Writing again

[owaranai_natsu]

...or at least, trying to. I've joined je_ficgames and sign-ups are still up, so definitely try that out. Their teams this year is Present, Future, and AU and the prompts will be based on famous Johnny's quotes. I've never done this before, but I think it'll be fun :D
I've also joined the Kaleidoscope Challenge with darkagenda which promotes chromatic (people of color) fandoms, like our lovely Asian drama community :) I think it's hard to find drama!fic, so this is a nice way to promote that. If you're up for a challenge, it's still in the nomination phase so you can pick sources, so long as they're both made by and feature chromatic characters. I think they can make exceptions if the creator is not of color, but it might not be approved. Like, I nominated Sunshine because half its main crew is colored, but it was created by Danny Boyle and it's not guarantee it'll be accepted. Worth a shot -I couldn't think of anything else to nominate that I wanted to write/read.

Oh! And I also just finished another writing challenge recently, not_primetime, and I wrote and received Firefly fic! :D/
I signed up for pinch-hit notifications, and found out that nobody could write for me...But in the end, the mods are great and found me someone and even wrote a treat for me <3
Both were character pieces, the first one being really reflective and beautiful, and the second being light and playful.

And to complete this entry, here's a meme I picked up from carmine_pink a while back :)
- Go to page 7 of your current WIP. (If you haven't gotten that far, go to the last page you've written.)
- Go to line 7.
- Copy down the next 7 lines, sentences or paragraphs and post them exactly as they are written. No cheating.
- Tag 7 authors in your f-list. Do it if you want. :)

Just to give you some context, this was originally a draft idea for 2011's je_otherworlds challenge, where Koyama and Ryo come from two different yakuza families and rankings, but they fall in love.

"Do you remember when we first met, face to face, I mean?" Koyama asked as he slowly traced the tattoo spanning Ryo's back, following the dragon's scales, paying close attention to every stroke of ink.

Ryo would never admit how good that felt, closing his eyes, and letting the sensation lull him, as he drifted back to that memory. “How could I not forget, you practically made a fool out of me.”

(flashback narration)

We had been talking back and forth for several years now. Exchanging information on different people, discussing ballistics, talking about the recent change in government elects and finding loopholes in new laws. All in all, we had some good conversations.

lol.. I don't think I could pull off writing yakuza realistically, so I dropped the idea xD
