i am the cunning linguist

yeah so i went to anime boston and saw a bunch of awesome folks then i got sick but i'm mostly better and blah blah real update later

i'm curious what fandoms you guys share with me. i know a lot of them, but some of them i've mixed up or maybe didn't know about it at all :D so please fill out this sexy, sexy poll /dances

basically i count anything that i have seen enough of/paid enough attention to to be able to have some sort of discussion about it as a fandom, whether or not i participate in the fan community for it 8)

[Poll #1550464]

i only haven't listed things like battlestar galactica or buffy because i am sitll in the (slow) process of trying to watch them and am trying to avoid spoilers for the most part (more for BSG than buffy but i haven't seen enough of buffy yet :C)

eta: HAHAHA OH FUCK GUYS somehow i left pokémon off the poll by accident. derrrr. i can't edit the poll so uh. yeah. IF YOU LIKE POKÉMON RAISE YOUR HAND???

oh my god i forgot how much the polls bring out the bk fandom from the woodwork

I LOVE THIS FANDOM

I LOVE IT SO HARD

i think i'm going to do a BK friending meme this week. n-not that it's really necessary, most of the active members have this web of mutual friendery, but there are actually technically 60+ members on the comm (I DIDN'T EVEN KNOW THERE WERE THAT MANY PEOPLE LEFT IN FANDOM) so it's probs worth it :D

I'm making this entry public so that anyone who wants to direct this at someone not on my flist, they can. c:

Back when I wrote Even, I got a few really positive comments on the fight scene. I remember having some discussions specifically with squeakyorm and realnobiki, who both really loved the fight scene in that. I realized then that I really don't have the opportunity to write straight action scenes that often, and that I really enjoy them -- nothing but pure action and battle. It's really gratifying. And at that point I remember reading a complaint of a member of Naruto fandom -- "The romance and stuff is all nice, but where's the stuff in the spirit of the show? What about mission fics?"

So, I had this idea back then, but I never got around to doing it till now. I'd like to write a series of mission fics -- short fics, probably one- or two-shots -- that are centered pretty much around the mission. So, I'm taking prompts for missions. Anyone who has any suggestion at all is welcome to post it here. (Anonymous prompts are also allowed, since this post is public.) All's I need is a mission setup -- "body retrieval", etc. You can add as many or as few details in it as you want about how the mission goes; I promise I'll try my best to stick to all of them. (For the record, a mission with a medium amount of details is probably best. Too vague or too specific and it might be difficult. But it's up to you guys.) You can request character(s) for the mission too, but I can't promise I can write all of them. The characters I feel most comfortable writing are the adult cast, especially the minor cast -- particularly Izumo, Kotetsu, Genma, Raidou, Hayate, Yuugao, Aoba, et al.

You can request any kind of mission you like with any specifications. The more violent the better. I'll add violence as needed. c: And yes, you can give me more than one prompt per person.

So, please, give me some mission prompts! I'll turn them out as soon as possible. This should help me get my writing in gear, too c: Thanks, everyone♥
