Hello everyone~!

So, as you may or may not have learned, I am indeed going to university in London (University College London - whee ^^~) and although the weather is grinding on my nerves (mainly the nerves in my toes because I am a California girl through and through... wearing flip-flops in sub-Arctic temperatures, that is :P), I am having a grand time over here! So, if you're ever in London, or around London, and you have the time, feel free to drop by for a visit! All my friends in the dorm make me jealous by bringing all their friends over (from home, I might add) all the time.

And of course, NaNoWriMo has just started up and I think I'm on-track to finishing (aka: I have a plot and a story and a title and I'm over the wordcount on the first day-slash-night [yeahhh, definitely mostly night]), so I'm pretty pleased about that.  :3

In terms of fandom -- the thing that's got my attention utterly hooked right now? Kuroko no Basuke (Kuroko no Basket, The Basketball Which Kuroko Plays, KuroBasu, etc.), but of course! If we're friends from the community, hi! (And yeah, you won't hear much from me because generally my brain goes: DESTINY, WHY THE HELL ARE YOU BLOGGING ABOUT YOUR LIFE WHEN YOU COULD BE WRITING FANFIC?! and the only reason I'm doing this today is because [1] it's NaNoWriMo time and [2] I just finished 1/6th of the notes *feeling good*) But anyways, it's a really awesome manga with lots of interesting characters (IMO, I think there's one legitimately attractive male character, two awesome female characters [they're the only female characters but believe me: they kick ass~], and so much Unresolved Sexual Tension that I've written some ten thousand odd words on the subject xD) and a great plotline too so if you have the time (and you're interested in sports manga, basketball namely!), I absolutely recommend it.  Or, if you're an anime person, just wait a couple months because an anime has been promised... :3

Aside from that: school, I suppose.  Not much to say, though.  I'm exhausted but happy most of the time; I never used to enjoy reading, but then I realised what I was missing out on and it was like: BRAND NEW (nerdy!) WORLD.  I dislike how lectures are mandatory but the fact that they take up next to nothing of my time (and I can generally read the textbook[s] straight through the lectures) means I have nothing to actually complain about.

...so yeah.  Er, to be fair, how are you guys all doing? Is there anything worth complaining about? Ah~ how about doujinshi? A friend of mine asked me to write a script for one and I was all like: I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT YOU ARE TALKING ABOUT, I ONLY WRITE FANFIC but eh, we'll see~ xD;

Much love,
Dreamz

Because I thought I had a lot of time (the start of winter/holiday break and whatnot), I decided to try out the shipping meme! However, because I'm also lazy... and completely incapable of following something through for 30~ days, I figured I would just do it all in one go.  For fear of rambling too much, I also decided to try to (1) limit myself to a new fandom with every entry (unless otherwise specified by the prompt) and (2) stick with one ship per prompt, although other ships may be referred to, in passing.

Well, ready or not... here's a lot more pairing information than you ever needed to know from me! :D

This has been something that has been bugging me for a while: there seems to be nothing dedicated to Year of the Griffin (or Dark Lord of Derkholm)! Sadly, I don't think I have enough time to actually make a legitimate fandom for this pairing.  As such, this little page will be where I post my little drabbles and doodles and fannish thoughts.

Feel free to add your own work or even comment on mine!

Here's the wikipedia entry for YOTG (x) and DLOD (x) - both are splendid books in their own right, with a huge cast of characters that are all marvelously developed, and have their own weird quirks.  If you have a free weekend, I would definitely recommend reading the two together.  Fans of magic, adventure, and that little bit of absurdist humor, will like it.  :D

More than an archive, I guess I want this to be more of a pseudo-serious discussion place.  There are a million and one things I have to say about this series! ...And no one to talk to.  D: I have fanfic ideas too, but they're all tiny drabbles at best.

Anyways, Yankee-kun to Megane-chan starts out like your typical "boy meets annoying girl who clings to him and will not let go and she eventually grows on him and romance blossoms" fic - but it's so much better than that.  The girl was a delinquent - she's now an "honor" student; the boy was an honor student - he's now a "delinquent".

There are the typical trials of high school life (field days, sport runs, school elections, tests) intertwined with the sense of growing up (applying to college, learning to control your anger, becoming a mature and responsible adult), and a ton of well-placed humor that makes this manga more light-hearted than its romance-oriented counterparts.  Needless to say, I strongly recommend it! :D

Well, what can I say? I obsess over various things, often sticking to them for years at a time -- it's how I met the larger portion of my friends on the internet, after all!

...Anyways, this list is for those that are curious about my series/characters/their-relationships preferences.  Just as a warning: I tend to favour one series for an extended period of time, and I generally do have an OTP that, well, stands out above the other pairings.  But like pretty much everyone else that dwells in the lesser-loved fandoms, I often write outside of my OTP as well -- and, in fact, some of my personal bests were done on pairings I didn't even like! -- and I encourage other people to do the same.  In addition, genfic does need more love, in the face of my constant (albeit joking) ribbing on it, and I think it's easier to really fall in love with the characters (and their characterisations!) when you aren't having them falling in love themselves.

With that said, I hope you find that we share something or another (whether it be an obscure series or a much-hyped pairing) and if we do, drop me a note and we shall be good internet friends! <3

Lux,
Dreamz
