This would probably be a good time to tell you that she was the one who linked me to your MadaIta FST, which I pillaged like a Viking marauder to further my ancestuous leanings without so much as dropping a line of thanks. Such harlotry :( I'll make up for it, I promise!
Oh my god, I'm not going to rant about Shearwater, but…fine, lies. The Golden Archipelago loops and loops on iTunes anytime I write Itachi. The arrangements are of course stunning (the chords on Hidden Lakes, after a bazillion listens, still give me chills) but it's the lyrics that got me the first time--such poetry! Such unusual diction! Since when do bands write like that?! Unfortunately, I wasted "Castaways," my favorite, on an Itachi/Shisui travesty. Do not be fooled by the blurb. There's some highly concentrated epic fail in that fic, handle with care.
I've never actually seen anyone humanize Madara to the extent you do without giving him an implausible sob story! It was something I struggled with when I was writing "Shoreless," so I was duly impressed. He's such a difficult, delicious character to write, although admittedly I always end up sobbing and hyperventilating after doing so.
DO YOU LIKE ITAHINA?! Is there any chance of fic? *shadily slips cash under table* I have read a total of one ItaHina story I like. ONE. And I notice you have Merlin fic, so I will be popping over there as well, this being one of those fandoms I love reading but am so godawfully intimidated I would never dream of writing anything for it. This is the problem with FFN, you think your writing's fine, and then you pop over to LJ and are just bludgeoned over the head with the talent of all the LJ writers, present company included. Despite the fact that my head's still reeling from the crushing weight of reality, I'm totally friending this journal to keep on top of fic :)
