"Unwanted Wings" has been a WIP for... several years now. Here is me attempting to write a shorter alternate version.

Fandom: Kamen Rider Kabuto
Rating: 8+
Alternate to episodes 20-21, and spoilers for same.
Summary: Kagami didn't want a partner after TheBee.

( Squeezing Lemons )

Maybe someone will remember reading this one.

It was part of a fanfic project/universe called "The Ordinary People" (I think), which told the stories of people with mutations in the X-men universe.

The story involved a woman that rarely spoke. She was going to a store, and she spoke for some reason, and the shopkeeper told a customer that he'd been waiting to hear her speak for a long time. Apparently she had the voice of an angel.

Does anyone remember this fic?

( Various ramblings )

Yes, I'm at DW. estirose. Just got mine last night so not much there except for a crossposted ficlet. (And I have no invite codes, but I am paid... for 2 months.)

Um. Can't think of a title, yet. But here's a Masao ficlet. Spoilers for Kiva 48.

( Masao rebels )

Here's a bit of Kiva fic. It has spoilers for episode 48 and is rated 8+.

Summary: Taiga will take care of his family's next generation.

( Everything is going to be all right )

Here's my entire first post, from August 1, 2003:

for a = 1 to 10
print "hello, world!"
next a

I had just bought my LJ account and was feeling geeky. It's a very simple BASIC program that prints "hello, world" ten times.

I tested out fanfiction.net's new crossover thing with a fic I wrote in Esperanto on the spur of the moment. It's... probably kind of bed, but since nobody can read it, well....

I can safely say that the crossover section itself doesn't make a language distinction, but individual sections do. Right now, if you click on Kamen Rider Crossovers, then Starman, you (will) get my fic, even if it is in Esperanto. I suspect if anybody else ever bothered to write an English-language one, the Starman section would revert to English. (In the "all crossovers" view, the default is English but you can choose to change to Esperanto, just like the main section.)

Once I archive the silly fic, I'll zap it off of ffn. Probably in a week or so. I'll have to see.

Here's part 3 of "To Dance The Dance", which is 13+ in rating. Mio/Wataru.

Summary: Mio knows loving humans is death. She does it anyway.

( Part 3 )

RP LOVE MEME

Dang, that was a lot of characters.

It's actually two very closely related issues. One has to do with sales of new and old WotC D&D PDFs, while the other has to do with previously purchased PDFs. All of this is through vendors.

( A bit of background on the issue )

( Previously purchased PDFs )

( Buying new Wotc PDFs )

( So, what's the controversy? )

( Theories being bandied about )

( EDIT: In which we discover that part of the problem, but not the major part of it, was miscommunication )

I'm going to make a rare public, English-language rant on this. Wizards of the Coast basically ordered companies selling WotC PDFs to stop selling them/making them available to people who bought them legitimately. Well, Paizo warned its customers in time but RPGNow/DrivethruRPG didn't, and guess who had PDFs through both sources?

(Oh, and I realize it's not WotC's fault that RPGN/DTRPG didn't send an email, but they should have given the companies more time so that they could have, so that customers could get their legit PDF copies.)

Wizards of the Coast has now practically given people a green light to pirate PDFs. Especially PDFs people bought *legitimately*. I can go to Pirate Bay and download my PDFs if I wanted to; heck, I could download 4E if I wanted to. I'll go for buying legitimately over pirating every time; were I not boycotting MPAA and RIAA, I'd be buying a lot of movies on DVD and buying songs on iTunes. (And maybe someday I can get my KRs on legit DVD too! That would be so good!)

( This is the email I would send them if I could find a bloody working email address )

( ETA a very lovely forum post with the same idea )

Part 2. I've had this written for a while, I just forgot to post it. Oops. It's currently rated 8+.

Summary: Mio knows loving humans is death. She does it anyway.

( Part 2 )

Here is the latest "Waxing Wildly", where I make some mutterings about my icons.

( Waxing Wildly 32 )

After a long wait, I got inspired to write Second Son part 6.

( Taiga visits Wataru )

I'm looking at doing Genderbend Big Bang, but I need a beta since they require one there. Or at least I suspect I'll need one because my genderbend is Kamen Rider Kiva and involves incest, which makes betas a bit scarce. If I don't do one of my Kiva OCs, a genderbent Ryoutarou/Den-o might be interesting.

I'll also need a beta in a while for Unofficial Police, my finishathon assignment....

I'm sick, I'm snuffly, but I'm writing again!

It's another installment in the "Sweet as Sweet Can Be" universe, set as Taiga's about 10 and Wataru's 8. Some spoilers for late (39+) Kiva, rated 8+.

( Patterns and fangs )

As a reminder, if you want to have a say in which story I'm concentrating on through April, you might want to check out the finish-a-thon voting here.

...I think I have a plot bunny for NaNoWriMo.

*hides*

Voting for finish-a-thon 2009 is up, and here's the poll post for mine. Note that if you are voting but not otherwise participating, you only get to choose one....

Here's another one of those fics that feature the AU characters of Decade. This time around, it's Mutsuki of the alternate Kamen Rider Blade world. It has a spoiler warning for episode 8, as well as generally for Blade starting early teens. 263 words.

Summary: Mutsuki has finally made it.

( Finally )

So, the finish-a-thon is almost upon us, and I'm trying to get my plot bunnies together.

I have three fics on my list (Unofficial Police, Second Son(?), and a partially-written "Apart from the Ocean" universe fic), but I'd like to put at least a fourth up for voting. Chances are that "Useless Things" will be finished shortly, so I'm not including it on my list.

Anybody got any others that they'd like me to offer up for voting? (More information at

multific for how finishathon works.)

Another fic in my version of

amazonstorm's Paradise Lost universe. Rated 8+

Summary: Taiga doesn't let them be themselves.

Just shortly:

I've hit over 50,000 words, 1/5th of the year's wordcount! Yay!

I wanted to review the entirety of Kamen Rider Blade, with a focus on Kenzaki. So here's 30 drabbles in his POV. The rating is 8+. Word count is 3000. Oh, and spoilers for the entire series.

Summary: Kenzaki goes through a lot in a year.

( A lot )

This 354-word fic is set some time after episode 19. It's rated 8+.

Summary: Ryoutarou likes putting up decorations.

( Decorations )

This is a Katie/Trip fic for

mariko_azrael. It's rated 8+ and is post-series. 755 words.

Summary: Trip's brother comes to town.

( Noble Calling )

A while ago,

amazonstorm gave me permission to write in her "Paradise Lost" universe. Apparently, my brain's been turning that over ever since, and finally gave me this fic. It's not quite set in her universe, but is kind of a "What if" off of her universe, in this case, "What if Taiga had other reasons for doing what he did?" Like the original universe, this is AU. And it's 8+, word count 3757.

Summary: Taiga keeps his baby brother safe because his baby brother insists on not being safe.

( The Smiling Illusion )

This is kind of meant for

scifisentai's birthday, except that I was hoping it would be... longer. It's Decade, Yuusuke/Tsukasa, some spoilers for episodes 4-5. Rated 8+

Summary: Tsukasa has a few rough spots, personality-wise.
Word count: 161

What Original Character(s) do you associate with me/find most memorable (and for bonus points, why?)

This is an AU that I've been playing around with. Since I've been word-warring for

( Protector )

I... don't know really how to list this without spoilering things. It has spoilers for Decade 4 and also for the entirety of Kiva. It's my theory on why certain things happen the way they do in the episode's universe. It really has more to do with the universe and less with the Decade storyline.

Title: Heal the Lonely Heart

Spoilers: Episode 4, Decade/Entire series, Kiva
Notes: See above. Tsukasa and the Decade characters do not appear. Happens prior to the events of episode 4.
