homestuck -- characterization help needed
Fri, Feb. 3rd, 2012 10:33It's for the Hippie Commune fic (ie back to the garden.) Aradia is going to have a pretty big part next chapter and I have realized that I have no idea how she sounds, the rhythm of her speech and her vocabulary and her usual moods. (she is not stuck in a robot and dead anymore, so I gather she ought to have SOME.)
I'll be looking through logs I can find via the HS wiki, but if anyone has advice or knows of good fic out there with good Aradia voices for inspiration I'll also be very grateful.
I'll have to see how well I manage Sollux and Feferi for that same scene, but they shouldn't be half as hard. D: Still I haven't really paid as much attention to canon and read much fic where those characters took center stage so I haven't internalized them as much, I really hope the POVs will work. @_@;
(btw I love the Aradia/Sol/Fef tangle. No outsider knows who's matesprits/moirails with who, it's hilarious. XD)

Sun, Jan. 29th, 2012 10:57Daemoninwhite made me the most hilarious thing for Back to the Garden. XD

... I cried tears of blood I was laughing so hard.
This in no way whatsoever misrepresents what the fic is about, by the way.

So I was reading this AWESOME crossover between Generation Kill (which I have not watched) and A Companion to Wolves, which is a nordic fantasy AU that is... also kind of Pern but with huge wolves instead of dragons. (The fic is basically about a company of Marines who each have their own wolves; I read it almost like an ofic and it pinged all my buttons like crazy anyway.) So there I was, trying to tell myself I was not allowed to come up with ANOTHER gundam wing AU where the boys have speshul animals, I have the Gundams As Dragons 'verse and the Daemon AU already seriously overkill or what.
But. Wolves! Psychic imprinting! Pack bonding! WOLVES!
But no bad Asuka, too many fics about psychic pack bonding or wolves or both already.
BUT THEN SUDDENLY A 'FEST.
It's almost like an excuse. @__@
So um I still don't know if I'll participate in that contest thinger, but I
edit for silliness:
Askerian: Duo's wolf is named Killer.
Askerian: oh, Duo.
Askerian: he named him when he was eight and the wolf was a puppy and he had no idea how big they got okay XD he thought it was funny!
Askerian: suddenly, wolf that comes up to his chest.
Askerian: less ironic.
Saro Lynne: ...PFFFFFF
Askerian: >:D
Askerian: now when he calls to him in the street people hide their children.
Askerian: duo: *... is an asshole, so is still amused*
Homestuck - Back to the Garden - chpt1 part 2/2

This one's less actionny.

This one's less actionny.
Karkat wasn't kidding about the sun and how it can kill you. There's a metric fuckton layers of leaves between you and the sky, and apparently the only thing it does is make things like a well-lit sauna. Standing in direct sunlight would probably microwave you alive in under fifteen minutes.

So that's the post-game multipart where the 12 trolls and 4 humans live together in a big hippie commune that also happens to come across as the equivalent of a medieval castle and they accidentally become the de facto Lord Protectors of the area or some shit.
-(I have my favorites, but) Ensemble cast.
-Except I'm pretending Roxy and Dirk and Jane and Jack don't exist. Sorry guys I love you but I don't know you well enough to write you.
-Some violence but nothing horribly graphic. And atm everyone's too busy to be anything but chaste.
-The pairings oh god. I'm vaguely tempted to go all the way down the hippie commune route and just throw everyone in a pile... It'll depend on character interaction. The only established couples so far are the canon moirallegiances and Rose♥Kanaya, because who doesn't like snarky classy lesbians, seriously. Also Dave=>Terezi. Some other couples are hinted at because I'm a ho, but they might or might not work out in the end.
PLEASE LOEV ME. ;^;

You have no clue how old you really are. It's all tick tock tick tock in your head nonstop and you can feel the eons left to this universe (a truly righteous shitload of 'em, we're talking mucking truck carrying three bazillion farms' worth of horse manure here) and the eons past (all the weight of history, ages upon moldy, dusty ages that didn't exist during your yesterday.)
You are technically older than this universe. You don't know if that makes you any older than sixteen.
"Strider!"
Oh right, zombies.

Someone grabbed "askerian" on tumblr.
Sad!
And they don't even use it, it's an empty account!
DOUBLE SAD.
Here I was, finally giving in. (mostly so i can follow blogs, that reblogging thing gets a bit on my nerves in principle and i still don't friggin' get how to hold a CONVERSATION in that place but aaaaa so many shiny things to keep track of T__T) and i can't give in because my name is taken. aaaaaaa.
Oh well whatever. It's probably providence. XD
edit: okay, fine, i give. http://asukaskerian.tumblr.com . THAT OTHER ASKERIAN IS A FAAAAAKE. XD
I am going to post absolutely NOTHING there I am not posting on LJ too, and possibly a great deal less since I think i'm mostly gonna use it for Homestuck fanworks. Also I hate reblogs so... yeah.
*feels weak anyway T^T*

FF7 silliness
Sat, Jan. 21st, 2012 07:19So I have this habit of naming my ff7 fics after materias, if i can get away with. This prompted a friend to wonder what each story would be like if I wrote them all.
Have some summaries of stories I will never write. XD
( oh god so many why )
Have some summaries of stories I will never write. XD
( oh god so many why )
um yeah .__.
Wed, Jan. 18th, 2012 16:41First things first, Crossed Wires is officially discontinued.
Sorry guys. Story died and refused to stick around à la zombie, no matter how many times I tried to raise it. That'll learn me to write when I don't have a plot in mind. What I had were a bunch of random ideas, but they never gelled together to form an overarching arc with a definite middle and end in sight, and then I lost interest. Sasubot is adorable, but. idk.
I'll still be willing to write drabbles in this 'verse for any sequel/prequel/genderbending/whatev' memes, but the main fic is officially dead.
You guys know how I get all "rar don't nag me about the next chapter of xfic!!! >E" ?
This is the official "what happened to X?" amnesty post. (please still remember the difference between "aw, i want/ed to see more of X" and "how could you not give me X!".) If the fic is abandoned or unlikely to be continued I'm even willing to spoil the hell out of the planned plot to people who request it. Eh, why not.

On AO3
On the Kink Meme
Original prompt.
This was for a prompt that, translated from Homestuckese into plain english, is basically "asexual BFFs 'porn' plz!" only the actual prompt was more like "okay the trolls are stuck on a meteor for a year or three so they don't have internet so they don't have PORN so they start kinda watching each other." Since this is about the BFF relationship (moirallegiance AKA pale quadrant AKA the one where your buddy keeps you from losing your shit) and not either lovesex or hatesex, it's not actually porny or naughty or all that kinky. For human values of such. Okay where was I going with that.
-I hate writing Sol's lisp, let's pretend he still lacks a few teeth and only uses it when stressed out and not paying attention. Yes. Let's.
-Some kind of Veil limbo where all trolls are alive (again?) yet Gamzee and Karkat are already together somehow. Don't think about it too hard.
-for supposedly genfic, this has a bit of a voyeur/exhib vibe going on. Just saying.
~3 000 words.
( Of course he'd caught the little glances. Sneaky or not, they'd been going on for perigees now; he would have had to be blind, and also to be hit on the head with something heavy and not skull-friendly. )

Not very good at all. Actually, almost 6 000 words less than last month. Then again I was distracted by trying to read my way through a 5000+ pages webcomic and all the fic I could read for it on AO3 and the kink meme both, which took up about two solid weeks of nonstop binge. (I am now all caught up and really frustrated that there is now a lack of fic to binge on, btw.) Anyway it took up a lot of time I should have been using to write other things. Also I spent like two weeks of THAT trying to convince myself I wasn't gonna write anything for it and thus avoiding writing anything at all. Oh self. orz

-FF7: Steal: Howdy Neighbor (1 449 words)
-Homestuck: Shameless Dave/Karkat Porn. (3 268 words) orz

-Homestuck post-scratch hippie commune on Alter-alternia thing that also looks like it'll be hella long, the heck (697 words that i'll probably have to throw away because it doesn't work and also ew infodumps)
-... that's it? oh self what D: no, bad self. bad. (still hoping homestuck'll do a DCMK on me and be like the whirlwind romance that leaves me dazed and satisfied and entirely ready to go back to my steady boyfriends tyvm. that fandom is crack, i swear. in every sense of the word.)

Ofic -- Territoriality v.2 - part 1
Wed, Dec. 28th, 2011 21:51That's the start of what I wrote for NaNo and while I like some parts better than the old version, some other parts really need rewritten for flow and conciseness and general clarity. (also later on I'll need a military-type person to tell me wtf i'm messing up that can't be accounted for by "hey, parallel universe with divergent history", and also a shrink though the psychiatrist doesn't show up in this part anyway.) There's more written, but I'll post it later. I still don't know if I'll keep writing this version or do a third, different start... um, whenever I figure out how it's supposed to work, that is. Damn but I'm really not used to making several drafts.

proanon wrote part 1 of an Avatar/Stargate crossover, starring Toph and Zuko and Janet and Sam, and it's full of beautiful, beautiful kung-fu-flick action and delicious language barrier issues. Y'all should love on it and come join me in waiting adoringly for more.

I should be writing but I can't decide what to write on. You guys know what this means! :D
Tell me about a story I haven't written, and I'll give you between one and three sentences from that story.
Knowing me someone might win the Asuka-lottery and it might end up being a whole epic in four books, each of which comes complete with three sidefics each, but. Yeah. Drabble length's the goal.
in LJ related news, I'm on Dreamwidth. Same account name everyhere.
(I don't really want to discuss it, it's been discussed everywhere on my Flist in the last days, but just in case some people haven't heard about it yet: new comment pages suck blahblah when given criticism about said pages person in charge's reply was basically a hahaha deal with it blahblah some people are having their automatic payments renewed without their knowledge please check yours blahblah.
It really sucks that this is all happening now because I was really starting to miss my 130+ icons (how do people DEAL with only thirty of them XD) but I really don't want to give 'em money at the moment. >___> My paid account runs out in may, I'll see whether I'm still annoyed by that point. Then again ads annoy me more. Dilemma.
I don't think I'll leave LJ, though, if only because it's really easy to crosspost from DW and my f-list is much bigger on LJ. The two sites are pretty much duplicates, except DW is also MUCH better tagged. I uh, went kinda tag-happy. Just a bit.)

Daily happy
Fri, Dec. 23rd, 2011 23:54So today was my family's Christmas Eve's eve dinner... (silly brother, getting himself a fiancee whose family does stuff on Christmas eve too. Hn.) It's pretty much one of three times a year I really pay attention to what I wear.
Only today while I had a pretty new top, I only had my old saggy pants. What with wanting to wait until my weight has stabilized to buy new ones, since i hate buying stuff I'll wear twice or even going shopping at all, and shopping for clothes at all for that matter. (Shopping for manga is tolerable only in that I know exactly what I want and I'm in and out of the library in fifteen minutes or less.)
Anyway there I am, grumping along as I prod the bottom of my drawers for some flash of inspiration, and then I found THE PANTS.
The pants I bought when I was eighteen and kinda flirting around with the gothic/grunge scenes. Like, the very farthest edges of it. The looks looked hella cool, okay. >__>;
So that day years ago I was walking along this random street and then those awesome pants full of strappy bits assaulted my eyes. And I needed a pair. Neeeeeded it. This seriously had never happened to me with clothes before. (books, yes. >_>) So then I went in and DRAMA! they only had it in that size under mine. (or in the interest of full disclosure, two or three sizes.)
It was kinda very expensive. Being under the delusion that maybe one day I'd totally go on a diet and lose enough pounds that I'd be able to close the thing's zipper, I bought it anyway.
And then for years every time I went through my closet and threw away everything I never worse or was too old or stuff, it looked at me and said, ~maybe some day~. And when I moved I made it a space in my too-full boxes. And when I bought myself new furniture and had to figure out funny configurations to make everything fit. Even though as the years went my size only kept slowly going up.
And today I went hey, I wonder if I'm any closer to being able to fit in, AND THEY FIT.
ALL HAIL THE SLOWEST YET SUREST DIET EVER.
And it made my legs look awesome! (okay, awesome for the legs of a person who is exactly five feet tall. Which is sadly not very long, no matter how short the torso, and mine isn't that short.) And the straps and stuff were really fun! and... okay I'm thirty year old and I'm wearing scene pants for a Christmas meal.
You know what, fuck that noise, I wore them anyway.
It was awesome.
Now I'm trying to tell myself I can NOT wear them to my strict, nosy, judgey grandma's Christmas family reunion. It's, um, not going well so far. >____>;

You know what, fuck that noise, I wore them anyway.
It was awesome.
Now I'm trying to tell myself I can NOT wear them to my strict, nosy, judgey grandma's Christmas family reunion. It's, um, not going well so far. >____>;
Homestuck -- um, yeah. >__>;
Wed, Dec. 21st, 2011 17:49So I might or might not have written a Homestuck fic.
And it might or might not be total porn, with like zero redeeming qualities or even anything pertaining to a plot, I don't even know how the heck the characters got there seriously it's like they popped into existence already making out. This NEVER happens to my fics.
Also it's title-less because I hate titles. I'm going to start going with Alternian conventions for titles; this one'll probably be known as "wherein Dave Strider proceeds to top an embarrassed but willing Karkat Vantas; contains mild headgames, sloppy makeouts, voyeurism, exploration of alien genitals, bucket-filling, and a poor, defiled white couch, seriously who buys white couches anyway."
It's up on Archive of our Own.
I might or might not have like three other WIPs in progress for that fandom, two of which are John/Karkat and one of which manages to be shockingly, social-rules-breakingly poly even considering the usual troll approach to relationships. (The file is called Hippie Commune Fic.) I'm not even surprised at myself anymore. I'm kind of praying the bunnies'll die off before I can sit down and write them, because two of 'em promise to be longass WIPs and one of the Karkat/John is somehow a goddamned fantasy AU seriously what the fucking fuckity fuck self. (and might also be turning kids/karkat on me, what IS it with me and whoring the poor guy out.)
I'm kinda hoping it'll be like the Conan fandom and once i'm out of the honeymoon stage and I manage to bang out the couple of first spontaneous bunnies, things will slow down a bit, because it's embarrassing how much homestuck fic i've been mainlining recently. I'm not even entirely done catching up on canon for fuck's sake.
(also, not abandoning either Naruto, Gundam Wing or FF7. Seriously. I'm the kind of fan who keeps picking up new fandoms and never really puts them back down. I know, I tried! *eyes GW sideway*)
