::browsing Witch Hunter Robin fanfic on ff.net::

Can you believe there is practically zero yaoi here? And yet... the Naruto section is overflowing with it almost to the exclusion of non-yaoi pairings.

I don't know if I've seen a anime category on ff.net that appears to have so little yaoi as the WHR page does...

Also, I'm seeing a lot of Michael/Robin. As much as Amon/Robin, which is surprising to me, though I'm not sure why.

Sadly, there's very little Sakaki fanfic. ::pout:: And when is Telekinetic going to be updated again?

Fic I am currently working on:

Mon Autre Vie (Fruits Basket) - I am going to finish this. I am.

Untitled Kakashi/Kabuto dark smutfic (Naruto) - This is the closest to being done, as I'm about half way. I'll post it only when I've completed it.

Dane (Harry Potter) - Oh I am *definitely* going to complete this one. This would be my big fic. My baby. My blending of Shakespeare and Potterverse where there's lots of pain and angst and death. I am determined to see it through.


Fic I might or might not update:

Hell and Details (Inu Yasha) - I still have some ideas on this one...


Dead fic:

Orpheus Child (Cowboy Bebop) - ::cries:: I really wanted to write this one, but I was eventually hit with the hard cold fact that, as much as I enjoy reading him, I can't write Spike. I just can't.

Homeward Bound (Naruto) - this stopped because I watched too much of the anime past the point where the fic is in the timeline and it's too hard to think backward.

pimpin and confessing my addiction

I asked for more Leadbelly fic two days ago, and today sidewalksg updated with chapter 43.

It's absolutely unnatural how emotionally invested I am in this fanfic. I'm more invested in this story as a current on-going WIP than I think I have been in any other long-running fic in any fandom, especially since those Buffy fics that affected me the most were finished and complete by the time I got to them. With She Wanted to Die & Leadbelly, I literally wait on pins and needles. I need this fic to continue. I have to know where its going, how it ends, what the final words will say. I would actually have an emotional reaction on a largeish scale were it somehow not to be finished.

So, sidewalksg, don't you dare get struck by lightning or anything stupid like that. I need you alive to finish this fic for me. I will suffer if I don't get emotional pay-off. You don't want me to suffer, do you? So stay healthy and keep your typing fingers healthy and continue to make me your fic's bitch.

I really like my coworkers. They range from from 10 years older than me to 40+ years older than me (with the exception of the one other young temp guy, Dustan.) In some ways I don't like this because it means that they're all a generation or more older than me and I can't really relate to them as peers. On the other hand, they're all very nice and intelligent people, and the ones near me like to joke around with each other a lot. Which I like, because I get the fun of being included in "adult" coworker relationships and I can have fun talking to them in way that I can't with my classmates because I know already that they are not total numbskulls or mooks or drama-addicts; it's not something I have to wait and see to find out. It's refreshing because the weird angst that comes from associating with my peers who mostly act like teenagers still (not saying I don't do this too) is totally absent with this group. It all feels so very mature, and its nice to feel included in that.

I know I'm still new and it could be that by the end of summer I'll be officially "in" enough to be able to recognize the drama and stuff if its there, but right now I'm happy to go to work around people that I just like being around and not have to worry about whether they like me or not or whether they are sending me evil looks behind my back. That whole social stress aspect of my last job, ice cream at the mall, is gone.
