Fic post from my archive.

Games for Fun

Suppose that Sanada and Atobe were roomates at Senbatsu. Now suppose that Atobe is feeling provocative after their match in ep. 140. Now suppose gratuitous sex ensues. Porn Without Plot, I-3, anime continuity

"It's simply my unfortunate fate to love a good challenge. Unfortunate because I don't get many of them. Getting you to loosen up a little, though, definitely qualifies."

hello. this is horribly rude and you probably don't remember me, but once upon a time you commented on my lj, and i meant to go read all your fics right off the bat, and um. i didn't.

the reason? horrifically shallow, but you were writing tezuato at the time, and i am a total pairing whore. it's sad, but true--i would rather read mediocre (not bad, note, i do have SOME standards) fic of a pairing that i adore than a well-written, clearly thought-out and strongly characterized story written about a pairing that i just don't dig.

on the other hand, i recently discovered thanks to tomomichi that you wrote shishitori. and i am currently reading through it at brand new days, and i know it's not your latest or your greatest effort by far, but i DO love this pairing and so right now i love you, too, for writing me such a SATISFYING fic. because omg, ohtori is not a girl! or a doormat! and shishido is...shishido! and in love!! and oh, this just contents me something awful. or wonderful.

you didn't write GP, did you? i wish you'd write tezufuji or GP...i know you wrote D1, and i'm looking forward to reading that as well.

so yah...just wanted to say thanks. =)

I do remember, you wrote a lovely little MomoRyo that I really liked. So, you like the ShishiTori? *beams* Great!

Have to say, I will never understand how anyone could watch Ohtori's expressions during the Hyoutei v Seigaku matches and think he was a doormat. The boy's got spine and then some.

I have yet to be bitten by the GP bug, though there is some TezuFuji skittering around the bunny patch. Now, if I can just catch the little sucker...

Anyway, good to hear you're enjoying the fic!

GP's not my favorite pairing--they just seem to get butchered a lot, too. i haven't any idea why someone would think ohtori was a big softy, and i guiltily suspect that it's just one author in particular that i'm thinking of. nevertheless, my pleasure in reading your fics was diminished not one jot. i ADORE stories where they fumble their way into a relationship, but it's so hard to find any that are well-written. and frankly i admire anyone who's got the concentration span to write a long, patient fic developing the route to Twue Wuv.

...which is why i am squeeing with glee to find A WHOLE SERIES OF MOMORYO FICS.

*fills with pure, unadulterated fangirl joy*

now momoryo IS one of my favorite pairings. and because they're kinda...admit it...fluff, it's even harder to find really good fics written about them. very few of my favorite ficcers want to write them, happy or sad, and cathy practically broke my heart with an angst fic she did for them, so perhaps it's just as well.

enough gushing. back to reading.

*hums happily*

*huge, sparkling eyes* Oh, wow, someone who actually likes my addiction to writing long, drawn-out romance! *hearts madly*

*happy sigh*
