Cold season
Oct. 3rd, 2011 11:10 pmAh, you pesky germs. Why must you invade my insides and make my brains feel so squeezed and my throat so scratchy?
I haven't been writing much lately. Nothing I've got tempts me at the moment. As a compromise between working on one of my regular fics and doing nothing at all, I've been writing two-sentence stand-alones for an idea I took down ages ago about Hakkai being a book seller/translator and Kougaiji being his patron/customer person. The original idea also included this line of dialogue: "I am useless without a library to love." I'm assuming that's Hakkai speaking, but I suppose it could be either of them?
For the purposes of this story, I see them having a special, high-brow culture sort of relationship full of veiled innuendo and intellectualism and old-fashioned gestures of courtesy. Though...I'm not sure where this would leave Doku or Gojyo. Would Kou be some kind of adulterer, carrying on with Hakkai while still joined at the hip with Doku? Might Gojyo be the *gasp* actually straight roommate? XD
Ugh. Maybe this cold will shake things loose for me, creatively speaking.
Oh! Speaking of creativity, I'm attempting some doodles for the draw-like-a-five-year-old thingy. I'm not convinced I've got it crappy enough, yet: so far my best attempt has been my left-handed drawing. (And yet, I've grown very fond of the cat!Schuldig and cat!Saiyuki ones...) Maybe it would help to get my hands on some crayons: colored pencils let me draw really fine detail lines, which I don't want.
