But moreso, I hate having deep conversations at school. I hate being forced to have deep conversations at school.

I don't even know why, exactly.

( here's what happened )


Uh. Sorry for two negative posts in a row.

LOL I haven't started on Nanowrimo. Not sure if I actually will do it this year. Oh well. I'm determined to set the ideas in my head to words. Just not any time soon.

Also, random, but OH MY GOD I WANT ONE SO BAD!! So much pretty!

 Hi! I wanted to invite everyone to atla_sixwords  for all your super-short shipping (and other Avatar-related) needs! Please come by and check it out or pass the word along! Thanks!

 I know this is highly unoriginal, but I was browsing sixwords  and its affiliates and was surprised to not find any Avatar sixword communities...

So I made one! Because there are too many random crackfics and drabbles to not have six words to share them! If anybody wants to wander over to atla_sixwords  and join in the posting we'd love to have you!

Reminders:

After looking through the Secret Santa requests so far, it seems that a number of community members have yet to finish Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days, so the community restrictions on spoilers will still continue throughout November.

Speaking of Secret Santa- if you haven't signed up yet, please do so here! ♥

Remember:

You're allowed to vote for yourself, but unless you think your drabble was exceptionally good, please refrain.

Remember: Pick your top three, and if you're not the one who posted the challenge, leave the challenger's vote box empty. We've already indicated the challenger's name, so if that's not your name there, don't put your vote in the challenger's box. Everyone's vote counts, but the one that gets the vote of the challenger gets an extra five points.

(First Choice: 3 points, Second Choice: 2 points, Third Choice: 1 point, so please vote the drabbles in the order that you like the most)

Also, please note that the challenger votes only once, in the challenger's voting box.

When voting, please put in only the number. It makes it easier for the mod to calculate results rather than constantly referring to the list of challengers. Also, I'm aware that I may make mistakes. Please inform me if I missed a challenger out.

The winner will be announced in this post so please come back to it.

I think I need food, because I keep thinking about cake. Fuck you, Marie Antoinette.

How do I draw? Let me count the ways:


01) Pick a theme/fandom/draw a fucking horse.
02) Listen to music/read a fic/write a fic/draw a fucking horse.
03) Get an image in my head/draw a fucking horse.
04) Decide what to focus on - what am I trying to get across to my potential audience/draw a fucking horse.
05) Decide what I want to see and draw/draw a fucking horse.
06) Doodle the fuck out of it in my notes/draw a shit load of horses in the meantime.
07) Try and get it down on regular sketchbook paper/draw a few horses in the margins.
08) Throw massive fits/draw some horses angrily.
09) Admit that I can't always have my cake and eat it, too/stop drawing horses.
10) Decide fuck no, I'm gonna have my goddamn cake and in my stomach/doodle horses?
11) Decide I'm gonna draw two different drawings to get everything across/draw some horses.
12) Wait for class to end so I can sketch out the two new ideas/work on my NaNo.


I really need to work on my NaNo.

Hey again! I has yet more fan art. These have been sitting in my camera memory card for forever and so I've decided that they must be set free. And so here I am! Enjoy my dear KH fans!
