Ahaha, my paid account expired while I wrote this.

My year-in-fic! Like every year, I ended up writing a lot less than I'd have liked. I only managed one of my writing resolutions I made for 2010, and that was writing for yuletide. I also realized a few things about my writing (or more like, was reminded of a few things...), and the number one thing is...

- I cannot write without deadlines. The things I wrote this year were almost all for fic exchanges, or they had self-imposed deadlines. (And then there was NaNo with one of the toughest deadlines!)

Maybe I should set more self-imposed deadlines for myself.

( fics in chronological order )

( actual fic meme, this is probably more interesting than my rambling above )

Durarara!!
After not following Durarara!! since the 1st episode, I gave it another watch and basically watched all the episodes that were out. XD; I should have been working on finishing my cosplay. I only have 3 days left!! I still need to organize stuff to sell too...I'll be throwing most of the Durarara!! extras I got from the G Fantasy magazines in my pile to sell at the Swap Meet for Fanime. Figured I should watch more of it before selling everything off. XD; While DRRR!! is very gripping and has some pretty fascinating storytelling, I don't have a favorite favorite character, but I'll still be anticipating how everything turns out. There are quite a few characters I'm fond of though! I should totally take out all my past issues of G Fantasy and read the DRRR!! manga from the start. XD; I think I'm only missing the first issue it started running in.

I was also very amused when all this talk about color gangs came up. colors_tcg wasn't inspired by that, okay? XD;

Oofuri
This season, I've been following Ookiku Furikabutte Natsu no Taikai Hen, Giant Killing, and Kaichou wa Maid-sama! Oofuri is still pretty charming. I don't remember Mihashi having such troubles with communication though, haha! I've only been screencapping Hama-chan like crazy every time he shows up. Too bad he doesn't have that much screen time.

Giant Killing
Giant Killing was surprising. XD; I've never heard of it before! I'm refraining from reading any of the manga while this is airing. But wow, two sports anime for me this season. I like Giant Killing since the main character's the coach for the soccer team instead of a player. He's also fairly hard to fathom. XD; I really think he should communicate with his team more though. I was recently reading Last Inning, a baseball manga where the main character is the coach for the team and expected to help the team win (otherwise they'll get disbanded after a year). Giant Killing reminded me of that manga!

Kaichou wa Maid-sama!
Huh, I'm liking this adaption of the manga. :3 Their green and yellow uniform stands out SO much. I didn't get the impression that their uniform was supposed to be these colors, but after looking at the color pages of the manga...wow, they really are green and yellow. But they're not such bright green and yellow in the manga. XD; Anyway, I thought the anime style looked weird at first, but now I'm liking it. I absolutely loved the short little part with "Misaki-kun". I hope the eating contest happens too. :D The anime does the SD faces pretty well!

Now that my download of Tenimyu has finished, I shall be off. |D

Well, I don't know who would want to use these, but anyway, I asked silver_lined to buy me these adorable Oofuri keychains. They have huge heads. XD Not much of a post since I really should be cramming instead...JPLT test in 2 DAYS. I'm so not going to pass at this rate.

♥ 6 Ookiku Furikabutte icons
♥ 1 Zero no Tsukaima icon

Teaser:


( only 6 icons )

Forgive me for the ugly green background. It's my notebook that I'm writing all my Japanese notes in. X3; Oh, and the random Zero no Tsukaima icon? Made it for the Halloween challenge for anime_lj_tcg, but I forgot to turn it in when my cousin came over. -_-; I don't remember if I ever finished the icon, but oh well, here it is. I slapped it on with this post since I rarely ever make icon posts.

Oofuri being one of my top favorites at the moment, I made a moodtheme for it. ♥ I still can't let go of my Corda moodtheme though D:

~flails~

My paid account expired today. ):

Thank you, disutansu and mklutz for the paid account time. I had lots of fun with it, though I didn't use everything that I could have...like voiceposts and scrapbook. I didn't know what would happen to icons after the expiration, so I went and deleted some icons in case those were the ones that were kept...and it turns out that I can still see the inactive icons? (makes me wish I hadn't deleted some of the others...) Though, I found it strange which icons were kept active...the last two I haven't used much at all.

( Ookiku Furikabutte 20...just one screencap )

Since I'm on the topic of Oofuri...here's some hilarious Oofuri videos that I've been watching on nicovideo. I wish there were some Over Drive ones as well, but no such luck... D:

-Oofuri versions of various anime openings (Azumanga, Ouran, Zetsubou Sensei...)

-Furi Star. Lucky Star opening parody. There's a lot of versions out there. This one's class 7, so no Mihashi. ):

-Oofuri x Tokimeki Memorial GS. The dialogue from the series WORKS so well. X3;;

-Oofuri Rhyme. Oofuri as a bishoujo game...I've seen Busou Renkin and Tenipuri and lots of other versions of this too. X3;;

-Ookiku Furikaburenai Ball 1. Tweaking the anime so that stuff happens differently...it's quite mean sometimes. My favorite is one of the later ones where Mihashi went to look at Nishiura's baseball field, all the while thinking "I'm just going to take a look...just a look..." and the video shows him doing just that and walking away. XDDD THE END. Since, he went to take a look and then left...which means nothing happened afterwards. ^^;; Whoever made this has fourteen of these out so far.

-Oofuri and Gyagu Manga Biyori. This one's a parody of the seal episode. X3;;

-Mihashi and Tajima wearing different outfits. The outfits fit them so much. Mostly. Like the Naruto and One Piece ones, for example. X3;;;
