hello, I'm Hazy, Been a long time lurker and fan of your writing. I'm so glad You are still writing News Fic!.

Oh Ryos life is Hard even though he generally wins at life... the long suffering-ness of his group members antics.

I used to lurk in LJ for fanfics and fandom flail, only started leaving comments on fic and joining fandom discusssions a little while ago. I'm been going back and commenting on some journals for authors of Fics i loved. Would it be ok if I add you as a friend on LJ? I dont post much (anything as of it) on my own journal, so far only been using it to comment. Would like it if I could keep track of new entries and save some to memories.

Kind of a belated comments about all your other News Fics which I have read all of a long time go when I first started following News and only lurk on LJ. Sorry I havent commented on it until now, They are all amazing!

Going to comment on them in this post ^^

I really love your Cracky JE verse fic, the way you write the characters and wonderful! Snarky badass Ryo!! Pi almost like Kenken in Standup (and Akira from the few clips I've seen of Nobuta), Tegod!slut!Tego, Dumb and dumber Pin! pretentious yet fail!shige, Koyamama, MassuGouza OTP!

The one where they are all show dogs!! The breeds you picked fit so well!! Kusano's cheekiness and eyes or something is so perfect as a Shiba inu, thats how I pictured he would look like before I looked up what that breed looks lile, heh same for Massus too! Pomerian Tego and Golden Retriever Yamapi! ah Shige fail! Its just so cute story, totally full of fluff and happy feelings.

Heh I read your fic before I knew anything about Kattun, your fic have colored the way I see them when I starting looking them up (which makes them so much more interesting). Teeheehee...In the back of my head they'll always be "fantastically whorish", dysfunctional and Johnny's sweethearts. The one where News lose their underwear collectively is Gold!

Your Government AU will forever be one of the favorite fics, I'm sure part of the reason I liked News so much when I got into them was due to this fic. The first I'm i read it I marathoned it through the whole night. The dynanics and parallels to Canon happenings, the characters fits so well in those roles! the bonds and friendship! (how I love your RyoUchi angst/friendship(or more)). The writing is so strong and engaging, The incredible/minimalist action sequences, the heartbreaky angst. Its amazing through multiple repeated readings. I'm so hooked and wish there were more and more of this universe! Arashi and Eito Spinoffs, Uchi's solo cons and Question, Jins official international career, recent happenings with Ryo and Yamapi leaving.

Theres heaps more of the shorter fics which rocked just as much. The one about the times Kattun members wanted to join News!, Ryo's parents didnt hug him as a kid!, the one where Ryo got tall!, the one where tegoshi finally wins Ryo over (Tegoshi factor) and the one of Uchi's return at countdown (I downloaded the concert for that moment). ahh..ILUSM. But I'll stop here for now. Thank you so much for your of your writing you've shared :)

Oh yay, I'm really flattered you came out of lurking to comment! It was a great thing to come back from my vacation and see!

[kiimiko]

Yay, thats great! ah, I just noticed my comment is full of random typos and grammatical errors, Sorry about that,I was typing kind of frantically.

[peroxidepest17]

No problem! It happens to me all the time.

[kiimiko]

hello again. Its strange, somehow its the first time I came across your non fic LJ: peroxidepest17 just now. You mentioned that you deleted your Ryo and Yamapi folders in one of your latest posts? I dont know, it felt really sad to hear that. Um, May I ask why? how you feel about that news? Is it something like you've lost respect/interest for the two of them and will only follow new 4 member News from now on? Sorry, I dont mean to be pushy or prying if its not something you want to talk about.

I guess I felt sad mostly because I really love the way you write Ryo and Pi and News. Maybe it's a bit like finding out my favorite writers wont be writing my favorite characters/universes in the future. Its the first time seeing someone I follow drop out of a mutual interest or fandom in real time like this. I mean, I've been reading lots of old fic and posts from years and years ago, it's more than likely that many of those people have left the fandom and wont be updating or writing anything new.

Sorry, I kind of ranted on, not really being able to explain properly. I'm just curious and wanted to understand about what you thought about Ryo and Pi and their decision, and the new News, if its something you dont mind talking about.

Thank you for sharing your writing. I'll read over your old fic fondly, like I do with old video clips of 8nin and 6-nin News. Ah, the none of the members that I was originally drawn to the most are in news anymore, Uchi and Kusano, now Ryo and Pi too. I wish for the best for all of the members and hope they'll all do well.

[peroxidepest17]

I felt mostly betrayed by Ryo but I kind of expected it from Pi (maybe because I never really liked him outside of NEWS?). But now that he won't be in NEWS I definitely won't be following him separately especially since I never have in his solo activities. I also don't particularly care for K8 so I guess I won't be following Ryo in that but I might look in from time to time on his solo stuff. I'm not sure yet.

[kiimiko]

oh, I see. Thank you for letting me know. I know some people are sensitive about it. I was just curious, I've seen lots of comments from people which are K8 fans too, Yamapi fans, Ryo fans and fans that feel betrayed by Yamapi as well. Its interesting to hear about the different ways people have felt and reacted to it. Hope it'll mean more activity for News soon, I'll miss Ryopi and 6nin News though.
