Oh yes, and Teddy Lupin saw his first dog...and you know how to went from there on. Now if he were older, we could make &lt;span style=&quot;font-style: italic;&quot;&gt;other&lt;/span&gt; connotations about that. I&apos;m bored.</description>

Why do I always have to be the girl? I don&apos;t even like fire.&lt;br /&gt;Shunsui: I dunno. Your hair is cuter tied up, and I like this suit.</description>

  <title>To Bog Monster</title>
  <link>http://niftykins.livejournal.com/925.html</link>
  <description>It was just too long to put in the chapter:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;a name=&quot;cutid1&quot;&gt;&lt;/a&gt;Bog monster: It&apos;s always a shock to get the first critique on a fic, but it&apos;s helpful stuff that any sort of &lt;br /&gt;writer needs. I&apos;ve had reservations with this story from the start and thought for a while if I should just&lt;br /&gt;take it down, edit it, and re-post it, but knowing myself, I decided against it (the story would never reappear again). &lt;br /&gt;Perhaps this conversation would be better suited to a private email, but since you don&apos;t have an account, &lt;br /&gt;there&apos;s no other way to communicate with you. A small point, as compared to the rest of this ...dissertation, would be &lt;br /&gt;that yes, I do know the characters are out of character. It bothers the hell out of me. It&apos;s really due to the &lt;br /&gt;fact that I&apos;m inexperienced writing for an anime genre and that even though I&apos;ve read the manga and seen the &lt;br /&gt;anime, the effort of trying to combine the best of both worlds really escapes me. There is also that element &lt;br /&gt;I&apos;m trying to introduce (Cheru) and the way people react to her. I think I&apos;ve gotten somewhat better as I progress, but who knows.&lt;br /&gt;I also think that Ukitake&apos;s got to have an abrasive side to him, people that nice don&apos;t live/die that long.&lt;br /&gt;I plan on this being my one and only Bleach fanfiction, and to that effect, I&apos;ve really tried to take a different approach with this story. &lt;br /&gt; I wanted Cheru to be believable as an original character,&lt;br /&gt;and not too over the top with her dramatic history. Apparantly it seems that I haven&apos;t done &lt;i&gt;enough&lt;/i&gt; with her. &lt;br /&gt;Strangely enough, I did think that I had put more effort into writing in details in the earlier chapters of the &lt;br /&gt;story than the later ones. It seems maybe you want more artful details and not such trivial ones. Or am &lt;br /&gt;I taking this the wrong way? Perhaps I &lt;i&gt;am&lt;/i&gt; &quot;telling&quot; you too much of the story instead of &quot;showing&quot; it to you. &lt;br /&gt;I did think though, that this was somewhat unique, that the whole story (nearly) is mostly in Cheru&apos;s point of &lt;br /&gt;view. Although there is the &quot;omnipotent narrarator,&quot; their view is colored by Cheru&apos;s, and even though there &lt;br /&gt;are a plethora of very frank and to-the-point sentences that detract from the aspect of pure description, the reader would know&lt;br /&gt;that they are coming from the character themself and account for that difference. Not only did I want to create&lt;br /&gt;this effect, but I also wanted to force a little work out of the reader. You could argue that I am setting things up &lt;br /&gt;to be much too transparent, but I would argue that I am leaving some things out for the reader to imagine and hypothesize&lt;br /&gt;about (something I love doing so much being an avid fanfic reader and writer). I actually think Bog Monster (and I would &lt;br /&gt;like to see a sample, haha), that you &lt;br /&gt;have a better ability to write than I do. I&apos;m much too used to getting my way around here, and your example (no matter&lt;br /&gt;how rushed or paltry you may have thought it was) did ring somewhat truer than a few of the things I wrote down. But hey, &lt;br /&gt;can you blame a girl for trying? I&apos;m hoping you stick around for the whole thing even though you might get disenchanted&lt;br /&gt;on the way, a few more pointers really would help. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;</description>

  <title>Introductions</title>
  <link>http://niftykins.livejournal.com/710.html</link>
  <description>&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; In order to be more orderly...or just to use this as an excuse to waste more time and boost my low self-esteem, I have made this LJ to host all my fanart and fanfiction. I sometimes (in my frequent drunken stupors) call &quot;fanart&quot;, &quot;Fart&quot;...it&apos;s just not as funny when you change &quot;fanfiction&quot; to &quot;Fiction&quot;. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; Expect nothing, for I am a champion at that. &lt;br /&gt;But if you dislike my liking for good-humored poking fun at slash, it&apos;s time for you to leave...for I am liable to make fun of a lot of stuff other than that as well. Slash is not something I love, it&apos;s just well...funny, and sometimes sweet--sometimes. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; So there you go. This journal was splinched from &lt;span class=&apos;ljuser ljuser-name_neopluto&apos; lj:user=&apos;neopluto&apos; style=&apos;white-space: nowrap;&apos;&gt;&lt;a href=&apos;http://neopluto.livejournal.com/profile&apos;&gt;&lt;img src=&apos;http://l-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif&apos; alt=&apos;[info]&apos; width=&apos;17&apos; height=&apos;17&apos; style=&apos;vertical-align: bottom; border: 0; padding-right: 1px;&apos; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a href=&apos;http://neopluto.livejournal.com/&apos;&gt;&lt;b&gt;neopluto&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;, which never had a purpose anyway, as well as various other accounts with the same or similar name.</description>
