~ZACKS~
Hello! :D I apologize for being so far behind in finishing things up with my bids on the lj and dw help_japan comms; hopefully this post will at least take care of most things.


Bids on DW help_japan
£5 on shusu's offer here.
£3 on yesyourhighness's offer here.
£5 on inoru_no_hoshi's offer here.
£5 on wei_jiangling's offer here.
£5 on liseuse's offer here.

£12 on pippin's offer here.
£10 on mystiri_1's offer here.
£10 on redfullmoon's offer here.
£15 on chiironiji's offer here.

TOTAL
£125

Using the xe.com currency converter linked on the help_japan posts, that becomes a little under ¥17100 (screencap here).

Accordingly, I've donated ¥17100 to the Japanese Red Cross via the donation page Google set up. Please see this screencap for the receipt (I've edited it to remove the last few digits of the order number only because that also appears in the url, and could thus be used to get my personal info), and I'll be happy to forward the email receipt as well if anyone wants.



Bids on LJ help_japan (as hakuen)
$15 on shusu's offer here.
$15 on sekiharatae's offer here.
$5 on elissacousland's offer here.
$5 on the_madz_hatter's offer here.
$25 on koronda's offer here.
$7 on lumati's offer here.
$15 on nanthimus's offer here.
$10 on wei_jiangling's offer here.
$12 on syolen's offer here.

TOTAL
$109, rounded up to $110 because I like that number better.

I made this donation to Peace Winds America's Japan emergency relief fund, which is being sent right across to Peace Winds Japan (whose website directs people to donate to the American branch for convenience and it'll go to the Japan branch). Please see this screencap for the receipt. I've edited it to remove my legal name & street address; I'll be happy to forward the email receipt with that information intact if an offerer wants.

I also participated in arizonaicerose's v-gift fic offer here, sending zir two of them for, what were they, $2.99 each? So $5.98? I think...

Please note that I suck at math so if my addition is wrong anywhere, I welcome it being pointed out.

EDIT: Ones that I overlooked earlier, for a bonus round of donation:
$10 on moyakite's offer here.
$5 on weavingink's offer here.
$7 on solesakuma's offer here.
$5 on izarith's offer here.
$10 on hideincarnate's offer here.
$7 on sparkism's offer here.

TOTAL
$44, which I'm rounding up to $50.

This donation is also to Peace Winds (see above for more info), the fund going 100% to Japan relief. Please see this screencap for the receipt. And gratuitous J. XDDD


...OMG I THINK THAT'S IT. Phewwwww.

So, the more fun stuff now:


Information for Fanfiction Offers
that I was super lucky enough to win many of.


*** First, since a few people have brought this up now, please feel free to do whatever you'd usually do with your fic as far as posting and so on. ***

If you're going to post it on AO3 and would like to put me as the recipient (which isn't necessary by any means, just if this is what you want to do), then it'd probably be easiest to use 'hakuen' as that's my primary account there.


In all pairings, I'm perfectly happy with '&' where there's a '/', friendship and gen fic are awesome. I list it all as '/' for convenience.

The order of names in pairings below has no particular significance. I like relationships with a fairly equal power exchange and sex happening however people feel like having it happen that time, but if you're a real serious seme/uke kind of writer, no worries, do what you do. :)

I would appreciate it if you'd please try to avoid my listed squicks, but if the story really wants to go that way, do it! Just please give me a warning. First and foremost, write what works for you; I'll be thrilled no matter what, promise. *g*

I like pretty much every genre of fanfiction and revel gleefully in most of the classic tropes. I mention hurt/comfort below in particular because I like the 'hurt' a bit lighter than some people might *g* but please by no means take that as meaning that I only like h/c, or even prefer h/c to other genres, it's just a particular case that I thought to mention. Anything goes, really.

A few of you have asked for prompts that are as specific as possible, because that's how you work best as a writer. That's totally cool, and anyone else out there who wants, feel free to ask me for any level of detailed prompts that you'd like. Just please be aware that it'll take me a while to get back to you! I'm in the middle of a bad spot in school right now and still recovering from having been variously ill for the last two weeks, so things are still going to be coming a little slowly on this end for a while. But I'll be happy to provide prompts if you want them.


Fandoms

These are just particular pairings and characters that I enjoy. Others are often fine too! (Like in Naruto, for example, I love Kakairu and Kakasaku, but didn't list those since they're so common. Feel free to write them anyway, though!) Write what you like, write your OTP or oddball rarepair that nobody else ever wants to see (I'd love to see it :D), it's all cool. If you really want to make sure, holler at me. I'm pretty sure it will indeed all be cool though. XD


Read more... )

Particular likes:

Teamwork is yay. Mutual (or all-around, in the case of OT3+) respect is yay. Sex that doesn't use romance novel euphemisms is yay. UST is great, friendship is great, slash and fightsex and romance and humor and tentacles are great, in combination or not. My idea of 'slash' is all-inclusive, anyone-slash-anyone(-slash-anyone and so on). :D


Squicks:

Anything bad happening to animals, at all, I really can't handle right now. *sadface* Give Kakashi a serious injury and I'm totally on board, give Bessie the cow a limp and I'm a bucket of wah. Idek.

and so on... )


That should probably do it. If you need to get hold of me, the best way is by email, hakuen at gmail. I have been really slow in the last couple of weeks at getting back to people, but the crisis time seems to be over at least for now, so my response time should accordingly improve. *keeps fingers crossed*

I've got a fanfiction offer up at [community profile] help_japan HERE and on the lj edition of that comm HERE. Five bucks could buy my dubious skills and wholehearted efforts toward your prompt(s)! ♥

Anything and everything and everyone that I've seen/read/watched are open targets. If you want me to add to an unfinished fic (hopefully I'll finish it, I don't promise more than another chapter, though ._.;), that's fine as well. And fanfic of fanfic (*winkwink*), and remixes of your work or anyone else's who allows such, and really anything imaginable, it's all cool. I can make you a scarf if you don't want fic! :D Anything!

I don't promise that I'll fulfill pairing requests as shippy, let alone porny. I do promise that I'll try my best. It just may not work out (like if someone asked me to write hide/Yoshiki, or indeed, any X pairings as more than friendly -- I apologize, but that probably will not happen right now; I'd hope they'd have also picked something else as a backup).

I know I've sucked at writing things for a while, having basically only done Yuletide and a 500-word thing or two for the last 3 years, but motivation, ya know?

The Japanese Red Cross is my designated thingy.

So me and [personal profile] hells_bells each signed up for different fic bingos over the last week or so, and we got to talking, and decided it'd be fun to do this...

dream bingo card and explanation )

Yes. I am totally, totally looking forward to this.


edit: Hella's is the encyclopedia of angst -- mine is more like an encyclopedia of, um, crack? D: I guess! Whoops. Really, I just picked the ones that appealed to me most as writeables. So, er, I guess this could almost work as a personality test of sorts too, in its off time? XD

Hella's, for comparison! )

I may be crazy! No, wait, I definitely am.

Probably should have popped up to cross off at least NH and Maine while we were up in Boston, but I was just so. goddamn. exhausted by then.
