DRIVE-BY BULLET-POINT POST! WE HAS WEBSITE UPDATES

[nekokoban]

Cranes for peace

ALSO: so, like, I'd probably blame this on lazulisong because she vocalized my secret desire to play in a remix challenge. The problem is that almost all my fandoms -- and the ones I'd really have a lot to contribute to -- are super-tiny.

BUT I was talking with gisho and I thought well. Maybe I could start my own little party (emphasis on the little, because I'm far too flaky and busy to actually run a full-fledged challenge, ye holy gods and fishes)! And that way, if the number of people was kept small, it wouldn't have to be ONE fandom. It could be, like, throw in three fandoms you've written fic for, and go from there. :D

IS ANYONE INTERESTED IN PLAYING REMIX WITH ME AND gisho?

:D :D :D?

Please? ._____.

GUYS GUYS GUYS GUYS.

MY WEBSITE IS UPDATED.

So is the hanashika.com main page, mostly because I felt like playing with layouts, and SO I DID. :Db Let me know if there are any broken links or anything, or if I missed a fic -- I'm sure I did. But given how long ago my last update was, I'm scared to go looking. D:

+++

Work has turned INSANE. I think I answered more phone calls today than I have in the past three months. Combined.

NUTS INSANE CRAZY HOLY CRAP WHAT.

+++

I am totally posting my NaNo unfiltered. If you have violent allergic reactions to the idea, SPEAK NOW OR FOREVER HOLD YOUR PEACE. :|b

+++

I still want that Supernatural/Dresden Files crossover. Maybe I should just write an outline (i.e., "all the cool things I want to see happen, without the tedious details getting in the way") and hope that satisfies me. :\

+++

Lastly, I decided to play in that "about the icons" meme. These are the seven that toxictattoo picked! ... I like to talk a lot, too. :|b

	I think I found the original of this photo off ONE of the -chan boards; I want to say 4chan, but it's just as likely that's not the case. XD Either way, the image really struck me -- just the one tiny cat sitting on a spidery branch and the giant, perfectly-full moon. In fact, I worried quite a bit about whether or not I'd lose clarity when it resized -- but you can still see the cat, and that's really what I wanted. :D
	So, my senpai (sjen) and I were dorm roommates for a year in college. During that time, she was watching the newer Papuwa series (I know it's got a longer title than that, but I just remember it that way -- that, and I remember Tanno-chan and Ito-chan, but). This little guy is a vampire bat, one of many strange creatures that lived on the island. They preferred to drink by poking straws into their victims and fluttering around. "Woobity" is just something I say, at times, like an exclamation or something. XD
	I HAVE THE FULL-SIZED OF THIS IMAGE. Someday, I will make another of its sister image, where the hedgehog is going :P Also someone once theorized that Wash from Firefly (where the quote is from) would so totally be a hedgehog, and the XD face was impossible for me to resist. :|b
	Ursula Vernon is one of my favorite artists out there, for her truly bizarre (and sheerly AWESOME) ideas. Her general policy on using her art for icons and such is that she's credited, hence her name appearing in the tagwords. You can see the full size of the image here; I think it really sort explains everything you need to know. XD
	I am a huge fan of the Disgaea games -- the first one is the reason I got a PS2 in the first place, and probably started me on my huge Atlus kick -- I will risk flak and say that with only the exception of KH2 (because I liked the first one, but 2 was better i.m.o.), I've never met a Square/Enix game that I liked even a fraction as much as my least-favorite Atlus game. Haha. Anyway, the peg-legged bat-winged penguins are called Prinnies, and I love penguins (my favorite bird!) so, of course when I found the prinny sprite sheet, I had to make an icon of one spazzing out. :D "HOSHIT MASTER ETNA WILL KILL US."
	Fujiwara no Toshitsugu, from Shounen Onmyouji. Made by chibimazoku, and I think it might've come from ... uh. Probably discussion about Toshitsugu's mad unrealized crush on Masahiro and how, in HIS version of events, he'd totally be the pimpmaster onmyouji that everyone looked up to and admired. Even Seimei. ... Toshitsugu's kind of cute in that delusional sort of way. :D
	Orpheus, one of the titular Persona from Persona3. He's the first one that the main character is able to summon, and I have this riduclously inexplicable crush on his design. I had to eventually concede defeat and switch him out of the party, since he stops learning moves at, like, lv10, but ... it made me very sad. :( (I mean, dude. His physical attacks include bashing the enemy over the head with his lyre. How awesome is that? D:)

1. What's a remix? :O

2. Before I forget, did you get the package, or is USPS still being silly? D:

[nekokoban]

From what I've always been lead to believe, a remix is where you get to rewrite one of someone else's fic, your style. I THINK IT'D BE FUN. :|b

AND YES I DID GET IT OMG THANK YOU♥♥♥♥ Roommate thingit and I have agreed that it will go up in the living room, we're just not sure where yet.

♥♥♥♥♥

[anruik]

:OOOO Sounds intriguing and difficult at the same time!

AND YAY, GOOD! Was worried it didn't get there, but glad you like it~! ♥

[versine.livejournal.com]

I'LL PROCEED TO MOLEST YOUR WEBSITE IN LIEU OF HOMEWORK OKAY. ♥

Orpheus looks bags of hot. And damn, I do not have a raging gamebeast within!

[nekokoban]

I AM DISGUSTINGLY PROUD OF MY NEW LAYOUT(S). :( More than I probably should be, given the sheer amounts of extravagantly pretty layouts people have made and are still making. BUT I DID MY BEST AND I THINK THEY LOOK PRETTY.

Orpheus is totally hot. :|b I am still sad I had to give him up for stronger Personas. ToT

[harukami]

Remix! Is that where you rewrite the concept of someone else's fic-?

[nekokoban]

Yeah! I, I think it'd be really sort of SUPER NEAT to try it. :|b I'm easily entertained.

[harukami]

OH MAN I. I don't know. I want to say I'm interested b-but I think all my flaws would make me really poorly suited for it. like being weirdly possessive of ideas and really scared at offending people running around with their ideas um. I WILL THINK ABOUT IT and get back to you. On some day when I'm not Moodie McMooderson of the Moody Clan and freaking out easily over everything. like I am today.

[nekokoban]

I think it's being in Supernatural fandom -- I've seen some really awesome remixes and I keep thinking "gee, that's cool, I want to play too D:" but ... TINY FANDOMS or else I DON'T KNOW ANYONE ELSE IN FANDOMS and. Yeah. XD

If you decide you want to, though, THAT WOULD BE AWESOME I'm pretty sure we're just going to go with, like. Ten people max, since that's probably the most I can keep organized. XD

[harukami]

YOU KNOW WHAT, I'll do it. Though uh. What are your policies on freaking out and backing out if it just can't work? :(

[nekokoban]

Lashing with a wet noodle. :( Fifty times.

I'd liiiiike to grab a few more people for it, because right now you make it ... four! Haha. 8Db (Right now, it's just a sort of show of hands to see who I can get to play with me. Otherwise I'll just sort of kick my feet and whine. XD)

And it probably won't be till December-ish, since there's NaNo and Yuletide and I will not use these as an excuse to procrastinate on my challenges. XD

♥

[lazulisong.livejournal.com]

I'M THERE :(

[nekokoban]

THAT MAKES YOU AWESOME. :(b

[lukita.livejournal.com]

I still want that Supernatural/Dresden Files crossover. Maybe I should just write an outline (i.e., "all the cool things I want to see happen, without the tedious details getting in the way") and hope that satisfies me. :\

And post your result or something when you're done, cause even though I've only read five random books, my brain is going "the White Council would hate Clow's guts so very very much".

Prinnies are the awesome.

[nekokoban]

Clow is totally like, one of maybe two wizards in all of existence that was offered a place on the White Council and went "lolz, thx but no thx guyz" and totally got away with it. XD

To say nothing of what they probably think of Yuuko. :Db

But I desperately want that Supernatural/Dresden crossover -- it'd be fantastic if only, you know, it existed. :(

Prinnies ROCK. They helped sell Disgaea to me a loooooot. XD

[lukita.livejournal.com]

To say nothing of what they probably think of Yuuko. :Db

The Merlin pray every night that Harry and Yuuko would never meet.

I don't have a problem with unfiltered posts (but then, I wanted on the filter in the first place), but I still suggest f-locking the story posts so you don't give away your First Rights to Publication if you ever decide to submit it to publishers.

I'm sure you knew that, but I had to say something. It's in my blood :)

[nekokoban]

Nah, this was actually a story I planned on sharing on the web anyway -- it's for Catfish, which is mostly a web-based circle anyway. :) The NaNo is therefore part of the Catfish filter, but also slightly different since it's NaNo, and if I can't break the rules I established for my own posting, well. That's sad. XD

[shadawyn.livejournal.com]

As long as you have been informed, I have done my duty :)

I look forward to the posting :D
