So yeah, this is mostly a fic journal. If you can't access an entry, it means that I haven't got round to finishing it yet and have locked it to me until I do.
Expect more crack pairings than you can shake a stick at. I'm always open to suggestions, just remember that I write slowly and get distracted easily.

List of RP accounts

Have fun and comment if you want.

I was thinking about Shisui and his ability again as I'm RPing him at the moment and this came to mind. It's really more to get me back into writing than anything else.

Title: Countermeasures
Characters: Inoichi, Shisui
Genre: Angst
Rating: T
Summary: Shisui worries Inoichi. Spoilers for 459.

( because he had to practice somehow )

Or life. Possibly both. Something like that anyway.

My list of accounts grows almost daily, it seems. ^^;;

For some reason, your comment about Juugo x Mikoto, digthenym , has led to a rather vicious plotbunny where Juugo talks to crow!Mikoto. ...It made sense in my head anyway.

nendo_chan , do you know if there's any good art of filler!Minazuki on pixiv.net? Seeing your Sougyo no Kotowari made me want one.
I have no idea why as I'm not sure if it should speak or even what its gender is.

I spent the past couple of days Archive Bingeing on Claymore in between freaking out Uchiha by tagging them with my Shisui on dear_mun . Fun times.

In reading Claymore, I did something I've never done before. I read the whole thing straight through without stopping to look at fanlistings, fanfiction, TV Tropes entries, etc. I think this probably helped me enjoy the series more because I went into it with no preconceptions.

So, my thoughts... (Warning: contains spoilers for the whole series.)

( Raki fangirling ahead )

I figure I should post this now before the list gets too long for my profile. And it would eventually. ^^;;

All of them are homeless and only hang out in dear_mun or the appropriate dressing room.

I've been having a lot of fun RPing this week.

Thanks, digthenym , ladyassassin , and twitchytwitch . I really appreciated you letting me practice the voices of my Hanabi and Karura on your Konohamaru, Gaara and original!Naruto (even if you had no idea it was me at first, Tiger).

Thanks to the two Hinatas (princessofsight and sunnyshyne ) and the Neji (eighthsight ) who showed up to chat with Hanabi in the Naruto dressing room as well.

Karura should turn up in the dressing room soon. Edit: she's there now. Feel free to bug her.

I need to write up Fuu's history and then I might turn her loose there as well.

Edit: A genin!Koharu will probably appear soon and for some reason, I'm toying with the idea of a Shisui.

The title is a lie.

I really wish I had one but I don't. It's kind of depressing because I can't write more than a short paragraph at the moment.

However, I do have two new RP accounts and more might be on the way. I am easily enabled (and need distractions from my inability to write).

Say hello to waterfall_host (Fuu) and ichii_oniyuri (AU Lilynette).

Yes, I do make awful name puns. ^^;;;

You know what this means, right, nendo_chan ? xD

I got my first piece of fanart today.

Someone read Summer Grass and was inspired to draw a beautiful picture of Fuu by it.

I feel so happy. I never thought that I'd be a good enough writer to inspire fanart.

Title: Breaking the Surface
Characters: Kisame, Yugito
Pairings: Kisame/Yugito
Genre: Angst
Rating: T
A/N: Written for a crack pairing contest on dA.
Summary: AU. Kisame, Yugito, and why breathing isn't the same as living.

( teetering on the brink of something more )

Title: Family Traditions
Characters: Karura, Sunamaru (Fourth Kazekage)
Genre: Humour
Rating: K+
Summary: Crack. The Kazekage saves his unborn child from a terrible fate.

( Karura has only the best intentions, really )

I really want to write a time travel parody based on an alien joke I read once but I can't remember the exact wording of the joke.

What I recall goes something like this: aliens have had to stop replacing humans so that they can figure out if there are any actual humans left. The current consensus is there's one man (insert details here).

If anyone manages to find it, I'll let them pick who isn't a time traveller.

 This is all your fault, Nym, for posting that Tonka thing.

( Itachi likes Kurenai's butt )

Title: Madara's True Goal
Characters: fem!Madara, Yamato
Pairings: fem!Madara/Yamato
Genre: Humour/Parody
Rating: T
A/N: Based on a conversation with digthenym .
Summary: Utter crack. Madara's finally achieved his goal and Yamato really wishes he hadn't. Light spoilers for 463.

( in which Yamato learns more about the Akatsuki than he ever wanted to )

You know those really odd reviews people get sometimes? In the year or so I've spent on FF.net, I've been lucky to have only sensible reviewers, people who would point out mistakes politely etc.

But just now, I got this review for Bittersweet. I know it's not the best story and I definitely wouldn't write it now but it's not that awful. Despite that, I still hoped that the review was meant sarcastically.

I like this. Now all you have to do is include obito's little sister who is Kakashi's love interest!

You know what makes this worse? She seems to have written several stories with an OC Uchiha who has the same name as her pen name. So basically she's saying that I should write her self-insert. There are no words. Seriously. How do you even begin to respond to that?

So after hunting through a load of old manga chapters and anime screenshots, I managed to make enough icons for a RP account.

Say hello to pale_fireworks . She doesn't really care about having friends but if she thinks you're suitable (i.e. not too loud), she'll talk to you. Maybe.

Once I get some practice with her, I might make a Hana as well. If I can find screenshots of the episode where she treats Akamaru after the Sasuke retrieval arc anyway...

Anyone willing to explain RP tags to me?

I've been thinking about having a go at RPing a lot lately but I have no idea who to pick.

These are some of the characters I've been thinking about:

( theme? what theme? )

( for your AU, nendo )

Also, did anyone see the spoilers for the latest Naruto chapter?

Spoiler: Kurotsuchi is Deidara's sister!

The ficcage potential is strong with them.

I created a Hokage!Rin who behaves a lot like the Mizukage except Itachi's name is the thing you don't mention in front of her rather than marriage. She's also prone to angsting over Shisui and don't even get her started on Obito because her brooding would be worse than Sasuke's.

...This has to violate some law of Naruto fandom, right? ^^;;;;

The Art of Breaking was probably posted too soon as I looked at it again and realised that it needed a whole bunch of scenes to at least hint at Rin's issues with Itachi/establish Kabuto's fate. I'll hopefully finish the extra bits and add them tomorrow.

I really want to write another 20 Truths but I have no idea who for. I'm open to any suggestions.

Title: The Art of Breaking
Characters: Kabuto, Rin
Genre: Angst
Rating: T
Summary: Very AU. The Hokage talks to a prisoner.

( but what is breaking, bonds or people? )

Title: Stand
Characters: Hanabi, Hiashi, Hinata, Neji
Genre: Angst/Family
Rating: T
Summary: How far would Hanabi go for Hinata?

( being overlooked can have its advantages )

Do you think this looks better than this in terms of how it's formatted?

I've been writing a lot of the second kind recently but I'm worried that it looks worse. (The first kind is an absolute pain in the neck to do properly with FF.net's system though.)

This probably doesn't matter that much but I'm interested to know what you think anyway.
