Okie. I'm having the sudden inspiration in the middle of the night that prevent me to fall asleep earlier, and now, well, as you can see, I just couldn't think of anything to write! arghhh!!! posted by -anduril- 10:09 PM . . .
Yesterday, when I was back, I switched on my Al (Al is the name of my laptop), and guess what? I did a whole lot of spring cleaning. I got rid of the fics that I don't think I wanna read anymore. Got rid of all those stupid typical RuHana moments (if I read one more line with the words Rukawa and jealousy together, I'm gonna puke). Got rid of all those fics with no writings whatsoever, only dialogue. Got rid of all the author's self-inserts. Heck, I even got rid of the fics that had useless author notes in the middle of the fics. Yea... some people might wonder why? Why did I collect all this fic if I want to get rid of it later? It's because in the beginning, I just want to read. I want to read more about Rukawa. I want to read the depth of the SD characters that maybe be missed in the watching of the anime. I want to know their secrets, their motivation, what they do if they don't play basketball, not going around lusting of others. My goodness! You can see how fucking disappointed I am. Only some of the fics that are truly a gem. But others.... nah, it's just not my taste ok? At least now, I think, my precioussss hard drive space had been cleared of any useless, stupid fics. Gah! Can't believe how strong my language in this post. But that's how I really feel. posted by -anduril- 6:27 PM . . .
Best SD one-shot. Last year (2002), I've been involved in the realm of Slam Dunk's fics. So, this is the best one-shots that i ever read, of all past year or so. I think every single fic that I'm going to mention made their appearances in 2002. Hence, this is my collections, and the view that I presented here is mine. In random order... Lullaby by Tea Rose I chose this fic because it was well-written. And upon reading it, I found myself shaking with the thought of the scene that was depicted. Maybe, this fic had hit me in personal level, cos I can relate to the subject mentioned. It's all about Rukawa's psyche. The author, in her notes, had also noticed how Rukawa's personality in his high school years hinted a lot of secrets that just cannot be revealed. Which is always been my point. Last time I heard, she's gonna write a RuHana as a follow-up. Hmmm.... Colors by Annie D Don't mind the American spelling. At least I think she wrote it in American spelling. Way beyond title, you found a very heart-warming RuHana. Sakuragi was depicted differently from his usual idiot self. While Rukawa, he was more than a jealous lover. He was the person who sees things differently, things in colours, hence, his ability to look pass the barier of each person and to actually see what underneath it. As for their relationship goes, they're on equal footing. And I'm really glad a fic came out in the midst of usual RuHana fare. Bravo! Purification by Crystal A Dirty Old Man x Rukawa! *throw confetti* A twisted look into the twisted mind of Rukawa. wohoo! I mean, seriously, firstly, although some people might get put off by the way Rukawa being a lil OOC, it was so well-written that you tend to believe it could really happen In another way, this is the Rukawa we've seen in the anime. It's a canon characteristic. And man o' man, it does bring another meaning to the saying... 'Survival of the Fittest.' Bet Darwin is turning in his grave now. Still Waiting by Kataren The fic that made me go teary eye, and eventually made me toughen up cos I was reading this next to my office-mate. Damm. It reminded me of The Happy Prince by Oscar Wilde, how both of them play the emotion is a simple and straightforward way. And no, it's not sappy, this fic is way beyond sappy. But it made the reader felt the sap, and ok, you may be ashamed of it, but hey! if a lot of people feel the same way, how are you going to tell yourself logically? So just enjoy the emotion and get the result. *snif* Hence, four of the memorable one-shot fics for me in 2002. Tchuse! posted by -anduril- 11:02 PM . . .
