Since my girlfriend did...

... a 14-worder. I actually wrote this one over a year ago, and it had just never occurred to me that if I put it on my LJ, people would actually see it and it would have more life than just sitting in the notebook I wrote it in forever. Thanks, Ruth! I promise not to do this too frequently, though. I don't want my fanfic available for people to see, because, if they see it, no matter what they say about it, I'll write more of it just so I can get feedback, and it will take time away from working on the stuff I intend to sell. However, 14-worders are fair game, because they take what, five minutes? I wonder, does anybody write fanfic haiku, or is that just Too Wrong? Once I see more Hikaru no Go I could write a Sai haiku...

Anyway. Fic.

Is good to have this thing up on the net, because whenever I read it to anyone in person, there's a word in there in which I keep stumbling and substituting an 's' for a 'k'. Maker. The word is maker. I promise. It's just I've never been able to read it aloud without stuttering.

I have to go do a very great deal of Greek prose composition.

Go on, milk CCS for twitchiness...

... throw the "s" in there. Along with the "t." You know it's how he thinks of him...(note: this could be the result of me reading way, way, WAY too much oh-so-twitchy CCS fanfic lately. Why is there so much very twitchy very good fanfic out there, and so much less less twitchy very good fanfic? Is it inherent to fanfic or something?) Still fond of the poetry of this fic of yours, belove. Is cool. (How's mine?)

I have the self-same thought-process about fanfic-- thus the 14-worders and the occasional strange dialogue-thing. And you're right. But I still say that everyone to whom you show your 1-page Fushigi Yuugi fic will be delighted and thankful forever.

And yes, one can do fanfic haiku. People often do-- it's just a little bit harder to find. Go forth, o haikuist! Sai what you need to say.

Much love,

Want to see one-page fanfic. Also, more Hikaru no Go. Boston, yes?

The... pun... the... pun...

Ow. Ruuuuthhh!!!!

The one-page Fushigi Yuugi fic is a Fushig Yuugi/Yami no Matsuei crossover that absolutely should not be read unless one has seen ALL of FY and a good bit of YnM. I am starting to think that this may apply to enough people I know that it might be worth putting it up on this site. Peoples? How much of these shows have you seen?

Hikaru no Go. Boston. Hell yes.

Gah! But telling people about the story that way... well, doesn't quite wreck it, but SO much better if you don't know what's coming. I see how you'd have to, to be sure people have seen SOME YnM, but... meh.

Like how one should never refer to the Brobdingnagian Bards song as "The Fairy Story" until AFTER playing it.

Re: the pun... heh, heh, heh,heh, heh.

Well, you're not HERE. I have to () SOMEHOW...

Love,
