ObscureAnimeWriter Log 4: March 23, 2009

Holy crap...it's been exactly two years TO THE DAY that I last updated this profile XD Since then, Bleach has risen out of "obscure" status, but...oh, well. It still doesn't seem to be as popular as, say, Naruto, but I argue that it's the better series either way (don't get me wrong, I LOVE Naruto, I just think that Bleach is better written/drawn).

Anyway, there's not much news to tell right now other than 1 ) I intend to go through all of the Bleach fics posted in this profile and do some cleaning/editing and 2 ) I might actually be posting an IshiHime fic here sometime in the near future. I started it way back in '07 and never finished it, but it's a solid idea and I'm looking forward to seeing it complete. It'll also be my first lemon (well, the first one worth reading, anyway) XD I'll only post the censored version here, but fear not! There will be a link to the whole enchillada on my DA profile. (NOTE: The story that I'm referring to is "Achluophobia" and there's a basic summary for it listed below under the heading "Obscure Anime ideas that may/may not ever be written.")

Obscure Anime I've written for so far:

Vampire Game (X2 -- Possibilities, Second is the Best)

Possibilities PG ( K+ )-- (complete) It’s obvious that the first and third princes of La Naan have designs on the princess, but what of the second? New take on the infamous balcony scene from Volume 3. (LaphIsht)

Second is the Best PG-13 ( T )-- (in progress...slowly) First is the worst, second is the best, third is the one with the hairy chest: The first and third princes of La Naan wear their hearts on their sleeves for Ishtar, but the second is more tricky. (LaphIshtSei) HIATUS -- MAY OR MAY NOT BE PERMANENT.

Bleach (X9 -- Blossoming Romance, Chivalry is Dead, Completion, Cupid Shot the Messenger, Feeling Better, I Dare You,Perfect Moments, Pop! Go the Buttons, A Queer Question)

Blossoming Romance G ( K ) -- OneShot. It might have been the spring air, it might have been the blooming trees, but Ishida couldn’t help but thinking about his Soul Society comrade on a day like this. IshiHime.

Chivalry is Dead PG ( K+ ) -- OneShot, crack. "Man, you killed Ishida..." IshiHime.

Completion G ( K ) -- A series of drabbles about how IshiHime completes each other.

Cupid Shot the Messenger PG ( K+ ) -- OneShot. “It’s settled, then,” Mahana brought her closed fist into her open palm decidedly and turned to Michiru. “Write a love letter to Ishida kun for Orihime chan to give him.” OneSided IshiHime.

Feeling Better G ( K ) -- OneShot. "But if you show me where it hurts, I'll kiss it and make it better." IshiHime. Mangaverse, set during Arrancar.

I Dare You PG ( K+ ) -- OneShot. “You can’t say no, Uryuu kun, it was a dare!” IshiHime. (Based on my own engagement story.)

Perfect Moments PG ( K+ ) -- OneShot. If youwait too longfor the perfect moment, you'll only miss it. IshiHime.

Pop! Go the Buttons PG ( K+ ) -- OneShot. "Don’t you want me to take my shirt off?" Wow, now that was a loaded question. IshiHime.

A Queer Question PG ( K+ ) -- “Ishida kun, are you gay?” Come on, you know you want to know...Mild IshiHime

NOTE: All fic ideas below are either already in the planning stages, in production, or nearly finished. I'm not going to specify which ones fall under each category, so you'll just have to be surprised!

-- 000 --

Obscure Anime ideas that may/may not ever be written: (If you're at all interested in adopting one or more of these ideas for yourself, feel free! Just link me to the finished product so I can read it myself, please.)

Bleach (X6 -- Achluophobia, Always On Your Side, Blueberry Kisses, I Can Be Your Hero, Ignorance Destroys Bliss, Mouth to Mouth, Shots From a Canon, What's in a Name?)

(Bleach, by Tite Kubo, is ever-so-slowly becoming popular in the US, but the fandom is still somewhat lacking. For more information on this series, go here: http:///index.php?page= )

Achluophobia R ( M ) -- "If you're not afraid of the dark, Ishida-kun, then why do you keep a flashlight in your bed...?" IshiHime (rated for innuendoand overt sexual references.)

Always On Your Side G ( K ) -- Songfic, OneShot. "Even through it all, I'm always on your side..." RenRuki (based on "Always On Your Side" by Sheryl Crow and Sting)

Blueberry Kisses PG ( K+ ) -- OneShot.The entire school is in uproar, the teenage social strata has been defied, the balance of the universe is in jeaopardy...all because the most popular girl in school has kissed a nerd. IshiHime.

I Can Be Your Hero PG-13 ( T ) -- Series of Songfic's. Based on the song "Hero" by Enrique Iglesias, each will be devoted to a forlorn lover from Bleach. Sweet and bittersweet, romantic and platonic, serious and funnyalike, each featured character will get the opportunity to express their woes. Featured pairings: IshiHime, RenRuki, KonEveryone, etc.

Ignorance Destroys Bliss PG ( K+ ) -- OneShot "Foolish boy. He believes all his losses from the Shinigami counted." RyuukenXUryuu’s Mother. (Pre-Ryuuken Intro, Post-Ishida Intro)

Mouth to Mouth PG ( K+ ) -- When Orihime takes a summer job as a lifeguard at the local pool, guys are lining up to play "drowning victim" for her life-saving skills. But when Uryu Ishida falls prey to an actual emergency, will Orihime's brand of CPR be able to save him? Two Parts. (IshiHime)

Shots From a Canon PG ( K+ ) -- Drabble Collection. Are we making it up? Is it pure speculation? Or is IshiHime really canon romance? IshiHime. (Note the title pun; ONEshots from a CANON pairing. Get it?)

What's in a Name? PG ( K+ ) -- The class is given an assignment to come up with an epithet for one of their classmates. Unfortunately, this turns into another excuse for childish name-calling...(Multiple semi-pairings, including IchiTat, IshiHime, KeiRyou, and others. More humor than romance.)

(...are we seeing a pattern with the pairing(s)? Well, every nerd has his day. With Inoue Orihime, Ishida Uryuu will have an entire afterlife.)

Urusei Yatsura -- (X2 -- Sugar and Spice, Women are from Mars, Men are from Venus)

(While this series is/has been quite popular in Japan, it hasn't been released properly in the US yet. The first six volumes of the manga were translated by VIZ in the early nineties, but with low sales from a market that wasn't quite ready for a culturally-significant series from Japan, the cyndication was discontinued after only a few months. These volumes are NO LONGER IN PRINT, so don't bother looking for them in your local bookstore, but you CAN find scanlations of volumessixthrough fifteen(as well as random story arcs from the firstfive volumes)here -- http:///-- Project ILM. For general information, character profiles, random factoids, etc. on the series overall, visit Tomobiki-cho at http:///uy/index.htm.)

Sugar and Spice G ( K ) --Cooking is one of the essentials for being a good woman, according to traditional estimation. Held back by her father from taking home-ec, Ryuunosuke is forced to search elsewhere for culinaryadvice...enter Lum, self-proclaimed cooking extraordinare. (No Pairing)

Women are from Mars, Men are from Venus PG ( K+ ) -- Nagisa came back to life in order to marry the woman he loved from afar, but Ryuunosuke wants nothing to do with him on the charges that he's not "manly enough." In order to win Ryuunosuke's heart in a more traditional way, Nagisa endeavours to change this...with help from Ataru. (NagRyuu)

YuYuHakusho (X1 -- A Yusuke Christmas Carol)

(not really "obscure" anime, but it seems to fit better with this account than my other one. For more information on this series, go here: http:///yu_yu_hakusho/index.htm)

A Yusuke Christmas Carol (mild YusKei, KurKag) -- On Christmas Eve, Urameshi Yusuke is killed doing the only good deed he’s ever performed. As the Christmas season is a busy one in Reikai, there won’t be a place for him for quite some time and he will have to wait in limbo until his scheduled death: at the age of one hundred and eleven. In light of his final good deed, Yusuke is given an option: wait in limbo or return to life. Who would have thought he needed convincing...? (four-parter)
