Hello
I have no special event to speak of. I just wanted to say 'hello' and all that. This is my first time here and well... I guess I'm just trying to figure it all out.
I'm a student who has a job and is currently writing 3 Inuyasha fanfics. Does anyone feel I may be spreading myself to thin? Hm. I'm not sure... on one story I'm suffering from writer's block, on the other I can feel the ending coming closer, and on the last I already KNOW the end, but am having trouble making it final. Does that make any sense? Yet, I can't explain it any better then that.
I don't have much time to type at the moment... actually this is the first time I've gotten to type in a couple of days... so I am doing this and writing the next chapter to A Second Chance at Love. Its surprisingly not that difficult.
And while, I'm dealing with that, I have a million other ideas for stories running around in my head causing confusion and mayhem where ever they go, but I can't wait to get started on them. But, I can't do that now, because I made a ridiculous promise to myself that I would not start a new story until I finished one of the ones in progress.... (for shame!!) I will stick to my promise though... but, should I become a raving lunatic... I have no one to blame, but myself... though I will be the LAST person that I blame, of course.
I have recently discovered what SLASH means in the world fanfiction. A person, who shall remain anonymous, sent me an e-mail asking me to write a slash story dealing with Inuyasha and Mirouku... and I, playing the role of the ignorant author, was about to say "alright", but I decided to ask a friend of mine to explain to me what I was on the verge of agreeing to, before agreeing! Which was a good thing!!
She laughed at me, called me an idiot, and then slowly explained to me what 'slash' meant in this quietly slow voice as if she were talking to a confused 3 year old. It was all sort of humiliating and probably quite embarrassing had anyone been there to witness it. And if I had known she was going to milk the moment for all it was worth I would have never gone to her in the first place... She is still laughing about it today, and that was over 2 weeks ago!! ( I tell you... I need new friends! *_*)
But, I digress... Suffice to say, I had to refuse writing the story and before any of you decide to persecute me or label me 'prejudice', know that it had nothing to do with that. I have nothing against 'slash' fanfiction. I actually enjoyed reading some that I've read. My favorite 'slash' pairing would be Draco/Harry in Harry Potter. And though this is true, I don't believe I could WRITE a story dealing with Inu/Mirouku. Theres just NO WAY that monk would be interested in MEN. I don't care how cute.... its ironic enough that hes a MONK! So, because of this I can not make a story dealing with this pairing...
Well, now that I've shared that bit of interest... I must go and type those chapters that many are waiting on... talk to you later.
