House-keeping and Love-spreading

Livejournal mood analyzer (enter your username):

I'm distressed in my fandom-journal (Why can't you post about something happy once in a while? Your friends would appreciate it) but "a rosy-cheeked ray of f'ing sunshine 24/7" in my real-life journal. Um. I'm not trying to be duplicious? But art is born of frustration, struggle, and a hopeless defiance of conventional thought, so of course it comes out like that. Really.

I worte an L's childhood "drabble" for the current challenge at deathnote100. It won't make sense if you haven't read chapter 59--actually it probably won't make sense, period, as I dragged it out of a longer in-progress fic and stripped all the context away. I love deathnote100: it's the only "100" community where less than one out of every 15 submissions actually ends at 100 words.

And! I finally worked up the courage to re-read that HxH fic. Not as bad as I'd feared, not as good as I'd hoped. I added a little bit to the last section, which was literally written with my father standing over me taping his watch as we missed one train after another.

rianax totally gives the best writing prompts ever. Can we put some of those in the Avatar 20 themes woah, getting ahead of myself there. Does anyone else want to do an Avatar: the Last Airbender 20themes list with me? The show's got a stupid-simple premise and a where-haven't-I-seen-that-before magic system, but the writing is sharp, the acting is top-notch, the characters rock and it is so, so pretty. It needs fiction.
