I HAVE THREE SPOTS LEFT FOR DARK MONTH AND ANYONE CAN SUBMIT - NO RESTRICTIONS!  IF YOU WANT TO SUBMIT SOMETHING, PLEASE DO IT BY MIDNIGHT CENTRAL US TIME. 

IF THERE ARE STILL EMPTY SPOTS BY 12:01, I GET TO FILL THEM MYSELF!

-GO HERE TO SUBMIT PROMPTS!-

Happy (almost) October!

ALL SLOTS HAVE BEEN FILLED!  THANKS GUYS!

^_^  See you tomorrow...

All right, gang!  We're getting down to the wire again!

I still have EIGHT open spaces yet, so the remaining spots are now OPEN TO ANYONE!  Even if you've already submitted two prompts!  Of course, if you've only submitted one I highly recommend you get another one!

If I still have empty spots after Sept. 30th, I'll be filling them in myself, so better grab 'em now!

For info and submitting prompts, go HERE. 

Allrighty guys!  It's nine days to October 1st and I still have several spaces left on my Dark Month requests.  If you've only requested one, go ahead and throw another one at me!  If you haven't requested at all, be sure to go check it out!  If you've asked me to reserve a day for you, please be thinking about your prompt and try to get it to me before the 1st!

If anyone would like to submit a prompt or has only submitted ONE so far (the limit is two), or would like some general information about my Dark Month project, GO HERE! 

Okay, I got enough of a response on the last entry to decide that I'll do Dark Month this year! 

As always, I must give credit to kacfrog711 for the original idea and thank her for allowing me to borrow the concept.

For those who need a reminder, Dark Month is where I will post one piece of "dark" fanfiction a day for the entire month of October  It's a fun project and a tradition that I love carrying on.  However, since the last year didn't turn out so well and since I've got a lot on my plate with school and whatnot already, I'm going to change some stuff around a little bit to try to increase my odds of actually getting everything done.  Namely, instead of trying to write and post each piece of fanfiction in a single day, I'm actually going to be working on them ahead of time.  it takes some of the thrill out of it, but I think this way it will be less stressful for me and you guys will get a better quality of writing.

Hi guys.  So... It's been a while!  (Like six or seven months!) And I feel like I should kind of explain where I've been and what's been happening.

I finally got back into college this past spring and, as college is wont to do, it sort of ate my life.  And then I was out of town or working all summer.  And on top of all that, I literally spent most of the year 2009 feeling incapable of writing anything that I didn't consider utter garbage.  And that, my dear friends, is where I've been since February.

HOWEVER.

Upon looking at the calendar, I realized that it's September already.  One month before October.  September, among other things, means Dark Month Prep Time for me.  And while I know that I've been gone for a long time and I know that I've most likely fallen off everyone's radar and I know that I SUCKED ROYALLY AT IT LAST YEAR (and I do sincerely apologize - it was a really rough time).  However, I'm a sucker for tradition, so here goes.

Would anyone still be willing to participate in my annual Dark Month if I did it this year?  

If you guys wouldn't mind dropping a line with your answer, I'd appreciate it!  I missed all you guys!

Okay, you know that sex meme that's going around everyone's friends list?  Don't lie, you know you do. 

Well, since I find this immensely more entertaining than filling it out myself, give me a character and I will fill it out IN CHARACTER.

Fandoms:
-Metalocalypse
-The World Ends With You
-Kingdom Hearts (all)
-Final Fantasy (assorted)
-Batman (Begins/TDK, Beyond)
-MIsc.  (Just ask)

Nabbed from lostscore.

Pick a character and I will answer the following:

1. What would your character kill for? What would they die for?
2. What would they refuse to do under any circumstances? Why?
3. What do they dream about? [Either literal or figurative, specify please.]
4. What’s their biggest fear?
5. What single object would they be most hard pressed to part with? Why?
6. What is their fondest memory?
7. What is their worst memory?
8. What or who was were their most significant influence? Expound.
9. What do they believe makes a successful life?
10. What makes them laugh?
11. What are their religious views?
12. What is their greatest strength?
13. Do they have a fatal flaw? If so, what is it?
14. Who is the most important person in their life?
15. If they died, who would miss them most? How would they die?

You can ask anyone from most anything I write, but here's a short list:

Kingdom Hearts (all)
Batman (Begins/The Dark Knight, Beyond, general canon)
FFVII
FFXII
Soul Calibur
Metalocalypse

You guys know the drill by now!

I'm not asking anyone to step forward for this, but after reading today's Fandom Secrets, I couldn't help but wonder if this:

Nabbed from my pretty much my entire FL.

► Pick up to 10 OTPs.
► Describe them in less than 15 words.
► Have your flist guess the OTP.
► ???
► PROFIT.

1.  Just because they aren't real doesn't mean their love can't be.  <-- Replia Riku/Namine
2.  Their love is so complicated.  And then the alter-egos get involved.  <--Batman/Bruce Wayne/Two-Face/Harvey Dent. 
3.  Screw the frying pan, messing with these two is like going from the fire into the jaws.  <-- Xigbar/Axel.
4.  His brutality keeps theirs together.  <-- Charles Foster Ofdensen/Dethklok
5.  "I'm gonna hurt you 'till you love me."  "Oh I thought it was BECAUSE you love me."  <--  Xigbar/Xaldin
6.  Watch out when the sane ones go crazy.  They're often worse than the ones who were crazy to begin with.  <-- Joker/Harvey Dent (Two-Face)
7.  "I want to peel your skin off and see how hollow you really are inside."  <-- Riku/Roxas. 
8.  The ultimate manipulator falls for the ultimate manipulatee.  Must be the latter's goofy charm.  <-- Joshua/Beat. 
9.  One big happy, fucked up family.  <-- Xigbar/Xaldin/Replica Riku
10.  "You underestimated me once.  I'm going to make sure you never do it again.  Painfully."  <--  Vexen/Replica Riku/Vexen.

Mostly KH (as expected) but some more random pairings thrown in there too!  Have fun! *wink*

Edit
People are having problems with this, so I'll give some extra hints.  ^^;;

1.  Het.
2.  Fandom = Batman.
3.  Burns + scars.
4.  Adult Swim show.  Also: OT6
5.  ____
6.  Fandom = Batman.
7.  What happens in Twilight Town stays in Twilight Town.
8.  Square fandom, but not KH or FF.
9.  Think fanfic, people.
10.  Does it count as shota if the kid isn't real?

Anime Meme!

( Read more... )

I haven't watched a lot of anime in the last few years, so all these new-fangled series are al new to me!  *old fogey in the anime world*

Howdy guys!

I was recently poking around on the Kingdom Hearts Anon. Meme and I wanted to just thank all you guys who pimped me out on there.  As it's anonymous (duh, xan) I can't thank people individually, but a few people said some REALLY nice stuff and I just wanted to say that I was so flattered and proud to be able to write for such awesome people.  You guys are all rock stars.  Thank you.

I know I've been lax about updating, but things are in the works (for serious) and I have ideas in my head.

But the question I wanted to you guys is this:  What would you like to see from me?  I know I already did a fanfic poll, but out of sheer curiosity, I'm curious to see and hear from you about what kinds of kinks or squicks make you tick?  I'm looking for new things to try writing and if you have a particularly nasty fantasy or whatever, please share!  Do it anonymously even! 

Call it a professional curiosity.  ^_^

Thanks again, everyone!
