I did not intend on this fic ever seeing the light of day, but in a pinch, you use what you've got, and I finished it up instead ( Read more... )

Aw~ That was amazing! I was literally on the edge of my seat. You may have thought it was cliche but I thought it was done perfectly and so what I was looking for in a prompt. The last little bit just had me. I knew he was doing it for Usopp but seeing him just basically say it...just awesome. Thank you so much.

It's not so much that I thought it was cliche, as I worried it was. I am SO GLAD you liked this; I have literally been worried all day about posting it, so your comment is SUCH a relief. I'm glad it turned out the way you wanted, too; I was afraid I'd strayed too far from the 'smut or fluff' guidelines for the request. THANK YOU. ^_^ *can relax about it, now*

I might have to write you Zoro's side of it later, was thinking [very vaguely] about doing the companion and calling it 'tribulations' (it seemed to fit), because I KNOW his motivations the whole way through this, but I couldn't outright state them, because it's basically Usopp's POV, and he wouldn't know. Hmm. Might actually do it, now. ;)

I could use more cliches like this, quite frankly. This was so well done. Profound yet understated. Thanks.

Oh wow, that was awesomesauce :D I was on the edge of my seat the whole time!

"If you manage to kill me, you'll have to become the best swordsman in the world for me. With my swords. I made a promise..."

. . . *friggin well BRICKED by a plot bunny* can I write that? Please?

Why thank you~ ^_^ I was really worried about posting it, so it helps a lot to hear you liked it. ;)

"If you manage to kill me, you'll have to become the best swordsman in the world for me. With my swords. I made a promise..."

So, here's the funny thing; that concept? Is totally the only reason I didn't delete this ages ago (was embarrassed with it). Bit me pretty hard too (would you believe I already have a half-done variation on my pc?). I've got NO problem with competition, though, so go for it - just give me a nod when you write it, so people don't think I stole your idea, since lord knows I'll probably take longer than you finishing it! LOL I'm seriously curious to see how yours would turn out; mine is easily as melodramatic as the above tripe. ^_^;;

(*LOLing at icon*)

YAY~ :D Thank you~! To be honest, the bunny was biting me so hard I wrote some up last night. I haven't been bitting by a One Piece bunny for ages, so I wanted to take the chance you were going to say yes and start writing :D And don't worry, I always give credit where credit's due.

*wants a speek at that variation*

Haha, no worries; I know what plot bunnies can do to you; you should see the effect my husband has on me - dear lord, he spews plot bunnies at me, just to see me scramble, I swear. (He's given me some pretty awesome ideas along with the crack, though, so I'll forgive him ;)

I'm inclined to say 'show me yours and I'll show you mine' (with or without the obligatory eyebrow waggle ;), but I've gotta put some polish on what I've got so far before I let anyone see it... o_O;; My writing process is not in any way linear or easy to follow; I'm pretty haphazard until I've got a finished product. (I'm pretty haphazard AFTER I have a finished product, too. lol)

Lets see about a beta-trade with each other in a week or so, though; see if we've both got enough to make any sense of. ;) It'll give me a reason to keep on it, in any case; I get distracted so eas- ooh, shiny!
