Not a huge list or anything, but I feel like this was probably overdue.

Index of Fanfiction

( Fics go here )

From poisontea:

Give me a character from any fandom you know that I know and I will tell you:

a. My favorite thing about that character.
b. My least favorite thing about that character.
c. One person I would ship them with in their own verse.
d. One crossover ship for them I think would be neat.
e. One crossover universe for them I think would be even neater.
f. Their ship from hell.
g. Their song.
h. The title of their biography or autobiography.
i. The last bad dream they had.
j. How they're gonna shuffle off the mortal coil, if they haven't already.


Man but I love character memes.

(Also, thanks to valorously and o_melody_nelson for the snowflake cookies. ♥)

ETA: LOL, for some reason LJ's not sending comment notifications, so I didn't realize anyone had replied until I logged in again and HELLO, WHAT'S THIS? XD Ilu guys. <3
ETA 2: OFF TO BED NOW, will finish these tomorrow. and maybe someone will take pity on me and give Gokudera some love too? Just, you know, so I have extra motivation to finish...! Yes. XD

1. Happy Birthday, snarkwithasmile! Hope it was a good one. ♥

2. So here are the answers to the music meme from the other day. Only nine of the songs were left unguessed in the end, so I consider this mission to be a success. GOOD JOB TEAM~

I'll edit in DL links later too if anyone's interested (I'd do it now but the computer's not cooperating). (ETA: Well, I've got a few of them up, anyway.)

( There were like four Radiohead songs in this batch. )

So... tired...

And yet, cannot resist KHR's siren song. Sob.

( The following summary/review (summareview? Reviewary?) was typed while half-asleep. Just a heads-up. )

THE FANFICTION LOVE MEME

And since we're doing memes anyway, I wanted to do this one that I nabbed from valorously:

Rules:
• 1. Put your playlist on random.
• 2. Post a line from the first 30 songs
• 3. Delete the songs when someone guesses correctly.

( It's been way too long since I last did a music meme. )

The highlight of mine was baby sis getting so excited about us all actually sitting down at the same table to eat a meal that she just looked around, beaming, and then burst, "Let's talk about our day!" Sob hilarious guilt trip sob.

And naturally, KHR 268 was the other highlight. As usual, amazing, wondrous things are happening courtesy of Amano and her... ways.

( Her crazy, crazy ways. )


And in case I don't get a chance to post again over the weekend (who even knows; it's the holidays), Happy Birthday, readerofasaph and nilly_chan! ♥

So here are the answers to the meme I posted yesterday afternoon. |D

THE LIST OF CHARACTERS:

1. Shouichi
2. Uni
3. Yamamoto
4. Gamma
5. Tsuna
6. Gokudera
7. Zakuro
8. Byakuran
9. Squalo
10. Haru
11. Reborn
12. Mukuro
13. Hibari
14. Lambo
15. Wall

( And somehow this meme evolved to include chocolate, Hard Gay, and a baby duck. )

I stole a meme from enough_space and plan to do horrible, horrible things with it. BUT I NEED YOUR HELP!

1) Make a list of 15 characters.
2) Assign each character a number.
3) Without telling anyone who's on the list or the character's assigned number, get questions from your flist about what they'd like to know about them, e.g. "If 3 and 4 were trapped in a cave together with only a blanket and a toothpick, what would they do?" (The more random the better!)
4) Post the answers and who was who on the list.

Only you can make this happen! I IMPLORE YOU, GOOD PEOPLE. <3 And yeah, you'd better believe they are all KHR characters. XD

ETA: Also, Happy Belated Birthday, jewel_song! :)

Because by all rights, this should have been a chapter that profoundly annoyed me, and yet, somehow I ended up loving it. Could it be that Amano is really just that good? :O

( Or is it just that I'm totally her bitch? )

There we were, three of us twenty-somethings, all running around balancing our rakes on the tips of our fingers, while four-year-old baby sis (apparently the mature one) watched in great amusement. Oh man. We are such grown-ups. Grown-ups with talent.

But I am actually making this post for a different reason! So a few days ago, when as some of you may recall, I was in the midst of some subtle and tasteful fangirling over a certain character and his awesome awesomeness, nilly_chan said she perhaps might color a certain awesomely awesome page, and I said I perhaps might make a post fangirling her own awesome awesometasticness if she did.

Well, ladies and gentlemen, she totally fucking did.

THREE.

FUCKING.

TIMES.

HOW AWESOME IS THAT? I THINK WE CAN ALL AGREE IT'S PRETTY DAMN AWESOME.

nilly_chan, I SHOULD TELL YOU I HAVE WORSHIPPED YOUR COLORING EVER SINCE YOU POSTED THIS INCREDIBLY SEXY IMAGE OF RAPIST!BYAKURAN. YOU HAVE AMAZING TALENT AND WHENEVER YOU COLOR SOMETHING NEW I GET ALL EXCITED CUZ I KNOW IT'S GONNA BE AWESOME. AND LO AND BEHOLD, IT ALWAYS IS.

BUT THIS! THIS TAKES THE CAKE.

The shading is smooth and pretty as heck, and the flame effects on the bow kick ass. The background is FIERY AND EPIC and even though it's simple, it totally makes the whole pic like ten times more badass. GOKUDERA IS HOT AND HAS A PURPLE SHIRT, AND I DON'T EVEN KNOW WHY I LOVE THAT PURPLE SHIRT SO MUCH, BUT I REALLY, REALLY DO. And in perhaps the biggest testament to the pic's awesomness, Storm Primo is somehow even sexier than he was before, which means he's basically nothing short of breathtaking. That haiiiiir and those eyyyyyes, omg. *_* I could just stare at that sexy bastard all day.

So yeah. I can't think of anything else to say, partly because I'M STILL BUSY OGGLING, but anyway, this pretty much covers it. nilly_chan, IT TOTALLY ROCKS AND YOU ARE MADE OF WIIIIIINNNN.

Also, congrats on finishing that essay. \o/

I stole this meme from poisontea's journal like a thief in the night! And regret it not a whit; LIFE IS TOO SHORT FOR REGRETS.

Pick five of your favourite shows, in no particular order, before you read the below questions, then answer them!

I went with all live-action shows this time around, just for a change of pace.

1. Firefly
2. LOST
3. House
4. The Office
5. Star Trek: Deep Space 9

( It's so weird to do a meme that for once has absolutely no KHR. )

1. HAPPY BELATED BIRTHDAY, relaxsama AND ALSO o_melody_nelson! Damn, I am so on top of things. BUT I HOPE YOU GUYS HAD GOOD TIMES.


2. The fics for round 3 of khr_undercover have finally been posted! Mine is the one that is really, really obviously written by me. Seriously, it's the one where when you'll read it, you'll be like, "Could she really have made it this easy?" The answer is yes. XDD

Man, I'm excited to guess the rest, though. THIS TIME I'M TOTALLY DOING THAT GUESSING ROUND.


3. Okay, so for more than a while now I've been failing pretty epically at keeping up with my f-list in any capacity whatsoever. And I've been feeling bad about it for a long time, because I keep seeing things I want to respond to, fics and rants and memes and so forth, but I'm always either busy or distracted at the time, so I tell myself, "Okay, I'll come back and comment later." And predictably, I never do. FAAAAAAAILLLL. But I said that already, so yeah.

So, not that this will really make up for it, but here's an idea I had anyway: Comment to this post with a link to one of your posts, and I'll read and reply to it. It can be anything: fic, art, an essay, rant, review, meme, whatever. Think of this as sort of a feedback meme, I guess; you pimp something to me and I will comment on it.

Now, I'm not making any promises about the timeliness of my response, but I will get to everything eventually, even if it takes me a few days or God forbid, weeks (I say that because I know myself too well). XD Sooo, have at it.

But I am not!

( No guesses what is to blame. )

The following post will entirely lack any semblance of coherence or eloquence. It will probably resemble nothing so much as a 9-year-old girl's excited capslock text message sent from like. A Jonas Brothers concert or something.

THERE ARE SPOILERS BENEATH THE CUT.

( THE BEST SPOILERS. OF ALL TIME. )

WHAT IS THIS BULLSHIT.

( What is the world coming to these days? )

It is now Friday, October 30. Boy, I sure am excited for Halloween tomorrow. And did you guys hear, there's a new KHR chapter out!

( Chapter 264! It's so cutting-edge! )

And now I'm off to travel a week into the future and review the NEXT chapter too, because I am determined to turn being late into a superpower.

1. I'M NOT DEEEEAAAD sorry for the impromptu hiatus! XD I made a vow last week not to fool around on LJ until I was finished with my khr_undercover fic, and, uh, that kind of backfired. Because I'm STILL NOT FINISHED sob I don't even know if I'll be done in time. WHY IS IT TAKING SO LOOOOONG.

Anyway, so yeah, I'll be scarce until that's over and done with. Man, I haven't even read last week's KHR chapter yet, I'm so behind. I'll catch up on everything this weekend at the latest, though.


2. Thanks so much for all the birthday wishes last week, guys. |D caffeinexsugar, that pic totally made my day. ♥ ♥ ♥ It was pretty good! AND I GOT SCRIBBLENAUTS, WHEEEE. Which is not really helping with the whole time management thing, lol. BUT WHATEVER, IT'S SO ADDICTING.


3. Speaking of birthdays, Happy Belated Birthday to yukari_rin! Hope it was a good one. ♥ AND I HOPE EVERYONE HAD SPOOKTACULAR HALLOWEENS. I was a witch, rock on.


NOW I'M OFF TO VOOOOTE even though the gubernatorial election in my state is the laughing stock of the country this year. All the candidates suck, but what else is new. THIS IS POLITICS. \o/

1. IS ANYONE ELSE HAVING PROBLEMS WITH LJ DELETING COMMENTS? It deleted two of mine last night and I was CONFUSED and then FRUSTRATED. And then I got over it, but it was still weird.

2. So fics for round 3 of khr_undercover are due in a little more than a week and I'm... not even halfway done yet. SOB WHAT HAPPENED TO MY WORK ETHIC. And it's not just something I can hammer out at the last second like with khrfest either, because once I finally do finish it'll need to be betaed too orz. AND NEXT WEEKEND IS HALLOWEEN SO I REALLY NEED TO DO SOME SERIOUS WORK THIS WEEKEND. *cry*

3. I got a meme from leriko_rasen! 8D


Snog, shag, marry and throw off a cliff.

My characters were Byakuran, Gokudera, Shouichi, and Kawahira.

( SUSPENSE! Who will live? WHO WILL DIE?? )

And on that day I will be like, "What is this bullshit?" You have turned me into a spoiled child, Amano. A happy, selfish, spoiled child.

( Naruto isn't even OUT this week, and KHR is all like, 'Yeah, we got color pages. Again. That's how we do.' )

I DO, AS A MATTER OF FACT. |D I had a job interview today which went really well, much to my relief (particularly since I spent the entire week being stomachachingly, panic-attackingly nervous over it), and when I finally got home from that there was a nice new KHR chapter waiting for me. With more color pages. And various assorted epicness.

( And also an absurd Japanese popularity poll. But other than that, it's all good. )
