Late in posting this up, this was Senkaimon's 4th round. I don't really like this fic, but I'm putting it up anyway.

OMG this thing was a pain to write. I'm still not really happy with it, it kindof wrote itself and I don't know if I agree with the muse, but oh well.

Another one for 30_kisses. This one came from my brain much easier than the other one, which is still being rather tarded. Anyway, enjoy the fic.

Title: Dinnertime

Pairing/Characters: Akimichi clan, though if you squint I suppose you could assume some v. faint InoxChouji.

Done for the gen-meme for a friend. ^__^

Title: Effervescence

Summary: Some days are just meant to be shared. Even if the one you wish to share them with is gone.

( He'd imagined it for years, and now it was here and it still didn't seem real )

Ok, so Senkaimon had ShinYori as their newest pairing, so thought "hey, that's my otp. this'll be easy" WRONG. It is SUCH a pain in the ass to try and write for something when the muse simply refuses to give you any ideas, anything beyond "ooh, yeah let's write that".


Title: It's All About Appearances
Pairing: Shinji x Hiyori
Fandom: Bleach

Wow, I never would have thought it'd be so hard to figure out what to write for my fav. pairing. Guess it just goes to show that muses are fickle things at best.

Notes: Anything I reference in regards to backstory or past for them prior to TBTP comes from my fic "24 Chips of Bone". As we do not yet know the name of Shinji's zanpakutou, I have taken the liberty of giving it the name Kagami, which means mirror, primarily because it is canon that Shinji states his specialty is reversing things. This, combined with his ability to shatter open Aizen's illusions, leads me to believe that his sword's power is something along those lines. "kagami" means mirror, and what else does a mirror do but reflect and reverse? ^__^ Either way, I hope everyone enjoys this, and I'm sorry it's so late.


( no wittiness tonight, I'm tired )

I find it very amusing whenever I get a reader who throws a fit over a scene or phrase or happenstance in my fanfiction that they don't agree with. As though I wrote it specifically for them and now they're offended that it failed to live up to their expectations.

News Flash, Kiddies


- Taso doesn't give a damn what you like or don't like. To clarify something, I write for myself, for the pure enjoyment of it, so please don't think your dissatisfaction of it makes a single jot of difference in my day. Perhaps that makes you feel better, to know that you've had absolutely no effect on my mood save the typical sigh of irritation at feeling like I have to yet again deal with fan-wank. Or perhaps it makes you feel impotent because you get your jollies by making other fans cry and now you don't get that chance. But I digress.

I returned home today to a barrage of verbal warfare from a fellow Hiyori fan who did not feel that something I wrote made sense. As I've said before, that doesn't bother me. The heart of 'fandom' in and of itself is the ability to discern and interpret a character's depth as you so see fit, without the concern that others will not like it or such. Here's what I got home to:

(7:18:10 PM): so why are you so bad at writing fanfics?
(7:19:19 PM): your supposed to be some sort of hiyori fan or whatever yet you seemingly just degrade her in your poorly made fan fictions and ignore statements she has made
(7:22:01 PM): wake up I want to ask you some stuff
(7:26:41 PM): I mean your damn near 30 years old and hte best thing you have to do with your time is write totally unrealistic stories about fictional characters having sex with eachother even though it would never happen if you actually knew the characters properly
(7:28:12 PM): if you want to fuck shinji so bad shove a picture of him up your ass but stop trying to write stories about other people fucking him just because you want to and cant
(7:29:36 PM): you must be one of those easy girls because you seem to be against the idea of someone actually remaining a virgin even though they said thats what they want to do
(7:29:43 PM): you probably fucked everyone at your school when you were younger

Understandably unpleasent, and unwarranted. If you don't like something that I write, that's fine. Please, feel free to tell me that you don't like it, and to tell me why you don't like it. But don't expect some sort of apology for the fact that I wrote something you didn't like, and there's certainly no need to insult me.

So, as I assume this person is requesting clarification as to the contents of Ch23 of 24 Chips of Bone, I will courteously oblige their infantile behaviour with an explanation that is completely unnecessary.

It is a well-known fact of canon that Hiyori has stated that she wishes to be a virgin bride. The fact that I portrayed a sexual scene between her and Shinji in my fic has been questioned several times and I have no problem at all explaining the reasoning that led to me putting it there. 24 Chips of Bone takes place over the course of their relationship, leading up to an as-yet fictional final showdown in the Winter War. I chose to illustrate the two of them spending a night together not as a way to flout canon or characterization but because I wished to portray the poignancy of finding yourself on the precipice of what could be your last night on this earth, faced with a dilemma in which the one person who you always placed in that wedding-day fantasy in your head is someone who you haven't even been able to confess your feelings to, much less make any headway towards that ultimate goal. Given that fact, and the fact that there may never be another tomorrow, what ultimately becomes more important is the fact that there may never be another chance to express those feelings which are so difficult to share. And while it is indeed canon that she has stated she wishes to be a virgin bride, in no way has she stated that she is against the idea of sex, or of ultimately having sex, a fact that those who have problems with this chapter generally seem to forget.

Some people may feel that such a thing doesn't fit, or that it was placed there simply for the sake of sex, or because I have a 'fix' that I need to get. We'll get one thing straight. If I want sex, I don't have to write and fantasize about it, I can simply go to bed with my fiance. And if someone else feels a scene such as that is ill-placed, that is their business, and I am certainly not about to tell them they cannot have the opinion. I however, felt that it was well-placed and was a very touching display of choices made when there is no time left and the only thing that matters anymore is who you want to spend your last moments with and the fact that this chance may be all you have.

As to the individual in question: I regret that my poor roommate had to deal with your ridiculous idiocy this evening. Your opinion is your own, and you are welcome to it. However, I do not intend or wish to speak to you at all. Had you approached with a simple query and request for clarification, I would have been more than happy to oblige you, but obviously that was beyond the capabilities of your insignificant person. Your insult-throwing and the manner in which you chose to express your displeasure has shown me that you are no better than the silly little children who feel that any scene depicting the characters in their favourite pairing in the same frame equates with canon pairing. You are intolerant and completely unwilling to accept that another person may have a very different spin on a character than you do, and your deliverance of said opinion shows a woeful lack of maturity. Consider developing some before you turn 20 and get out into the real world, you'll find that out here no one gives a damn whether you like or dislike something. Your assurance to my roomie that you "highly doubt I will use personal insults on her if she keeps the discussion reasonable and realistic" means not a thing, as your previous statements have already shown you to be incapable of intelligent discourse without stooping to insults, and I have far better things to do with my time than waste it attempting to change the mind of someone whose opinion matters less to me than the last deposit I left in my toilet. Surprisingly, we actually do agree on one thing, and that is that meaningless sex in fandom is frustrating. However, I am not an ignorant child who is so afraid of any sort of sexual contact that they feel threatened by the fact that someone else chooses to write one of their favourite characters into a sexual situation because that author sees it as feasible. Therefore, I am going to refrain from throwing insults and suggestions as to your past sexual history, or the fact that you must obviously feel very uncomfortable with yourself to feel the need to validate your own status with that of a character, nor do I feel the need to comment on mine. And seeing as you claim this is an opinion that you've had for quite a time, yet you've only chosen to attack me on it since I joined a particular forum, I have to wonder at how spineless you truly are, child. I am certainly not secretive in regards to my contact information so I can only assume that you lacked the stones to actually speak up and voice your opinion before this. Or is it simply because I dared to stray into your little world today? Or perhaps that diaper is on too tight. I wonder.

In closing, if you don't enjoy something, simply don't read it and move on, as I and other mature fans choose to do when we come across numerous pieces of badly written, OOC, crackish, and downright awful fanfiction and fanart. There is hardly reason to create a spectacle of yourself over a piece of fanfiction.

You will see that I deliberately failed to include your screen-name on this. That was done as a courtesy to you, because while I feel you are a sorry example of what is wrong with kids these days, I nonetheless feel that your opinion is your own and that you have a right to it, and I will not create a situation where anyone who agrees with ME would have free reign to harrass and bother you the way you have bothered me.

Should you wish any future discourse or discussion in regards to any of my work, do see to it that you use the big-kid voice and don't forget your manners.
