Collecting my thoughts
The thing about internet life that I like is that it does come with a pause button of sorts. Sometimes it's life making me push that pause button. Other times, it's the cable company, who still has yet to fully fix ongoing connection problems. (I'm thinking about switching back to DSL). And sometimes it's a combination of both. I'm behind on replies again, though. T__T
And even more embarrassing ... errr ... I know I owe people things. I have it in the back of my head that I really should be writing something for quite a few people. I know I owe dumbimps something really awesome for the absolutely incredible fanart she drew me. <3 It makes me want to write more, even though I think that would be a very. bad. thing.
Because a picture is so much better than any of my words. Hikaru and Akira. Standing back to back. Ninja-ing. *Drools*
And Touya Akira as a ninja ... I confess. Writing Touya as a ninja is really. really. fun. If a bit scary. I'd imagine he'd be just as efficient as Sasuke. Only ... less angsty and without the strange snake fixation.
*grovels and bows down to dumbimps* Name your price. Because you are very awesome, and I don't know how to thank you. XD Touya Akira still makes me squee very loud.
I also think I owe Tari something. Cause dude, I've been owing you stuff ever since I started this journal, and if there's anyone I don't mind being in debt to, it's definitely you. So um. Do I owe you something? *tilts head* Cause I can't remember, and if you don't poke me, porn or something worse might result in your honor. XD
I also owe pastles a good beta and an apology fic in a shared fandom of her choice. Because I suck that much. T___T. Same with northarrow. Though T-chan, if you want, I'll write in something else other than the primary two fandoms. XD (Cause hehe, I think you and hima-d would like a break from the neverending igo boys and the demon book holders).
I am very scatterbrained on my journal and in internet fandom because I can't afford to be in my real life. So honestly ... if I owe you something, this is the time to poke me. XD It's been an insanely productive time and while they haven't been stellar, the drabbles have been coming! XD
I know I owe blind_go the rest of Better Days. Which is being worked on, piece by piece. I don't think anyone wants to read it right now; it's in a cliffhanger spot, and while I know how it ends I don't particularly think people would like where it'll end at the moment if I post it. *nods*
I've been reading in a totally new fandom since I've started writing gazillion Hikago pieces, mainly because when I'm writing Hikago, I'm pretty much on Hikago ficban until I run out of steam. This works to some extent, since having a dangle carrot of Hikago fiction means I really do write faster and more sharply.
It's not a fandom I'm totally familiar with, and to tell the truth, I have no idea about canon. But it does satisfy a certain ah ... craving if you will. And it's kinda amusing in some ways.
Though I have to ask: What is it with all the kidlet fics? Okay, I'll admit I'm very petty about some things as a reader ... I really do not like original children begin given to canon character. I mean, it's not exactly a squick or anything nor do I think it's morally wrong or that even the fic is intrinsically bad -- it's purely personal opinion.
I know I've ranted on this before (and mostly revolving around the Sentinel fandom, since ... wow. Blair and Jim procreate a lot for two guys) so I'm not going to rehash it.
I have no clue while I'm really not into reading about the possible next generation of my favorite canon characters? I can't stand it in cannon either. 0_o Like, was very not happy it when Scully and Mulder got the kidlet. Not very fond of the cannon kidlet Xena had.
If canon starts with the kidlet in question, I don't mind. I think it has to do with how throing a child/baby into a relationship ultimately changes the dynamics in any show (as it does in real life.)
The story immediately revolves about the child because it has to -- the character realizes his or her own life isn't the only thing that's most important now. Realistically, as a new parent, it's the child that comes first, because a child depends wholly on them for survival (both physically and emotionally).
It's almost an easy and quick way to add some sort of depth and generate instant storylines. (From oh no!angst baby gets kidnapped to hee!watch us scramble and learn how to cope with a baby -- this is especially true if the two characters in question are men. There shall be a scene with a diaper. It's almost like the eighth unbreakable law in fandom physics. Two men plus baby equals hilarious scene with diapers.)
But as a fanfic reader, I'm a greedy little monster. I came to read about the characters I like interacting with each other ... not some new baby. Though when I put it that way, I feel like the jealous sibling who doesn't like baby and really wishes it'd go back wherever it came from because it should be about what *I* want. Eh well.
As usual, as soon as I rant, the hypocritical ideas come to write a kidlet fic for Hikaru. I'll have to admit though, the few Hikago fanfics I've read that give Hikaru and Akira kids have done it remarkably well, and in a way I like. So yeah, I guess it really depends on the fandom.
And I also have to admit that the kidlet fics in other fandoms can be written very well too. They're often done by very popular authors who have other stories that I adore and love. It's usually happens in the middle of a long series too. *shrugs* Things will be going along well, and then suddenly, the kids show up. *tilts head*
Meru. I just think I'm getting old and cranky. *nods* But four fics in a row with kidlets ... *sigh*
Perhaps some chocolate shall help. XD
