Does anyone else....
Jul. 18th, 2004 09:34 pmavoid going on livejournal right after you post a fic?
I tend to post a fic and then run away, always hiding myself until a day or two later. It's an automatic reaction and no matter how much I try, I can't bear to check for responses (if there are any >_<) until much later because I get so twitchy in wondering how readers will see the fic. Sure, I always think that I don't particularly care (which I don't, by the way *eg*), that I'm writing for myself rather than anyone else, but it doesn't change the fact that feeling of dread.
I'd call it normal, but then I've never really discussed fanfiction in RL, so I can't tell if this is how others react to posting up fics too.
However...
On to yaoi/shonen-ai manga!
Ever since I read Love Mode, Bronze, and Cantalera, I've become absolutely obsessed with getting my hands on more BL (boys love) manga. I want more, more, more, more, MORE! But I'm not necessarily talking about hardcore yaoi manga. It might be the romantic in me, but I'd love to see first kisses, hugs in bed (oh yes, the from-behind-hug is my weakness), a kiss to the cheek, a kiss to the throat, a hand on a shoulder... ^______________________________^
I really love Bronze by the way. It's so, so, so pretty and angst-filled. But as usual, my adoration centered onto a peripheral character who's pretty much done a great deal of evil but who has such an absolutely tragic childhood and past that just... *wrinkles nose* Hirose and Akihito are introduced as snotty rich brats of their father, but as the story goes on (especially in V.6, 9, 10), I just couldn't help but fall in love with Hirose who's entire life is centered around whether he was unique or not, and Akihito, who grew so dependent on his brother, that the only person he loves is his brother. (I get vibes there) And that luscious bodyguard of his.
What I like about Love Mode is that it focuses on the relationship rather than the sex. Yes, all the boy-loving is hot, but I foolishly like relationship-building too. Especially when it starts out as a mentor-student relationship and blossoms to something much, much more. Kitten, anyone?
Naruto 224. Read it.
Does anyone know where I can get raw scans of the up-to-date Bleach chapters?
