Hey, it's me

One Piece Thriller Bark arc is fully subbed, and has been for quite a while now. I am a shamed One Piece fan for not checking for months, when I've been waiting for the entire arc to be subbed to watch.

But it is subbed, and thus I need to have a fifty-five episode(!) marathon. Good thing it's a holiday weekend.

I am going to have to start reading the manga flat out. It's taking waaayyyyy too long this time for the anime to air and I need a One Piece fix, stat. My muse is thinking of visiting the beach the Buffy, Smallville, Harry Potter, and KKM muses are vacationing on. This is bad!

In the meantime, I totally blame titti for the Merlin fic I'm going to write on Friday.

Does anyone have a picture of Brook playing his violin? I'm having trouble finding one that's decent enough. No imagebucket images please, as I can't open it at work. You can post it in the comments if you have one.

Fandom: One Piece
Pairing: Sanji x Zoro
Rating: NC-17
Notes: Thanks to metal_dog5 and bronzetigress for the beta, as always. Any mistakes you find I did on my own.
Summary: Zoro wasn’t paid to get his own pleasure from what they did – that was a bonus.

Lemmed from suzvoy, as who better to lem from?

The last lines of my last twenty-five fics, each line linking to the fic it's from.

Twenty five is a big number! It might actually stretch me back into SV...

This gets me back all the way to May 9, 2007. Six SPN, 2 SGA, 4 PoT, and 13 OP. I remember when I used to write a story a week during my Buffy days. Now we're stretching back a year and a half to get 25 stories.

This bunch includes my foray into SPN, which is a very scary place to visit, and 1/2 of my SGA fics. H.M.S. Atlantis is probably one of my favorite fics of all time and it's included here. Yay.

To keep it real - not that my head is rooted in reality - I had a dream last night where I, while waiting in cluster-lines outside a building, was having a lively debate with con-people about how Jesus is the biggest Mary Sue of Mary Suenation. If you go with the theory that the Bible is a work of fiction, I can so see that this is true. He's got all sorts of neat powers, comes back from the dead, and all the smart good-side people think he is teh shizzle. The only thing missing is the sparkles.

From the Tiger's Keeper dj. It's too big for an icon, which is sad, but I am thrilled how it turned out.


Also, did this little guy



from the Cactus dj.

oh, this is going to be fun

Title: Not Just About You
Fandom: One Piece
Pairing: Sanji x Zoro, Zoro x Sanji
Rating: NC-17
Spoilers: Post Franky, pre-Brook
Notes: Much thanks to metal_dog5 and to bronzetigress. RL comes before the boys' sex life, even though we'd wish it the other way around.

Summary: You're only nineteen and everything is a first for you.

Trolling the internet yesterday, I stumbled upon this OP Sanji & Zoro fanart that's omgwow. It's by "brilc" according to the caption. If anyone knows who brilc is, please let me know so that I may heap praise upon the fanartist.

The world famous Chippendales are performing at Blue Chip Casino here in town. The radio add says "First come, first served." Heh. Hehheh.

Shut up, Beevis.

Notes: This was written to fix my new character phobia. I am only up to date with the anime, not the manga, so the new person to me is Franky.
Notes 2: Thanks to my two betas for sticking with me for more than three fics. It's appreciated!

Summary: It hadn’t been long since Franky had teamed up with the Straw Hat crew and he was still finding his footing.

Summary: "You don't remember anything?"

Again, this long fic I'm working on is giving me fits. Yargh.

( Spoilers for next big OP fic. Don't click if you don't want to know. )

I've started my next OP fic and the first five pages are pretty great, if I do say so myself. But I've hit a wall on page six - not writer's block but a plotstacle - and talking it out might unravel things so that I may write on. Your comments are more than welcome.

( Spoilers for my next story. Do not click if you do not want to know the plot. )

Fandom: One Piece
Pairing: Sanji x Zoro, Other x Zoro
Rating: NC-17

Notes: Thank you metal_dog5 and bronzetigress for the betaing. Also, for those of you who followed my Buffy fics, this title is similar to one I used in that fandom, minus an 'A'. /sheepish
Word Count: 15,000
Part One/Two

Summary: “I know, for sure, that I didn’t expect to miss everyone so much, including you.” Sanji cut a glance at Zoro and rephrased correctly, “Especially you.”

I'm getting myself in the mood to write an emotional love scene in my latest OP fic and thus I am watching ZoSan AMVs. I'm finding both what-were-you-thinking and really wonderful AMVs contributed to the fandom. It got me thinking: do you have favorite ZoSan/SanZo AMVs? If so, tell! Here's a few of my favs:

One Week
Poison
Too Much Love
The Calling
If You're Not the One


Posting the slideshows also brings up a question: do you think it's okay to use fanart in this fashion, since it's publicly posted? As long as credit is given, I think it's okay. To me, it's like someone reading your story out loud - it's still your story, word for word, only in a different medium.

I have a calendar fetish, so every time a new month rolls around where I get to change to the new page in the calendar there is vast glee. I never look ahead and thus it's always a surprise and a treat as to what comes next.

On my One Piece anime calendar, March/April is Sanji and Zoro together, with their families and major enemies behind them. Sanji is extremely slobber-inducing in the art. Guh. Mostly, though, I'm giggling like a loon because it's a slashtastic calendar page that screams "boyfriends!"

Hehe.

Notes: Thank you bronzetigress for the beta. Any further mistakes are mine.
Notes 2: I know this is a little early, but I wanted to get it posted so that I could concentrate on my next story. I'm weird about having non-posted completed and beta'd fics dangling there while I'm writing something else, like I'm holding out on you guys or something.

Summary: “It’s your birthday, isn’t it?”
