Title: Tokyo Tower
Fandom: JE, NEWS
Characters: Ryo, Massu (the rest of NEWS shows up)
Summary: Ryo wonders about people. Lately, he's been wondering about Massu, and that bugs him to no end.
Notes: So sometimes I just think too much. I love both Massu and Ryo, but I think they are the two that less interact with each other in NEWS, probably because they don't have enough common ground? Anyway, I read in Koyama's nikki once that Massu didn't know the name of Tokyo Tower and had never been there. I don't know If that has changed since, but I decided to use it here ^^


( I don't get you )

OK, so I've not write regularly here for a while. I could say I've been busy, and it would be true, but I've also made time to watch a bunch of stuff, so the truth is I've only been antisocial.

The bigger part of last week I acted like a good student and did all my homework during the week vacation that never felt like one, and I was a dutiful family member taking care of things while my parents were away looking at flowers in the desert. I was grumpy as hell. I think I snapped at my grandma everyday at least once, and my brothers too, even though no one took notice of my mood. That should tell you how we usually get along!

I did leave the house for other reason beside grocery shopping, and that was to get together with Berni and Cesar and do some window shopping downtown. Fun, really, really fun.

I also ended up watching the finale of ReGenesis, that I didn't know it was the finale until I watched it, cus, really, you don't get more final than that (except for that time when everything went BOOM). It was... interesting. There's a lot of reasons why I loved this show, starting for the fact it was Canadian-based and had a multi-racial cast. But mostly, because it was about science like science should be, exciting and twisted and opening new doors to understand the world better. I was never good at science in school, I still suck at it, but I find it fascinating. I'm pretty sure this show went very much to the science fiction side of things, but it used all those myths and desires the scientific community would love to prove real and possible. It helped a lot that the characters were interesting and so incredible human even though they were super smart and you didn't know what were they talking about half the time. True, it was a procedural show when you couldn't phantom a guest as how things came to be and how to end it, but it was so appealing and I loved that it was never one plague or virus at a time, but several showing up all over the place between Mexico, the US and Canada. Great, great tv show. I'm gonna miss it.

I could talk about the new season, but so far the only decent season premiere was NCIS, I think. House was OK, but it's boring me fast, and Heroes... Uhm, I don't know yet. Of the new shows, I may watch Fringe, if only because Joshua Jackson is in it and I had a crush on him since the first Ducks movie.

Wait, I almost forgot! SPN!! Of course that was a good one! How is it I've come to love this show so much? I guess is for the pretty and the twisted and the fact that the cast and the crew, and mostly, the writers, know how pretty the two leads are and abuse it every single time. And Jared and Jensen are living together now, which I know is driving fans crazy with joy!

I have more homework to do, can you see I'm stalling? Gah, I want to fangirl about NEWS properly and their winter tour. And complain that Arashi is doing the theme song for Ryo and Nino's new drama, it's seriously annoying me, I wanted Kanjani8 doing it, or someone else altogether! I love Nino and Arashi, but I find it a little unfair. Also, is having both leads on this drama touring while they film the drama a good idea? Please, Ryo-chan, after this, take a BREAK! With Pi! To celebrate his graduation! Take Jin with you and make fans write lots and lots of porn cus seriously, it's lacking lately, almost nobody has been writing!

And yes, I plan on working on the stuff I promised to work on this weekend. I need to write that fic for je_holiday soon!

Anything else? I'm in love with Mizukawa Asami. She just keep showing up everywhere! I gave up! Now I love her even more than Inoue Mao. She's just that cool and pretty and awesome.

I've been distracting myself lately (the last two days or so) being very, very dirty and reading seriously kinky smut. I myself didn't even know I liked to read that kind of stuff until I got my hands on it. I specially enjoyed a horrible one where Jin and Ryo are farmers and Pi is a cow. I am SO not kidding with this. I would give the link, but you have to join the community to read it, so if you want it, ask me. Like I said, I actually liked it, it was very well developed, but it was kinky as hell, and full on non-con.

How come I've never before enjoy reading this stuff, but now I do? Because is based on real people? I guess it could be, as twisted as that is. I have always had a hard time being able to read kinky stuff with anime, it doesn't appeal to me. Maybe on Weiss, but that's because, once again, the story is made for that, as it is for the angsty-angst, and the character deaths, and everyone being psychos. There are other animes and mangas out there that are even more fucked up, but I can't get myself to like them like I like Weiss, because Weiss manages a balance between the freaky-ness, and the right on dorky-ness. Weiss is silly in a lot of ways, just like it is awful and dark in others. The other stories are just plain horrible and depressing.

So I had no interested in kinky, fucked up fics in any other of my fandoms. Save the occasional fic here and there that is well written enough to survive my screen test to read, but I don't remember any right of the bat, so they really weren't that great. But then... then I got interested in JE. And I enjoy crack, and general angst, and romance (if it is good enough) and lots of member ai fics. I even get action fics with the AUs. Then, I start to read porn just for the sake of reading porn. And I like it. A lot. But that's OK, these are real people, so is easier to picture them having sex and it isn't just "characters", they aren't drawings.

But the kinky, seriously disturbing, not nice at all half the time non-con sex with an excuse? I've come to like that? Gah, there's something wrong with me. I can understand the reasons for writing them, though. It's good for experimental purposes when writing, and it helps as stress relief. Better write it than do it, right? I think I wrote two stories in the Digimon fandom with this plot. They weren't really long and they were, in all truth, experimentations with my writing. I was never really explicit, in any case. Both stories ended up in murder, too. But the only real story OF murder I wrote didn't really have a murder at all, because the guy dead was just an invention of one of the character's mind. Or something like that. It was a very complicated story.

I guess I have to come to terms with this. Will I ever *write* one of those stories again in this new fandom I'm in now? I don't know. I don't think I have the time to write something twisted like that, even if some ideas come to mind easily. I think of the time because it would take twice as long to write it and then make sure it actually makes sense. Awful and dark as those stories are, they only work if the writer is skilled enough to do them. If not, is a bunch of nonsense that doesn't survive anyone's screening tests.

Title: Study Group
Fandom: JE, NEWS, KAT-TUN
Characters: Nakamaru, Massu, the rest of NEWS
Summary: Nakamaru is desperate for a place to study in peace. Massu may be the one to find it for him.
Notes: For the Massu-thon. Prompt nº57, ANYTHING INVOLVING MASSU AND NAKAMARU BEING CUTE AND BFF-Y. They're not exactly cute, but Massu getting Nakamaru what he needed works the BFF part!

( Now, ending up like this he didn't expect )

Title: Dating?
Fandom: JE, TegoMass
Characters: Massu, Tegoshi
Summary: Tegoshi finally pops the question.
Notes: This is for tsubasa_lupin, fluff-y tegomass for you!

( Ne, Massu, are we dating? )

Title: Singing, Acting, Eating And Doing The Hip Roll Together
Fandom: JE, NEWS, KAT-TUN
Characters: Jin, Massu (plus Yamapi, Ryo, the rest of NEWS, Nakamaru, the Shirota brothers, and mentions of the rest of KAT-TUN and Jin's brother)
Notes: For the Massu-thon, even if it is more about Jin than Massu. It involves a little bit of every prompt with Jin in it, but it started as a response to nº16 Jin tries to teach Massu how to dance.

( YOU, work together! )

Title: Moody
Fandom: JE, NEWS
Characters: Yamapi, Massu
Summary: Different groups deal with moodiness differently.
Notes: So I fail at writing Massu alone. My apologies to cynicalism, I'll keep trying! I just wanted to point some similarities in the differences between my two favorite Johnnys.

( How to deal with shitty moods )

Title: Three Years
Fandom: Gachi Baka!
Pairing: Kouta/Kana
Summary: It takes Kouta three years and some magic to finally go to Africa.
Notes: Even if I don't like Kana that much, I wanted Kouta to get the girl, if only for a little while.

( It took him three years to get to this point. )

Finally I'm back to this. Sorry for the delay.

This post comes after this reason and this one.

This next reason to love NEWS is a lot more subjective than the two before, so I wanted to look around a little more before talking about it. It is, probably, the second best reason for me to be passionate about something. Most of the stuff I enjoy in the net have a big relation to this. Because, what's a good book, movie, tv show, comic or boyband without a great FANDOM?



( Reason nº2! )

This is for Daniela, to feel a little better if her PC is giving her trouble.

Three great fics about threesomes! (and at least one of them is more than just pseudo-porn!)


The Moon is Made of Green Cheese by whyjennifer
Tsubasa/Yamapi/Takki (cus you know that would be awesome!)


Bittersweet Symphony by superlover
Yamapi/Jin/Ryo (my favorite OT3 and my favorite fic of them!)


Friendship by mirrorspy
Another Pi/Jin/Ryo (I've read a LOT of this three lately!)

I don't know why, out of all the fics I've read this past two weeks, I want to rec this one. There's have been other GREAT fics, but I'm guessing is easier for me to rec crack than porn? I will have a porn list soon enough. I've read a LOT of porn this days. I'm all dirty inside now.

Anyway, to fluff and crack...

Metaphorically Speaking by cynicalism

Shige's fictional cat is gay.

(...)
"He told you--his cat was gay?"

Koyama nods fervently. "Yeah. And I mean, Shige doesn't even have a cat. So I told him so. And I told him that since Wagahai isn't really real, his gay feelings aren't real, and--"

Tegoshi lets out a squeak and instantly taps Massu on the shoulder, making frantic gestures with his hand and doing something funny with his eyebrows. Massu furrows his eyebrows and shakes his head, crossing his arms. This silent conversation goes on for about five whole minutes before even Koyama begins to lose patience and cuts in. "Uh, guys? In Japanese, please? I don't speak *tegomass*."

Found something that made me feel better. Or, at least, get my mind off it.

Seducing Masuda Takahisa by cynicalism

Jin hits on Massu. Massu doesn't get it. Yamapi laughs. A lot.


"No matter how big of a slut you are, Bakanishi, I don't think you're going to be able to seduce Massu. I mean--it's *Massu*. He's just kind of--too adorable."

"Nonsense! Everyone is seduce--able," Jin replies with an impatient wave of his hand. "Trust me on that one."

"The last time I trusted you was when you said 'Oh sure Pi, that hairstyle looks great on you!'--I looked like a fucking *poodle*, Jin,"


Sigh. Massu-love will save the world someday. But today, it's saving me of bleaching my mind!

I already passed along this fic to Daniela, but I want to recommend it anyway 'cus I like doing that and it's been a long while.

Technically, it's a RPS in the sense that's about Real People, but it doesn't manage to be slashy enough for the S. In any case, considering the amount of innuendo and fantasy that has come out since the guys have started talking in interviews about their new-found interest in each other, the fic is just precise in describing how Shige came to realize Yamapi was a lot more approachable than he originally thought.


Of Pessimism, Brotherhood, and a Whole Lot of Drinks by tabai

The first time that Yamapi asked Shige out for drinks, Shige thought he was a little mad. It didn't help either that Yamapi merely came into the dressing room, leaned casually against the lockers, and said "Wanna go out for drinks tomorrow night?"

---

(...) Half an hour later they were pessimistic about the future of the world.

"I feeeeel it. The world is going to self-combust." Shige slapped his hand on the table to emphasize his point.

"But whyyyy?" Yamapi questioned.

"I don't know. But we are controlled by oil and oil is being controlled by the Middle East and so the world will self-combust."

"I see your logic," Yamapi said, nodding hard. "And...you know what? Public transport fares are going to increase."

Both of them simultaneously groaned at that idea.

---

(...) When they eventually made their way home in a cab, Shige's head felt so heavy that he sunk and rested his forehead on Ryo's shoulder. Nishikido-kun wasn't so bad after all, he decided, even though he did have a strange way of showing his affection. But then, didn't they say that those who spoke the harshest felt the softest inside? Maybe Nishikido-kun was really like that, he was all nice and fluffy inside, rainbows and teddy bears and all manner of cute and sweet and spicy little things...

"Shige, your breath smells like a trashcan," Ryo complained. "You stink and you're drooling on me, urgh."


EDIT: Daniela, check out the other fics of this author. right now I'm reading one about the members' morning rituals that's cracking me up to no end!

Ok, so, who could have thought this could happen knowing my relationship with this awful fandom?

It's been saved. The Harry Potter fandom has been saved for me! All thanks to Dumbledore's "coming out" party, in a way. I've finally found the PERFECT fanfic. The thing is, it's not exactly what you'd expect...

Not That There's Anything Wrong with That by gunderpants

-- and - as I've stated in previous correspondence to you before - that's why I think you were wrong when you said that Remus was straight and married. And I don't hate you, but don't you think that someone like yourself, who's straight, and had a failed marriage before, and who probably had clouded judgment when writing the books due to childbirth and pregnancy, is not the best authority at determining what your characters are truly like?

To help you understand, I'm including a REALLY GOOD fic that is even better than your original work. Maybe if you write a book next time you can write well like this.

FTW!

This rambling is tsubasa_lupin's fault, seriously! People shouldn't let me get started like this!

I want to talk about one of my newest found love. Chad & Ryan from High School Musical, the pairing that saved its fandom from impending doom.

I was really close to put this fandom next to my personal nightmare, the Harry Potter fandom. Since I watched the HSM movie a few months ago, I was getting desperate for at least ONE fic with a good idea in it that had both decent writing and IC interaction. And you can imaging that, with most fans being 13 years old, the amount of crap out there is of greek proportions! OK, in reality it could never be as awful as the HP fandom can be, mostly because this fans aren't as creative as the Voldemort-loving-freaks, but it was bad enough.

I liked the HSM movie, the first one. I have a thing for watching people dancing around, so I liked the musical numbers first of all. I liked the message too, I guess. To not "stick to the Status Quo" is something I've been trying to live by since first grade. I love being able to connect with different people because I enjoy so many different things, I can't get "label" as anything in particular. Trying to teach kids the wonders of diversity (as basic as it is showing a jock enjoying singing) is a great thing.

But of course, the fandom really didn't pay attention to that. Most of the fics out there have the worst kind of stereotyping there is, and go with all the high school un-original drama plots known to mankind.

However, the second movie came out on august. And it wasn't Oh-WOW-Best-Movie-Ever! But it was fun and way too silly and what's most important... it gave us I Don't Dance.

Even though the song itself is good and the dance has a lot of subtext ("I'll show you how I swing"? Come on!) the two best parts of the movie are just before that scene, when Chad practically undressed Ryan with his eyes and asked him if he "got game". And right after, when those two are WEARING EACH OTHER'S CLOTHES!!

So, finally, the slashers had something to work with and fics exploring what the hell the Big Gay Baseball Dance Off (as I hear it called somewhere) was about were born.

So, here are some examples:


Ambush by alethialia
Where Ryan really, really wants Gabriella to be killed and Chad is having a blast with the whole situation.

"I'm not gay! I've had sex! With women," Ryan added, just to make that clear.

And, well, there'd really been the one, but with Troy's motley crew of virgins that so counted.

"And that's what turned you gay?" Troy asked, clearly confused.

"I hate you all," Ryan declared and then left.


Strategy, 2, 3, 4, 5 by temira
Where Ryan plots and acts like a diva. I love this fic.

"You get really into sports, man," Danforth said. "I mean, look at you... dirty undershirt, no hat."

"Would it ruin the effect if I said I'm going to need a manicure tomorrow?" Ryan answered, looking at his nails critically. Dirt was definitely ground under them.

Danforth laughed. "You are so awesome, man,"


Extra Innings
This are actually a lot of different fics placed in the same "universe" written by various people. It works beautifully with friendships and siblings and coming out. Best fics there are on this fandom, specially the mini-saga Fever. MUST READ!

'The clothes. The hats. The sparkles! What OTHER boy at East High has a color-coordinated outfit for every occasion?'

Gabriella shook her head and chided herself, 'No, no, that's a stereotype. You shouldn't buy into stereotypes. Just because he has a unique fashion sense, that doesn't mean anything!'

But there was also the whole theater thing... Drama Club... choreographing the winter musical!

'STEREOTYPE!' Gabriella's mind screamed at her again. Anyway, Troy STARRED in the winter musical, and she knew without a doubt that HE wasn't gay. Right?

Though Troy had proudly displayed his jazz hands during their big finale.

And, come to think of it, Troy did like those new Italian shoes and fancy clothes, too...


Ahh, feels so good to get this out of my system, finally. Witch reminds me there are some TMNT fics I was suppose to rec like, centuries ago! Next task, for sure.

Now that I finally gave all the paperwork needed to have an interview in the US embassy to get the visa and my world has come back to its natural order (for now)... I'm gonna sleep! I'm dead tired!

But, first. Because today FINALLY is the season premiere of Numb3rs. So, tomorrow, after I download and watch this episode I'm gonna be screaming all over about whatever happens, and before that, I need to rec this AWESOME fic!

The Inappropriate Ass Fondling Gun Story by entangled_now

Gods, I keep quoting the entire damn thing in my head! The visual! Don and Colby... held hostage, handcuffed, and the only way out it is in Colby's ass. I'm so not kidding.

Extract:

"You're not wearing underwear," Don says carefully.

"It's a thing," Colby says quietly.

"Really? A thing?" Don's voice is all layers of question and disbelief.

"Yeah."

"And it has nothing to do with the fact that you keep your gun there?" Colby has an ass/gun thing going on here clearly. Don's surprised at the fact he's not more surprised.

"Do you want to discuss my kinks or did you want to work on getting us the hell out of here?"

Don says nothing, simply slides his fingers a little further until his knuckles are past the belt.

"So really...cold steel on your ass?"

"Dude, shut up."

Yes, now I'm going to bed.

Because I'm in a sharing mood, I came bearing a rec.

Really, this isn't a good rec. There's a lot in this fic I DON'T like. BUT, it is the only one with this "pairing" I have ever found in the fandom, so I'm recommending it anyway. And it's not crappy, the good parts are better than the bad, I just wish the bad could had been done better.

This is mostly for Liz, because I promised her I would look for this fic, and I found it! And now if she reads it maybe it inspires her to write something better!

Winning Hearts by Kiya Sama
A Waya/Shindo/Touya fic.

Extract:

"YEAH!!! I made it!!" The vivacious teen jumped to his feet and ran to the front of the class, narrowly avoiding falling over the other Pros sitting on the floor. He resisted the urge to hug Shinoda sensei or the other men, but that didn't stop him from slapping Waya's back in exuberance. "We did it, Waya!" He whispered in excitement as the teacher continued to talk in the background.

Waya winked and gave him a victory sign. "We sure did, Shindo. New York City, here we come!"

Hikaru grinned and glanced at Ochi who looked like he was suffering from a bad stomachache, to Touya... whose expression remained as blank as ever.

~ Well, at least Waya seems normal. ~ Hikaru thought to himself. ~ This is going to be great!!! ~

The simple thought of this makes the cold weather go away.

Extract:

"Sheppard, I thought I told you to go on holiday," O'Neill said.

"I did, sir. I'm in Wales. In Britain," John added.

"I know where Wales is, Colonel, now is there a reason you're calling me during your vacation or did you just want to keep me up-to-date on world geography?"

"Well, sir," John started but O'Neill interrupted.

"Wait, crap, crap. You're in Cardiff, aren't you?"

"Yes sir."

O'Neill groaned. "Don't tell me, you've run into a guy called Captain Jack Harkness, right?"

"That's who he says he is," John agreed, feeling relieved that O'Neill had heard of him.

"Black hair, blue eyes, looks like he should be sweeping a heroine off her feet, grin like... like... damn it, I can't think of anything that doesn't sound like innuendo, because he makes everything sound like innuendo. Even hello. Especially hello."

A Holiday Humour by janne_d
Torchwood/SGA x-over. Jack Harkness/John Sheppard. *Oh, yes!*

This? This is what happen when someone recs me a fic.

It all started with Lupe wanting to read Detective Conan fics. I rec-ed some for her. In exchange I asked for Hikaru no Go fics, Waya fics, specifically. She linked me some, but informed me there wasn't much of Waya out there. So I asked Liz, who was talking with me also on msn. She linked me to a collection of Waya/Hikaru fics, because she knows I love unusual couples. Then I read one, and read the comments made of said fic. I went to the LJ of one of the people who review because she said she was gonna rec the fic. I figure she should rec others fics, maybe I get lucky...

I did.

Playing The Game by jain
X-over between Hikaru no Go and Prince of Tennis.

It would be a crack fic... except I totally see it happening!

Tomorrow the net will probably collapse.

In honor of that, here is a rec about this memorable day where a third of the world will be in awe reading a book, another third will be annoyed with the third that gets to be in awe reading said book when they still need a translation, and the last third will be annoyed with both groups because they don't shut up about said damn book.


Of Lightning & Scars by lucifers_toy

"Okay." Tony took a deep breath and placed his hands on Abby's cheeks, cupping her face, and ignored the jealous glare McGee sent him when Abby mimicked his actions. "Abby. If Probie and I get called in on a case and don't get to finish Deathly Hallows, you are not allowed to spoil me. I don't want to know who dies, who changes sides, who gets together. If you tell me, I'll tell Gibbs who replaced all the coffee with hot chocolate last week. Got it?"

Abby blinked wide, innocent eyes up at Tony. "I wouldn't do that."

Tony raised a skeptical eyebrow. "Who told me that Dumbledore died?"

Abby looked down and raised her hand timidly. "I did."


In my case, I already bought the book online. It's suppose to get here in a week or so. My mom will read it first because she will not stop bugging me otherwise, and I'll probably read it in a day or two afterward, depending on how good the book actually is. Then, of course, I'll have my fun reading the extremely long analysis that are gonna be written out there about who should or shouldn't have died and who should or shouldn't have hook up.

I'm really glad school will only be starting again so I won't be busy with real life.
