Well, I debated for a while where to post this thing, here or at my fic community, but I opted for here since it's technically not a fic. I know, I know, "who the hell cares?" Yes yes, I hear you.

My entry for the June contest at shoneenclub! I got 2nd place, which I was mighty pleased with. :9 Also, the contest? AWESOME. Go forth! If ye has not yet tasted yonder succulent fruit. Er.

So I decided to be "modern" and join the rest of the world on "the internet," so I went and installed AIM at omnipresentdmat's encouragement!

primroseshows (obvious name is obvious)

Now you can talk to me when you might not want to talk to me! Wait

After years of exhausting research, I've come to the following conclusion:


version 2.0


DISCUSS?

yay_box, you are amazing for showing this to me, I can never thank you enough.

( BUT OMFGGGG YOU GUYS LMAO )

HEY! Time for some Truth or Dare!

TRUTH, you say? HMMMM.

Truth: I am half asleep as I type this and I do not not not want to go to work tomorrow.

Truth: I haven't written anything in a while, perhaps many of you have noticed this. I have a few things I'm working on, but none of them are even halfway done. I am kind of in a rut in that I will write a few paragraphs I think are okay, and then everything just deteriorates from there and then I get too angry to try to fix things and then I just sit at my desk and hate myself and think I deserve to be beaten with a sense stick. I KNOW. It is very emo and I am ashamed of myself too. I'm trying to get something out soon, but it's a battle between me and it and I am not winning.

Truth: I did participate in the Anon Meme but what I was actually hoping for was good, honest feedback about my writing because I want to improve and write as well as some of the other authors I know. Thank you to everyone who did comment for me, you guys really helped me a lot. But I was not aware that things like THIS FOLLOWING MEME existed.

THE ANONYMOUS WRITING FEEDBACK MEME

To those who've already commented on that other meme, thank you so much, you don't have to comment again, I already love you. But if anyone else is willing to throw me a bone, CONCRIT ME UNTIL I BLEED PLEASE. I NEED A MAJOR KICK IN THE ASS.

In fact! That is your dare!


ETA:
Thank you very much to those who commented!! You guys are incredible! You really know how to make a girl feel special and whenever I hit a writer's block, I know I'll come back to these comments for inspiration and encouragement. Also thank you so much to those who gave concrit! I will work harder on everything you guys mentioned, but especially my characterization because lots of people brought this up. While I know it is inevitable that some people will disagree on an author's characterization in fanfiction, there is always room for improvement!

Also someone mentioned that maybe serious fics weren't the best choice for me. To this person: thanks but I'm going to keep writing them! I'm now kind of determined to keep on writing them until I make one that you'll enjoy, even though I have no idea who you are, l-lol. I will try to do some more research though, as you suggested! :)

Clearly I should be doing other things with my time.

( But you shouldn't! )

Well! It took me three got-dang tries to make the index, but eventually I did it! DW. You have met your match. Your very incompetent match.


Whoo! Fic community! This is like my first big step into become an adult in fandom. S-shut up! Let me bask in the moment.

Everything links back to LJ right now, but I'll be posting new fics there too! (And at livejournal, of course.) Please feel free to join!! :D

ETA: Hey, gorgeous people at LJ, would you like me to make a fic community here too? Or are you okay with me just posting in my journal like I usually do? I don't really mind either way and I am all for making it easier for other people to handle my crap. Please share with me your opinions!

ETA2: I mean, I might as well, right?

So are you all familiar with the amazing aatash's Detective!AU in which Ohno and Nino are professional sleuths and Sho suffers by association? If you aren't you better get on this shit, for reals, then perhaps you would like to be? What kind of question is that; of course you would like to be.

Anyway, I'm kind of majorly in love with this universe so I wrote a prequel!fic for it. Yes, yes, I know, I know. Exactly.

Title: To Catch A Thief
Rating: PG
Characters: Sho, Nino, Ohno
Genre: General
Length: ~3,000 words
Summary: Sho meets an interesting person at the bar one night. He sort of regrets it.

( You know my methods, Watson. )

Heeeey. Okay! So here was my entry for the drabble contest over at ohmiya. I got last place guys, and I have to say I deserved it, lol. I pretty much wrote the drabbles in less than an hour, just to beat the deadline. OTL OTL OTL. I felt really ashamed of myself as I was submitting, but there! Lesson learned, I suppose! Also all of the entries were super good so even had I spent more time on them I am sure I wouldn't have won. also maybe i was kind of venting my RL frustrations through the fic uuuugh sorry about that D: D: D: someone should kick me

Rating: G
Prompts: If either Ohno/Nino were never in Arashi and they meet (I picked both); Ohno talking to Haru (Nino’s dog); marriage counseling (although I sort of took liberties with this one).
Notes: the three drabbles are connected as one story.
Words: 100 each.

( a walk in the park )

ARASHI HAS A NEW SINGLE AND NEEDS AN ENGLISH TITLE HOOK
HOW EVER WILL WE DECIDE ON THE WORDS?

GOOD OLD DARTBOARD HAS YOU COVERED!






I kid because I love!


EDIT! Well I'm sure everyone and their mother knows about this by now, but I really want to pimp this community, because it is 99.9% awesome and 0.01% me. Just kidding. It's 100% awesome. I'm still there, though!

Title: This Might Have Been Easier Without the Death Ray (6/7, 7/7)
Rating: PG-13
Notes: Sorry Sorry Sorry Sorry / I I I first / For you for you for you I fell / fell fell fallen baby
I mean. SORRY GUYS. I fell of the face of the earth for a while there, but you might be pleased to know that I am back and still retain function in all of my limbs. Just so you know, this last chapter nearly killed me. I rewrote it a total of seven times (not all of it, but most of it) before I finally found a plot I was happy with; you are reading attempt number eight. If you perhaps gain a semblance of happiness from this chapter, I would be so thankful, like, "oh my goodness my baby is alright" level of thankful. I think maaaaybe I will take a break from writing long things for a while. Can you blame me?! (A: yes.)

EDIT: GOD FLIST STOP BEING SO FUCKING AWESOME WHILE PEOPLE ARE AWAY OKAY, SOME OF US CAN'T HANDLE IT need to comment on so many things orz orz will have to wait for another time orzzzz

Well here it is, please enjoy!

Title: This Might Have Been Easier Without the Death Ray (3/7)
Rating: PG-13, still for swearing
Notes: Sorry this is a bit late guys, I got stuck in a wormhole and had to fight my way back to present day from the Mesozoic era. Also sorry if there are any glaring errors; I made a few changes here and there but I'm not at my most alert right now, I could have written about dinosaurs for all I know. Why am I thinking about dinosaurs so much.

Title: This Might Have Been Easier Without the Death Ray (2/7)
Rating: PG-13
Notes: guys how important can sleep be really, I mean, robots don't sleep, and look how efficient they are. Oh, the fic. Well here is chapter two, I hope you will enjoy it. It has a lot of backstory but I go through it fairly quickly, so if something is confusing/sucky do let me know please, I will do my best to fix it.

( part two: tuesday )

HI EVERYONE. So perhaps I will be in and out (mostly out) this week like a pesky, invisible mosquito. I want to spam a lot of awesome people (including you! yes you!) but RL is clawing at me for attention and if I ignore it any longer, I fear that my wounds will require medical attention.

In the meantime, here is a fic.

Title: This Might Have Been Easier Without the Death Ray
Rating: PG-13 for swearing
Warnings: THE STORYLINE IS KIND OF WEIRD, MAYBE.
Pairing: Ohmiya, but it's not the focus.
Summary: A story of the hilarious tragedy that is Ninomiya's life: trying to balance out school, love, stigma, arch-nemeses, and not really taking over the world city.
Genre: College AU? I... really don't know how to classify it.
Notes: a) Japan doesn't have Chancellors, I know, but "Prime Ministers" just didn't have the same ring to it. Maybe the setting isn't even Japan! As was pointed out by oviparous , the fic has a decidedly North American feel to it. I call artistic license? b) All information about lasers was obtained through browsing Wikipedia. I'm not scientist! (If this was not already obvious.) The laser in question is a hydrogen fluoride laser. c) I actually started writing this fic for the Valentine's Contest at ohmiyaday. OTL I stopped when I realized that the longer it got, the less Ohmiya it contained. That was probably the wisest decision I have ever made in my life. Anyway, this is for pink_tofu  and fluttering, who organized the contest and are therefore the reasons for this story's existence in the first place.
More notes? Inspired by Dr. Horrible's Sing-Along Blog.

HEY

GUESS WHO'S AMAZING

Answer: aatash IS AMAZING

Okay, NO SURPRISE THERE.

But!! Do you know JUST HOW AMAZING SHE IS?

Well! Now you do!


You can leave her a comment about her amazingness, etc, then come back here and thank me for reminding you of these important issues.

Sorry sorry everyone for so much spam from me, I do not do it (very) intentionally. I was about start cramming but everyone was extremely excited about Believe PV, Kumori Nochi PV, and Ohno's amazing performance on MusicStation, so how could I resist? Something akin to an atomic bomb exploded inside myself while I was watching him, guys. 

Result of overflowing love for Ohno: I wrote something. It was entirely spontaneous and finished quickly and goodness knows what prompted me to post it right after I wrote it, but it looks like I am just having a "to hell with it!" kind of day. To hell with you, grades! To hell with you, editting! To hell with you, title! You heard me! Title yourself!

Rating: PG-13
Warnings: boys kissing, inept writing
Pairing: Ohmiya

Notes: A lot of people commented about why on earth [INSERT SPOILER NAME HERE] would have Gimmickgamer4 as her username. I was surprised by this; isn't it possible to change your username and personal information and stuff? I know you can do it on LJ. Well, I'm sorry for any confusion. Here is the last part.

( part three: hey now, see, things will be okay )

Hey, if anyone can teach me how to add banners to my profile, I would be very grateful!

( part two: honestly the kid is too young for you )

Good afternoon everyone, I am going to post that long thing I wrote for some contest that you may or may not be familiar with at oh, a humble little community known as kickass_central ohmiyaday. I think it turned out pretty well! (The contest, not the fic. Well I guess both.) I know I was promising to deliver that other really long one but I am still grappling with it and also I have to read about 250 pages about communication before Monday. I CAN'T WAIT (SARCASM).

Title: Yours, RamenLuver99
Rating: PG-13 for Nino's potty mouth
Genre: lol, I don't know. General? Melodrama?
Length: ~12,300 OTL
Summary: As a promotion for his new show, Ohno is put into a dating competition for Valentine's Day. Nino protests the only way he knows how: underhandedly.
Notes: I know that Japanese pronouns are gendered, but please pretend that they aren't, for this story. As well, please do not take the idea of individual fan clubs seriously; they were made up for the sake of the fic.
Thank you very much to: still_ciircee for correcting my grammar, waxrose for emotional support and encouragement, and especially jliann for not only telling me what she liked, but stuff she didn't like. Jun's entire snarky conversation with Nino can be credited to her. Thanks for your help, everyone! Oh, and a HUGE THANK YOU for everyone who participated in the contest! Awesome fandom is awesome.
