Writing and Fangirl...ness (with a side of avoidance)
Well...because the other day saw a three-hour play almost until midnight, I fell asleep yesterday. Because of that, I didn't get on the computer until around dinner time, which is 7:00 for our house. And I'm obsessed with the internet, if there's a computer I have to be on it (which is what I'm doing right now, hogging the study lab's computer. Ha!). I also love watching AMVs, because they're awesome! And they're all Yu-gi-oh/Seto related so...even awesomer.
Then I wanted pics for this account, so I just typed in Yu-gi-oh in the interests and came across a place with anime icons. Insert fangirl mode: I WENT CRAZY! Seriously, I haven't fangirled that many times in one day, and with so much energy too! I fell in love with every single Seto icon I came across--where he LOOKS SO CUTE!--and stole and put them here. (Not the pic for this entry, that came from my account on Photobucket.)
And because of that...I pretty much forgot about my homework. I got called a sinner in class today. Heh. But I wasn't alone so it didn't bother me that much. So now I have more homework because I was half-avoiding it, and because of my fangirl obsessions. Heh...great. It's all rather amusing...
I'm also still wriitng my Seto fanfic, though I still think this chapter is going too long... I'm always worred about that. That and keeping the characters IN CHARACTER. That's my biggest pet peeve with the general population of fanfics, the character are too different from what they are in the series. I know in fanfics we're putting them in situation with characters and stuff that wasn't in the fandom and you can't predict exactly how they will react and stuff.
But let's take for instance...Kaiba. (Wow, who didn't see that coming?) You know him, arrogant. Selfish. Giant ego. You know that right? He generally sees the general public as...beneath him. He's higher than them.
Now, can you see that same person...falling in love at first sight or gushing over a girl? The correct answer is "NO!" contestants. That's what they make him do in some fics I've come across and...it frustrates me and almost makes me want to shake the author and make them see the light...sort of speak.
I have to write the play, which I'm having trouble getting together, and a rewrite this weekend. And finish up my third chapter. Yes, I'm only on the third chapter.
I. Am. A. Slow. Ass. Writer, dammit.
I don't like it, I wish I was faster but I think about it too much and my perfectionism comes in. I have to make it right, as right I can get it now while I'm writing. I know I can fix it in editing/revising but...It must be perfect! I'm not a total perfectionist...but I have tendencies...
