Well. Seven days until the next chapter of FMA and I am starting to go insane. So, to pass the time, I theorize. A lot. It's quite fun. I decided to write them down here, as a record if nothing else. And I needed to post something .

Theories time!

( spoilers for 95 )

So: Reply to this meme by yelling "Words!" and I will give you five words that remind me of you. Then post them in your LJ and explain what they mean to you.

edmondia tossed some at me!

DN

It is a shiny series, with my drama and philosophy. And ambiguously gay boys, but who cares about that? *wink wink* It's my main fandom right now, as rarely as I finish fics for it. Working on them though. There's such depth to it, such fine tuned characters - and the themes resonate with me so strongly. It's not my favorite manga (FMA wins out, I fear) but it is definately up there.


Theater

Ah, theater. Stressful, aggrivating, and addicting. May or may not be my One True Job (seriously, becoming a stage manager is one of my dreams that will probably never be fulfilled.) It keeps me up late at night and all day practices suck, but it's still my favorite time of year. I will miss it at college, unless I can get involved there. Still, my last year was all right.  and don't talk to me about the tree. seriously, don't. Most fun I have all year, even if it drives me batty.

Driving

I got my liscense just recently, and I emoed about it quite a bit. But now I am (mostly) confident on the road and have not crashed yet. It is nice, this whole "going somewhere alone" thing. I've taken to going to the park alone and curling up under a tree. (yay, tree!) Also not having to get a ride to work or such. Much fun. Innercity driving and interstate driving is still a bit much, but that's more boredom than anything else.

(Fellow) Hoosier

I live in Indiana. It is a pleasant enough place, with lots of corn, deer, and weather that makes no fucking sense whatsoever. Lol thirty degree temperature swings in two days, going from nice to ick with nary a stop inbetween. Still, it's a nice place. Lots of trees, and close enough to be able to laugh at the whole Cubs/Cards debate without actually being involved. (For me, at least. I moved from Il.) However, I live in the absolute middle of nowhere, and being an hour away from a decent bookstore stings, sometimes. I have no idea how long I will remain a Hoosier...I'd like to live in Colorado, but I doubt that would happen.


Meta

My brain does odd things. Taking Jello and turning it into Nixon. Throwing ideas at me as I'm falling asleep. Giving me the tendency to wander off into strange directions wondering, "But what does it Mean?" I tend to wander into Meta stuff, because it's fun and gives my brain space to run around. Er. Slime around, I suppose. *thinks, shakes head* I'll be the one in the corner, analyzing the theme of a story or looking at how the bits work together, and possibly giggling at cows somehow become involved. Good times.



S 

My mother passed her state boards, so she is now officially a nurse! 

Huzzah!

( Crime. Fighting. Robot. Nixon.  )

This is one of them.


S

Right. I posted the draft of this months ago. I hated it and I hated it, and eventually I just rewrote the whole damn thing. And it worked! Gasp! This is what it should have been - the ending is still a bit rough, but it is so much better.

Title: Shards of Light.

Fandom: YGO

Character: Seto Kaiba

Timing: Duelist Vol. 2

 

( Seto Kaiba sat inside himself... )

...because I have the sudden image of DN characters as 1920's-1930's gangsters. And It needs to exist.

Light is totally a mob boss. Misa is the lovely woman in the flapper dress. And Mikami is the guy with the tommy gun. 

And someone needs to draw L in a fedora.

Damn my brain.

S 

The first ten people to comment in this post get to request a drabble of any pairing / character of their choosing from me. In return, they have to post this in their journal, regardless of their ability. If you absolutely cannot write, I do not see why you would not be able to offer drawings or icons or something instead.

So, anybody want a drabble?

S 

They're making a DS remake of Pokemon Gold and Silver!

Squee! (Yes, I actually did make that sound. Shush, you.)

I've been waiting for this FireRed and LeafGreen came out... Johto was my favorite area, hands down. And Crystal was my favorite game.

This means I get to have my Typhosion again! *glee* And a Houndoom! Oh goodness have I missed my Houndoom...

*glee* 

Comes out in Japan this fall...*yays* 


S 

Announcement! My sister in law had her baby on Sunday. His name is Jax Marius. They have good taste in names. *nod* 

Now, DN stuff.

L's death is hard to write, you know.

Even more so from the pov of a character I've never done before...who turns out to be kind of hard, in an of himself.

Soichiro is too normal for me to really know what to do with. It's a bit sad. The fic in question won't have many scenes in his pov, though, which will help. Though I do have the random desire to explore his character more... Now I just have to finish typing the first chapter and edit the *fuck* out of it.

I'm trying for plot twists in this thing... but since I know what's going on, it's hard to tell if they're effective or not. But that's what this place is is for, I suppose. Ya'll know what you're doing, generally.

Randomly: I like AU's. Quite a bit. And I am currently fighting off the urge to write one suggested by saint_archie. Basically, "If L had no successors, would the NPA alone be able to stop Kira?" I am intrieged. *nod* If anyone wants to try their hand at it, feel free to.

I am a Busy Turtle. *hides in shell*


S 

Um, hi. Life is vaguely annoying right now. Not in a, "oh god I hate the world!" sort of way, but more like, "...why do I have to interact with people again?" But I spent a while curled up next to a lake and it was pretty and cheered me up quite a bit. So yay. 

Started Dostoevsky's The Idiot today. It is rather shiny and, if the intro is to be believed, Dostoevsky's creative process worked rather like mine. I am not displeased with this, no, not at all. Good to know that my crazy, hastily scrawled ideas and disorganized methods can actually work. Encouraging, that.

I has epic music! *dances to "Let's Go Surfing"* Sparks is all different kinds of awesome and I will be drawing a picture of them for my art class. I don't expect anyone to get it. Hurrah for surrealism and cows!

I have a friend. She gave me a Rorschach key chain. She is awesome and deserving of many hugs. *nod nod* 

I have fics written. I just need to type them. Saichiko is hard to write.... I have also been distracted by Nana's new story. Damn you, and your dysfunctional epicness....I need to write more. EMET is feeling abandonded, and so is Domino.... Work on those tonight.

So yes. Despite evidence to the contrary, I am alive.

Gather 'round, it's confession time. Because I spent too much time reading fandomsecrets 



I know it's fangirl bait.

I know that very few authors would be able to make it work, and I'm not one of them.

I know it will never, ever happen without serious psychological restructuring on both ends, almost to the point of it being OOC.

I know that if it did happen it would probably be dysfunctional and angsty.

But damn it, I still want cute Rorschach/Daniel fic. And I think there's canon basis for it.



There may be something wrong with me.

And heaven help me, I just started looking for fanfiction.


S

I am now officially on spring break!

*collapses in a heap*

Except I had immunizations today, I have a dentist's appointment tomorrow, college orientation and placement testing on Thursday which means I have to be there at 7:45 in the fucking morning after an hour's drive...

Ah well. If I didn't have things to do, I'd go mad.

...I need to post fics, don't I? Ah well. Ramble about those for a moment. Make it a To-Do list of sorts. If there's one that you want to see in particular, pester me and I'll get right on it.

Stories in Progress!

"Sixth Trumpet" (Death Note) In Revelations, there are seven trumpets signaling the end of all things. On November 11, 2009 Saichiko Yagami receives a phone call, and while it's not the end, it almost is.

Because Saichiko doesn't get enough love, this might be an interesting scene to write, and God knows that DN needs more Judeo-Christian symbolism. *nod* 


"Deathlessness and Old Age"  (Hellsing) Walter and Alucard have been compatriots - friends, even - for quite a while, you know. Three ficlets spanning sixty years about these two old fighters.

Actually already finished - I just need to whap it with an editing stick a few times. Was written as a Christmas present for a Walter fan. Rather fond of it, even if I finished it...Christmas eve. *cough *


"Shards of Light"  (Yuugiou) Seto Kaiba sits inside of himself, trying to fit his mind back together, trying to make it perfect - but there's something wrong. There's a piece missing. Set at Duelist Volume 2 in the manga.

Almost done as well, but it'll need a few more whaps with the editing stick. Posted it earlier, except I didn't have the title then. I figure I may as well just post it.


(Death Note) This one I don't have a title or a theme or anything. I just have the random desire to write some overly stylized L/Light stuff. I think it's set during their time in college, but I'm not sure. This one might take a while. *pokes it* 



And, of course, Twist. Which I have been working on for...*thinks* six months now. And I don't have the first chapter written. I kind of suck a things with, you know, a plot. I am getting farther though! I have no idea what the hell I'm doing, but hey. Working on the outline right now, because I'm far too twitchy to write something this (hopefully) complicatated if I don't have a plan.


Right. Serri, we need to work on that L/BB fic at some point. Ah well.



*goes back to scribbling on her timeline* 


S

From diluted_thought this time.


1. Kaiba Seto.

Probably my favorite Yuugiou character, ever. He's foul tempered and cold, but there's a core of blinding, brilliant *light* that won't go away no matter what he does. And he's just so much fun to watch - watching him crawl up from his own hell and carve his future out of sheer force of will. He's amazing, and he's a little insane, but he has the gift of taking those crazy ideas and turning them into reality. He's also smart, and that always (Always!) gets points with me.  Fun little bastard, this one. I'd probably end up punching him in the face if I actually had to deal with him, but hey.


2. Mokuba/Shizuka.

*laughs* It's cute, what can I say? Plus the look on both Jou and Seto's faces when they find out... (Jou would Not Be Pleased.) I've never been able to rock Seto/Shizuka, or any of the other Shizuka pairings. And I've never really liked most of the Mokuba pairings (when people actually remember that he exists :()...though I will admit a weakness for Mokuba/Mana. (Thank you, Nenya...) But this...this I can do. Besides, I like going against the masses and having Shizuka like the Other Kaiba amuses me.

3. Your favorite Death Note character.

I'm not sure who my favorite is, actually. There's fondness - which would probably put Soichiro or Mastuda at the top of the list - and then there's interest - which shots Light and L to the top. Really, I like them all, but it's more fun with Light and L around. If they can handle sharing top spot, that is. *grin* 

4. Musical preferences. (You like JRock?!)

Yes, yes I do. I'm not that into the scene though - I've heard Gackt, and X-Japan, and Hyde, and Diago Stardust amuses me a lot - but I don't really know any groups except the really well known ones though. (That being said - "Emu~For My Dear" is one of the prettiest Songs Ever.) I should probably get into it more, because what I've heard is generally pretty damn good.

5. Fanfiction and/or novels.

I write. It's what I do. Sometimes I play in someone else's sandbox, and sometimes I whip out my hammer and nails and clumsily try to make my own sandbox. Haven't finished any yet (keep runnin' out of glue) but I'm working on them.  I need to post some fics, though...have that Kaiba fic from forever ago that I think I can finish...



S

I knew it had to happen eventually...

...but seeing a YGO/Twilight crossover still makes me...

oh god. It can't be...

*searches ff.net*

...heaven help us. Death Note/Twilight.

*whimpers*


EDIT: WWE/Twilight. Bwuhahaha. That makes it better.

S 

I don't like crowds.

It's impossible for me to focus in a crowd. There's too much energy, too many people. Too many snippets of conversations that make no sense, but I can't ignore.

Sometimes, though, the noise, all the words blend together into a hum. I like that. I can deal with the hum. It's generic, elemental - no individual facet or words. It's just noise, like the gulls on the shore or the wind roaring through the trees. There's nothing to catch the attention of my fickle mind - just a gestalt mass of sound.

That I can deal with. That, I can block out and focus on what I want to, without my mind latching onto cut-out pieces of other people's lives.

Still, I don't like crowds. I hear too much.


S

It is fantastic. Must reread. A lot. Also might start writing fic, but resisting. For now.

I'm not sure if I'm more interested in Rorschach's mind or his sentence structure.

I am the daughter of a linguist, and occasionally it shows.


S

I just got back from watching it.

It is epic.

And I'm pretty sure my head is imploding.

Sex scenes were a bit much, I think - I was thinking at the time, "Was that really necessary?"  But besides that, it's awesome.

I haven't read the book yet (I'm certainly going to now...) so I don't know how they compare. But I'm already in love. There is one fantasy more gripping than any other: Reality.

Also: My favorite character died. I really should not be as surprised at this as I am.



S

...

...they made a DS port for Chrono Trigger?

That was released LAST YEAR?

HOW did I not know about this? I'm ashamed of myself now....

*rushes out and buys instead of going to see Watchmen*

*starts playing obsessively* Oh, Magus is the Fiendlord now? That works, I suppose...what? Did they take out Frog's accent? Those bastards... they better have not messed up the plot any...

Wonder if it's got all the endings...I hope so...


The rest of the week is going to be a bit distracted.
