So today's been a productive day.

-I finally got pants and boots for my Kaede costume. Although the boots are made for winter and are awfully warm, but oh well.
-I got my butt to Burger King to get the new Pokémon toys. I got a Pikachu standee with a card, but I haven't opened it yet (should I?)
-I found out I won an icontest! There were two themes and everyone else did Izzy, so my Game Over icon was all by its lonesome...but finally, making Oikawa icons paid off! And it wasn't that complicated either; the hardest thing was brushing the timestamp off Yukio's hair.
-And I made pokemacros. I was very surprised that I couldn't find any Pokémon macro comms already, but hey.

Oh yeah, I wrote three fics, all about the same characters. Violence for 30_kisses, then cowrote Dream and Normal with angellover89 for rocket100. Violence is...pretty sadistic but only has one direct act of violence despite the title, Dream is a crackfic and has some gross humor, while Normal has illness-related things and an excerpt from an indavertently hilarious sex scene from some novel (Buson's reading it aloud and it actually makes Bashou laugh). Oh yeah, and Normal is a followup to Dream, so read Dream first.
It occurs to me how few of my fics really tie into each other, so Dream>Normal>(rest of the arc) is a rarity. Probably because I usually kill characters off (like in Violence) that I need back in later fics.

Now to resume work on the two Sacredshippy fics I was doing.



Oh yes, this past week there was some...interesting news. You know Anime Evolution, the fic I go to British Columbia for? It was scheduled for the week before Kumoricon, so next month...and then we get emails saying that AE has been "postponed". Apparently the place it was going to be at decided to have teacher conferences instead, even though AE's been scheduled since early this year. So now they're trying to find a new location for that weekend (it won't interfere with Kumori, though--people are very insistant that it not, since there's another con in Seattle at the same time as well). I'm good with pretty much whenever, but a lot of people are possibly out a considerable amount of money.

And, since I started off the entry talking at least partially about icons, here's some of the others I've made recently! Most of them about Jiri, of course.
God damn, it took me this long to realize that two verses of that song fit Jiri in that scene perfectly? There's something WRONG with me, considering how long I spent obsessed with that movie.
Yes I did another Jiri icon with that caption. I don't care.
I don't know if these are funny or sad. Or both.
'sup indeed.
NotJiri is...interesting. He's like Jiri, but he's a raving lunatic psycho and is totally undistingushed.


And speaking of raving lunatic psychos! Because when am I going to have a segue like that again? (ok, probably more than one would think) I made FFVI icons playing off a recent icon trend which is probably nearly over now that the movie it's about is finally out.



I need someone to kick me into gear with Turquoise and/or Obsession. You all know the drill. And on the subject of "the drill", remember to look at my fics to see what you think I should submit to Kumoricon. Although since I'm working at it, I can only submit three fics total, so that limits the playing field even more, but hey, ANY suggestions work!

Oh yes, I found a fanvid that does what's so rare in the fandom--it UNDERSTANDS Oikawa. It's awesome so I thought I'd spread it around.

See you next time!
