Hello everyone =) Hope you’re doing well? Anything you want to share about your writing? Your drawing? Maybe something you’ve read since the last round-up? Any plan for this weekend?
(For Federation Science, I’ll post my answers below with my mastodon account ^^)
The holidays have sure been busy! I finished a giftfic for someone who failed to get into a fandom Secret Santa and was disappointed they wouldn’t have had time to anyway. Writing something for another has always made me happy… though with as few things which scratch my itch out there I can’t do it all the time. I’m the only one writing some things I want to read.
Despite that, I did enter a rarepair exchange. Looking at the requests, I’m not sure I will get paired up with anyone. My choices might be a little too rare for this exchange. XD
I am also taking part in a different rarepair event, but this time it’s a minibang. I’m looking forward to whichever artist it is who picks my concept as the one they want to draw.
Other than that, I’ve been writing the same story I’ve been writing for a year and a half. Getting closer to Duelist Kingdom. I’m not sure I’ll be working on it too much this weekend though. Still thinking about it!
Wow, lots of projects! That’s impressive ♥
I’ve written gift fics, I’ve written for prompts, but I never participated in an exchange or a bang, it looks so intimidating, I’d be terrified of not managing to keep to the deadlines… So double the impressive!
And ONE YEAR AND A HALF??? Forget triple the impressive, gimme the full bucket of impressive right away, holy crab this is dedication O_O
It’s my first bang! I’d be more intimidated in a reverse bang, but considering I get to go first it isn’t so bad. I can only hope someone will want to draw for it! If not, well… at least I’ll still have written a story.
More impressive is that I haven’t missed a single update in all that time! At least one chapter a week. I’m pretty pleased with myself about it too. :)
Most rewrites of the source material are either about the anime (not the manga) Even if they are, they often include most focus on OCs (which is fine, but I’m not as interested with those as main characters in rewrites) or the intent for the fic is primarily for shipping. Mine was how I wanted to show how the characters were actually friends. That they are as supportive to each other as everyone says they are. Not just a couple members of the group. It’s a very fulfilling project for me because of that.
… you’re making me want to read that fic x’)
(And yeah, constant schedule is badass! Super impressive! Congrats ♥)
Thank you!
I’ve written it so people who don’t know the source material can hopefully follow along. And every chapter has me comparing and contrasting things with the source material. XD People appear to enjoy my ranting about the manga, but I’ve put it all in spoiler notes in the end notes section so people can skip it if they are uninterested too.
That’s a fic about the original Yu-Gi-Oh! manga, right? I was a big fan, it’s the first manga I bought in its entirety ♥ (I watched the anime that aired on TV, which means only card games and, of course, at least one missing arc because airing things in order is below TV, it’s in my “one day” projects to find it and watch what I missed lol). The other Yu-Gi-Oh! … things? series? seasons? how do you even call the GX and co? anyway, I didn’t follow these at all except a tiny bit of Zexal because a friend is a fan so I heard of it.
Indeed it is! I love the manga. I have a soft spot for parts of the anime as well, as that is how I was introduced to it. I even watched the Toei anime a few years back which was… sure something. XD But both anime are of a different sort from the manga. I occasionally acknowledge things from the anime, but my fic is my twist on the manga. I did not agree with certain changes or additions the anime made to “explain things”.
I’ve only watched the GX series after myself. I love GX. It is something special. Even if I can’t believe in a world where Kaiba would make a school for card games. (I think it is separated by the different series, and then each series has X number of seasons.) But Judai is his own protagonist and despite the storytelling pitfalls, there is lots of fun to be had!
Even if I might have fastforwarded through the duels. The duels don’t interest me most of the time. Weird how I’m into YGO when I’m not as into the card game.
To be honest the card game is clearly not what’s of interest to me either ^^ I love how angsty some characters are… x’) Sometimes I’m really predictable… ='D
