heavenly_pearl | Hey... (Reply)

Heh, I don't really know what to write in this thing now that baseball's over. It was kind of nice having something interesting to talk about on game nights, a little excitement in my otherwise very dull life. ^_^

Well, I guess I could talk about my Someday's Dreamers fic. It's almost finished. I just have to finish up the last scene, go back to work on the third(?) scene, which was giving me problems, and polish up the rest. I should probably meet my goal of finishing before my birthday, which actually has an extra benefit. I didn't realize it until a few days ago, but on the fifth of next month, the website I made dedicated to the series (http://www.freewebs.com/kaze_no_hana/index.htm) will be celebrating its first anniversary, so I think it'll be nice to post the story there as kind of a gift for the few people who visit it. (Heh, one year and the counter hasn't even made it to 200, most of those hits being mine thanks to a lack of exposure. I recently had to go volunteer to be the new editor for the Someday's Dreamers section of a web directory just so I could finally get my page on the major search engines.)

The story itself...is very teeny-bopper. Unfortunately. Still, I think I managed to make it somewhat realistic in how Masami deals with Milinda's feelings for him. It's not an "I love you/I love you, too/Let's go off, get married, and have lots of kids" kind of story. I'm actually rather proud of the way I handled that part.

I'm just afraid I completely assassinated Milinda's character in the process. She's so flaky in this story. I do think her actions are somewhat understandable, considering she's finally confessing her love to the guy she's loved for over a decade, but I might have gone too far. >.<

However, it's still better than the other two stories in the fandom, so I guess I'm happy.
