Question me

[louiselux]

I'm in a navel gazing sort of mood and would like to talk about writing. Does anyone have any questions about any of my stories, or would be interested in a fic commentary? Or maybe a question about my writing techniques, such as they are?

Please feel free to ask anything - I'll try and answer as best I can.

YES. Oh, so many. It's funny you ask this because it's something I fret about on a regular basis, eg, if I write some out and out crack will people just look at me askance and move on? Did you ask because you have the same worry? I'm interested.

Since watching Bionic Woman I have a yen for writing a Saiyuki AU. And there is the Barbarella one too that I would love to write.

I approve of both of these ideas. In case you were wondering.

Ahaha! EXCELLENT.

Well, no, not really - I haven't come up with anything like that myself except for same teensy cracky bits of Gojyo encountering Sanada Yukimura from Samurai Deeper Kyo, which I do fear would lose me both sets of fans! I think they're more a way of feeling out what's the same and what's different about two of my very favorite characters. Part of my problem, too, is that a lot of the other things I like are pretty obscure (a friend and I were once talking through a bit of an SDK-C.J. Cherryh crossover, for example).

I just have really enjoyed your AUs and crossovers, even when I didn't know the other half of the scenario well, and was wondering what wondrous things might be bubbling on the back burner ... and hoping that they wouldn't stay there permanently!

Ooooh, C.J. Cherryh! Alas, I don't know Samurai Deeper Kyo.

Shounen swords-and-sorcery manga, with a good dollop of Weird Science (esp. genetics) in the latter half (the "Mibu Arc"). Tied with Saiyuki for first place in my manga affections. I keep thinking that a couple of the villains in the Mibu section ought to meet Ariane Emory I from Cyteen. Interesting things could ensue. See here for a little more about SDK, including some links to samples of the artwork.

Hi! Sorry, I seem to have lost track of this thread at some point. I think if you want to do a cross over from something obscure, you should go ahead and do it, because there will always be someone who is thrilled to bits by it. I don't know SDK, but the chance of seeing Gojyo interact in a crossovery way with other characters makes me very very happy.

Things bubbling away on the back burner - just too many things. I'd love to write something about the real Vlad the Impaler. I just sat down last week and wrote 15k words where Hakkai is a hairdresser and Gojyo is a trucker with an enormous beard. I just daren't post it because it is so random. I am pretty much consumed all the time with ideas for stories. And porn.

smillaraaq got me thinking about Gojyo and Hakkai interacting with the boys from Poppy Z. Brite's Drawing Blood the other day. And I did a tiny snippet for vom_marlowe on my regular account back a couple of months ago, Gojyo with Yuuko from xxxHolic. (A couple of other people asked for Saiyuki characters on that little outing, but crossed with SDK characters because they know those are my 2 favorite series: Hazel and SDK's tough little girl bounty hunter, Yuya, and Sanzo and my favorite SDK character, bon vivant rebel opposition leader Yukimura.)

I can easily see Gojyo as a trucker, but I dunno about the beard! I can see that a hairdresser would really want to do something about that beard ... . I was tinkering with something where he was originally from a very tacky tourist trap town in Tennesee - Gatlinburg - and was part Cherokee, and ended up with Hakkai when they were both posted to Afghanistan.

I too approve of these ideas. ♥ There can never be enough Saiyuki AU. >.>

I too have crackfic!shame, and feel sure everyone will defriend me if I wrote and posted some of the REALLY odd stuff in my brain . . .

[louiselux.livejournal.com]

Heee! Odder even than the Evil Overlord? You can't say that and then not tell us what the really odd stuff is.

[daegaer.livejournal.com]

He is one of the odder inhabitants of my brain (and I do have fic!shame when I post Schwarzkinder drabbles), but still . . . I'm sort of alarmed that not only do I have mpreg-by-pollen but must now also have the result thereof. and that that makes sense, in my mind.
