At first I was having trouble switching my "random favorites" back to "recent favorites". Then this widget thing, neglectful of my spontaneous clicking, allowed me to delete the box on my profile page that contained my favorites. So now they're not on display, and it doesn't give me the option to bring them back! Why the hell are these features not idiot-proof?

If anyone knows how I can put my favorites back on display on this profile page, that'd be terrific ... particularly without me having to subscribe to DA.

It feels a bit ridiculous posting my fourth journal entry with not a single comment in my other three. Just trying to fill space, I guess. My creative side isn't very prolific, but I'm gonna list the titles for which I have fanfiction planned anyway.

Secondhand Lions (movie).

Little Shop of Horrors (movie).

Steamboy (movie, and a fantastic movie no matter what anyone else says).

Dark Moon Diary (graphic novel that was never published).

Toonami (the characters who hosted the Cartoon Network action block from 2000 to 2003 or '05).

A Place in Space (yet-unpublished comic by fellow deviant Nanashi ... I can't believe how long it's been since I decided to write this).

WEll, my first fanfic is up and ... not yet receiving comments, but maybe I'll have a few before the year is over. I'll post it on fanfiction.net soon. And it's probably best if you don't look at it as a Pokemon fanfic. It's much more fun than that POC show, and is meant to be an adventure story set in a completely original universe ... that just happens to have pokemon in it. Those little kaiju are just necessary for the story, that's all. Yeah.

Here's a survey/quiz thing stolen from who stole if from who stole it from somebody whom I can't remember, who probably stole it from somebody I'm not even aware of... The survey is for fan-characters.


-What is your character's name?
(K) Kiyo Sandrich. (N) Neesha Sandrich. (P) Patrick Yeager.

-What kind of character is it (furry, anime, etc)
(K) An original character based on one of the repetitive “clones” who made up the community in the first Pokemon game. (N) Taken from the first Pokemon movie, but given an original last name (even though her fist name was never uttered in the movie) and a personality reflecting (if I can write that good) my cousin Janet’s. (P) Original character inspired by many sources.

-What is the first thing your character would think of when he/she first wakes up?
Don’t know; they're all very underdeveloped.

-Your character's favorite outfit would be?
(K) wears mostly normal dark clothes, always complete with his white overcoat (which was originally a labcoat). (N) You can see in the movie. (P) Stuff like loose and-or sleeveless shirts, cargo pants, and some more rugged clothing to compensate (he relaxes and enjoys life in the Bahamas/Jamaica, but is sometimes involved in dangerous situations).

-When your character looks into a mirror, what's the first thing they would notice?
(K) The thatch of brick-red hair that covers a third of his face. (N) Herself, I guess ... I must consult my cousin for this. (P) His sunglasses and dreadlocks.

-Does your character have the same tastes in food as you?
Yes and no. They all like some things I do, but a whole shitload of things I don’t or probably wouldn’t.

-How is your character similar to you?
(K) He has no real sense of fashion and doesn’t talk to people much. (N) She has a fondness for adventure stories and thrillers (more strongly, I’m sure, than my cousin), but also for *anything* that catches her very broad intellectual interests. (P) I really can’t think of anything. Maybe...he has integrity (though more than me), and isn’t sure that how he sees people is accurate (though he’s better at it than me).

-How is he/she different?
(K) Well, I suppose he feels closer to his family (or is at least more aware of said closeness) and he doesn’t laugh much. (N) In many ways. She’s intelligent, pro-active, friendly, sure of herself, competent ... the list goes on and on... (P) Very competent, smart, strong, durable, prepared (and flexible if something goes wrong), good at fixing problems, good at handling dangerous situations.

-If your character could speak, would they have the same voice as you?
No. (K) I can’t imagine what his voice sounds like. Maybe Haley Joel Osment’s, but more serious and monotone. (N) You can here it in the movie. I like her voice, and it was probably the only reason I chose to include her in the fanfic. But that was a long time ago (two years?). (P) Absolutely not; he has a deep, serious Jamaican voice.

-If you were to suddenly become your character, what do you think would be the first thing you would do as him/her?
(K) Relax and play around with my Pokemon. (N) I’m sure I’d enjoy whatever Neesha would want to do. (P) Get a close look at the giant Pokemon we’re tracking.

-Is there something about your character that you don't like how others think of them?
I don’t even think anybody’s read them yet!

-What advantages does your character have over you?
(K) He’s mostly independent, and a little more competent and athletic. (N) Where to start.. (P) See previous answer.

-What disadvantages?
I really can’t think of any for them, except maybe that Neesha smokes (though my cousin doesn’t, that I’m aware of).

-Do you have any secrets relating to your character that only you know?/Do you have any secret drawings only you know about?
(K) I was planning to have one of his eyes cut out and replaced by a Pokemon eye. It would give him some odd abilities. (N) Nope. (P) There’s a lot nobody knows, since he’s not even in the story yet.

-Do you have any plans for your character or are you working on something big relating to him/her?
Yeah, I’m trying to write a story about them all.

-What misconception(s), if any, do people have about your character?
Nothin’ so far.

-If you could have just ONE characteristic from your character, what would it be?
(K) The reflexes and dexterity he will have to display when he fights a gang of animate, sword-wielding skeletons. (N) Her views of the world, community, media, and, subsequently, her own person[-ality]. (P) Competence.

-Have you made any characters that go along with yours, based on real-life people, that have the same relationship with your character as you with the real-life person?
(K/N) Their relationship is irrelevant to me and my cousin. (P) Perhaps subconsciously inspired by some of my uncles?

-Have you written any stories about your character?
I’m TRYING to!

-How has your character changed since his/her first creation?
(K) Only changed in perspective (plus there’s that eye thing I got rid of ). (N) I was trying to develop her straight from the movie, but cousin Janet seemed like pretty good model for her. (P) He was always a more caring and cautious version of Indiana Jones, but later I took away his conniving involvement in big adventures, and added what I know about Allan Quartermain’s character. He’s narrowed down to a few more specific qualities.


And does anyone know who I stole this from? It's neat:

<Shoves aside the "Ye Who Stumble" journal entry>

Well, thanks to school and work, among other things, stuff like entertainment and sleep are taking a few steps down on my list of priorities (entertainment used to be at the top, so I guess this is a good thing).

the stories I've been trying to accomplish will halt in development, and may not show themselves until the summer of 2006. Sorry if this makes anyone impatient... (looks for hands, see none) Good!

Ye who hath stumbled upon this meaningless DeviantART page, I will have some fiction up soon enough. Check back in 2006. ....Or the end of the summer.

That is all.
