It's raining again. I don't think there's been a day where it didn't rain once since May.
Mwahahaha! I'm gonna be famous!
Wheeee! Of course, I had to put about five different names in before I got this, but, um, look! Tsu x His!
wesleysgirl's meme: Your favorite thing that you've ever written:
"Tsuzuki sighed. He could hate himself for this, he knew, if he only bothered to stop and think on it. For the familiarity of the heat and the way part of him still wanted it, reveled in the pain and the simplicity of it, desired its finality even now. For the fact that he was crawling after Hisoka yet again, undone by the reminder of black flames and armored with the barest of excuses, desperate just to be near him for a little while."
-Summer's Day.
I like that. I like the way it flows- there's not too many words for the image, which is something that occasionally bugs me when I reread fics. There's a place to poaint with words, to use layers and layers and describe every detail of an image, and there's a place to use just a few words, to let it be clean and sleek, simple as cut. And I think I got that here.
Also, in rereading Summer's Day, my Tsuzuki seems to be incredible more timid than the average reading of his character. And while that doesn't bother me, I wonder if I couldn't have set it up better, spent more time on his characterization. Did that bother anyone else? Is this me being overly self-critical, or did he seem unbelievable to you, too different? But I do think this paragraph got it, got him the way I was trying to show him.
Overall, though, that was a fun meme. I had to go back and reread all my fics to pic a moment, because once I write a fic I pretty much block all memory of it from my brain. And in between all the 'Damnit, why did I write that?' or 'If only I could rephrase that, it would sound so much better another way' and other similar thoughts, there were several 'I wrote that? Dude." Which makes it all worthwhile, of course.
