You wrote an amazing amount of words in 2010! Especially for NaNo, but wow, the fanfic word count really added up too. I wonder if I did my own calculations wrong since I don't feel at all like I've written over 40k worth of fanfic. You've written so much 1/2 Prince in 2010! :D And one LSK... I hope there'll be more. XD; I read the newly updated manhua chapters yesterday. I think I'm getting used to the style, or maybe the style has changed a bit... I don't know, I think the characters look nice now. XD I need to read the latest LSK chapters (I don't think I have since last month!)

I took forever to write up my year in fic post. It felt like I took the whole day. I don't know if I took ten hours though. XDD I did it in two parts... I linked everything before I went to sleep. Thought I was pretty much done (but then I started jotting down my thoughts and rereading) hahaha ( ... )

It was because of you that I wrote a lot of them! XDD

Yeah, the fanfic number is huge as well. I wrote technically in less months, yet I wrote more than I previously had in a year. In that year, it was all multi-chaptered fics, whereas this one is all one-shots. XD

*thinks about it, then calculates* o____o;; Yuletide accounts for a quarter of my fanfic wordcount. Wow.

*flails* I want to write more LSK too! Yeah, I think the characters look a lot cleaner now, and there isn't that much sparkling anymore.

They've moved site! And it looks like they've got a ton of new chapters to upload this month! :DD Yesssss. Can't wait!

@___@ I was rereading everything. Partially because it's a learning exercise where I can see what I did well, what I didn't do well and hopefully do/don't do that next time, and partially because I'd forgotten what I'd actually put in them. XDD;; But, yeeeeah, skimming through 124k amount of words... X___X

XD It is an awesome name. I wonder if I can top that name somehow ( ... )

I hope to inspire more plotbunnies still. XDDD

A huge chunk of the writing was in the latter half of the year. :3 And, oneshots are great! exorcise those plunnies I don't seem to be capable of finishing multi-chaptered stories. *sigh* Let's see if I can finish my original story. XD

Haha, wow. It's 1/4th of my fanfic word count too, since I didn't write much the rest of the year.

Ahhh, I had this comment open and then I went to read the LSK chapters at Prince Revolution from last month. So hilarious! Eating and reading wasn't very smart at all (I really should stop eating while reading stuff that's making me laugh so hard). So all the knights have their own names. :D I can't wait to find out what all of their names are!

Skimming through 124k worth of words... no wonder it took so long. XD; I was mostly rereading drabbles. I skipped the longer fics. XD

I've been wondering about that gate/shadowy thing. I guess I'll never find out. =P

Haha! So those were the ones you saved as drafts. I wondered. XD

You definitely have. :P (I have something like 363 plotbunnies on my list right now. Okay, some of these have been written, but that really won't make that big a dent.)

*calculates* ... 77% of my writing was done in the last two months... Wow. XDD

Eeeeee! They really were! XDD Yeah, especially when it's something like LSK. Saaaaame. I hope we find out anyway.

Yep. I should probably do that next year, and just skip over the NaNo chapters.

^ ^ Hmm. I guess I can say now, since it's not getting looked at anymore. The gate thing was just doing its job, though doing it really slowly. It was meant to get back Ed and Al and bring them back to Amestris since uh, they either broke the balance or they just weren't supposed to be on the Naruto world. The problem was, obviously, since Ed and Al would have to travel through the Gate again, they would also have to pay again. The first option of why the gate thing was coming to them makes sense, because why couldn't they just stay on the Naruto world then? Though, they'd want to go home, and ( ... )

How many of those will possibly get written? XD; I'm guessing, the more recent ones? XD

You're starting this year off with lots of writing though! :3 So next time it won't all be from Yuletide.

I'm trying very hard not to spoil myself further with LSK. Reading around Yu Wo's blog spoiled me with something from volume 4. XDD (But it's so squee-worthy. I want to read this already!) It's made me even more addicted. XDD

Oo, an explanation. :D It would be pretty sad for Ed and Al to lose their memories of the Naruto world (all that detail just for them to forget in the end?) but it makes a lot of sense for that to be the payment. I haven't read FMA since volume 12. I'll need to catch up one day. :3

Yeeeeah, definitely the more recent ones. XD;; Some fandoms in there, I can barely remember.

With all these memes and prompt posts, I can't seem to want to stop writing. @_____@ Soooo many ideas.

Volume four! *laughs* We're only at the end of the first volume! On the other hand, that means I have a basic idea of how far the translators have until things could get a whole lot slower.

Oooh, there's *checks* twenty-seven volumes. So, about half-way?

Yeeeah, I had a feeling that I might get killed if I wrote that ending, but it was the only one that I could think of that made sense, and wouldn't mean I had this epically, epically long fic that actually didn't finish. The title of the doesn't make sense, because I'd never actually planned on them becoming ninja. XD;;

Aaah, that was it. I was trying to remember if Al kept only having one arm taken away, except I don't think he did in the end. Since he jumped out before he payed his full toll, that means the gatebaby would be taking his memories and his body so that he's paid for ( ... )

Are you writing a lot still? XD;

It looks like there are 8 volumes in all of LSK. Volume 8 might be the last one. I don't think that one is out yet, ahhh. At one translated chapter a month, it'll take a few years until the translations get up to that point, since there are around 10 chapters per novel. XDD

Oh wow, FMA turned out long! XD 27 volumes... I guess I haven't gotten very deep into the manga then. I don't even remember what was happening where I left off.

It sounded like the fic was going to turn into an epically long fic with how much detail you put into even the food. XDD Would've been interesting if they did become ninja. XD

Ohhh, nice. :D It ties in!

Nope! XDD; I've been stuck on Cairny's fic and it's bugging me. :( It's not even that long! Saying that though, I am attempting to characterise a person who only shows up for all of one panel so that isn't exactly helping. *headdesk*

hsdlf Yeeeeey, eight volumes! It seems like Prince Revolution is planning on uploading another two chapters (one for each) this month, so they might be attempting to release a new chapter every week, but I guess once school and uni starts picking up again, that'll slow down.

Yep! Brotherhood is 64 episodes long!

XDD Yeeeah. I knew what was going to happen at the end, but just getting there and filling the middle bit... I had no idea what to do there, which was why Ed and Al were exploring with Iruka and things in general were very sloooow.

*grins*

A one panel character?? XD; More and more minor...

Oh yeah, school would probably slow things down, but the current rate is awesome. :D

I still need to watch Brotherhood. But maybe reading the manga will be faster. XD

Hm, how do they figure out how to go back? Or does it just happen all of a sudden?

I suppose the next thing I'll try is someone who hasn't been seen or something. XDD;

It iiiis. My obsession is happy. ♥

XD 108 chapters, and I think they're normally about forty pages long each, since it was monthly releases, so I don't know what would be faster.

The gatebaby tells them. I have no idea how the topic comes up; I guess Ed gets mad and yells why the [the gatebaby] keeps bugging them. They have to make the choice to go back though (but choosing between staying and possibly maybe destroying the Naruto world or going back home, but having to pay the toll again... Yeeeah.)

Hahaha, Neo and Chasel both haven't actually "appeared" yet in the main story... it's just Grisia reminiscing about them. XDD So if you write about them... XDD

I don't know, haha, but I think I usually read things faster than I watch things. But huh 108 chapters... I think Death Note was the exact same length? :O Magical number. XD;

That sounds like you could have it happen any time in the story. XDD

darkicedragon January 15 2011, 22:48:26 UTC
But I now know about them (and have definitely seen more than one panel of them now!), so that wouldn't count. Er, I guess the best thing to write about would be... an OC. ... Or that knight that got dressed up by Judgement. :D

108 is significant number in Buddhism. :) Yep, learned that from TVTropes; it's educational! XD;

Hm~ Point. XDD

lucathia_rykatu January 17 2011, 04:15:14 UTC
That's true. XD; Haha, that knight that got dressed up by Judgment would be very minor. Who else...

I associate 108 with the 108 characters in Suikoden the most. :3 Haha, TVTropes... I don't look at tropes too often, but when I do... there goes my time. XDD
