Preventer Void ::sits off to the side, not wanting to interrupt the amusing conversation:: You know, I've always wanted to see if I could convince someone to doujin-ify my big fanfic Codename Lightning, but I always felt like it would make me a pain in the butt to ask. With school still in full gear (till mid May) and starting Lady's artwork, I couldn't commit, but its possible more artists in the guild would be interested...

  Void: Oh come on! You can draw... I've seen your mechs... I, on the otherhand, had to do my best friend's English homework constantly to get her to draw everything I needed for art class... Yeah, I'm a cheat in that aspect... >_> Chris: Glad you think so... I was kind of worried about self-insertion and Mary Sue with Une's personality in that fic... redface Yeah, i basically based the way she acts on how I would... Believe me, I've been dared to glug down a liter of apple flavored green iced tea in under a minute and I did so just for the sake of pride... rofl That and I am a romantic softie but not a doormat... That kinda happens when your prom date tell you he can't dance then sudenly becomes awfully light on his feet when a prettier girl shows up... whee You do notice that she's more independent and defiant of him... xp Yeah, don't want that happening...

 Honey, you can do complex machines... I can't even draw a refrigerator... And my humans belong on the front of male and female bathrooms although you may be confused about which to enter since I can even screw up stick figures... rofl

I did notice the defiancy, yes! And I was quite happy to see it, seeing Une throughout the series constantly walking on eggshells around Trieze. Though I thought she was a...witch xp in the beginning, I couldn't help but feel sorry for her because she was trying so hard...bending over backwards in order to please him. Although this did constitute part of her character (and she did evolve into a stronger Lady towards the end), it was really nice to get a reinstating view of a self-reliant, self-confident Lady Une.
And Prev. Void...*wagging finger* shame on you if you don't think you're capable! I, too, have seen your mech work...very admirable! Hehe though I bet you know how good you are 3nodding and don't need me to say so. Time is also a big factor. We need more recruits!

Chris: Yeah, she wasn't likeable in the first few episodes... I know it isn't exactly good but her metal illness made her a better person... I actually have something in the pipeline called Stop and Go where she actually slaps him... rofl Count on it to be romance/humor... Feh, I assure you I suck...

Well, they say you are your own worst critic...seems to be true, because I never really feel satisfied with my own work. If it's a drawing, I'll always notice some little flaw or detail that needs ironing out. If it's a fic, I'll always feel like the dialogue is repetitive or OOC, or I needed more detail and description, etc.
I've had lots of people compliment my work, so I know I'm doing something right, but I guess I never feel satisfied regardless. sweatdrop

With my writng, I also happen to be a queen of vanity... Harsh criticism with no basis can make me throw a fit and go on hiatus for months... rofl Good criticism does make me want to go on just to improve though... My writing is something I pride myself on even if it has a tendency to suck at times...

Really? wow Une strikes back! Sounds a little OOC but I like the sound of it. I will definitely be looking forward to the completion of that one! (especially after reading I Dare You. Like I said before, its ok because my ability in art, though well it may be, probably doesn't even surpass my inability to write xd I have good ideas but I lack the good format and organizational skills (not to mention the patience) to make a really good fic. In fact, I think only one turned out semi-okay...a really really short fic about Quatre and Dorothy (no romance). I realized after I wrote it (and started reading more QXD fics) that the theme was beaten to death centuries over...the "what happened right after the war" plot...but oh well...it was my take on the matter.
*and it probably only came out somewhat in tact because it was so short there wasn't much room for damage sweatdrop *

Don't let that discourage you. Basically every idea has already been done anyway. The trick is to do it BETTER than everyone else.

Actually, I wrote it in a way that it won't be OOC of her to slap him... Sort of shows her coming undone with the split personality taking hold. She slaps him but she's really unstable at the time and might not even remember it if he asks her about it... I've written QxD... Not sure if there was romance or not bt I took a "before the war" approach... Title is Two Prophecies... I just wanted them to meet before the series yet not remember each other when th meet again as adverseries... Feh! They're already enemies on the dance floor... rofl I hate doing long fics... Too many words makes it drag for me... Short and sweet is the way to go... ^_^

Oh yes! I read Two Prophecies and loved it! That was a really interesting take...like a before and after. See, I don't know if I'd have ever thought up anything that original lol Mine was more simple and unoriginal...and, now that I think about it, plotless. I mean, the idea was there but it was almost stating the already known. I guess I knew that was the case and I figured that was okay. In fact, tell me what you think...

still don't know how to link it on here sweatdrop *I hope its right~
you don't have to read it now or anything but if you ever feel bored hehe
But, regardless, your version of Lady Une sounds really intriguing!
