I certainly don't mind. I actually haven't been an actual physical member of the LJ-land for all that long either.

Your new community certainly sounds interesting.

Certainly will do. :-)

My God woman, you had me in tears and that really truly doesn't happen very often - howling with laughter yes, bawling no! This is so brilliant, you do know how to write angst!

I would pick C, I want to know how things got so messed up.

amygirl January 14 2007, 04:29:12 UTC

Awww, sorry Luv. Mind me asking which parts, just curious, you know, so I can do it again... *snerks*

Thanks, I have lots of practice writing angst. You wouldn't know it from my work in this fandom but in almost my other fandoms I mostly wrote angst, just haven't really had a chance to use it much yet since short fics lend themselves more towards fluff than angst and I've mostly been writing One-Off's.

Cool 1 vote for C. That's what I was leaning towards but we'll see what happens.

doylebaby January 14 2007, 04:52:40 UTC

Oh sure, particularly the part where Billy and Dom are telling them what happened and Billy breaks down. Writing it like this makes you realize what a devastating experience this also must have been for those who saw it happen.

You're excellent in angst, I love reading angst and trying to write it, hence Shattered Dreams, but I'm not really good at it. Romance somehow comes easier. *grins*

amygirl January 14 2007, 05:00:54 UTC

I'm really glad that part worked for you...that was the part I felt the most when I was writing it. Billy and Dom kind of wrote themselves into this story it wasn't my intention but there they are...

I've always been a little abnormal I guess...I find writing the angst and drama so much easier than fluff.
Not sure why, it's not like I've lead a particularly angsty life or anything.

I think part of it is that with fluff one walks a fine line between it being good fluff and being over the top while with angst there's a lot more room to breath before you have to worry about it going over the top and becoming melodramatic. That's why a lot of my fluff pieces have some angst content in them because for me it keeps them more grounded in reality. *shrugs*

Can I vote for A, B and C? :P
No? So I guess I chose C then, you've made me quite curious about their past!

amygirl January 14 2007, 04:48:50 UTC

LOL...they'll all get written eventually but for now you can only choose one...so C it is...'k 2 votes for C. :-)

Can I ask what Manga the image in your icon is from? I'm only vaguely familiar with works outside of Sailormoon (big time obsession with that though I've yet to get all the way through the Manga or the series since I get hung up on SuperS every bloody time I try to watch the series...darn pink haired moppet) but they all interest me. Love the artwork.

danichatterley January 14 2007, 18:59:29 UTC

Oh, it's Rose of Versailles! Classic, classic, classic! It's from the middle of the '70s, one of the first shoujos that made history. You just have to read it or see the anime, Ryoko Ikeda rocks! *lol*
I have to say it again: classic! Inspired many works, like Utena, SM and even Pokemon brings references to it *snorts*
I think you'll like it, if you like SM :)
Do a search on YouTube and you'll find some episodes there ;)

amygirl January 15 2007, 00:26:39 UTC

Ah yes...I've heard of that one when I was looking into my SM phase and doing Manga research. I might give a look over the next time I'm in a anime/manga mood. My last return into the SM verse was about a year ago when I was watching the Live Action version (which I loved despite the loveliness of the fight sequences -- gods I adore Japan). Now I feel the urge to pull out the Artbooks and perhaps try to get through SuperS so I can finally watch Stars.

I always joke that my second languae is Japanses because I've watched so much subtitled SM that I recognize a lot of words from it. :-)

giselleslash January 14 2007, 07:14:08 UTC

Gad zooks woman! You've killed me dead with this one...dead, dead, deadidy dead.

Dead.

Soooo many questions.

Soooo much angst.

Soooo happy you posted this ;P

This looks to be an amazing fic and I want more right now! But since you're asking for what to do next I assume I'm not going to get instant gratification which is really unfortunate because I like to be instantly gratified *snerk* Anyway, my choice in a perfect world would be all 3 right this moment but since I have to make a decision I'll go with 'C'

I'm still dead by the way.

Dead.

;P

amygirl January 14 2007, 14:31:44 UTC

Oooh...please share what you liked. Trying to get some ideas for things that work for people.

Nope...all three are not an option at this point but eventually... *snerks*

Another vote for C.

:-)

giselleslash January 14 2007, 17:42:01 UTC

You want me to be coherent enough to give you proper feedback?!?! Crazy lady!!! ;P ( ... )

amygirl January 14 2007, 18:10:24 UTC

Thank you... :-)

Wow...I did all that huh...well I hope people aren't dissapointed when I do the reveal of what happened in the past...'cause I'm not sure it's up to that level :-P Just kidding...maybe...

I will clarify that Sonia does know what happened in the past she's just...well Sonia... :-)

You're not a dork...thanks for playing along. I love getting into my readers thoughts everyonce in a while..

mistry89 January 14 2007, 08:05:41 UTC

C: Backstory :)
I love stories that begin (ok, we had AIB), with assumed knowledge, and then reveal it (as gradually as you like).
I also vote A and B.
What can I say, fandom has made me an indiscriminate voter!

Regardless, more from this 'verse please.
Cheers!

amygirl January 14 2007, 14:35:30 UTC

Yeah, I kind of like those too because they're more realstic. I mean in real life people don't go into a siutation where there's a lot of history and have a 3 page exposition sesssion. That's necessary for a fanfic or a movie or something but I figured since I can literally go back and write what happens I can keep the exposition to a minimum.

Okay...another vote for C :-)
