Miscellanous: Storyline updates, new feature, IYFG news
Because I'm feeling particularly organizational today:
[+] WIPs: The muses have been rather quiet (RL has been torturous lately), but I am starting to feel - in a big way - the next chapter to *gasp* Nihon Idol. I'm hoping to break out the Instant Star DVDs and actually start plotting this bad boy out. After all, it's only been six months since I've updated this fic...*facepalm*
Elsewise, I've made progress on the Fleeting front as well, mapping out the last seven chapters of that fic (FYI: the payoff is coming, and rather sooner than you might think). Watching the new episodes of the anime have helped in a big way, because I'm really, really happy with the way the storyline parallels the canon.
[+] New feature: I got a real kick going through my writing notebooks, trying to find the most inspired/messiest entry to "prove" my handwriting can, indeed, be reduced to chicken scratch :P Opening my notebooks to the masses is something I've never been opposed to, I just never thought there would be any interest in it. But there are a couple of entries I'd like to spotlight, so I'll be scanning/posting those in the coming days. Is there a story you'd like to see in particular? Let me know! This goes all the way back to Every Heart, BTW, so you Memento Mori fans could even potentially have something to look forward to!
[+] IYFG: Participating at the IYFG is like trying to navigate through a fucking minefield, and somehow, I was stupid enough to do it again this quarter. It appears my list of seconds went through, so congrats are in order for the following stories/authors:
Here are the nominations I made this quarter (with a note as to whether or not they've been seconded):
Here are the seconds I just sent through the list:
Many thanks to those kind enough to second those stories I nominated, as well as to those of you who seconded my stories that have been nominated ~ I appreciate both gestures!

Many thanks to those kind enough to second those stories I nominated, as well as to those of you who seconded my stories that have been nominated ~ I appreciate both gestures!

It's bad enough that I'm setting up a workstation just for this project...computer with laser printer and color printer/scanner, its own bookcase, and possibly a file box.
I know if I try to do it all on this computer, I'll never do the data squeezing I need to. But I'm having a great time.
Maybe some of your organizational muses will stop by every now and then to keep me on track....
no subject
I am starting to feel - in a big way - the next chapter to *gasp* Nihon Idol.
*gleegleeglee* All sorts of SQUEE for this!! YAY!
Elsewise, I've made progress on the Fleeting front as well, mapping out the last seven chapters of that fic (FYI: the payoff is coming, and rather sooner than you might think).
EVEN MORE YAY!
somehow, I was stupid enough to do it again this quarter
Could it be that I dragged ya into it? *looks innocent*
no subject
You're welcome =) It's sad, really, because to look at it on the face it appears the only people I'm willing to support are my BFFs and/or cronies.
Like I said, it's a minefield. People read so much into your actions at that, and only that, Guild *facepalm*
*gleegleeglee* All sorts of SQUEE for this!! YAY!
*scuffs shoe* Um, well, yeah...sorry, tennis took over my evening. My Finn took almost three freaking hours to win his doubles match, but it was worth every second, LOL :P
But this is pretty much my front-burner project for the moment. As tennis winds down, the music will wind up :D
EVEN MORE YAY!
<3 So much love for this fic. And I keep rewriting the last, pivotal chapter in my head because it is going to be so awesome, at least for me :P
Could it be that I dragged ya into it? *looks innocent*
LOL Yes, that's pretty much exactly it, but I didn't want to slander you for all the world to see :P
no subject
LOL You can has forgiveness. I've been sitting here watching gymnastics. Then bullriding. And now figure skating.
But this is pretty much my front-burner project for the moment. As tennis winds down, the music will wind up :D
WOOOOO!!
LOL Yes, that's pretty much exactly it, but I didn't want to slander you for all the world to see :P
LOL Slander away! (I don't know if I'll feel like a real mod until I am, LOL)
no subject
Do you get sports-related bunnies, or is it because I dive in head-first? Because LOL, the same bunny that I had last year during Roland Garros is again nipping at my heels.
No doubt, I will find a way to mesh tennis and Inuyasha one day. Though the results are not likely to be pretty o.O
LOL Slander away! (I don't know if I'll feel like a real mod until I am, LOL)
YEAH THAT HORRIBLE PSYCO_CHICK32 HOW DARE SHE FORCE ME TO PARTICIPATE IN THIS FARCE AND ACTUALLY NOMINATE/SECOND STUFF WORTHY OF ATTENTION INSTEAD OF BEING AN EXERCISE IN MASTURBATORY FANTASY FOR CERTAIN SEGMENTS OF THE FANDOM POPULATION
*coughdokugacough*. WHAT A HEARTLESS BITCH.How's that? :P
no subject
I WILL READ IT.
DUDE, YOU MESHED BANKING AND INUYASHA.
*rant snipped*
*breathes heavily* There, I feel better ^_~
no subject
Fleeting has been such a fluke for me, I swear. I don't know where to put it in the body of my work, considering its brought me just as much grief as praise...
Let's just say the two year retrospective will be quite interesting come March :P
no subject
Glad to see that you are thinking about Nihon Idol and we will finally see the notes for Every Heart. You do such a good job with IK it is too bad that you have moved on to different pairings.
Can't fault anything that you nominated or seconded. I am going to wait to see what is left that needs to be seconded.
Interesting that Unspoiled was DQ'd because it contradicts canon. Before 558 such a story would have OK as canon.
no subject
Ducko is not a player I have the patience for. I hate the typical 'American' style of play...perhaps its no surprise that my support is firmly behind the Poor Man's Kafelnikov, Nikolay Davydenko. Dude has been kicking ass and taking names all week - and boring commentators every step of the way, LMAO!
The women on the other hand? Have been boring as fuck this Australian Open.
Glad to see that you are thinking about Nihon Idol and we will finally see the notes for Every Heart. You do such a good job with IK it is too bad that you have moved on to different pairings.
I'll have to dig deep to find all of my notes for Every Heart - I don't know that I made that many, outside the conversation Sesshoumaru had with his mother, which I wrote at a feverish pace during one of my lunch breaks :P But everything else is there, if people want to see them.
And, I wouldn't say I've left I/K in my dust just yet ~ I do still have Nihon Idol to finish, after all, and a couple plot bunnies bouncing around. It's just...after you've written Sesshoumaru as your go-to romantic lead for so long, its hard to get back into Inuyasha's mentality.
Interesting that Unspoiled was DQ'd because it contradicts canon. Before 558 such a story would have OK as canon.
That's one of the reasons that particular definition will be challenged in the near future, because its actually quite restrictive as it stands *shrug*
