Welcome to Gaia! ::

Hey guys, while you're waiting for me to put up pieces of my 'big' fic (yah, right . . blaugh ) here is a funny one-shot I did that I would like some feedback on. (Oh yeah! I even went to the trouble of putting down my 'inspiration' for this fic, so please don't think that the basic idea of it is originally mine . . . I wouldn't want to get in trouble for that! wink )


"The Turtle-gumi High on Pixi Sticks!!!"
by Kamehane (known to you guys as Artue 3nodding )

In the interest of personal entertainment, authour performed the following experiment: placing Pixi Sticks at strategic locations in order to observe reactions of aforementioned individuals. Notes are reported below.

Michaelangelo: Subgect approached the Pixi Stick like a rampaging buffalo. Opening of package is assumed to have taken place (though exactly WHEN cannot be said) and the Stick was then inhaled. Subgect procedded to run around in a circle for 5 minutes straight, flapping his arms and uttering something about being a bird.
Thoughts: If subject is like this on sugar, author does NOT want to be the one to get the subject drunk! : p


Donatello: Stick was left on border of Turtles' territory after tripping alarm, causing subject to find it 3 minutes later. Subject looked at Stick for about a minute before opening. After identification, subject procedded to verrryyy slowly consume the contents. Any altered behavior was impossible to identify.
Thoughts: NEVER use this subject in another experiment.


Raphael: At extreme risk to life and limb, author goaded subject into following her to location of Pixi Stick. Subject promptly forgot author and ran at it like 1st mentioned subject, similarly inhaling the Stick. Interupted by Foot Soldiers during experiment; however it is noted that subject seemed to gain extra speed and strength from sugar rush given by the powdered candy.
Thoughts: NEVER get near this subject after Pixi Stick inhalation. >_<


Leonardo: Subject, upon discovering Stick, promptly meditated on the colours of the package before slowly wripping it open and downing the contents. Next, subject started back toward the lair, occasionaly mumbling something about being able to "see the colours."
Thoughts: Apparently subject suffers from visual hallucinations due to sugar intake. Could be fun later... ^_^


Splinter: Subject, after kindly asking author to open the Pixi Stick, procedded to slowly (though not as slowly as 2nd subject) consume the powder. Afterwards, author found herself watching as subject flitted around the room, telling each of the Turtles in turn to "use the force."
Thoughts: As wise as the subject is, he apparently becomes REAL cute (and a BIG Star Wars fan) when high on sugar! ^_^


April: After accepting Pixi Stick subject procedded to injest it in stages over workday. No unusual behavior noted.
Thoughts: Next time, catch subject on the weekend!!! >_<


Casey: (Found in park..) After nearly ripping author's hand off to get at the Stick (which author did NOT appreciate BTW), subject seemed to swallow it - package and all. Subject then ran around in circles humming that @#%!* music from Rocky.
Thoughts: Subject needs to at least get a new MUSICAL life!!


[Inspired by Nabs-chan's "How the Inuyasha Cast Eats a Reese's Peanut Butter Cup" fic, which can be (hopefully) found at http://www.angelfire.com/anime/celestialstar/fanfiction/nabs/nabsreeses.html -- in case anyone's interested in where I got the idea; hey! when I'm able to, giving credit where credit is due is 'the thing to do'!]

EDIT: I was able to double-check the fic that inspired mine . . and corrected the above link. It now actually shows you the above-mentioned fic. Enjoy!

redface Thankyou! 3nodding

Heh, I think you captured all the turtles' personalities (and Splinter, Casey and April) quite well! Good job Artue! biggrin

biggrin I'm happy -- I always worry whether fans for a certain character might not like my own writing . . I think I got their personalities down better in this than I tend to in 'larger' stuff . . . sweatdrop My larger stuff tends to end up with some of them a bit out-of-character . . sweatdrop



The hardest part was thinking of what they would do in that situation -- I kind of even tried to think of things that they wouldn't do, and see if I could incorporate it! In fact . . Donnie was the 'trouble child' -- I just couldn't think of anything that he would do under the influence of sugar . . if anyone has any ideas I'd be happy to hear them!



I am so glad that you guys are enjoying this! It took me about 3 days to work on -- during a big patch of writer's block on other fic stuff -- so all this praise is a big help! Thankyou!! 3nodding

I should really try it -- I think this one took like a week to completely finish, which is really quick when I think of my . . . "big" fic . . and, like I said earlier, I tend to have them more in character in my short stuff. sweatdrop Oh well . .

Hey, I was wondering something -- I know we have a Links Topic . . but could we get a Topic page up for links to our favorite fanfics? There are a couple I've found over the years that really got to me, and I'd love to have an excuse to hunt them down and make sure they're still on the web! 3nodding So now you have two reasons to post here! wink

Posting here for two reasons:
1) I've made up the Topic where we can start posting links to our favorite fanfics -- I'm having a struggle with some of mine, but I've got at least one of my favorites up, with a bit of a 'teaser' summary. I hope some of you try it and enjoy it! 3nodding

Note for Ladyavila and MysticMew: the fic I've got linked up right now is very much a Leo one -- surprised to death? wink It's only because I'm struggling with the more Raphie ones at the moment . . but still!

2) I've decided that I might add another of my one-shots here in the near future, and wanted to make sure that everyone was able to know about that!

All that said, I hope my one-shot gets new traffic in here -- I'm trying to share, darnit! Come on, people, read my fic and leave comments! sweatdrop Please!

Very true -- if you can find some funny way of writing that up I, for one, would love to read it! 3nodding
