I updated Lucid. It's not terribly long, only 1500 words, but I've also planned out some more for future chapters.

I think I finally solved one of the things slowing me down: Sakura's motivation and her reactions to all this. I decided that the best thing I can do is turn the story completely around so fast it leaves Kakashi dizzy. HAH! This will be such fun.



((Er... it WAS you that I was squealing about Kakasaku with, right?))

LOL.

Yes, it was me. And I heartily approve of throwing Kakashi for a loop in any way, shape, or form. *scurries off to read next chapter*

Hey, can i ask you a favor? and, before I do... did you read all of The Window by silvershine?

If you did, I was hoping you could tell me if my outline for what I want to happen is too similar to her story. I just sat down and thought out the whole thing, but I realized that while my characters motivations were pretty different, and the conclusions I reached were pretty different, there's some surface comparisons between the end of her fic and mine. I was hoping you might be able to give a reasonable opinion on it. The last thing I want to do is subconsciously borrow from someone I admire.

Yes I did--I was going to comment that Lucid gave me something to look forward to again, now that she's finished that one.

So sure, I'll look over your outline for you. I know I have a whole list of people to thank for sub-or-not-so-sub-consciously inspiring me in my latest fic...

Then read give me an email addy that I can send the outline too

Re: HEH.

[jade-sabre-301.livejournal.com]

yay!

do you have my email address from the whole k_z mod thing? (I only ask 'cause I have yours, and if you don't have mine that might make me a CREEPY STALKER and that would suck.)

Re: HEH.

[rashaka.livejournal.com]

I have a kind of list but i don't know whose is whose. I'm sure I had your addy at one point, but if you gave it to me again that'd be great. Just shoot me an email I can reply to, or type it here.

1. The "Sakura is kind of secretly crazy" part also ties into the title, of course. Lucidity is precious, whether its recognizing the difference between fantasy and reality, or thinking clearly about yourself and awareness of your own limitations. Who's being honest with themselves here? Are either of them?

2. Chapter 13 – They make out, and Sakura tries to go for broke, but he stops her again and pushes her away. They argue.

Chapter 14 – Kakashi wakes up, Kakashi wakes up, goes to the store to by a shit-ton of sake, and goes home. Sakura shows up when he's drunk, gets him even MORE drunk, and then pounces on him. This leads to a less-than-great morning after.

I have this in other notes, but didn't properly explain it here. The arguement they have is about Sakura's age and supposed "innocence" and how Kakashi is treating her like she's too delicate or too young. She gets fed up, admits to trying to make him fall in love with her. He tries to question what she means by that, but she punches him and knocks him clean out so she doesn't have to have that conversation.

THEN he wakes up and goes to get drunk, because he can't think clearly anyway and this seems like a blessedly stupid way and oblivious way to avoid the whole issue. Meanwhile Sakura has gotten up her courage and decided to just pounce on him.
