Was kinda meh this morning, so I asked my mom to buy me a Vietnamese spring roll while she was out. The store closed early, but she did get me a burger (not the shit stores like McDonald's sells, but burgers will real ground beef, lettuce, and tomatoes). Felt better when I was eating.

Thanks, mom.

Welcome to Creative Writer!
This is your official welcome mat, an introduction to the fun which is our community and an entreaty for you to join in.

How does it work?
Creative Writer is an online version of a writers' group. While writing itself is usually a solitary occupation, what all writers need is contact with other people who can give feedback, answer questions and, as with all professions, provide guidance and a learning environment. While all artists create their work, they can't create in a vacuum.
A writers group provides that environment. Here you are able to post excerpts from your work and receive feedback, here you can learn from other writers, here you can contribute to others, here is a safe place to grow your talent.
So welcome to Creative Writer! Jump in, have some fun, any questions, feel free to ask at any time.

Theme for Week 61! Fake Smiles

Most of Fai's smiles are fake; in fact, nearly all of them before Nihon. However, the icons for this challenge must feature Fai and one of his more obviously-fake smiles. So, pretty much make whatever icons you want before Nihon, and the mods will tell you if they're not fake enough. 8Db

This sums up the show pretty well. (Also the only pictures I could find of the main two performers. Bah. Those guys deserve more credit.)

Wonder if I get the same hero as the first time around ;)

I will write you fic!

Any fandom of mine (though I do not promise quality for older fandoms or ones I have never done fic for; actually I DO NOT PROMISE QUALITY AT ALL) is fair game.

Please give me: character(s) or relationship, an adjective, AND a phrase (dialogue bit, song lyric, random sentence, etc.).

Any given fic may be anywhere from one sentence to a thousand words! IT IS PART OF THE EXCITEMENT.

No more than two prompts per person at a time (i.e. until I have written the ones you already gave me).

Fandoms eligible: Avatar, Buffyverse, Death Note, Escaflowne, Gundam Wing, Inuyasha Ouran, Princess Tutu, and Sailor Moon.

Also anyone have anime recs, I may actually try and get into something new, now that Avatar will be over soon, I feel like I can take up something new. I am not the biggest shounen fan, and I am looking for things that are short and without the likelihood of being dragged on forever.

Happy fourth of July to the Americans on my flist!
