Deadlines and junk

[ciircee]

Ah, I meant to pimp this earlier but...the short story contest ohmiya ends today. Get an entry in if you can. ;___; I don't know that I will. My brain is sort of NOT WORKING.

sei_shoku is also going to be runing a contest because Nino's birthday is coming up and He has cute hands

Ps: Moar shoneenclub spam, plz. C'mon, you guys know you want to write the Sho-Nino bffery.

ALSO. ruisetsuna is fantastic. She drew Heart-shaped Ohmiya, girl!Ohmiya (yes, I like my boyband as girls), and animal!Arashi. And in between those is some Matsujun sparkling and some Aiba/Jun and HI I LIKE ART, OKAY?

Which reminds me that everybody should check out the art over at the Road Trip's Fanart Masterlist.

And regarding arashiroadtrip... It really amazes me. It started as comment spam over at Tiina's and now it's 45 parts, has a word count of over 50k, and no real end in sight because there is so much we haven't explored (and other famous people we haven't roped in). And it's not like we plan things out as a group. I don't think anybody really talks to anybody about what's going to happen 'next' (sometimes 'next' is set years in the past) and somehow the whole thing just keeps going and keeps being awesome.

omg ok
all these links bring me so much joy, but holy mother of -- arashiroadtrip? SO MUCH WIN I cannot even comprehend it. We're getting really close to a big move in the universe, I feel, and since we don't talk to each other about it (I wonder if we should start to... but then I really like the spontaneity and surprise that we give each other as it is not), I wonder who is going to take the initiative to make that decision. XDDDD

Well, everyone is really awesome in that community so I'm sure no matter what ends up happening, we're only going to make more awesome from it. ♥

Are you planning to enter the Birthday fic contest? *3*

I think things are definitely getting more complicated in the sense of the timeline gaps and where everything fits - and definitely what the next move is, I have to admit, I wanted to test things out in that area, but still be able to pull it back, because I don't know what everyone else wants. I think maybe we should even just do a writer-filtered post in someone's journal - everyone has everyone else friended, right? - and just get each other to post anonmously their short summary of 'the next steps'. I think that, at least, should probably be something we plan out a little. It doesn't have to be a definite roadmap, but actually just seeing where everyone is at on that wavelength.

I love arashiroadtrip SO MUCH. I also love that it has none of the frustration I've had before with fic rotation comms becase a) I'm working with the very best and everyone's writing is amazing, b) everyone's really easygoing and fun and cares a lot about the universe we're creating and c) seems to be on the same wavelength for where we've taken the story. It's just the best fun. I'm so happy. ♥

I think that's a great idea. In the past we've been okay with writing whatever we like, but I think this next part is a BIG STEP and it'd be good to not start something that would spectaculatily ruin someone else's expectations. I'm pretty sure we all kind of feel this wariness, which is why we've sort of been stalling in that comm l-lol.

maybe we should plan something... i've been staying quiet because i honestly have no idea how it's going to go and i've been kind of waiting for someone else to write it, hah.

You too, huh? I was really hoping I could just post Part 45 and let someone else deal with the aftermath. ;____;
