So here's my ART Week 2 round up, a few days late. I wanted to say RL blinded me with SCIENCE, but actually it just blindsided me in the latter half of the week, which made it impossible to get into the proper mindset for writing Iroh. Still managed to get 800 over words from him, so I'm still counting that as a triumph

I also pecked a little at Lunar Eclipse and Sam/Faye, and that's the real reason why I can announce my total word count as 1,234 words (I KID YOU NOT), which works out to an average of 205 words over 6 days.

Ten assigned me a penance prompt anyway, and I nattered at voices in my head for 500 over words. WISH ME LUCK IN WRITING MORE STUFF! =D

In the meantime, writing meme!!

( Days 1 to 17 )


18. Favorite antagonist and why!

Is it cheating if I say Hollow Ichigo from Bleach? =) In a way it is, because Hollow Ichigo is basically the evil version of the main character of Bleach. Only you know, he's in Ichigo's head. And is a source of power he badly needs in order to win his current fights.

What makes him my favourite is that he's a physical manifestation of all the dark parts of the hero that make him who he is. To me, he isn't some bad guy that is simply defeated, or that Ichigo can run away from. He IS Ichigo, he IS the hero, if the hero is allowed to be petty and hurtful and not care about who he hurts.

I'm also a big fan of storylines where the hero isn't perfect and has to accept his imperfections. Right now Ichigo is so far on the other spectrum of accepting this that it isn't funny. And that's part of the reason why Lunar Eclipse keeps bugging my brain - I want Ichigo and his internal antagonist to work together. They're literally two sides of the same coin. Which means that Hollow Ichigo keeps bugging my head, and I have to like him. *grins*

Also, on a completely shallow front, I find him cute. =D


( Days 19 to 30 )

tenebris did this really cool meme - 30 days of writing that I've been checking out. I thought it might be fun if I did it too!

( The meme )

And to kick off the meme proper, here's question 1:
Tell us about your favorite writing project/universe that you've worked with and why.

To be honest, I haven't played in a particular verse long enough as I usually prefer one-shots, and the only one I've constantly revisited isn't even mine, it's tenebris' Covert verse. But if I had to choose one verse out of all the backstories/worldbuilding that I've dreamed up of for my one-shots, it's the Three-Quarters of a Dark Moon verse. The idea of a voluntary Ichigo-Hollow Ichigo partnership tickled me ever since I wrote this 31_days drabble a few years ago, and spinning it out (in an IchiRuki way) into Three-Quarters, and then Tube of Love was fun.

But that's also why I want to get Lunar Eclipse - where Hollow Ichigo challenges Rukia on who has the right to be Ichigo's partner! - written, because I want to draw the two ideas together. I guess it's the potential of this verse that keeps me coming back, because canon!Ichigo is so adament that all his Hollow wants to do is eat him that a non-antagonistic relationship between them is nigh possible. But isn't the what-ifs what fic is for?

I do have a couple of original fic ideas - right now the one with an immortal and a reincarnating better half is the one dominating my brain, but I haven't written a single word of it. It's a fun story to spec when I want to do something easy though.


And now to put the above into practice! tenebris, hallowd and I did a challenge called the TAR challenge earlier this year, in which we set daily word counts and tried to meet them. We had so much fun encouraging each other to meet those daily word counts that we decided to do it again! Only this time, we're calling it the ART challenge - still the same old initials, but only in a nicer order =)

For the TAR challenge, I set 100 words a day, which I met easily. So this time round for the ART challenge I'll be making an attempt to write 200 words a day. Admittedly I'm a little busier this time, but I don't think it would be much of a problem. I'll report in weekly, probably Saturdays, so you know which fic the 200 daily words are going to.

Right! See you tomorrow with the 200 words and another quesiton of the writing meme then!
