Rereading the scene I wrote for that Arashi no Yoru Ni AU Toriko fic I mentioned…
I think the real reason I abandoned it was because I couldn’t handle the angst.
I’m so dumb.
I really really really want this fic badly. I’m pining for this fic. Please please please? Werewolf four kings with little goat Komatsu … that would be so awesome. Komatsu would be such...

Baa baa black sheep, have you any wool?
Grrr. I shouldn’t actually be here right now *glances around furtively* but I’m a little grumpy because of work and the fact that people keep putting more on my to-do list without giving me enough warning -_-. I hate last minute work surprises, and some part of me rebels by just saying “NO” and shutting down, refusing to do any more work for the night. People really...

Tentacles.... wait, no, I'm feeling tentative, not...
Silly heading aside, yeah, I’m feeling a little pensive and tentative about posting this, since I pretty sure I am in the minority on this, and well, that never gives one an optimistic feeling.
Also, I’m not one to get on bandwagons, not that I’m too hip for the mainstream, but because I’m so slow and ponderous that the bandwagon’s usually already over the hill and...

I don't even know . . .
*turns off the timer for the writing exercise* You know that saying … the one involving words and writing, and needing to go through about a million before you even find one worth keeping? Seems like I’m adding to my million pile today.
I totally need practice (until I finally decided to write for Toriko, I hadn’t written anything for fun in more than eight months) and man,...

Waffle, waffle, do the waffle dance!
Can’t. Decide. Write drabble ideas or write long fic? Rrrrgh. Why Toriko fandom? Why do you spawn such a need to write fic at the first sign of free time?!
So, choices are these: A) ficlet based on recent manga chapters B) ficlet involving the four kings and Komatsu on a camping trip, C) Pirate fic.
Screw it, I am going for D) turn on game console and whack away at monsters until solution...

More Speculation ....
latenightiridescence said: Good to see you again! All of your speculation is amazing, especially the bit about the pines. When put like that, it makes so much sense. And K’s notebook - I thought it was written by the Nitro, but if it were Frohze’s, that’d be incredible.
Hehe,...

Calling out (in transit)
Okay, so that was quite a long run of radio silence. I was expecting it; at this time of year, work kinda subsumes everything I do. It’s not exactly healthy, but I still haven’t learned quite how to balance having fun with needing to pay the bills, but oh well. It makes me happy that there’s stuff like fandom to come back to whenever I get a chance to doggie paddle to the top of...

latenightiridescence:
Since wonderble started posting her Toriko pirate AU (which is incredible), I can’t stop thinking about my own even though I don’t have time to write it right now, drat.
Mine is more of a Pirates of the Caribbean AU - every fandom needs movie rewrite fic, don’t try and deny it - and even though…
Yaaaay! More pirate fic! XD Though honestly, I’m kinda...

A fandom in review ...
Artist: Ryouma
Source: Pixiv
Well, actually, I normally do a fic roundup at the end of the year, but this year, in this fandom, I don’t have anything to round up, so I thought I might do a round up and review of some of the parts of the fandom that I could find. Starting with the fanfic … XD
It’s one of the things about being in a small fandom; it’s hard to find any...

Pirate Fic: Chapter 2C - Just for the Halibut

HAPPY 2012!
Oops. I literally ran out of time yesterday, but I had a great time ringing in the New Years with my friends… too much of a good time, I think, since it was the front side of 4 am before I got home. <_< I could get out of bed until 1 pm too. GAAAAAH. *feels embarrassed*
But it was fun and I got to spend the New Years with the friends I see all year — the only...

ROW ROW FIGHT THE POWAH ... (break time again!)
latenightiridescence said: Viva la Vida is a great name! It helps that I love the song. xD And if you want to write fic you should do it! I wouldn’t worry about ending up with a sucky songfic with your level of skill. I’m sure anything you write will be awesome.

Better run, better run … XD
Woo, due to some unexpected occurrences mid-week, it’s going to be a long night on my end to finish a metric ton of work so I don’t have to worry about it over New Years. But hehe, I am going to take breaks every now and then just so my brain won’t implode.
Strangely enough, I think I have an idea of what to name the pirate fic. Actually, it...

Spoilers ... arrrrgh
So let this be a lesson, self! DO NOT LOOK AT TORIKO SPOILERS.
Um, more after the break. And in case you missed it — YES SPOILERS. YOU PROBABLY DO NOT WANT TO KNOW. *sighs*
It better be a hoax. XD I mean, the fandom has had two weeks, so it could be one, I think. But then again …. in a world where there are walking roast pigs running around, this should not be so surprising.

*blush* Thank you for all your support on the pirate fic, and for the likes. It means a lot and makes me really happy. At least I know someone’s reading the fic, right? It makes me want to finish it even more! :)
Today alone I was able to rewrite eight of the previously lost pages and add two more to the tally. All on the power of goodwill and well, to be honest, stark naked fear since...

It's moving! The Hippo! It's moving!
FINALLY. After hitting a snag and having to backtrack eight pages, the hippopotamus of a Toriko fic (AKA: The Pirate Monstrosity) is finally moving again. The end is in sight. I can see the light at the end of the tunnel! I don’t usually post a fic before it’s done (unless it’s under special circumstances, like Boxing Day) so I’m really relieved that this behemoth is...

Note to self . . .
Giving into baser instincts and going to take a two hour nap in the late afternoon usually results in being awake at the wee hours of the night going ?!?!?! *sigh* There goes my carefully cultivated sleeping patterns. *facepalm*
Still it was an awesome, awesome nap. Warm, toasty, and oh so delicious. It was worth it. X3 Guess I’ll go post the boxing day fic now and get it over with.

So this is Christmas ... and what have you done?
Well, actually, I have made a page for my Toriko writing! (I sorta had to, since I um, somehow lost my first fic in all the weird posts I’ve made since then). I’m kinda proud of myself … until I realized probably eleven year olds could have done this, with less crowing, and more skill. Ah well. BUT YES. I have a fiction page now. For all three of my dinky Toriko Fics.
Woohoo....
Seasons Greetings!

The weather outside is actually quite frightful ....
I guess, since everyone in the household has grown past the pajamas with footies and buttflap stage, Christmas morning has also gotten more casual and the act of opening presents more and more delayed until everyone slouches up and gets some coffee.

Just going to casually reblog all your fic.
You make a really good point about the Kings seeing the world differently than normal people; it’s kinda close-minded of me, but I’ve mostly been thinking about the Kings and their heightened senses in terms of Komatsu and not, well, everything else. Something to keep in mind, I suppose.

So ... why doesn't anyone tell me these things?!
Apparently, when I put general tags on my posts, and I click on the tags, it doesn’t just link me to the things I tag in my own blogspace, it links me to everything that anyone has ever tagged with that tag in ALL of tumblr.

Whining about Writing
