So I woke up with the strangest desire to write a Code Geass fic. Since it's set post-series, I'll put the general fic idea beneath spoiler text:

So Suzaku and Nina are fighting terrorists with her sort of being the Q to his James Bond, only he's angsty and dorky, not suave, and also, she and Nunnaly are the only ones who's supposed to know he's alive. They're trying to preserve the peace and keep Nunnaly from being overthrown and also kinda doing penance because let's face it, they have a lot to make up for. Somewhere along the line Suzaku realizes that he needs the help from someone who's as good in a Knightmare as himself so he recruits Kallen, who isn't exactly surprised he's alive Spin!Zero!Zaku, but not all that happy about it, either.

I've never wanted to write in Code Geass fandom before, or read in it for that matter. It's just one of those shows I watched and was done with. I'm the same with Harry Potter. Read the books, don't need anything else.

This was the only thing I ever did for Princess Tutu. That show was just perfect the way it was, didn't need anything else.

I don't know what it is. If it was just the tightness of the plot, why aren't I all over Code Geass and Harry Potter? If it was about how many characters I love, why aren't I writing the heck out of Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha? (There's even a ten-year time gap there!)

Why is it that Gundam Wing remains the one show I've had, and have, lots of ideas for? (And I mean lots.) The only ones that've come close to rivaling GW for me are X-Men and Elfquest, and really, I didn't write that much for them.

Obviously, how much room I think there is for stories is part of the reason, as is how involved I got with the world and the characters. But it can't be all. Maybe it's just my quirks.

If I had gone for an MA in literature instead of language, I know exactly what my thesis would have been about.

I would write about how the Arthurian myth has been reimagined in modern times.

The focus would be on Mists of Avalon, Camelot 3000, AKOTAS, the Babylon 5 episode A Late Delivery from Avalon, and these two Justice League (Unlimited) episodes.

Maybe I'll write it anyway.

Some time later.

Seems like my new years' resolution is shot to hell, eh?

I just wanted to make one small comment on Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows:

I enjoyed it. It was a page-turner.

Now I'll sit back and watch the Potterdammerüng.

FANFIC AUTHORS' APPRECIATION DAY WEEK: March 6 through March 13
Post to your LJ each day at least one of your favorite fanfic authors and why you love them, their work, and why they need more appreciation.

Let's see, I have for the 6, 7 and 8. Let's see if I can get to today.

Minisinoo writes the best Scott fics on the 'net. Period. She's a professional writer, and it shows. You need a few days to get through one of her series, but it's worth it.

Jane St. Clair has a rather special writing style. There are some of her stories that I don't read because I don't approve of the pairing, but every Alpha Flight and X-Force story she's written, I've read. She's really good.

And lastly, Camwyn, author of Hellblazer: Hogwarts. Over at Straight To Hell, they commented that this crossover with Harry Potter was better than a lot of the Hellblazer comics had been.
