So...three days. Two years and three days. For ten chapters. Whatever, despite better judgment, I'm going to post D10 now. I JUST wrote the last three pages of it and like, they haven't been looked at, not even a little bit. As my dialogue is ungainly and everything, I'm sorry, but it's late, I'm exhausted and I no longer have the energy to care and I know if I don't post it up now, it's going take months before I have the gall to post it up again, and by then I'll despise it even more.

But yeah, for those who care, this is not the end of this fic. I'm going to do rewrite of it. However, this is the last time this fic is going to be mentioned on my el-jay. Despite my apprehension and displeasure of ff.net, I did start posting my stuff there and I guess I'm going to do so as well. I might rant about the revisions more here, but you'll have to got the that cursed site to find the actual chapters.

( Delirium, chapter 10 )

Duude. I can't believe I finished. Yesh, at the expense of my psychology paper and English paper, but I don't care. I finally got this out of my head. It's been a major roadblock for me and I couldn't write D10 at all without first finishing this. This was/is/is supposed to be the B-day fic for jaded088 though it's obviously really, really late. Hahaha. Oh well. My goodness, I don't know if I ever had something that barely break 5 pages cause me so much grief.

This is also the prologue, or rather, almost like my thesis for my future multi-chapter, pre-MH anime fic.

Title: You're not here
Rating: PG
Genre: General
Word Count: 2500+

( Knowing that something was not quite right, these were the moments she felt the most self-conscious: even though she was sitting there almost perfectly still, she seemed to be, at the same time, moving with breakneck speed, hurdling towards a future that seemed to become ever-so beyond her reach and understanding. )

I am a stupid idiot. It was already 2:50AM in the morning, but I got struck by random burst of inspiration I decided to write a drabble. It just kept getting longer until, yeah. It's unfinished because I can't see the screen any more because my eyes are almost completely shut and the screen is all blurry signifying I need sleep.

I'll probably be horrified at this MH, Shizuru-centered fic when I can actually think.

( Some things are never how they're supposed to be. )

I can't believe how productive I'm being. >.< Tis amazing. Anyway, I was working on D10 and suddenly got this really interesting idea. I think I might play with the concept more once I finish the D-series. Tis a promising idea and I like it enough.

Drabble drabble

Title: Drabble thingy (Can't think of anything XP)
Characters: The Shiz and the Nats, but not really the ShizNats, foshizzle ~couldn't resist~
Rating: PG-ish?
Word Count: 489
Timeline: Pre- MH series, pre-friendship. Probably a week or two after their first meeting in the flower garden.
Warnings: I wrote this really fast so it's probably rather unreadable and stuff.

( Once upon a time when her death glare actually worked... )

~laughs nervously~ It's been way, waaay too long and stuff. I've been just holding onto this for months and I really haven't changed anything since November and...like, I just want to finish this monster. Nothing happens much--just filler until D10 which everything is going to be explained. Might put up an omake to clear some stuff up with lady ghost-duude. Neways, my new year's resolution is to finish the D series by the end of January. ^__^;; hope to keep it.

Oh yeah, Happy New Year everyone! ~early at something for once~

( Chapter 9 of Delirium )

Generally don't post stuff on my journal for comm stuff, but I'll make an exception because I feel really bad that I haven't produced anything really productive in the last...half a year. And it's utter poopy stuff because--still mentally exhausted and depressed with CW. But managed to pull self together enough to write something. T__T I don't have time to finish my other prompt because have a gabijillion more parties to go to today Anyway:

Title: And Happiness Visited the Two
Author: vinforspi
Fandom: Mai-HiME
Pairing: Fujino Shizuru/Kuga Natsuki
Rating: PG
Warnings: Outright silliness, plot, what plot? There is also no point to this fic, just a bunch of wiggly lines.
Request: Shizuru Fujino/Natsuki Kuga #31 - Conjoining/Influence

Because saying something like, “No, Shizuru, it wasn’t those ridiculous fuzzy glasses that you were trying to make me wear that broke me, but it was before when you slapped me across the face with the rubber chicken,” was like admitting not just defeat, but that the sun revolved around the Earth and two plus two equaled one.

And so it continues. Wrote this in less than an hour. Spawn of fireclaw not thinking. Idea has been floating around for a while. Didn't turn out as expected, but can't complain. It's silly and meant to be silly. So, yay, silly! ~falls asleep on desk~ Have to stop writing and funky hours. Nothing good comes out of it.

Hmm next one is probably be with SECRET HIMITSU NINJA DESU! So I can move away from the Student Council people for now.

And on a somewhat-but-not-really-random-note I hate writing plays. Pure dialogue pwns me. I got two days to pull something really good out of my dead brain. Best of luckies, fireclaw.

Title: Girl in the Beige School Uniform (part 2 of the In Uniform series.)
Fandom: Mai-HiME
Rating: PG-13 (implied stuff but nothing really)
Word Count: 804
Characters: Shizuru, Natsuki (tis the Shiznats foshizzle!) @__@
Genre: General/Romance
Summary: Reason why one chooses to wear a high school uniform even after she's graduated (in private, of course).
A/N: As a certain awesome person noted, this little vignette thing is totally inspired by a certain scene in Tours #9 which was translated by the much awesome apollyon_0.

( insert witty comment here )

~grins~ I did mention it in an earlier post a month or two ago I was going to write something like this. I didn't think it would turn out how it did, but I'm relatively happy with what I got. Wrote it in an hour and sixteen minutes around 2-3AM-ish last night. Was suddenly struck by this huuge lightening bolt of inspiration. It's actually not the first time I used second person--that would be my Lain fic I'm still working on even though it's been months since I started it. Anyway, here it is. First of a loosely-connected series of vignettes.

Title: Boy in the Black School Uniform (part 1 of the In Uniform series)
Fandom: Mai-HiME
Word Count: 1742
Rating: PG
Characters: Reito, Mai (implied, briefly mentioned Mai/Tate).
Genre: General
Summary: A chance occurrence in a restaurant with a familiar name. Of letting go.
A/N: ~mutters to self~ Even though I can't bring myself to hate anime Tate, Reito is far, far cooler than him. Oh Reito-sama~ you are so incredibly bishie. It would be quite interesting if I could get you to work together with kaichou-sama somehow. Seriously, then taking over the world would be so crazy-easy. Though...maybe both of your harems fangirls would overlap. That would be interesting too, just to see what happens next.

( Oh Reito-sama!~ )

Drabble.

Title: She is...
Fandom: Mai-HiME
Words: 200
Rating: G
Genre: General

( The word dances on the tip of her tongue, she swirls it in her mouth, enjoying the texture of it. )

Because I really should get it out and it's been like...half a year. ~sighs~ Besides, there is no way I'm going to be working on it later seeing how I've borrowed firefly's Wii and I have to finish Twilight Princess in like...a week.

Urgh. Restored stupid laptop to factory settings. But, of course, since I was doing it through their Tech Support, completely forgot to back up my old file of D8. The ending got chopped up. Rewrote it in twenty mintues. I might go back (in a couple weeks, maybe) and add stuff then.

This was the most un-fun chapter to write. Which probably caused a month or two of the delays because I didn't want to write it. On the bright side, tis out.

( Chapter 8 of Delirium )

Gawd, all the best laid plans and stuff...mice and men. Seriously, I thought I would've had time to get D8 and D9 done before now. At this rate, it would be a miracle if I even get D8 done by this summer. ~sighs~ I guess summers aren't really productive chapter-writing times. @___@ So busy. Soooooo busy.

I feel really, really bad for making people wait for so long. And I'm still like only 1/3 of the way into just writing D8. That doesn't count the weeks I spend editing and angsting over stuff. Urgh.

Neways for any random people who actually check my messy journal for updates, here's a tiny bit of D8. Hopefully it'll pacify you until I come back...which is the 4th of August. Maybe before then I'll manage to get it up...somehow, by acquiring a computer during my stay in Taiwan and Japan. I'm going to my grandparent's for about five days. If, from there, I go visit my 4th uncle's house--they have a computer so I might be able to write D8 (if I've finished it by then) and post it there. RARGH.

So yeah, this is only a small bit of it. It hasn't gone through editing and I'm not too sure if this is going to be the beginning beginning of the chapter. I might add a flashback or something like that. Part isn't finalized either, so in the real update, stuff might change (a lot, a lot!). Tis just a fleshy outline and the likes. Well, from this, you'll get a gist of what is to come. But barely.

( snippet of D8 )

So I just finished reading the first two translated chapers of Mai HiME Destiny. And...rargh. It seems like I've been, once again, sucked into obsessive fangirling this fandom does to me.

First off the new main character annoys me. WHERE'S MAI? Seriously, or a more Mai-like main character? Really, why can't we have a decent new main that's like...sensible? Urgh. There are so few lead characters that I like and I so want Mai to come in and burn Mayo to a crisp. Arika was fun for a little while and she fit Otome and the mess that it was. Seeing Mayo as the lead makes me thing MHD is going to be just cheap thrills. But there seems to be so much potencial. I love idea. Shizuru and Natsuki on opposing sides makes me happy and amused. As said before, so much potencial! Heh.

I like the new setting. Please, please don't screw it up! (like the trainwreck that was of GSD)

I really hate to say this, but I have bad feelings about Shizuru. Since she seems like suh an integral part of the school, and that her powers have been revealed...she's so going to be the first one to go or something like that. I hope I'm wrong. But still...at least in the translation...the writer seemed to really lay the Shizuru fanboy-ish thick. Not that I mind at all. Whoo! Go kaichou-sama in all her glory! Except...why a katana? I like the naginata! I think it suits her more. It goes with the whole "ojou-sama" thing. ~sighs~ Or maybe she's only using a katana because she's holding back and...and...her true powers will be revealed when she uses her naginata! ...fireclaw can hope.

Which brings me to my next fanfic writing urge. Yeah, yeah. I still have to deal with the e-vile-ness that is of D8. It refuses to be written and it ish pissing me off.

But still, I want to write something else for the MH fandom. I don't think I have the time to, but I could always scribble it on a notebook (whee notebooks, I love notebooks and lined paper!) when I'm in Taiwan/Japan.

I'm suffering from a Mai withdraw. Even though she's due for a cameo in D8 (but in her icky manga form), I want to write anime Mai. With Reito. Well, not with Reito (even though that's what so should've happen--gawd, why Tate especially when you could have all dashingly, bishie, prince Reito-sama~). It would be them meeting each other somewhere and like..talking. No pairings, just like...a calm convo where they reminiscence about the past and such-and-such opportunities passing them by.

It would be so much fun! I want to write it. But it's like 2:00AM right now and I have my driving test in like, 9 hours.

So...I got over my block of fireclaw! How? Why, music of course! More specifically, one of the Japanese theme songs of Pokemon! Do not doubt the power that ish of Pokemon! It is rabid and spreads like a disease! o_O Whooooo! Andand when you loop it around for hours and hours...insanity! ~giggles like a maniac~ if a pikachu suddenly appears in the fic...you'll know what happened.

So yeah, hah! I finished D7 during break--doesn't matter if it's the last day, I actually posted something up when I said I would and not months weeks a little later! I spent most of today forcing myself to finish it. Which is why I still have a sociology paper to write...no matter!

It's a bit odd for me to post out something the same day I finished it. But, well, I feel it made up for it being nearly two months since an update. 'scuz the likely more-than-usual-stupid-grammatical mistakes kudasai!

( Chapter 7 of Delirium )

Aww, screw it. Just totally screw it. My head is still killing me, can't sleep. Not just that, but I'm really out of it--well, waaay more than usual. This chapter was finished for over three weeks and I just can't look or think about it anymore. Probably has to do with the killer headache and all--but I'm still throwing the fic out because it's been over a month--sorry. And tis official, fireclaw royally sucks at dialogue and characterization. Why am I even fanficing? Urgh, so freakishly out of character. Originally Nao had more stuff ta say but she was starting to channel way too much Fia and that's...not good. ~sighs~ whatever.

( Chapter 6 of Delirium )

Cuz like...I was looking D5 over and figured it was too depressing. And thus this spawn of fireclaw's sillyness appeared. Makes utterly no sense...actually it kinda does, but whatever.

Yeah, weirdest thing happened yesterday night. Like, I got my wisdom teeth pulled out a little more than a week ago. So like, when I felt something stuck in my upper right jaw's gum where the wisdom tooth once sat, I figured it was just food again. Oatmeal has those really annoying brown-ish skin things right? Before I had two of them stuck in my upper gum...took three hours of pull at it to get it out--so annoying. Anyway so I kept pulling at that thing stuck in my upper jaw's gum. Turned out it was a remnant of my tooth...o_O Gum was bleeding any everything. Urgh.

Neways, here lies the parody of D5.

( D5 OMAKE )

To celebrate the return of my freedom (and because I don't feel like doing my math homework), fireclaw spent today finishing up D5. She's not happy with how it turned out. She wanted the chapter to be more dramatic, but she's content with it.

So here it is, the confrontation.

( Chapter 5 of Delirium )

...because I'll feel really bad if I didn't post this when I said I would. And hey, I got it up faster than I did before. I'm down to only a month in between chapters! Whoohoo, go fireclaw! >.<

I owe two more places posts and then I'm off to finish my homework. >.< I accomplished much this weekend! Yesterday I posted eight times! Whoohoo! ~much skilled~

And here's D4. I was going to look it over again but I'm sick and tired of reading my own writing that if I read it one more time I'll probably rip my hair out in aggravation. But still, I'm up to D4 now! All that is left is D5 and then...D6 which is going to be such a blast to write and it will be totally awesome I totally doubt anyone has ever thought of using that duude/thing/mabob in a fic...and...I can't wait to write it!!

( Chapter Four of Delirium )

Feel kinda bad, haven't been on lj recently. Just been caught up with start of senior year and everything. Urgh, college aps are pain. Though on the bright side, I finished all my essays and I got them graded/checked. So...whoohoo? Just need to get my recommendation from Gibbons and it's all good. Urk, wonder if it was smart to ask him. I totally failed AP Euro. Kinda contradictory and stuff.

Grammar test tomorrow. O' joyous of joys. More test to fail! Seriously, I think I have about a C or lower in 12AP English. I screwed up on the first essay, did really pitifully on the test and...urgh ~doesn't want to think about it~

And sankyuu Aimi for reminding me. I finished D3 like...three weeks ago and then I forgot I didn't post it. Silly fireclaw. Urgh, and I know, the chapters so far are really disjointed. They're more like separate fics that just so happen to be kind-sorta linear. It gets better, D3 starts the actual storyline thingy.

(  Chapter Three of Delirium )

Sorry I haven't been on a whole lot this past week. Been really occupied with stuff and thus my computer time is quite a bit shortened. Well...man, I'm going to hate working. I'm only volunteering and I get home extremely exhausted. Nine hour work/volunteer day? Four days a week? Crazy. Doing this until school starts. I would say I like it, but I don't really. Well, for one thing it's a serious eye opener for me. Then again, volunteering at a hospital--working in patient/nursing floor in a hospital smack dab in the middle of Detroit is bound to be well...shocking.

I have to say, I never...EVER want to be so old that I can't take care of myself. If I do, someone please kill me. Seriously, I don't see the point of living to the point where your just a burden to everyone else. Just this week, Mon-Thurs, I've seen far more of reality and life than I could care for. Not just the old people, but there are younger-ish people too but duude...duude. The floor I work on smells weird--none of that hospital smell you usually parallel hospitals too--kinda like really overcooked meatballs. And even at home, I still can't rid the smell from my memory. I just help out on the floor, gopher around, bring water to the patients and stuff like that. I feel so bad for some of the people--they've been there for days. And some of them are just well, scream in pain and I just kinda stand there helpless and like put on a stupid smile and "can I help you with anything?" gawd. There are like...five nurses and like twenty four patients. And some of the rooms are still being cleaned/fixed. When those rooms gets filled with patients...dangit, so crazy.

On a less depressing note, the manager of the floor hooked me up with the head of the psych. Which is just plain cool. He said I could job shadow him whenever I liked and DUUDE what an opportunity. Like, he was on the floor I help out at and like, there were a bunch of med students following him. Like sheep, or...tourist. ~has stupid grin on face~ Something like: "if we come this way, we will now see the patient with a head trauma." Andandand when he would write something down on his handy-dandy clipboard they would all crowd around him and ~giggles~ It was silly but well, I would do the same. But it was still silly looking!

And nopers, I have not forgot about my long neglected poor ficcy. It just took me really long to get everything down the way I liked it, I'm still not too sure that I like it. If probably check again, chances are like stuff might change. Drastically! Like suddenly Duran grows six heads and--heh. >.< I don't think I like fanfic-ing that much. I'm so...paranoid about characters that aren't my own. I mean, I hate when people write characters totally OOC to a point you can't recognize them...and then feel hypocritical when I start writing. And durr, I think nearly all my fics in this fandom have been really melodramatic. Dangit, I usually don't write like this! It's just ~gestures wildly~ Blergh, but here it is, D2 which should've of been posted MONTHS ago. Chapter 3 should be out soon...hopefully but now added to the chaos of Mad Mad August is the e-vile-ness of college aps! ~cue ominous music~
