I'll sign up too, even though I have no inspiration at the moment. Hopefully I'll get some between now and November. =^ᴗ^=

[ederyn]

Actually, I may have some inspiration now. I'm thinking I'll cross Gravi with Pet Shop of Horrors, and have Tohma or someone buy a pet that ends up killing someone. I just haven't worked out the angle yet. *thinks and thinks*

[glenavera]

Pet Shop of Horrors... I've read those a while ago and really liked it. Suddenly I've just this old memory in my head: Little Shop of Horrors. I've seen the movie with Rick Moranis several years ago and can just see K going all BAMF on the plant^^

I'm not sure if I'll cross Gravi with Zetsuai or Supernatural. Both things are possible because in Zetsuai there's a rock star Tohma might want to employ and regarding Supernatural I so can see Tohma killing a monster and saving K in the process... Hopefully I will come up with something interesting for November.

[ederyn]

Hee! I can picture K blasting the plant too! With a cigarette in the other hand.

You know, I bet Pet Shop of Horrors was a ripoff of Little Shop of Horrors. The basic plots are similar, except one's a florist and one's a pet store. In any case, I'm really looking forward to November to see what you come up with! Thank goodness we've got plenty of time to think about these, eh? And if we end up doing Pet Shop and Supernatural, we'll definitely have a lot of inspiration come October and Halloween. Heh. =^ᴗ^=

[glenavera]

What a wonderful mental image... K with a cigarette in one hand and the other holding a still smoking gun, while Tohma is clinging to his arm... and in front of them are the this smoldering remains of the plant or pet or whatever *rofl* But I think you might be right with suspecting that Pet Shop of Horrors is just a ripoff of the movie. There are so many similarities.

Well, whatever you come up with I'm already excited to read it. Can't wait. *starts counting the days*

I just remembered that K's real name is Claude Winchester. And the main characters in Supernatural are Sam and Dean Winchester. Coincidence...? Maybe it's a sign...

[ederyn]

Zomg, I forgot that! Sam and Dean, and their long lost brother Claude! Or maybe he's their cousin. Hee! Either way, you're right; it's definitely an omen. You were meant to write this fic. It was ordained by fate from the beginning of time. Or at least from the beginning of the pilot episode in the first season. I too am looking forward to Tohma's birthday! It should be very interesting, to say the least. =^ᴗ^=

[glenavera]

I think I just got hit with an idea... Now all I have to do is to write it down before it vanishes into thin air. Gah. I haven't written anything for months and feel absolutely empty. Do you think one can forget how to write or lose any talent that might have been there? *feels depressed and stupid*

[ederyn]

Nope! It's just my humble opinion, but I think your talent increases even if you just you read other people's books and don't write anything yourself. You also gain more worldly experience every day just being alive. However, as you do, you become more critical of your own work, so you may feel stupid at times when you're actually growing as a writer. Writing is so easy in the beginning, because one generally doesn't have very high personal standards at first. But as time goes by, you become more determined to write something brilliant rather than just something quick and easy, and so it becomes harder to live up to your own standards. You've become an awesome writer, Leya! So now it's harder to top the last thing you wrote, and thus it's hard to start writing something new due to fear of failure. But you can do it! Assuming this is the problem

[glenavera]

Wow. This was exactly what I needed right now. I'm definitely feeling better now. Trying to work out how to top the last story I've written is part of the problem. The other part is that I seem to be unable to kick my weaker self in his lazy... *coughs* And of course there's the knowledge that there are several people I promised a story but until now I didn't even start writing them because I once again got lost in a fandom (still Sherlock by the way). But I think it'll settle soon now that I found my favourite character to torture^^

[ederyn]

Sorry I disappeared, but I lost internet service. Grrrrr. Fortunately my parents have dialup, although they live an hour away from me. Waaaaah! Anyway, I'm here for now, and I'm starting on my ficcie.

Ooooh, I know what it's like to feel lazy in the summer. Especially when RL is giving you a headache. *pets* I'm so glad Autumn is coming. I know, you promised people fics and now that feels like homework, eh? Been there! Hee! *pets more* But fantastychnyj that you're getting your torture on. I know, isn't it great to vent through fanfic? =^ᴗ^=

Nothing wrong with Sherlock! You could always crossover with that one instead of Supernatural. Or write a drabble for both...?

[glenavera]

Losing internet service sucks. Hopefully you'll soon have everything fixed.

I know, isn't it great to vent through fanfic? Well, at least it's better than doing the things I'm writing about in RL... >_< Maybe there will be a way to cross Sherlock with Sherlock seeing that in the series there is a character that's just as manipulative and (seemingly) cold but deep inside caring for his little brother (who dispises him deeply for a reason we don't know anything about). He keeps taps on him, monitoring his movements through the city and would do everything for him. Mycroft even kidnaps the people his brother gets near to question them about their intentions and baiting them to pay them for spying on his little brother. *ponders* The more I think about it the more it really sounds like Gravi... Maybe I can bring both my favourites (Tohma and Mycroft) together in a fic, seeing that Tohma basically owns Japan and Mycroft Great Britain...

Have you already started working on your story? My brain's still too empty to cooperate.

[ederyn]

I started, but didn't get far. Haven't given up, though. I'll keep plugging away at it until November. =^ᴗ^=

Oooh, Sherlock does sound a lot like Gravi! I've never seen it, but it sure sounds like Eiri and Tohma. I see from Wikipedia they're going to produce new episodes in 2013. That's an interesting idea to bring Sherlock and Watson into the modern day, although I always liked how Sherlock Holmes was ahead of his time in the Victorian era. I sure hope you get some inspiration eventually; it would make an awesometastical story.

[glenavera]

*sproing* *sproing* *sproing* I actually have an idea for my x-over. Now all I have to do is to write it. *sproing* I can' wait to see what they will come up with in the new season. The last one ended with a rather bad cliffhanger. I'm so relieved that there are at least a few sparks firing up my brain ever now and then. Maybe I can even fit something in there like Tohma's bowler hat and Mycroft's umbrella (his trademark).

I'm actually itching to start writing... *is happy*

[ederyn]

Hurrah! I knew you'd get hit with something if you just gave it time. Gee, I didn't even think about the bowler hat connection. Tohma could totally do the Victorian era. This should be one seriously gripping fic! *pictures you bouncing around the room from loveseat to sofa*

[glenavera]

Dear heavens what a terrible week. *sigh* Excuse me but I need to ramble and that's easier to take care of in German. Das war mal wieder absolut typisch. Nicht kommunizieren, aber hinterher beleidigt sein. Ja klar. Super. Vielen Dank auch. Ich hab dermaßen die Schnauze voll manchmal. Wie kann man nur so kindisch sein???? Und da sagt man immer Frauen wären zickig. Männer sind tausendmal schlimmer.

So. Thank you for your patience. I just needed to get this out of my system. I'm so happy that I'm slowly sliding back into writing mood. And Tohma would be perfect for the Victorian era. But my story will be set in modern times. And in complete darkness ^^

[ederyn]

Oooh, are you taking them to Unsicht-Bar? =^ᴗ^= You've got me seriously curious now. D'oh! *gets impatient for November to get here*

Let's see...according to Google Translate, that lined out part says:

That was again absolutely typical. Not communicate, but afterwards offended. Yes, of course. Super. Thanks a lot. I'm so sick of it sometimes. How can one be so childish?? And as they always say women are bitchy. Men are a thousand times worse.

Was Google even close? Sounds like you're having serious man trouble! This is why God created crowbars. One good smack on the head and they apologize and then bring you flowers. *pets and pets* Wow, between the broken nose and the significant other, you're really having a bad month! What you need is a tub of ice cream and some pizza. Maybe a bottle of tequila wouldn't hurt either. *hunts around for that box of Scooby snacks too*
