Oh gosh, I am stupid. XD
Soooooooo... I'm actually going to attend Malaysia's first Yaoi Con tomorrow.
I know what you're all thinking... how hypocritical of me! I don't even like yaoi, yet here I am listing myself into attending this event. Why? For a very shallow reason...
They have a Fanfic Writing Competition.
That's right. This is the ONLY event that I know of in Malaysia that has a freaking FANFIC. WRITING. COMPETITION. How can I not want to join?
Of course, I had my doubts about joining it cause let's just face it... as much as I'm okay with yaoi, I'm not really the type to pair guys together. I acknowledge them when they do look good or act well together (Shin/Sena from ES21 for example... seriously, these guys gave off that vibe for me) or even when they're meant to be together (Touya/Yukito from CCS... they're freaking canon and it was good to boot!). But I don't actively follow them, neither am I interested in writing fics or checking out fanart for them.
So I really didn't feel like joining this at all after a while... but I contacted the organizer, asked her what the competition would be like and she gave me a theme. Not gonna reveal it here... but after some thinking, I realised, this theme would so suit...
Hiruma/Musashi from Eyeshield 21. @____@
And suddenly the idea won't leave me. I WANTED to write it. It's not romantic or fluffy per se, it's more angsty and neither would there be any lovey dovey moments between them both. But it would focus solely on them and their feelings... and it fascinated me.
So yeah, I'm off to challenge myself and see if I can pull this off. In any case, it's made me interested in writing Hiruma/Musashi/Mamori... but so far the only fic I feel like writing for it is angsty. SUPER angsty. And as much as I'm good with angst, it's not something I'm fond of writing since two of my chaptered HiruMamo fics are angsty at this point. Enough is enough. XD So I'll shelve the idea for now and see if I wanna pull it out later on.
But yeah... not in it to win, but totally in it to challenge myself. And hey, first Yaoi Con of the country! How can I not check it out and be supportive at least? XD
On another note, I am WAAAAAY too obsessed with my chaptered fic Remember that I pretty much did a NaNoWriMo with it and wrote close to 10,000 words in 3 days. I wanted it all to be in one chapter but it was obviously way too long to be one chapter, so I split it in two. Right now, I'm going through some parts with moodylollipop as a couple of scenes and character development were sacrificed involuntarily as I was desperate to keep writing and put my thoughts down. Chapter 14 is up, but with Chapter 15 I really need to work things out properly cause it feels sorta rushed and I didn't convey some parts well. So here's wishing me luck! In the meantime, I shall focus on writing for tomorrow's fic, this month's prompt and then gonna write for Wait For Me. (It's incredibly tempting to write the last chapter of Remember... but DAMMIT I DON'T WANT IT TO END SO QUICKLY!!! XD)
Also... I am in love with THIS HiruMamo fic! Mostly cause it's just so rare to find a good, interestingly developed fantasy like story for HiruMamo! Dunno how I missed out on this... I was depressed, silly! It has smut yeah, but everything in this fic was used well. I NEED MORE OF THIS!
Last but not last... I'll be starting vocal lessons on Tuesday. 8D Here's hoping it'd go well!
All in all, I've been super creative this week. But my work's being sacrificed in return. Not good. Ah well... it's a rare week for me, for sure.
