Awesome, awesome setup. I especially love that Yunho is the scientist and Jaejoong the soldier, because that strikes me as right, yet not how it'd usually be done.

Now I'm all gleefully anticipating how Changmin and Junsu fit in to this.

[kallistei]

I did think about that. But this is Yunho. AU or not, I still haven't convinced myself he'd ever be comfortable with that.

I think I've got down all of this story that's going to come easily. I've seen a few more bits of the same universe, but I think they belong to other stories.

A mummy, you say? I think I shall.

*cocks head* An intriguing plan.

[ranalore]

The easiest way would be to make it the family business, or start with him already in it, I think. Getting him from not involved to involved would be the tricky part, so of course that's how you constructed the AU. *G*

I'll see if I can't get a look at that today, then, though I may not get to commenting until Wednesday. Busy week. *G*

It's a funny beta story. We have those on occasion. *G*

Not sure the boys would go for it, though.

[kallistei]

It's no fun without a conflict. I just... made the conflict as hard as it could possibly be. *headdesk*

No rush ^^

I see. I did ask but I haven't got a reply yet! *curious*

Changmin will soon see it's a matter of survival. He'll bring the others round.

[ranalore]

At least you recognize it. *G*

No rush is good, because today I'm feeling accomplished just keeping on top of comments.

She's had family in town over the weekend. Patience. *G*

But if they eat the bunnies, they're not surviving in literary form. You may have a struggle on your hands.

[kallistei]

Yep. I have recognised it. And therefore, not touched the story in weeks.

Whenever you can :) Especially now that you've OKd the stories for Yunho and Changmin's birthdays.

I'm not very good at patience. You might have noticed ^^;

Well, you know how I had no stories in progress on Sunday? I've got three documents open right now, not counting the things waiting for you to look at or the AUs. I don't think lack of bunnies is going to be a problem any time in the near future. The boys are welcome to any of them they can catch.

[ranalore]

Aww. I liked it anyway, and I wanted to see the game of cat and mouse (or rather, cat and other cat) that would result.

Possibly it would be best to wait out the antibiotics and near-constant sinus migraines. I can't vouch for my accuracy, otherwise. *G*

You should be. You're gonna be a doctor. Thank you, folks, I'll be here all week. Don't forget to tip your waiter.

I'd laugh, except there are days when I kinda leak story, so. Yeah. I mean, I just remixed myself. I blame drugs.

[kallistei]

Well, you never know. Maybe one day.

Sigh. *fidgets in place?*

Yeah, I'm not very good at those either ;) And that almost made Junsu's oyaji gags look funny.

There are times I think I'm glad I only write this much about one year in three or four. (Of course, the urge only ever hits in the worst possible years, but there you go.) Oooh, you remixed yourself? Maybe you should look into more of those drugs.

[ranalore]

I can always hope. *G*

I'm lucky to gain the concentration to answer comments right now. *G*

Junsu is but a novice, and y'all should probably be glad the language barrier and living in different countries makes it unlikely that I will ever have the chance to tutor him in the ways of really bad puns.

I hope this doesn't mean you'll stop writing this year, because we've just gotten used to having your work on tap, so to speak. *G*

If I keep pausing to remix myself, I'll never get the new stuff done, and some of it's on deadline.

[kallistei]

Hope is good for the soul!

*fidget fidget* I can wait. I'm just not good at it. :D

... The mere thought makes me hide under the table. You're probably going to take that as a compliment.

Well, that would be the established pattern - somewhere between 6 to 18 months where I have to write, and then a couple of years where I get to think. We'll see.

Ah, bah. Deadlines.

[ranalore]

I'm attempting to get caught up on comments again, then I'm going to see if I have enough brain for at least a little betaing on one of the stories.

... The mere thought makes me hide under the table. You're probably going to take that as a compliment.

Well, yes. *G* It's all part of my Evil, you see.

somewhere between 6 to 18 months where I have to write, and then a couple of years where I get to think.

I'd go crazy if that was my cycle. We all need intake periods to recharge and rebuild the well of words, but I get antsy when I can't write, so a recharge period of a few years would not be good.

[kallistei]

Mmm, braiiiiins.

Well, at least I can see the Evil coming now?

I do write, I just don't have to. And I write things for myself, mostly poetry, rather than things for other people.

[ranalore]

When the zombie apocalypse comes, I am safe. Because I wouldn't even make an appetizer, most days. @@

You can only see the part of the Evil that is there specifically to be seen, and act as a distraction while the other parts conquer the world. *G*

I see now. I have to write, which is the only reason to keep at it. Certainly, there's no money in it.

[kallistei]

I hear mush is very popular with zombies these days. :D

Oh. *looks harder*

I think I keep not expressing myself very well. I was using 'write' in a very literal sense. So on my 'off' periods, I compose things, but the urge to commit them to paper or screen is a lot less intense.

[ranalore]

They only like nutritious mush.

Hee!

I'm using "write" in the literal sense, as well. It literally makes me crazy not to write.

[kallistei]

I never knew zombies were concerned with the nutritional value of their mush. You learn something new every day!

Evil!

I feel most crazy when I'm writing. Hmm.
