Yeay! I really like this a whole lot. Mugen's thoughts are so simple and base where Jin's are poetic and kinda complicated...which is just how the two of them are anyway... i can't wait to see what else comes out during this challange ^^

They're such wonderful opposites, aren't they? Just one of the reasons I love Samurai Champloo so much. Thanks so much for your nice words.

Another wonderful one! I'm so glad that you picked mugen x jin, we'll get to read five sam cham fics of yours! :)

Yay! So glad you enjoyed it.

Very nice. I love that these are not all hearts and flowers. And that their differences attract them in spite of themselves. I look forward to the rest of your stories.

shayheyred February 6 2006, 02:36:12 UTC

Oh, hearts and flowers are not part of this pair, that's for sure! Hey -- too bad no one took Bodie and Doyle for this challenge.

Thanks, kiddo.

too bad no one took Bodie and Doyle for this challenge

I wish I had done. In fact, I might just write stories for the challenge anyway.

Drop a note to the community mod -- she's the one who got me to write Mugen/Jin!

Well, when you're at Princeton, I'll make house calls. Or basement calls. Whatever.
Thanks for the good, friendly, only mildly scary comment!

This is fantastic -- I love Jin's observations about Mugen, especially:

Even his matted hair stands up and shouts angrily at the universe.

and how he sees all those warring parts come together when Mugen fights.

Kind of the way it surprised me yet made sense that, in a sense, Mugen's the more self-aware one here.

Love!

Mugen is more self aware in the sense he has the simpler world view -- pretty much, eat, fuck, sleep, fight. Jin's got all the conflicts. Delighted you liked this!~ As in all these SC fics, I owe it all to you.
