Mar. 25th, 2004 05:39 amPeople... remember this? Remember I said colouring it would be like climbing Matterhorn?
( Well, I've climbed it. )

"Mine", Cass Pang
Mar. 25th, 2004 01:10 pmJust before I run off to lecture.
Randomly dragged all the MP3's in my 2001 Cantopop folder into Winamp (yes, all 1177 songs), and listened to "我的" by 彭羚. Ding~ the song's so damn sweet. I think I'm easily moved by these things recently. It's something about her voice as well... it makes me think "Aa, shiawase na..."
孩子般的笑容 誰都會被感動 就怕你太可親 別人都想間中來借用
旁觀者很眼紅 能跟你在抱擁 實在相當需要自信
明白有別人 在暗中煸動 儘管情感仍充滿著許多暗湧
你印在我唇邊的吻 誰都不可以帶走 你滲入我懷中的暖 誰可搶到手
世界就算淪陷了 這些都會是我的存在理由 滅絕我的玉身 鬆不開我手
你種在我眉稍的笑 誰都不可以抹走 你注入我人生的愛 誓死不放手
我有沒有留住你 這些都已是我的 沒法偷 完全是我獨有 誰也不可跟我鬥
留不低一個人 仍不算極度不幸 就算教我傷心 沒人得到過一樣震撼
同一位的愛人 同一秒在發生 亦是只得這個熱吻
你印在我唇邊的吻 誰都不可以帶走 你滲入我懷中的暖 誰可搶到手
世界就算淪陷了 這些都會是我存在的理由 滅絕我的玉身 鬆不開我手
你種在我眉稍的笑 誰都不可以抹走 你注入我人生的愛 誓死不放手
我有沒有留住你 這些都已是我的 沒法偷 完全是我獨有 誰也不可跟我鬥
旁人沒有我亦有 即使愛不足夠 更顯得罕有
Not a fan of Cass Pang, but this is a nice CD. "幽靈" and "暗戀無罪" are both songs that make me shiver. She's got a special quality in her voice. Maybe it does take a married woman to sing "我的" to make the song sound like what it's really meant to be.
Guess that's why I'm listening less and less to cantopop. They give me writing ideas.

WK fandom vs PoT fandom
Mar. 25th, 2004 05:43 pmWas just saying something about the PoT fandom on a LJ comment, and it sort of made me think.
Why do I like PoT fandom more than WK fandom? (just the fandom... not comparing the actual anime or manga)
WK fans are like, "hey look I bought a doujinshi and here's a scan of the cover!"
PoT fans are "hey I bought a doujinshi, here's the whole thing scanned, numbered and zipped, (sometimes translated too), download away!"
WK fans are like, "can someone tell me this, this and this, and can someone send me this song?" (and they don't say please)
PoT fans: "Yo I got the new single CD, I've scanned the booklet if someone wants to translate (please??) and here are the MP3s! Actually I've put all the albums I have on the website, which is here.... (insert address)"
WK fans hardly ever bother to give feedback on fics or fanart anymore. Try posting something to WKFF or WKML or FF.NET and you'll see what I mean.
PoT fans actually give constructive feedback!
And oh I've seen Wk fans screaming "Argh Youji must be (straight/gay - delete as appropriate), how can you write (yaoi/het) about him!! Kill you!!!"
PoT fans can write FujiTaka or ZukaSakuno or RyomaSakuno or HorioSakuno and nobody screams at them (at least I haven't seen it so far).
Yeah, it's the fans that make the difference.
And the amount of pretty boys in PoT, all with very individual characters, available for all sorts of combinations and permutations... and the anime occasionally do fanservice *snickers*
Of course I still love WK. I still love AyaYouji and BradSchu. XD But the fans really, really put me off contributing anything to the fandom anymore, since my effort seems to be unappreciated. *sigh*

I know quite a few people have added me to their flist recently. If you want to find my fics, go to my ff.net account (for all fics), The Crossroads (for Weiss fics), or Bradcrawford.org for Schwarz fics.
Okay, I'm not feeling so great today (although krispy kreme donuts are already working miracles), so I've decided to read my ff.net reviews to cheer myself up a bit.
AND. It's my journal. I'm allowed to show off. So here, this is the stuff that cheers me up, be the reviews good or bad, because it actually means people have read my writing!
Far Too Close (WK)
Still one of my own favourites. Too bad it's het and people don't read het. Heavy angst. Apparently everyone who reads it cries. Go me.
When You Gonna Learn (WK)
Possibly the best known fanfic I've done. Or rather, I'm more known as "the one who wrote WYGL" than my own screen name. Definitely received the most feedback, although most are sent to my mailbox rather than ff.net. Some very vague AyaYouji... so vague if you blink you'll miss it.
Red Sea (WK)
My very favourite. Subtle Aya/Youji. Lots of ties here and there, symbolisms, and all that. And I really liked the ending I gave it. Go me. (it did take me 3 years to complete though...)
Blinded (WK - incomplete)
aka The Fic That's Draining My Life Away. Struggling through the Takatori parts, but the parts after that, and the ending, have all been decided. There will be more surprises and shocks in the latter parts. And it'll be a sad ending. Sorry. But there'll be a sequel. I felt my own heart clenching writing about Nagi in part 16. That's how much I'm putting into this story.
Happiness (PoT)
It's got a happy ending, but people still cry over it. Sorry...
Little Prince (PoT)
Sap and fluff. Yay. Love the occasional fluff.

[edit: because I don't want to start another entry. I just looked in the mirror and noticed I have long hair. Oh my god. I actually have hair long enough to be tied up. Oh my god. The longest hair I have for the last 12 years. I feel so weird.]
I want to write PoT het.
I want to write PoT Mizuki het. (yes yes, you heard me right) But there are no female characters that I can use, and I don't want to end up writing MarySue.
Put it this way. I want to write a Mizuki love story. But I can't make myself pair him up with anyone (no, not Yuuta or Atobe...) Errrr... Kajimoto? No...
Maybe I'll just not write a love story and instead do an introspective piece or something. There are lots of fic-related stuff in my head... things for [Blinded], the sequal to [Happiness], a "let's mess with the buchou" fic (hahaha, actually I've started that ages ago)...and damn, that sequel to [Red Sea] as well. Grrr and the Nagi fic. And [Satoshi]. Why the hell do I want to write so many different things?
Downloading ep126 chi-subbed. Can't believe how fast these subbers are.
