You know, I've always said that the Johto arc of Pokémon is my favorite, but actually going back and watching the Indigo arc, I'm really thinking that the Indigo arc might just be my favorite after all. The characterizations, the art style (I actually like the raw-looking artwork), and the fresh plotlines... Of course, Johto is still great ( Read more... )

Fanfic meme, day 19: When you have plot bunnies, do you sit down and start writing right away, or do you write down the idea for further use?Heh, I have so many plunnies running around, if I started a new fic every time I had a new plunny, I'd never finish a single fic! Nope, I archive the plunny idea (usually on here--the "story ideas" tag will ( Read more... )

Fanfic meme, day 18: Where do you get the most inspiration for your fics (aka "plot bunnies") from?I call them "plunnies" for short, and I get most of them either from songs or missing scene/addendum scenarios. A good song can be very plunny inducing, particularly when you have lyrics that inspire vivid and intense scenes. In fact, my most ( Read more... )

I was writing a musing for the tribute blog yesterday that got me thinking about how I love understated humor. Understated humor can be so hilarious if done right, but it's very difficult to do. I think that's why I find writing humor fics so difficult--I try to go for the understated humor rather than cracky humor, and it is a bit of a challenge ( Read more... )

...I have yet another Kolchak plunny--it was inspired by this Yu-Gi-Oh card. The possibilities are endless--maybe Tony assigns Carl to some story about an art exhibition, which Carl grudgingly goes to, and ends up coming across... this. Or something inspired by it, most likely. I think it could get weird, creepy, and amusing all at once if it is ( Read more... )

For a while now, insaneladybug and I have been working on a project. Here is a sneak peak/small part of what we have planned, which will be fully unveiled at the month's end: http://simonoaklandtribute.blogspot.com/Read more... )

I finally finished that Newkirk-Carter ficlit! ...And oh, my muse is getting back into action now that it's done. My next project for the Hogan's Heroes fandom will be the long-awaited wax museum fic. But before I start that, I want to dust off and update the current hanging Kolchak fic I have. I've already started the chapter ( Read more... )

Aaaand LJ is still continuing to hiccup for me. It's weird--even when I'm logged in, if I go to my journal, it's as though I'm logged out and I can't see my locked posts. And my formatting is all weird--I can't see my sidebar with all my tags. And the page never fully loads--it only loads the first few recent entries. Um, wot? I hope this gets ( Read more... )

Oh, how I have missed you, LJ. I will catch up with the flist when I am sure that LJ is behaving again 100%. Let's see, what else to say?

Richard was hilarious in yesterday and today's classic Family Feuds--he had another "September" moment in yesterday's Fast Money round, cracking up at a rather dumb answer: "Name a dish you make out of ground ( Read more... )

Work on the helpthesouth oneshot is coming along slowly but surely, I'm happy to say. I'm trying to nudge myself along with the realization that once I finish it, I can get back to writing for LeBeau & Newkirk. Fact--I love writing about the friendship between the two corporals, and Carter & Newkirk does tend to be tougher to write ( Read more... )
