Lending Voice to Thoughts

We have been writing like a MOFO!!! \o/ And it feels good!

Back during the end of December, tried writing and posting a chapter a day for murdery mystery, The 12 Days of Murder. It was supposed to be a one-off, but the universe was so much fun that I'm gearing up do do another one, this time for Golden Week, 29 April through 5 May. ... Although less of a body count this time... ~_~

But in preperation, doing short fics for various holidays between. It helps that they figured out whose POV goes where. Japanese Holidays are from Kuroba's POV, Western Holidays are from Hakuba, which make a certain amount of sense.

Links are embedded in the fic if people have questions on things. Or, yanno, just ask.

3 Feb - Setsubun
Oni Out! Happiness In! The day before spring in Japan.

8 April - Easter Sunday
Rabbits don't poop eggs-?
This one was a bit tricky, since our headcannon for the series had Baaya as either Jewish or Roman Catholic, so I polled people to see which she should be. Either way meant research into customs, which is fun!

27 Jan - Down the Rabbit Hole
-Posted to Tumblr, since it's short and non-sensical. And follows a story not posted yet. *sighs* Oh, linear thinking, why must you be so hard?!

Thanks to winterjameson introducing me to Comment_fic, have also been doing lots of Phineas and Ferb general short fics. Trying to figure out how to post them to Archive of our Own, either seperately or as a collection, since they're under 1,000 words each.

Other than that, after almost three months and a two-week break, we're almost caught up on One Piece anime. Mmm.... One Piece.... Why isnt there more fic with Iceburg and Paulie?

So Ian discovered my ancient HK dvds of One Piece and started watching them. Favourite HK line so far:

Luffy: "Ah? A cemetary? I should offer my condolences.... confidence... condoms..."
Genzo: "Condolences is fine."

Some people hate HKs for the crappy translations, I watch HKs for them... (as Col Smoker announces that he 'ate the smoking nuts' to Luffy on screen...)

Currently re-reading the manga, since I'd never really read past the Alabasta arc before. Averaging 100 chapters a day, just finished the Skypiea arc.

But noticed something kinda interesting. At the beginning, after Coby and Luffy have defeated Alvida, Luffy says that he's looking for crew members, specfically Zoro, who is being held captive.

Dunno about the anime, but in the manga, Zoro's mentioned twice earlier in the chapter. The first time out of Luffy's earshot, and again by Alvida upon meeting Luffy, who simply states that Luffy is not Zoro. Yet Luffy not only knows who Zoro is, but knows where he's at, the same island Coby is heading towards.

Which means Luffy had heard of Zoro before setting sail, and had already decided on him as a Nakama, ‘if he is a good guy’.

This is interesting because it's the only break in a pattern. Luffy and Zoro need a navigator, they run across Nami. They need a ship, they acquire both the Going Merry and Ussop. They realise they need a cook, and Johnny directs them to Sanji. They need a doctor, they meet Chopper.

With the exception of Zoro, who Luffy purposesly goes and gets, the crew is gathered as they're needed.

-I'm sure there's a fic in there, but I'm not sure exactly what.

skyechan pointed out there was a bit of vandalism on the Detective Conan Wiki....

Toichi Kuroba (黒羽 盗一 Kuroba Touichi ? ) was the original Hard Gay. Toichi as Hard Gay was the greatest 'jewel' thief in Japan as well as the best stage dancer in Japan until he was murdered in a fake pole dancing accident. Sometime prior to his death Toichi had his attendant and friend Konosuke Jii promise him that he would never tell Kaito about his dancing.

-This needs to be ficced. Hard core. Pretty please? With a flailing Kaito on top? \o/

So Sean and I have been marathoning South Park, and we just got to the Underpants Gnomes episode.

2 strange thoughts on it.

One, the Kaitou Kid could learn a lot from the above equation.

Two, I wonder if Eiii from Kamen Rider OOOs has ever had contact with the Underpants Gnomes. (Sean wonders if he was raised by said gnomes)
This may explain Eiji's fascination with underpants.

Just saying. ^__^

... How would one have a 'Minty Fresh Corpse'?
