No one replied! So I figured I would. Only just started reading all the 42 Days entries (I quite forgot about the competition!!! Shock!) and I do really like the others (so no offense to everyone) but this is so sweet! Very cute idea. Am glad I found this site as now I have discovered a whole load of great writers.  I love how Hakuryu mistakes the girl's distress and fear of him, for fear FOR him, and concern. Definetly a smiley idea. I know am full of gush and all positive (I'm high) but I haven't really found any Hakuryuu fics . Rarely see one from the lil dragons POV... *smiles*...and this one just made my day. Okay, so I haven't actually said anything useful or constructive...just being another fan of your piece. And I'm in shock that this is the only story you've got posted.  |

I'm glad you enjoyed the story. And, I'm certainly not going to complain about glowing praise. ;D
I was having a tough time coming up with a short story idea for the contest when theRhoda gave me the idea to do something from a different point of view. After debating between Shippou from Inuyasha and Hakuryuu from Saiyuki insperation struck and the story was born.
As for other stuff, I don't have anything recent finished. But, I am in the process of editing and writing a longer WK story. In fact, at current the thing is divided up into five parts. The first part being over 5000 words and the second and third looking to be just as long if not longer.
Spent my lunch hour pounding out a more detailed outline of the next part. Hopefully I'll have something worth posting by the end of the year.

First off, love your fic  So cute. Hakuryuu was characterized as put-off and presumptuous, and that's definitely a breath of fresh air, as well as an intellectual upgrade from his usual portrayal. Very nicely done! Second, I will love you if you can actually write good, in-character weissfic. Those boys are battered more than the Saiyuki canon, and often in more grotesque ways (To both the grammarian and the human being)... Of course, I always happily await your work  |

I'm trying on the in character part, but it can be difficult. Keeping the characters in character. Especially with some of the silliness of the base universe. I have to keep reminding myself not to worry about certain details etc. For my sanity, I decide to stretch the world a little bit to make it a tad more realistic.  |

Heh, a good dose of common sense always helps in doing realism in weissfic. I'll admit, the canon is goofy. REALLY goofy. You'll handle it fine, though *has every ounce of faith* ...it's GOTTA be better than the ones where Ran is prone to spontaneous gigglefits because Ken, when provoked, blows milk out his nose. (Although that is a mental image one won't lose very quickly...) |

Unless something writes itself in the next few days, I won't have an entry for challenge #2. I just haven't made the time to sit down and write it once the thoughts started to gell themselves in my head. I played Prince of Persia 2 this weekend instead of watching the movie again and writing the rough. ;D
Dunno if I will make time this week either. All the goodies I got for Xmas destracting me. Plus I really want to work on Hindsight.
