It'd be a tie between summer and fall - most likely early summer, and early fall. There's something about the lighting I like... and it's not too cold, and not too hot. There's also something about the music I tend to listen to. I was chatting with a friend about it at work, and he pointed out that what we listen to works pretty damn well with fall. Since then, can't stop listening to it... @_@.

Dressing up as the Grim Reaper for the office's costume party. All I'm missing a scythe, which I'm gonna get later on today. I'm not guaranteed to be scheduled on that date though. Oh well, I'll show up anyways! XD.

Personally I don't see anything wrong about living fantasies - as extreme as they are at times - as long as it doesn't hurt anyone or themselves. Writing is a good way, for me, to take out some sort of aggressivity. I don't write only violence, but I do enjoy exploiting the dark side of my characters when times call for it. Since I dabble a lot in medieval fantasy, I see it working out. However, for my more modern-ish stories, I'm less into violence. Guess it's a reality too close to me to write comfortably. It's kinda hard for me to write a warrior-based fic without violence, especially when the society rewarded for it at some extent.

I'm not a major fan of the exclusively top/bottom relationships within fandoms. For some characters it works, but for most, it wouldn't. It really depends of their personalities and the society or culture they revolve around, and then how they'd react to it... And most would agree on being versatile. It's insane how some people are willing to take some characters very OOC to keep with the top/bottom idea. That totally throws me off. I know not everyone's familiar with Final Fantasy 4, but Kain Highwind and Cecil Harvey are a pretty common pairing. Cecil's more feminine, look-wise - but his personality more or less matches it. He's gentle, true... but for hell's sake, he's not a crying bottom. He's more likely to fight for dominance. If you're going to make him exclusively bottom, at least, go for the D/s relationship based on how it allows him to relieve the stress he's under (ruling a heavily militarized country, the medieval society they live in, etc), while this gives Kain the feeling of having even more power (mounting the king... out of everyone in the world...). At least something that won't make them OOC. Please. I'll admit, I like height differences. Small bottom / tall top. I dig it. But I won't do it if it clashes with characters' personalities. That's for fandoms anyways, because when it comes to original characters... Then again, it depends of the culture they live in. In my original story, both guys are pretty tall (6'2 and 6'4). They have roughly the same build too. They're both warriors. Homosexuality wasn't unheard of, and it wasn't much of a big deal - as long as you were the top, because it meant you were powerful enough to mount another guy, therefore powerful enough in combat. Now the bottom was thought of to be less manly, and more at risk of being "defeated" on the battlefield. So my "bottom" is an over-aggressive swordsman because he's constantly trying to prove his prowess in combat... because his "top" loves the power of mounting another guy and won't give it up easily. Over time, it'll become the main source of frustration. (But I'm nice, I'll have them work it out).

Two main inspirations: video games and music. Music for the thematics or basic ideas, video games for the storytelling, pacing, and action/adventure/fantasy sides. Though both are somewhat interchangeable. I recently got into Scandinavian folk/Viking metal, which sparked ideas for the whole Norse warrior idea I'm exploring with my new original story. Moreso than video games on this one: I just put a battle-themed song and there we go, bloody fight scene. I could get that from games easily (cue Skyrim) but nope, music is the way to go for me, at least for this story. Same with the fanfics I'm writing to on and off - couple songs from the band is all it takes. Also not hard to write slash when the band is renowned for being very comfortable with each other.

eroburn: awww he saved the little bumpkin Yep! He did XD. I can't let Skjaldr have all the fun in being a hero, Asgeir needs to have his moments as well XD.

eroburn: this is a very cute story:) and i love the names carry on Thank you! I'm glad you like their names, because I totally love them too XD. They more or less fit in the modern AU parts, but I can't seem to find fitting "modern" names... and it would be confusing anyways. So I kept their original Old Norse names.

Season: Pittwitch: Aw, a sweet seasonal moment in the snow ... I had to XD. I'm not usually a very fluffy writer, but I wanted something sweet. I spent a long time figuring out the setting; I could see them walking through an old European city/town at night, or a narrow street only lit up by moonlight. And the snow. Light, sparkling, pure white snow... They weren't supposed to end up rolling/fighting in it, but for that, you have to thank Children of Bodom's recording diary videos XD. Playful fighting in the snow~

Seashore: Thank you! Originally the boat was stopping and staring at them' date=' but I had to cut it short XD. Actually my earlier versions implied public sex on a beach, but I couldn't bring myself to it XD. Thank you as well! XD. Well, Skjaldr really set himself up for it. It was his fault! Not that Asgeir minds, mind you. He's more than willing. He'll get his chance at coming, fear not. XD.

I'm not an English-speaking native - my native language is French. It's what I grew up in, and I know it affects my use of English. Especially if I work when I'm tired, whereas my translations are sometimes done word-by-word and thus completely unidiomatic *facepalm*. But I have a beta for it, and she knows what to look for XD. I use awkward syntax at times too, and I know I sub prepositions for others at time. Overall though, I don't think my English is horrible. I've had many, many comments how I have a nearly perfect American accent... while other people know de facto I'm a Quebecer (back when I was working for Bell Canada, some English-speaking clients *fucking hated it*). I try hard to keep to my stories' context. Example: I'm currently working in a Viking age setting. I've had to adjust to the dynamics, the areas, what pushed their berserker buttons (literally!) and thus, the slang. I'm dealing with gay main characters, but I can't exactly use "gay", "homosexual" and other modern slang, at least in dialogue. Even during narration I'll opt for other words, because I don't wanna break the context for my readers. The concept of homosexuality was known, but not as we know it today; for instance, they made a clear difference between passive/bottom and aggressive/top. It's what I'll be using a lot more soon, especially since their personalities is tied up to those concepts. I think it can be both easier and harder if your native language isn't English. I work in localization - this is the exact job I have: to make sure the translations are suited for the target, located in a different area, speaking in a different language, can relate to the context. Yeah, you can talk about George W. Bush and Clinton here in Quebec, and people will relate. But it'll be twenty times more effective if you refer to Jean Chrétien (ex Canadian Prime Minister) or Jean Charest (current Quebec Prime Minister). This is why I love the Quebec version of The Simpsons, because it uses both foreign and local references... at the right time. It's balanced. As for spelling... well personally I go with American English even if I'm Canadian. I don't have a defined target audience, and the differences between American and Canadian English is mostly that we use some UK spellings. So grey/gray... I'll try to get set on ONE variant, otherwise I'm comfortable writing both. I think they actually vary within my stories. It's something I can pick up on my own, because inconsistencies get to me. So if they're consistently spelled one way in the series, I won't even notice it. But I'll notice if "colour" is used once when "color" is used throughout the chapter or story.

Hi hi! I'm looking for some Alexi Laiho slash. The little guy's just adorable. Since I'm already working on two projects and planning a third on the sidelines (my poor muse is working overtime), I thought I'd request. I have something for pretty boys being topped by older/gruffer/taller guys. I'm aware of Children of Bodom's stage and offstage antics (especially with Janne Wirman - oh god the pictures! *drools*), so feel free to exploit that... or anything else for that matter. Also a big fan of rough albeit consensual sex. I'm open to any plots, or lack thereof - PWP welcome. I can throw ideas if anyone's up for it. TL;DR: Just wanna see Alexi Laiho getting it rough. XD

It's been a while since I last updated, but chapter 3 is now up! I finally figured out my formatting issues, and I'm headed out to fix chapter 2. Enjoy, and don't forget to review!

XD I might have to write it after all. Skjaldr would so do it, probably on a dare, lol. I'm not thinking about him strutting about to "Stayin' Alive", no, I swear...
