I practice what I preach

azuriteOkay, so it turns out that:
a) I have to finish up all my online courses at DriversEdDirect.com before I can take any behind-the-wheel courses
b) I can't get a license without first getting a permit, which I have to take a written exam for... which is likely going to be based on everything I learn when I finish the online courses.
So I have to finish all my online lessons before I can do ANYTHING. X_X more studying. Ugh.
But damn it all, I AM GOING TO HAVE MY LICENSE BY DECEMBER 31st!!!!
*ahem*
Now, before I head off to Mythology class today, I would like to say:
(1) I mourn for Alicia Blade. I really do. Maybe it was my age, my mind-set, or some internal Fangirl Gene that made me adore her, but... this newest fic of hers leaves me in an absolute stupor. IT SUCKS. It could be worse, granted, but I find it very hard to compare it to her older works (not that I've read any lately, so I'm really comparing it to what I remember, on the assumption that they're still good and I wasn't imagining things) and not cringe. I wish I could be the honest reviewer who doesn't use a Swedish Ego Enlarger on her, but something in me doesn't want to be the brat of the SM fandom, all over again. ^^;
(2) I am in need of some damn good hentais. Het, please, because I'm going to take my first baby steps into writing more "adult" fanfic. Violence, language, and angst I've got down- and![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
kitesareevil, do you remember when I thought I couldn't write angst to save my life? *grins* Well, I think I'm pretty good at it now... *cough* Anyway, so I figure, I'll practice what I preach and do some research. I know there are steamy/lemony fics out there that I enjoyed, but now I want to re-read them and find out WHY I enjoyed them, so I can try that style for myself.
I'd especially love any lemons (or as we used to call them way the hell back when "sekkushuru romans" a term which made me think of very long white candles) from the Yu-Gi-Oh fandom. Jounouchi x Mai, Yuugi x Anzu, whatever. Seto x Anzu would best, since that IS the pairing I'm writing for... *smirks* Atlantis, Kysra? Be aware, I'm going to assault your Memories and be doing intensive research on this subject.
World, watch out-- here I come! Bwahaha.

Date: 2005-09-27 03:08 am (UTC)I've read most of Ookami's infamous IYxK fic "Turnabout is Fair Play," but I'm not sure if she ever finished it. And I know Urdchan has "Temple of the Dog," but I never got around to reading it. If you have any other recs, send them my way.
