Hey guise.

I'm feeling somewhat better... the good thing about debate camp is that all the work really keeps your mind off stuff.

( cut )

In perhaps more relevant news, I've tried to find a bit of time to write because I think it should help. I finished a couple original things, including several limericks, but they'll go up later. For now, another theme:

Theme #4: Picture Perfect
Title: Picture Perfect

( Doumeki could be picture-perfect )

Finished another drabble. Lazed around. Did SAT prep, studied Chinese, practiced debate, played chess. Saw Step Brothers- it was surprisingly funny, actually. I enjoyed it. I need to kick my ass back into shape before school starts, but I'm so lazy. Anyone have any tips?

I also finished the first season of Firefly. IT WAS AMAZING. IT WAS SO SO SO SO GOOD. Now I have to find the next DVD, because the first one only had the first three episodes, but the video store didn't have it. T.T This is a great loss for Arikind. I must find it. so I have a small crush on Captain Reynolds. And maybe want to be Kaylee. Who doesn't?

So on with the drabble. I'm questioning the title, so let me know if you have any suggestions.

Theme 11: Pen
Title: Indigo

( Is Indigo an appropriate title for this? )

Let me get this straight- while I was gone, they killed 4chan, Smoke got abused, KuroFai was trolled, and badfic became an encouraged commodity. See, this is why we can't have nice things. Anyway, the Chinese government has lj blocked, so I'm totally swamped now trying to catch up. China was amazing, though- really beautiful and I had a great time. While I managed not to get hit by any tanks, the city I flew out of, Kunming, was bombed the day before. Figures, right?

Anywho, I have plenty of backlogged writing that I need to catch up on. Part one is finishing my fifty themes, one of which I now present to you:

Title: Misused
Theme 12: Ink

( Yi heng, yi shu )

Back to my 50 themes. I swear I'll finish them if they kill me, which they and school very well might.

But really, I love Yuuko. And the theme "butterfly" just begs Yuuko-intervention. And it was Independence Day on Greece when I wrote this, so that's where the closing line comes from.

Theme 6: Butterfly
Title: Trouble

( Hey! I followed a theme! )

Theme 31: Spiral
Title: Tailspin
( ...a dangerous downward spiral. )

Every plane I've been on this weekend has been at least an hour delayed. This has given me much fic-writing time, much of which I squandered. However, I has results!

I got a chapter done on CLAMP and the Quest for the Holy Feathers. I'm putting links to all the chapters, too, because I'm sure everyone's forgotten it.

Title: CLAMP and the Quest for the Holy Feathers (5/14)
Author: Ari
Genre: CRACK!
A/N: An (obviously ) AU Monty Python and the Holy Grail. It will begin following the original plotline, but should deviate as I go on. I’ve fit as much Python humor and Python lines in as I could, to satisfy the purists.

( Chapter 1 )

( Chapter 2 )

( Chapter 3 )

( Chapter 4 )

( At last! chapter 5 )

And THEN, I did another 50 themes!

Theme #19: Burn
Title: Soup

( It )

What is this? Clearly someone has possessed me.

Well, this is my obligatory Valentine's Day fic, late as I usually am, and with a The Princess Bride reference FTW! I did promise, smoke.

Onwards to the fluff!

Theme #20: Blossom
Title: Dazzled

( 'I sympathize.' )

With the theme-taking liberties. Mugestu is not a dragon. This failed to stop me. Wahever. I'll pretend it's a metaphor or something.

This is the fluffiest thing I've written in ages. I'm not sure where it came from. And it has basically no plot. But I like it anyways. Whatever, again.

#48: Dragons
Title: Battles

( In Watanuki's antithesis-of-normal life... )

First off: You know how you're supposed to check your work in math? Yeah, in writing I hear you call it editing. Either way, I don't do it.
Second of all: I don't think this is creative at all. Because I'm burned out. But I'm trying to do at least one theme a week now, if it kills me. After these, I must finish my Monty Python AU. I must.
Third: The theme is empty box. What's wrong with that? I specifically talk about WHAT'S IN THE BOXES. Damn it, Ari fails. And she's talking in third person.
Fourth: I don't even think this makes sense. In fact, I'm pretty sure it doesn't. The theory behind it is that Watanuki keeps on forgetting things, like how he's forgotten his past. But that wasn't going to fit in a hundred words.

Oh well.

Theme #18: Empty Box
Title: Chopsticks

( ..but he left the chopsticks. )

Finally, ☆ The Fanficcers Love Meme ☆

# 28: an overflowing cup
Title: The Last Dream
A/N: I’d virtually abandoned my 50 themes, but I really want to finish them! So I flash-wrote this one- and it's pretty rough. I’d really like to hear some concrit, if you guys have time to leave a review.

( ...spilling all over the counter and down the sides… )

I finished two of them just yesterday. They're up on fanfic.net and at DouWata too... although I'm kinda depressed because no one there reviewed. Those little zeros make me sad. I did get 2 ffnet reviews though, so whatever.

Here's the first one, #46: Another Bottle.

Title: How to Deal
Summary: One has to have a coping mechanism of some sort.
Genre: Drama, Romance
Characters/Pairings: DouWata, yuuko, Unnamed Future-Person
AN: More angst than usual, bust still not angst at ALL. I have this complete inability to write it. Note: referenced character death.

( Stacked green-glass pyramids.. )

And #14: Wine

Theme #14: Wine
Title: To Define Forever
Summary: To eternity and glittering, glimmering green.
Genre: Drama/Light Angst? This is probably as close as I’ll ever get, which is to say, not very explicit angst, but written in a depressing tone.
A/N: Again with the implied character death.
( ”Forever?” )

Zop. It's been a while... I've been busy, but I do promise to update more now. In fact, I have an update right here- Theme 47, I believe in.

Title: Disaster # 104
Author: Ari
Genre:Fluff.
Rating: K
Summary: He's so used to saving Watanuki, it doesn't even phase him anymore. Hell, it doesn't phase Watanuki himself anymore.
A/N: Another installment of my drabble collection for the 50 themes. Title inspired, yes, by Mambo #5. Written directly after 142 came out, and thus could be seen as taking place in that general sequence, although there are no actual spoilers. Not so sure the Douwata came through clear enough on this one. It's more.. implied, rather than being tangible.

( Theme )

Theme 34: Spare Me
Title: Love/Hate Relationship
Author:Ari
Summary: Really. How dense could she get?
Rating:K
Genre: humor, mild romance

( Being )

Good god, I am absolutely prolific today. Here's 104 theme 24, Mirror. ( Whole )
