I have so many things going as far as writing. I've been through a lot of ups and downs personally, which I find affects my writing a lot. As in I don't feel like writing when I'm going through shit. But when I stop writing I feel even worse, so what's a hag to do, neh?
Right now this blog isn't letting me edit the lists I have up there. I have several things I'm writing, a few I've completed, and more on the way. That's nothing new, and I'm still too interested in writing unusual pairings. Latest obsession? A Nazgul fic, A Lincoln Burrows/Sara Tancredi fic, and a Jacob/Edward fic, wherein Edward gets schooled big time...oh, plot bunny! wolfpack/Edward. Oh yeah.
Just now I'm doing a Woody/Buzz fic....it's giving me trouble for the simple fact that I want the crossover from toy world to human world to be as jarring for the readers as it is for the characters, while still maintaining a smooth flow of prose. Not sure how well I'm doing with that, but I will tweak it until I'm satisfied.
Ok, let me see if I can screw with this blog so I can update the lists...

Unusual Pairings
Love 'em. Yup. I just finished a Harry Potter/ Dudley Dursley fic. I plan on doing a Lana Lang/Tess Mercer fic...of which there are none on FF.net. Seriously. I think I'm going to do a Davis/Doomsday/Chloe Sullivan fic, too. There was chemistry there.
Hmmm, what else? Not sure yet, but I love when I write something unusual and a reviewer tells me I've swayed them to liking that ship. Means my writing was persuasive enough.
Just remembered I'm doing the Orochimaru/harem fic...that will be VERY unusual, I couldn't find anything like it on ff.net at all. So many people believe he doesn't deserve to be with anybody. Me, I think he has potential. Especially since my fic won't be all lovey dovey. It's more like harem/orochimaru, with him having little say in the matter. I actually can't wait to write it, now that I'm talking about it.
*sigh* But I have TTB on my plate. And giftfics to finish.

The addiction is serious, ppl.
Case in point, I just finished an entire week of non-stop writing. As in only four hours of sleep a night. I wanted to get some fics done and beta-ed in time for V-day, which I did, and so hence the frenzy.
On top of that, I had some giftfics to do. One I offered to do because I really like the chic, seriously. It turned out to be my first Bleach fic (Kenpachi/Kisuke) and I think she liked it. I'm pleased with the way it turned out.
The other giftfics are for people who earned them other ways, but one of them seems to be going from a oneshot to a threeshot. Then one of the people who is getting a giftfic hasn't been able to specify a pairing that I can write about...still waiting to hear back from her. And lastly, I'm doing a surprise one for my beta...that one will be beta-ed and edited by me.
Then I have chap 4 of Rapunzel to do. Chap 22 of TTB needs to be done before I can begin researching and shit for Part 2. All this is on my plate RIGHT NOW, not stuff I plan on doing sometime in the future. As of this post, I haven't written anything in...hmm, about 20 hours. Such a nice vacation.
But get this.
My wonderful illustrator, the guy I use on DA, has some pictures I found interesting; at least, they inspired a few oneshot ideas. I asked about doing this for him and he had no idea what I was talking about. Once I explained it, he was all kinds of shocked/happy/ecstatic and said he already had a story in mind and had been looking for a writer. He's Indonesian, so his English isn't great, but I said I would be happy to do it. And I am.
He sent me an outline for an 8-part, 48+ chapter saga...an entire world, literally worlds, of his own design.
The detail, the sheer enormity of the fic is ...mind-boggling. Almost horrifying. Me, being the junkie I am, jumped at it with mouth foaming and eyes mad to begin. I've never done anything like this. It will be original fiction, Sci-fi fantasy, everything COMPLETELY out of my element...but I think I can do it. I want to do it. It will give me untold amounts of new experience. I could really grow as an author. He's just over the moon about finding someone to do this for him finally and I know how he feels. I was just as happy to find someone to bring my OC's to life so I could finally see them.
Naturally, he said I can be his writer for all his works. And just as naturally, I wondered if I should offer my services to other artists, who can't write. There are actually quite a few out there. I don't know, though. I wouldn't do it for free, that's for sure. But the idea won't go away. The prospect of getting so many new ideas to put on paper...the challenge...it's enough to make me shiver in delight, for real.
Yeah, so my plate is so beyond full...I need something like a wheelbarrow or whatever to carry it all. I'm about to outline chap 22 of TTb. Should be an easy piece, nothing much going on except smut, which has already been pretty much drafted in my head. I do that sometimes...draft entire scenes or chapters in my head and keep them there until I can put them on paper. It's what lets me update as fast as I do.
So, that's it. Writing still and loving it. I really need to take time and continue with my drawing, though. I have to find a balance.

New adventures!
Excited! I feel really excited, and that is a foreign feeling for me. I usually feel depressed, apathetic, angry, furious, hopeless and helpless. Or any mixture of those.
But now I feel happy and excited.
Due to a few things happening recently, I've decided to take up drawing. Thing number one that happened was I commissioned a fairly well-known artist on deviant art and asked her to draw something for me. I gave her specific instructions, paid her the money, and waited. Being as she expressed such enthusiasm for the commission, I expected a stunning result. After all, her work is good and popular.
The hag did NOTHING that I wanted, not one thing. I pointed this out to her and she seemed to think 'oops, sorry' was enough. I cannot express how disappointed I was and still am. Other artists I've worked with corrected any errors they made and showed me their progress along the way. She did none of that. So that's the first reason.
Second thing that happened is I saw this photo of this guy on the same site, faved it, commented, and struck up a small dialogue with him via notes and comments. I swear to god, he is so fucking hot. I'm totally stalking him on there. If he ever made it to this blog for whatever reason and read this, I'd probably die, but I don't think he will. Just a feeling.
I have to take a moment and say that if my fantasy of the perfect man ever came to life, he'd be it. He's older (I love older men), beefy (I hate skinny men), and has hair (I love long hair on guys). Naturally I spend a lot of time on his small gallery. He is absolutely outrageously talented. He draws as well as carves, paints and does digital art. I asked him about commissions, but I think I scared him away with my comments. Oh well.
But yeah, his talent is reason number two that I've taken up drawing. He just inspired me, you know? Reason number three is I see a lot of authors illustrating their own work and I am just so fucking jealous. It's like, damn you can already write, why do you have to be an artist too? So I figured hey, I should give it a shot. I stopped being jealous over it (that really lasted only a day or so) and began appreciating their work. Some of it anyway.
The last reason is that I have over sixty pics I want done. Commissions cost, man, they cost a lot and money is tight right now. Also, no matter how good the artist is and how great they follow my instructions, nothing they do is ever going to look exactly like what I have in mind. Well, except for DomDozz. He is fucking awesome, I swear, but he only does anime style. We're experimenting with semi-realism now and he's delivering quite well, but...but. And the other artists I've commissioned are taking MONTHS to finish. I don't know if that's normal, but DomDozz only takes days, at most a couple of weeks. One chic took only a few minutes, I kid you not.
I prefer realism for my commisions. I just love the idea of anime characters rendered as real people. So, I've decided to try my hand at drawing and so far I suck monumentally. I'm committed to learning, though, and have even looked up what materials I'll need. It'll be a hit in the pocket getting some of that stuff, but not as bad as shelling out for commissions every other minute.
The second thing that I consider a new adventure is I've just made an account of fictionpress, using the same name I use on ff.net. I have a short story already mapped out in my head to go on there. It's weird that I consider this new territory, since I've been working on an original story for some time now. Still, I'm used to anime fans and yaoi fan girls, not readers of original work. I think I'll consider this as more practice for my novel. I'll be able to leave the constraints of anime and yaoi behind to work on an original character. Using real world settings also promises to be liberating. I'm really looking forward to this and can hardly wait to begin typing the first chapter-
Damn. See? I originally wanted this to be a one-shot, but now I see it going to 10 or more chapters. *sigh*
That means I'll need to do an outline and all that other shit. Oh, well. I'm dedicated enough to this craft to put in the work, I suppose.
Adios

Renewed!
Yeah, I do feel renewed, refreshed, reborn, etc. Whatever funk I had about writing TTB left and I'm one again excited to be writing the next few chapters. I have a lot of twists and turns planned for this story. Hope it's not too much.
But also? Someone left me a really stupendous comment on my last post. That cheered me up tremendously. I'd been feeling like shit for the past while, but now I feel tons better. And I found out today that someone nominated one of my fics on the sasunaruawards.webs.com site. I feel so humbled and honored!
I went and checked out the site myself. I ended up trying to submit a couple of my stories for the contest, before I read the rules and found out you couldn't do that. I bet the site owner thinks I'm a complete spaz. Anyways I joined the site and found a few of my reviewers there, ppl I've seen on Y!gallery and whatnot. Seems cool, you know? I'm not obsessed with yaoi the way the site residents are, but I enjoy it enough to want to immerse myself more in the community.
So, I have news. I mentioned it on that award site, but I'm going to announce it here as well. Not like many people read this blog, so it will still surprise a lot of people, I guess. The news is this:
I'm doing a sequel to My Destiny.
I guess it's not big news. A lot of people liked it, but that's not why I'm doing the sequel. I've only done one sequel because of fans demanding one and that turned out to be a disaster. Nope. This idea fell into my head a few days ago and it is almost painful for me not to get to it right away. I'm enjoying my relatively light load right now. I'm only updating TTB, though I'm supposed to be doing Rapunzel as well. It's weird. That whole fic (rapunzel) is written in my head, chapters and all, but I just can't seem to find the will to type it out. Dunno what it is. I need to address that.
As it is, I'm kind of engaged in a contest with myself to see how long I can hold out from starting the MD sequel. Oh, and there's going to be a third part. So, a trilogy. Each part will be short, probably no longer than MD was. Both parts are mapped out and 3/4 written in my head already. It will be an emotional nightmare for me to write, I expect lots of tears, but I can't always write happy stuff.
Aside from that? I got this idea from this one reviewer to write an Orochimaru/harem fic. Possibly one-shot. Plot so far: A bunch of dominating, sexually aggressive women and girls decide to try out the Sannin. I think they call that PWP, actually. I think the women will be Tsunade, Anko, Temari, Karin, Tsume and that crystal chic from that dumb 3-tails filler arc. I might not include her, actually.
But yeah. So these new fics are going down there on the upcoming fanfics list. I know I'll probably cave and start writing either MD-2 soon or the Oro fic. I'm a glutton for punishment and unless I'm updating 4 or 5 fics simultaneously, something's wrong.
Thus the title of this blog.
Peace!
