Because naturally, I still don't have my priorities straight.

My god, my parents are going to kill me when I get home on Thanksgiving!

In other news though, I'm less afraid of programming and late hours than I was two or three years ago.

Now if only I could update GHQ this weekend...

24 hours of coding...

too... painful...

I hate you. Stop mauling me.

I know my fanboyism of the yuri duo has ballooned due to the RPing I've done over at netherworld_rpg . Their frickin' wedding is happening for crying out loud. ARE YOU NOT SATIATED?! What's this crap about a Mario and Luigi Ultimate Parody starring these two and making fun of every trite plot device used with these two while celebrating the pairing at the same time? You know I don't have enough time in life! I STILL HAVE TO UPDATE NIGHTMARE!? GODDAMMIT.

No! NO BRAINSTORMING SESSION. SCREW YOUR BRAINSTORMING SESSION. What do you mean no one else is going to pick it up?! Theru and Kafka wrote better stories about those two than I did. They don't even LIKE the pairing! ...that's the point you say. You want my usual "I'm an idiot surrounded by morons" clause I take with places like the Sonic fandom.

No! STEP BACK! GET AWAY! ARRHGGHGHGGHGHGHGHG

NO LOVE

ANSEM

P.S At least let me finish M&L 3 first *spurts blood*

I've had more fun this year around than I have in previous years.

What makes it gold? I got FRICKIN WALL SCROLLS. A SONIC WALL SCROLL (and a Negima one, too!) Plus a Sonic shirt!

Alas, money was tight and that was all I can afford. And I didn't trust the commissions doods would ever do any Negima artwork, which is a shame. Because I want to see Konoka cosplay as Shanoa from Castlevania.

SHOW SECCHAN THAT SEXY BACK!

In the meantime, it's time to get busy as hell again. My writing drive is totally gone for the two biggies. I hope when I return to them the drive isn't dead. :/

My Comp is still horribly slow in actually arriving, but at least now I've got my screen. It's so nice doubling up and watching anime on full screen.

Financial Aid has been horribly dumb and horribly out of funds, so now I get to play the SCHOLARSHIP SLOT MACHINE like I've been doing all summer and failing miserably at!

I haven't written too much since I've come back to school, but I'm hoping Friday night/Saturday will look much better in that regard. Plus I'm going to be doing a bunch of projects so it will be unlikely that I'll watch read too much...

Yeah, just a small status update from me.

From the people who didn't bring you GARYUU X

I now present Mikarun X... a yuri manga that takes the WTF from Brawndo and goes full fucking circle with it.

Starts off ordinarily enough--young girl gets mysterious bracelet from stranger. Another young girl miraculously survives a horrible disaster. They meet in high school ten years later.

I should note that at some point, kaijuu aliens invade.

But wait, I'm not even at the good parts yet! Bracelet girl's first day of school has her bullied by the usual jerk trio, who take off her clothes in broad daylight. Other girl, who is like super good at everything, humiliates the bullies in spectacular fashion. Two girls become friends.

Then, walking home one day, they get attacked by giant aliens. Super Regen girl is chopped to pieces.

Bracelet girl has a gift though--earnest pleas allow her to wish for anything to come to pass. She wishes to save the chopped up girl.

Instead, regen girl becomes SUPER FREAKING HUGE AND NAKED.

ASS KICKING ENSUES.

Strangely enough, the alien that summoned the giant ones is not really evil but greedy, and wanted money. They form a strange friendship.

Uhh yeah. WTF dood.

So are there any good yuri manga, preferrably stuff that isn't dark/melodramatic? Mikarun X wasn't bad but uuhhh srsly...

4 episodes to go. Writing in Greensboro has never been so easy, and man do I love it. A separate post on that coming when I get home tomorrow (for friends only though sorry~) Episode 11 has hit the 20% mark at 2100 words.

Episode title comes from the song "Dance of Sadness" from Castlevania Portrait of Ruin. As a matter of fact, PoR is going to seriously dominate the title references from here on out.

I was surprised how long the Howell/Ichijou conclusion omake turned out to be--because Sora's no longer the leader of the SMC like he was for the defunct Amnesia!?, Al played a bit more role as leader. Plus explaining Ichijou's lack of strong emotions? CARDINAL SIN FOR A GAG SERIES. Better watch out, though, that sin won't disappear.

Speaking of cardinal sins, who figured out where the fight with Lirael came from? If you guessed Legion, you would be absolutely correct! And it was by far the creepiest fight to write, even though I skimped on the description of all those fake bodies.

I've noticed that the PPD influence for this tale has been dropping steadily, largely because the Negima crowd is having to serious it up to face the real conflict just like they did in Negima!?.  It feels kinda strange, so I'm hoping what's going to be a massive episode 11 will make up for it.

Cygnus is up to something... but what?

And a last thing: While Dance of Sadness is the ep title, Destroyer is a more fitting song for the actual... fight. OSV version.

I want more Theru art ;_;

OH GOD I MADE IT!
4th is gonna be busy for me, so.

http://www.fanfiction.net/s/4640090/10/

Episode title is from the direct JP translation of the song called "Chamber of Ruin" in Castlevania Order of Ecclesia ("Prediction of Insanity"). It is by far the most unusual boss theme in the entire franchise, and I rather like it.

To be honest, this was largely a massive setup chamber so I can accelerate into the final parts of the plot and launch the final battles. The pseudo equivalent of Episode 21-22 of Negima!?, it's when things were supposed to get ugly. I struggled to make all the info-dump and drama interesting, that was until I thought of some interesting character development for Asuna.

Negima!? ignores Asuna's Magic Cancel abilities, and yet Asuna is never directly struck by magic during the duration of the series, let alone the first ten eps of the series (the only ones canon to I Am Negima!?) I figured if she were to have those same powers, they wouldn't work the same way as they did in the original manga. And her origins aren't QUITE the same, but similar enough--you'll see in a future ep.

Seraph dug the Anti-Asuna idea, largely because lol spoilers: she is the equivalent of a Nobody and how this ties into how Asuna is the way she is today... well, I'll spell it out in a future update.

I was going to reveal the BRB (we all know who she is if you watched Negima!?) but in the name of pacing and Nodoka angst, it had to wait...

I hope you enjoy this latest one.

I haven't felt like writing Nightmare... I can't make it exciting! Frustrating especially since I'm halfway done with it, and I don't see anything that needs to be killed, just enough to where I can't go anywhere.

On the other hand, I'm like, getting baX into lj rps now! netherworld_rpg  is recruiting and stuff. I need a Setsuna. And maybe a Negi too. and maybe someone who can harass Sonic mirite

Well, can't fray the muses, but SOMEHOW Nightmare will live. SOMEHOW IT WILL so I can see more theru art

My mind has felt strangely off, so I'll take this time to rage about the complete lack of Natsu no Arashi subs, and dread the crunchyroll option.

As I'm messing around with the plot and trying to revive this story with a bang, I came across a horrifying detail: a fight I was originally going to set up for and execute in this coming episode... won't fit.

I thought of a much better spot to put it, but then that leaves no sort of heavy action or high impact plot happening for the entirety of this episode, it merely leads into setup of Negi investigating Lirael and Becky trying to get up to speed. The epic action can't kick in until next episode. I'm not interested in contriving any situation. 

...so what do I do?

If you've got any ideas on  how to push this further or concrit, let me hear it.

OF COURSE I SHIP KONOKAxSETSUNA...





...THROUGH FED-EX!

They are bound and gagged together of course.

So guise where's my bondage doujins with these two :/

Definitely not crossposted to konosetsu 

Three notes today.

1) I wish I could get rid of these stupid mental blocks. Then I would be much less lazy. It's annoying, I'm being crushed by my own cowardice.

2) You are a genre savvy male trapped in a yuri comedy. WHAT DO YOU DO?!

3) Nightmare!? Episode 9 is getting a kickstart today~

I haven't written much in a week, except about half of some dodgy stuff and about a few words to GHQ. ARRRGGGHHHH..

But earlier today (or should I say yesterday), I played the most fucked up round of Monopoly with my family. The main whatthefuckery was having to STAY IN JAIL or ACCRUE MORE DEBT. That's right, we used a DEBT SYSTEM.

I cried tbqh.

Today I have to make an obstructive bureaucrat party of 40, largely to keep Konoka in check (because Lunzard couldn't stop her before ep 1 proper, which is funny because them coming back is what's making HIS life more difficult than hers lololololol)

They have an Elite Four (expect the references, dood) that runs the show and represents the four parties, ranked in power/importance: King of Dust (DDD's OC, looks like his debut into fanfiction tbqh), Rozalin (Disgaea 2 female lead), Yui Shizuka (hooray OC revived!), and Prinny God Konoemon Konoe.

The only other confirmed dude for the senate is Adell, who is Rozy's boyfriend and is the only one of three that has actual confirmed experience. (other two are KoD and Yui, both who were around for Zegnant and the only survivors of the senate who survived Konoka's wrath.... maybe.)

I need to figure out who the other 35 are. No rush, since those five are the only ones who matter when this system is first introduced, but any ideas would be awesome...

Some possibilities?

Gig (Soul Nomad)
Revya (Soul Nomad)
Pick a TS OC

Filling up all 40 is NOT a necessity, but I'm looking for possible plotlines to explore with them. OKAY GUYS HELP ME OUT LET'S RAAAWWWWWKKK.

It looks like teh Negima section got investigated by some bored fellow writers.

Disgaea: Gehenna's Holy Queen caught their attention! Bad news: my summary is... passable at best.

BLEH :/

And they expect something from Mao/Konoka. Oh ho. Well not to pull my own ZOMG SPOILERS but Mao's listed because he's the main antagonist. I think so. Yah, yah rly. No Cygnus, just because you're scheming doesn't mean you're going to succeed at whatever your plotting! There's no Rokugou to kidnap and gloat over!

Nightmare is trying to be revived, I think and I hope! Just hope reading through FullMetalAlchemist is not gonna screw me over in that department.

I think I might try and just write whatever scenes come to me for both stories and see how that works out.

If you dudes who made the video see this, don't hesitate to drop me what you think.

Ah, I posted this like seven hours ago but I was too tired to do the whole author's notes thing.

Ah, this was the real opening chapter from Negi's point of view. I actually had to cut out a lot of things, including having some in-between text of Asuna and co. just gathering who's left, and a filler joke of Sir Sweet walking into complete chaos over at Castle Gehenna. While I'm not going to add those events, I might beef up that chapter on a later date if too many report it as confusing or lacking something.

LONGEST FIGHT I HAVE EVER WRITTEN. It spanned like five pages and some 2000 odd words, compared to the fights with Cygnus Cantus and the Egg Arceus, both in I Am Negima!? (which barely topped 1200 for the latter). And after getting STARTED on it, it was actually quite fun. I modified Cyg's skills a bit to make him more of a mid-range fighter, so anyone wanting to cameo him for a fight should take notes!

With Mao now bringing the events of three years ago to the forefront, that chapter will be next... or at least Negi's vision of it. Konoka's still got a ways to go--she's going to be shopping for something nice, and run into something evil...

Now I need to revive Nightmare!?.

Neo 29 got scanslated.

I like KonoSetsu as much as the next guy, but rly guise. :/

Why is GHQ taking me over 9000 weeks this time? Complete POV shift, that's why. I'm having to get back to Negi's side of the story, even though this isn't WLDM and therefore is actually Konoka's story and not Negi learning about Konoka's story.

Plus Raspberyl side story from Disgaea 3 is putting in effect what I should be thinking about in a time skip in THAT world. Geez Flonne, I didn't know you were that busy!

Luckily I THINK I've passed the 80% mark for GHQ, so hopefully something new will be there. Also Nightmare!? needs to come back. Yes Theru, I know you're watching.
