Samurai Seven, "Ritual," Kanbei/Shichiroji, R

[mistr3ssquickly]

Ah, another fic for laurazel, because her art inspires me in a way nothing else seems to, these days. Seriously, I sit here and try to write other things, then go surfing through her work and BAM, fic happens

This was really beautiful. I love it alot, it's just so quiet and beautiful. Mmmm, I loved it! <3

^_^ Samurai's are fun, especially like this.

I'm so glad you liked the fic, hon. Samurai are truly beautiful people, if you look at their history from a certain perspective. From another ... not so lovely.

Did you look at the drawing too?

Thanks for reading, dear! ♥

Wow. Sensual and sweet and just lovely.

[mistr3ssquickly]

Thanks, babe. I dunno why, but when I get stuck on FMA stuff, S7 seems to come easily.

Funny, that. Thanks for reading!

I like very much- it goes quite well with zel's work without being completely subservient to it.

Very smooth and sensual, good sense of place and time.

I'm so glad you liked it, hon. I certainly had beautiful inspiration.

Thanks for reading! ♥

Darling, I'm speechless again...
What can I say if not that you make me really happy everytime?
This fiction is gorgeous!
Before all I want to express my emotion to know that my humble art is inspiring for you... believe me if I say that the feeling is mutual!
You are feeding my KanShichi need! ^_^
The more you are inspired from my artworks to write the more I'm inspired from your fanfictions to draw... It's a marvellous sensation!
I'd really love to write a lot about the beauty of your works and my joy when I read them, but my english is not helpful.
I'd love to write an entire page of "Thanks" but seems too childish and stupid!
So I'll say something that I feel...
I love you! <3<3<3<3<3<3<3<3

*hugs tight* It's good to know that you enjoy my writing, hon, because my love of your art is embarrassing. You wouldn't believe how many people I've pimped your work to, since I found it.

Seems like a good system to have, you inspiring me, then me inspiring you. We could have something good going on here! ♥ ♥ ♥ The only trouble is picking which beautiful drawing to write fic for next! ^_~

I'm so very glad you enjoyed this story, babe. Thank you for reading it, and for the beautiful art that made it happen. You are simply too amazing for words.

♥♥♥♥♥♥

Even before I opened the art, I knew which picture(s) of hers you had used as a reference. Isn't she great? *sigh*

And once again, beautiful job on your part. How am I supposed to compete with this? (I had started my own little tribute series of tales for 'Zel, but this is way beyond my work, damn you.) However, I will take what comfort I can from the fact that your work and mine is very different. ;)

BTW - now I know I'm tired, I finally figured out your nickname on here... Shakespeare fan by any chance?

Haha, that's a testament to how wonderful Zel is, seriously. I love that doujin page, it's my favorite of all her doujinshi work, easily. The second-to-last panel especially ... tempted to make an icon of it.

I didn't really mean to make fic of her work like this, not really, but her stuff's just so inspirational, it doesn't surprise me at all that it's got others wanting to write. She's just that good.

And it's good that we write differently! That's the beauty of fandom, lots of different voices and perspectives.

YES, my name's from Shakespeare! You so get a gold star for knowing that. Most people think I'm named for the 80s porn star ... er no. Not so much. ^_~

Thanks for reading, hon! ♥

For a completely different take on 'Zel' inspired storytelling, check out:

(I need to get cracking on Chapter Four, where dear Roji shows up, much to Seiyo's delight...)

Not quite as... Zel-ish as your own work, but unique nonetheless!

And I know, I'm too much of a geek for my own good. But hey, normal is the setting on a dishwasher.

Oh I shall have to check out those links! Thanks for giving them to me!

"Normal is the setting on a dishwasher" ... that's hilarious. I will have to tell my husband that when he wakes ... he's the dishwasher around here! ^_~
