Long story short, I've got a huge ego and the popularity of some of these fics has brought me to a creative standstill. I feel an overwhelming pressure to perform, which, of course, means nothing gets written. I haven't written since August--I'm out of practice, and no longer as good as I was over the summer. I need to work back to that point, but I can't if I keep comparing what I write now to what I wrote when I wasn't, you know, so rusty.
So! I'm starting over new. __kirisaite will still be here to house all my old fic, but everything I write from now on out will be at betokens. Feel free to friend it if you want to stick with me! I'm going to work my skills back up from the bottom.
Title: and everything we've lost disappears Fandom: Neon Genesis Evangelion Rating: R Pairings: Mostly gen, but contains Shinji/Rei, Shinji/Kaworu, Kaji/Asuka, etc. Genre: For the most part: dark, angst, genfic Word Count: 3007 Warnings: Violence, disturbing content, spoilers, nongraphic sexual situations. Notes: 24 Evangelion drabbles/vignettes done to a themeset consisting of the tracknames from the Silent Hill 3 OST. Jumps all over series and EoE canon. I hate this fic so much because it's bad and caused me to lose copious amounts of sleep. Title is from "Mono" by Fightstar.
Title: For want of Fandom: Death Note Rating: PG-13 Genre: Dark, angst, genfic Word Count: 1824 Warnings: Spoilers for the end of the series. Notes: Shinigami!Light, post-series. Kind of, sort of AU.
Title: and the guillotine laughs again Fandom: Death Note Rating: R Genre: Dark, genfic Word Count: 1806 Warnings: Spoilers for the end of the series. Dark. Gore. Notes: Loads of religious references. Sort of a 'what if' idea.
This place is starting to look pretty lonely and grim. I don't have the inspiration for longer fics anymore, it seems, so I might just start posting drabbles here. Would anyone mind?
Title: Today is the day Fandom: Gurren Lagann Rating: PG Genre: Gen, fluff Word Count: 386 Warnings: Slight language, but nothing, otherwise.
Title: Between the idea and the reality Fandom: Death Note Rating: R Genre: Gen, angst Word Count: 2,063 Warnings: Spoilers for the entire series. Swearing. Some gory details. Implied Light/Misa. Notes: Second-person post-series fic. Everyone and the end. Title is from "The Hollow Men", by TS Eliot.
So I totally haven't posted anything in...a ridiculously long time. But, in my defense, I'm at school again, and that just eats up my time (because technical theater is surprisingly serious business). Not that that matters/you care. :) I haven't written anything in a long time, so, y'know, this probably seems awkward (wait until summer, I'll get my groove back then!). Onto the drabbles.
Title: The Science of Scent Fandom: Shaman King Rating: PG-13 Genre: Angst, romance Pairings: Faust/Eliza...FROM BEYOND THE GRAVE. Warnings: Implied necrophilia, but not the kind I usually do. Possible spoilers about what Faust's goal in the series.
Title: Coping Mechanisms Fandom: Shaman King Rating: PG-13 Genre: Angst Pairings: None; Faust-centric (okay, slight Faust/Eliza hints) Warnings: A look at Faust's morphine addiction, so, drug use. Slight gore. Slight spoilers for the Yoh/Faust fight.
Title: Telephone Psychics with Fake Accents Fandom: House of Leaves Rating: PG Genre: Drama Pairings: None. Johnny-centric. Warnings: None; however, there's an homage to Silent Hill 2 in there, and whoever finds it first wins a request drabble.
Title: Physical Limits Fandom: Shaman King Rating: Hard PG-13 Genre: Dark, angst Pairings: Taocest (Tao Jun/Tao Ren) <--the world needs more of this Warnings: Tao En's physical abuse, dubcon, implied smut, incest
Title: El Torrente Fandom: Death Note Rating: PG-13 Genre: Angst, Gen Word Count: 1,053 Pairings: None; L-centric. Warnings: Gory crime scene details. Some bad language. Notes: Pre-series about L's rise to being, well, L. Full of speculation. I also assume that there was a K.
