VS Three O'clock & Strawberry VS Takachin & Gin-san & the Jugem monkey
(The last two are all anime voice actor references, so blocked to keep up illusion.)

(Me: Several have already answered Today's Writer's Block for me, so I'm not answering it.
Gin: They have not answered for you. You just happen to like what they wrote.
Me: I don't like what they wrote. It's simply what I would have written as my answer.
Gin: That's nonsense right there.)

( Part of my very long author's note that I just have to put somewhere before September 26. Every series mentioned by name is tagged, even if it is just one line (and/or in a censored form). Most of the mentions are just voice actor references, though. )

( Still in dialog (but not necessarily in character), spoilers for Gintama episodes 225-226 (and mentions of 107-108 (I think?), 110). )

I feel like I'd already talked about most of this before in one form or another scattered around my journal, but anyway...

Why I write what I write? Or what make me pick which fandom to write for, out of all the ones I like? (Stolen from the discussion back in January on ffr_discussion (What gets you writing?))

( gender-bend, main character, more than one source material, understandable situations and characters )

I read this shoujo manga (ultimately a straight one, not yaoi, though there are hints on the latter aplenty) and have many, many thoughts on it (which I think I might get a dedicated manga blog to post them to once and for all). One of those thoughts is this manga has finally given me a reason to really like the name Jun as a male name, and the name Shizuka as a name in general, simply because the characters with these names are just so cool. (Yay, I never said I wasn't shallow (the icon), though most of the time I don't mean just surface appearances by 'cool'.)

( On Jun )

( On Shizuka )

Strangely, I don't think I'll ever end up naming my characters with these two names. Weird, since I usually use the names I like for my characters, but the associations (mental images I have) with the established characters who have the names are just too strong, particularly in Shizuka's case, because he's constantly referred to that way by the heroine.

Edit:

純 (JUN) means pure, and never used alone except as a name, so no 'kun' reading. And yes, that's a kanji character for 'thread' on the left side.

All parts of this fic so far are tagged here. Disclaimer and Notes are in Part 1.

Just so you know, this is Mirai/Ryuu or Ryuu/Mirai. I haven't rated this fic, but it is pretty safe otherwise. My thanks and enjoy if you read it.
