Despair

Fanfiction recs and commentary

It seems to me than any written long series that I read has similar content. Am I just selectively living out the same fantasy over and over and over again?

Fox_in_exile's Mikami/Raito Triology
Anything Samurai Champloo By: Laura Bryannan
Nightmare Game By: SisterWicked
In Company of Shadows By: Sonny&Ais
Aceilux By: Wyna Hiros
Illuminating Heaven By: sub-textual
The Administration Series By: Manna
The Human Condition by: jfinn
The Burning Time By: Misora

In additional comparison, manga I find appealing: Kuroshitsuji, Tyrant Who Falls in love, Crimson Spell, Vassalord, Canterella, Loveless, Blood+, Godchild, yami no matsui... In addition I'm obsessed with Animamundi and adored Poppy Z Brite's Exquisite Corpse.

I'm borderlining guro fetish, idolizing the byronic hero, increasingly interested in inversion of the hero story, and attracted to both dominant males yet want men to be subservant to women/some higher power. I am really turning down a satanic-looking literary path.




Also, lately I've been making but not sharing; starting but not finishing; planning but not doing. I'm back up with so much content I'm not sure where to begin. Not to mention I've hit a terrible writer's block so pyrexia and tattoo progress are completely halted. I'm just conjested with so much work to do that I don't have the will power for at the moment. Thank god for drunk duck's auto updater for Queen of Hearts or I would just give up an upload 20 pages at one time, but then not update until six months later.

to zoe: The only thing I can say is that the red wall illustrations are almost done.

The Best Mikami/Raito Fanfiction Ever Written

I'm only posting this for backup purposes. I did not write this wonderful piece of fanfiction. It was written by a lady named fox_in_exile who recently deleted her livejournal account but didn't post this anywhere else that I'm aware of. So here it is, please let me know if you are fox-in-exile and would like me to delete it off my journal, or if you know where her work is posted outside of LJ.

Once again, I'm only posting this out of my love for these following words. This is the best death note fanfiction that I ever read. I'm only backing this up so others can read and enjoy her work.

WARNING this Contains Adult content: Mikami/Raito, Raito/Mikami, Mikami/Near, and Near+Mello.

Generators


Inspiration doesn't always come when you feel like writing the most. I'll get in a mood where I feel the need to create something and poetry is singing in my head but I'm unsure where to focus my creative energies. Frustrated, I'll turn to mythology and other nonfiction books in hopes of triggering some kind of scenario in my head but often research like this and attempts to plot something extravagent, ground-breaking, and meaningful kills the buzz. I find randomizers like these very useful when I just need an outlet and want something to write about with a solid beginning middle and end that I don't have to worry about. Just thought I'd share:

Writing Generator Story generators of various plot types. Also allows you randomize characters and other aspects of the plot.

Random Adventure Generator Generates a fantasy scenario. This one's fun.

Story Generator As the title implies, a story generator.

Writing Challenge Very useful, for fanfictions especially.

Setting Creation Generates extensive amount setting information for a fantasy story/roleplay/whatever.

Fire Emblem IX Doujinshi

This is fairly old. I made this in 2006 right after finishing the game and I couldn't get the two main characters out of my head. But the purpose of this doujinshi in the end wasn't really to tell a story...I made this so I could play with markers and try to make something that's distinct and impactful.

Pages 1-5

Markers, pigment ink, colored pencil, pastel pencils
