Fanfic Recommendations
Apr. 5th, 2007 10:35 amJust a few fanfic recommendations:
Death by Chocolate by Beth Einspanier
Series: CSI/Charlie and the Chocolate Factory (2005 movie) Crossover
Rating: T/PG-13
Location: Fanfiction.net
Status: Complete
Summary: A young man is found in the desert, having been drowned in chocolate. Who would want him dead, and what does he have to do with a reclusive chocolatier from London?
Comments: The crossover idea sounds insane, but the story is excellent. Not only does the author pull off this improbable clash of realities in a believable manner, she writes a really great mystery too. There are plenty of suspects, plenty of motives, and I have to admit that I was surprised by the outcome. I've never watched CSI, but this came recommended from one of my favorite crossover authors, Mandolin, and it doesn't disappoint.
Ticking Time Bomb Baby by Omni82
Series: Rurouni Kenshin
Rating: T/PG-13
Location: Fanfiction.net
Status: Complete (more could be added, but what is there stands alone)
Summary: With every other potential babysitter refusing to deal with Kenji ever again, Kenshin finds himself left alone for a day with his demon spawn.
Comments: This is absolutely hysterical. I absolutely love the little "quirks" Kenji has picked up from all his past babysitters. The only downside is that the second chapter chronicaling Kenji's earlier stay with Sano and Megumi fell a little flat for me. I'm not sure why. Some of the jokes in it were a bit too risque for my taste, but, mostly, it just seemed to lack the overall wit of the first installment. But, the first chapter is brilliant, and I highly recommend it.
Yes,![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
mintysage that summary is for you since I know how you feel about Kenji ;)
The Legend of Drunken Matrimony by S. Sakurai
Series: One Piece
Rating: T/PG-13
Location: Fanfiction.net
Status: Complete
Summary: The island of Rakuen may not be crawling with thugs and despots, but it still boasts an insidious danger to the Straw-Hat Pirates. After a night of inhibition-free revelry, have the cook and the thief turned into the wife and her lover?
Comments: Yeah, it sounds like the setup for any number of the semi-serious romantic dramas out there. But, it's not semi-serious, romantic or drama. It's One Piece. Everyone is in character, and the wackiness that makes One Piece so awesome is going in full swing.
After the BoneEater's Well by Bons Baisers
Series: Inuyasha (hypothetical post-series)
Rating: M/R for violence and adult themes
Location: Fanfiction.net
Status: 22 Chapters - Work In-Progress
Summary: Seven years after the well was destroyed, Kagome learns that there's still hope to see Inuyasha again. But, to get to him, she has to go through a fanatical society devoted to the destruction of all magical creatures. Not to mention accept the help of Sesshoumaru and some even more unusual allies.
Comments: The summary above is my own. I saved the author's summary (a portion of it) to sum up what sets this fanfic apart from the many other, "Kagome is trapped in her time and somehow re-meets Inuyasha," fanfics out there. What is it? What does this fanfic have that the others don't? "Fanatics, clones, a reformed Sesshoumaru, and an adorable baby Inu." Yeah. And, let me tell you, you gotta love the clones. Six is my favorite, but Goliath's a close second. I'll try not to give anything away, but, so far, this fanfic has been wonderfully different, and I've enjoyed every minute of it.
It also made me attempt fanart of Six and One and Goliath - all character designs very tentative and sketchy.

Updating and Squeeing
Aug. 24th, 2006 10:58 amWebsite Updates: The SWAT Kats Fanfiction Archive is updated! And, on time no less!
Fangirling/Fan-ish Chatter: Just some responses to recent developments in fandoms/series I follow.
SWAT Kats - Matt finished Timeless! ::happy gibber::
This Week's Inuyasha Chapter, 470 - Sesshoumaru does have a heart! One that's finally grown a size or two. And, forget Meidou Zangetsuha, is it me or is he thiiiis close to finally using Tenseiga's ultimate power to restore a hundred lives?! I hopehope. I'm still hoping for a Tenseiga ex machina if anyone dies in the final battle.
The Current One Piece Arc - One Piece is love. It's as comically random as "Animaniacs" at its finest, but it's got such great serious moments too. And, the Water 7/Enies Lobby Arc is thus far proving to be one of its best. Every third episode just makes me want to sit up and cheer.

A Not Quite Abnormous Sketch Post
Jan. 23rd, 2006 11:33 pmSketchiness: Just some recent quick sketches and one finished pic.
Modern Inuyasha - A colored version of my modern Inuyasha. (Yes, I like cargo pants and put them on everyone if possible. I wish I could find some in my size.)
Annoyance - Just a quick sketch. Shippou takes a snooze... on Inuyasha's head.
Sango and Miroku - Another quick sketch, this time of Sango and Miroku. Done mostly without reference though I did have a manga image of Sango in her "battle" outfit to look at for her hair and eyes.
Luffy Grin - Random little doodle of Luffy from "One Piece".
**Yes, I meant to type "abnormous" up there.seekersks and mbimomma will understand.
