... I'm not dead, I swear...

Man, I have totally been slack on LJ recently... unless you count Sages, but meh... Speaking of which, the thread Ichigo and Saix had going from his first post is STILL going. I mean... it's been HOW long? Almost a month? 3 weeks at least, since it started when Manda left, and not only has it moved from Sages to the journal, it was moved on the 3rd [I think] and already has 60 comments, I think? Today's the 6th... D: Totally a loser... AND not only that, Saix is GONE and now Ichigo's talking to Xemonas, Ansem/Riku/whoever's nobody... Same mun on the other end, different character... ::excuse me while I laugh::

I have written NOTHING fanfic related in forever... I did a Grimmjow app for CFUD, and have another to work on, but I just feel blah when it comes to writing, though I have so many ideas... Not to mention my freakin' writing style for my app and my rp are so different [so says Roy, and I kinda agree] that it's hard to tell if I'd be a good RPer by how I write my app... Totally have to change it for my other one because I NEED to get in as a counselor... I swear I do... Who KNOWS when the next counselor apps'll be and if I'll even feel like doing it... I run hot and cold really quick...

And I wish I could go more than a few months without getting obsessed/really into/maniacle about a new show... I am TOTALLY on an Avatar kick... watching the show, AMVs [cus I can't find whole eps on youtube, and can they even be called AMVs? Technically, purists wouldn't call it anime... =_=], clips and god help me, fanfiction... Not the prony ones either... cus really, that would make me go 0.< instantly... I don't care if it's Zuko [16, right?] with anyone else older [and who the hell is older than him that couldn't be old enough to be his dad?] cus... gah... wrong... Katara's only what, 14? I can stand a falling in love story with some fluff, cus I can only stand so much of that anyway, but pron... god, no... just gah...

Anyway, I should really be finishing my JAVA test, cus, you know, I'm only halfway done and I have 15 minutes left... :D

The thing is, you really should be writing your apps like, well, you wrote this journal post. Just in the character's voice, is all. Though I'm still trying to figure out what to do for mine, but I'm starting to get some ideas now, at least...

And ironically, in Japan they'd call Avatar "anime" in the sense that that's just the word they use for animation in general. >_> (or you could claim that "AMV" stands for animated music video instead of anime...)

Yes, but the urge to try and make it funny is what throws me off, I guess. I'm probably going to have 3 apps by the end of this and choose the best one... ::snerks:: At least you have ideas... better than scrounging up at the last second, which I haven't done cus it isn't the last second yet...

and, my god, I feel sorry for that Fai/Fay apper... This must be their 6th try and they haven't even mustered a 50% rating... =_=

And yes, I'm perfectly aware that anime over there is animation in general, and manga over there is comic books in general, but we aren't over there, so I use the terms in the strick U.S./Western sense, almost always. And even if I tried, the blowhards out there wouldn't ever read that explaination, or they would and bitch about it.

Well, yes, but if you try to FORCE the funny, it just doesn't work, y'know? You have to be more subtle and work it in like you would with prose, really. Or like come up with a couple great one-liners and try to work them in somehow. And then edit it to make it flow better.

And yeah... the thing with the Fay apper, is I think they're spending too much time just trying to edit their app, rather than going and revisting/studying the character again before taking a fresh start.

::snerks:: I'm finding that out rather quickly, aren't I? And they really need to start fresh with their app, the Fai apper... Or take a break and read it all over from the middle... it's hard to come up with a new idea for every app and ones you stop doing that and just revising what you have, you need to stop, take a fresh look at it, or a small hiatus... something instead of trying again and again and failing for the same reasons...

...what would really be wrong is if someone else apps as Fai and gets in after that first person tried for 6 months...
