so last night I couldn't write anything at all - I was really distracted by the Kuroyaku art that I'd discovered plus Futakuchi wasn't cooperating so I got a total of three lines in, which was frustrating because Futakuchi is actually one of the few characters I can write without much hassle orz

my current goal's to write lighter stories (with nothing in our hands-esque) (which I am very disappointed few people are reading because!!! that fic was so fun to write!!! and reading it also makes me smile stupidly!!! but I digress!!! I do understand why people didn't read/kudo it but anyway!!!) because every single one of my recent ones have been heavy, both in angst, plot and world-building. I need something... cheerier. maybe not so much giving up the mindless fluff and plots, but moreso in adopting a lighter tone.

WNIOH was an experimental fic for me and I was really pleased with how it turned out. it was surprisingly easy to write - too easy, actually, to the point where I had to take a one month break before I went back to my usual writing voice for the little bits and pieces (heck, even in bits and pieces you can tell that I'm not at 100% serious voice yet). 

I would have liked to continue writing in that style, but I was worried I would grow too used to writing that kind of tone, which would leave me with consistency problems when I went back to writing Timeless (a damn valid concern, and I'm glad I did it because I seriously struggled with writing Sunrise after that).

the dumbest part of last night came after I was already in bed.

I'd plugged my phone in, was lying down and had finally found a suitable position to sleep in, when the Rental Boyfriend AU came and bit me in the ass. it was going all,  "Okay listen, you know what you've written already, let's not use that as the introduction - use it as background!!! yes, I mean you need to write a new introduction!!! and you can make it much more casual and happy-go-lucky like you did in with nothing in our hands!!! which is what you've been trying to do recently right??? :D" 

now this was after three whole months of not thinking about the Rental Boyfriend AU - I'd left it untouched for most of this time because... well. I've already written Yakunoya fake dating (you, me, a date) so I didn't really want to write another one from the exact same trope. I was planning to leave it to much much later (ie. after I was done with the damn friends-with-benefits au which is, at this rate, never going to be done) but the muse obviously thinks otherwise. (would be nice to see how such a tropey fic will perform though - fake dating is a staple of the fandom and I know from experience it really racks up the hits lol) 

and I was all,"mm, yeah,  that sounds good - now, muse, you be good and hold that thought right there for me, I'll write it down tomorrow 'cos I'm already in a good position and I gotta sleep because work in eigh-"

"NO NO  NO NO NO YOU GET OUT OF BED NOW TAKE YOUR PHONE AND WRITE THAT DOWN I AIN'T  GONNA HOLD YOUR THOUGHTS FOR YOU"

me, groaning as I got out of bed: "did I ever tell you I hate you" (proceeds to vent on twitter about this stupid hell ship)

speaking of, I track all mentions of Kuroyaku on Tweetdeck and recently there's been an influx of Kuroyaku-related tweets lol but it's all because of the light novel sketch. 

me: "Yeah y'all love Kuroyaku but do y'all read the Kuroyaku."

yes, me being petty.

in other news, I've been playing with the idea of organising a Kuroyaku week............ but time, muse and... well, time and muse. but I'm starved for content and since everyone loves Kuroyaku--

as ritzfics says, "there can never be too much kuroyaku, in fact, there's NOT ENOUGH KUROYAKU". 

I shall. um. keep playing with it first. and get more opinions.

There's a Gintama screencap where a character obsessed with mayonnaise holds up a plate full of mayonnaise and says THERE'S NOT ENOUGH MAYONNAISE. I'm tempted to edit that pic to say THERE'S NOT ENOUGH KUROYAKU. 8)

And yep, the muse always pesters you when you need it the least XD Then when you need it, it disappears...
