Prompt me!
Those of you who have known me long enough may remember that around 2000-2001(maybe as late as 2002) I tried my hand at writing. Not fanfic-I gave that up at around 17 or so-but original fic. But then the perils of being an English major with philosophy and psychology as double minors (full minors, not a split minor) took over my life, and I was, at any point in time, working on 2-3 papers for school with no time to write anything for myself, and when I finally graduated two years ago, the thought of writing when I didn't have to gave me hives. (For that matter, I had no time to read. A Regency or category romance could take me a week and a half, if not longer. I remember that it took me a month to read an Elizabeth Peters book at one point. Probably why I started reading so much manga. I could squeeze in time for manga and comics. I also remember that it took me a week to watch the first disc of Wolf's Rain.)
But back to the point!
The last few weeks, I've been kind of wanting to write again, but having trouble thinking of anything where I thought I'd actually be happy with a result.
So, anyone want to give me prompts to see if anything can get me motivated? If fanfic instead of original fic, I doubt I could write anything but canon based gen or crackfic.
Somebody could also try to get me to write that Saiyuki crackfic I keep not being able to start where Kougaiji and Sanzo learn that Gojyo taught Goku and Lirin strip poker.

And I checked this book out from the library called The Pocket Muse by Monica Wood (books on writing are my sinful guilty pleasure), so here's some of the prompts from it.
- Create a set of circumstances in which an otherwise reasonable person would indeed cry over spilled milk.
- A man and a woman, unrelated, are trying to get a child down from a tree.
- Write about an appliance, a weapon, or a vehicle being put to a use for which it was not designed.
- Write about a long, fraught ride in a car.
- A character arrives at work to find that her chair is missing. What happened to it?
I don't know how helpful those are. And I've always sort of wanted to see you write Kyo/Yuya fic, crack or otherwise, if only because you have them so well thought out. I think you could do it. Write, for example, what happens just after Yuya flies into Kyo's arms in the last chapter. Don't make it involve molestation (or, you know, if you want to, go ahead).

So write what happens after Yuya can walk again. I'm not picky.

Shinrei/Yuya? Wha ? Just because of the damn waterwyrm kiss?

I think you could argue that how he gave her the waterwyrms might indicate an attraction, but I don't really think you can defend anything past that beyond some respect for her guts and loyalty, and certainly nothing on Yuya's side. I mean, pretty much all she's ever said to him would essentially boil down to "OMG how dare you insult my boyfriend! He'll kick your butt!"
I think the defense is that, outside of that, despite being quite highstrung, he's probably as close to gentlemanly as you get if you're a Mibu aside from Kyoshiro and Muramasa. (For that matter, if you expand it to the rest of the cast, could you really add anyone but Akira and Yukimura? And that's really only if they feel like it...)
But uhm, you know, she spent somewhere around 1/4 of the series dying because of him...
