I posted my exchange fic for xiahwase over at funpotexchange. Will be archiving it here in this journal too, probably within the week! Would love any feedback about the fic~

♥ Hametsu; Ruin and Salvation (Prince of Tennis, Tezuka/Ryoma, 4,480 words)
AU, high fantasy. There existed many races in the land of Zenkoku, one of which was the mamono, a cruel and heartless race that was born to rule. However, they had one fatal weakness -- their hametsu, a single person they could not bring themselves to harm. Some said a mamono's hametsu was their downfall and never wished to meet them, while others claimed the opposite, that they could not live without their hametsu. But really, Ryoma understood none of this.

( some thoughts behind writing the fic )

I still have a lot more fics from other people to read and comment on. So many stories went up around the same time! So many amazing fics and artwork!

I'm also very behind with a lot of online stuff, including TCG and fanbook. Busy week ahead of me though, so my responses will still be slow. The aim is still a May 5th release for Colors though!

Went to watch The Hunger Games last weekend. My heaaaart. Now I want to read the books, except I have A Game of Thrones to finish first. (I haven't gotten far with it yet). I ended up browsing Wikipedia about The Hunger Games. I didn't read too closely, but I still spoiled myself quite a bit.

I've also been slowly reading Ooku, a manga series I borrowed from gem2niki. It's fairly different from what I usually read. Series is about an alternate Japan where a disease killed off most of the men, so women ended up taking over men's positions. Ooku, which is a harem of women serving the shogun, is a harem of men serving a female shogun in this series. The story-telling is interesting... it doesn't focus on any single character but rather follows relevant people through history, so certain characters get the spotlight for a volume or so before a new character is featured.

funpotexchange has started posting! \o/ The fic I wrote completely slayed me. I was aiming to write one pairing, but the result turned out to be a completely different pairing because to get to the pairing I planned to write would have taken three times the length of the current fic. I'm not completely pleased with how the fic turned out (it feels very awkward to me, and more telling than showing...) but I hope it still has its redeeming points. :3;; I liked the idea a lot, so I might even flesh it out some more in the future with a focus on different characters in the same universe. I can't wait to see what other people have written, and what my gift will be! :D

Mm, Sket Dance~. I was looking forward to a new opening this week, but there was no opening! Did they not make it in time? XD;; I'm excited that there'll be another year of Sket Dance~. Housuke (an owl) was so cute in episode 52! As for new anime, I watched the first episode of Uchuu Kyoudai and Hiiro no Kakera. Haven't watched the first episode of Kimi to Boku season 2 yet. Gonna watch more stuff before I report back about them!

I'm still playing catch up with colors_tcg. Next will be fanbook. :x And then writing more of Bittersweet Sweetness!

But before that, have some scans! My previous photos of these were terrible, so I scanned them all instead. First up is Legend of Sun Knight scans.


SO this was Adair! I laughed so much when I actually saw this in full size because I totally thought he was holding a shield... except he's actually holding blueberry pie. And saying "Captain, I managed to buy your blueberry pie!"

( ridiculous amount of LSK scans )
