Summary: Persona 3, Akihiko/Minato.  Akihiko plays nursemaid during the typhoon, and that gives him way too much spare time to ponder things.

Rating: PG-13 for shonen-ai.

Words: 4,878

Author's Note:  Been too busy to devote as much time to writing as I normally like, but found time enough to finish off this piece of fluff.  Nothing original or terribly exciting, just your standard bedside manner ficlet. :P  That, and I wondered who the heck looked after Minato during the typhoon.  This was my fangirl-brain solution.  When did I become so cliche?


( P3 fandom needs more Akihiko/Minato )

Bokurano is finished.  Last chapter is finally out.  .___.  IF YOU HAVEN'T READ IT, GO NOW.

Having read the manga to completion, I cannot get over how incredibly different the anime is. Differences between adaptations are pretty standard, but at this point, they maybe should have changed the title? After all, the anime never had that scene from which the manga earned its name after all, in which Machi pays out Ushiro for referring to himself as ‘boku’ instead of ‘ore’, and then the whole ‘bokura’ (we) and ‘bokurano’ (ours) thing came into play.
 
So I thought I’d put down a little guide of differences between the manga and anime, for anyone who’d seen/read one but not the other (though if you’ve only seen the anime, really, read the manga before spoiling yourself here.)  Also to rant.  I like ranting!  Very cathartic.

Here's a list!  I numbered it.  There is just that much butchering. 


( Not quite as bad as Sailor Moon, but much more illogical )
 

Basic Instructions has been a regular stop on my weekly webcomic journeys for the past year or two.  It's pretty mainstream compared to most of the others I read!  So you can imagine the weirdness when all of sudden, I open the browser to discover today's comic:  'How to Write Fanfiction'.

This post is mostly to show off my groovy new icon. Look at it! It's art. Everybody heaps praise on sillk.

Now to provide some written substance. How's everyone going? Personally, work's been driving me batty lately. Speaking of going batty, have you ever gone past a street light that has turned on or off right as you've walked under it? It's kind of freaky, right? Well, at the corner of my block, there's this one street light that turns on or off every time I walk past. Without fail! What's the deal?

Title: Foul Line

Summary: Eyeshield21, Implied HiruSena.  Hiruma had a lot of enemies, but eventually, someone else was going to get a gun.

Rating: T for death, swearing.

Words: 2,060

Author's Note:  Not particularly happy with much of anything I've been writing lately - been throwing a lot of stuff out.  This probably isn't post-worthy either, but it's Eyeshield21, and there just isn't enough Eyeshield21 anything.  Not much of a plot, just scribbling.  Another tragic and depressing one, though.  Hopefully once I'm through with my current project at work I'll have less need to vent in fiction format.  :P

Thanks for your help yesterday guys! Overwhelming consensus was ‘duh’, there was some excellent advice and wisdom given, and it was really good to sound it out and discuss it, gave me lots of good information to work with. :) I have Train-Man-style warm and fuzzies now. Truly, you are a very classy bunch of people.  I'll let you know how everything goes.

So, RL stuff out of the way, here's some silly Tenipuri fluff!  For reference, this was the prompt given by sillk  (full text here)

you guys remember sin's tezryo radio play?
prompt: the dubbing of a threesome BL anime. the seiyuus? tezuka/ryoma/....... *drum-roll* ....yukimura.
...and, will they be allowed to smooch their own elbow? (｡◕‿◕｡)

And here is the result.

Title: Three Minutes

Summary: Voice Actor AU. Tezuka, Ryoma, and Yukimura.

Rating: PG for implied shonen ai. 

Words: 2,404

Author's Note:  For Yukimura's characterisation, I went for more the tenimyu version.  He was the hardest part of this to pin down.  Hope you enjoy it!


 

For some bizarre reason, I've been reading about crazy PETA exploits.  Highly amusing.

BUT MORE IMPORTANTLY - OMG BOKURANO.

I don't think I've seen a manga propose a moral dilemma this intense since Death Note.  o__o

( Spoiler ) 

Title: Forever

Summary: Natsume Yuujinchou.  The curse of immortality, and Madara refusing to let go.

Rating: PG.  Angst.

Words: 2,004

Author's Note:  I wasn't going to post this, because I was planning on posting fluff next to break things up, but I have a stack of dark fic and only unfinished fluff, so...  ^__^  Chances are, not many people have seen/read Natsume Yuujinchou anyhow.  Which you totally should!  It's like a less creepy version of Tactics or xXxholic.

 

This is what happens when I look for C3PO shoujo-style doujinshi. I instead wind up reading this.
 
Saint Onisan. The synopsis is thus: Jesus and Buddha come to Earth on holiday, and share an apartment. 
 
That’s it.
 
No, seriously.

It even has Death Note references in it:


 
BLASPHEMY HAS NEVER BEEN SO HILARIOUS. 

Just to jump on the bandwagon, I loved the new Star Trek movie to pieces.  But let's not forget that Star Wars is still cool! 



I'll do a proper post again soon, promise.  Just as soon as real life has stopped being such an attention-whore.  :3

RL got crazy busy all of a sudden!  But I need to share this.



Humanity is so doomed.

Title: His Butler

Summary: Kuroshitsuji Tenipuri AU. TezRyo.  Tezuka as Sebastian and Ryoma as Ciel.  Based on episode 2 of the anime.

Rating: PG for violence.

Words: 3,436

Author's Note:  P-chan, here's your promised one-shot!  It didn't quite turn out how I wanted, and I'm not sure if it's exactly what you were after...  For everyone else, this was the prompt:  "Kuroshitsuji: Ryoma as master, Tezuka as butler. Ryoma trying to ruffle Tezuka up with his orders? See how much it takes before he cracks. "

HAPPY BIRTHDAY umarekawareru !  Hope you have a lot of fun in your pants~!

(Also, Akihiko/Minato fans, she wrote wonderful, wonderful smut, here.  (Though it's mature, so you have to be a member of paradox_fantasy to see it).   *___*  How is it that it's her birthday and we're the ones who get the present?)

In other news:



TOMATO CHIPS!  THEY ARE BACK!  YESSSSSSSSSSS.

All the guesses for Stalking the Angel (from three people, ahahaha) are in!

Congratulation to silverymare  - winner at 27/45 correct!  Due mostly to an incredibly accurate run on the Second and Third Movements.  P-chan, hit us with your prompts!  You can throw anything at me, Kaori-chan agreed to TezRyo only.  :D  (Or you could prompt two TezRyos, nothing stopping that!)

For the record, ankoku_tenshi got 23/45 correct and sillk  got 24/45 right.  Sillk, I'm terribly impressed at how your supposedly random guesses served you. :D  Thanks for taking the time to humour us~!

For anyone interested, this was the distribution of who wrote what:

( Incriminating evidence )

XD ...Why does nobody blame ka0richan for tragic things?

( Oh, apparently this is why )

Last Movement is now up here.

It was a terribly enjoyable, if self-indulgent, collaboration.  I must heap liberal praise upon ka0richan , as she did a much better job of matching my style than I did hers.  :D  Hope you've enjoyed it!  I'll be posting who wrote which parts in a couple of days, so you still have time to guess!  Now go read! \o/

If you live in a country with paper money, in a sort of oblique fashion, money does grow on trees.

Title: Stalking the Angel

Authors: sinnatious and ka0richan

Summary: TezRyo AU. Tezuka Kunimitsu, up-and-coming detective, is transferred to assist in a case of serial murders.

Rating: R

Authors' Notes: Thanks to everyone who has commented so far, hope you enjoy this part as well!

( Third Movement )

What is with this recent trend where I am using LJ to post things other than fanfiction?  Madness.  While I'm here, might as well talk about a cool J-rock gig that was on last night.

I don't normally go to gigs, as A. I am not that trendy and B. I have to take pretty good care of my hearing for work. But this gig has a story behind it.  I have something of a vendetta with this band.

Title: The Wheels of Shinra's Economy

Summary: FFVII Crisis Core.  Even after the events at Nibelheim, there are still missions to be done.

Rating: G

Words: 1,700

Author's Note:  Just a fun little one-shot, examining some of the logical fallacies of the mission system after certain points in the Crisis Core storyline.  Plus, I need something a bit silly to counteract all the angst this delightful fandom brings.
