So, Christmas has past and it's a new year. School has started, it's cold as hell - though it is supposed to be warmer soon - and I have a cute little garlic sprout, 'cause I wanted to plant something. (I get planting urges sometimes. I'm a very planty person.) I also got several awesome CD's for Christmas, and have been listening to two of them ever since.
Because Sparks is that awesome. Anyway. Thus is my life, but now on to the interesting stuff. Fandomy stuff.
I've sorta started a series of drabblish things (read: got hit in the head with an idea and some prose yesterday) based around an idea I've had for years now. In Yuugiou, all of the characters are weird. From the Mad Scientist Seto Kaiba to the brilliant Game King Yuugi Mouto, these are not normal people. More ever, these are very public people, whose faces are plastered everywhere in their world.
So what do they look like to those who are normal? To those normal, average people who aren't tangled up in Egypt and Shadow and Magic? What does Kaiba look like to his millions of fans? What does Yuugi look like to those who watch his every duel with rapt attention? What does Jou look like now to one of his former fellow gangsters?
After all, not everyone they meet is going to be a psychopath, Egyptian or otherwise, out for their blood. Despite what it looks like in the canon.
So that is the basis of this series of drabblish things - I'm not sure on the length, yet. The characters of Yuugiou, though the eyes of the normal people. It's an idea that's been bouncing around in my head for a few years now, 'cause it's interesting, but I've never been able to turn it into a full fic. So I'm doing drabbles.
It'll also have the sorta rebirth of an old OC from a Kaiba fic I never finished. Not by name, 'cause frankly I can't remember what I named him. Hmm...I may write that series of stories now. Will have to think about that, now.
So yes. I will try to get those written soon, and posted.
