Raving mad and somewhat slightly dazed

Now, everyone who is familiar with Death Note either knows or will soon about the Xantos Roulette of Light's that leads up to That Which Shall Not Be Spoiled. In the series itself, this plan worked out without a hitch. Almost suspiciously so. So, between me and saint_archie, we came up with a list of places that it could have gone wrong. (If nothing else, slowed it down quite a bit.)

Credit for these is split between Arch and I. Some of them have commentary, some don't. And all are, of course, spoilerific

This is a ficlet I started a few months ago, left alone, and then finished this past week. I've put off posting it because I'm really unsure about Light's characterization, especially at the end. Any advice or help would be greatly appreciated.



Title: Snow

Type: Ficlet

Rating: PG

Timing: Handcuff arc.

Pairing: None

Spoilers: Through Handcuff arc

 

Like I said, Light's kinda iffy...Serria (I constantly misspell your name, you know...), you're good with him. Any advice?

1.  Iz snowing, so I don't have musical rehearsal tonight. I am both relieved and worried. We start performing in a week and a half. We haven't made any props or practiced cues. Eep.

2. Spent most of today working on the outline for that novel I swear I'm going to finish and my friends refuse to stop poking me until I do. My inspiration goes in phases - I'm coming off of a fanfiction kick and will now work on original stuffs. After I  finish those drabbles.

I spent a good twenty minutes in discussion on what Light and L's hand dominances are, and the potential symbolic significance thereof. I am now considering organizing my thoughts into an lj post/essay.

...God that's so geeky.

*sigh* Ah well.

This is that AU - or at least the start of it - that I was talking about last post. Now, before I start it, I have a few words, just as a preface of sorts.

Now, it is only fair and right to, when writing and especially when writing fanfiction, try to keep your own philosophical opinions out of the story as much as possible unless they fit in with the source material. That's just good writing, and in most series it's not that much of an issue. However, in DN it is near impossible to keep your philosophical opinions out of it, because with I suspect that part of the point of the series was to get people thinking about right and wrong and such. There's no way to keep your philosophy out of it, because the series is about philosophy.  Thus, I won't really bother trying.  So, yes, I will write this according to my philosophy and my understanding of right and wrong. All of you reading this may not agree with it, but I cannot write it according to anyone's understanding but my own.

...I hope that makes sense.

Anyway, on to the fic.

Title: at the moment, Justice.

Timing: Second half, but exactly when I'm not sure.

Pairing: None, maybe implied Light/L. Maybe.

Rating: I'm not sure. Probably no higher than pg-13, though.

...Yea, can you tell that this is a new idea in my head? It's very rough....It'll get polished more once I've heard y'all's opinion on it.
