This is not a novel to be tossed aside lightly.
It should be thrown with great force.
—Dorothy Parker

"Get away from the book by any means you can. Or, if you've been unfortunate enough to pay money for it already, fling it against the wall. It'll make a really satisfying thwack! when it hits. Just make sure no pets or toddlers are in the way." --The Top 10 Signs You're Reading A Very Bad Romance Novel

Mind if I preach #6 to the ground? In any genre? Repeatedly?

This kind of plot device I can't stand either: ( Cut for Major Disgaea Spoilers. No, I Never Played It )

It's only the New Year and I already found this awesome summary. So awesome that it deserves its own icon:

Rise Against Darkrai, Journey to Save Mew » by HarsuneTheAuthor
This fanfic is now closed due to lack of reveiws. I don't want to write a story nobody'll read! Feel free to read my other story that's in progress.

WIN.

I'm tempted to make cheap MS Paint illustrations of this fic too. Alberto with a gun! OH BABY ♥

I went to Shampoodle to get my hair changed in Animal Crossing. Now my character looks like Sarah Palin. DDDDDDDDD:

I swear it was unintentional! Great. I'll keep making jokes until I can change my hair tomorrow.

"I can see Russia from my house!"

I can't believe it's Christmas EVE already. XD I know I been celebrating Hanukah with the family the past couple days, but I've been doing a good job neglecting dates, haha. XDDD;;;

Put your mp3 player on shuffle and write down the first lines of the first twenty songs, then post the poem that results. The first line of the twenty-first is the title.

"And It's Happening"

She keeps Moet et Chandon in a pretty cabinet
Merely the sound of your voice made me believe you were her
Every time I think of you, I feel shot right through with a bolt of blue
Lie awake and look through the trees, my dear, my dear
She's into superstition, black cats and voodoo dolls
We used to swim the same moonlight waters
Feels like the weight of the world
Hey Jude, don't make it bad
Excuse me, but can I be you for a while?
Ain't it funny how we pretend we're still a child?
Why are there so many songs about rainbows and what's on the other side?
I wish I was infinite and given my way
One minute I'm in Central Park, then I'm down on Delancey Street
I admit that in the past I've been a nasty
Love is a many splendid thing, love lifts us up where we belong, all you need is love
Little do I know, little do I care, little would it help if I knew and was aware
If the sun went down tomorrow and it never came back
You'll never see the courage I know
I looked into your eyes; they told me plenty
This place feels so unfamiliar, and yet I know it well

Dude, that was surprisingly epic. It hadn't occurred to me what a total LunarEclipseshippy (Darkrai/Cresselia) song Kamelot's "Lunar Sanctum" is either. oO;;; Kamelot must reeeeeeeeeeally like Darkrai, considering the tone of their music and their lyrics relating so well to him. :o Hell, I can probably safely say they ship Darkrai with anyone, considering they wrote a big giant movie tribute to him and Alicia and Alice in "Somewhere in Time (The Haunting)". I would call it an Aegisshipping (Darkrai/Alice) song, but... blegh. The pairing's kinda gone on a Jeff/Paula route for me in where I went from "Ah ha, Darkrai liked Alicia. :P" to "Oh hey, hadn't thought of that, could be cute." to "Oh crap, reminds me of a friend I used to have. *hedgehog hiss*" So... yeah. The ship makes me uncomfortable now. D: Baaaaaaaaad memories. I'll still look at art and goodfic like I do with Jeff/Paula (and heck, I could write it if I'm in a good mood and you threw me a pencil), but my feelings on the pairing itself... bleeeeeeeeeegh. DDDDDD: (Though thankfully, my uneasiness from Jeff/Paula stems from trianglefic and not a verbally abusive ex-friend. XDDD;;;) 'Sides, I kinda knew from the beginning; I'm a Quiescentshipper, aka Darkrai/Alicia. :P Maybe I don't mean ROMANCE AND TWU WUV!!11!!1 (In fandom, relationship lines tend to get blurred like that. XD), but I do find their friendship bittersweet and cute like with Mewtwo & Ai and Shadow & Maria, and it was basically the plot of "Rise of Darkrai" for me. Screw Dialga and Palkia, Darkrai sacrificing himself for the love of a little girl who cared for him while everyone wanted him burned in a bonfire is touching to me. ;;

Dammit. Rise of Darkrai is my least favorite Pokemon movie, yet it's my favorite fandom currently. Maybe because it lends itself super easy to fanfiction and other creative stuff? It's fun to speculate considering what little development it was given in the first place *SHOT* and dammit Tonio's growing on me (I dunno if that's the right word, I'm iffy. XD;;) or at least my Head*Canon version. He's kinda a slightly messed-up guilt-sack. *cough* Stupid fucking Tonio. <.< He's fun to write though. WRRRRY

Nooooooooooooooooo. I feel parts of my brain going "LIAR LIAR YOU KNOW IT'S NOT TRUE" and goddammit I hate feeling conflicted. I DON'T NEED THIS ANGST NOT WHEN I'M ALREADY SUFFERING SO MISERABLY IN COLLEGE AND REAL LIFE. :( *sigh* Maybe I'll feel better fandomwise when I scan the manga, which actually doesn't suck. :P

So... screw the screechy shipwars, I crackship Cressellia/Alice and Baron Alberto/Tonio out of rebellion? :DDDD;;; *HOUSE'D!*

Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah conflictconflict *hedgehog hiss* Could be worse, I could be guilty-smitten by Twilight. (Which I really love reading parodies of. Check it out!) GUYS YOU SHOULD SEE MY PLOTBUNNIES THEY'RE REALLY AWESOME okaymostofitisyaoipr0nbut someone cheer me up and send Staffshipping goodness. Nomnomnom Aaron/Lucario nom~ ♥ Yep, that's what I do. WHEN IN DOUBT SIR AARON WILL SAVE

P.S. "This Used To Be My Playground" is totally Madotsuki. ;;

"There's very little whatsoever to imply any sort of attraction between Sonic and Shadow of Sonic The Hedgehog. That being said, it's one of the most-shipped yaoi pairings out there, Or So I Heard." --TV.Tropes on the Foe Yay page

Quick! Somebody update that page with Sonic's flirting in Shadow the Hedgehog! :o

Time to tackle my paper for Rhetoric! *disappears*

How Not to Write a Novel by Howard Mittelmark and Sandra Newman is seriously the best book on creative writing I've read since Stephen King's On Writing, William Strunk Jr. and E.B. White's The Elements of Style, and Barnaby Conrad's The Complete Guide to Writing Fiction. (I always did learn best from humor, nomnomnom~) Observe:

"We're Going to Need a Bigger Closet: Male friends hug, toast their friendship, and later stumble drunkenly to sleep in the cabin's one bed. The reader is way ahead of you--they are secretly gay, and nothing you say later is going to change his mind. If you do not intend to let them be secretly gay, let Alan sleep on the couch. p.19"
