PoT: Challenge: Credit

Fic post from my archive.

Credit

This story takes place in a quantum bubble of the Challengeverse (maybe it happened, maybe it didn't), immediately following "The Continuation of War". Tezuka offers Oishi some support after his very bad day. Porn with Characterization, I-3

It had not been a relaxing day for Oishi Shuichirou.

really? I mean, I first learned of 'omake' through the fanbase, that it should be like a mockery of certain scenes... like the screen caps after the credits of the show--the chibi caps? an omake...

{waves hand} I'll ask my boss at class tonight.

And it's not nice to fry your readers brains!!!! How I'm a supposed to WRITE when my brain is *fried*???? HUH????

*stares into space*

I am taken with a sudden vision of this story taking place during the closing credits of Continuation, in chibi form.

*falls out of chair laughing*

OMG. Ok, excuse me, but I am inspired, and must go change the title, right now. Oh, it's perfect.

*snickering* Ah, thank you for inspiring a real title for this one, dear.

You've probably been in the fanbase long enough to have learned the term before the meaning really started to slip. It never fails to astonish me how fast it can happen, I mean, a matter of a year or two in online-based communities.

This does not stop me from railing against fate when it's an annoying shift. For instance, all the signs here in Ohio that say "Stop here to actuate signal." Yes, help that traffic light be all it can be! *facepalm*

[lady-readwolf.livejournal.com]

Oh, jeesh... I've only been in the fanbase for... for... {blinks} well, damn... five? six years? shit... That's not *that* long, really...

{pouting} glad I could help inspire... even if it's *still* an Oishi & Tezuka fic....

Hey! I thought there was supposed to be Fuji & Tezu action!!!!

Okay... gotta ask... "Stop here to actuate signal"??? Huh???

[branchandroot]

Well, they mean "activate signal", but someone in the State Department of Signs messed up, lo these many years ago, and all the signs at traffic lights that tell you where the weight-plates are say "actuate" instead. *shakes head*

[lady-readwolf.livejournal.com]

yes. in case you were wondering, I *did* notice how you avoiding the other comments....

[branchandroot]

*sighs* Darn. The thing is I never intended this to go TezuFujiwards. *pauses* Of course, I never actually intended it to go TezuOishiwards, either...

[lady-readwolf.livejournal.com]

{sniffles} {pouts} well, okay.... as long as the characters are surprising *you*, too... {grins}

{wonders what *other* surprises are in store...}

"Omake" is generally the same as "Extra". Kind of like an added little thing just because the author/mangaka feels like adding it in. It's just that omake usually ends up being comedic, though not always.

Ex: Ever read some of the Gundam manga? Those little chibi comic strips at the end of the books? Like how to draw Trowa, or Heero using Duo's braid for a brush? That sort of thing? Those are omake.

[lady-readwolf.livejournal.com]

Yeah! yeah! I guess because they always seem comedic I just associated them with 'parody'.


(and yes, although it's been a while, I do remember the 'braid for a paint brush' incident' ^__^)

[anruik]

It's hard to forget that braid for a brush incident. XD
