I need to get back to writing. I need to, so badly. I really want to. I don't know what's keeping me back. I think it's half laziness and half lack of motivation. I'm out of touch with Arashi; I've really been obsessed with k-pop lately, and I've started writing some fic for that, but even writing that takes a lot of energy.

I went through my writing folder about a week ago, and I ended up getting so pissed at myself because there were so many fics I'd started and just gave up on, and so many good plot lines that I never finished developing, or I had finished developing but just never bothered to put into fic.

This following bit, for example, I thought was going to be my next chapter fic, but I stopped writing it because it involved too much OC backstory and I hate writing OCs. But when I was reading through it, I was disappointed that I would never get to share it. So I'll do it now. I won't put up all of it, because a lot of the parts are complete crap, but I really liked the beginning at least. I felt it had a lot of potential, and was a fun start to what hopefully would be a fun fic.

Some of you may recognize this from that "one-sentence WIP" meme I did eons ago.

so if you're interested! )

EDIT: now with more parts! )

This week looks to be really busy with work and miscellaneous things, but I'm doing my best with my entry for the fic contest at [livejournal.com profile] sei_shoku! Shit on a stick, deadline is in a week! Ugh, I need a pause button for my life.

Here's something that I scrapped pretty early on.


Everyone knew that Nino and Ohno were together. Not together in the conventional sense of buying roses and arranging dates and blushing when reaching for the same thing at the same time, but together, like the our-souls-match-and-we-are-basically-two-halves-of-a-whole together. Soul mates might be too romantic a classification too, but they were something close to that, with a lot less finishing each other's sentences and a lot more butt groping. Maybe they defied classification entirely; anyway, what they were was besides the point. The point was that they were together, and had been for years, and Sho got that. Sho - in fact, anyone - would have to be a moron not to get it.

The whole nation recognized Ohno and Nino's quote-on-quote relationship. It really was a good thing that the two of them had going. They were free to touch each other as much as they pleased, they were free to stand a bit apart from the rest of Arashi if they so chose (not often that they did, but not never, either), and there was the whole metaphorical boner that management had for them (or rather, the fangirl devotion they inspired and the subsequent cash flow it led to) which had allowed them to continue their Ohmiya SK skits for an audience of tens of thousands. When Sho thinks back to the days before Ohmiya SK was formed, before Ohno had even been dubbed Leader of Arashi, back to when all five of them were pretty much the same height - it was a very distant memory, to say the least. It was hard to imagine that a time existed when Nino and Ohno had not been joined at the hip.

But it had existed. Back then, Nino and Ohno didn't have each other. But they both had Sho.


PS ALSO PLANNING TO ENTER [livejournal.com profile] shoneenclub's CONTEST IF I CAN MAKE IT! ;u;

I enjoyed it, but I thought the dialogue was sub-par. SOOOO CORNY. Hugh Jackman, you get points up for the sheer number of times you scream furiously at the camera and make your veins pop out. Also, hellooo, Gambit, why have you not been in the 3 previous X-Men movies?! Obviously something went wrong in the production process; FOX, you are not forgiven.

Anyway, now I'm in the mood for mutants and so I'm going to obnoxiously shove myself into [personal profile] fantaisie's superhero!Arashi AU. Who is going to stop me?! No one! Me and my adamantium claws. Um.

it's midnight and the world is roasting )
sho/ohno; he didn't know you were a man
HEY! Time for some Truth or Dare!

TRUTH, you say? HMMMM.

Truth: I am half asleep as I type this and I do not not not want to go to work tomorrow.

Truth: I haven't written anything in a while, perhaps many of you have noticed this. I have a few things I'm working on, but none of them are even halfway done. I am kind of in a rut in that I will write a few paragraphs I think are okay, and then everything just deteriorates from there and then I get too angry to try to fix things and then I just sit at my desk and hate myself and think I deserve to be beaten with a sense stick. I KNOW. It is very emo and I am ashamed of myself too. I'm trying to get something out soon, but it's a battle between me and it and I am not winning.

Truth: I did participate in the Anon Meme but what I was actually hoping for was good, honest feedback about my writing because I want to improve and write as well as some of the other authors I know. Thank you to everyone who did comment for me, you guys really helped me a lot. But I was not aware that things like THIS FOLLOWING MEME existed.

THE ANONYMOUS WRITING FEEDBACK MEME


To those who've already commented on that other meme, thank you so much, you don't have to comment again, I already love you. But if anyone else is willing to throw me a bone, CONCRIT ME UNTIL I BLEED PLEASE. I NEED A MAJOR KICK IN THE ASS.

In fact! That is your dare!

arashi; we are the bright
Well! It took me three got-dang tries to make the index, but eventually I did it! DW. You have met your match. Your very incompetent match.


Whoo! Fic community! This is like my first big step into become an adult in fandom. S-shut up! Let me bask in the moment.

Everything links back to LJ right now, but I'll be posting new fics there too! (And at livejournal, of course.) Please feel free to join!! :D

Hello everyone, I have a question! I'm seeing a lot of people joining Dreamwidth these days and I was wondering, should I do so too? I don't really post much besides fic so is there any advantage to me to go over there? I read that they provide larger entry size limits and I am kind of drooling over that, but it's not the biggest deal in the world or anything.

If the answers to the above questions are yes, d-does anyone have a spare invite?

Heeeey. Okay! So here was my entry for the drabble contest over at [livejournal.com profile] ohmiya. I got last place guys, and I have to say I deserved it, lol. I pretty much wrote the drabbles in less than an hour, just to beat the deadline. OTL OTL OTL. I felt really ashamed of myself as I was submitting, but there! Lesson learned, I suppose! Also all of the entries were super good so even had I spent more time on them I am sure I wouldn't have won. also maybe i was kind of venting my RL frustrations through the fic uuuugh sorry about that D: D: D: someone should kick me

Rating: G
Prompts: If either Ohno/Nino were never in Arashi and they meet (I picked both); Ohno talking to Haru (Nino’s dog); marriage counseling (although I sort of took liberties with this one).
Notes: the three drabbles are connected as one story.
Words: 100 each.

EDIT! Well I'm sure everyone and their mother knows about this by now, but I really want to pimp this community, because it is 99.9% awesome and 0.01% me. Just kidding. It's 100% awesome. I'm still there, though!

Title: This Might Have Been Easier Without the Death Ray (6/7, 7/7)
Rating: PG-13
Notes: Sorry Sorry Sorry Sorry / I I I first / For you for you for you I fell / fell fell fallen baby
I mean. SORRY GUYS. I fell of the face of the earth for a while there, but you might be pleased to know that I am back and still retain function in all of my limbs. Just so you know, this last chapter nearly killed me. I rewrote it a total of seven times (not all of it, but most of it) before I finally found a plot I was happy with; you are reading attempt number eight. If you perhaps gain a semblance of happiness from this chapter, I would be so thankful, like, "oh my goodness my baby is alright" level of thankful. I think maaaaybe I will take a break from writing long things for a while. Can you blame me?! (A: yes.)

EDIT: GOD FLIST STOP BEING SO FUCKING AWESOME WHILE PEOPLE ARE AWAY OKAY, SOME OF US CAN'T HANDLE IT need to comment on so many things orz orz will have to wait for another time orzzzz

Well here it is, please enjoy!

Title: This Might Have Been Easier Without the Death Ray (3/7)
Rating: PG-13, still for swearing
Notes: Sorry this is a bit late guys, I got stuck in a wormhole and had to fight my way back to present day from the Mesozoic era. Also sorry if there are any glaring errors; I made a few changes here and there but I'm not at my most alert right now, I could have written about dinosaurs for all I know. Why am I thinking about dinosaurs so much.

Title: This Might Have Been Easier Without the Death Ray (2/7)
Rating: PG-13
Notes: guys how important can sleep be really, I mean, robots don't sleep, and look how efficient they are. Oh, the fic. Well here is chapter two, I hope you will enjoy it. It has a lot of backstory but I go through it fairly quickly, so if something is confusing/sucky do let me know please, I will do my best to fix it.

HI EVERYONE. So perhaps I will be in and out (mostly out) this week like a pesky, invisible mosquito. I want to spam a lot of awesome people (including you! yes you!) but RL is clawing at me for attention and if I ignore it any longer, I fear that my wounds will require medical attention.

In the meantime, here is a fic.

Title: This Might Have Been Easier Without the Death Ray
Rating: PG-13 for swearing
Warnings: THE STORYLINE IS KIND OF WEIRD, MAYBE.
Pairing: Ohmiya, but it's not the focus.
Summary: A story of the hilarious tragedy that is Ninomiya's life: trying to balance out school, love, stigma, arch-nemeses, and not really taking over the world city.
Genre: College AU? I... really don't know how to classify it.
Notes: a) Japan doesn't have Chancellors, I know, but "Prime Ministers" just didn't have the same ring to it. Maybe the setting isn't even Japan! As was pointed out by [livejournal.com profile] oviparous , the fic has a decidedly North American feel to it. I call artistic license? b) All information about lasers was obtained through browsing Wikipedia. I'm not scientist! (If this was not already obvious.) The laser in question is a hydrogen fluoride laser. c) I actually started writing this fic for the Valentine's Contest at [livejournal.com profile] ohmiyaday. OTL I stopped when I realized that the longer it got, the less Ohmiya it contained. That was probably the wisest decision I have ever made in my life. Anyway, this is for [profile] pink_tofu  and [livejournal.com profile] fluttering, who organized the contest and are therefore the reasons for this story's existence in the first place.
More notes? Inspired by Dr. Horrible's Sing-Along Blog.

HEY

GUESS WHO'S AMAZING

Answer: [livejournal.com profile] aatash IS AMAZING

Okay, NO SURPRISE THERE.

But!! Do you know JUST HOW AMAZING SHE IS?

Well! Now you do!


You can leave her a comment about her amazingness, etc, then come back here and thank me for reminding you of these important issues.

Sorry sorry everyone for so much spam from me, I do not do it (very) intentionally. I was about start cramming but everyone was extremely excited about Believe PV, Kumori Nochi PV, and Ohno's amazing performance on MusicStation, so how could I resist? Something akin to an atomic bomb exploded inside myself while I was watching him, guys. 

Result of overflowing love for Ohno: I wrote something. It was entirely spontaneous and finished quickly and goodness knows what prompted me to post it right after I wrote it, but it looks like I am just having a "to hell with it!" kind of day. To hell with you, grades! To hell with you, editting! To hell with you, title! You heard me! Title yourself!

Rating: PG-13
Warnings: boys kissing, inept writing
Pairing: Ohmiya

Notes: A lot of people commented about why on earth [INSERT SPOILER NAME HERE] would have Gimmickgamer4 as her username. I was surprised by this; isn't it possible to change your username and personal information and stuff? I know you can do it on LJ. Well, I'm sorry for any confusion. Here is the last part.

Good afternoon everyone, I am going to post that long thing I wrote for some contest that you may or may not be familiar with at oh, a humble little community known as [livejournal.com profile] kickass_central [livejournal.com profile] ohmiyaday. I think it turned out pretty well! (The contest, not the fic. Well I guess both.) I know I was promising to deliver that other really long one but I am still grappling with it and also I have to read about 250 pages about communication before Monday. I CAN'T WAIT (SARCASM).

Title: Yours, RamenLuver99
Rating: PG-13 for Nino's potty mouth
Genre: lol, I don't know. General? Melodrama?
Length: ~12,300 OTL
Summary: As a promotion for his new show, Ohno is put into a dating competition for Valentine's Day. Nino protests the only way he knows how: underhandedly.
Notes: I know that Japanese pronouns are gendered, but please pretend that they aren't, for this story. As well, please do not take the idea of individual fan clubs seriously; they were made up for the sake of the fic.
Thank you very much to: [livejournal.com profile] still_ciircee for correcting my grammar, [livejournal.com profile] waxrose for emotional support and encouragement, and especially [livejournal.com profile] jliann for not only telling me what she liked, but stuff she didn't like. Jun's entire snarky conversation with Nino can be credited to her. Thanks for your help, everyone! Oh, and a HUGE THANK YOU for everyone who participated in the contest! Awesome fandom is awesome.

Dear Mr. Clint Eastwood,

Please direct a movie starring Sean Penn and Ninomiya Kazunari. You have worked with both of them in the past, and both their movies have earned you many awards and accolades; moreover, the two of them are extremely versatile actors who I am sure will be superb in whatever story you choose to tell. I do not think this is a bad idea, Mr. Clint Eastwood. Please give this serious consideration.

Thank you,
primroseshows

And to the surprise of no one: )

Also to the surprise of no one, these Valentine's fic entries are all blowing my socks off. I am in a constant state of bare feet, everyone.
