I wandered in the direction of 50scenes a while ago, but it wasn't until I was shoved unmercifully towards Rurouni Kenshin fandom by a friend that I decided to take up the challenge
( Read more... )
I stalked over to your LJ from 100_fairytales and saw this entry where is looks like you're going to delve into the RK world. From the little I've read of you work, I expect great things...you're writing style is wonderful.
I'm guessing from what you've posted, you haven't got much experience in this fandom, but it lends itself really well to AU, especially the supernatural, fantasy kind. I think that it helps that there isn't already a magical element in the original story line. People love to make Kenshin a demon, vampire, and other similar creatures.
One of the best AU writers of RK is Ravyn; she's on FF.net. I would definitely recommend reading her works if you haven't already, if only for the entertainment value. XD.
Wow, thank you very much for your kind words and advice! :D I've been teetering on the brink of writing an RK fic for quite a while - but now I have a little more time, hopefully I'll find the impetus to get going! AU is very much my ball park, and I can't really see myself heading anywhere else. ^.~
Oh, Ravyn! Seriously, I bow in awe to her writing. <3 She was what got me interested in writing for RK in the first place - such a wonderful imagination in making all those different worlds! (:
I hope you don't mind if I add you as a friend? I know its a little random, but I don't really have anyone on my flist who is into both Inuyasha and RK (that I know of, anyway!) so it'd be nice to have someone to chat to about it. Plus you seem like a cool kind of person. ^^
I LOVE new friends and would be happy to be yours as well as long as you don't mind having a middle-aged mom as your friend . I should warn you most of my posts here are family-related.
I am fairly new to the world of writing fanfiction, but I've been a reader for a while. Finally works up the guts to post my first story last January. I've got two RK fics currently in progress; not brave enough to tackle IY yet ;), so I just sit back and absorb what other people come up with.
BTW, are prompt sets evil? I'm beginning to think they are. This list from 50scenes is inspiring new ideas!!! I can't handle it! Two stories is all I can deal with right now! We'll just file this prompt list in the queue of things I don't have time to do.
One of my best friends on LJ is a middle-aged mom, so there are absolutely no objections there! ^^ As long as you don't mind having a rather random seventeen year old who writes too much for her own good? xDD
It's always interesting stepping from being a reader to being a writer, but I think I may be pottering over to your RK fics shortly, if only to entice you in the black hole that is Inuyasha! ;D And also because it is too damned hard to find good RK fanfic these days. :)
BWAH. Yes, I think they are. Really. I must have at least six (maybe seven?) on the go at the moment. I'm such a sucker for starting stories, losing the plot and ending up stuck until inspiration hits. *fails* That is NOT the way to do it! But if you ever need some recs for prompt tables of any sort, I'm your girl!
hey there! i came across your page through your ff.net profile since you mentioned you started some of your drabbles here. I love when people write in the AU for RK! So awesome that lrdrandallslady posted on your site (I love her work as well as the famous Ravyn), but I never knew till now that she was closer to my age than I thought! I have never written any fics, but love reading Kenshin/Kaoru pairing and Sess/Kag Inu/Kag pairings so I look forward to reading through the rest of your fics. Maybe I will write someday (I have so many crazy dreams that I should let them inspire a fic), but in the meantime, I look forward to what you (and other awsome AU writers like you) put out :) Keep up the good work!

Good luck on your new endeavor!
