This time last year I made two separate "output for the past year" posts, but my fanfiction was so sporadic in 2008 that it boils down to "click on my 30 Kisses tag and look at the last five entries". (That's five Haru/Rin fics, ranging from ~700-6000 words; two are set during the series, two are after the main events of the series, and one is post ( Read more... )

For one of the 20_Facts items, I needed to do some age calculation, and wound up being rather more thorough than necessary. What I *think* I've got here is a detailed breakdown of how old each member of the 12shi is for their respective dances, going back until the Mabudachi boys are born and forward until this round of the cycle ends. Anyone want to ( Read more... )

Have seen scans for ch. 121. Have been scared (and then hopeful, and then tentatively smiling, and then SCARED ALL OVER AGAIN!). ;_; Blame will be misplaced, and it's rather heartbreaking (despite the part of me that says "karma!").

Useful reaction later, when there's some idea what they're saying.

Oh--and I saw the last ep. of ( Read more... )

As usual, reading a new translation gives me a different impression of a few aspects of these chapters. I noticed two instances of new artwork being added for the tankuban--did anyone catch any more? ( Just may contain spoilers, oddly )

I can't remember the last time I spent so much time reading fanfiction. Having Fruits Basket as my primary fandom has kind of left me in the position of throwing my hands up and ignoring the fanfic aspect until a story is brought to my attention (or someone I know writes something, and thank heaven for a literate, creative circle of friends in the ( Read more... )

Wrote this right after Furuba 114 came out, and it's one big spoiler for my favorite scene in the chapter (and also for chapters 78/79). My second-ever attempt at Kagura's POV. I almost guarantee that the Kagura nut on the forums would hate it. And the thought makes me oddly happy. Is it awful that I want to post it there just to see what she ( Read more... )

Rumor has it that Haru hats were seen at Anime Expo. This leads me to suspect that they'll be at Otakon too . . . Hope pics show up so I can see if it's scary or something I want.

The plan: to spend the next hour or so smoothing the lines between what was written recently and what's older (my patchwork style always makes that smoothing a high priority--if anyone can see the fracture between months-old and days-old material, I'm not doing my job). Started with The Beekeeper in the rotation, and after about one track of that ( Read more... )

I've been out of bed for about an hour, and all I've figured out is that I'm having a "food sucks so much that there's nothing I can deal with eating and I'm not hungry anyway" day. So blah. But before I got out of bed, I curled up and read more of Tori's Piece By Piece book (the title comes, I assume, from the song "Datura", which isn't one I've ( Read more... )

Really. Fandom is weird enough from the outside, but being inside it is strange too. Wouldn't trade the things I love so much, though, and the good side of fandom is sharing the love, right? Or something.
