Fic Woes

[slumber]

HP fic, for some reason, is boring me right now. I mean, I know there's good fic out there, but I hate sifting through recs and stuff even if they are already recs, just to find something I really really truly enjoy. I've read many beautiful fics, don't get me wrong, but I think it's been a really long time since I last enjoyed a fic in the way that makes me want to write.

I'm currently feeling nostalgic too, and have gone to browse at the archive for one of my favorite ships in my fandom history: Wufei/Duo, from Gundam Wing. Except, it's even harder to find good fic for it. Woe. I wish I could write fic for it, but it's harder now that I realize the importance of knowing canon. (I've written eleven fics for GW, and I've never even seen the show. LOL.)

Also, my stomach hurts.

Eee, disillusioned ficness is not good. What in particular are you looking for?

[slumber.livejournal.com]

I know. Wah. I dunno... I think maybe something that isn't a mainstream ship (ducks from GnHers--hee. :P) and something very gripping and mind-blowing. Part of my problem is that I won't know what it is exactly I'm looking for because I'd read anything. :P

Ooooh, Gundam Wing! I miss that show. Though I always was more of a TrowaXQuatre person myself. Hee. ^_^

3x4 is like S/R in HP--it's canon, nobody can contest it. ^_~

[irian.livejournal.com]

Hehe. I *heart* that pairing. They're both such sweeties.

[ant-power.livejournal.com]

It's the RPG's! They feed on your will to write fic, it's how they survive!

*huggles* I feel kind of the same myself. It's rotten, isn't it.

[lafina.livejournal.com]

Same goes for you GF! *points to comment for Slumber* I need want icons, dammit! *puppy eyes* *gets on knees and begs* Please?

[ant-power.livejournal.com]

Hey Laf.

Do you have bases or anything? If you send me bases maybe I could, but I'm kind of busy at the moment, what with the two RPGs and HD100 and RL and everything.

Check out the link in the the comment to Slumber: I have nothhing. It would be text-stuff. basically. But I can't say much about it because I am teh icon-n00b. Sadly, because if I weren't, I could make them myself. :/

[slumber.livejournal.com]

*huggles back* Possibly the RPGs. Not that I mind them, really. :P

[ninotsjka-bloom.livejournal.com]

I had that for a week. Last week actually. But then I got an idea for a Draco/Luna fic.
What I do is this: I have a lot of chaptered fics. I just let them wait a while and when I look at them again I have an idea how to continue.
And maybe it's good to do RPG's of other fandoms. Maybe even about real people, like I'm doing. Or fanfics about real people...

[slumber.livejournal.com]

At least you've got some sort of method... I don't write chaptered fics so I can't say that would work for me.

And I usually feel awkward writing RP fic, though I don't mind reading it. :P

[ninotsjka-bloom.livejournal.com]

I tried to write a RP fic a while ago for the RP... It was so bad. We never posted it! Although I still have it somewhere on my computer...

[lafina.livejournal.com]

My stomach hurts too. :( *pets your stomach and gives hot-water bottle*

Mmmh... if you don't want to write... you could make me an icon. Look (http://www.livejournal.com/users/lafina/13582.html). *shifty eyes*

[slumber.livejournal.com]

Oooh, thanks. :)

Haha. You know, I can't work with a completely blank slate, but I can probably throw in a few icons. Getty Images is a wonderful place. :P What's the site going to be about, anyway?

[lafina.livejournal.com]

It's a chat-forum, like FAP, but with no theme. Rofl. It's done by a friend of mine, and it's like... the place where all interenet-kiddies of my grade unite. Gettyimages is spazzing for me... anyway what kind of images would you use in a forum with no theme? I was thinking more along the lines of animated text-icons for "moderator" and "admin" and stuff. :p

[slumber.livejournal.com]

What do you mean by animated text-icons? :D

[lafina.livejournal.com]

Like GF's with the hair. Text-only, but flashy. :P

[slumber.livejournal.com]

Hmm... I'll see what I can come up with. (Not too good at coloring though! Best I get is Variations. LOL.) Does it have to be under a specific size?

[lafina.livejournal.com]

100x100 pixels I guess. Normal-sized. You're a dear. *schnoogles*

[slumber.livejournal.com]

I meant file size. :) I might end up blowing the icons out of proportion, or something. :P

[lafina.livejournal.com]

Mmmmmmmh, don't think so. As long as it isn't like huuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuge, it should be ok. XD

[gifted-dream.livejournal.com]

Yea, I know what you mean. I think it's because I've been reading way too much fic that I'm starting to get a little tired of it. *Shrugs*

[slumber.livejournal.com]

See? See? It isn't just me, after all. I hope it's just a phase... I went through something like this maybe two years back, too.

[tastes-of-ink.livejournal.com]

Ah Gundam Wing...my first love. Trowa/Quatre...those were the days...
I could never find anyone I really liked shipping WuFei with...so I crossed GW and Weiss Kreuz and had a nice WuFei/Omi fic...those were indeed the days...

[slumber.livejournal.com]

Honestly, if it weren't for one bastardized Heero too many, I would never have seen Wufei the way I do now. :P *huggles Fei*

Those were the days indeed.

PS. Weiss Kreuz was another fandom I loved. *waves Yoken flag* :P
