I wonder if anyone still reads this thing? I figured I should write something. And I'm very bored.
If there's something that completely kills one's creativity, it has to be school. High School, to be exact. I have a ton of exams and other tests coming up, and four essays and a philosophy paper to write. I had 36 hours of school this week (which is way too much for me) and I'm constantly tired and stressed out. It's very much affecting my fanfiction. I actually do have ideas (and an outline for a potentially long story) but not the time or energy to write them. Not to mention that everything I write, sucks ass.
But let's see. I have one Naruto oneshot done, but not ready to be posted (since I'm very uncomfortable with it) and a Gravitation PWP nearly done (but it sucks ass). Kamikaze... I'm stuck. Stuckety McStuck stuck. I've driven myself to a corner. Waah. I guess Kamikaze is going to have to wait a little longer.
Scar only gets some cold hand from Al. "I'll sleep with Father tonight." "Father, you're incredible!" /end unrelated FMA-humor.
Ach. Going have to force myself to write something now.

Well hello. I've been meaning to post something for a while, but I've never gotten around to it. Now, I thought might be a good time, since I just updated Kamikaze. Though, This Brilliant Dance is probably the main topic. I'm a huge fan of commentaries and behind the scenes stuff on DVDs, and I always love to read how something was made and why, so I'll say a few things about tBD, in case someone else is like me. Those who haven't read the whole story probably shouldn't read this.
( Cut for spoilers. Wouldn't want to ruin the mind-boggling surprises. )
After I finish Kamikaze, I have a couple of oneshots just waiting to be finished. At some point, I'm going to try to write something involving some rather yummy characters from Chrno Crusade (such a good anime and manga that everyone should see/read it). A oneshot or two if nothing else. If I get around to figuring out a plot, maybe something longer. We'll see. I have the first two of my final exams in September, so it might be a bit quiet on that front until then.
I was kind of hoping I'd get flamed for tBD, but I still haven't received one angry post saying I suck. Unless they're being sent to me by email, in which case I'd understand. The melancholy-protection.net email accounts have been acting up lately.
I'm very very tired. I think I'm going to go read some Under Grand Hotel (by Sadahiro Mika. I highly recommend this manga, as it is probably the hottest thing ever. Hot guys fucking in prison. Drool. Though it is getting sort of funny how Sen gets raped in practically every chapter) and then go to bed. Too tired to do homework.

You guys are never gonna believe this. Nuh-uh. Never.
I UPDATED. Yes, I, Kata-chan, updated Fe-malevolency. WITH FANFICTION. GASP!
Now the question remains: have you been missing me? =D Nooo, just kidding. Instead of telling me here and now how much ass I kick (..¬_¬ okay, I'm tired..), go and read my official comeback-fic. Tsubasa RESERVoir CHRoNiCLE, Kurogane x Fai, PWP, smut, fluff. I hope you like it. ^^
And now I'm off to bed. Have to get up at 7:30 am and go to work. Wah. Work. Work sucks. Why can't I write and draw and play videogames all day long and get paid for it? I guess life's not that fair.
And why oh why do I want to start playing DDR in the middle of the night? But hey, I told you I suck like a three dollar whore in DDR, but I'm a lot better nowadays. =D Let's just say I'm getting there with Max 300 standard. I'm not fast enough. Mwahaha.
Sleep. Right.
Let's hope for more updating, mm? Ja ne.

Unless I fall asleep before I intend to, This Brilliant Dance is ending TONIGHT. I'm inspired, and I'm on a roll. Everything is crystal clear in my head, and I have to finish it as soon as possible. I'm so not getting any sleep for hours.
What the hell am I going to do after this thing is finished.
Oh, yeah, Pocky is the evilest snack food ever invented. I bet there's a Big Bad mwa-ha-ha-ing at my addiction to Pocky. I need mooore!

Oh it's been so quiet.
So very quiet.
So. How are you all doing? I'm doing fine, thanks for asking. Haven't actually written anything in two months. Except some random Zoro x Luffy -fluff. Nothing worth finishing, tho. But now, hahaha, yesterday night I read everything I'd written of Closer and went all "awwsquee!" because I had completely forgotten what happened in it and I'm still such a sucker for SasuNaru. So, now I'm getting back to writing Closer. Yaaay!
*Listens to cicadas chirping*
Oh yes. Prepare for some heavy Fe-male-updates very soon.
Oh, writing fanfiction is so much fun.
Now I shall go and engage in intensive DDR-sessions. I downloaded StepMania and all the songs and mwahahaha it's on autoplay and I'M DANCING!! Though I suck like a three dollar whore, even the beginner's level is too hard for me. ¬_¬ Very very VERY addictive, I must admit.

A miracle! An update! Woo!
For a week or two, every night when I've gone to bed I've been haunted by This Brilliant Dance. I get this feeling of something rising when I get inspired, and it sucks to get that feeling when you have five hours before you have to get up for a seven-hour schoolday. Yeah. Anyway, eventually it got too annoying and one beautiful day, I sat down in front of my computer and opened Word, and wrote. I finished that wretched chapter eleven, and felt more accomplished than ever. Boy was that a hard chapter to write. I think it turned out nice.
I hope there was no one really dying out there because of the cliffhanger that was the end of chapter nine. Man I hate when people write stuff like that and then don't update for months. Sigh.
I kinda wish I would get that damn fic done soon and move on to other projects, which include a whole big bunch of one-shots with all sorts of fun sex, and Kamikaze. Oh Kamikaze, I have to finish that soon. Actually it's not going to be a very long fic, under ten chapters, so it'll be done pretty quickly. I just need to start working on it... Maybe this summer I'll have time. Or maybe not, I've booked all my weekends (I'm not kidding, I think I have like one or two weekends when I don't have anything planned). Also my summer will include muchos studying and two weeks in Sarasota, Florida at the end of July/beginning of August. Yay. Unless I can turn into a laptop, I probably won't get much writing done during that time. Also, I can't write when it's hot. And it's very hot in Florida.
Oh frell. I think I'm going to go sleep now. Hope everyone enjoyed chapter ten and my useless babbling. And maybe someone will even comment on that newest piece of fiction! Please?

Iris came to tell that she's not dead, so I came to do the same. I'm alive and kicking, but my laptop is dead. Hence no publishing anything until I can afford to buy a new one. And .. oh well, you never know what will happen.
This sucks.
Always look on the bright side of life: I don't have the block anymore! Yaaay!

It's been quiet around here.
I'm suffering from a very bad case of writer's block. I haven't written anything in over a week. Partly because I've been busy and tired, but also 'cause tBD scares me. Can't really explain it, it just scares me and I can't write anything. Sigh.
I turned 18 last Friday. :D
And I think that now I'll get back to staring at DC++, waiting for stuff to download. I've gone crazy over Malice Mizer and Gackt, but shh, don't tell anyone. I'm still sort of in denial over the fact that I find Gackt extremely attractive.
Just popped by to say that I'm not dead.

I updated today. Ooh. I uploaded two chapters of Kamikaze, since I thought I had already uploaded chapter two ages ago. I probably won't update in a while, since I haven't really been writing much, and am always rather tired after school. Damn school.
Boy do I love Kamikaze. I always have so much fun writing it. Chapter three was exceptionally fun, with the whip and penetration with the whip and everything. That scene haunted me for weeks and I needed to write it down. It's still haunting me, actually. I think it'll never leave me alone. Not that I mind having two naked bishies and a whip on my mind. Especially when one of them is my dahling Tatsuha.
Kata got a funny review on her story The Stare. I wish I weren't so short-tempered, I'd email that person and comment on her (I'm making a wild assumption that the reviewer is female, based on the tone of the review) review, since there were some things that I just found to be utter rubbish (my favorite British expression, hee). Sure, she made a couple of good points, from which I, as a beta, will learn and grow from. It's hard for people who don't speak English as their native language to write English perfectly after some ten years or so of studying/speaking/reading it.
And when writing a review, one should always remember to keep their tone in check. It really kills the credibility of the review when the reviewer sounds like a teenage girl on her period.
Sorry Kata-chan if you didn't want that review to be discussed, but I just had to rant a bit on the subject and this is probably the best forum for that.
And now, I believe there is a sandwich with my name on it. Fire bad, tree pretty, food yummy.

Whooo!! I just got my first flame! First flame ever! This must be celebrated! Warm sake and fried tentacles for everyone!
*Boogies*
Thanks to the hilarious flame, I've been laughing my head off the whole afternoon. *Wipes tears from eyes* It was about Elegy, and that is such a huge non-surprise. You either love it or you hate it. There is absolutely no way you can think nothing of it.
Ohh, flames are so much fun.

Oi! I just remembered that I have chapter 4 of Closer (written BWB - Before Writer's Block), I could go and upload it. In case you want it. Do you want it? Do you want it, huh? How MUCH do you want it?
..what tease? XD
Shall retreat to watch Naruto 75 and read more of You Higuri's DIVINE manga, Ludwig II. Oh I'm completely head over heels for Hornig. *Hearts* And so is the King, but duh, that's SO obvious.

Just a quick note: Iris, when you update, care to download the newest updates from FTP, so I wouldn't have to upload all my updates again? When you update tBD, all my newest Naruto-fics disappear. ¬_¬ Whoa, I made it public, damn me. =D But you're not in Messenger right now and damn I'm too lazy to send you an email. And damn I'm good at explaining stuff.
I still have the writer's block, I can't even type and my head's blank. I can't even write normal stuff into my blog. Nothing clever comes out. My grammar has flown out of the window. My vocabulary is reduced to "hunh?" and "say wha?". This is painful. I mean, really painful.
Apathetic.
Videogames have probably damaged my brain. La la la.
And I dress like an activist.

I'm frustrated. I NEED to write a KakaIru-PWP, as a small vacation from This Brilliant Dance. My need to write KakaIru-smut won't go away by simply writing a sex scene into tBD, and at this point it's quite impossible anyway. I need some hot Kakashi x Iruka action, without the emotional baggage that comes with tBD. Damn it. And I'm afraid that after I finish tBD, I won't be able to write any more KakaIru. At least not for a long while. Damn. Damn damn damn.
Oh, and this was brought on by a massive writer's block. I'm struggling with chapter ten. And I should be sleeping! Arrgh!
- Iris.
EDIT: I RULE. I managed to finish chapter ten. I'm so happy. Hopefully I'll get chapter nine online by Wednesday. Yes. I'm aiming for a Wednesday update.
I so deserve sleep now.

I forget our password all the time.
I haven't been too much around lately, been busy attending parties, being drunk, talking about tentacles and loving Legacy of Kain - Defiance affectionately. And I still have a bit of a writer's block thing going on AND I managed to get over most of the SasuNaru-fanaticism I've been suffering from for almost three months now. That's worth a huge "yay!" because it means I will probably be able to write something else than SasuNaru for a change and still keep the interest to continue writing Simple Things (which is still frying my brain) and Closer.
And being all wacky about everything Legacy of Kain will probably produce some interesting ficlets.. I searched the whole 'net for some Janos x Raziel (face it, those two are SO in love!), but the couple of fics I found were rather .. well, I'd say morbid. Luckily it didn't destroy the pairing for me, those two together are cute beyond words. So I'm once again attempting a suicide, trying to write cute, angsty and completely innocent yet unmistakably slashy Janos x Raziel from Raziel's POV. The suicide comes in when you think of Raziel's vocabulary.. ¬_¬
And Elder God's tentacles amuse me endlessly.
I'm waiting for the Scar x Alphonse to write itself.
I got a nosebleed last night. A real nosebleed. It made me roll on the floor, laughing like no tomorrow. Was playing Defiance. =D The bleed was because my nose accidentally hit something. Like my hand. I'll have to remind myself not to start flailing like that ever again. It hurt. In addition to being simply hilarious.
Now I want cookies and tea. And more Defiance. La la la.

And the bug is called MS Word. It's getting on my nerves. Damn spellcheck. 'Naked' is a real word! I wish you had atleast complained about 'hot naked sex' not being a proper sentence... but nooo. And of course you have to change the language settings in the middle of a friggin' sentence. No, I am NOT writing in Swedish, damn it! Argh.
I'm writing. I wrote two pages of tBD chapter ten so fast that I didn't even realize it. And now I shall ramble a bit about this story, and I will do my best not to spoil anything, but if you don't want to know ANYTHING, stop reading. I'm too cranky to do a LJ-cut, so bug off.
If chapters eight and nine can be described with the word 'entropy' (well, aleast they're close enough to what entropy means on a non-physics level), then chapter ten is the calm before the storm, when you're seeing the clouds but not hearing the thunder. Just a little bit longer, and you'll find out what the hell is going on in Konoha. We're almost half-way through (I hope). After chapter 11, things'll start picking up their pace. I hope. This story just keeps surprising me and I never know where it'll go, even though I have everything written down and planned.
Man, I didn't realize this story was going to turn out like this. I'm having a hard time deciding whether or not to change the ending I had planned, since I'm not sure is that the message I should be sending out. I know, I know, this isn't Masterpiece Theatre, and I don't have to think about what kind of values my stories represent, but hey, can't help it. And since I have quite questionable morals when it comes to certain things (and no, I'm not a crazy law-breaking vandal), I'm not sure do I want my baby to be the same way. And it's very possible that I'm just over-reacting. I just want This Brilliant Dance to be, in a way, perfect.
I really should start writing original fiction. I wouldn't sound so crazy. It's kind of insane to get this way over a fanfic.
And for those whom may be interested, Kamikaze chapter three is finished. I just need to fix a couple of things, and send it Kata-chan to be beta'ed and then it'll be all ready to be posted.
Okay. I have one thing to say about the picture I posted yesterday: if the person in it was anyone else, I'd be happy as can be, but Gai? And Rock Lee's face over his privates? To that, a world of no.
This was a small break from writing. Now it's time to fight with Word again.

I threw in my own update too, so now all of you, be nice and go read chapter 3 of Closer and that SasuNaru-smutfic I told you about. And be sure to read that chapter 8 of Iris' This Brilliant Dance too. Now, go, go. *Ushers* I think we need a new layout. I'm growing sick of that violet. Iris, any ideas? Note that I will refuse all the tentacle-oriented ideas on default.
Naruto OST II's Raikiri owns my ass. Orochimaru's Theme owns my ass too. They share it. Bad guys always have the best theme songs. Think about Sephiroth. One Winged Angel. Whoa. (And how appropropriate that I've always hated Sasuke's Theme without even knowing it is Sasuke's. Mwahah. That kid has the lamest theme song ever. Sasuke, you suck!)
And Iris gets the Total Crack Up of the Day -award for mentioning Shamshel right out of the blue.
And I have a writer's block. Let's all cheer for that! Yaaay! /sarcasm.
And because I'm a gamer-nerd, I shall now go and engage in some serious asskicking with stupid Sarafan warrior priests in Legacy of Kain: Soul Reaver 2. I could tell you a whole lotta things about Janos x Raziel (..on the topid of necrophilia..), but shall pass - for now. All I'm gonna say is that Janos is as gay as a tree full of pink parakeets singing George Michael's songs.

Yup. I updated. Chapter eight of This Brilliant Dance is online. And as I said on the front page, I only have one word for this chapter. Entropy. Same goes for chapter nine as well. Entropy. The word of the day. That reminds me, I have to remember to check the Sumerian Word of the Day -livejournal. I love sumerian and I can finally learn it! :D
It's been so long since I wrote chapter eight that I noticed I had made some continuity errors in chapter nine. Damn. Must remember to fix those.
I watched a yaoi anime called Fish in the Trap last night. It was nice, although it seemed to be just a prequel to the manga, which I HAVE to get. Ooh.
What is it with yaoi and rape? Yesterday was a total gangbang day for me. Um. That didn't come out right... What I mean is that I got Gravitation volume 4 yesterday and it has the Taki-thing in it. You know, with Taki and his gorillas, who have some non-con fun with Shuichi. Poor kid, by the way. And how tame is that bit in the anime?! You couldn't tell if they raped or just beat up Shuichi. In the manga it's so obvious. One of the reasons why I prefer the manga. And with the gangbangs... Fish in the Trap had a scene that I guess was supposed to either be a gangbang, or a "you bang we watch"-thing. Anything goes for me, it had naked boys rubbing against each other.
Poor Shamshel.
I'm bored, waah. I guess I'll go write Kamikaze, since I don't feel like writing anything too serious right now. Kamikaze's my slapstick-baby.
I feel like I'm forgetting something. Hmm.

Iris, you're going over the line. =D You're scaring all the readers away. No way necrophilia is going to be the new incest. But if it makes you feel better, I am willing to read that GenHaya fic of yours. Though the idea does give me the creeps. ¬_¬
I want to write Scar x Alphonse! *Flails* And I will, when I get a good idea for it. And dear gods no, it won't be yaoi! That'd be waaaay too kinky. There's no way I would write a lemon involving an armor. And I have no idea exactly how can you have sex with an armor. O_o And I don't want to think about it. Iris, shut up! You will not defile poor Alphonse for me! XD! So the fic would be just some introspective fluff from Al's POV. He's so cute. *Pats Al's armor* And Scar likes him.
Simple Things is frying my brain. It's a demonic fic. It hates me. It doesn't want to come out the way I want it to. But when it does come out, it comes out overly angsty. I am your master, Simple Things! Kneel before me! That fic needs a good ol' spanking.
On the subject of spanking.. now I'm getting ideas. Not suitable for Scar x Al. Darn it.
I wonder if Iris has The Stare all beta-read for me. So I could go and update.

Okay, remember that Genma x Hayate-fic I talked about? Well, I'm writing it. Inspiration struck, and damnit I just have to write this thing. I probably won't write the oh-so-morbid lemon before I think it through properly, but I've already written a page of the fic. Great. I shall go down in history as the sick and twisted chick who writes necrophiliac gay porn. I am so proud of myself. Note the sarcasm. Sick and twisted aside, this'll be a challenge. This Brilliant Dance is a challenge plot-wise, since I suck with plots, and this GenHaya will be a challenge lemon-wise. Yay. I like challenges when they involve boy love.
I got inspired really suddenly. Didn't even finish the fic I was reading. Hmh. I really to start writing more new Naruto PWP's so I can join a community. Hmh.
I promise to update tBD tomorrow. Way too busy with an angsty Jounin right now.
(I just thought of something. No one is going to WANT to read my GenHaya. DAMN.)
- Iris.
EDIT: I just remembered that not everyone on the Internet is as nice and polite as I am, and I have no idea who reads this stuff, so I'll just make a note that if anyone of you has the guts to steal my idea for this fic, I will find you and play with your viscera. Thank you.
