[livejournal.com profile] yuletide fics are up! They've been up! (Except I've been sleeping! XD;; Well, not that long, but sleep and other things meant I didn't get around to reading until now).

I received three fantastic gifts! Thank you so much. ♥

Think Before You... (1197 words) by Anonymous
Fandom: Legend of the Sun Knight, 1/2 Wangzi | 1/2 Prince
Summary: Sun should know better than to poke around Pink's house.
My mind automatically filled in the last word of the title as "Think Before You Leap". XD; This is a super fun crossover between 1/2 Prince and Legend of Sun Knight. Sun's voice is so spot on! And the little details are to die for. :D Again, this is so, so fun.

A Strange Life (1347 words) by Anonymous
Fandom: NG Life
Summary: Loleus wakes up from a bad dream.
KL;ASDJF;ADJFLA;SK NG LIFE FIC. NG Life fic is like, super rare. And then, fic focused on Loleus is even rarer since he's not even a "main" character and not even alive as we only ever see him through flashbacks. This fic makes me love Loleus even more than before (I did not think that was possible) and left me feeling wistful but content at the same time.

The Continuing Record (5970 words) by Anonymous
Fandom: Double Arts
Summary: The record continues.
So, I stated in my Yuletide letter how I would looooove longfic. This fic is deliciously long, filled with little snippets of Elraine and Kiri's journey to headquarters, as well as what happens after they reach headquarters. All I could ever want in a continuation of Double Arts! The fic brings in a great cast, giving the spotlight to Fallan and Sui at parts too. It really felt like I was reading a continuation of the series. :D

*bites fingers about her own fics* Now I wish even more that I've written more, because anonymous fics and general squeeing is so much fun. :) I might attempt to write a bit more (later....?) which might mean whatever I come up with... will end up in the NYR collection. I don't think I'll make Madness in time. XD Or maybe I should just read and review. There is so much to read, and I've only gotten around to my own gifts so far. :)
Hi Yuletide writer!

First off, I apologize for the super long letter. Feel free to skip this entirely, as everything you need to know is already in my sign-ups! This is for...in case you are the type of writer who likes to know more. ;)

I hope this letter will be helpful for you rather than limiting! ♥ Please remember that optional details are optional, and let me tell you that I will be absolutely ecstatic to receive fic in any of the following tiny fandoms. Especially since these fandoms are so tiny that it's quite hard to fangirl about them (yet now I'll be receiving fic for one of them? amazing~!). My requests are all from manga this year, two shoujo and two shounen. I've provided information about each series in case you like to be adventurous.

To any passersby, I am very fond of treats. Yum. ;)

Again, I apologize for the super long letter. Optional details are optional, and the same goes for the entire letter! If you read through all of this...props to you! Please remember to have fun and to take what you want out of this and ignore whatever else isn't helpful for you~. Some series prompts are longer than others only because I have more headcanon for them than for the other series, but I'm just as excited about all the series!

When they finally reach the main headquarters... )
Double Arts ended. So unbelievably abrupt. It was the series I most looked forward to every week. The fighting style was unique (they can't ever let go of each other's hands, so they have to learn how to fight holding hands), and both main characters were likable. The supporting characters were fun too. I was even thinking of cosplaying as Elle (her new fighting outfit) but since the series ended so quickly, there's not even that much reference.

The ending just makes me want more. ):

Setting manga aside, I'm working towards getting all the secret reports for The World Ends with You. I'm not even 1/3 of the way through with that though. I'm taking a break from TWEWY now that I have Fire Emblem DS. I'm finally getting to know Marth as a character!!! Poor guy just keeps getting told to save himself while everyone else is sacrificing themselves since he's the hero who'll save them all. He looks pretty manly in the official drawing but the in game screens don't make him look that way. The sprites look better than I expected too. The bgm is awesome. Smash Brothers Melee really does have a great remix of the two main tracks. I'm kind of just blundering through the game at the moment. I don't know if there are supports in this game, or if there's the pushing or carrying units command. Those feel like such luxuries now that I don't have them! There is the option of changing a character's class type...I wonder how that works. I haven't tried yet.

I'm hoping that I'll meet more cool characters. :3 Units all have such weak magic defense (like none at all!), so Marik is easily blasting his way through everything with Fire.
