quite a bit of italics.
Could do with some more description. That's what normally happens when I rush things though. =/
I should probably write a sequel/carry on fromt hat, shouldn't I?

Maaan, this plotbunny ate. My. Head. It also helped that I was trying to get away from Fullmetal Ninja too. *snerk* Something that wasn't serious, something that was cracky (for me, anyway), something that hopefully wouldn't involve too much thought when writing it. Not to mention, Donald has magic to explain why the two groups can talk to each fine.
I'm kinda annoyed that I have big block'o'text that's describing Sora, Donald and Goofy though. Ugh. D:
Probably also needs more description or something to slow down the pace.
:D Gotta love Stork.
...And there's too many people in the one place, talking. D: I never liked that.
XD And that's a baaad way to end a chapter.

Huh, they were posted a day within each other.
More questions. And Konohamaru's cute. X3

All these high numbers... Man, I'm not used to them anymore. *snerk*
The problem with adding description though, is if you add to much, and then the reader forgets what the people are talking about. =/ Which is why I think the first part is so bare. Or something. I might have just not been able to think what to make them do.
Hee. Questions about the Crystals/disapppearing sword.
... I'm getting an urge to print all chapters/one-shots and then go through them with a red pen. Because there's always going to be something that I want to add, something I notice. *headdesk*
Or there's some random description that seems to come out of nowhere. 'His eyes were wandering out the window as a flock of birds decided to fly next to them.' With little description before it, it makes it seem like it's important. *Siiiigh*
I also know now, that the image that I had of Saharr wasn't right, when it showed up again in later episodes.
Another abrupt ending. I really need to work on those...

Bwah. Five days later? I must have just continued on writing. O___O Insane.
=/ Don't like some of the sentences. They're short. Which is what my beta-readers say is my problem - my sentences are too long. *snerk*
Omg, for Stork's other animals, I just wrote out the alphabet in a five by five (and one) grid, then closed my eyes and pointed. I'd stop when I got something that was pronouncable. You can see I eventually gave that up in First Impressions, but I'll go talk about that when I get to it.
XD Magpie. *snickers*
Am still loving Stork.
:3 Female Keyblade user. I think I partially wanted to make sure that Sora wouldn't think it was Mickey, so that I could have more variation than 'he', and it say that it wasn't the first time Heartless have been around. I can't remember if that's canon or not. Either that, or something mistranslated, wrote it down wrong.
The reason why the Storm Hawks' weapons worked was because they were powered by Crystals. I can't remember if I actually put that in or not.
Working out how the Stork Hawks were going to sneak into Cyclonia took a while. Someone who I had betaed a couple of months before had a brilliant idea, so I had to make sure that mines wasn't anything like it. I wasn't sure about asing him to borrow his idea at the time, I think; I wanted the fic to be mine overall, not borrowing other people's ideas. So I came up with, let's go make things harder for them, make them tired since they're going to be flying there, from the border. By themselves. >D *feels evil*
Used Avalon because of the vague mythology in the show.
Omg, I hated working out how long it was going to take them to travel there. I had to make calculations. Twice. D: I suck.
Bad Aerrow, you're supposed to be responsible. And you're on a stealth mission. But you're still a kid, so that's okay.
Huuuuuuuge comment.

Wow, it's been that long since I last looked at this? I'm surprised I haven't been bombarded. Or maybe it's because I ignore the 'Update plz' ones since I usually get that anyway. One person's asked about it. Asked. :D 'Course, if I leave it for longer, people probably won't be as patient. ^ ^;
Small wordcount too. *feels guilty*
...Ah. The translation chapter. D: So boring.
If I ever finish this, I'll probably hate italics with a firey passion. Or never want to do 'I can't speak your language' fics ever again.
The scene was more... patient than what I tohught it was going to be. I can't find the post/comment at the moment. :( Ed got frustrated at people not understanding him and transmuted a... piece of wood? Plastic? into a knife. The people he was talking to? Kakashi and an ANBU. XD Ed wonders why everyone's staring at him.

Die. Die! Don't like this one whatsoever. Didn't like it the day after I posted it. The writing suuuucks and just, ugh!
I think I'm keeping it up as a reminded for me to not post fics that I speed write or something.
Surprise Visitors [Chapter 4]Words: 3,756
Longest. Chapter. Ever. :D I kept on going because there just wasn't a good place to stop and the ending wasn't exactly an epilogue so.. yeah.
11,583 words in just over a month! W00t!
I remember working out the teams. XD
Definitely happy with Dark Ace at the start.
I can't describe rooms.
Wee! Deliberate contradictions and trying to describe Master Cyclonis was a nightmare. I'm still not sure what she says is OOC, which was what I was going for.
The fight scene's very... disjointed, isn't it?
...Is it bad that I'm feeling sorry for Cyclonis, what with her crazy reaction after being hit by Thundagra?
*snicker* How fit is Aerrow if his heartbeat is already returning back to normal? Whoops.
The scene with Master Cyclonis and the Dark Ace? Love One of the first scenes that came into my head and stuck. :3 ...Though it needs to slow down just a tad.

Yeeeah, the writing's bitty. I was aiming for Ed's thoughts being all confused but... Don't think it worked out all too well.
>3 Like the ending though.

The ball gets confusing on who it's hitting.
XD Cute and funny.

Fullmetal Ninja [Extra] Words: 536
Heh. I wrote the same promt twice. XD
I think I should give the being a nickname. Or something.
Yeeeah, feeling pretty sarcastic here. Was drawing from psychology stuff, 'what we found was this and we'll generalise our sample-size of one-hundred to the whole world! Yey!'
First ImpressionsWords: 1,010
Yeeey for made up monsters! *sarcasm* I gave up halfway through with the grid and just chose things that appeared in other fandoms or what would show up in the series. >3
Wasn't sure if it came through that Stork was less secure about himself, as well as him being more paranoid. ^ ^

Yet another Master Cyclonis-centric fic. =/ I just seem to focus on the same things - what can I used to ram home that I think they'd be really good friends?
Overall word count: 26,289.
D: Half of what I wrote the previous year. I think it's going to get another beating once fourth year starts too.
I talked soooo much. Took me over an hour and a half to write! XD;;
