Hmm... thought maybe I'd listen to this song this morning, since it's what I'm naming my fic after.

That's right: the new fic will officially be called 'Obsession'. Mostly because of Orphen, but partly for Majic's parents. See where obsessions get you? You end up dismantling someone *else's* life.

Poor Majic.

My last entry got a lot of comments... scoreness! I guess people are willing to talk about it with me when I get mentioning couples I don't like. Hehehe... Too bad I don't have anything interesting like that today.

Awwww... oh well.

I made Jer watch some more Orphen last night - the original series this time. That was kinda fun - well, for me it was. I don't know about him... I think he prefers Revenge, like me.

Maybe because I lose patience with Cleao way too easily in the original series. And the way the last few episodes seem to lean toward an Orphen/Cleao pairing really makes me shudder. Granted, it's fairly one-sided, but still!

Eh, whatever.

Anyway, I have part one of Obsession finished, and I'm working on part two. That part is going to amuse me, I think. I just find the idea of "stalker" Orphen really, really funny.

This fic is also begging for a lemon scene.

Oh yeah, and I'll get around to having Orphen and Majic *meet* each other in part three. Really.

It isn't that I won't comment unless you mention pairing you don't like! ^__^ I'm only that childish on Tuesdays when there's a full moon. It was just that your WK comments seemed to echo sentiments I've seen in various parts of the fandom. And I wouldn't exactly call it an *essay* that I'm going to post, it's more of a semi-opinionated demi-rant. <.< Boy, that's a lot of hyphens. The only current Ran/Ken fics I can think of that I've enjoyed are P.S. Speare's "Upon a Painted Ocean" which is AU, and Shiori's "New World Order." For the latter, I don't completely agree with her characterisations, but...

And I really enjoyed the Prologue/Part I of "Dragon of Twilight." I meant to leave a review, but I got distracted by a Lit Theory assignment. The prologue, especially, hinted at just enough to make me want more, and I liked the interaction between Cleao and Majic you had in Part I. As much as I don't like Cleao/Orphen, I do like the girl (probably because she reminds me a *lot* of myself in her earnestness) and I like to see her portrayed...decently. In character. 'Twas nice. ^__^

Ehe... ^^;; Okay. I must warn you that I may just skim your rant, because I really don't like the couple. I can be stubborn and silly like that.

And you shouldn't feel like you have to comment or anything. ^_^ I hardly ever do, unless there's something in there I feel I have to reply to. So I kinda expect the same from others. LJ is just my musing space anyway. :)

As for DoT... yay! Nice to know that someone likes it besides the people I talk to on a regular basis. ^_^ And, including Cleao and giving her an actual *role* was important to me for this fic. I wanted her in there. What I'm finding is that I actually *like* writing her, even though I somemtimes find her annoying on the show. She's fun to play around with, and her dialogue just comes to me so easily... it's great. I think she stole a lot of the scenes she was in for Dragon of Twilight... but that's okay, because she's so much fun!

Heh... if you don't like Cleao+Orphen, though, you'd better watch out in future chapters. ^_~ Naturally, the fic is Orphen/Majic, but... well, you'll see.

Eh, well, I though it was going to be a pairing essay, but it's not. It's just a general WK essay and my take on plot/characters. I didn't really delve into pairings. Damn thing was already four pages long... But, feel free to skim. However, I do enjoy hearing other people's takes on characterisations. I like discussions like that - as long as their with intelligent people.

As far as Orphen+Cleao goes...well, it's not that I don't like to read them as being together, it's that every fic I've read so far has them wildly out of character. In fact, another oneshot fic I'm working on has them discussing their relationship, how they feel, where Majic fits in, and why it won't work. I find Cleao to be intelligent and capable, and under different circumstances - and if Majic weren't involved - I could see them together. I'm just such a canon-bitch lately that I can't stand OOC stuff. ;-p

I don't know... for me, with Orphen and Cleao, it's like their personalities clash. I know that in the first series, she has a crush on him, but she seemed to have this idealized idea of who he was for a while. And unless I'm blocking episodes or scenes from my mind, I don't think he showed any signs of having feelings for her in return. He showed signs of *caring* for her, but it seemed fairly platonic to me.

I also think he and Majic are just more compatible. Orphen has one of those personalities where he likes to be in control. Cleao's personality is very similar: she likes things *her* way. Majic is more accepting. I think in a relationship, Orphen and Cleao (if Orphen were ever interested in Cleao like that) would never last - but Orphen and Majic would.

That makes sense, right? ^^;; Sometimes I have a hard time translating my thoughts into words.

Well, it makes sense to me... But, that could be the weird combination of Pepsi, ichigo Pocky, codeine, and not enough sleep talking. ^__^

Mmm... pocky... *drools* It's been a long time since I had pocky... and strawberry is the best kind, too... ^_______^ I should go pick some up some time.

Sleep would be nice too. ^^;; Too bad it's only seven in the evening.
