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.)
*DDD = Diddle diddle dumpling (OneShot English)

Date: 2006-09-30 12:45 pm (UTC)Bien sur, je compte bien lui faire une bonne fin, mais on sait jamais."Et comme à cause de toi, je suis devenu fan du Night baron...^_^"
.... Xc3 *Happy Dagron!*
"En tout cas, je suis rentré dedans tout de suite alors que j'ai beaucoup plus de mal avec CQDCE..."
Humm, il est vrai que comme CQDEC c'est ma premiere fic en français, elle doit présenter pas mal de lourdeurs/erreurs que mes fics plus récentes n'ont pas. Je les corrigerais probablement si jamais je traduis cette fic mais corriger la version française? Je dois avouer une flemmardise et une rétissance.
N'empêche, je me dois de poser la question:
Sais tu en particulier ce qui t'empêche de rentrer dans l'histoire avec CQDEC? Une Dagron curieuse aimerait savoir... ^^;
Aussi, il est vrai que CQDEC est probablement l'un de mes plus "classique" dans l'histoire.""Am lousy at kissing scenes (thinking of SR* here.) "
Well, I don't know, maybe you must try with another pairing?"
Well, I've done Spade and Heart kissing as kids (which was too jolly awkward,) (Shinichi and Ran in a drabble once too, but that was to gross out the kid,) Ran and Shiho (which was most recent and less awkward, I admit, but I was iffy about it) and Kaito and Aoko (wait, that one I wasn't too nervous about?!) I think... O_o;
I don't know, I'm just under the impression I can't write kisses, but maybe that's just me.
"I know for a fact you don't dislike Shinichi/Ran but I don't know if you trully love this pairing..."
Don't lynch me, butI don't think I'm too fussed about pairings in fics. I'm more interested in the individuals then whether they end up "together." Admittedly, I like happy endings too, but they don't always have to be X and Z lived together happily ever after. (Even if it helps. *shot*)"Well described feelings are more interessing than well-described kiss...^^"
I'll definitely keep that in mind. Thanks. ^^
"What was the pairing of this fic?^^"
Supposed to be Shiho and Heiji, although it started out as Shiho and Takagi but when I dare to glance over it again I think more Shiho and "random guy" and want to forget the fic ever happened. I said it was bad.no subject
Date: 2006-09-30 01:17 pm (UTC)Bah j'ai confiance...^^
Mais c'est vrai qu'écrire une bonne fin, c'est loin d'être facile...^^;
""Et comme à cause de toi, je suis devenu fan du Night baron...^_^"
.... Xc3 *Happy Dagron!*"
Arf, j'en vient même à rêver d'un affrontement Kid/Night baron...Yusaku, un jour ou l'autre je ferais de toi le boss de l'org..X)
"Sais tu en particulier ce qui t'empêche de rentrer dans l'histoire avec CQDEC? Une Dagron curieuse aimerait savoir... ^^; "
Hum...
J'imagine que mon côté anti Shinichi/Ran a du me bloquer un peu pour certains passages, mais bon d'une part ce n'est pas un problème inherent à la fic mais à mes goûts personnels et d'autre part Shiho y jouait un rôle suffisament important pour que j'accroche à l'histoire...
Hum...
En fait, je pense que le principal problème pour moi, c'est que tu as essayé de faire une enquête policière post-org, j'ai rien contre le principe en lui même, ca peut donner des resultats intéressants, mais le problème c'est qu'il faut aussi créer des bad guy capable de rivaliser avec nos MIB préférés(En tout cas c'était nécessaire dans ta fic puisque c'était plutôt du thrill schock suspense qu'une enquête à proprement parler, enfin ce n'est que mon avis, hein?^^; )
Or les "méchants" de ta fic me paraissaient infiniment moins fascinants que Gin et Vermouth, enfin après je n'ai pas lu la fic jusqu'au bout(pour l'instant) donc je ne peut pas vraiment juger...En tout cas, aussi loin que j'avais lu, ils ne m'avaient pas autant accroché que les bad guy de l'oeuvre originale et comme j'ai tendnace à aimer les méchants autant, sinon plus parfois, que les gentils...^^;
Voilà, je ne sait pas si ca peut t'aider mais aussi loin que je m'en rappelle c'était ça qui m'avait posé problème...
Alors que le Night baron m'a tout de suite entrainé dans Nuit d'étoiles...X)
"Don't lynch me, but I don't think I'm too fussed about pairings in fics. I'm more interested in the individuals then whether they end up "together." Admittedly, I like happy endings too, but they don't always have to be X and Z lived together happily ever after. (Even if it helps. *shot*)"
(Claude take his favorite rope)
Well...X)
Like I've said to insaneladybug once, pairing is beside all, a tool to explore charachter personnalities, show how the one affect the other and vice-versa, and create dark/fluffy/angsty/sweet scene...
And it's also a wonderful plot's device...
In fact, what I love the most in a pairing is to made evolve slowly the feeling the character feels for each other and I tend to love the ambigous relationship in general, in a love or a friendship way(Kakuba and Kaito for example...)...
That's why I tend to dislike some pairing like Shinichi/Ran, with the childhood lover thing, there isn't a relation which can evolve and with the "They are soulmates who could bring perfect happyness to each other until the end of their joyful married life once they could declare their feeling to each other" stuff, the pairing is boring...
A good romance is, in my opinion, a romance where the main difficulties are inside the couple and not only outside...And a difficult/impossible romance is more human and touching than librairy of perfect couple...
Just my opinion in the matter...^^
So...I will not lynch you...XD
"Supposed to be Shiho and Heiji, although it started out as Shiho and Takagi but when I dare to glance over it again I think more Shiho and "random guy" and want to forget the fic ever happened. I said it was bad."
Shiho/Takagi? O_o
no subject
Date: 2006-09-30 02:24 pm (UTC)That would explain why Conan/Ran can be more touching at times than victorious Shinichi coming home. They also have trust issues, but that's over used.
"Shiho/Takagi? O_o"
Don't ask. >_>;;;

Date: 2006-09-30 02:40 pm (UTC)(Cough) I think, one day, I will(cough) try to wrotte a Shinichi/Ran fic that I could enjoy...But I think the Shinichi/Ran's fan will hate me more for this fic than they must already hate me...XD
(Faut dire qu'avec le casier judiciaire que je me paye: Gin/Ran, Ran/Shiho, Ran/Haibara, Conan/Ai, Shinichi/Shiho...^^;)

God, sometimes I wonder if some people know what's review is...Y-Y
