Some random fanfic recs. Because I can.

Hello, ladies,
today I’m going to pimp some fics, and namely - khr_undercover participants.
For me personally, khr_undercover - a great opportunity to write and read something beyond your usual range of interests. Heck, I have written (yes, hai thar, random self-pimping) angsty Shouichi-centric gen for it in previous round! Granted, it had all ( Read more... )

i'm sick in the head, 8059, recs, reborn, voice!, random anime stuff

I haven't read any of the khr_undercover fics yet, but I have it bookmarked and ready for reading once I finally make it to my Thanksgiving break and have time to stuff myself with fic. I appreciate the recommendations though, especially on the gen ones.

To the voice post!:
- I think I pronounce Takeshi with the accent on the first syllable. I think we pronounce Gokudera the same way though.
- I totally agree that Sasagawa is such a good name. I don't know if I'd call it manly, but it just has a fun sound to it. XD
- I prefer to use Torikabuto. I'm guessing Aconite/Wolfsbane is just a translation of it...?

I very rarely say the names aloud as well, so I've never been too embarrassed by my horrible pronunciation. I imagine that they're very wrong and horrifyingly American. XD I don't really ever watch the anime either, so I don't even have that to reference when it comes to pronouncing things.

late reply is late. ehehe

Whoa, have a good reading time! \o/ BTW, when is Thanksgiving day in USA? / lame. We just don’t celebrate it here. Oh, and gen.. what can I say, gen definitely needs more attention. One of these days I’ll pull myself together and make some gen!fanfic recs for various characters. There won’t be much, but still.
Hehe, the voice question was ultimately illogical, but I’m glad that you tried to explain the differences to me. \o/
And you miss nothing by not watching the anime. Maybe few pairing baits, but that’s all. The animation makes me snort all the time. Eww.

It's the last Thursday of November, so in this year's case, a week from tomorrow on the 26th. I'm soooo looking forward to it. No school and lots of yummy food. :D

I would very much appreciate that gen!fic reclist if you ever get around to it. I don't read enough of it.

Ahahahaahaha Jaimie <333
I kept struggling so hard to explain it in writing too, and ended making a voice post ahahah \o/
Vampires.
Yeah.
Totally agree with about Ann Rice, but all other vampy crap stuff… I dunno, why people find it so attractive. So pompous, just eww.
Ahaha, on the weekend a friend invited me to go see Twilight: The New Dawn or whatever this shit is called in the movies. My freak out was epic, shishishi. I honestly have read the book, and through I’m not going to choke my spit, proving people the utter lameness of it (pfff, there are a lot of other volunteers around there, cough that chick you’ve sporked cough), it wasn’t… so well written. Yeah. I’m so diplomatic.
Oh, about cheesy romance - the same hereeeee. The moment the atmosphere shifts to reveal pink hearts and lace flowing around, I start feeling that nagging gagging reflex inside. What’s the point of romance, if it’s not believable
BTW, have you read this fic after all?
Yay for replying three days later. \o/

YOUR ICON LOL.

Vampires piss me off. XD Ever since Twilight came out, ALL the vampire novels coming out have been worse than shit. I TRIED reading a couple and ended up wanting to rip my hair out. XD

AGGGGHHHH my friends keep asking me if I want to go see that new Twilight shit movie and I KEEP TELLING THEM that I don't LIKE Twilight. And they don't understand WHY. /facepalm So I have to try and explain WHY IT'S SO TERRIBLE and I end up going on forever, but it's so hard to sway a Twilight fan.
At least my English teacher understands. >>'

I can stand SOME romance, but... when it gets to the point where it's like "YOU ARE MY ONE TRUE LOVE~~~ /sparkle" then it just feels like shojou manga. I-I don't read much shojou. OTL

I TRIED reading that fic. XD;; But I couldn't get past the second chapter, idk. It was, like... 18k and I don't have the attention span to read it currently. /falls over

don’t tell me.. don’t tell me you’ve started reading Reborn fanfiction.
Are you in the fandom now?
And I thought I don’t believe in miracles

That would be awesome! If you will decide to dive into the fandom, just pm me or something, and I will send you much more recs. Top ten 8059/5980 fics bias FTW ; a shitload of great 8059 fic in general, other pairings, gen. Pics, doujins, whatever you want. \o/

Aw, have I said how much I love that you post this awesome fictions links, like in the ship manifesto? 'Cause I do... <333

I LOVED the first one, "Dive", though I was FFFFFFFFFF MOAR CHAPS NOW at the end, yet I though that more chapters would "break the spell" of the fic... So contradicting and AWESOME, I loved... ;_;

"Sparrow: Old World Passeridae" was good, but I was a little sad for not having Xanxus beating Byakuran to a pulp... It was quite good though, so I can hold my little selfish dream to another fiction... *blow tissue*

The fifth one, well, I'm actually wearing a shirt that says "Forget the Prince, I want a Vampire" xDDDDDD but I agree that the subject is quite worn out... It usually ends at the cheezy side of the Force, wich is quite disappointing, since the result is usually very blah, even to the most sensitive person in the world... But I liked this fic, I didn't bother to look up the gaelic stuff 'cause I'm the laziest person in the universe orz so I got pretty confused with some dialogues... I kinda liked, but the ( ... )

Oh, thank you so much for the praise, dear <33333
You like my links? You know what, I have a list with top ten 8059!fanfictions, complete with my comments and links. Basically, these ten are essential to read, if you are in the fandom, IMO. It’s sitting complete on my PC, but I’m not ready to upload it publically, since it’s so strictly subjective. However, I’m willing to pm it to you, if you want)))
Ahh, the vampire!fic. I kind of liked it too, but I’m still unsure about it. Gaelic stuff got me so irritated, actually, completed by bitingbitingbiting!R59 scene.
Oh, I actually happen to know about your accents \o/ You sure have to pronounce their names in very adorable way. Besides, I think that your language is really, really beautiful-sounding /jealous
SENPAI FTW!!!!
see ya too, hun!

kchanlp November 19 2009, 02:52:18 UTC
Oh please do! I would love to read more and to know of your comments about these fictions! <333

I totally blocked my brain at the biting³³³!R59 scene... I'm starting to suspect I've developed some kind of 8059-filter, hmmm. >=0~

Aw, you like portuguese? That's so rare! =3

And senpai should get more love, hunf! >( From the anime crew, from Amano... I'm still disappointed with the calendars... so little senpai in it. ;_;

See u hun!
Bye-bee~ xoxo

I’m always glad to share when I have time, dear! \o/
First Day Stomach Jitters made me laugh so hard! At first time I nearly skipped it, but started reading and was immediately drawn to it. When all this horde of punks gets together and starts being a bunch or dorks they truly are, that’s just precious. I also got the impression that the author is an insider to broadcasting stuff.
Hehehe, for me pronunciation also depends on language - but in Russian everything sounds so lame, besides, I never have spoken about Reborn with anybody))) So, sticking to English variant.
No, we don’t have any particular way to pronounce words in Russian - the accent or stress falls onto a different syllable in every word. All in all, Russian is rather complicated for non-native speakers in terms of pronunciation. We have a very dry manner to pronounce words, and a lot of “sch”, “ch”, “sch`” sounds in it, and sometimes truly epic conglomerations of consonants.
But I like your language to much <3333 It’s so pleasant to listen too, and smooth, and sexy. I ( ... )
