Just a spot to ramble on about other things I write. At the moment, Grey is on my mind quite a bit. It's an HnG fiction, written pretty much because there are situations I'd love to see done differently. I'd been running with various plots that I've seen a bunch of times, but all of a sudden, original ideas are showing up and I'm wondering whether to stop posting. Odd how that works.
Hmm. Perhaps I'll turn the OFC into a full blown Mary Sue for the next installment. That would work to keep things nicely cliched. *nods*
*staunchly ignores Myth, because it's been over a month since the last time I watched the Hunt for Red October and I'm just not in the mood for Clancy*

Just in case I haven't mentioned it I have been reading Grey, I like it. I am really curious as to where it is going and what You are going to do with the daughter. The new chapter with the ducks, it is really an interesting look at how you don't know something about your friends lives till someone tells you. I am curious will He say something to Hikaru or not?
So just in case You thought that it was an echoing silence out there, now you know one of us is at least paying attention,

*does a happy dance* I'm glad you like Grey. It's my stress-relief story, that is to say, it's the thing I write when I just need to write something. I love the HnG characters and I love HnG fanfiction. There's something very soothing about it.
Anyway, as for where it's going... it wasn't originally supposed to go anywhere - just reiterate cliches I've seen and enjoyed in the fanfiction for this fandom. We've got the fight at the go salon, the cameraderie at a competition, the death of Touya's father, the (implied) marriage of Hikaru and Akari. Kinume isn't falling into her role of "the strangely talented Mary-Sue" quite as well as I'd hoped. I find I'm starting to really care about her and have a hard time pushing her out of the OFC niche. We'll see.
Anyway, you've given me a plotbunny - currently nibbling my toes but probably soon to demand lettuce and dialogue. I was going to space the next anecdote the standard two to three years, but given your response, I think I'll need to deal with the situation I set up a little more immediately. Thanks for the feedback!

Your going to make me beg arn't You? I mean how Could you do that? drop a cliff right there have them walk over it then stop!! Arrggghhhh, as if the completely adorable mental picture of poor little Akira being flight sick wasn't enough now I have to imagine complete stupor. Besides you know we want more non stupid Hikaru fics.
I could write a couple of author brain transplant prescriptions for some of the new fics we have on ff in that section. Geeze what are they thinking!

Hmm...brain transplant. Well, I don't know that you'd need to be quite that radical, but some writing courses and a few decent plotbunnies would probably help them out considerably. Go read Aishuu's stuff: it will mollify you. As for Grey... I'm soooo sorry. I just finished chapter 8 and dear God, I thought I was handling something well, but if this chapter is any indication, I am still not over my little bit of life-suckage. It is far darker than the rest of the vignettes have been. The good news is that having gotten that over with, I may be able to sleep tonight (I live for literary catharsis). The dark eighth chapter of Grey: www.fanfiction.net/s/2151667/8/hmm... speaking of decent plotbunnies, I think I need to find bait for some funny ones for Grey. *wonders if Nutella with sprinkles on Wonder bread would work* |

*Glomp* Oh dear i adore you! Although you have now done it, your cliches arn't anymore. You fell into the river of depth! Oh dear, it wasn't as bad as it could have been was it?
You handled the switches beautifully, and the way a person whose life is falling apart really does get desperate. Turning to your friend and rival (who just by the way happens to show the world a facade of ICE) is sometimes harder than turning your brain into mush Doing something. I personally have been know to Fall into a video game head first to hide from real life when I was younger, *thinks about it* since I am not so young too.
As most of us that have lived through it, if Hikaru is getting a divorce then it will be the kids that are hardest hit. Even in so called friendly ones they get the short end.
Now for humorous plot bunnies, I got some I am willing to give you if you want. Of course a couple are rather dark and one would send you
back into the cliche of the section so hard your teeth might rattle. But then again Humor is just Horror adjusted to amuse right.

'Humor is just Horror adjusted to amuse...' Oh, I like that. I like that a lot. May I steal it and quote you somewhere (not sure where, but I'm just adoring this phrase). What can I say; I'm a language junkie.
Also, was fur Hasen haben wir? (like I said, fun with language - and that one sounds great in German - it just means 'what kind of bunnies have we got?') I can't believe I'm actually asking for bunnies in my life, but... maybe just one? Yes. I'd deeply enjoy just one horribly humorous plot-bunny, black, white, calico or other. I'll open the hutch and he's welcome.

Yea! Bunnies. Well, your bunnies have definitely gotten mine in that 'we're going to breed another crack-mad plot' mood. It was so great, in fact, that I just finished a fluffy little chapter nine. I'd love to share it with you, but apparently ffnet does not want to allow me to log in. *growls in frustration*
Hell hath no fury like a bunny scorned...

Ha ha, looks like you finally got in. It was so cute. I would love to have seent he look on Akira's face when Hikaru came back with spoty bangs!! And of course with the polite, Um I think you missed some spots. Oh I am so not really looking forward to the next chapter. I figure with what is going on now the next chapter is the hit the fan chapter. But that is a good thing because from there the story can move on right.
Call on me if you need any more bunnies, I have spares and they always seem to come in the weirdest colors around here. Like this puple and white one, wait I named that one You can't have Sai. But there is a spiral brown one that needs a nice home.

Ah, Sai... *evil laughter*
Well, the second biggest cliche in the fandom does involve him, so I'd say Sai is as inevitable as death and taxes. *pets the purple plot bunny* I will not, however, do the "Sai is actually a girl" cliche, because some things are too horrible for me to even dream of a way to fix them.

And in other news, on Friday, I posted Chrno Crusade fic for someone. I've since gotten three reviews, but the person for whom it was posted has apparently not seen it *laughs*. What kills me is that people have asked me to update soon. It's a one shot. To my way of thinking, it's an obvious one shot. The thing is written like a third grade book review: says what it's going to cover right in the first paragraph, covers it, ends. It's flattering that folks would want to read more, but it's a little confusing too - and makes me wonder whether I need to re-work the piece to make it more obviously over. The point of writing, after all, is to convey the author's ideas in some fashion to the readers. If they're not getting it, does that mean I'm not being clear enough? *ponders* I may have to write some Saiyuki crack to get over this. Grey is making me cry.

Well... you could try the simple "End" word at the end of the story. ;D Thing is, you are basically asked to "write more stories" - as plain and simple as that. Obviously, your audience likes your story enough to want more even though it has ended  |

Loved the picture. May I use it as an icon (if I can figure out how)?
In return, I give you Grey chapters 10 and 11 and the end of the divorce arc (thank heaven). Did I end up using the purple plotbunny? Only the bunny knows for sure... *laughs*
