Holy crap did he actually use his real LJ?

...y'know, it's ironic.

I get inspirations for fanfic shit right around when I get sick, and damned ideas keep pestering me when I don't have the ability to produce them.

WATCH. AS SOON AS I'M BETTER, THE IDEAS WILL ALL BE GONE.

...

Also, more irony, and the reason for this particular icon - I find it somewhat funny that we get arguably the best female TF character ever produced (TFA Blackarachnia) and the WORST (IDW Arcee) within literally half a week of each other.

Mind you, that's also somewhat saddening, but still.

Just a random thing, attempting to be a good moderator and all that.

I've recently been made a mod at [info]digital_dive, which I mentioned earlier as having joined last month. Now I'm knee-deep in characters and plot and moddy-ness. XD

TO REITERATE WHAT IT IS: [info]digital_dive is a multi-fandom RP, skewed to a Digimon setting. The basic, short and sweet premise, is that characters from all across various realities get pulled into a new Digital World by this world's version of Yggdrasil. Upon arrival, they (typically) recieve Digivices and Partner Digimon. And from there... pretty much, you go nuts.

Major stuff's starting to go down, plot-wise, and we're always on the look out for new players. :D It's still a new RP, so, things really are just getting started, regardless. And especially, just personally, I'd like to see a few more Digimon, Slayers, or Transformers Animated players. >_>

SO... yeah.

Lame-assed pimping post is lame-ass. But there ya go.

*goes back to screw with minds of characters*

Busywork [Dec. 10th, 2007|03:11 pm]
So, in the past month my job's been so hecktic that I haven't really had much time to work on fanfics. (Or my analyzations of my past fic work.)

Retail during November/December is HELL.

However, I have been trying to keep my writing mind sharpened on RPs! It's been a long time since I tried any RPing, though I used to love it to death even with misguided godmodding and not knowing what the hell I was doing. So, I've gotten involved in a couple different ones by way of [info]raptorscribe

First is [info]dramadramaduck, a multi-fandom journal-based RP, where I've taken control of Touma Norstein and Kouki from Digimon Savers, Brainiac 5 from Legion of Super-Heroes, and Sonic from Sonic the Hedgehog. It's quite active, but not overly so, so I can still keep up with the goings on.

Second is [info]digital_dive, multi-fandom, Digimon-skewed RP. I've got Touma (I inherited both Toumas from other people, somehow o_O ) from Savers, again, and Simon from Tengen Toppa Gurren-Lagann.

They don't distract me from my writing, as I've not really had the CHANCE to do much of it lately. They do a good job of keeping my mind busy otherwise, though. XD

The Ramblings of a Fanfic Author, Part 01: In the (semi) beginning... [Nov. 10th, 2007|07:10 pm]
In a greater effort to make more use of my LJ, and try and write something consistently here, I'm going to go into something I've been meaning to for a long while. Basically, to go over my history as a fanfiction writer and pick apart most of the stuff I've written - IN PUBLIC - hoping that, in the process, I can further examine what I've done wrong (and right) in the past. By going through this process and tearing apart my older, crappier writing, I hope to get a better understanding of what I need to do to become better, and hopefully will at least entertain at least one person out there reading.

Or, if nobody bothers to read, I'll at least have kept myself busy. XD

SO. Watch out for random cursing, falling badifc, and all that crap.

It was around September of 1998, and I had just been given the best present EVER from my parents: The internet. Now, this was internet via Web TV, but fuck if I cared. I mean, I was 13, home schooled, and lacked anything close to social interaction. I was bored and starved for the ability to actually talk to people (who wouldn't also ridicule me). So, once I hooked that puppy up, what was the first thing I did?

No, the answer isn't to look up porn. AMAZING, I know. No, no, I immediately rushed to look up web sites for my two current fandoms at the time: Power Rangers and Sonic the Hedgehog. Almost immediately, I discovered this little novelty called "Fanfiction." Fans who would spend their time and energy crafting all sorts of stories based around things that I love, giving me even more entertainment beyond what the canon gave us? Fascinating. I was fairly well hooked. This was considerably better, and FAR beyond what I could have ever done, say, playing with action figures when I was ten. Conceptually, it just seemed fucking awesome.

Thus. I had to do it myself.

Oh, Lord God Almighty have mercy on my soul.
See, now, I'm not actually going to cover my earliest fanfiction. Oh, no.

I've made damn well sure to wipe as many traces of THOSE pieces of shit from the internet as possible. Oh, I could go over, say, their plots and what was wrong with them... but, some of that's hard to remember. I'd really rather not try to dwell on it, or else my memory will likely make it worse than it already was. There's little redeeming value in any of it, and there's PLENTY of of stuff for me to cover from the year 2000 and onward, since I began archiving my shit. (Having gotten an actual computer at the end of 1999.)

Yes.

Archiving it. I'm a pack rat at heart, and the complete deletion of my Power Rangers and Sonic fanfic is a benefit of having a lapse in my usual nature and just screaming to the heavens, "KILL IT. KILL IT WITH FIRE."

No, for some reason, since I entered the Digimon fandom, I've been keeping this unorganized MESS of a folder simply labeled "Archives." It is for whatever I want it to be. Largely, it just sits at the top of my Fanfic folder, mocking me, daring me to open it and see what crap I've turned out in the past. I toss into it OTHER folders full of fanfic that I realize I'm never going to touch again, along with some random web pages I saved and reviews for fics I've deleted. Yes, yes, I'm pathetic to do that, I know. But, that's sort of the point of the folder. It is my own personal hall of shame.

Yet, it's not going to be the largest thing I'll go into in this series of rants. In fact, as it sits at the top of my Fanfic folder, and it's where my writing for the Digimon fandom began, I'm about to knock out a portion of it right here and now.

And So It Begins... )

Also, one thing I'm likely to NOT go into much here is collaborations. There are some with other people in the past, and several with [info]raptorscribe. I might touch on Digimon Evolution at some point, but I'm not going to tear it apart like I did the story above. Actually, I'm not going to be going at things with everything like I did above, anyway, because as my writing gets progressively more... well, decent, the less embarassing everything becomes. XD And the way in which I rant on things will vary depending on the topic.

But, for now... yeah.

I need to seriously freaking post more. [Nov. 9th, 2007|10:49 pm]
Like, seriously.

I sit here on days when I don't have anything to do, can't find anything TO do, staring at my screen... blankly...

Hmph. At times like this, I realize I need to do things like post more. Branch out more. Talk to people more. The circle of people I actually talk to is severely limited. Heck, the only person on my flist I seem to talk to with any regularity anymore is [info]raptorscribe, whom I converse with every night and work together one fic collaborations... but other than that...

Hm. =\ I bring it upon myself, though, I guess. Lots of times people will try to talk to me, but I let myself get easily distracted and thus end up pissing them off. I really need to work at that, too.

I should really talk more, I guess, like I said. Join some more communities. Maybe find an RP journal or something.

Apologies for anything that seems remotely like angsting. It just suddenly hit me that I've become somewhat anti-social and never really realized it. O_o; DEFINITELY going to work at doing something about it...

So, hey, I'm alive. [Aug. 12th, 2007|06:55 pm]
[mood | contemplative]
[music |JAM Project - Divine love]

Woo, yay for more journal abandonment of extreme amounts of time. w00t

Bah.

Anywho.

So, what've I been up to? Hm...

A fairly good amount of writing, actually. I've vowed to myself - now that I've successfully actually POSTED a chapter to remind people its still alive - to not post anything else to Inner Demons until Phase 01 is done. Amazingly, this seems to be a good motivator, as I already have a chapter and a half in the can. Given there's not many chapters left to Phase 01, this is a very good sign. And, if I get unexpectedly stalled again, at least I have a backlog of sorts. Or am building one.

When I'm done, although I plan on plowing into Phase 02, I'm also going to comb back through Rising Shadow to put a final shine & polish on it. Nothing TOO major (nothing to the extent of how I once tried revising the now-dead Silver Lining), but there are some particular areas that I need to clean up and edit things. Plus, make a few things clearer for any first time readers coming across it. Digimon fandom'll probably be getting a bit more attention in the coming year, once Data Squad starts, after all.

Overall, I feel like I'm in much more of a writing mood than I've been in... years, really. I feel energized and ready to work on all manner of things. But, I find it best not to talk about such things before I actually GET to doing them, so for now I'll just shut up on that. XP

woo new computer yay [Apr. 4th, 2007|08:47 pm]
So, at long last, I've been the proud owner of a brand new computer for the past two weeks.

So why haven't I said anything about it?

My connection is still utter crap.

And I can't figure out why bit torrents frag the connection even FURTHER, making it very hard to populate my new, expansive hard drive. :p

On the bright side, I can now do a bit of light PC gaming. And video editing. Currently working on a Digimon Savers music video that I think is turning out rather nicely. 

The one game I've taken a shine to liking, though, is - of course - World of Warcraft, which... naturally, means my connection needs to stay stable for me TO enjoy it.  It's all nice and fun when it works, though.

Ah well. I'll get it worked out eventually. XD But now I can actually turn my computer on without worrying about it freezing up every five minutes, so everything's a lot better than it used to be. So since getting on the computer isn't as much of a pain, I'll probably - HOPEFULLY - be contributing to my LJ more.

We'll see. XD

So, I've been re-watching G Gundam recently. Bless Bandai's Anime Legends collections.

First time through the entire series in Japanese, and it's even more awesome than I remember. Just hit the Gundam Fight Finals and past Domon's first couple matches. It's so nice to pick up on little things I just plain missed the first time. :D

I suppose I'll pick up Gundam Wing next, just to see if the years of reading complaints about the show have jaded my view of it, or if I can enjoy it like I did back in 2000. I managed to enjoy Gundam SEED Destiny in spite of everyone else on the interweb, so we'll see.

Re: Digimon Savers Episode 27

Satsuma Rentarou and Kudamon are freaking badasses. :D

That is all.

(Other than the fact Kouki, Nanami, and Ivan - though all very awesome - really sorta freak me out. But, hey, at least we finally got Thunderbirmon, Stegomon, and Coatlmon animated... sort of.

Though, "HYPER BIO EVOLUTION!" - Great shades of Frontier. So do we effectively have a reference to EVERY season now?)

Fic crap. [Oct. 11th, 2006|11:44 pm]
I guess I should really start pimping my fics a bit more aside from just throwing them up. Heh.

Divided Paths
Summary: Years after the D-Reaper, Digimon still appear with alarming frequency in the human world. As people all across the world come in contact with them and become Tamers, Takato and company start to find themselves as only one piece of a much larger puzzle. In the winter of 2006, a tragic event strikes both Tokyo and the lives of the Tamers... and from there on, their world is forever turned on its
head.
Notes: DP is broken up into several sub-series and one shots. Or will be eventually. Simply because cramming it all into one ass-ton story would be a bit too daunting a task. The first prologue to the overall series, "Breakdown" (found here and here) has been up for some time, while the actual series following it is just starting to get rolling at a good pace.

Title: Divided Paths: Factor of X
Series: Tamers continuation/Savers AU
Rating: PG-13
Summary: Everything's changed. But for better or worse? A group of warriors and something called the X Antibody are about to shift the playing field even more...
Current Chapter: Entry 1.03 - "Clash! Vengeful Knight, ChaosDukemon"

*looks at new scans for the upcoming (Japanese) PS2 game "Digimon Savers: Another Mission" at www.digimonhimitsu.com *

Whee. It's Lupin III. With a Piyomon. XD (Though I suppose that probably dashes hopes people had of Chika's Piyomon coming back if Bandai's going to go ahead and do that for the game. I'd think, anyway.)
And Renamon! :D At this rate, I'm gonna have to get my PS2 modded and get this sucker.

You know, thinking about it - and I really hope I don't wind up shooting myself in the foot by saying this, so don't let me down, Toei - Savers is just as dense (if not moreso) than past series plot-wise. (Despite what some people have tried to claim in the past.) The difference? Savers isn't quite as VAGUE about it. (aside from what happened to Professor Daimon, but we're getting to that in a few days. ^^; )

Because, lets be honest. I love 02 and Tamers, but the two of them are both culprits of the ever-present aspect some anime have of just being damn... vague about various plot points. There's suspense, and then there's "WTF is Dagomon's Ocean and why should we really give a flying shit about it?" (Mind you, such vagueness makes wonderful fic fodder.)

It's a tactic that lots of series seem to use to make the storyline's seems smarter than they actually are. (Not that I'm really accusing 02 and Tamers of that, mind you.) And for some series, this WORKS. So I'm not saying that technique is BAD. Savers has just largely been, and is continuing to be, very upfront about various plot points... so much so, I have to wonder what kind of twist is going to be able to carry everything on another 25 or so episodes. But, regardless of that, it's kind of refreshing.
