So several things have happened and they are good things. I'm writing again. Really. It's a great feeling to have several pages of notebook papers filled with story ideas that knowing me will probably never get done but I'm really happy anyway.

This newest string of pairing is from YouTube, watched a few ShikaIno music vids and suddenly I just want to write and do stuff for this pairing. I'm an utter sucker for falling in love with your best friend. I did it, and I didn't have the past that some of these ficitional characters can have but this is my favorite pairing cliche and it's down right addicting. Bwen, which is kinda sorta on hiatus for me (AF done and killed my muses, I don't know if'll they ever come back :( ) fell happily into this category and now this one really hit. Bad thing is that it's rather troublesome reading, writing and looking for stuff.

Most of the fanfiction is really immature, (is this the Naruto fandom in general though? I fear it might be the case) mostly going around "Shikamaru, you're my boyfriend so buy me stuff!" which I don't like. When I was dating my hubby before he was my hubby and I didn't have money to buy something I liked I was embarrassed and didn't make him go buying it for me, so this mentality of boyfriend = I get all contents in his wallet is freaking irritating.

Temari is usually an OOC bitch in these too, bent completely to ruin poor Shikamaru's life and ruin whatever chance he has with Ino. Which I can't stand. If Temari wanted to ruin a life, she'd just freaking kill the person, seriously. I think stooping to emotions is something complicated and just too much trouble, a kunai or a well placed fan move would do the job just nice. But I'm also a sandcest fan [ 1.) Admit it, there's something horribly wrong with all three siblings, they get better eventually, but they aren't normal. 2.) The concept is fascinating to me. ]

And if it wasn't for this, there's a story that involves mind control, I loved the smexy part but when it came down to on Ino's end she saw most of it as rape and that kind of broke me. The way Shikamaru was portrayed, he would never have done any of that if he had a clue what was going on. From what I could tell his theory was completely off but still, I don't think he's the kind of guy to rape his friend since childhood. What is with the need to add enough drama for not only a freaking soap opera but also a three ring circus. It's ridiculous!

So... I found a need. Someone has got to write good ShikaIno and have them get past their personal issues which, personal issues in my opinion are far more messier and far more entertaining than someone trying to ruin another person's life out of spite. The few good fiction I found, was either InoShikaCho where Shika was more into Chouji than Ino... it was good, I love that author's work but I also love the idea that Ino has always been the girl to Shikamaru.

So I'm happily busy. Sorry to people who watch me and this isn't the stuff you want from me. I can't force Bwen as much of you know you can't force your stuff and I don't want to try to force it anymore. If something comes and I have the time, I'll post it. But right now I really gotta go with what muses are alive and bother to talk to me.

Thanks for reading this, everyone. If you don't want to watch/friend/whatever me, I think I understand.

Summary: Ino's last mission goes horribly wrong. Captured and imprisoned in a fashion beyond her worse imagining, can she possibly keep her promise to Shikamaru?
Author's Notes: Not my usual fandom and not my usual pairing. But I'm a sucker for the best friends forever turned lovers. This is going to be a multi-shot.

Another BenxGwen video. I got millions of projects, but this is the first completed project done in Sony Vegas x.X

My video clips should be much better than before since I didn't take them from VOBs to AVIs to whatever, whatever. But I still edited them when they were WMV... not that I perfer that, but I can save more with that format than with others... And this song? With this pairing? I've been wanting to do it forever. I think this is one of the best songs for Ben/Gwen, it's one that describes them pretty well.

*completely ignores the 80-something she knows she has on the 100 prompt table*
I think I need MOAR. Just something different and new to get the creative juices flowing.

06.	Alone	07.	Destiny	08.	Follow	09.	Haunted	10.	Eternal

Ring and Why? are repeats from the original 100 post, but I always had two different stories for them anyway. Ring, definately. For the Why? maybe it's time Ben asks some questions and get some answers from Gwen. XD

Summary: Gwendolyn Tennyson is a half-creature, stuck between two worlds and feeling not enough to be in either one.
Author's Notes: This has been sitting on my hardrive for a while and was written before I was comfortable with the Alien DNA so there's half that and half magic as I was trying to wrap my mind around things. So it needs work. But I felt like updating with something.

So Ben and Gwen won't let me write about them... but they also won't let me write about anything else. What a couple of bratty muses. *grrs*

So since I'm not writing anything...

[Bwen] Broken [R.A.T]

[Bwen] Being Me

P.S. This is my 50th Bwen post on my LJ. Hooray! Now for another 50 more...

*gigglesnort* My 10th video on YouTube, among the Bwen and Bevin I've done...



This started the reason why I wrote that crack fic. I can't finish this, I need more *new* Ben-less Julie scenes, dammit!! So there's some good things to (hopefully) look forward to the new season. Besides I already don't want to see the new season and I totally have little reason or want to write Bwen or do anything Bwen related... so maybe I should do something KevLie, just to get some creative juices flowing...

*sighs* I need me a new avatar for this pairing. Or something.

Summary: It's not about them. It's not even personal. The game was between Ben and Gwen, they were just stuck watching from the sidelines.
Author's Notes: Beyond this being a pairing that... quite frankly, would end a lot of headaches AF gives me, there's something about it I really like.

( You're being used, you know )

Crack pairing, yes. Expect more :D

Seriously, I am not sure what the inspiration is to make Bevin music videos. I can say that I enjoy them and I learn a lot from them.




Now, next post should be something Bwenish. Because it should. But it'll also be my 50th Bwen post to my LJ. Am I crazy to think that it should be something worthwhile? What would be a good thing?

There's four choices. Let's make it a poll. Comment and give me a reply, pretty please.

Back to Bwen... because an OTP is an OTP is an OTP.



There is some things I dislike about this. Long instrumental parts for one... I feel like my clips are too long here but I didn't want to shorten them because I liked the Ben and Gwen being a team again.

Also I tried to flip perspectives... so when it comes to the "Don't Fall Away..." parts, Ben's vision gets blurry with the Gwevin and Gwen's vision is blurry with the BenxJulie thing. I don't much care about canon and figure I can make this video anyway I damn well please. I just wished it pleased me more...

I made a Bevin video. There is no love for this pairing on YouTube. WHY???

Also, I'll ship BEVIN before I ship GWEVIN. Too bad that BWEN takes most of my time, eh?



1.) I am not quitting the Bwen ship. Hell no, I just needed a small break.
2.) This was lots of fun, but I find Bevin still difficult to read or even write.
3.) Really on #1. From this break, I already know what my next BMV is XD

My sixth video... but only the fourth I've shared in public XD



I actually used Ben 10 Alien Force for the majority of the clips. But I can't leave my beloved old series so expect that in there too. Did I do a good job combining the two the way I did? Let me know, tell me dangit!

Haven't done any of these for a while, so I thought I'd give it another go. These are different screenshots I turned into 100x100 LJ icon size for the heck of it. Use them as a base, whatever. If you do use, I much not care about the credit but more know what you did with them, if possible. <3

S.o.t.O hug1	Handcuffs	Closeness	S.o.t.O hug2	Flyin'	GfO'd Hug

There's lots of more scenes ((like more with handcuffs <3 )) I'll wanna do but for now this is all I got for now.

This one went really smooth. Like freaky smooth. Some things are too long, some things need more adding, but otherwise, for going so fast I think it went together pretty well. I'm tempted to see if there's a free movie editor out there besides Windows Movie Maker. Just to try different things. I won't be doing anything useful for the rest of this month. Just... too many hours. My head is buzzing from how tired I am but I wanted to upload this and all before I left for a bit.



Edit: It says to wait for it to process, so hopefully that will be soon? No matter, I have to get some sleep now. I've got 18 more hours this work week to finish, and then I dumbly offered to do 4 hours on my only day off. There must be no rest for the wicked.

Comments are nice, and are absolute love.

Man, these are fun to make :D This is my second one... I tried working better with timing and matching scenes up with lyrics. Which was the hard part.

Originally, this was supposed to just be a Ben 10 tribute. But the "you" in the song kept turning into Gwen, so I had to have it "right before her eyes" or attempted to do that. This one is probably a work in progress. I really want to keep working on this idea. ^__^



Comment here, comment on youtube... just comment, dangit! :p

Sometimes I get so stuck with writing, and feel so out of touch with the Ben 10 fandom I was wondering if anyone was interested in writing a Bwen round robin. Where it will be hosted and all that is up in the air and to be determined if there is enough interest.

I was thinking a paragraph to no more than 100 words max at a time to be added to the story. And just see where a bunch of authors or would be authors can take the kissing cousins with this.

For those needing information what a round robin is I suggest this link here.

I made my first music video with Ben and Gwen!! I am so excited. It probably is really bad and gonna make your eyes bleed but here it is none the less XD

Happy Fourth of July to the American readers. Happy day to my International readers! I'm sorry I haven't written in a while but I have a Bwen fic for those who have been waiting forever for a story from me. Thank you for your patience, hopefully the next wait just won't be so long.

( Got a-- like a Date? )

So I'm back... kinda sorta. I got internet connection, a PAID LIVEJOURNAL ACCOUNT (whoo! no more ads and I get more userpics!!) a graphic tablet, and inspiration... but I'm also still doing the crazy overtime. And then I have a house on top of this of stuff to take care of.

I love my house. I haven't painted anything or started any major projects but I plan on painting probably in the winter? Anyway, I'm mowing the lawn and taking care of my garden-- I have strawberry plant, tomato plants, onion, garlic, and jalopeno peppers growing. Hopefully I'll be able to make salsa this fall. ^__^

Anyway, I put this on DA but with my new found photogallery I'll post it here too.

( CLICK! )

I need to do more. And I need to write. Is it sad to say that drawing is almost easier because you only have on scene to do and no damn plots? I'll post more when I get them. ^_^
