Don't give me plot bunnies, Yuri On Ice! I'm so rusty. It's been months since I did any writing, and I'm supposed to be mostly retired from writing fanfiction. I don't need any story ideas!
But...but... As great as the show is -- and it is FANTASTIC -- I want more Mila and Sala! I know the focus is on mens' skating, so of course they aren't going to be given the same amount of screentime as the guys, yet wouldn't it be neat to focus on some of the ladies for a change? And I could even create OCs based on some of my favorite real-life skaters! I even already have NAMES for them, like Avery Weber (expy of Ashley Wagner -- I know Mila is already somewhat based on her. but whatever, the similarities are mostly superficial), Sarah "Sadie" Silver (expy of Gracie Gold), Ekaterina Mironova (expy of Evgenia Medvedeva), and Megumi Hanabusa (a composite of Mao Asada and Wakaba Higuchi, the latter who happens to be one of Evgenia's best friends). I wonder if anybody else has had a similar idea yet, or if all the fanfiction out there is Victuuri fluff. I should check that out.
In other news, I'm super-excited by a recent purchase on eBay I made: a Sailor Pluto Pullip doll! I've really been wanting one, but I wasn't about to spend $180 on one. Luckily, though, I managed to find one for only a $100, so I snapped it up even though I really wasn't looking to spend so much money right before Christmas. Means that I have less money to spend on Right Stuf's annual holiday sale, but, eh, it was too good a deal to pass up.
Speaking of the Right Stuf sale, I've already picked up a My Love Story! boxset and one of the Tiger & Bunny movies. I have my fingers crossed that the Space Brothers sets will be offered again so I can finish the rest of my collection, but in the meantime, I trying to decide between Shirobako, Toradora, and Black Butler: Books of Circus/Murder... I don't think I can afford all of them, unfortunately. *sigh* Right Stuf, why must you always do this to me?
