"Parallel Lives Do Intersect" [22 Sep 2011|10:21pm] sporadic_writer A/N: I wrote this story a while ago, but I sat on it for a while as I experimented with tense and structure.  I'm not sure I achieved what I wanted, but maybe that's because I wrote it.  The italicized snippet below is from the manga and inspired this story.  Some of the Eiji/Ash interactions are from the manga, but I put my own spin on them. “When I was 14, though.  There was this girl I really loved.  She died before we did anything.  She was murdered.  Because they thought she was my girlfriend.  I couldn’t save her.” “I can’t have a relationship with someone from the straight world.  Because the people in my world just won’t let it happen.” ( Read more... ) Touch My Piece

BF doujinshi - CHEAP! [21 Sep 2011|01:29am] jinsai [ mood | busy ] I`ve recently returned to the US. No longer having a nice big house to store things in, I`m desperately looking to unload a number of anime/manga goods I`ve been holding onto. Thus, I`m selling them very cheaply. Please poke me if interested! Banana Fish doujishi listed here Payment via paypal strongly preferred. Touch My Piece

"In a Lifetime" [03 Jun 2011|10:18pm] sporadic_writer A/N: First of all, I'd like to dedicate this story as a modest gift to Poophat and Nenena for giving me some much appreciated advice earlier.  Secondly, I'd like to share some thoughts on this story.  The first paragraph's dialogue was taken from the manga, but the rest of it I created to portray a potential event in Eiji's past.  The following has no bearing on the main BF plot, so I would consider it a very minor spoiler.  I forget which chapter, but in one of their guy-talk sessions, Ash asks Eiji about his romantic past, and I found the contents of Eiji's think-bubble to be intriguing.  And this story was born.  It is a little bittersweet, it contains an OFC, and it suggests a more intimate relationship between Eiji and Ash than bromance.  ( Read more... ) 9 Gunshots|Touch My Piece

"Important Question" [02 Jun 2011|11:23am] sporadic_writer A/N: Hi all, some of you might remember me. I haven't posted in a while. So, besides having a new story that I'd like to share (and I'll talk a bit more about that in a bit), I'd like to ask you all a question. Perhaps I'm paranoid, but has anyone else received a notification that one of their postings for this group received a comment by someone named "bradleydyl"? The thing is that the summary line has these strange characters in the heading, and at first I believed it to be a foreign language, but I decided to double-check my comments received at this group, and none of my stories show this new comment. Has anyone else had this experience? I haven't opened the e-mail notification because I'm suspicious, and I would appreciate any information about it. I'm sorry for the digression. I was going to post something more relevant when I received this e-mail, but I'm feeling a little nervous about using LJ now. 4 Gunshots|Touch My Piece
