kitefullofkoi: Picture of Gokudera from Katekyo Hitman Reborn with a look of frustrated concentration. text: genius at work (khr: genius)
Not dead guys! Just very busy/stressed/frustrated. Between job1, job2, and schoolwork, my free time has been zapped down to maybe 9 hours on a free day, and 3 hours on full days (if I can stay awake that long. I tend to drop asleep after just an hour of free time). So online presence will be scattershot and wobbly.

cutting for those uninterested in RL rambles )

The tl;dr point of this post is that I’m short on free time. And I have way too many WIPs open.

So! A query for my lovely followers! (stealing some of this format from a meme I saw floating around, but never got involved in) I’m going to post some snippets from various fic(let)s I’m working on, and if you could poke me about the one you’re interested in most, I’ll try and finish that up first! :D
If you want, I can also post a longer snippet of whatever one you want! Also hoping that this pokes me into writing more.
(should I warn for un-beta-ness?)

Please Don’t Insist (TF fourshot) G1 First Aid/Prowl. 
There was a moment when First Aid wasn’t sure if Prowl was joking. )

Can’t Afford to Care
(TF oneshot/prequel) Deadlock/Ratchet.
These two fall down a hole during a battle. There are misunderstandings. Then porn. )

Faith
(TF fiveshot) BV Optimus Prime/Starscream.
In which Starscream is breaking, and Optimus is overly self-sacrificing and speaks before he thinks. )

Bondage Isn’t Free
(HP oneshot) Evan Rosier/multiple.
It’s based on a meme. And has lots of dark porn. )

Life as a Blonde
(HP multichapter)
Harry gets flung back in time into Draco’s body. )

Bonded Forever
(SHINee AU fic) Jonghyun/Taemin, past!Jonghyun/Key.
Jonghyun runs into Key again years after the other assassin saved his life. )

Okay. This is getting ridiculous.
I've been searching for about a week now in an attempt to find ANY Harry Potter crossovers involving Kpop/SHINee/DBSK/etc. and I haven't been able to find hardly anything! I've found only two things... a drabble and a crack!oneshot. T~T

Am I the only one interested in this?

So after spamming the Duskborn Community with new posts, my hands are finally tiring out. Plus, I'm wokring from my room, so my laptop is at like waist level and it's KILLING my wrists.

I worked a little bit on the new!Harry pic for Duskborn inbetween doing laundry and cleaning the kitchen (seriously, am I a maid on my days off or something?),and I finally finished the shading for his skin. It's a bit too gray yet, so I need to pull a Hue/Sat on it to goldenize it, but that won't take long. Then I just need to shade in the drapes, give him actual hair instead of a placeholder, and stick in some background elements, and it will FINALLY be done. x.x This picture has been killing me with the angles and the lighting.

In other news, I found a new manga series (only 4 chapters long so far) that is pretty interesting. I have no idea if it has been discontinued or what since there is noupdate schedule for it, but it's really cool from the 32 pages I've been able to read so far. This is the main point why having dial-up kills me sometimes. It has taken over 2 hours to read 32 pages. -______- Oh! It's called "Are You Alice?" btw. I have a little obsession with Alice in Wondderland and the Cheshire Cat, as Cait can tell you. That obsession has recently been brought back to life too with a new plot for an HP fic. ^^ I have all the details on my blogspot and won't bother repeating them here.
Anyways (got off topic real easily there...) what with dial-up taking forever, I've been saving each page image by image and will most likely bein doing several new icons for the series as I wait for the next page/chapter to load. It's got some pretty art.

I really wanna know if Go Comi! is going to release the next volume of Yggdrasil... DX I love that series. ♥

School sucks. Soooo bad. I have to go tomorrow and I most assuredly don't want to see my art teacher. She's so SENILE! Has she never heard of retirement? Luckily, what with all the ideas for fanart that I have and the fact that I'm one of her favorites (oh why must I talk back to her when she talks to me?!?), she lets me get by with most anything I want to do. As long as I follow the general guideline of the exercise, I'm good. And seriously, what can't you do when she says "do something with perspective"? Say hello to some new room drawings for my various fanfiction. I can't wait till she starts on eyes and noses and stuff. I'll be able to draw some more humanoid fanart then instead of the landscapes I've been doing.
She's also under the impression that I know how to do calligraphy. Why? o.O

So yesterday Caits and I actually sat down and planned when we were going to have all the new Duskborn chapters posted. It's still amazing how much work the two of us can get done when we actually try. XD We came up with the schedule, a new outline, fixed up some pairing glitches, titled the next twenty chapters, and generally worked like crazy and came up with a plan we can poke the other with when we fall behind. ^-^V
Inspired by the NaNo calendars, I sat down and made myself a new background with our update schedule on it. I then proceeded to make 11 more... XDD Don't you just love artistic inspiration.

I have also decided to join Caits in a 100 icon challenge. So now I get to go scour the web for brushes, bases, and fonts so I can get started. Most likely, we'll be posting parts of our batches to the Duskborn community as we go. We're also both too lazy to censor our work and make it non-spoiler, so feel free to watch for the icons and make guesses as to what will happen. XD
I have also surpassed the realm of fan obsesstivity (is that even a word? XD). I made a floor plan for Harry when he gets to Forks. ... Yes, I am that much of a nerd. But I would rather be a nerd than a jock who has no idea what a raver is. (true story, my fellow teammates asked what a raver was when I remarked that almost half of my friends were ravers)

I'm also making a FMA t-shirt that I hope to surprise Caits with tomorrow. Yay for side-projects and procrastination! ♥

So after nearly getting run over Tuesday, today's day of class wasn't that bad. It still sucked though. SUCKED. Luckily I remembered my cd player this time and I was able to drown out the stupidty that is my art teacher. During lunch break, I got to teach the new students how to do stuff since our teacher can't be bothered to stop preaching and just generally not explaining things to actually do anything. Like her JOB.

I drew two new pcitures for Duskborn though. ^^ A set of Esthre vampires and what shall eventually be Orion when I get around to finishing his robe. I even have a little side-story about the Orion picture. That may actually turn into a chapter if we get desperate enough. XD
Yesterday Cait and I finally went and saw New Moon for the first time (we were desperate, neither of us own the books and we needed some cute werewolves to play with). It was actually really good. Having a new director has really helped. I loved the camera angles and the pan shots. Much less like a Discovery channel special and more like an actual movie. The special effects were awesome too. Vamps are finally cool again. Except Edward, he still fails.
Jacob was amazingly cute though. X3 Back when I was a Twilight fan (back when it was orginally released), I was more of a Jacob fan anyway, and he definately lived up to my expectations. Cait and I both got distracted wacthing the raindrops fall off his ears, hair, and over his shoulders to notice some parts of the film, but well, anyone who has seen the movie can agree with up. XD
After the movie, during our normal critique/brainstorming session, we came up with the MOST AWESOMENESS IDEA EVA. But I can't tell you what it is yet. XP It'll show up in about twenty chapters in a certain house in Forks... This is just to let you guys know that we do actually plan this thing out, we don't just write whatever, whenever.
We still haven't paired Draco with anyone yet, but I have a few ideas. ~.^

Currently, I'm trying to  finish up the last four chapters of CinderAllen so I can focus on Duskborn and Caged Bird (which, yays, I actually have outlined but not written yet). Cross is being a drunk, and I still have to write a cute scene with Tyki/Allen. And considering I haven't done anything with DGM in months...this will be interesting. I have also lost my VHS player, so no watching Cinderella to see how the orginal story ends.

Sighs, off to write like 6 new chapters of fanfiction in five hours. Fangirl gods help me.
