Sentou Yousei Yukikaze FST and The Etched City FST reuploaded to fst (join comm to see posts). Upping a couple more before month's end - may even toss up that 20th Century Boys FST, eheh, though it's hard to count it finished when I haven't read all the manga yet. ^^;

100-word FFXII drabble gifted me in drabble_trade (Chrissie, isn't the first one you too? o_O): here and here (inappropriate bunny cat ears warning). Signups for round two are under way. I think this time I'll offer for offbeat fandoms only and see what happens.

Other FFXII drabble request GETTO ♥ from geekerypokery: here (end of game spoilers warning). Here as well as above I'm assuming that having read the one(s) I linked everyone will click through and read the others, which are even more brill. I haven't requested from other people because I owe too many drabbles and thus feel too guilty to do so. XD;

Drabbles I contributed to drabble_trade:

( for silvermuse89: PoT, Shuusuke and Yumiko )

( for orangensaft: Love Mode, Reiji x Naoya )

Other drabble-related thing I made: fanwork_tag, a sandbox for anyone who wants to play Truth or Drabble, Sketch or Drabble, etc. (it's a lot less bothersome to have the signup post on a low-volume LJ comm than a personal journal). I advise single-fandom games as multi-fandom has a way of getting out of hand ahahaha. Um. WILL SOMEONE ELSE PLS START A FFXII GAME I HAVE NO TIME orz|||

I'm going on RL social hiatus until my birthday (which, well, I'll at least let you know where that's happening XD;;). Not declaring LJ hiatus but don't be surprised if I drop off for a bit - or conversely, spam. I just really need to get a few things done, and I don't have time for that, compiling the next SSBB issue, and seeing people in the evening or on weekends. ...Besides I'm kind of seriously PUP right now. XD;;;;

Ka asked for Giorno/Mista or Jolyne/Annasui, and I've already written 9,000 words of purported Giorno/Mista this year, so. Spoilers for the ending of part 6 (as in, the very last scene) and part 7, in a manner of speaking.

...I should upload this song as BGM. XD

( 654 words. Possibly more meta than the Rohan fic. Also likely to be the only anime/manga-based fic ever to contain the words 'amber alert'. )

For Kristin, who requested DJ Ran in Montreal. The flist is large, so if you have no idea what that's about: for the past couple of years canis_m and others have been tossing around a WAFFy Clover AU in which Ran is a techno DJ and Gingetsu bodyguards or otherwise sticks around, and they travel (details vary depending on who's writing; there's been very little attempt at background coherence XD). There's an aesthetic correspondence... but mostly it's about t3h cute.

( Related fic, art, and mixtapes. )

I'm missing stuff. There was at least one with popstar!Suu and producer!Ran. XD; Link me if you're better organized. Anyhow other people fic and I... post mp3s, but this time I was told to write the akchul DJing bit. So this isn't really a story, it's a description of a minimal techno night as they occur in these parts. I found I had to base myself on something so I used what I was listening to, namely Michael Mayer's Immer 2 (SCSI-9, "Morskaya" -> Jesse Somfay, "Lying in a Bed of Mist"), but very inaccurately.

( Based on a MUTEK venue, though it could be anywhere really. 881 words. )

I'm doing a techno mix too, not a chillout one. ^^; Maybe I should get permission and repost everything to my minimalicious account? I just had the idea of turning it into Ran's fake blog à la yuushidiaries only with moar mp3s, but I couldn't write it, Kristin would have to write it. At best I'd obtain and abuse Fruityloops for great veracity.

For arisuesei, but I got her permission to post it to LJ immediately because I... I can't quite bring myself to send the same cards out, I'd have to buy Valentine Day ones at this rate. XD And also it's way too long. But I guess long isn't a bad trait in giftfic!?

I'm not sure I like this. ^^; Seduced by the concept to the detriment of characterization methinks. Take it as one version of what might have happened rather than the version... The title comes from the Ladytron track of the same name, which is actually one of my songcalls for Johan and Anna out of Monster. Which... I suppose that makes Aizen Franz Bonaparta? *crawls off and dies in a corner*

( All The Way, Gin and Rangiku, 1861 words )
 

For serendip. She requested the suffering and travails of TRC!Eriol. XD As a bonus I made it steampunk!TRC!Eriol, so as to be able to post to myriad_myriad for December, which is why this is going up now. XD

( Teatime, 473 words )
 

For one_if_by_land. I posted a snippet of this conceptverse to a guess-the-character drabble meme buried somewhere on sesame_seed's journal, but otherwise... uh, don't ask. XD; Lightly edited from the card version.

( Hikaru and Akira, holiday fluff, also does double duty as the request Bing made in April, 445 words )
 

As she typed it up when she received it. XD But once again, posting in order.

For sesame_seed. "Traffic" is supposed to be set circa Love Surprise, and so this AU would branch off pre-NT (whereas yasminm's fic onna card branches off after). Deliberately I've made neither story an attempt to predict what I think will happen in canon, although if Yamane Ayano touches on what I consider key points I'll be amused. XD

( Asami x Feilong, 1176 words )
 

For triniophoenicis. Sort of in-joke taken to a logically extreme conclusion (Genie lives in Ithaca). The truly charming image in my mind is Atobe boots-deep in Taughannock Falls but the story isn't about Atobe. XD

( TezuFuji, 327 words )
 

For fabulous_papaya. Written after a Friday that ended with abuse of raw fish and alcohol. I quite like it, it's like a cheerful little ditty with lyrics that are impossible to grasp.

( Urahara and Yoruichi, food, 438 words )
 

Should've answered more comments in the evening or - better! - gone to bed, as my eyes have given out on me again and I cannot actually see or anything, but this was DRIVING ME INSANE. I had to rewrite it. Better to have claimed that I was desperate at all times for betas, someone might've told me how to fix my drabble then. >_< Is it too late to recant?

In case anyone thinks to ask: Lu Xun. I've always been convinced of this, and I don't know why.

( Viewfinder shortfic requested by Chrissie, take two, written directly into Semagic. I will look at it again tomorrow morning GWAR )
