On Requests etc.

[nagia]

I love to write. I love to write flash fiction. I love to write short stories. I love to write drabbles, porn, gen, postmodern insanity. If you can name it, I will probably jump all over writing it.

To that end, requests are always open. That's right. Requests are always open.

The only caveat is that I will not write multi-chaptered stories for requests. You get 100 to 1000, maybe even 5000 words.

I have a request post over at Insane Journal that is always open. If I do a writing meme, that is always open. You may always ask for more. If at all possible, I will deliver. (If not possible, I will tell you so.)

Current writing memes?

HAI THAR

THIS IS KINDA WEIRD BECAUSE I WANT TO REQUEST RECS, NOT JUST FIC FROM YOU

BUT I WANT SOME KENTUCKY FRIED CHICKEN KENSHIN, AND I KNOW YOU ARE THE QUEEN OF AOSHI/MISAO AND KNOW WHERE THE NOT JUNKY FIC IS

WHY DID YOU HAVE TO GO AND ASK A HARD ONE? I AM ACTUALLY VERY VERY PICKY ABOUT MY MISAO/AOSHI, BECAUSE I HAVE A VERY SPECIFIC VIEW OF HIM THAT ONLY leviathanmirror SEEMS TO SHARE.

I CANNOT IN GOOD CONSCIENCE RECOMMEND VATHARA'S "WITCHY WOMAN," BECAUSE ITS PRIMARY FOCUS IS ACTUALLY KENSHIN/KAORU, HER MISAO STRIKES ME AS OFF, AND IT'S AN AU. BUT IT'S STILL WORTH A READ.

ACTUAL RECS:

"SECTION OF SKY," BY leviathanmirror. IT'S NOT EXPLICITLY ROMANTIC, BUT IT'S A GORGEOUS, HEARTBREAKING EXPLORATION OF HOW MISAO AND AOSHI'S ONIWABANSHUU RELATED TO EACH OTHER.

"LOVE IS THRICE AS CRUEL AS STEEL," ALSO BY leviathanmirror. SHE SUMMARIZES IT AS "MISAO DOES NOT UNDERSTAND PSYCHOSPEAK," AND THAT'S A VERY APT DESCRIPTION.

"CAN YOU MAKE ME BEAUTIFUL?" WHICH IS BOTH SAD AND HOT. leviathanmirror HAS LIKE THE WORLD'S BEST GRASP ON AOSHI, EVER. SERIOUSLY.

"BETWEEN US," BY shiegra IS FANTASTIC. HOT, AND WITH GORGEOUS EQUALITY BETWEEN THE TWO. (EXPLICIT.)

WESTERN INK - ARCHIVE HERE - IN GENERAL I DON'T AGREE WITH HER INTERPRETATION OF AOSHI, BUT SHE'S GOT A FEW GOOD READS. WESTERN INK IS ALSO THE MOST PROLIFIC OF US.

THIS MAY SOUND ODD, BUT I ACTUALLY HAVE A DIS-RECOMMENDATION: SEX AND SASHIMI. NOT EVEN GOING TO LINK IT. TRUST ME AND STAY AWAY FROM THAT ONE. (AND STAY AWAY FROM THAT AUTHOR IN GENERAL. SHE'S KINDA CRAZY.)

[shahrizai]

SPEAKING OF SEX AND SASHIMI, I READ IT THE OTHER NIGHT BECAUSE I STUMBLED UPON IT FIRST. I MAY NOT BE FINISHED WATCHING THE ENTIRE SERIES, BUT I HAVE A GUT FEELING AOSHI DOES NOT TURN INTO RICO SUAVE DURING SEX. IT WAS LIKE THE EQUIVALENT OF DRACO MALFOY AND LEATHER PANTS.

1: PFAH, ONLY FINISH THE KYOTO ARC. THEN READ THE MANGA. (IT'S EVEN AVAILABLE ON ONEMANGA.) EVERYTHING POST-KYOTO IS RIDICULOUSLY TERRIBLE FILLER THAT MAKES ME WANT TO HURL. (OKAY, THERE'S A SEGMENT THAT LASTS ABOUT 28 SECONDS IN THE SON OF GOD ARC--SUFFICE TO SAY MISAO GETS INJURED AND AOSHI GETS THE "I'M A PSYCHO AND YOU'RE FUCKING DEAD" GLEAM IN HIS EYES--THAT'S WORTH WATCHING.)

2: HE'S A NINJA, SO I COULD TOTALLY BUY AOSHI BEING ABLE TO MIMIC/SIMULATE SEVERAL PERSONALITIES IN ANY NUMBER OF CIRCUMSTANCES, INCLUDING SEX. BUT THAT WOULD BE BUSINESS SEX, NOT FOR-PERSONAL-ENJOYMENT SEX, AND I CANNOT SEE AOSHI EVER HAVING BUSINESS SEX WITH MISAO. EVER.

3: HER AOSHI IS NUTS EVEN OUT OF THE BEDROOM. HE SEEMED A LITTLE... LIGHT, BUT PLAUSIBLE BEFORE I READ THE MANGA. ONCE I READ THE MANGA, I REALIZED THAT HER AOSHI IS JUST FLAT-OUT WRONG. FOR EXAMPLE, AOSHI'S VERY NATURE COMPLETELY INVALIDATES THE STORY'S PREMISE. IF SOMETHING DANGEROUS THAT CAN'T BE MISDIRECTED IS AFOOT, AOSHI'S RESPONSE WOULD BE "PREEMPTIVE STRIKE WITH ENOUGH FORCE TO ERADICATE THE PROBLEM THE FIRST TIME AROUND AND, BEST CASE SCENARIO, PREVENT MISAO FROM EVER KNOWING ABOUT IT AT ALL." IF HE THOUGHT IT WAS EVEN REMOTELY TOO DANGEROUS FOR HER SKILLS, HE WOULDN'T TELL HER ABOUT IT, AND NEITHER WOULD OKINA. TAKING HER WITH HIM ON A DANGEROUS COVERT OPERATION TIED TO THE KANRYUU SHENANIGANS? FUCK NO.
