It's Tobli Time!

azuriteI've discovered a splendiferously wonderous way of finding Seto x Anzu fics, and it's shockingly easy to do. At FFnet, abuse the Character 1 and Character 2 options. Mix and match either of them as "Seto K." and "Anzu M." and you're bound to come up with some great fics. I'm not lying... I found The Night Before there last night, and what a great read it is! *giggles* Kysra and Atlantis might have some competition when it comes to steam!
Yes, I will be posting WDKY19 tomorrow just in case you missed the memo about me posting it on Seto's birthday. And WDKY20 is almost done (!!!) so that might be coming soon, too. And I can't wait, because it really starts getting good in the 20s chapters! Bwahaha... Bakura returns, Marik's secret may be revealed, and Mai and Téa go to a duelist tournament in my hometown!
I'm still impatient for Pierce to get their Winter 2006 class schedule up, but Scott said I would be overwhelmed if I tried to cram more than 3-6 units into a one-month intersession. He's probably right, but considering I have 18 units before I'm officially upper division and a junior (60 units with no lower division GEs left to take) and that does NOT include any Journalism (major), Japanese, or Creative Writing (minors), I'm afraid of what my potential course schedule might look like next semester. For sure:
* JOUR 310 - WRP3 (3)
* JOUR 371 - Women, Men, and the Media (3)
* JOUR 331 - Graphics (2)
* JAPN 102/C - Intermediate Japanese (4)
* Some GE class or Creative Writing course (3)
My unit cap is 19 units. I know I can handle 15, but 19 MIGHT be pushing it. And it could be true that I don't need to have that many units completed; I could just have 60 units under my belt and be fine. If I've calculated everything out right (and I think I have; I discovered my AP US History test counted for 2 separate courses; one in Title V, and one in GE History) then I'll have 55 units at the end of THIS semester, and any classes I take next semester will make me a junior by the following Fall. I should try not to worry, but I have to see my adviser again and clear up this confusion.
What else? Oh yes, I passed my Driver's Ed Direct final exam~ I'm now officially ready to take the written DMV test to get my "provisional license" or whatever, and then after X hours of behind-the-wheel training I can get a REAL license! >:O! *determined* However, I only passed the exam with an 85%, so I'm going to take it again until I do better. :P
Wahaha, I feel all naughty for reading this fic (see above)-- it reminds me of when I was about 11 or 12 and my only 'Net access was at the Petaluma Library with my dad, and I did TEH EBIL and read Sexylyon's infamous Sailormoon hentai "Interlude" (and printed it out!), constantly terrified that I would get caught and lectured-- if not by a librarian, then by my dad! This fic isn't hentai, but mischiefmagnet does a DAMN good job at getting me to turn red and giggle like a madwoman. :P (Especially since Mokuba just-- oh, never mind, just read the damn story.)

Fic Review (blush)
Date: 2005-10-25 03:07 am (UTC)Well, I ended up winding my way to your LiveJournal after receiving your extremely flattering review of my story, 'The Night Before'. Wow, I'm glad you liked it! And yes, I DO enjoy getting lengthy reviews; especially when they contain inslghtful little comments as yours did.
For example...you mentioned that the flashbacks seemed at times confusing. This has been causing me a tremendous amount of worry ever since the plotline of the story exceeded a year. I feel as though I need to go back through the chapters and edit the flashback headings so that they make a little bit more chronological sense. I was glad that you mentioned it, even if you meant that they were confusing in a different sense than the one I've been contemplating. Maybe now I can motivate myself to actually push ahead with a little bit of tweaking where that's concerned.
And in reference to the characters and their complicated emotional behavior...well, there was a sort of real-life genesis for the plotline. Even though the true story isn't nearly as wrenching or dramatic as what Seto and Anzu have been going through, I admit that at least part of the time what one or the other of them is feeling comes directly from my own experience. Feh, being embroiled in some kind of fate-charmed, pseudo long-distance, often mind and heart confusing 'relationship' can really produce some weird results once a girl gets her pen to the paper. Believe me. If they seem mature and immature at the same time, that's probably some of the author's attributes and insecurities coming through onto the page (guilty smile).
Anyhow, I was honored to receive the review, and I'm happy to say I'll probably be sticking around reading and writing this pairing for quite some time. For whatever reason, I can't seem to sustain an interest in anything else these days, fan fiction wise. I can understand your delight at the way the S x A pairing seems to be growing. Considering the amount of steam it seems to have gained over the past, oh, year or so that I've been hanging around reading the fics and posting, I can only imagine what it must have been like when those first few Seto x Anzu fics came out. All I can hope is that everyone just keeps plugging away!
