I'm sorry if I don't post anything for a while as 'someone' has let out all the bunnies to run amock across the fields of wild flowers. Besides, my Inuyasha (youkai form) figurine has just been delivered today, and I'm currently drooling over it

So everything has been put on hold for the moment, at least until things calm down on my end. But as if you care (especially you fanfiction.net readers), you just want to see what happens next, either that, or simply getting confused about what I just wrote. Yep, that's me: make you wait and get you confused at the same time Though, no one has told me exactly where their confusion lies, so I would probably guess that it would be my terrible writing.

Don't mind me, I'm just remembering some bad fanfics about how easily people can kill off characters...

You may or may not have read this story, it certainly one of the popular pieces, with an easy storyline and cutesy romance. It’s an AU high school story where Inuyasha, the (surprisingly) most popular and hottest guy in school – because one always needs ‘that kind of boy’ at school – is going out with the quietest girl in school, Kagome. But in a twist, no one knows about their relationship. Of course there are the normal problems of every high schooler: keeping their secret, secret, much to our favourite hanyou’s chagrin (he wants the whole world to know how beautiful Kagome really is), and the certain problem of, wait for it... Kikyou, who like the bitch she is, tries to make everyone see that she is the girlfriend of Inuyasha.

A normal day at high school...

Anyway, as we go along, we find out why Kagome is such a quiet and meek student, or more specifically, why she has become so quiet in the more recent years. She used to be so happy, Inuyasha remembers. And no, Kikyou plays no part in the betrayal and deception. Thank god.

Apparently, as all happy people turn into sad people because of tragic event, Kagome had a happy family life, a doting fashion model mother, a father, and a younger brother, all happy and lovely. That is until the father dies, in suspicious circumstances. The mother remarries, and if you do have enough life experience of reading such stories, you will know that the step father is a psychotic arsehole. We are just not told, yet. Oh yes, the mother died too (I think).

So, as Inuyasha and Kagome are going on their anniversary date, Kagome happens to notice that some television show is showing her mother’s past life as a model. They react in shock as they see the images of her mother, so happy, her husband by her side, and the daughter. Everyone’s eyes are transfixed to the pictures, but Kagome’s mind is filled with many questions as to how such tapes were released, tapes which were meant to stay hidden so they could not even think of trying to find out the truth behind them. How’s that for convenience?

Now with questions fuelling them, they set off trying to find out the answers. They drive this way and that, travelling on the train to each exciting location, finding truths, finding twists in the plot, more truths; they are unstoppable, until at last, they reach a final conclusion and a happy ending.

And, don’t forget, Kikyou gets pwned, that satisfies as a happy ending, doesn’t it?
Now before anyone complains that they did in fact like this story, let me say that I found it okay. It’s not something that you would read when you want a challenge, but a story that is short and sweet, and not much of a headache. So sweet in fact, that I almost got a toothache instead.

Nearly every chapter, especially the later ones, it becomes quite hilarious at how many times Inuyasha and Kagome say ‘I love you’. I don’t know what this preoccupation is with saying as many ‘I love you’, ‘I love you too’ as much as they can, as if their life depended on it. I know it is young love, but my goodness, don’t give me so much cheese. And I do mean every bit of cheese is in it.

*sigh*

Then again, I wouldn’t understand such complexities of the heart.

*Sigh* sometimes I wished I lived in America, just long enough so that I can watch the new Inuyasha episodes. Oh well, I can wait, like so many things...

And I need a rest, after reading that particular story (oh, the pain. That stupid tampon story). So, I decided to watch Agatha Christie's "Poirot" series, and it's damn addictive. If you ever get the chance, and a few hours to spare, you should watch it. It sure helps 'ze little grey cells' from having a meltdown.

So excuse me for being distracted for a while.

Thanks Because of you, graciously giving me examples of wonderful Inuyasha fanfics, that I... I am completely speechless.

I just couldn't keep these things gems to myself.

So it begins with Kagome mulling over (again) about how her day had gone from okay to "I can't believe this is happening to me". Here we go again, what is it this time, Kagome? Can't we have a story where you are actually, I don't know, happy, cheerful? Is it really that hard? Look, I know you are trying for emotional depth, but it's just turning out to be a soap opera.

Anyway, we find out that they were actually having a good time: touching, caressing, kissing, and other sorts of foreplay, which would of course have led to sex, with Kagome moaning Inuyasha's name over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over again... That is until, and with a sniffle as the miko remembers, Inuyasha, in the heat of passion, says the wrong name.

LOL! Oh, oops, this is a drama, right? Sorry, but I thought these things were reserved for comedies.

Well, just like that, everything comes crashing down. Kagome slowly picks up her clothes and walks away (it's a change from running), leaving him just gawking there, having an awkward and naked feeling surround him. She arrives home, crying, moping, and then has a hot soak in the bath. Now, what happened to the angry Kagome, where her temper was just as strong as the hanyou's. Do you remember that? Oh well, here's some chocolate ice cream to help with your emo mood. Her mother comes in, and says out loud that it must be crying season. Gee, thanks mum.

Meanwhile, Inuyasha is moping as well, sitting on his tree waiting for Kagome to come back. Did the well suddenly could not work and you couldn't, go there?! Or did he just forget? Inuyasha and Kagome seem to be forgetting how to play their own character, aren't they? It's so strange. It's like, someone other than Takahashi-san is pulling and pulling on strings, making them do things against their will. Miroku, Sango and Shippou are no better, hiding from the hanyou, and saying out loud their commentary on the situation. He is a half demon, he can hear you, you know.

Seven days has passed, there is an event where ramen makes Inuyasha turn into a youkai, the beef flavoured noodles having stirred up thoughts about Kagome like: "Mate, where is she? Where is my bitch?" (Don't ask). And then finally, Kagome arrives, looking very odd indeed, not to mention speaking so politely, 'so unlike her', bowing her head at the right times and such. Apparently, she has lost some weight, and I mean in a bad way (suicide alert), and for some reason, she has decided to cosplay as Kikyou, even deliberately putting on strong perfume (slut alert! Come on, everyone knows that sluts where strong perfume). Inuyasha is upset by this, saying why she is dressed up in such a bad costume. And she, like a mad woman, answers with how sorry she is at being so late, then asks him if he likes her new clothes, shoes, etc... Of course he replies by saying nothing except, why?

Ooh, bad answer, and what we get is whole paragraphs of ranting and raving about why isn't she good enough like Kikyou, how she worked so hard to make this costume, how she is never perfect like Kikyou, why do you keep running to her, while she is willing to sacrifice everything to be with him? And on and on and on. Gods, does she talk too much.

And where does this lead up to, you may ask? Of course they make up, say their "I love you", "No I love you", "She is in the past, you're my future" and all that jazz. All that angst to be washed away by only a few paragraphs?

But that is not what pissed me off, and I will never get over this. After all the over the top love confessions, Kagome smiles in triumph. Now, correct me if I'm wrong, triumph means winning over something. Does this mean Kagome went through all that, the extreme diet, the cosplay, and the bad perfume, just to trick Inuyasha into spilling out a love confession? What a conniving, little... DDDDDDDAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!

You could have picked a better word than that!







...








And how about this story?


OMG! How's this for the best plot line ever made. Inuyasha thinks tampons are food and starts inhaling them like he inhales ramen. He eats so much that he starts to choke. Sango calls Kagome for help, which takes five minutes for her to get there. Kagome performs CPR, and then as thanks, Inuyasha has sex with her. The end.


... I... have no words for this one.







Wait, I do,

OMG, WHAT THE F$#% IS THIS?! THIS IS SUPPOSED TO BE A STORY?! I KNOW I'M NOT A SMART PERSON, BUT I KNOW WHAT F%$#@!*% FOOD IS! WHAT DO YOU THINK HE IS, A F%$#@*% MORON WITH NO BRAINS? S^&%#, EVEN STUPID PEOPLE KNOW NOT TO EAT PLASTIC AND COTTON, UNLESS YOU THOUGHT HE WAS SOME KIND OF RETARD. AND YOU MADE HIM EAT HOW MANY?!! AAAAAAHHHHHH!!!! THIS STORY HURTS! IT HURTS IT HURTS IT HURTS IT HURTS IT HURTS IT HURTS IT HURTS!!!! WHY DID YOU MAKE HIM PRAY TO THE TAMPONS FOR MORE SEX?! EVERYTHING BURNS!!!!!!!!!!!

AAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I woke up this morning to find the sky was a dusty orange colour. Apparently Sydney was covered under one big dust cloud.

There are over 89,000 Inuyasha fanfics?! Too bad most of them are crap, containing stories about Kagome going to a new high school with demons (or not), and then finds love. Or a story about vampires (great, now I'm seeing those 'things' everywhere), where she finds love. Or she finds Inuyasha and Kikyou going at it, she runs, runs, runs, until she can run no longer, gets attacked, then finds love with the first man she sees. Goes into an alternate universe, where she finds love. Or she's a princess, where she finds love. Perhaps a more piratey theme is to your taste? Or she sees Inuyasha declaring his love for Kikyou, and Kagome's chronic condition of the runs flares up, thus she runs straight away into Kouga awaiting arms.

Why are most of the stories like this? Do you have no shame? And the angst and lemons are no better, with plenty of them written by thirteen years olds. No wonder some people want to ban the aging up of characters when you see these things around, glaring at you with their love-struck eyes.

You see why I hate romance stories. All the men end up like sissies, and the women end up as bitches. Bunch of whiners. Who cares if Inuyasha has called you a shard detector. It's people like you that continue to harp on two words. The one time you can sit him, you decide to run and cry, or run into Sesshoumaru's arms. Oh no, he would never insult you. He will hug you, and kiss you and give you all of his girl babies. AAAAAAAAAAWWWWWWWWWWWW

How about the Inuyasha 'sitting'? Find that fun? Me too! Just let me find a baseball bat and hit you in the face while screaming 'sit' a hundred times on top of my lungs! (And if you can find that particular story where Kagome sits Inuyasha as a practical joke, please send them my way! And the one about the car going into Sengoku jidai).

And to think, these jewels were written by emotional girls...





...






Well, enough of that. Anyway, I was wondering if anyone would be interesting in a writing Inuyasha fanfic challenge?
