plenty of flail, plenty of fail

just a taste of it

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! )

letting out the gas

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 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 shoneenclub's CONTEST IF I CAN MAKE IT! ;u;

guess who saw the Wolverine movie? dis gal

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 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 )

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!

Clearly I should be doing other things with my time.

( But you shouldn't! )

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
