Wow. Estate agent just brought prospective tenants over to see my current place. They're marketing this for 15% more than what I'm paying currently!

There were two pairs of people, one of which were SE Asians who were only interested in the Tezmobile. And yes, the Tezmobile tried to whore herself out again.

The Olympic Men's Four (rowing) was really exciting today.

[livejournal.com profile] giving_ground has gone home for the weekend, so I'm trying to make use of the gluten-full foodstuffs. Though I can't guarantee that I can finish the lasagna before Monday, so she'll just have to look at it and cry if that's the case. XD

[livejournal.com profile] elyndys tagged me for the writing/fic meme, but it's just too difficult!

[edit] Okay, so instead of trying to find my own favourites and telling you about it, you are welcome to name a fic of mine from [livejournal.com profile] word_games, and I'll tell you a little bit about it!

I stared at my list of fics and thought, "..........no way, I didn't write all that." orz

XDDDD Tezmobile is an attention whore but she deserves it because she's so friendly and cute. X3

Hmmmm, tell me about Crescent kudasai 8D

[identity profile] yuki-scorpio.livejournal.com 2008-08-16 06:51 pm (UTC)(link)
She probably thinks one day someone will take her away and give her freedom. orz

Crescent........... was something I kept thinking not many people would enjoy. Bits of it sat around in my head after I finished [A Dance with the Chrysanthemum] but it took me half a year to sit down and try to make sense of it. Well, it had to be done because Chrysanthemum was only half of Niou's story... sort of like "Niou in the making"? And he never got to sleep with Yagyuu SO I HAD TO MAKE THAT HAPPEN. XD After Niou had slept with at least one woman first.

I wanted to make Niou strong, yet vulnerable. >> And make it so that he has this thing about him which makes people want to hug him and squeeze him and call him George. XDDDDDDDD *shot*

Yagyuu surprised me in the story. It wasn't until AFTER I finished writing that I realised there was a recurring theme of "waiting" - that he said he was happy to wait (convo in Renji's office), that he was waiting for Niou outside Niou's place the day Niou slept with MeiMei, and waiting outside when Niou killed her, and again after he came back from abroad, literally waiting outside Niou's home with his suitcase. It was a decent surprise to see the trend there. Yagyuu was there to support him and if it took time for Niou to get over his own demons, that was fine. Yagyuu. ♥

I LOVEEEE writing Renji and Niou hanging out. \o/ Everybody loves Renji. And Renji is a sex god. The end. :DDDDD

Awwwww ^.^

\o/ Thanks for this, it was very insightful! ♥

(Btw, will there be more to this story? :3)

(There is more to the AU, but not for D1. There's an Akaya story, and probably one for Renji too, but the Renji story not really taking shape in my head yet.)

I can't make up my mind. You've written so many things I love. T____T

But I can tell you one thing. One of the side effects I had from reading Perfidia was that I was dying for a smoke. I don't smoke. Never been a big fan of it. But I had these urges to smoke for weeks after. It wasn't made better by working very closely with a colleague who smokes. We'd stop on some small country road for her smoking break and I'd sit on the stairs of the bus and lust. True story.

.............XD That simply cannot be possible!

Acceleration, please?

I started writing that story and stalled soon after. Around that time, I stole borrowed some Haruki Murakami books in Chinese from my brother-in-law, and started reading one called "Haruki Radio" (which is one of his books that haven't been translated into English yet, I think). There was a forward by the translator, talking about how in some, if not most, of Haruki's works, the characters simply didn't have names, or merely went by nicknames. That, and the actual book, somehow helped me a lot with my writing.

The story was done in sections, and there was a lot of swapping the order of things as I progressed. >>" The part where Sanada noticed everyone reading the same book, that was actually the original beginning. XD

The plot itself was pretty simple... I just wanted write that Renji thought he had a crush on Yukimura, but what he actually felt was jealousy and he was wishing he WAS Yukimura, because Yuki was so perfect and was close to Sanada. :D And Sanada liked Renji all along and just wouldn't admit to it. And Yukimura goes "LOL the two of you are so in denial, but I'll play along for a bit." XDDDDDDD;

It was a weird thing to write and even weirder to post, because of the way the story began... Renji describing what "acceleration" is, that almost sounded like 2nd person pov. Then it was revealed that it was someone else talking, so it was really 1st person, but even at that point it didn't seem like PoT fanfic at all and I was convinced most people would just click away. XD Overall I was, and still am, very happy with the outcome. Renji's voice was particularly fun to write. \:D/

I haven't read all of your fics yet and only recentely I managed to read The City. I dont normally like AUs but that one (like your other Niou/Yagyuu fics) impressed me a LOT. The City is probably one of the very few fics in all fandoms I ever attended that made jump. Several times. And I guess you have been questioned about it hundreds of times but dare ask you to talk about it some more)). Basically, what I want to know is: how could you kill Sanada and Niou??? )))))

♥!!!

XDDD Sanada and Niou just had to go. It was fun, too, killing them. Their deaths were planned almost right from the start, because this is a story where justice would not win and that meant Sanada would be killed. Niou's death............ maybe because I'm sadistic. XD But I thought it would make a good story, hehe.

You are very cruel, you know? ))) Yeah, I was more or less ok with Sanada's going because it was obvious Yuki didnt have any true feelings for him and in such situation I'd rather one of them would go ))) But Niou, oh my. I was SO sorry for him and for Yagyuu and for the hopes that had been so suddenly crushed. But indeed it made a good story! Thanks ))
