11:59 pm - The Header Post/Welcome/Fic WIP List
|
Welcome to my livejournal! It's primarily used for me to keep in touch with friends, read fanfiction, and post my own fanfic, but occasionally I will comment randomly about my life as well. I don't have a friending policy, because that would involve being organised, so feel free to friend and/or introduce yourself at any point.
Fic WIP List
Note: These are all stories that I will DEFINITELY finish.
* One Piece – Justice (two-thirds written)
* One Piece – untitled Ace and Smoker fic (slightly over halfway done)
* One Piece – related Smoker and Straw Hats fic (couple of scenes written)
* One Piece - various Straw Hat Crew Version Two fics (half a dozen started, one or two finished)
* Prince of Tennis – Meet the In-Laws, next in the Prince and the Pauper series (half written)
* Fullmetal Alchemist – FMA/Muppets crossover (plotted, partially written, indecision over format holding up progress)
* Ranma ½ – Catalyst (estimated four or so chapters left to go, have probably written about one and a half chapters worth of scenes)
* Irresponsible Captain Tylor – In Vino Veritas (mostly complete)
Unsure List
Note: These are stories that are all started, but may never see the light of day, although I would very much like them to.
* Prince of Tennis – AU Ryoma at Fudoumine story (over 16,000 words written, no end in sight)
* Prince of Tennis – possible Prince and the Pauper-related BeKami futurefic (started and plotted)
* One Piece – crack Zoro origin fic
* Fullmetal Alchemist – untitled Ed gets sick story (half-written, stuck)
* Fullmetal Alchemist – Earth-Bound Misfit (some scenes written, lots of ideas, needs research done)
* Detective Conan – Hidden Truth (7,000 words written, not sure where it's going)
* Detective Conan – the Uneasy Alliance series, a continuance of the Universe begun in Fight or Flight and Uneasy Alliance (bits written, lots of ideas)
* FF7 – AU story (started, bits written, lots of ideas)
These are by no means all of my story ideas; I have many others floating around that may or may not get tackled, but these two lists represent the ones that will definitely be completed, and the ones that are most likely to get done after those. Everything else is in the "maybe/maybe not" category, so I won't tease you with them.
If you're curious about one in particular, reply to this post and identify it (one only, please), and I'll reply with a snippet from it.
current mood: list-y

9:17 pm - Random query
|
For how long should one keep old letters?
I went through a big penpal phase in my early-mid teens, and while clearing out a whole bunch of stuff today came across a box of old letters which I've been hauling around with me for some years. Going through them I find myself at a loss. Most of these people I can't even remember, and on average I received about 2-5 letters from each person until one or the other of us stopped writing (teenagers remember: short attention span. Also snail mail). There are a couple of treasured friends in there whose letters I will definitely keep, but on the whole I can see no real reason to keep a bunch of letters from people I briefly corresponded with nearly *coughmumble* years ago. Old diaries are one thing, but old letters?
Thoughts?

12:09 am - YuGiOh crack!fic
|
Uh... this is NOT one of the things I'd meant to work on, but the dialogue entered my head and then I had to write the rest of the fic to accomodate it. Stupid dialogue! Also, there are probably about a billion YuGiOh fics with this title, but I couldn't come up with anything better. Suggestions cheerfully accepted!

9:50 pm - Hello for 2008!
|
Hi all, just thought I'd actually get a post in here for 2008. I have now updated my fic WIP list for the new year... which sadly means I had to take the three completed fics off it. Then I put one new one on and shifted one of the "unsures" into the definites. So much for my sense of accomplishment. Argh... Okay, THIS year I really need to do more writing. And update my website. And finish sorting out the garden. And do more craft stuff. And about four million other things. Sigh. And it would be fine if it weren't for all of these distractions, such as:
( Only read this if you really, REALLY want to know what I'm reading, watching and gaming )
I am actually doing other stuff as well, but it's all boring things like tidying paperwork up and other similar tasks. And who really wants to hear about that? :-)
current mood:  busy

8:34 pm - Blogging in from Kyoto

Nifty things I have discovered about Japan so far:
* Shinto shrines are brighter than Buddhist shrines.
* The shopping arcardes lead to MORE shopping arcades.
* Vending machines rule.
* Japan is more or less run by 100yen coins.
* Japan has perfected the art of the ice cream parfait, they are to DIE for. Also, they almost always include cornflakes. I'm not sure why, but they are crunchy and good.
* You CAN eat too much takoyaki.
* 95% of holic doujinshi is R18 Doumeki/Watanuki. I'm not sure why I was surprised by this, but I was.

10:43 pm - Weird phobias - a generally pointless ramble
|
I have a peculiar phobia which I don't know if there's a word for, but its definition is "fear of being let-down by a favourite author". It is this phobia that causes me to go out and buy the latest book by one of my favourite authors the very second it comes out, and then let it languish on my "to-read" pile while I give it nervous glances for weeks. I'm always afraid that it won't be as good as I hope it will be, and I'll be disappointed and have to wait for another year or two at least to go through the process again. It gets even worse with series'. The most recent installment of Garth Nix's brilliant "Keys to the Kingdom" series Lady Friday (book 5 of 7), sat around for about three MONTHS before I finally got up the courage to open it (I needn't have worried - it was fantastic. Even better than the one before it). The most recent victim of my phobia was Diana Wynne Jones' The Pinhoe Egg, which I was doubly nervous about because it was revisiting the Chrestomanci Universe and in particular featured Cat Chant, my favourite character in that series. But today I finally plucked up the courage and it was WONDERFUL. The perfect return to this series. Total relief and enjoyment. Heh, maybe I'll finally get around to catching up with the latest Vlad Taltos book now.
(ETA - I should add that this phobia has some basis in fact. Every single one of my favourite authors has produced the odd clunker or two in their repertoire, some of them so dire that I cringe whenever I see that book in amongst all the other excellent pieces (yes, I keep them. I am a collector and completist. And sometimes, very rarely, I'll come back to a book a few years later and discover that actually it was quite good, I just wasn't ready for it at the time. It doesn't happen often, but it has been known to happen). To be fair, noone can please everyone all the time, and some of the books I couldn't stand others have loved. And when you have written as many books as some of my favourite authors have done, there is simply no getting around the fact that not ALL of them will be good.)

11:36 pm - One Piece crack crossover, also where the heck have I been?
|
*blows dust off of livejournal* Ahahahaha... it's been a while since I spent some real time on this thing. That's mostly been because of stuff happening in real life (vile thing that it is), which is thankfully now finished, and which means I once again have spare time. Unfortunately, there have been a large number of neglected things all clamouring for my attention which have piled up over the last few months, including books to read, DVDs to watch, and the last few missions of FF12 to finish (I'm having difficulty picking it up again after the long time away from it, despite being quite close to the end), all of which mean I still haven't gotten to my LJ. But I've had a number of nice comments to some of my older ficcage really, and it's reminded me about the various projects I've got on the backburner. So in an effort to get things going again, I thought I'd start the ball rolling with a few bits and pieces.
And so... it's crack crossover time again.

12:25 am - Uh... I have no idea why, but have a Bleach/FF7:AC crossover
|
Not dead, despite life's best efforts. I probably won't be around much till late June, as I am involved in running this years National Science Fiction Convention and it's taking up a lot of time. However today, while cooking dinner, the following fic idea popped into my head and insisted on being written. I have no idea why, especially since there's at least a dozen things I should be doing instead, not to mention it's been forever since I watched, read or played either of these things. It's completely bananas and strangely worked. And it would have been much, much shorter if Byakuya would have just shut up. For a character that barely speaks he sure THINKS a lot! Anyway...
Title: And then they all died and lived happily ever after
Series: Bleach/Final Fantasy 7: Advent Children crossover
Characters: Byakuya, Sephiroth, Renji, Zack, sundry others mentioned but not appearing because this is already too damn long
Spoilers: Bleach through Soul Society storyline, FF7... um... spoilers for who died in the game and Advent Children (is that even a spoiler???), also mention of Zack's new last name
Rating: G

Title: Mail Call
Author: Jaelle
Rating: G
Warnings: SPOILERS for Chapter 440 and events leading up to it!!!
Pairings: Nope.
Disclaimer: Not mine, all Oda-sensei's.
Challenge: (Mail) service
Word count: 315
This story was originally written for one of the onepieceyaoi100 challenges, which was "service". For various reasons it never actually got posted to the challenge (one reason being that despite numerous edits I was unable to cut it down to the required word limit), so having stared at it for a couple of weeks now I'm just gonna put it up here. Comments always appreciated.

12:28 am - Kingdom Hearts 2 post-game FF8 fusion ficcage
|
I don't really know how else to describe it. A Kingdom Hearts II/Final Fantasy VIII sort-of-fusion-crossover-AU-thing.
Title: How Does Your Garden Grow? (better suggestions gratefully accepted)
Rating: PG-13 (mostly for language)
Genre: Humour
Pairings: None
Spoilers: No major spoilers for KH2, but yeah, there are probably some in there. At least for characters and places appearing.
Setting: Post-game.
Disclaimer: Ain’t mine.
( Leeeeeeeeooooooooonnnnn... )
And in other game-related stuff... I am now deeply torn because Dirge of Cerberus just got released here and I want to play it, but I'm still working through Magna Carta and I hate changing games midway through. So I guess I'll just have to pick up the pace on MC. I did put DoC in to watch the opening, but after a quick go at it I can see that I'll have to do a lot of practicing in the tutorials to get the hang of it before I play it for real (I suck at FPS). Guy (who does not) has kindly offered to play it FOR me, but I'd rather do it myself.
Also, I had a sudden mental image the other day and now I want someone to write a FF7 AU where Sephiroth and Zack are seniors at the Shinra Academy for Boys and Cloud is a sophomore at Avalanche High School because the idea of the three of them in gakuran makes my head explode with joy.
(And also they should all be members of the same kendo club because formal kendo outfits omghabioejsalkjnbvsdnb...)

11:06 pm - Random One Piece ficcage
|
I don't even know what I was thinking when I wrote this, but... uh... hmmmm.
It's kind of a "one blanket" story. Only not quite. I think I wrote it basically with the last two lines in mind. :-)
Title: ... (suggestions gratefully accepted!)
Rating: PG-13
Characters: Zoro, Nami
Pairing: None
Warnings/Spoilers: None
Disclaimer: They're not mine, which is probably just as well for the sake of the world. As always, Oda-sensei owns all.
( Aaaand... this is your room here )
In other news... ummm... Magna Carta: Tears of Blood (or Crimson Stigmata, whatever) - I love it. And I feel it is a bad, BAAAAD sign for a mercenary captain when his own team begins to matchmake for him, even though it is extremely cute and funny.
Seriously, this guy is completely, utterly, and hopelessly in love and everyone... and I mean EVERYONE... knows it. Random NPCs in villages who have three sentences of dialogue know it. The monsters know it. In fact, the only person who DOESN'T know it is, predictably, the person he likes. And of course, himself (what with that great big shiny shield of Denial +300 he's equipping).

Title: One Potato, Two Potato
Rating: PG (for swearing)
Pairings: None
Warnings: No, not really (aside from the swearing). Ummm... more possible Zoro-background entirely made up by yours truly?
Spoilers: No
Disclaimer: They're not mine. Oda-sensei owns all!
Summary: Everything Zoro did seemed designed specifically to piss Sanji off. He was rude, vulgar, abrupt, inconsiderate, and apparently blind to the charms of their fairer nakama.
He was also the best forager on the ship, and if he didn't bring anything back they were all going hungry until the next town. Damn it.

Because eventually it will occur to you that Axel and Azel are only one letter apart and hey! Wouldn't it be funny if they were swapped into each others' games? And then the mental images start...

10:11 am - Damn, damn, damn
|
I hate it when you read a story for a show or game you're not familiar with, and think "Hey, that was pretty good, maybe I should check out that show/game/movie/whatever." And then, when you DO and you get really interested you can't FIND the damn story that started the whole thing off again.
Which is to say that, having finished KH2 I have now moved on to Magna Carta, and SOMEONE out there wrote a very good pre-game fic about Calintz and the General a couple of months ago, and I CAN'T REMEMBER WHO IT WAS...
*weeps*
(You know, there was a time when I would take a few weeks out in-between finishing a game and starting a new one to do other stuff. But then I looked at the DVDs I could watch and the books I could read and kind of went "meh".)
(Of course, I did read more-or-less the entire Temeraire trilogy in-between the two games, but considering that only took me something like three days, I don't think it counts. And anyway, that was less "taking time out to read" and more "oh, there's that book I've heard about. I'll give it a go... *ten pages in* MUST DEVOUR ENTIRE SERIES WHOLE GIMME!!!")
current mood:  annoyed
