writing woes...

Okay so the Jiraiya scene for Teamwork is... sorta done. It needs lots of polishing, and some of it still seems iffy to me. Nngh. I'm letting it rest a bit.

In the meantime, I'd love to start the next scene.

Except I have no clue what it's gonna be about.

See, MY next planned scene is "applying the seal to Sakura, yay". And I have no clue whether it's alright to jump from a chatting scene with Jiraiya to that, directly. Following the characters too closely can become boring at time, but is there something I needed to adress that I didn't? Not a clue.

BAH.

In other news, I added four pages of fooling around to [livejournal.com profile] des_butterfly's porny threesome *snrk* "drabble". And once again, I let the hotness content rise... rise... and I arrive to the intercourse part of the deal and BAM! the characters start angsting, or bantering, and here comes another half-page of crack. NNNGH.


And then I go and wonder if this year I might try NaNoWriMo. Ahahahaha. Uh huh. Right. I'm gonna go far for sure. I don't even know what I would write about. XD



In other news, Gseed is teh sex, but I don't think I'll ever get into the fandom. The story is just too compact and complete for me to worm my way in, I don't really like to write about the big mechas and politics side of it but if I take it away it's not Gseed anymore, and besides, canon relationships take all the fun out of it. XD okay, if I could get my hands on Destiny and actually stomach it, I think I'd be way into LacusxMeer. Because... Because zomg that would be hot. Any recs? Heck, any recs of fics where Meer lives? ... where Fllay lives? I don't care about the pairing. *secretly ships AthrunCagalliKiraLacusMeerFllay~*

If the Teamwork thing is too hard to write, why not just end the chapter and have the applying seal thing in the next chapter? Maybe you just need a clean slate, a change of POV or something.

OMG, your icon is so pretty!!!

Um, recs... Gundam Seed: Entropy Rising (http://www.fanfiction.net/s/1889913/1/) is pretty good. I haven't been able to make myself read the sequel, though, 'cause, well, Kira torture... *wince* Not that Kira torture isn't *canon*, 'cause hell, the whole series is Kira torture. *sweatdrop* Fllay is still dead in these, though. Sorry.

Hmm. My observation about Seed fandom is that, statistically speaking, it's composed entirely of people the same physical age as the main characters.

In other words, it's full of clueless brats.

One of the exceptions to that rule wrote what I think is the single best fic to come out of the fandom yet - Respect Between Enemies (http://www.fanfiction.net/s/2712528/1/). The earliest chapters can be a hair rough, and it's centered on original characters rather than the canon cast, but it's a lovely relationship piece and an excellent and fascinating piece of worldbuilding with occaisional explosions.

I haven't seen Destiny, yet, but from what I've heard it sounds like you could hunt down a detailed summary for the plot, watch a couple fansubbed eps for the character voices, and then go merrily on your way writing about it without anybody being able to tell the difference.

I sort of see where you're coming from about SEED. My big fic planned for it takes place in an alt timeline where Fllay lives and doesn't go nuts (but has to deal with the fact that in the "real" timeline, she did go nuts, and that she always had the potential for it).

I'm also vaguely pondering an idea about the OT4 actually becoming an OT4, along with the attendant relationship drama, but I don't reeeeally want to write just about the relationships; I'd like to have some other plot in there as well, and I'm not sure what.

Plus some ideas about a sentient Haro accidentally trapping Kira in a fantasy world, or Fllay living at the end and almost winding up in a threesome with Kira and Lacus, or...*flail*

(I don't have many ideas for Mwu/Murrue even though they are OTP for me, simply because they were so perfect in canon. Everything else left enough gaps that they feel fair game to me.)

...I still say just start something new for NaNoWriMo. Possibly something with alien mermaids. 9.9

But funny porn is the best! :3 I think so anyway.

On the teamwork front, is there any interaction between Sakura and her parents needed? *can't remember exactly where they all stood at the moment* Or the 'Naruto gets around to telling some of his friends about Kyuubi' thing? Can't really think of anything else at the moment. Who's chapter is next anyway?

You forgot to... uh... make them have sex again! :P

D: It's almost done??!! Hey, wasn't there supposed to be some lovin' going on in this one?

You're finishing Teamwork already!? Good for you! But I am going to miss getting to read new chapters.

The sealing scene and the sex scene?

...

Kinky.

Gseed wins at life. I should really be working on my 'coordinators are sexier than naturals' icon but... bleh. -lazy-

Destiny is terrible. I can't believe I actually paid for it. I think they have some episodes up on YouTube.

Well that sucks. Hopefully someone will post Eternity when it comes out (THIS MONTH! -ded of squee-)

I love GSeed to pieces, also a fan of the OT4 but I'm not in the fandom or read any of its fics. Mostly because from my romp in Wing, there are only two types of Gundam fics, relationship and more relationships. I like the canon relationship as is and really have no desire for fics. I also admit I watched Gundam for it's politics.

I think Camp gave us all the plot points (if you follow the pilots as well) when they were playing when Destiny was still airing. Also, I liked Camp's version of the characters better, more crack filled and less with the angst.
