Happy New Year!

[darkicedragon]

I pretty much fell asleep about twenty minutes after midnight. Again, was feeling sooo sleepy some two hours before the event. XDD;

All eleven fics are now up on the writing journal. XDD;; This Yuletide was so much fun!

11 fics. You are crazy. XDD

Oh hey, that "general" thing is... pretty much the same with me. I tend to keep the genre the same as the series, so if the series is quirky and humorous, my fic usually is too... if the series is serious and depressing, my fics are too. XD; I should try to expand from canon more than this...

Haha, my name showed up a lot in this post (just like you did in mine...). I don't know how you ended up writing 4 fandoms that I somehow got you into. =P I feel like such an enabler, hahaha... XDD

You already know why the title and the summary made me think the fics were written by you. Another that didn't have to do with the actual text was your scene dividers. =P As for the actual text, there's the way you use italics for emphasis. Not everyone does that, but I was reading the fics I thought were by you and went, oh yeah, this got italicized just like I thought it would. My gifts were a given, since I was pretty sure no one else would be writing me Tegami Bachi out of the blue (even though that one gave off a slightly different feeling from your other fics)... and the Noblesse ones, I knew you were going to write some Noblesse. I had an advantage there with introducing those series to you. =P The ones that I didn't already have an advantage with were the How to Train Your Dragon ones, but you know your title and summary clued me in. =P When I started reading, I was like, oh man, this has to be written by you, and you must've loved writing Toothless's mannerisms. (I was totally thinking of Marland's ears at that point, hehe).

1/2 Prince -->
Help: When I was reading this one, I was thinking... you're writing about coursework again! Let's see how this one turns out differently... XD;

Status Effect: Oh man, status effects would be so fun to explore! Now, throw in Sunshine wondering what status effects are since to him and Kenshin, they're real...

How to Train Your Dragon -->
Left Behind: Just you mentioning the hammerhead whale made me laugh. That would've changed the mood entirely. XD

Relearn: I think I read this one first out of your HTTYD fics. I was flailing and thinking OMG this has to be written by you! Now I need to see if you wrote anything else in the fandom! (I then picked out Wait from the title and summary =P ) But I didn't want to be too overt about it in the comment in case I was completely off and subjected some unknown person to my bout of mis-identification. XD I'm unsure if anyone else wrote as much about Toothless and his little mannerisms with his ears flicking back as you did. =P

Wait: I identified this from the title and summary, and then there was the scene dividers and your italics and cute Toothless. =P Stoick + Toothless interaction was soooo cute. :D

Noblesse -->
Yes, you need to catch up with this series. XD There's another new character, though I'm not fond of him yet. Not too sure where the new plot is headed!

I am very gleeful my letter spawned many plunnies for you. XDD

Explore: However did you make merely exploring a house so fun?? XD I kind of didn't expect that would be one of the things you picked up from my letter. XD Hm, maybe Frankenstein experimented and found a way to make his house sparkling clean. A new kind of detergent... XDD

Missing: This amused me way too much. It is so true! And yeah, we did talk about Rai getting kidnapped, didn't we? XD

Name: This killed meeeee. In a good way. XD; Because oh, M-21. <3333

Tegami Bachi -->
Never Give Up: So. I saw your comment in yuletide where you told someone that people might write in fandoms the recipient didn't request. XDD I was totally wondering before then how it was possible that the number of fics and fandoms didn't add up for me on the fandoms page (I then thought maybe the fandom page hadn't updated itself yet). XD; But after I saw your comment, it was like, oooh, okay, I bet I'm going to get an expected fandom! And I sure did! I never guessed it. =P This fic was different from your usual, but I also got to thinking... haha, with all the writing and writing research for NaNo, this fic must've been a perfect one to write. ;)

Ahahaha, that ending you were planning would have been very cheesy. XDD

[lucathia_rykatu]

Yoroshiku Master -->
I'm ecstatic that you actually wrote Yoroshiku Master fic. =P I got the pinch hit on the 18th. XD

Called: Rihito seems to me like someone who already had his life planned out (he has places he wants to be, stuff he wants to do) and this reindeer business is really throwing a snag in his plans. :3 Starting the scene with him finishing his exams was nice. :D If you had written the kiss the way you imagined, that would have been something to see too. XDDD

Working: Yeah, Cairnsy went to the pinch hit list twice! I guess I was... third batter? :'D Haha, poor Kurumi. You misspelled her name. I replaced her name entirely with someone else's. ^^;; I never wondered where Daisuke's santa hat came from, but this ficlet made me think about that. XDD

... I don't know how long it took me to write this comment (er, comments, since they had to be split). XD

[darkicedragon]

So I was only two days late then. ;p

Called: Yeah. :)

XDD It would have definitely been different from what I normally write!

Working: Aaah, poor Kurumi (it has just taken me three attempts to type her name *facepalm*). We can't get her name right! Hee.

XDD Looong comment!

[lucathia_rykatu]

Yeah, only 2 days late, but the pinch hit list is fast. XD; Like, I think everything usually gets claimed within an hour? XDD I was surprised when I claimed it and got it. I totally thought I was too late.

I was going "Nooo" when my comment wouldn't post because it got too long. XDD

[darkicedragon]

It definitely seemed like that when I joined (even less than that. XD Sooo many emails in my inbox during that time!)

[darkicedragon]

I was on a huuuge writing kick after NaNo. XD (I wasn't the only one at least; there was someone who wrote twenty-one!)

XDD Because you know what happens when I get obsessed?

*laughs* My scene dividers gave me away! I was right! XDD *laughs again*

My italics? *thinks about it* Yeeeah, I don't really see italics used that much, and sometimes I seem to use italics so much. ... *facepalm* XDD;; Next year, I'll write you something with a really long title and change my scene dividers and not use that many italics! (You'll still figure out it's me XD)

Yep! I loved writing Toothless, and I thought that I could be obvious from how Toothless' ears were flicking about the place. X3

Help: XDD

Status Effect: They would! ... D: Gaaaaah, that wouldn't be good. But I guess I'm already exploring what's death to an NPC (I will... eventually get back to that fic XD;) so yeah. ;____; It'd be interesting to write.

Left Behind: Yeeeah, it really would have. XD;

Relearn: *checks* Yeah it was. I was very confused when I saw it started with 'Hmmm.' XDD I was like, 'huh?' It took me a while to realise that you suspecting it was me. *is very slow* I think I only figured out when you said that you thought the summary was going to be the first line of the fic in Wait.

XDD In the HtTYD fics I read, I don't think I saw that much Toothless either.

Wait: Identified by cute Toothless! *cracks up*

*Flails* I'll try to soon-ish!

Explore: I don't knoooow! I didn't think it was going to go past, idunno, three hundred words or something and then I ended up passing the one-thousand mark. XDD

I think I picked that because it was a really simple thing to write about. Just... M-21 exploring a house, nothing much to it right? And then his thoughts started kicking in, and since it's Frankenstein's house... XDD Yeah.

I can really see Frankenstein experimenting a bunch of products to see what one's better.

There was a three-hour gap between the comment for Never Give Up and Explore. XDD That is a very long time spent giggling!

Missing: XD I really enjoyed writing the quirky humour in this one. ♥

Never Give Up: I realised after I'd posted it that I hadn't said that I'd done that last year, but if I then commented on my comment making that clarification, it was going to sound like a very specific denial and then probably make it very obvious that I had written a fandom that someone hadn't requested in their letter. XD

It really was perfect to write about. :3

XD;;

[lucathia_rykatu]

T-Twenty-one? Over achievers. =P You'd need to write like... a fic a day!

The scene dividers were the easiest to check for. =P Especially since they were all the same across the gifts I got. XDD My scene dividers though are all over the place and are different on different sites. XD; They're generally five dashes, not centered, but I use the hr tag on AO3, or thought I did. I checked and saw I wasn't very consistent with using the hr tag. XD

LOL! This made me laugh. (I was sort of... squeaking. Typing and eating an orange and laughing at the same time is not a good mix) I'll be on the look out for a long title then. XDDD

Status Effect: Ooo, so that fic is still in the works! I wonder if it's going to make me bawl. D:

Relearn: *laughs* Yeah, that "hmmm" was me thinking that you were the one behind the fic. XDDD I was hoping I wasn't confusing some other person, but I guess I confused you for a bit. XDD

Explore: XDD I read the fic. My immediate reaction was lots of giggling. I don't remember what I was doing between that comment and the previous one for Never Give Up. XD But yeah, lots of giggling.

Never Give Up: LOL! Yeah, commenting to clarify would have made it sound like a denial. XD

[darkicedragon]

Well, I was able to at least write two fics in one day; I hadn't checked how long their fics were though, but still. XDD

Ahaha!

>3 It will be an interesting challenge to make myself not recognisable. ... Wait. I'd better stop saying what my plans are (but it's eleven months away, so I'll end up forgetting anyway).

Yep, Reset is still going, though I haven't even looked at it for over... three months now? Wow. So long. XD It'll be a while until I look at it again too, what with completing Searching. Aw. :(

[lucathia_rykatu]

I haven't ever tried to disguise my writing for Yuletide since there are so many Yuletide fics... but I guess fandoms kind of narrow it down. XD; I will be very amused if you still remembered this by December and do go out of your way to disguise your writng. XD

Aww. (But yay, Searching!)

[darkicedragon]

XDD I wouldn't try to disguise my writing for all - just for your gift. I don't think I'd be able to keep up a different style for very long.

*grins*

I was looking at my document for Reset and... ew. XD There's ____ and [more?] and a slash between two words where I couldn't decide which word to use and underlines all over the place! Looook:

he rambled, waving/gesturing ____.
"It's okay," Sunshine said softly. [his eyes gentle/kind/soft].
Prince nodded [___? <-]

DDD: This is going to take some work to edit. I'm... not even sure what the last one means. XD; And then I've got this section at the bottom where I'd taken out scenes but wanted to keep, because I was switching pov and gaaaah! *flails*

[lucathia_rykatu]

Hahaha, I see. XDD (I fail hard at different styles. I sometimes don't even know what my own style is supposed to be like though, haha)

Wow, that's a lot of ____ and other notes. XDD What in the world does that last one mean??
