Standing on the edge
Between crazy and sense
Remember what I said
Nothing has to end
Won't you think it over
I'm not so good with words
I don't think you heard me
- The World is our Playground and We will
Always be home (Up Dharma Down)
I warn you: the proceeding chapters will be all about writing. In fandom. For anime series of which I am obssessed about and, most likely, be obssessed about for the next -oh, for the next 50 years or so.
You have been warned.

Just to get this off my chest: Damnit.I miss writing Rurouni Kenshin fanfiction. I miss writing Kaoru/Yahiko/Sano interaction. I miss writing action scenes with big, shiny swords because - let's face it, nobody does sword fighting like our dear Ken-san does.
I miss writing Meiji Japan. Period.
The sad part is, the idea I have for this particular fandom isn't even canon (on the the timeline, at least). It's Alternate Universe , which means I'm still in the process of researching culture, worlds, magicks, what-not. Of course, this one will probably see the light of day around.. after five years?! After I finally get around to doing it? XD
I think the missing-Meiji-Japan-bit is interfering with it, since I kept re-writing the first part. I've re-written it so many times that Kaoru had already done her entrance to this fic like, a dozen times. Each one different.
...I think the only part that hadn't changed was Misao's, who liked her entrance just damn fine. Sadly, she was the only one who liked her part. Sanosuke tried to write himself in, but I really don't think its time for him yet.
I just wish Kaoru and Ken-san would be just as cooperative - but no, they'd have to be stubborn. Sigh. Where is my muse when I need her?
Maybe a drabble would appease my Rurouni Kenshin fix? Or maybe just plunge in and do a 100 situations challenge?
...or maybe just jump off a nearby cliff, whichever one would be easier.

So anyway. That particular fandom done. I'm still on a rut with Bend and Not Break, because eh, I'm not done with the researching yet - actually, I haven't even started. ^^;I got distracted by reading too much Sesshomaru/Kagome at Dokuga and FFN.
I'm doing well on Canta Per Me though, which strikes me funny because that was the one that I put on hold (to put more focus on Bend and Not Break). Serves me right for thinking I can outmaneuver my muse, ha. Danse Dans Le Ciel is... plodding along.
Chase This Light is on a somewhat hiatus. I know what's going to happen for the next chapter, but I don't know how to go about it since well, I'm not exactly sure about seals (and Hinata is supposed to be a seal master for this one). Maybe I could equate seals to rune/magic circles and go from there? Perhaps? I need someone to bounce ideas off this.

So, geekage. Mark (my better half) and I are still waist-deep in his campaign, and had my character have a major fight against one of his mini-bosses. It was the first RPG fight we've ever had in ages that involved dices (because, one way or another, I continually find loops in his rulebook that lets me exploit and renders dice rolling useless. *rolls eyes* I still say Mark couldn't resist spoiling my character a bit, eh.), and it was a bit... exciting? Frustrating? Eh, non-climactic?
Since it was a spur of the moment thing, I didn't bring my dices (Verdandi, Urd, and Skuld; yes, I have three d20 dices, and yes,I named them after the three Norse Goddesses of Fate and not Ah! Megami-sama.), he let me borrow his. and gad, he totally pawned me in dice-rolling!
Mark kept churning out almost criticals (15 and above) while miserable-I churned out almost critical failures (6 and below). It was only when he looked at the die that we were using that we realized why.
The d20 that we were using was color black - his player-killer, the one he uses when he wants to utterly defeat an idiotic player - which doesn't really occur that often, except for this one year. So all his rage and player-kill intent in this die, and here I am using it...
...of course it backfired on me, eh. It was a good thing he had two other d20s (one in white, one in violet). I used the violet one, and, finally, was able to roll acceptable strike, dodge, parry, and save scores. Huff.
But I swear, next time...

While I am sorely tempted to write about work, I think I pepper my Plurk with enough of it, everyday. So I'm cutting abck on it and just keeping my mind off things that are supposed to stay behind when I go home.
Ooooh, you have no idea how long I've wanted to say that! :D
Anyway. Must write.
