dagronratHeads up: Got thingamy/Dongle. Confirmed. Internet Access GOT.
♥ Thanks Mom! ♥
Now have lots of reading to catch up on, but first, to celebrate (and because am braindead)...
==
1) Keyboard or biro? Both. Although lately it's mostly keyboard, I do write on paper when I want to be able to do so on the move, or am merely inspired in the middle of doing doodles. CQDEC* was completely written on paper before being posted, same for what's posted of it's sequel, O2J*, although both were written before my laptop days and I was on the move. ^^; ... I think the main reason I tend to prefer Keyboard over pen of late is because it's easier to find the document if you haven't touched it for a while.
2) Beta or no beta? Sometimes yes, sometimes no. Have only discovered betaing of late, so most my fics are unbetaed. I do however regularly jump at random people on msn to ask for advice and/or ask them to read over incase of major plot holes or OOC that could be nipped in the bud thanks to them.
3) Title? Sometimes before (LAG) sometimes after (CQDEC was codenamed EdogawaReturn until I found a title.) Some plot ideas come with, some without.
4) Smushy or smutty? I don't think I do much of either, but I probably lean towards smushy over smutty. I think I've only made characters kiss 3 times in all my published fics.
5) Summary? They are challenging things to make. Jolly useful for readers, but if I could get away without? I would. In multiparters I tend to use one sentance premise, one sentance description of latest chappy.
6) Funniest fic? My drabbles in french seem to be fun. (And yes, that includes the Kogoro-Ayumi one.) My first One Shot "Diddle Diddle Dumpling" was categorized as humour too. Although I guess "Lion's Ruby" is humour as well. And since I fail at evaluating jokes, I'll just say it's probably One of this lot.
7) Most popular fic? LAG. I think the SSR in front of the summary has something to do with it. Followed by Darkness(by reviews) or Translation please(by hits) although the latter is cheating since it's a collection of translated one shots. CQDEC seems to be my most read french fic. (But then again, it's my longest.)
8) Most Fun to Write? Lion's Ruby. Until I got writer's block and lost my plot notes. That, and the fics that "write themselves" for example: DDD*, CQDEC*, Darkness, (most my on impulse done one shots)... Oh, and "She likes old wines" was a sadistic pleasure. >c3
9) Best and Worst? Best: CQDEC. 8cD It's utterly full of spelling mistakes, poor style and junk, but it's IC, post-DC and I'm proud of the plot. It has a TWIST, and I pulled it off. Also my first COMPLETED Multichapter, and french fic, so yeah, I'm biased. (Also has illustrations for each chappy!)
If you want to see my best at writing, my one shots are probably better.
Worst: Not counting unpublished ones? Some of my drabbles are poor, but my brain comes up with my "Near-Rape" fic that I did for a fic contest. It seemed okay on the day, but heh. I'm not that proud of it. (Is in french and I'm not translating it.) My brain also comes up with O2J because: LOST PLOT.
10) Coulda Been Contenders? "Memories," my first fic ever. Well, not really, but I feel I could have/may still be able to do more with it then I did.
11) Strengths? I can write fairly decently in TWO languages. >cD Aheum. And translate rather fast from one to the other... But I think that's not what you were asking, right? Right. Humm... "Suspense" in the broad sense and IC characters... With a dash of poetic apparently.
12) Weaknesses? TYPOS, frenglish, SLOW and lazy. Am better at writing about characters I'm interested in, such as Ai Haibara, the BO. Am lousy at kissing scenes (thinking of SR* here.) Oh. And easily distracted. Did I say SLOW? SLOW. Also too many WIP.
13) Dirty little secrets? I have a tremendously badly written lemon on my HD, which I'm never showing anyone ever. The reason I say this here? Because I'm sadistic enough to torture you with it. You want to see? You want to prove me wrong? Well a) you can't and b) it's in french. I also have a Yaoi plunny waiting to be continued.
14) (What? I like fourteen.)

Date: 2006-09-28 12:07 am (UTC)XD I think most people prefer writing about characters they're interested in, and that's when they can do their best work. I find that if I don't "bond" with a character or two in a series, I probably won't even get fanfic ideas at all. Or if I do, I won't be able to skillfully pull them off!
Kogoro and Ayumi? That must be amusing. I didn't think they ever interacted that much.
My dirty little secret.... I can't stop wondering how someone would actually write Gin/Vodka shounen-ai (not yaoi, just shounen-ai), especially since you said you actually saw such a fic. XD I would never write such a thing myself, and I would probably get creeped out if I read such a fic, but I can't stop wondering how someone would try to make it half-way believable. I just can't see it being able to be done while keeping them IC.
no subject
Date: 2006-09-28 02:03 am (UTC)If it's just shonen-ai, it's possible in my opinion... The special relationship between Gin and Vodka could be a good base for this pairing...
But well, I think a one-sided shonenai is possible but a true romance between those two....(Shudders)
I could see Vodka feeling attraction toward Gin, but for Gin...No, I don't think he could be infatued with Vodka...XD
Gin/Akai?XD
Well, it's not the same thing, I could see Gin beeing attracted/fascinated by Akai and a strange and ambigus relationship between those two...Xd
In fact, I could only seen Gin beeing fascinated by someone(Akai, Sherry...or Eiri...@_@), It's more difficult for me to imagine him trully in love...Just my opinion anyway...^^
Oh and by the way, with the subject, I wanted to ask you...In blackorghq rules, you wrotte...
"Though, while we do not support or discourage any pairings, we do prefer if shounen-ai and shoujo-ai are kept out of this community."
I wonder, were the last words necessary?
I could understand you don't like to see Shoujoai and/or shonenai with the MIB, but maybe some people would love?
Personnaly, I don't trully care, I don't think I will post someday my shoujoai fic with the WIB on the comm(I've already made a Ran/Sherry which take place before the manga, and I think sooner or later I will try the Vermouth/Sherry or the Vermouth/Jodie challenge....XD), those fic are/would be in french anyway... But a comm must be open...
True, blackorghq is a comm about the MIB, not a comm about yaoi/yuri pairing but if we post romance about Gin,(And I hope we will also seen romance with Vermouth, Vodka or everybody else in the org in the future)why forbid or discouraged some pairing because it's shonen/shoujo ai?
If it was for pairing not related to MIB(Shinichi/Ran or Heiji/Kazuha for example), I could understood but...
I think than if the author try to keep the character IC and to wrote trully interessing fic instaed of just stupid and boring smut, the result could be worth to be read...
It's not trully a complain, just a suggestion...
Don't take it personnaly and honestly it would not bother me if the rules of the blackorghq remain the same...;)
It's mainly a question I ask...^^

Date: 2006-09-30 12:42 pm (UTC)Ah ok...^^
"It's true that it doesn't seem to be that way in the DC fandom"
Well, dc yaoi fan are not interessed by the MIB, they tend to remain in the Hakuba/Kaito,Kaito/Shinichi,Shinichi/Heiji stuff...
The yuri fan wrote mostly about Aoko/Akako...
So far, I've only seen three fic about my OTP(Shiho/Ran), the one wrote by Dag(*_*), the one June made for my birthday(@_@) and one little drabble made just to broke Conan's brain...Sigh...-_-
But well, It's the reason I wrote two fics about those two...Ran deserve better than Shinichi and Ai deserve better than Conan...Xp
Just kidding...But well, Shiho/Ran is the best pairing in DC anyway...X) XD
Oops...I digress...^^;
"I'm confident that all of the comm members are mature, though, and that if they did write some shounen-ai or shoujo-ai thing, they would try to keep it as IC as possible."
Every fic, het, shonen ai or shoujo ai SHOULD be made in trying to keep the character as IC as possible anyway...^^

Date: 2006-09-30 01:02 pm (UTC)... I think I read a doujin/shi with that once...
Worse thing was, it was actually part of a funny doujin with Kid stalking Conan. (The Conan-Ayumi part was FREAKY though. >_>;; )
*hides in shame*
And I think it's very possible for Ai to see Ran as something else than an Akemi look alike.no subject

Date: 2006-09-30 02:38 pm (UTC)Much, much brain hurt and crack.
Very much brainhurt.
Ouch.
(Like, Akemi with a penis. OMG NO. And GIANT Conan. Which Ayumi takes in her stride. And I'd better stop there before I traumatize anyone.)no subject
Date: 2006-09-30 11:59 pm (UTC)O_o
(Shudders)
Insaneladybug had just broke my brain with the idea than an Akemi/Shiho pairing is possible(Maybe made a fic to exorcise that...strange..idea and out it outside of my head)and then you shamelessly footing my last piece of sanity...Y-Y
God, doushinjin drawer are worst than me...Et c'est aussi rassurant qu'effrayant...^^;
But the idea of Kid going around as random people, leaving a notice for Conan, warning him he was going to steal the virginity of such and such... it's just priceless...XD
I guess than Ran is on the thief's list...X)

And yes Ai seemed to see Ran like a great sister but feelings like people evolves, in my honest opinion, so with time, she could seen Ran like something more...
For Akemi/Shiho...Sometimes...I think I've made this poor Ai a sister complexed girl in my fics, even the non-Shiho/Ran...^^;
Akemi/Shiho...Akemi/Shiho...No, I must not made incest pairing...X(
But well...It's cute in an insane way...*_*
Argh I know it was a very bad idea to watch Koi Kaze...X(
No, I will never made Akemi/Shiho fic, never, never, NEVER!!
N.E.V.E.R!!!

Date: 2006-09-30 12:57 pm (UTC)Kogoro and Ayumi, a drabble... I posted it on
... Hummm, Shoot. I remember reading it on
If ever I do find it, will prod you...
Which reminds me, I forgot to tape Vodka's french voice and put it online for you, didn't I? Dc:no subject
Date: 2006-09-30 01:16 pm (UTC)Yes, you did forget! But oh well, any time you can get to it is fine. XD
You still need to write that list of why Gin/Vodka would not work! LOL.
no subject
Date: 2006-09-30 01:28 pm (UTC)Yeah, and she should made that list of five reasons why Ran/Shiho is just better than Conan/Ai...
No Dag, I didn't forget...X)

Date: 2006-09-30 01:30 pm (UTC)Well Ai is not as sarcastic than most of fic writer love to describe her...
But it's just so funny to made her break Conan's brain...I could not resist myself...X)
But well, I digress...
Honestly, you don't need to made her sarcastic to mad eher IC...^^
