FINE I WILL GO BACK AND WRITE SOMETHING

Yeah...sometimes I look at sentences of mine and think "I know the English sentence can be endlessly modified, but I don't think that it's such a good thing all the time..."

YES! MARTINI-SIPPING CHAIRS!

Oh, you...XD

And on 'The Consort'...it would be kinda interesting. @_@ It would.

XD AT FIRST I THOUGHT OF ALCHOHOL CONSUMING CHAIRS THAT FALL OVER WHEN THEY ARE DRUNK.

See? You motivate me...somewhat...XD

It would be, but right now it goes into the category of "BIG PROJECTS: To be done later" Except that I really want to do it sooooooo badly but Cain comes first XD

DID YOU JUST PERSONIFY FURNITURE WITH ALCOHOLISM?!

Spanichiiiiii!

I hear you on the constructive criticism. From what I've seen, I love your fics so much that my brain switches onto fangirl mode, and I focus on the things I loved, so I overlook other things.

But really, your pacing, plots, and characterization are great. If you really want me to be nitpicky, I'll say that I've seen a few misspellings. (><)

LOL YES! I'm waiting for more hints on their relationship before I write more of it...

That's because I can't type to save my life XD so things get misspelled (you should point them out, because they bug the crap out of me. And then sometimes Word changes things on me and I find it later and I'm like "DUDE! That isn't what I wrote!")

#12 = Aye~! Though I have to say, most people probably forget to give the reason on why they love it so because yer writing has touched them so much they were rendered speechless. It happened to me, and still does whenever I read yer works =3 There's a certain vibe that comes from yer choice of words, the way ye pace everything out, it's really very thorough and constructed.

The Consort really sounds interesting. ^^ I really encourage ye to write it~! =D

This has just served to remind me that you wrote D18 and I haven't had a chance to look at it yet *sob* Dear Glass, you fail...
Well...thank you! *laughs* I guess it's a sign that I'm doing things right if people don't tear my work to shreds, yeah?

It would involve too much research. And possibly a trip to a place that I'm not legally allowed to go. And a lot of planning. So it might have to wait awhile...

xD Oh it's okay. I know ye have a life outside the net away.

lol When that means ye can write other stuffs to prepare for it...? I never knew though that host clubs have age restriction.

*sigh* Yeah, one that's demanding all of my time right now, unfortunately.

I don't know if they do, because they don't have them in the US. So I would have to see one or check out an escort service or something and I'm still a minor, so that's way out. (Plus its illegal)

I can’t stand OOC characters. Sometimes it’s kind of amusing, and sometimes it just happens a little on accident, and I can live with that. But characters have set personalities, and part of writing fanfiction is keeping true to the original story, not twisting it any way you want!

Can I get an AMEN! I said nearly the exact same thing when I did this meme. Really...why change someone we love since we fell in love with them cuz of how they are.

I also got into KHR cuz of Hibari XD

I know, right? Hallelujah! Isn't that the challenge of writing fanfiction, trying to keep true to the story rather than just applying your own characterization? People who do that sort of thing should be shot

LOL I saw a Hibari icon and I wanted to know who the sexy guy was XD So I had to find out

I know that its hard to write certain characters (like Hibari) since we dont get any real inner stuff from them (I mean come on we know NOTHING about the guy) but really he's almost tooo easy since he's insanely predictable XD Maybe its cuz I write Ghost Hunt and Hibari reminds me alot of Naru that making the transition to KHR wasnt as hard as other fandoms Ive attempted. Im always worried Ill get something OOC and have ppl complain XD

I actually think the first KHR icon I saw was Mukuro and I was like O___O but I know I saw Hibari with his dark hair and coat on shoulders look and was about sold. Still took me a while to get through the first 8 vols XD but then the 6918 Sakura fight in vol 9 hooked me for life!

I thought Hibari was really difficult to write until I actually started writing him, because you're right, he is a fairly consistent character. I have more trouble with Mukuro, though, just because he does strange things sometimes and his character is a little out there, so it makes me worry about going OOC (which is sadly why I don't write him as much as I should)

Something about Hibari and his uniform is like an instant hook for people to read. I know my friend saw a picture of him one time and she was like "GIVE ME THAT BOOK! Who is he?!" I think maybe the reason there aren't more people in this fandom is all the craziness of the first seven volumes that seem plotless (and most of it was, kinda, apart from introducing characters/building relationships) and so people don't wait to get to the good parts with Mukuro and the Varia and TYL!. Which is sad, really...
