lucathiaHappy holidays, everyone! :)
I came home very late yesterday and was going to crash after not having slept much at all (I even fell asleep while playing video games with my brother during our family gathering, but right after we stopped shooting zombies and started playing something else, I couldn't keep my eyes open anymore). So yeah, I was going to crash but then Yuletide went live. Of course I had to forgo sleep to get at my gift fics, but even then, I only managed to read one fic before I just couldn't stay awake anymore, and since I stayed up so late and didn't sleep much the day before, it meant I woke up later than usual too. :'D Anyway, on to the lovely fics!
music is no match for happiness (and grandness none for music) (Mekakushi no Kuni, Namiki)
This is just pure love. Namiki is perhaps my most favorite character of all times, except almost no fanwork exists for the series, so I never have the chance to fangirl over him or the series! This piece reminds me why I adore Namiki so much, and it makes me want to read the series all over again (I already have, many times). I also feel like I should be writing the next chapter of my Mekakuni fic, and I think I will after Yuletide. :) The prose in this piece is really beautiful, and Namiki is just so very Namiki. I will be rereading this a lot!
Explore (Noblesse, M-21)
This fic made me giggle a lot. It's just M-21 exploring Frankenstein's house, which is such a normal thing to do, but when it's Frankenstein's house + M-21's paranoia... *g* I was so amused that I couldn't even leave a comment right away since I was busy laughing. Oh M-21. <3 I love him lots, and this fic has him just right. :)
Never Give Up (Tegami Bachi, Vincent Alcott)
Minor character love! It took me a bit to remember who he was. It's been a while since I watched the first season. *g* But oh man, this piece, this piece makes me want to write. I am amazed at how much he was fleshed out here since he doesn't show up much at all in the series. I think I might be in love with this character now, and I am also very inspired by what he goes through here.
Since I was away all day on the 24th, I didn't get to check out the full prompts list for Madness. ): I tried to browse it at my brother's house, but it wasn't like I could write there! I'm still contemplating if I should furiously write a treat in the last few hours before Madness fics go live, but I've also been having doubts about my writing. :') But then, my lovely recipients have been so awesome and have left such nice comments already (it makes me want to write mooore for them), so I guess my writing isn't completely terrible?
I haven't managed to read much other fic yet outside of my gifts, but there are also two awesome Yoroshiku Master fics this year! Both about Rihito. *g* So my Yoroshiku Master craving has been sated (well, mostly). I just have my Oresama Teacher craving left. I suppose I'll have to attack that one day myself. ;)
Stuff about Yuletide that amused me #2: Two of my gifts are exactly the same length at 1092 words. *g* Must be a magical number!

Date: 2010-12-26 09:09 am (UTC)XD Ooooh jeez, when the archive went live, I had so. Many. Tabs open, it was unbelievable. I thought I might end up breaking my web browser if added another one (and then I did anyway).
Yey for gifts! \o/
I'm... eyeing another prompt on the master list. XDD; Actually, I think it might be two, but I can't remember what fandom the other one is. *facepalm* I'm going out today, but I have eight hours. I can so write something in that time!

Date: 2010-12-26 09:25 am (UTC)I currently have a bunch of tabs open, but I'm contemplating, read, or write? :'D If I read, I won't be stopping and writing will not happen. XD; My browser also seems like it's on the verge of crashing. My cursor kind of freezes for a long time before it'd be movable again. Maybe this means I should be closing some tabs, haha.
I still haven't looked at the master list of prompts completely. *shakes head* Maybe I shouldn't so I won't know what I missed out on writing. Eight hours! You could possibly write something in that time. :3

Date: 2010-12-27 07:30 am (UTC)XD Oh, it always gets scary when the browser starts freezing (I was like that every time I checked the master prompt list and tried to search for something. )
I wrote two things in that time! *can't believe it* Two different fandoms, and I hadn't planned out beforehand what I was going to write! XD;
no subject
Date: 2010-12-27 10:55 am (UTC)Man, you are on a writing spree. XD; Have you written anymore now that Madness is over?
no subject
Date: 2010-12-28 09:06 am (UTC)D: Oh, that sucks.
XDD Nope! I've been sort of... memorising the comments I've been getting, because they are so amazing.
I've also be catching up on the stuff I've been missing (caught up on the 1/2 Prince manhua, 1/2 Prince novel, a little bit of Sun Knight, and none so far of Noblesse. XDD). Soooo many plotbunnies I want to write already!

Date: 2010-12-29 03:28 am (UTC)Memorizing comments! *g* Well, I have been rereading the comments I've gotten since they make me smile a lot. ^___^ I have been commenting like crazy too because I don't think there are enough comments going around (my comments are getting less and less detailed though...), so I think my inbox might explode once reveals happen if most of the authors end up replying back. XD; This is making me reading go very slowly though, all the comment leaving. *g*
Yay for catching up! And aww to Noblesse. I need to catch up with Sun Knight. I see there've been quite a few updates! The last I read was the retirement chapter, I think.
