Day off whoooooo~!

[candyland]

Work is crazy, but I still like it. Days off are glorious to the degree of over nine thousand.

Sister is at work. Having the house to myself is utterly fantastic. Rather wish sister would CLEAN HER STUFF OUT OF THE GODDAMN FAMILY ROOM so I could have some space to work out, though. I think Mom might be discussing that with her soon.

Three firetrucks and two ambulances sped by with lights flashing and sirens sounding while I was out earlier. Wonder what happened. Hope it's not too serious, although with that much rescue personnel, it probably is.

Quietly plotting fanfics for four fandoms: Layton (I'M SURE THERE IS MUCH SURPRISE AT THIS), Coraline, Zodiac PI, and Up. Also entertaining a small idea for DC/MK, which is nice because I miss that fandom a lot ;3;

On a semi-related note, killing off a main character in a fanfic apparently doesn't happen very often in the Pokemon fandom. Here, would you all like to see my new collection? It's the e-bricks that were thrown at my head with praise written on them XD *loves fandom*

rhap_chan? I GOT THE BOOKS! YOU ARE LOVE AND ADORATION! THANK YOU!

I will start them as soon as I have finished reading Good Omens. I started it yesterday. Congratulations, Misters Pratchett and Gaiman. You officially had me at the line "Secondly, the Earth's a Libra."

*saunters vaguely downwards*

ffffff I used to do that in high school all the time. I've read the Heralds, too. I remember enjoying it, vaguely.

"The Wee Free Men." It was Pratchett's first attempt at Discworld for young adults, but it's pretty great as a novel in its own right.

Wish is really cute. Zodiac PI I am unfamiliar with.

I sort of wanted to do 100fandomhell, but I want to reuse the fics I've already written lol. And if I do that, actually, I'll only need to write like 20 more so there isn't as much point.

I read a bunch of Valdemar books in high school. Should write a fic for those too *laugh* But yeah, right now I'm trying to decide what movie to pop in while I read.

Zodiac PI is a four-volume shoujo mystery series with a bit of a magic element to it. It's enjoyable enough :3

Sadly, that's actually one of the rules of the challenge. You can't use anything you wrote before you started. You can, however, use fics that are being written for other challenges. Both my Detective Conan AND my Magic Kaito fic for 100fandomhell pulled double duty and were also in my fanfic100 set.

[pleonasm]

I think I've seen Zodiac on the shelves, but Cardcaptor Sakura is my definitive magical girl series... I have a hard time cheating on it lol.

I know, it's depressing! I don't think I could come up with that many fandoms I haven't written in yet. fffff

Of the magical girl series, I would have to say that CCS is my favorite. But I do have loyalties to Sailor Moon, as it was my first :3

I will say this, though. Writing a fic for some fandoms for the challenge has later prompted me to write more for that given fandom, to varying degrees. See also: Rule of Rose, Pokemon, Fatal Frame, and PROFESSOR LAYTON.

Sailor Moon was my first too. ♥ Sometimes I think about rewatching it. And then I realize that the dub was awful.

I Layton all the time, though. ♥ Writing something different can definitely read to a fandom revival, though.

[candy--chan.livejournal.com]

*can has all of Sailor Moon, subbed and uncut* :3 I thought the dub had (more or less) decent voice acting, but the editing and writing was fairly atrocious.

I highly doubt that anything I write will lead to a fandom revival XD But it's a nice dream~

[pleonasm]

I can't stand Usagi's voice. Or the name changes. Or the "cousins." I can remember enjoying all of it when I was little, though!

A personal fandom revival, then. <3

I'm not saying it was great, but it had a few good points to it. Like starting an entire generation on anime ^o^ I always feel like I should defend certain dubs by saying, "Yes, they sucked, but it's because of this series that a generation got into fandom."

Or a fandom entrance, since a lot of the fandoms I've written for are ones I had never written for before XD

[pleonasm]

Oh, definitely. It leaves a bad taste in my mouth now, but it was a fabulous introduction to anime. I watched that and Pokemon and Cardcaptors.

It's a wonder I ever got into anything cool lol.

Which is always an awesome thing! \o/
