Because one writing project is not enough for me.

[butterflydreaming]

So of course the challenge strikes me as a dare, and you know that I cannot back down from dares. I'm in the mood to write something other than my NaNo. I need to do that, actually. It tricks my brain... or maybe my Muse. Actually, I think that it annoys her that I pretend she doesn't exist, and so she starts throwing things at me.

I would have to write something that I haven't done before. My first impression of this challenge was "It looks like I'd have to write action mystery sci-fi S/S." {head in hands} So... other than that... anyone want to give me some suggestions? I'm thinking about what I *have* written.

Genres:
Angst ("Indian Summer, Blackthorn Winter")
Romance ("To Thaw the Frost of Years" counts, "Promise Me", and "CS" of course)
Humor ("Anything Yue Can Do")
Drama ("TC", most stuff)
Horror ("Hunger")
AU ("Misguided Angel")
Songfic ("The Universe is Resting in My Arms", and others)
Self-Insertion (a few -- if you've forgotten them, keep forgetting)
Hentai (uh.)

Characters & Pairings:
Clow/Yue
Sakura/Yue ("Melt" and a very short defend-your-OTP thing) (It's not my OTP... it's complicated.)
Touya/Yue-Yukito ("TTtFoY")
Touya/Tomoyo
Tomoyo/Sakura

and rather than list who I have used --

Characters I haven't used:
Meiling (I avoid her because she's anime canon and I don't have ref material.)
Chiharu
Yamazaki
Rika
Terada-sensei
Akane-chan (though I was trying), and most of the named minor minor characters (for the same reasons as Meiling)
Syaoran (because, somehow, I can't even type his name without errors). (For now, I won't count "Disloyalty")
Madoushi
A few of the Cards (I haven't done POV for any of them, though)
_ _ _

So, yes. I really would be willing to take suggestions. Mystery would be very hard for me, since I can't devote the time to planning it out; sci-fi has the same problem. That's why I've avoided those genres for fanfic. If I was really going to do opposite of my usual first choices, I would be doing fluffy romance. I can do fluffy romance (sure...). Or crack fic, I could do that. I think that I can do action.

I REALLY don't want to do Syaoran/Sakura.

Um, it's hard to say. You've done a lot o_o

How about you take from the list whatever you sort of like but not that much (read: not obsessed) to make a fic about it before? It's better that way than doing something you hate just for the sake of writing anything.

From your list, I'd personaly do Chiharu/Yamazaki fluff, but I that's just me and I don't know what do you think about those two. Just give it a little more of thought and don't stick to our opinions, just in your tolerance to the things out of that list.

And I can relate: like hell I will write S+S -_-

It looks like I'm getting a plot bunny with Naoko... (Which reminds me -- do you have any Naoko, Chiharu, or Rika icons? Could you make a Naoko for me?)

[rainmage.livejournal.com]

Actually, I've wanted to make Naoko icons for a long time... hmmm, yep, I think I will! ^_^ Any particular image of her would you like me to use?

Curse my lack of grammar, I talked like Yoda x_x
But you understood me ^^U

[butterflydrming.livejournal.com]

Well, I always *did* like yoda. Understood him, I always could. ^_^

Naoko at her books would be cute, like where she's asleep (or writing) in the Create episode. Otherwise, anything with her usual Interested expression.

Hmmm, I don't have that episode so I'm not sure I can find screencaps. But I'll do my best to find anything ^^
