A very bloggy post

That, like a habit, skims everything but focuses attention on nothing.  I was originally going to write a post on one of these, but couldn't muster up enough for any of them.  So, here they are in sporadic bits...

{1} EVE&ADAM
by the Applegates (Mr. and Mrs.?)

[My thoughts on the book; vague spoilers]Ridiculously excited about this book because it is by the author (well, arguably Read more... )

For some reason, I am absolutely terrible at keeping up with authors I love, so I didn't even know Eve&Adam existed. Yet another book to put into my 'buy and read' queue!

And I'll have you know that I was going to stop Pokemon after Black 1 and had no plans to play Black 2. But then shortly after reading the first two sections of BSV, I was compelled to go out and snatch up a copy of Black 2 as fast as I could. SEE WHAT YOUR WRITING DOES TO ME?! D:

I'm about half way through Arc III at the moment, but once I do get around to finishing Akashi's section, I will be reviewing with all the incoherent fan spazz I can muster!

And asdfoljc, you put my busy-body self on the credits page. I am totally not worthy of that honor, but absolutely thrilled to pieces by it <3

DO YOU HAVE BLACK 2? OMIGOD GIVE ME YOUR FRIEND CODE. MINE'S IS 5158 1916 6465 AND MY GAME HANDLE IS 'IVORY'. How far along are you? D-do you want to trade Magnemites? *sparkle sparkle sparkle* I CAN NEVER HAVE ENOUGH POKEMON-PLAYING FRIENDS.

sdkljlkajjadsljldsfjdf;;;; please excuse my self-pitying commentary and thank you so much for plodding along so far for such a comparatively long piece! I know it's a lot of time to spend, especially on action/adventure, and I hope Midorima gets enough spotlight! Although, most everyone is going to make an appearance in Kagami's section, though Akashi will probably get the least screentime. xD;;

BUT OF COURSE. YOU ARE FANTASTIC AND I CANNOT WAIT FOR MORE OF YOUR WRITING. So, you know, write! >)

YES I DO HAVE BLACK2 AND MY FRIEND CODE IS 2280 5391 6228! And I am totally up for trading Magnemites...if I have one that is. What are they needed for exactly and why Magnemite?

I 'completed' the game meaning that I've beaten the Elite Four, but the Pokemon addict within wants more so I'm semi-contemplating a reboot and building from the ground up with a different party. If I'm crazy enough to go through with it, are there any Pokemon you've been looking for that I could send your way before I start the grind over?

In regards to BSV, I think all of them get a good deal of spotlight, especially considering this is supposed to be Akashi-centric part!

Writing is happening! Just slowly because smut is hard, and smut with some semblance of substance is down right excruciating.

Okay, just added you!
Oh, Magnemites? Um, well, this is an in-depth explanation, but it's more or less "the more people you trade with, the more levels your Join Avenue will get, and the more levels your JA gets, the more services it will offer you!" Magnemites are easily searchable via GTS (so you can trade internationally) because they don't have a gender and are really easy to catch. I have a PC box filled with Magnemites from all across the world! *sparkles*

Oh my god go for ittttt. You know you want to! :D *laughs* I'm glad to know I'm not the only one guilty of this! Out of curiosity, what season is it in your game? (I'm Spring.) Because... I'd be interested a non-Spring Deerling!

Ooh, if you actually do restart and would like me to trade some pokemon over, feel free to ask! I love breeding and grinding and breeding and grinding and trading! \o/

Uwaaa, thank you! <3 It's always such a relief to hear!

DETAILS, DETAILS. Well, whatever you're ( ... )

I have more or less how trading mechanics work in recent games, but I am going to have to catch a ton of Magnemite now!

Unfortunately, I'm in spring as well and didn't nab Deerling while it was in the right season. But then again, I'm really bad about catching Pokemon once I've balanced out my party. XD

Will definitely have to remember that! Thanks!

Attempting KagaMido smut since OTP!smut seemed like it would be easy at the time. I'm intending for it to be a sister fic to that one piece you prompted me to write last year, but we'll see where this wayward plot bunny wants to go.

Godspeed! >,D

Hahaha, that's okay. All Deerling are cute!
My initiall Black 2 team was severely undertrained. I remember having to borrow a friend's Kyogre to beat Iris because her +3 Dragon Dance'd Haxorus swept through my whole team! :O And, of course, it didn't help that I was avidly trying to ditch my starter, though it proved too useful. OTL

Okay!

EEEEEEEEEEEEE.
Well, take your time! But, you know, you should try to post some fic in January! It's the start of a brand new year, after all~! <3

The completionist in me demanded I go for a medal, so I ended up catching 50 Magnemites. I never thought I'd have a use for Repeat balls up until now. XD

Did you happen to pick the otter too? I ended up teaching mine Blizzard, gave it a Wide Lens to hold on to, and made sure I had a spare Ether handy upon finding out Iris would be the last fight.

And of course now I discover Black Tower so I now have a whole new goal to grind at for now... XD

The goal is January, but I'm pretty sure there might be more birthday fic I'll inevitably have to rush. Haven't done two fics in one month in a while, but like you said, brand new year!

Shyaaaaaahhdskljdsldslaj wowwwww.
lol, same here! At the moment, all I have is Ultra Balls and Repeat Balls (okay, and the single Master Ball which I NEVER USE, FOR ANYTHING EVER oh my god I'm sure I'll mess up and use it on a Magnemite or something).

That sounds awesome! :O
No, I picked the pig. I always go for fire types (okay, no, I normally go for fire types because they evolve later and I like my pokemon cutesy) and ugh, I didn't like its final evolution. Or the typing. :/

I finished the first round of Black Tower in two days because I desperately wanted that Shiny Gible. These kind of "stages" seriously give me claustrophobia. And I'm not even a normally claustrophobic person...

Good luck good luck!
Someone should post other things so I don't feel so lonely. ;___;
