Sorry for being a little late. Wasn't at home today.

Summary: Albus and Gellert share a bottle, a cause, and a general way of doing things.
Author's Notes: A response to 31_days's prompt for September 2nd: [you illustrate the sun's true candor]. Er, not written for that challenge, or it'd be horribly late - just inspired by.

( It was nice to simply succumb to the inevitable, and worry about the hangover in the morning. )

Title: Short end of the Stick
Fandom: Hikaru no Go
Characters: Ochi, Shindou
Wordcount/Rating:  584 words / G
Summary: It was Not Really A Good Idea, but even so it had sounded like a Really Cool One.
Author's Notes: Obata Takeshi's art can be the source of much humor and pain.

It's been more than a month since yukitsu posted the last drabble/shortfic to this community! So, like the good moderator I should have been the last time this happened, I am posting to please ask someone to claim the line "I CAN’T EVEN MOVE MY ARMS, YOU BIG DOLT!" (Capitalization opional.) The line should be claimed here, at the community entry.

Secondly. I think there may have been some confusion about how a line should be claimed when the fic in question is crossposted -- meaning, when it's posted to some other journal or community, with the post at chain_of_fics linking to the other place. There's nothing in the community rules against crossposting, and in fact members are welcome to do it, as long as the entry at chain_of_fics otherwise follows the RULES FOR POSTING laid out in the community profile. HOWEVER, so that there will not be any confusion about claims, I am going to lay out a few rules for crossposted entries:

1. Don't use fake livejournal cuts -- make it clear in story notes or in the link text that the fic in question resides at another journal or location.

2. Don't disable comments to the community entry.

3. In order to be valid, claims must be made to the community entry, and not to the other entry.

Does this seem fair? I don't want to be overly controlling, or anything, I just worry that would-be claimants will have trouble figuring out, with all the noise a personal or fic journal can get from regular readers, whether or not a fic has been claimed yet. Claims: here, comments: there is what has tended to happen naturally, anyway; I'm just formalizing it.

If no one has any objections, I'll update the community rules with a link to this post on Sunday.

P.S. Sorry for the quintuple post. ;_; I seem to be LJ-challenged today.

Title: Rude Awakening
Fandom: Genshiken
Characters: Madarame
Wordcount/Rating: 450+ words / G
Summary: Madarame starts seeing another side to his existence.
Author's Notes: Some things I think we all grapple with, to be honest. I had wanted to write more Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei (the line speaks so strongly of Fuura!) but then as I was washing dishes just now, Madarame from Genshiken popped into my head. And you know ... I wanted--nay, needed to write that.
