So this is what happens when I have four three stories to write, I start doing essays in a fandom I don't have anything due for. Long possibly rambly meta about Gojyo and Sanzo follows. Pictures, including terrible MS paint illustrations. Y'all been warned ( Read more... )

The final essay on Sanzo's quantum virginity is up. Please comment over there if you have something to say, 'cause I am lazy and want my discussion in one place.

Also, this means:

You know what I love? Looking back and realizing oh yes, you really did just put AU!Jiroshin in charge of babysitting tiny!Goku and ickle!Sanzo. Kory is ten and would shoot me a Glare of Death for implying that he is in any way ickle.

Ask me a question about one of my fics -- characters, plot, what happened before or after, what the writing process was like, what scenes I cut or changed, other ways the fic could have gone, relevant bits of backstory/headcanon/worldbuilding, what a certain line or scene meant or was in reference to, what ( Read more... )

Today is not that day. On the upside, my victim lucky mixer for apocabigbang now has over 11K of fic to plow through. And I think I'm going to post a Weiss story tomorrow that's essentially been finished for months 'cause it's close the fuck enough.

If you're thinking of signing up for Remix and you write Naruto, chime in over here, please! (As long as you ( Read more... )
