For blood_opal. A belated 'happy birthday!' because I love you and you are so good to me. I'm sorry it's not better than it is--I'm just unhappy with everything I write lately and it was either post this or trash it.

( ThumbleMiya )

I just really feel like I can't write at all lately. Which is bad because I have je_holiday to do. ACK. ONE MONTH. So, again, I gave myself five minutes and told myself to just write whatever the hell I could.

WARNING: CHARACTER DEATH.

( Shine on )

Firstly:Happy anniversary, Arashi!
Thank you for all that you've given me--joy and hope and courage and friends. Thank you for pulling me and my family closer together as we sing along (badly! in bad Japanese!) with you. Thank you for loving me even though we'll never meet. More than anything my wish for all of you this year is your happiness--no matter how sunburnt or girl-kissed that might be. Be happy, Arashi! I love you!


I am SO that fan.

Moving on: This was my entry for HallowShoneen as well as a fic for tangiblewhimsy.

( The Fairy Queen )

I just really can't write at all lately. ;__; I actually just wanted to let you all know that there is still time to write for shoneenclub's contest--several hours, as a matter of fact!
HALLOWSHONEEN

Now, for a fic I wrote in five minutes based on an old prompt from 31_days.

( Not Even Roses )

A quick reminder that shoneenclub's contest ends tonight. Details of said contest can be found here:
HALLOWSHONEEN

Moar fic plz.


(PS. Once you write fic, go over to flange5's journal. She has been making awesome posts.)

Working full time takes it toll on fic writing (and so many other things)so I haven't been around much. I miss being around and I miss writing. So I sat down and did a five minute fic just to do something.

Before the fic, however, comes another family Arashi moment!

My husband just got a new cellphone at work. He was showing it off in the car when our daughter, Faith, (who was sitting right behind me as I drove) called him. His ringtone? 5x10. That's right. My husband made himself an Arashi ringtone and he used 5x10. I was overwhelmed with love.

Me: *speechless*

Him: *defensively* What?

Me: My heart.


And now a five minute fic.

( Falling )



Finally: HALLOWSHONEEN

HALLOWSHONEEN

If Nino ends up at Thumbelina it is all Erin's fault. (He'd be so tiny! And cute! And Sho would be so smitten! Because omg! Tiny!Nino! Pocket-sized!Nino! O.M.G.!) Which is to say that I might or might not be writing for this contest. I DO have less than two months to do my je_holiday fic. *cue flailing*

Now for a fic I wrote in an hour! My creativity feels so weak and my desire to write, too, seems very far away. So I wrote just to write something before I have to go to work.

( Maou/RnK crossover fic )

Apparently when I say 'later tonight' I mean 'the next day, after I pass out for thirteen hours straight and then have to play catch-up with household chores'. But here! Have the rest of that meme!

Day 7: whatever tickles your fancy Peach flavored pig-placenta! And other horrifying soft drinks from around the world! I love you, flange5.


Finally, an image that came to mind while listening to Jillian, the five-year-old, sing along with Arashi:

Ohno crawled on to the couch, clambering over Nino to reach his spot. "Kazu no mukou e," he said triumphantly.


Now, off to work with me. While I'm there, somebody please tell me that NaNoWriMo is a bad, bad idea.

Day 4: a site Rifftrax. They don't make movies--they make fun of them! This is the crew from MST3K--Mike Nelson, the head writer and host; Kevin Murphy, the voice of Tom Servo; and Bill Corbett, the (second) voice of Crow. They are hilarious. I love what they did with 'Batman: The Dark Knight' and 'Twilight'. ♥

Day 3: a book/ebook/fanfic If I tried to make a fanfic rec list it would be a disaster--nothing but mad flailings at the keyboard and heavy on my flist (because you're awesome!) so instead I'm going to recommend a book that I truly love. It's Only Companion: Japanese poems of Love and Longing. I love the traditional waka poetry. Love.

And now for the meme that everybody else is doing! (AKA: The 'my flist is awesome' meme.)

For one week, recommend / share:
Day 1: a song I always feel like I'm on the low end of the 'has music to share' scale because, well, I'm old and I live in Wisconsin and I liked Arashi for the music before anything else. But I DO have things to share and get you hooked on, oh yes! MU, MF The song called 'Iron Man' and is by Color Band. It's from the Black & White soundtrack. Here, have the main theme, too! MU, MF.

If you need another format or there's a problem with the links let me know and I will fix it/re-up it when I get home from work. Also: Dear to F-list. I love you all. You make my life so much better.

I wrote a small HYD/Maou crossover in my head while I was mowing the lawn. Then I typed it up and if you click the cut you can put it in your brain!

( To Loss )

Black & White is going to have a sequel! In movie form! I'm only ten episodes in due to a lot of real life but Black & White is awesome. I am a lot in love with it and I know for a FACT that there will be sex in later episodes. I really wish I had more time in the day so that I could huff this like Dreamer.

So, to celebrate, have a drabble-ish thing.

( Black & White Drabble )

It's my first day off in two weeks and I have a ton of stuff to write. So, instead, the first five (or possibly ten) people get a 100 word (round aboutly, that is) drabble. Leave me a name and/or pairing, and a prompt--words, pictures, songs, whatever.

1: Bones' FML life for lazulisong

2: Score one for the fangirl!Sho for blood_opal

3: Drunken Arashi Love Sho for inuhariko

4: Nino loves Sho for swan_song37

5: No YTM for flange5

6: Guitar Hero/Nino OTP for gimmick_game

7: Sakumoto crushes for tangiblewhimsy

8: A bit of Holic for akayalovesyaoi

9: Merlin and Arthur have a chat for starsystems

10: Yamapair love bubbles for font

I'm supposed to be doing the laundry before I get ready for work. But something in my med combo seems to be making me randomly twitchy. Like, a lot. So I tried to write to see if it would go away. And this happened. ( I blame Meg! And Becky. But mostly Meg! )

Yay, deadfic! Today I am irritated so I am kicking this thing off my computer. I was going to write a whole, long fic where Ohno moved except...well, that's been done and been done brilliantly. It doesn't actually have the Ohmiya in it at all, either! orz Fic hurts me in my thinking place.

( Onward, to the deadfic! )
