Been thinking about Liar Game. (New chapter needs out, or I will start posting my meta)

Been thinking about the Akiyama-Nao team, and how Harimoto basically set up the initial rounds to try and break them. It (seems to have) failed. It's known how Nao saw what Akiyama was trying to do that allowed them to save that bond. But it's also true that Akiyama knew (or probably knew) that Nao didn't team up with Kimura and Mikamoto.

( Mathematical (?) proof )

/finishes being late to the party
/finishes doing math instead of working

So anyway, leaving that there, just so I can be smug about it.

One day I might have written an Aki/Nao ship manifesto.

That is no longer necessary, as it exists embedded in this chapter.

yuri_challenge reveals are up.

@lassarina Thank you ♥

Lifeline (2767 words) by dagas isa
Chapters: 1/1
Fandom: Liar Game
Rating: Teen And Up Audiences
Warning: No Archive Warnings Apply
Relationships: Akiyama Shinichi/Kanzaki Nao
Summary:

Akiyama gets sick and fails to evade Nao.

1. Liar Game is making me happy, very very happy. Also very suspenseful, as the game is truly at foot, and I'm hoping Nao climbs another rung on her badass ingenue ladder. I'm almost tempted to meta to an audience, again.

2. Kpop is also making me happy. First with Miryo's solo finally being released, and it being excellent, and her collaborating with SNSD's Sunny (who is my ultimate Kpop bias right after Miryo). And then...just Kim Taeyeon in general.

( I'm having a Taeyeon Moment. So have some YouTubes )

3. I've updated my final Porn Battle post. Here it is. 3 Homestuck, 1 Final Fantasy X-2, 1 Liar Game

4. I also signed up for month_of_meta for two topics: 1. Being a small-fandom fan, and 2. Writing humor in fanfic. I am almost, but not quite, dumb enough to want to talk about my opinions on avoiding the male gaze in femslash. The problem is that my meta would end up being a rant that is helpful for no one.

5. Yuri Challenge's Valentine's 2012 is now up.

Summary:

AU, in which Fang and Vanille did not become l'Cie. Oerba needs to set up an advance camp for mining the materials that make their technology run, and Fang and Vanille are on the scouting team, which may not turn out as easy as they had hoped.

Words fail me when trying to review fic I've read, but I really like this. It's cute and sweet, and I really do like the world-building that went up around Oerba.

Dear Yuletide Dromedary:

Hello, and thank you for being my Yuletide author. These three fandoms are near to my heart in various ways, and I’m so happy to know you offered to write for one or more of them.

The first thing you should know: I am a huge fan of female characters. I love het, femslash/yuri, and female-focused gen. My tastes run more to the fluffy/happy side, but I don't mind angst or bad things happening in the story just as long as the ending is happy or hopeful. I don't mind high ratings, but I don't want excessive violence or a straight-up PWP fic. If there's sex, I want it to be a vital part of the story and specific to the characters, not just for the sexy factor.

I don't mind m/m as a background element, but I would prefer the story be more focused on at least one female character, even then.

As for things I definitely would not enjoy: Character bashing of all types, sad depressing grimdark stories with little hope to be found, excessive violence, character death, and non-con. The story doesn't need to be all sunshine and rainbows, but there does need to be some light.

Now for some fandom specifics:

( Liar Game )

( Brown Eyed Girls – Sixth Sense Music Video )

( Final Fantasy XI )

Anyway, good luck and I can't wait to see what you come up with. =D

To get the real life stuffs out of the way: My sinuses hate me right now, and I hate being a grown up. Other than that, life is good.


( Bingo! )

( In a particular writing mood. )

For maat_seshat, who asked for either Nao or Unohana. This is Nao.

These answers are about things I find fundamental to characters. I really do like playing around with varying possibilities, crack theories, different identity conceptions and a lot of other things that sound really pretentious when it's obvious that I write a lot of mediocre short fic, but these are things that regardless of twisting (such as that In Nomine/Liar Game crossover where Nao is a Mercurian of Yves in service of Novalis in a chess game between Novalis and Malphas or a young trans woman creating a story wherein she gets to be completely girly and save the world her way and get both the guy and a best-friend/mentor) that hold true for the character. Sorry. >.> Just saying, these are the fundamentals.


You might find me a bit *ahem* opinionated as to how to write Nao, and I'm about 99% positive that that way I see her is unlike how most of the rest of the fandom sees her. So this is what makes her both 'in-character' for me and worth writing about as a character. Oh yeah, and this is Manga!Nao because I write her pretty much exclusively.

( This got long. Told you I was opinionated. )

If you'd like, you can still ask for a character here and I'll give them a similar treatment.

Dear Yuletide Writer-Giraffe-Person,

First off, thank you for participating and yay for offering to write in at least one of my pet fandoms. A fic in any of these canons would make me absolutely happy. I'm looking forward to reading what you have to write for me, and above all else, I hope you have fun doing it. ^^

I am a huge fan of female characters of all kinds and female characters being awesome in any and all capacities. I like gen, het, and femslash. Any rating is fine, but I'd rather not see excessive violence or PWP.

My favorite story/plot kinks include domesticity, worldbuilding, unusual modes of transportation, and non-violent action. I am a sucker for canon characters as kids, especially if another character is temporarily forced into a parent/elder-sibling/caretaker role. I don't mind crack!fic, particularly if it features one or more characters getting pets. Angst is nice as long as the ending is happy/hopeful.

I really like quiet stories, slice of life, and character vignettes. I like witty banter and dialogue that conveys more than just what the words are saying. I love powerful but understated shows of intimacy. I like emotional-conflict where all involved are sympathetic. I like crushes, shows of devotion,and I love seeing symbiotic relationships.

I like sexual content if it's there to show something about the character(s) or relationship involved or if it advances the plot. Anything from vanilla to kink is fine. I particularly like reading about a character's fantasies or sexual contact that still leaves more to be discovered.

As far as what I wouldn't like, I hate any kind of character bashing, particularly of female characters. Please don't do darkfic (no character death/excessive violence/non-con). The story doesn't need to be all sugar and rainbows, but I would like there to be at least some hope.

I would prefer not to receive anything with an m/m pairing as the main focus. If the story you come up with has an m/m pairing in the background background, that's fine, but I'd rather the primary focus be on something else. Preferably a female character.


Now onto specific fandom requests.

( Empowered (any) )

( Final Fantasy XI (any) )

( BOSS (Eriko Ozawa, Kimoto Mami, Narahashi Reiko )

( Liar Game (any) )

Anyway, I hope that is helpful to you, Yuletide Writer and that it sparks your imagination. Please have a lot of fun with this. ^^
