*Sigh* oh distraction... (and a question)

[a1y_puff]

1st of all, I've told u guys already that I met up with Yosi-san (sasuke_fuji) and Isu (isumi_ilde) last Monday ne? Yosi san has finally written a short report on that day with some PICCIES on us HERE in case u wanna see us :p

-

I haven't regained my drive to write. Not to mention my bro's a BIG distraction when he's home. I've been watching anime cz he brought so many! We decided to catch up with some old anime we haven't watched, and two days ago I ended up watching .hack//sign (14 eps), .hack//G.U ova (1 ep), .hack/ /Roots (1 ep) and Honey and Clover season 1 (10 eps). Total: 26 eps.
Yesterday I didn't watch anything from morning-afternoon. Been reading manga, still no drive to write. When I finally wanted to try writing, my bro made me watch another 8 eps of Honey Clover with him. *facepalms*

He's gone out today. U think I can do some writing? *sigh*

vierblith_tefu and I lost the bet with lafuego, so we ended up having to give her a fic and an art. My wife will write the fic, of course. I'll draw an art from her fic later. The prompt would've killed me if I had to write it: Fairy!Au with much incredulous!Tezuka, a bit of pastoral English countryside (if i remember correctly) and this quote: Trying to forget someone you love is like trying to remember someone you never knew.
I generally suck at AU so I'm glad I'll just have to make an art :p

For those who read my The Smiling Merman
I know I've abandoned it for so long, and I'm trying to get myself in track for writing TSM (I think I've lost my touch there so I'm trying to regain it) so I just wanna know, please answer these:
1. What aspects in TSM do you like most? Or maybe the strong points in that series?
2. What do you expect to see in the following updates?
Can be anything: the characterizations, genre, portrayal, plot... anything.
I CAN'T promise to fulfill all expectations but I'll try so just let me know what you think? Thanks in advance! *bows*

1. Hmm... my favorite thing about it (aside from the TezuFuji love) is the fact that it's a fairytale adaptation. I'm a total sucker for that type of fics. Err... I don't think my answer is helpful at all, sorry.
2. More TezuFuji action? LOL. And I wanna know who Tezuka's fiancee is! I'm also interested in how Fuji would make Tezuka fall for him.

[a1y-puff.livejournal.com]

Hahah.. yeah there'll be more TeFu action, of course :p
Tezuka's fiancee would make an appearance by the next update. I actually stuck at that part XD;
Wish me luck ne? ^^

I've seen the photo's of you, Yoshi-san and Isu-san. I like the pic with the three of you!
I hope you can write a little today! Anime and manga are too distracting, ne? XD

That prompt is really, really difficult! O_o I wouldn't know what to write either. But I think it also a really beautiful prompt.

About TSM:
1. I like it that Fuji is kinda helpless. He doesn't know what to do and how things work, but Tezuka will always help him. That's so cute.
2. jealous!Fuji. Tezuka has a fiancee, right? Fuji won't be very nice to her. And when she does something back to Fuji, Tezuka walks in and finds out. He sends her away, but that makes Fuji feel kinda guilty. Well, not a very good plot, but I didn't really know what to answer XD;;

[a1y-puff.livejournal.com]

Hehe, thanks. glad u liked the pics!

and yea, I was like: O.o thank GOD I dun have to write it!
hehe.. i wouldn't know what to make of it. That's just o.o
but yea, it's a beautiful prompt when one knows how to write it XD

1. Hehe, thanks! They're cute like that XD
2. Hahah... u'll see what Fuji would do with the fiancee :p
jealous!Fuji will be around XD

[tacuma811.livejournal.com]

Yeah, such a difficult prompt. I wonder where she found that prompt. But I'm sure Vierblith will be able to make a beautiful fic about it ^__^

Jealous!Fuji is almost as fun as jealous!Tezuka XD

Mou, aku kurang tahu aspek apa saja yang membuatku suka TSM, Kak Aiy. Memang, kalau aku sudah suka sesuatu, aku nggak peduli lagi pada aspek bla, bla, dan bla.

Etto... mungkin aku suka karena ada TezuFuji, KiriAnn, dan anak-anak Rikkai. Lalu kesadisan si Fuji (khu, khu, khu~) dan alur ceritanya yang benar-benar seru dan mendetail sampai hal-hal terkecil (ex: Fuji yang nggak langsung bisa jalan dengan dua kaki).

Ha, ha. Plus, karena sebenarnya aku masih suka sama dongeng semacam "The Little Mermaid" dan "The Beauty and the Beast". ^^

Yang kuharapkan di chapter TSM mendatang?
Aku berharap anak-anak Rikkai lebih sering dimunculin... (*Rikkai lover mode: on*) KiriAnn lebih sering dimunculin... Dan munculkan tunangan Tezuka! Fuji, habisi dia! XD

Ah, jangan lupain sentuhan SanaYuki di antara Sanada dan Yukimura. (Mereka berdua itu raja dan ratu, kan?). Tapi, kalau bisa, Yukimura si istri JAUH lebih berkuasa dibandingkan Sanada di suami, kayak di doujinnya Satoumizu, lho. ^^ *devilish grin*

Onegaishimasu~ (*^_^*)d

[a1y-puff.livejournal.com]

Haha, makasih! Rikkai bakal say ausahainmuncul lagi, cuma gak bisa sering karena mereka cuma side-dish aja XD;;
Dan saya termasuk yang percaya kalo Yukimura lebih berkuasa kok, nyehehehehe~ XDD

Saya akan masukin sentuhan SanaYuki juga, ama D1, hweheheheW tengkyu masukannya ^^

[mitsu-syusuke.livejournal.com]

i've seen the picture! you guys have so much fun!

and about TSM,
1.I like that Fuji is able to make friends/get close to other ppl around the prince. which is different from the original tale..if i'm not mistaken, the mermaid life on the land in the original tale is kinda revolve around the prince only..( i'm probably wrong though, it's been years since i watch The Llittle Mermaid) and he's still in confusion wether he is in love with Tezuka or it's just curiousity that make him stay on the land, this is more reality this way compared to the original tale..and with this we can see/read how they fall in love with each other! :D

2.hmm, i wanna see more TeFu of course! XD
err, maybe a plot twist? If Tezuka;'s fiancee fall in love with Fuji but she want to kept Tezuka too (what a greedy woman), what will happen!? i would like to see Fuji and Tezuka make some plan to get rid of the fiancee..after A LOT of unsuccessful effort, they decide to act as gay couple and....i think you know what happen after this..XD
this is probably more crack than a plot twist..*sigh*

[a1y-puff.livejournal.com]

Thanks! We did have a lot of fun :D

1. I see, thanks so much! will ty to keep it up! ^___^

2. Nore TeFu will come, of course XD
about the fiancee, well sorry but I already have plans so I can't do that and I tried to keep the crack at bay coz I only plan to make iot stay at 'humor' level ^^
but thanks for the input. Fuji will have a rather healthy competition with the fiancee, dun worry ^_________^

[moehoshi.livejournal.com]

Aly-chan!!! ;______________;

TSM:
1. I really like the role you gave each character. :P It's really fun to see POT characters play a different role. I also liked it that you've included other schools in the story. The more the merrier, ne? :D
2. Tezuka's 'fiancee'!!!! >D More ZukaFuji moments and Rikkai/An-chan cameo appearances. ^^

I miss you and your fic. *huggles*

[yoshikochan.livejournal.com]

Waaah it's true you haven't updated it in forever! *cry*

1. What aspects in TSM do you like most? Or maybe the strong points in that series? I love how you set up mmm the story? XD I don't know how to put it. Just the idea of Fuji as a mermaid (geh he's mermaid enough in my book ^^;) is pretty exciting XD. I liked the set up with Fuji thinking that dying for love is stupid (though we all know he'll feel the opposite in the end) and figuring he might as well try it out, and at worst he has to kill Tezuka (but he's so thoughtless about it ^^;). Yes, I think this is my favorite aspect. XD .... (was that even just one? ^^;; ...)

2. What do you expect to see in the following updates? Err... more TezuFuji moments? I love the little fluffy scenes, but I also am a total sucker for angst, so I'd like angst. GAH this is a terrible question to ask me, because I love seeing those cliche scenes used over and over again ^^; like Fuji in the rain getting sick, fainting, and Tezuka taking care of him. Or Fuji thinking Tezuka loves someone else and trying to be strong even though he's really hurt. And Tezuka being majorly lustfulattracted to Fuji but not wanting to admit it to himself. XD; ........

Overall... I want more fluff...followed by lots of angst... followed by Fuji getting his voice back 'too late'.... followed by a lot more drama and angst... but yet still with a happy ending to finish things off. =^.^= .... /vagueness ^^;

[isumi-ilde.livejournal.com]

*points* You, too, Neesan, had provided me with IMMENSE distraction last week!!!!!! I didn't write anything in holiday, didn't watch anything, didn't go to the internet cafe... all because you gave me too many TeFu distractions!!!!!

And I LOVE you for that. XDDDDDDDDDD

I haven't answered number two, ne??? I want to see...

-More TeFu... fluff and angst would be very much welcomed!! XD
-Maybe Yukimura and Sanada's appearance??
-More Inui and his freaky stuff!! XD XD
-You've been writing in fuji's POV.. I erally want to see a scene where Tezuka's heart is laid out visibly for us--the readers--and Fuji. It doesn;t have to be a confession though...

Should I shut up??? Ehehehe...

Huggiesss...
