Not too bad. Headache is gone. Had a major anxiety attack last night, but that actually helped because now I know where I'm going with the Amy/Julian fic. In her own way, Amy helped with my anxiety attack. Sweet girl...'till you meet her XD

So, what's up tonight?

I'm mildly offended by that!

Just chilling out l. I finished my paper and now I'm thinking about working on some fanfiction.

;) Sorry, couldn't help but throw a little jab in.

Everything go well with the paper? I'd love to read the final version, if you are so inclined to share it. As you saw, I've got a personal fascination with this topic. If not, that's cool too, of course!
Now, on to more important things, right? :)

;P Poor Amy. Her wit and cynicism are so under-appreciated.

It's not technically the "final version," because the one I was working on last night was a rough draft believe it or not. xD But I sent you my rough draft, and when I edit/re-edit, etc, I'll send you the final version, too.

Of course! Like fanfiction! Gotta get your request done! I've been neglecting my duties as an FAC member. And as your friend! :O How horrible of me.

lol, probably right. Haha, poor girl.

Hey, quick question- what would you think about a modern day Holmes/Azami story? Yes, Holmes, not a typo.

Cool, I'll give it a read-through in a minute. Still working on math --'

Take your time. I've been taking my time with your RQ, sadly. I don't want to give you a sub-standard product! I can't wait to see how people react to Holmes on FF.

Poor Amy. Only gets love from Julian. Not that she'd complain. Love from Julian is spectacular.

That would be... interesting. Do it!

Sure. Oh, that reminded me to post chapter 2- your pilot. Speaking of, can I have that fic of Dan in the Delta quadrant with voyager? I need it as a background piece on him. I'm gonna post it as a second story.

I'll take your word for it ;)

Okay, cool, I'll do that.

Sure thing. I'm going to join ff for the sole reason of commenting on your stuff, I think. I'll email you the chapter when I finish my math. Almost done...I think --'

There are hundreds of steamy fanfics to prove it!

Lol. Comments are love, so I do appreciate it! xD Just don't comment on YOUR chapters. That would be just too much. lol. Good luck with the math.

lol, really? Geez!

I've got to comment on my chapters! That would be hilarious!

NG wrote: "Who wrote this drivel? Good God, this sucks! And this 'Holmes' guy- no one is THAT much of a loser! Dude, get a cupcake and jump Janeway, already! I hate this guy. Phaser set to kill aimed at that loser redshirt!"

Well, I actually haven't looked yet, but it's pretty much a guarantee.

Lmao xD Flame your own stuff. Awesome. Actually, do it! That would be awesome.

I'd agree, actually. Though how Kira always gets the 'sexy' roles on DS9. Nana Visitor is adorable, don't get me wrong, but with Terry Farell right there...

That would be hilarious XD Link me when you've got it up ;) If you could credit me as 'Drawingblade', that would be great.

Well, it's the round-dark-eyed pixie look she's got. Terry is sort of the asexual hottie in DS9. She never gets with ANYONE. You know, until the alpha male of the universe comes along. *derisive snort*

lmao, fair point. For my money, though, go Dax! XD

Cool, thanks! I made my account. I'm about to comment XD Man, I should have edited that chapter more heavily --'

Oh, chill out. It was fine when I read it, so I'm sure the other readers will be fine with it too. :P

lol, still! I fixed the obvious mistakes, but I missed quite a bit. Blah. Oh well. Hopefully it'll go over well. I just commented. I noted that I gave you permission to use the story, just in case it comes up.

I know. I just got like, 8 emails from ff'net, all about you. xD

oh, really? Cool! Anything good, or just 'did he give permission?' stuff?

Just the story/author alert and story/author fave, then review alert. then your comment on FAC. xD

Oh, right. I forgot about that, since I never turn on the email alerts.
Oh, you might have to change your description of my chapter, since I did wind up making an account. I don't want to make a liar out of you XD

xD thanks a LOT! >:C

lol, sorry. I just wanted to play, too! Are you mad at me? (Puppy eyes)

(bites lip, loses all train of thought) I, what? Who's mad? What's there to be mad about?

lol, so that's where we're at. I know where I want to go, but now how, specifically to get there. I even re-read our original DS9 rp in an attempt to get an idea, but nothing jumped out. It's been that way with all of my fics lately.

Maybe if I see the dialogue I can help further, just throw some ideas out?

Sure. I'll email it to you tomorrow night. My headache is worse, so I'm going to log off. Hopefully, I'll have added a bit more before tomorrow night.

Good luck with your paper. If I can be of anymore help, just ask ^^

Feel better! :(

Compare contrast. I chose purchasing music/movies vs illegally downloading them.

Any way I can help? Being a business major, this topic has come up before.

xD Can you do it for me? ;p

Only if you like failing. You've seen my grammar. Besides, you'd have to do my algebra for me. Not a good trade for you imho. Much as I'd love to trade, believe me!

xD Well I can fix grammar. I just don't want to DO it. ANd no I think I'll pass on THAT particular trade.

I could always bribe you with sex, however. That seems to be a powerful motivator.

lol, I don't blame you, on both counts.

You could try, but I doubt I would be much up to the task with math on the brain. That's a big turn-off for me.

Oh, I'm sure you'd be up for it eventually. All I need to do is distract you. And you seem pretty low-maintainance. (not a bad thing)

lol, probably. You're probably right. And yeah, it doesn't take much to please me ^^ What would please me right now is for every f***ing number in the universe to equate itself off the nearest cliff.

Lmao you and every other non-math major in the galaxy.

lol, probably so.

Worse yet, I'm taking this stupid thing online. So there are prerequisetes set up for each part of the course. Meaning if I screw up once and score less than a 90 on a homework or less than a 75 on a quiz, I'm completely screwed for that entire section. --' As if the stupid course wasn't hard enough, they throw this crap in now! Gahhh!

Why didn't you take it as a real class? You should always take 'real' classes for the subjects you're worst at, so the teacher's always there to help.

Do your best subjects online, so it'll be a sinch.

I've tried. The professors aren't real understanding when it comes to my anxiety. They usually force me to withdraw from the class due to an attendance policy issue. See, the way my anxiety works, if I have an anxiety attack, I need to leave. Quickly. And I may not be able to come back. Or I may need to be late for one class or another. This falls under the Office for Students with Disabilities jurisdiction, and the office is a joke. They can't make exceptions unless I have a glaring, obvious physical disability. We've sparred over this several times, just shy of me brining in a lawyer.

Anyway, long story short, 'real' college doesn't suit me well --' Which sucks, because it means no parties and getting laid. Oh, and there's situation like this, too, I guess! XD

You should definitely file a lawsuit. You can't help your anxiety attacks, and how you have to deal with them is how you have to deal with them. They shouldn't be able to deny you coverage through Disabilities. That's stupid.

You would think. I keep hearing lines about 'well, we've got a committee meeting on it'. I finally called them on it and said 'Hey, how about letting me speak at one of these things? What better than a walking, talking, real person who deals with this'. Kind of like 'Oh...we'll get back to you'.

I'm just debating whether or not the lawyer's fee would be worth it or not at this point. I'm tempted, though, believe me.

Well it's definitely worth it if it can improve your college experience. You can always try to get a pro bono lawyer.

Also, can I have your help real quick? It's nothing too strenuous, I just need a couple of ideas. (for my paper)

Fair point, on both counts.

Sure ^^ How can I help?

Check your email. ^^

Let's see...it all looks good. Maybe for II B you could mention something about how downloading illegally interferes with an artist's right to a living. It takes legitimately earnable money out of the pocket of the rightful receiver.
If you need a specific incident that is similar in nature, you can point to Sega's last game console (the Dreamcast). In a nutshell, there are more pirated copies of Dreamcast games than legitimate ones, and that caused a company under financial stress to lose a lot more money, which directly affects the video game market, and to a lesser extent, the economy.

And, morally speaking, put yourself in the artist in question's shoes. Losing money that you earned legally? Since ancient times, one of the sure ways to piss off your fellow man is to impede his right and ability to make a living.

Lol leave it to me to accidentally pick the business major for this. xD You're perfect for this!

lol, thanks! Been there, done that, wrote a paper on it at some point (Don't still have it, though). If you need a title for this section, you could always call it something like 'Financial Impact'.

I titled it this: To Pay or Not to Pay: The Dilemma

Too much?

Not at all; I think it suits it nicely.

Great! Anyway. What's up tonight?

Oh, one last idea- if you're desperate for filler, you could probably even note things like Amazon.com contributing to the downfall of Borders. Both legal, but the easy access of the online world makes trips to the bookstore unnecessary. Or perhaps a better comparison for your case would be redbox and netflix ousting Blockbuster. Though if you ask me, they had it coming, the thieves! $19 dollars for a three day rental is absurd!

(ahem)

Not much up atm. Can't think clearly after studying. Still tossing around better ways to make Amy/Julian go better. Any ideas? Anything you'd like to see?

You could show me what you have, and i could give you ideas on where to go from there, if you like.

Yep, my doctor who one was submitted a little less than a week ago.

Thanks! I love Kakashi, although I messed up a bit with Sakura.

You like the green lantern one? I hate the face. -_- I'm usually really good with faces (not to brag, just saying) but I totally screwed that one up.

I like a lot of different anime from different genres. xD

Bleach
Naruto
Inuyasha
Ouran High School Host Club
Princess Jellyfish
Nodame Cantabile
Dragon Ball Z (blast from the past! lol)
Nana

Those aren't necessarily in order from least to greatest fave, though. But yeah. How 'bout you?

Oh right, FMA. I like that, too.

Depends on the request, I s'pose. I also do fanfiction, if that interests you. Doesn't hurt to ask. What's your request?

Um, which series' are they from? I could probably do both.

A pic or description of both would be nice.

Alright, that should help. I can't promise it'll be anytime in the immediate future though. I've got school and fanfictions and stuff, you know.

What sort of kiss are you going for? Sweet and romantic, hot and steamy, etc?

Also, are either of your OC's the type to initiate? Or would they expect their man to initiate such acts of romance?

Elaborate on 'protective romantic kiss'?

Ah, okay. That helps. xD Sorry.

I'll get to work on those as soon as my schedule allows! ^^

I usually just do pencil shading... but I can color one, I suppose. I do need to build those skills. Which would you prefer to be colored?

Oh and I already got a review on my ST fic on ff net!

I get them a lot, but not normally that bad. I think I exerted myself too much or something while outside. It was really hot out --'

Math for me. Though I'm on a break atm.

Hey, that's great! Congrats!

While I'm thinking about it, do you mind if I post your first ep as my chapter two, crediting you for writing it? If I leave it out, I kind of have to leave Holmes out, and I don't want to totally alter the storyline, you know?

So, you're feeling better tonight?

Sure, that's fine ^^ Just send me a link so I can keep track of the comments, too.

I've still got a headache, but it's much lighter compared to last night, thanks ^^

Yeah. I used to be a producer for another project, but that one never reached completion.

Hey, cool! I'm sure they'll love it on FF! And I'm always ready to read your fic when you're done!
As for me, I was doing math homework before. Now I'm relaxing before I study for Japanese. I'm taking the N5 level of the Japanese Language Proficiency Test in December, hopefully! Then I can put it as a language skill on a resume.

Explain to me what the role of a "producer" entails.

I dunno, they're not very partial to OC's as you say.

You'd better be! xD I've been procrastinating on it for days!

I'm taking it next semester, hopefully! Kind of excited.

It's basically a high-level management thing. I went the extra step and was actively involved in designing levels, but my job was chiefly to recruit people, assign teams, set deadlines, make sure those deadlines were met, etc. I was also doing advertising, and occasionaly heading up the design or art departments. I hope that's a helfpul description.

That's true. Although some of them do get behind quality, too.

lol, I'm always ready for something like that!

I'll be happy to help you, if you need it ^^

That helps, yeah.

I hope I get a few curious ff.net'ers who end up liking it, and spread the word, or whatever. xD

Who isn't?

Thanks!

Also, I wasn't sure what to title the DS9 fic. On here, it's "DS9" but on ff.net, where it's already categorized into DS9 under star trek, that seems a little redundant. For now, I titled it "The Long Run." What do you think would be a more effective title?

Cool. I'm glad it helped. It's a really fun job. I'd love for it to be a career.

That's how it usually works, I think. It's not like FAC, where no one reads.

True enough.

No problem. It's good for me, too.

Let me think about it and get back to you. I can't think up anything good atm. Brain is fried from nearly 4 hours of continuous math study --'

Lol no kidding. Almost immediately after I posted that one I had you read (the Chuck one), I got about 3 reviews. Since then I've gotten at least 3 more.

Sure, sure. Take your time. It won't be up on ff until some ungodly hour in the morning anyway.

So, at the risk of sounding like a broken record, how's Amlian/Hisato going? (btw that's my 'couple nickname' for amy/julian and yamato/hisako. xD

I've got so many readers on FAC. Like, 2. You and Andr28a.

Thanks. Sorry, I just can't think up anything good, for some reason.

Still in progress, a little farther along than before :)

You're practically famous!

S'ok. xD I can't think of anything either, so I can't really judge.

;_; you're killing me!

lol, really! I should sign autographs!

I admit, in a hokier moment 'as the space station turns' crossed my mind --'

Sorry. I just cannot get creative, for some reason. It's driving me nuts, too.

Say, did you ever watch Scrubs?

You could make a mint off of selling!

(facepalms you)

Why do you think that is?

Only one episode, many many years ago.

Well, I've got to go for the night. I need to be up very shortly. Sorry to end the party so early tonight. Have a good night.

Good evening! How are you?

Love it! I love the balance of emotion here. It's very deep, but has its lighthearted moments too. Really quite beautiful.

Was her reliving the rape too much for FAC, do you think? I don't go into detail, but at the same time it's a little off-putting. Although I do think that having Yuji more conscious than she knew was a nice touch. There are few things that set Yuji off like that. Raping his new girlfriend in front of him...yeah, kinda sheds more light on what made him drug up and kill those fools!

So, how are you tonight?

I think it would be good to put a warning at the beginning of the chapter, but I don't see why not.

I'm good. My friend is coming over tomorrow to study, and tonight I'm doing a bit of reading. I may work some more on your RQ, if I finish this book before too late tonight. You?

Fair enough. I wonder if I made the rape scene too tame now. It's hard to find a good balance. I want it to be powerful and scary, but at the same time I want to avoid being a complete pig.

Hey, nice! I'm going to study a bit tonight, work on some fics (hopefully yours), and that's about it. I've got a friend coming over to study tomorrow, too, come to think.

No, I think you balanced it out nicely. I felt revolted for her, and totally understood why Yuji snapped and went all vigilante.

Lol what a coincidence.

So then it was as classy as a rape scene could get, basically? I can't help but worry. But it was the only explanation for a straight arrow like Yuji to turn to drugs.
How about their little mini semi-hentai scenes? Were those okay, too? Not so good at those --'

Studying is much better with friends. Misery loves company and all.

xD a little insecure, are we? Didn't you get my comment about it? I loved it. Relax, man.

True, true.

Insecure. Definitely insecure XD And I did get your comment. Still worried, of course! Wouldn't be me if I wasn't worried.

I hate math. Really, really hate math --'

Don't worry. It's a great piece of prose.

You are definitely not alone there. Bleh.

Cool. Thank you! Hopefully I'll finish that series up soon, too.

I almost never pass it the first time. I get overwhelmed easily in math, for some reason.

Please do!

Understandable. Math sucks.

After I'm done writing from Azami's POV, I'd like to write from a more normal girl's POV. As in maybe she occasionally has people attracted to her, and she's got friends. Yuji being a loner is both good and bad. It keeps the story simple, but really, I can only have him walking alone in the rain forlornly smoking a rare cigarette so many times XD

I hate how there's only one right answer to a question. That's the hardest part for me.

Sounds interesting. I'm toying with a fanfic for this book I'm reading. It does NOT end the way I want it to.

I just hate numbers. Period.

I hate endings that aren't good. Always makes me want to write a fic, too. Which book is it that you're reading, if I may ask?

I swear, I'm going to burn the phone book just because it has numbers in it! XD

"Specials." By Scott Westerfield.

Sorry I just responded now, I didn't get the notification email. -_- Stupid y!mail app on my phone is frizzing out.

How are you tonight?

Oh, cool! That is a nice twist.

Weird question here- what do you think is the worst thing that could happen to Yuji?

Yeah, but at the end of this episode, his dad got taken hostage by the bad organization.

xD Idk... death?

Ah, that sucks. Probably more interesting that way.

Good answer. I was just curious what came to mind for you. You'll see why I asked later in Serving.

Yeah. I've no doubt they're going to rescue him successfully. I'm reading while I wait for the next episode to download.

xD You gonna kill him off?

Oh, first worst thing; getting his genitals removed. second; death.

Ah. Reading anything good?

He'll be tortured, but in a different way than usual. It's interesting. Something I hadn't considered with him before.

That's a good point. Since his tormentors are usually female and usually attracted to him, I tend to leave his jewels in place, lol. Maybe an accident that forces him to be recreated as a female might be interesting...lol.

I was toying with yet another idea. I've been trying to decide which girl should get a story told from her POV.

Yes, actually. Heard of the Artemis Fowl series?

Hmm... I'm intrigued.

Haha. I had that as an idea for a one-shot for him. xD

Azami, duh.

Heard of in name only. Not familiar with it.

As I'd hoped. We aren't too far removed from that arc, so hopefully it won't be long before you read it. Oh- and he gets laid soon! Yay for Yuji! lol.

Oh, you should do it, then! I'm more occupied with a romantic comedy where Azami tries to show him that girls aren't so different from guys by forcing him to cross dress and go out with her for a day.

lol. I was thinking about her. I'd actually had one from her POV in the works. I was about to ask you if you wouldn't mind reading what I have so far. I'm not sure it's suited for FAC...So if you've got a spare few minutes, want to help me out?

Good evening. How are you?
