lucathiaSo many changes have been implemented recently over at ffnet. I was hoping this latest suggestion wouldn't actually get implemented (I saw it suggested in one of the blog entries), but it did get implemented. Stories are now sortable by review count, amount of favorites, and amount of follows, which are now visible to everyone. I feel so exposed. =x
But well, I immediately went and tried the new sorting. I am curious to see where my stories would end up. Amazingly, Hoshi ga Hoshii desu is the story with the most reviews over at the Shaman King section. /o\ I really should...go back and edit some of the glaring errors in this fic. OTL I remember that back then, the ability to follow individual stories hadn't been implemented yet, so I was mostly getting follows for my entire account, haha... The other highly reviewed fics seem mostly of the romance genre. I wonder if that's the case with other fandoms too. Most likely...
I don't like feeling so exposed. ): I think I wouldn't mind as much if the information just wasn't visible, but the sorting could still happen. (An option for hiding the info?) Perhaps as a reader I would feel differently...so I went and tried the sorting out with the Avengers and Thor section, which is most of what I've been reading lately. Haha, I've pretty much read all the most reviewed/favorited/followed fics about Loki. OTL Clearly I've been reading too many Loki fics... I suppose this would help me with finding initial fic to read for new fandoms I get into... but uuughhhh, as a writer, I am definitely panicking.
*tries the sorting with Harry Potter* Yup, I've read most of these too. OTL
If this is here to stay... well, I hope I get used to it. =/
Anyway, onto funner stuff. Yu Wo plurked two more questions addressed to the Legend of Sun Knight characters. Translation below the cut~. (These two aren't spoilerish for where we are currently in the translations. One is addressed to Neo and Aldrizzt, and the other to Earth).
this plurk: http://www.plurk.com/p/gubbri
Q: Neo Sun, compared with your previous lifestyle back at the Holy Temple, what part of your lifestyle as an adventurer gives you the most trouble?
Neo: The part that gives me the most trouble is "where is this."
Q: Aldrizzt, has anything changed regarding what troubles you the most in your lifestyle as an adventurer, before and after meeting Neo? Can you give us specifics?
Aldrizzt: Yes, there was a change. Before meeting Neo, what troubled me the most was getting chased [and killed] by my clan. After meeting Neo, things that trouble me are actually quite numerous, but the matter that troubles me the most is probably frequently having to prevent Neo from killing other people.
(Lucathia: Neo. XD;;; Damn, now I want to write Neo and Aldrizzt again...)

Q: Georgo Earth, will you die from exhaustion in the end?
Georgo: I-I'd like to die like that! I-If only... Can I stop stuttering?
Feel free.
Georgo: If only that bastard Sun stopped hindering me, I would be able to die from exhaustion really soon, and gloriously meet the God of Light!
Q: So have you ever successfully (beeeep) without Grisia's disturbance?
Georgo: Of course!
Q: What age were you when you succeeded for the first time?
Georgo: ...next question!
(By "exhaustion," it was more referring to using up his essence/vitality *cough* from too much sex)
(Lucathia: *face plants* Geoooorgo. You totally twisted that question! Ceo's answer would have been completely different... OTL Now I'm imagining a whole league of kids that Georgo fathered... OTL. Mothers trying to get Georgo to acknowledge his kids...haha... but how could he be the father when he's the honest Earth Knight, right? Oh dear, I might want to write this. I wonder if Georgo is embarrassed about his age when he succeeded, or if he really hasn't ever succeeded and just doesn't want to admit it...)
Oh, Neko Kreuz (artist for the LSK manhua) and Rippleless (artist for LSK merchandise as well as non official LSK doujinshi) have been plurking some drawings~.

Re: KuwaNeko
Date: 2012-07-17 05:14 pm (UTC)mm, in Record of a Fallen Vampire
'Requiem' by Seinakyou. really, really sad, but nice
and there are also a bunch from ncfan (I belive I only didn't like one)
in Planet Survival
'Accepting His Revelation' by Muffytaj
'He wasn't blind' by 'Kalaria Sword'
'The Graveyard Shift' by daybreakstones
they're all KaoruxLuna (not that I'm complaining), but there really isn't much to choose from
'Nena Camadera' has some really good stories in the Ah! My Goddess! section (mostly Urd or Mara centric)
'Ms. Zeal' has some in both YYH and Rurouni Kenshin
'Graphospasm' also has some in YYH, though most of her's feature OC's (and romance) she manages to make her stories so interesting that I ended up not caring
'Uneven Odds' by Le'letha a YYH Armageddon fic, (in which the tantei loose), really good, first part finished, sadly it's been in hiatus since 2007...
'The Best Defense' and 'A Good Offense'(sequel, hiatus since 2010) by JoIsBishMyoga, both YYH, Harry Potter xovers, AU from 5th year onwards where Genkai, the tantei and friends (Yukina, Keiko and Botan) get sent to Hogwarts to teach/study/protect everyone
-----
I entered your page to reply to your previous comment and saw the new plurk translations, and then came to reread your comment and reply.
and then I read where you say it'd be 'fun to write a story where he gets utterly lost'
and I thought, 'that's a good plot-bunny'.
plot-bunnies are scary dangerous creatures... this one turned around, and bit me...
so I sat down and started typing until I finished (and he let me go...). so, yeah, I just wrote it...
XD, glad you liked it. of course Chasel is worried, lol, he must be thinking 'what did Neo do this time'. lol. also, Chasel does seems more laid-back (than Lesus), and speaking to Sun's vice-Captain, I supposed he would let the facade slip a little
'no, not one reason, 'one person''
Hahahahahahahah. XDDDD
^w^ it's Neo... there is sure to be a mountain full of crazy, headache inducing things he must have done... after all, he's given his vice-Captain reasons to tattletale him...
I had to keep reminding myself that this vice-captain shouldn't be as awesome as Adair; he kept trying to do everything...
Initially I had thought to make it three days, but... considering Neo can easily run for an entire day.... and that he is pretty sure not to stay in a single place... I thought three days would be to fast...
I had also considered the vice-Captain reporting that Neo had been missing for three days already... but.... knowing his sense of direction, I really doubt they wouldn't try to keep at least a pair of eyes on Neo, so they would have noticed earlier
I'd also thought of having Chasel call a meeting to plan the search, but... again, knowing Neo... this wouldn't be the first time... and thus they must have already made a plan...
Re: KuwaNeko
Date: 2012-07-18 07:34 am (UTC)Thanks for the recs. I haven't read anything in those sections, so they'll be a treat (hopefully) to explore. I quite enjoy Ms Zeal's YYH fics and her Rurouni Kenshin ones as well. The Best Defense was also very enjoyable!
Hehe, I find Neo getting lost to be completely hilarious. He doesn't seem the kind to easily admit being lost either. More like, he'd just brush it off? XD
Yup, plotbunnies can be ferocious... I know that well...so many things I want to write, but I don't write nearly quickly enough.
I can see Chasel as being a little more laid-back than Lesus. :D Though he probably has more behind the scenes things he needs to worry about, since Neo probably didn't take care of any underhanded schemes that might have been directed at them, unlike how Grisia has all that well in hand. But since even the Sun Knight vice-captain listens to Chasel... he seems to have a lot of control. XD
I wonder how Neo's vice-captain even managed to stay alive. XDDD Tattletaling on Neo? That must take a lot of guts...
Haha, there can't be that many awesome Adairs around. XDDD Hm, but Neo's vice-captain would have to be fairly competent too, I would think, if he has to keep up with Neo...
Hm, yeah, Neo is fairly conspicuous too, so I bet someone would have noticed if Neo did already go missing for three days!
This makes me want to write Chasel a lot. XDD
Re: KuwaNeko
Date: 2012-07-18 07:36 pm (UTC)---
yeah, when finally found, he'd probably act as if he'd been traveling with him all along...
plot-bunnies usually never attack me, but damn if they don't bite hard when they do...
yeah, Neo seems more like one to bulldoze his way through big/obvious problems... then again, he did figure the princesses intentions quite easily, he must have dealt with at least some...
probably because Neo knew he'd get in to waaaay to much trouble with Chasel if his vice-Captain ended up dead... he still would have needed a looot of guts though. XD
Re: KuwaNeko
Date: 2012-07-19 01:27 am (UTC)Hahahaha, oh definitely, Neo would get into a lot of trouble if his vice-captain came to harm.... Chasel would never allow that to happen. Good thing for the vice-captain. XD
