Topic: At what point did you start liking ZoLu?
I acutually didn't like the idea of YAOI until i read MANY fanfics of this couple and fell for it. And even then i had to read a lot. And i still don't like other YAOI couples really. Just this one. A lot. But i'm sure more will grow on me.

When i went through and watched the series again, the ZoLu was so much more obvious. Expecially on Zoro's part. Luffy's really too innocent for us to know what he feels, but Zoro's like an open book. A lazy one. :) They're first fight when Luffy finally got Zoro untied was perfectly coordinated, and they clicked so well! Yiii~!

And then in Buggy's arc it became obvious to me, too, because they could read eachother's thoughts perfectly. It was really fun. and cute. But then i always think Luffy is cute...

I think Zoro is obviously gay, and Luffy doesn't care one way or another. But then when Alvida showed up all pretty when Luffy was on the executioner's block in louge town, he had no interest in her at all. Even before he knew who she was and every other guy was fainting, he just looked grossed out. So there's a hint...

I'll tell you which couple i think is just funny. Zoro X Sanji. Every time i read one of those fics i laugh. It's just so funny how they argue and try to have a relationship all at once.

Hmm... For me I started liking Yaoi about a year or so back (I stumbled across a Sirius/Remus MWPP-era fic. I thought it was a friendship one. The Fluff ate my brains. I've never recovered. Before that the shonen-ai/yaoi idea kind of disturbed me ^^;) and ever since I've been pairing up everyone and everything now that the gender-boundries no longer exsist in my mind.

So, about ZoLu... I have to say that I saw the possibility of pairing them together after reading a bit of the manga and watching some of the anime. They can work as extremely close friends or lovers wonderfully, although it really depends on the writer...

Your story/ies (because I am definitely going to read all of your stories) have made a huge impression on how much I love this pairing. Although it is still not one of my all-time favourites I am positive I will read more on them in the future. And /then/ become obsessed with them. lol.

Oh yes, and thanks to you I am probably going to go through a 'One Piece' phase and read about a million stories for it... (That's not a bad thing though XD). By reading so much fanfiction I have found that my writing skills have increased immensely, just because when I read a story and don't like what I see, I'll note what I don't like about it and not do the same thing! ^_^

Hmm... if you are looking for any more intriguing and mysterious characters you should read 'Tsubasa RESERvoir Chronicles'... there is an MSN group for it that has all the up-to-date scanlations for it. It is interesting at the beginning, but in the last few volumes it is just AMAZING. The character Fay/Fai/Fye (there are a billion different spellings for his name) is marvelous. He's so /damaged/ and non of us know why yet... Then there is Kurogane, who despite appearances really does care about Fai, even if the blond DOES annoy him half to death.

Lol, sorry, just felt the need to pimp my current fandom~

Keep on writing!

(Thank-you for your response to my review! It was lovely! The character backgrounds just made my day! So thank-you SO MUCH! I know understand Robin a bit more ^^ The information about Chopper was greatly appreciated as well :])

Actually, I was quite a bit like TreeStar in this respect. I actually honestly hated yaoi for the longest time, and only after a few years on FF.net did I tolerate it. I never really expected to actually like it...until One Piece came along, anyway.

I started out as a LuNa fan, but no matter how much I tried to mentally convince myself of the pairing, something didn't seem right. I found myself more drawn towards the relationship between Luffy and Zoro. I loved it to death. Zoro's so immensely loyal to Luffy, so incrediably different with him than anyone else. You can just see it, the way they seem to understand each other, the way their relationship doesn't require words. When everyone else is baffled by the things Luffy does, Zoro's already got it all figured out what's going on in his captain's head. I know that technically Zoro's place on the ship is "Swordsman" ...but really, he's the first mate, and everyone knows it. You know if Luffy ever needs anyone, Zoro's his man.

So I saw this and I'm like "Er...right they're really close. As FRIENDS. ...Really." But even as I thought this, the mental image of them as a couple wouldn't leave me alone. I kept clinging to the insistance that they were just friends for awhile...and then I started reading fics and it just hit me.

Since then, ZoLu has been my main OTP for a year and a half. X3 I do like a few other yaoi pairings, but like ZoLu they have to feel canon to me. They have to be IC, there has to be more to it than just "WOMG TWO HOT GUYS SNOGGING", which is basically what ZoSan is. In all honestly I completely loathe ZoSan with a burning passion. I just...gaaaaah, I hate it! It's so OOC. Maybe as a one-night stand it works, but other than that....no. They're just tough buddies, though I can see them having some -very- rough sex to relieve tension since both don't seem to be getting any from their objects of affection (Luffy and Nami).

Er...yeah. Since then I admit I've become a yaoi lover...can't be helped. I mean, Kurogane/Fai from Tsubasa is so freaking adorable. Fai's so damaged and you can tell Kurogane really cares for him, in spite of all his gruffness. And of course there's also Gankutsuou, which has -canon proof- that Franz has a crush on Albert...

I could babble on and on about that, but this is a ZoLu forum, so I'll shut up. XD

Er...yeah, that's my story. Huzzah or something.

Now, see what Ametris said about the first time she stumbled into a Remus/Siruis fic... That was me the first time i came into the one piece section on this site.

I watched the series through 190 or something in one go, and then thought 'i bet there's some GREAT fanfics on this show' (i waited to finish what was out because i didn't want to hit spoilers. I tried to come in and read before reaching alabasta in the anime, and i was all: older brother? what older brother? Luffy's got a brother? Who's chopper?

So that didn't work.

Anyway, there was ZoLu and ZoSan all over the place and i thought, what is the MATTER with these people? are they all on pills?

But since there was a total lack of much else, i read a few 'everybody's in them' nakama fics that had a little ZoLu emphasis. Then i read a book called Pirate Hunter: the true story of Captain Kidd (it's a bestselling histroical novel right now) and that book laid out what a pirate's life was really like. Sodomy was three times more likely on a ship than it is in prison now, and the sailor's life was the one of choice if one was homosexual or Bi.

It also described ship riggings and how battles were decided and how shares were divided and what different colors meant on the sea (red is the color of the Jolly Rouge and if that color was flying, it meant to another ship that they were so screwed now. Black was a warning to leave. A green flag meant 'neutral unless disturbed', so the ship wouldn't attack unless another made the first move, and if they did, the red flag would go up REAL fast. white was surrender, most pirate ships didn't even carry a white flag... Etc.) I like how Luffy always wears red and Zoro wears green.

Anyway, with the facts laid out plain as day, it was easy to accept. Plus i know some gay guys and they're so sweet! and they have better relationships than most straight people do, because they're love is up against a lot of critisism and scorn, and they've broken through boundaries together despite it all. It's rather romantic, really. In the literary sense.

Plus the captain first-mate connection is hot. :p

I could not even handle ZoSan because i honestly don't see intimate chemistry. I can't see them kissing under a beautiful sunset or confessing their most intimate desires for each other. And i've even read their doujinshi and seen pictures, but they're just...wrong to me. (It's a good thing this is a ZoLu forum...)

Oh, my goodness. I remember the days of 'No! I might encounter a SPOILER!', but after a while I noticed that many of the good writers (well, most of them in the fandoms I follow) keep up with the lastest Japanese release of the anime/manga and therefore if I wanted to read the better fics out there I would encounter spoilers and thus... I have one heck of a time keeping up with everything ^^;

Yes! I was probably about twelve-ish when I stumbled upon fanfiction... and there was slash EVERYWHERE. As the authoress 'Slashapalooza' says "Everywhere you go it's slash this, slash that. There isn't a single fandom without slash in it. It's a freakin' slashapalooza!" or something to that effect. No wonder I was 'corrupted', lol.

Thank goodness my parents don't know the meaning of 'Yaoi', otherwise my 'Y/A/O/I. My Antidrug' shirt would probably not be allowed in my wardrobe.

Then again, I have a pair of jeans I drew FujiRyo all over. Two guys making out on your ** is one way to put people on edge XD (Although my cousin was like "Eww... They look like they're kissing! That's gross!" "Oh, do they? Would it be grosser if they were both guys?" "O___O" ... hah. Poor kid. Doesn't stand a chance XD) And my parents didn't care that much. Although that was AFTER they found out I had a bunch of gay/bisexual friends and was in the Gay/Straight Alliance.

I eased them into the idea ^_~ So now my homosexual friends don't disturb them as much ^^

Oh my, I've strayed from my original intent for this post.

Wow! This book is called 'Pirate Hunter'? It sounds very interesting! I've always loved history, but the way the history books are written... In what manner is it written? And do you recall who it is by? I would love to check it out ^^

P.S *laughs* That was the first time I've ever been referred to as 'Ametris' in a post of any sort! It was very refreshing ^^ Oh! And you said you were getting surgery? I was wondering - if it's not too rude of me -- what it would be for? I sincerely hope it isn't for anything too serious!

#10 Jul 18th 2006, 7:33pm

Yeah! i have it right here. It's written by Richard Zacks and according to the cover, it won the "Time Magazine Best Book of 2002" award. It's very good. See Captain Kidd was originally a Parate Hunter, and he set sail on the Adventure Galley on the east coast of america, gathering about 200 men here and there, and eventually ended up with three ships i think, and then the English government that had sent him to stop the pirates bombed an american port on addicent or something and blamed it on Kidd, so Kidd became the most wanted Pirate on the seas. he's the only pirate rumored to have buried his treasure. :)

It's a good book, and very openly discriptive about every detail imaginable. Even how pirates were identified in a final way by whether or not they were circumcised, because circumsision was very uncommon for pirates. When i pirate was captured, he was circumsised to mark him, so if he escaped and got recaptured (which happened all the time apparently), they could identify him by his scar. The book opens with the law identifying someone that way to give the reader a glimpse of why a pirate REALLY didn't want to get caught, just days before Kidd sets sail. So it's a very for real story. But it's not grotesque. it's reads like a college history book, only more interesting and descriptive and focused. it does tell an adventure, but it tells the untold facts about piracy that people don't know about anymore. There was so much! It explains everything from how punishments were given to what rules were set on a ship, to how the captain managed so many men without getting caught up in a mutiny, to personality types to the way battles between ships went and how deals were struck, and how port towns loved pirates because of all the money and parties they brought with them.

It's really educational. i reccomend it to anyone who watches one piece. especially if they want to write a chapter fic with them in it. It actually tells how the men got along and how relationships developed. Captain Kidd himself had a thing going on with his first quarter master. Pirate captain's got to declare what hours sex was allowed on their ship, and he had first dibs on any prisoner. It really opens your mind in that regard, because it's spoken of so casually like its just so natural for there to be sex going on around the boat. especially after a battle, because how else were they supposed to relieve tension?

Wow. That sounds like such an amazing book! Is it very hard to come by?

Oh! And I have been thoroughly enjoying chatting with you! Would you like to keep in touch through email? Considering I never knew ff.net had forums before, I am thinking that that would be an easier way to keep in touch ^^;

My email is: ametris@hotmail.com

Pretty simple~

So college texts are much more interesting than high school texts, I'm assuming? (Hoping would be a better term to use here considering med. school is going to consist of many many years of reading x_x) Hmm... also more expensive... my brother is going to college this year (and I am going to be in Brasil! Yay for the wonders of Exchange scholarships! Once I graduate I'm going for another scholarship to Japan ^_~ Gotta get the travelling done before I'm stuck in University)

I just remembered... you're studying psychology, right? I find it so utterly fascinating *__* Trying to understand why people do the things they do~ I like piecing together behavioral clues with book/manga characters! It is so much fun! ^^ My current puzzle is one Fai D. Flourite/Flowright *sighs* Such a mystery~

Well, my major is english. But i've taken several phych classes, because they're neat. I'll probably end up getting a minor in it without realizing it...

I'd love to talk in email. :) I'm at treasure.cove@hotmail.com. My internet is insane. it hasn't been connecting normally starting yesterday. It's annoying...

College books are a fortune. Seriously they're insane. I just signed up for classes yesterday. i'm taking 2 intensive writing courses that i don't want to take together, but my fiction class filled up with seniors so i couldn't take it instead. and i've got a roman/pagan class about rituals and sacrifices and religion and their way of life that should be SO COOL. i'm taking it entirly for story inspiration, because an AU one piece story set in that universe would be so cool. But i've got to educate myself before i can write it, or it won't be real...

Pirate Hunter is so easy to come by. It's in every bookstore around. Where are you at? In america? Then it's really easy to find. Mine's a paperback and it costed me... let's see... Oh, $15.95. that's actually expensive for a book... but have a parent buy it for you and say it's for your personal growth or something. :) or buy it used or from a private amazon.com seller. they'll have it for like 2 bucks.

Ack! I've got take my brother to the movies right now, but i'll be back in about 30 minutes, so if you are still around, we can keep talking! yay! this is fun. I never get to chat online, so i'm really liking this.

All those classes just... urgh! I am so jealous! I wish there were High School courses like that. I might look into seeing if one of the (gosh, I think there are about 5 in my province) Universities around me offer anything...

(I would totally read an AU story from that universe.

Makes me want to write a few one-shots now ^^; lol. If I wanted to do an AU story I think I would use Tsubasa R.C. [yay for obsessiveness caused by stress!] since it is all about universe hopping anyway *waves hand* CLAMP has some pretty neat plots planned out. Crossover genius too.)

I sent you an email! So be sure to check the junk mail if you don't get one. It should be labelled as being sent by 'Rennie Haverstock' (my penname).

I've never used amazon.com. The only internet site I use is Ebay XD And that is because I am a retard X3;

Cheap books = good. I shall look into it tom-- after I sleep some.

Which will be after I re-read a Tactics fanfic!

(I still haven't read your other fics! :O! That was my plan today too! Shoot! T_T;)

There are a ton of cool classes to take in college, and you can plan your own schedule. i'll only be going two days a week this semester. :)

So that's great for gas and bad for homework. Last semester i got to take a puzzle solving class where they literally taught you how to solve puzzles. not a rubix cube, but some neat ones. it's supposed to help you think differently. or something. anyway it was fun, but the final was hard. i'm sure you can imagine.

I pulled 6 As last semester grade wise. it almost killed me.

I hope i get into the one literature class on modern comedies. that would be neat... but it's on the wrong day so we'll see. they won't let me take more than 17 units because i did 18 last time. (which is suicidal. unless you're a total nerd who has nothign but an inept obsession with taking classes that look fascinating like 'Paganism in the Ancient Roman World' and 'Magic, Witchcraft, and Religion' (which really should be re-named 'indians and the spirit world' or something, because it's false adveritizing i think) then don't take more than 15 units (or credits) a semester max. 12 is actually ideal for stress management.

I'm not too big on Tsubasa. i read it, but i don't know. CLAMP has to work hard to stay in my good graces because they're a little strange sometimes. My first anime ever was Cardcaptor Sakura, though. i'll always love it. taught me my first 1000 japanese words by listening. when i started watching anime, no one had a DVD player and CCS was only half way done in japan. Subtitled anime was a dream back then, so you had to learn it leave it. That's one thing that's nice about starting with a CLAMP story. they use the same basic words over and over and over so you can really learn the basics of sentence structure after several episodes. :)

I love Ebay. I get all my one piece on dvds on ebay. The subs suck, but i don't turn them on anyway. I don't like to watch anime anymore if i can't turn the subs off and watch it narutally, that's why i can't download the epies and watch them (that and i use dial-up internet an dit takes 2 weeks to get a single episode...).

lol, I signed up for my grade eleven courses and was so mad at the counselors for forcing a free class on me. Not that I'm gonna be there anyway... (I signed up for all advanced courses so I would seem smart XD But I would've taken them even if I wasn't)

A puzzle solving class? That sounds fun ^^ And yes, I can imagine the final would be horrible.

I have no idea what my report was this year because I slept through the day we were to pick them up XD They gave us a week off and expected us to go to school on time? Psshaw!

Magic, Witchcraft and Relgion? Man, that DOES sound cool. Indians and the Spirit World... not so much ~_~;

Hehe, ever read 'The Sorcerer's Companion'? It gives all the legends and backstory to most of the supernatural stuff used in the Harry Potter novels :} It's relatively thick, but very interesting so it is a very quick read.

Hehe, I still have 2 years of high school (3 if I go to Japan) left to go before I need to worry about units/credits etc. for a while.

I wasn't huge on Tsubasa R.C. at first. I just loved seeing my beloved CCS characters again ^^ Then I kept buying it for the pretty artwork and fun characters. And NOW, in recent chapters... I am just like asdjahsdljasdhlaksjhd WOW. It's gotten to the good stuff now ^__~ but different genres for different people, I suppose ^^ I'm pretty much all over the place in my likes. If it is well-written and not boring then I'll read it. If I'm in the mood for it.

Cardcaptor Sakura was good times.

I am still trying to learn Japanese, but it is so difficult for me! I have the basic sentence structure down but more complex ones are beyond me. I am horrible XD But the grammar book was really interesting (to me). After reading Japanese Grammar in class I moved on to 'Portugese for Dummies' which earned me a few "God, Steph! What language AREN'T you going to learn?" and "You should learn Chinese. It is the language of the future."

*sighs* Language is not very appreciated in my school. I drool over it while my friends are like '*dead*'

I buy mostly collectible stuff and clothing/accessories off of ebay. I got two very high quality Mokona Plushies (limited edition too, because there aren't any more being sold) that I absolutely ADORE. I also got some lovely (and cheap) opal earring and a comfortable FILA sweatshirt ^^

Did you get the email I sent you? I spent like 10 mins writing it XD Oh, and I'm going to go to bed in about 15-30 mins since it is almost 2am now X3; ehehe

HAHHAHAA! You got divebombed by a bird? I'm sorry, that's not funny but at the same time it's hysterical. I got the funniest visual. I've never been bombed by a bird. I've been bombed by a bat!

That was fun. but i like bats. i think they're cool. :)

Now don't get all excited thinking Pirate Hunter is the worlds best book or anything. it's just really fascinating background information and it's as historically accurate as possible, so that just makes it neater. but it's not a super easy read or anything. it does require a little knowledge about the status of the world back in the 14 hundreds or whenever it was... mostly just which countries were at odds with which and where alliances were. Well, it's not required, but it makes it easier.

A birthday! A birthday! YAY! I love birthdays! how old? I turned 23 in May (but age isn't very important i think because people that like anime are all kind of their own group of personality type regardless of age. There could be a 40 year old into anime on here and she'd fit in just fine. :)

A SPIDER? I hate spiders. but i can top you. 2 weeks ago, there was the world's biggest centipede on by blanket. i have centiphobia. (and, no, that's NOT fear of the metric system). i will not sleep if there's one in my house and i know about it. So i had to kill it and change my sheets because i could barely bring myself to touch the bed afterward (seriously, it's bad. most bugs a can handle, and scorpions are just cool. but centipedes actually make me shake.) it's irrational. i know.

Lol. I think I can top the centipede one. Once, while I was reading, an earwig crawled across my pillow and onto my face. And once I found an earwig in my STRAW. X_X

hehe, I never thought it would be an easy read~ I just love historical stuff, and it's gotten to the point where most documentaries on the telly are repeats for me. So, books are good ^^ If it is a tough read -- even better! It will keep me busy for a good chunk of my plane ride ^__^-

Irrational fear is my fear of ocean water. I love pools and stuff... but the ocean? Psshaw! No way! I mean, the SEAWEED for God's sake! *cringe* Which means that I am more of a seaweedaphobe than anything else I guess... bah. Jellyfish are creepy too @_@

Hello again! Good morning to you then~

Ehehe. I'm not scared of sharks so much as seaweed because I am just weird. And because sharks only attack you if they smell blood and don't attack too too close to shore and if you are splashing and stuff.

Have you ever seen the footage of that woman who's leg got bitten off by a shark? You can /hear/ the pop as her knee is torn off, along with everything below it.

Makes me wonder if I should be scared of sharks.

Beh.

Naw. Seaweed still scares me worse. And Jellyfish.

i think they're nicknamed jellyfish just because they're see through and squshy. my brother and i found a dead one washed up intact one day in HalfMoon Bay. that was cool. until we tried to touch it. Luckily daddy was there, so yeah... he stopped us

I have the greatest logic about sharks. if i don't go into theh ocean, they PROBABLY won't eat me! Isn't that ever so terribly clever? :)

Actually i don't really think about them as much as the other things that could be under me. like... seals for some reason. if a big old seal popped up next to me, that would be cool. unless it was MAD. see then it wouldn't be cool anymore. Tiger sharks the big thing here to watch for. they live in the reefs and thrash you around a lot. there are great whites too, but only if you're a sufrer.

I saw that on sharkweek! that girl, i mean. That was graphic. in australia, so now we know why haveing a loud swim party in great white breeding shores in summer is not clever.

If you've watched more real footage about normal nature, sharks just kinda circle for a while. then they bump you to see if you're dangerous. THEN they attack. and i just realised that i just described the opening scene of JAWS. ...oops. But that was a movie. usually in real life if you're un interesting, they get bored, right?

Hey, how to scientists know that people don't taste good to sharks?

Oh! Sharkweek! I /LOVE/ Sharkweek! (and jellyfish are called jelly fish 'cause they look like jelly/o. my camp counselor a couple years back lifted a J.F up with a paddle, tossed it up and smashed it like a baseball. it exploded into hundreds of teeny weeny J.F. Coolest thing EVAR). I wonder when the next Sharkweek is going to be...? Hmm...

I absolutely ADORED that video. It was gruesome, but oh-so-educational! It honestly has taught the world a lot more about what and what not to do when a shark is involved.

Lol, I am on the complete opposite coast from you! We don't really have to worry too much about sharks. It's too cold for them or something XD (or polluted, 'cause Halifax Harbour is /retarded/)

Sharks are wonderful. They only really attack if provoked or insane or just starving. Annddd... I would imagine our flesh would taste horrible to a shark because of all of the preservatives and crap put into our food nowadays.

if you dont get in the ocean they wont eat me huh?

*gasp!* i've never thought of that before! wow....hmmmm...for all scientists know....we taste like chiken.

hmmm. ihave never heard of shark week...i guess i should start watching. lol youre lucky you live by a coast....i live near a freakin lake T_T hmmmmm yea humans probably do taste nasty.....but....do sharks even have taste buds? 0_o

All animals have taste buds (well, almost all, I think) [omg an ant was just on my arm x_X and a fly just divebombed me XD]. Rabbits, for instance, have 10000 more taste buds than humans. XD Soo... by that reasoning, sharks could also have a heightened sense of taste.

I mean, scent and taste are intertwined and sharks can smell like, one one-thousanth of a drop of blood from like, a kilometre away or something weird like that.

XD

No doubt /I/ would taste nasty at least. What with all my alcoholic-ish face wipes to rid my face of yicky exercise sweat XD heeh

#34 Jul 19th 2006, 8:26pm
shinigami11
really...all animals?...cause i dont think my dog has taste buds...he will eat ANYTHING. yea you do have a point with shraks smelling blood...they must think it tastes good otherwise....i guess they wouldnt have anyother reason to attack you...right? ewww..i hate ants! hahaha youre lucky you just got divebomed by a fly. i hate haveing to use those face wipes _ so i told my mom i didnt want to use them anymore and she went and bought this pore cleaning stuff....it is blue...and it stings!

What we do for the sake of clear skin *sighs*

Dogs don't count. They're taste buds are probably so refined that poop most likely tastes like whatever it was that the person ate X3

...eww.

Bah. I am heading offline now. I've been staying up far too late for too many days in a row now... I've been feeling really sick because of it @_@;

HAHAHA! okay, i have like, a billion things to answer to, so here we go:

If sharks really do have tastebuds then they must just be REALLY stupid. i mean, who eats a license plate? (besides Luffy...)

Ametris, i got your email and keep meaning to write back, but i keep forgetting. blame the medicine. i had my surgery. It went okay. My knee is full of stitches. anyway, my point is that you have more bug encounters than anyone i have ever met in my whole life. :) You poor girl! and i love your pandora's box idea. seriously. it sounds amazing.

and... um... well shoot, i guess that was it...

Oh god, please don't base my writing on Foolproof. i'm so embarrassed i think i'll take it down. seriously. no one is even reading it, which is good, i guess. read my other stuff! that stuff's better. read 'The sleeper' and 'Merry go round' and 'coral reef'. i actually like those.

And someone read my Flood of Moonlight fic sometime. it was my first attempt at symbolism and i don't think it's so bad, but since it's not a ZoLu no one ever reads it... I really wanted people to tell me what they thought about that one... I'm actually self-conscious about THAT one. Not RUMBLE! well, not anymore...

Oi, you shush about "Foolproof", -I- liked it! Am I no one now!? _O My -good- writing isn't as good as that, so you hush.

Lol. True, true. Comparing Luffy to a Shark? That that me giggle XD

It's okay! I know what it's like being drugged up. I was given some pretty heavy drugs for my wisdom teeth surgery things this year X3 ehehe. Then my mouth go infected and I had to get put on Diloted (sp?), anyhoo THAT stuff is like WHOA. I was in a middle of an english presentation and Mr. Drohan asked me how my surgery went and I was like 'awsome! they gave me some kick ** drugs!' and he was like 'really? what kind?' and then we started discussing which painkillers were the best until the class was like 'wtf?' XD

Hehe, thanks! I've been working on Pandora for AGES, getting the idea all smoothed out. Now I am planning fanfiction stories to practise my writing style and skills so I don't maim my wonderful idea~ And I also have worked out some of the problems with the Pandemonium idea (with Remiel and Azrael). I only just noticed how one story had Remus and Artemis for the leads and the other had Remiel and Azrael (lol, Remiel/Remus, Artemis/Azrael? They sound so alike X3). I didn't even do it on purpose! Now if I link the stories to each other it will be weird XP I might have to change Remiel's name to Sora (which I so totally worked out in my head. hehe. he could be ADOPTED and therefore have a different name X33;;;)

Okayy~ Yah. I am kinda sick as well, so I might be sounding a bit crazy~

Oh! My Mum is really intrigued by the Pirate Hunter book, she is trying to get it for me! And both of my parents listened with wide eyes as I recounted your brief synopsis of 'The Lovely Bones'~ ehehe. Score 2 for me ^_~

I haven't read Foolproof yet! (I dun think Oo;) I probably have been meaning to~ I just got distracted by Digitaldreamer's stuff XD hehe. I'm reading Tangled Web right now :}

I don't remember the names, really, of the stuff you've written that I've read -- but I HAVE read Coral Reef and loved it~ I dunno if I reviewed it though ~_~; I'm horrible for reviewing~

ANYHOO! My Mum is laughing at your drugged-up prediciment right now, as she can empathize completely (having knee surgery once herself) so like, yah. XD. Being drugged up is better than angsting in pain ;_; lol.

Hope you're feeling better ^____________^-

btw, I dunno what it is with me and bugs. It is just weird. Last night a fly kept buzzing around my hair and trying to land in it. Took me an hour to shoo it away. It was a very unabashed fly. T_T; It was taking refuge on my manga X3; Lol. Payback for all the ant torture I did when I was a kid, I suppose. Syringes + Ants = Fun. Magnifying Glass + Sun + Ants = Fun.

Damn. I was a weird kid XDD;;

ARGH DON'T READ MY WORK IT'S TERRIBLE! *Twitches* X_x Like, the only semi-good thing is Tangled Web and that's because I only wrote half of it!

...okay, yeah, I'm done.

Dude, comparing Luffy to a shark makes me giggle, but for different reasons. Since you know, Oda says Zoro most resembles a shark...

And I hope you're feeling better Treestar~! Perhaps I'll try drawing some fanart to speed along the healing process, hehe.

And...Ametris, you sound like you were AWESOME as a kid. XD Me, I ran around pretending to be Godzilla, smashing block towers and roaring. After that I'd go draw scribbles of monsters. I was an odd child.

hmmmmm......i have never had surgery in my life so i have no idea what it is like to be drugged up.....is it fun? hahahaha. i dont think i have read fool proof yet either! *gasp!* i will have to do that today. ......syringe...and...ants?....wow...haha i still torture bugs sometimes if i get really board....does that make me weird? 0_o at least i'm not like my big sister....when she was little she took a syringe to a turtle T_T

i dont know what you are talking about digitaldreamer. i like youre work! realy? zoro is supposed to look like a shrak?...i have never heard that before but now that you mention it....yea i think he kinda resembles one. hahaha you pretended to be godzila when you were little? yyyeeeaaa you sound like you were kinda odd...but fun at the same time ^_^
#44 Jul 21st 2006, 4:09pm

lol! Now that you say that... Zoro does remind me of a shark XD hehe!

I think your work is good D.D.! There are a few mistakes (like a missing word or two) in some of them~ but yeah, I am reading Tangled Web right now and it is making me grin every two second~ ^^

You pretended to be Godzilla? I pretended to be Sailor Scouts or Power Rangers or Pokemon. I remember my friend and I pretended we could see Pokemon and would be like 'look! there is a vaporeon! let us catch it!' ... apparently I was really bossy and nitpicky with my friend though. 'Omg Patricia! That isn't a good pokemon! What? A /Charizard/?! That's not what it is! It's an Oddish for goodness sake!'

XDD

I don't like to torture bugs anymore. I hate squishing them. And if I squish one partially by accident I will mercy kill it X3 ehehe... I just imagine what it would be like if /I/ were the bug I was killing and then I am like '*glare* Okay. You can live. Just leave me alone.'

Urgh! I wanna write a Tsubasa R.C. story~ I have an idea planned out, but I read chaptire 122 and now my theory is like 1/2 wrong T_T;;; I have another theory though.. but I am going to ignore it and just make a story that people can fit in wherever they want. Bah. Once this arc is over I'll write a good fic :} (Urgh! I hate getting story inspirations in the middle of a manga arc! It is horrible XP)

Hmm... I can't remember if there is anything else I have to respond to... so...

What are everyones' 'Series of the Moment'? I am hooked on pretty much anything CLAMP (yay for CLAMP phases!), Whistle!, One Piece, and... Prince of Tennis. PoT is Crack. Oh! And D. Grey Man!

Any of you heard of D.Grey Man? It's fandom is so small ;A; ...But it is still bigger than Whistle!'s!

^__^

Oooooh! Bleach is awsome! I have fallen out of Bleach and Naruto for a while though... I really haven't been keeping up with the manga, and so am not very far in Bleach ;_; I am on chapter 265 of Naruto though ^^ I really should catch up *sigh*
#47 Jul 21st 2006, 7:32pm
shinigami11
oh man...i havent read or watched naruto in forever! i really should start at least reading the manga again i guess....and i hate to say it but i am kinda know falling behind on bleach...and i have stoped watching it for know cause i hate the fillers. and i have started falling behind on the manga because i have been to busy watching one piece or re-reading chapters of it.
#48 Jul 21st 2006, 7:47pm

XD What's also interesting is in the manga around when Luffy and Zoro meet, one of the colorspreads shows Luffy riding on a shark. Subtle hint towards ZoLu, maybe? XD

Blaaah, you lie! My work is terrible, terrible!

Ha, I played pokemon with my friends too. X3 Except we'd usually be the actual pokemon. I was always Mew and my friend was always Mewtwo, it was great fun.

I always feel bad squishing bugs. ;_; But my little sister hates them, so if she sees one she freaks out and makes ME squish it. Ugh...whenever I see one I just kind of shoo it away to make sure my sister doesn't see it and make me squish it.

Man, I should check out the Tsubasa fanfic section...but I'm so busy...blah, still need to work on my OP fics....

My series of the moment? Well, I too love anything CLAMP, and I follow all the manga in the english version of Shonen Jump. I'm also becoming rather addicted to Nana and Godchild from Shojo Beat. One Piece is of course, my ultimate fandom. I'm also currently rather addicted to Gankutsuou, which is an anime spin-off of the Count of Monte Cristo. I can honestly say it's the greatest anime I've ever seen, I recommend it to ANYONE, it's plot is engrossing, it's characters are all well-fleshed out, pacing's perfect, the art is original, I love it to death. Yuuuus, Gankutsuou, my precious...

Kingdom Hearts is another fandom I'm into...mmm, KH2~!
