Oh hey, look, I wrote a piece for a fic I haven't touched in...a year and a half. Gosh, I feel bad even trying to return to this fic. It's still giving me the same problems...it's entirely AU for starters. I discovered since writing this that I personally don't like reading AUs that are completely different from canon. I adore AUs that explore things that might have happened differently...but AUs that plop the characters in entirely new roles are just not for me (ie: high school AUs). Hah, so I'm wondering what the heck I was thinking when I started this fic!

My characterization for Hao in this fic really makes me cringe. Everyone seems to be a bit...flat. I think I'm a bit too far out of touch with the series. I haven't read it in ages (and I only ever read it once 0____0;). But anyway, I decided that I'm not going to stress too much about that or else it'll end up not being fun writing this silly thing.

Hm, I heard that Shaman King is getting released again? Though, it won't be until 2009 until we see the real ending, yeah? Well, I'll be glad to finally see the end of the fight. Haha, I kept getting sidetracked while writing this...I ended up listening to a bunch of manga dramas, one of them being the drama for Kimi to Boku. I hadn't known about the manga, but the drama was very cute.

I mentioned a Japanese speech contest in the last post. I wasn't part of the top five or anything (saaaaad) but I was very lucky. I won the lucky raffle. (I was joking before the event that I'd never win anything like a raffle...but I guess I was wrong!) ^^;; Round-trip ticket from SF to Tokyo!!! Though, I'd never go by myself or anything. Hopefully I can convince someone to go with me next summer.

Also, anyone going to Fanime and want to pay together? My friend is looking for people to do group registration with so that they'd get a group discount. I've already paid though...so I couldn't help out with that.



My goal of writing miscellaneous stuff to total 50k this month isn't going so well at the moment. Only 4%... ^^;; But anyway, today's update is for Twin Stars, a Shaman King AU, idol universe. For au100.

I'm pretty much out of the SK fandom by now, but I really wanted motivation for finishing that AU I started...my gosh, year '04! This is going to give me incentive to continue it, I hope.

Yes, and I'm cheating and using parts I've written already, but there's still a long ways to go anyway.

So, this is my overall table for Shaman King (general series) for [livejournal.com profile] au100. ^^;;

the big damn table )
