memememing!

[xparrot]

I've been seeing this meme floating around the flist, and have been wondering how I'd do at it myself. Considering how many times I suspect I've reused the same turn of phrase, not to mention I was reformatting my page recently and realized I had entirely forgotten writing one story on there...well, we'll see.

A-- go to my fics and pick out a line or two from one of my stories.
B-- I will respond with which story I think it's from.
C-- points and a drabble to anyone who stumps me

I trust the gentle reader not to pick something too ridiculously vague. But your call.

"Just used my magic gay powers to get into any guy's pants."

*laughs* You could probably figure this one out, but I still love the line.

Richie in Summertime. luckily I write so little slash that it tends to stick in my mind ^^

*sporfles at the icon*

Meme time! Sc0re! XD

"I've seen it all before, but not like that. Just your skin, and the water...it shines. You shine. I could see your face, and you weren't smiling. So damn beautiful."

Gojyo in "Transient". Like I said, the slash I remember ^^ (you read Saiyuki? or were you just trawling?)

Re: Meme time! Sc0re! XD

[praiseofshadows.livejournal.com]

Yay! *throws confetti*

(I was just trawling...because I'm bad and evil like that...haha....I've been doing that on this meme -- picking fandoms I know nothing about. But I really liked that line as I was skimming through that story, so I chose it ^_^)

[airairo.livejournal.com]

I was tempted to do this (because I grab like.. all memes XD) but I probably haven't written enough for it to be very challenging. ^^;;

But for you: Zoro eyed them while the pause stretched into yet more uncomfortable silence, thinking that this was just about the time Luffy would pop up with something entirely inane to add to the conversation and bridge this gap. That his absence was the cause of this division would have been an amusing irony, if it hadn't been so damned annoying.

(And btw, where did you get YGO from? Between you and some of the other fangirling that has been popping up on my flist, I'm starting to get tempted. >>)

[xparrot.livejournal.com]

"Overboard" - I don't actually remember what point, but I remember writing the line!

(and YGO - I got the show on bootlegs off Ebay, but I'd advise you to start with the manga anyway; it's how I got into the series and it's rather superior to the show (for one, it eases you into the card games, starting out with psycho!Yami & toothachingly cute friendshipping). Viz's Shounen Jump translations are decent, if you're strapped for cash just go to Borders and sit and read 'em ^^ It's no OP (but then what is) but it's fun. And has Kaiba!

--actually I've been meaning to ask, in PoT you're an Inui fan, yes? Do you happen to have any of his image songs? I have a couple, but believe there's more out there...he's voiced by Tsuda Kenjirou who I am deeply and madly in lust with also voices Kaiba ^^)

[airairo.livejournal.com]

Yup! :D

Ah, yes. Sitting at Borders and mooching Manga has become a hobby of mine. XD I actually read the first volume a looong time ago and just never continued with it. Not sure why. But I'll give it another try. And, well, I never expect anything to be as good as OP. ^_~

And yes! I'm a big Inui fan! That was actually another reason I was interested in YGO because.. guh that voice. *___* and he's not in many other voice acting roles. ;_; Which songs of his do you have? I'll UL the rest of them for you (I'm pretty sure I have them all ^^). Does Kaiba have any image songs?

Ooh, let me play!

"I believe they're right. I have to. "

Re: Ooh, let me play!

[xparrot.livejournal.com]

AHHHHHHHH sheepies!! Why do I have a bad feeling this is RGB...? Gimme a little time...I swear I remember writing this line, just need to remember where I wrote it XD (though you can start thinking about what you'd like drabbled ^^)

Re: Ooh, let me play!

[xparrot.livejournal.com]

Wah! It's "Pieces", right? ...can't remember whose entry. Winston's? The 'they' makes me think it has to be...

[lazulisong.livejournal.com]

In this interval the rest of their group had emerged from the connecting doors, all looking annoyed at the late disturbance until they got a good look at the main room.

[xparrot.livejournal.com]

hmmm...*stares, scratches head*...Ah! That's Gravi! "Price of Fame"! Am I right? or totally off? XD

[xparrot.livejournal.com]

...in other news, I just impressedworried myself by identifying Satoshi in your icon *huggles poor angsty needs-to-get-his-Daisuke Satoshi*

Oh, I can't resist...

[stitcher2ficcer.livejournal.com]

the chance to *maybe* get my very own drabble from you. Maybe my drabble request will tempt you into going back to one of your unfinished stories for a temporarily-abandoned fandom: "Remembering to Breathe" or "Darkness Visible" maybe?

But then, knowing you, you'll be able to identify just about every line you've written. But I'll give it a try. How about:

"His instincts had told him he wasn't wrong. He still believed so, but now his gut was also insisting that this was no joke."

Re: Oh, I can't resist...

[xparrot.livejournal.com]

...
DAMMIT. Unholy indeed. There's about a dozen of my fics that this line *could* apply, and I was thinking about it all night and came to no conclusions. But I'm going to guess, because you are cruel, you went way back. To X-files, even? I don't know, but I'm going to hazard that this is from the Future Horizons series.
...otherwise, where is it? because it's driving me nuts now!

He felt himself slipping; the abyss yawning before him was deeper and darker than any he could imagine, and he was sliding toward it.

I'm being mean...but still, you'll probably get it anyway...

[xparrot.livejournal.com]

OH COME ON NOT FAIR!! I've only written like SIX MILLION characters falling unconscious.

...I really want to say RGB, because the guys went unconscious in RGB more than in anything else, but...it's not Peter in Descent, is it? (I should've limited to ff.net posts. RGB is like 6 years and 500K+ words away!!)

[ladykarasu.livejournal.com]

The look in his eyes wasn't a dying man's, much less a dead one's. The dead never looked so terrifyingly annoyed.

I'm not done with you, but everything else I REALLY wanted to post was so horribly obvious... heh... I might find another that isn't too terribly bad, later. ^_^ (Note also, that this isn't as mean as I could be- since its almost obvious which fandom I'm going for first... *laughs*)

[xparrot.livejournal.com]

Heh - Death re: Zoro in "He Comes for Us All" ^_^ I probably remember humor better than most of my stuff...
but you can try again ^__^ (really, the difficult ones are my old stuff...I should've limited it to ff.net or lj posts. The ones that got me above were from stories from years ago, I've written half a million or more words since! ^^;)

"That was only a lifetime. Only a little bit of time, for only one person."

[xparrot.livejournal.com]

ayyiii~ everyone's too good at this!! And the worse part is, I remember this line, I'm almost sure...I just don't remember when I wrote it! I am going to take a random stab in the dark and say "Star-crossed"?

[ex-naye320.livejournal.com]

I'm so very tempted to dig up the most obscure drabble or long-forgotten fic I can find, just so that I'll get the drabble, because I really want it. I'm also sorely tempted to find one of your brilliant lines from any of those fics that you desperately NEED TO FINISH. But I'll play nice, and just give you something to remind you of why we all still love or adorable idiots (being in Japan is somehow bringing it all back to me...).

Here:

As far as Ban was concerned, friends were the people who waited the longest to betray you. Ginji believed in an entirely different definition, and somehow, against all common sense, managed to make others buy it. Even cold-blooded, cursed serpents.

"Gang Aft A-Gley" ...and hopefully there's no points off for misspelling, because my Gaelic isn't what it should be <33

I need like two month to do nothing but write! And yeah, I know it wouldn't go like that even if I had them...but they'd still be nice to have ^__^

[stitcher2ficcer.livejournal.com]

I'm also sorely tempted to find one of your brilliant lines from any of those fics that you desperately NEED TO FINISH.

Do it, do it!! You were nice to her. Now play again and challenge her. I REEEEAAAALLY want to see the rest of RtoB and Darkness Visible! And outside of fanfic, the rest of Val & Cash's saga would be excellent, too!. I'm working on her to invoke the Zokutou Clause and finish the novel for NaNoWriMo next month. Will you join me in prodding her to do that?
