Off Topic += An update, a meme, and another big bang plug

[blue_bells]

It's been an age since I posted here, but after the six month marathon of my last (and first!) big bang, I really needed a break and I thought I'd spare you the spam of my recovery.

(Television. Food. Work. More food. Oh, and hey, I actually made it out to the cinema once or twice! Then there was food.)

So, of course I've been editing stories for a bunch of people instead. I don't seem to understand the meaning of breaks. ^^;

I still intend to get Somewhere to Begin on to A03, DW, and an ePub format, and I will get to that as soon as I can. If you've been waiting for any of those, I really appreciate your patience. If you're ever curious what I'm up to, you can peek into my twitter account and witness the madness; and say 'hi'! I don't bite!

In the meantime have a meme, borrowed from my entire flist:

Pick one of my fics, and I'll give you three details that didn't make it into the fic. Background canon, deleted scenes, or a look into the future. My choice, but if you have a specific question you can ask it in your request.

And a plug for one of my favourite new shows that's doing exceptionally well for a baby fandom. Suits has a big bang and sign ups close September 10! I'm exercising control and advertising only, for a change:




Hope this finds you all doing well, my lovelies! ♥

1) Alrighty then. :3 Keep in mind that I need to beat the game and verify what I know with what I've heard and such. Okay. The premise of DS is that suddenly, in Tokyo, demons appear and begin attacking people around the same time a lockdown occurs and everyone in the Yamashita (sp?) circle is trapped in there by the SDF. (Special Defense Force) That's a large portion of Tokyo, fyi. You, the main character, and two of your friends are in the area when this goes down - but your cousin Naoya has given you three mysterious devices that turn out to be COMPs - and also devices that allow them to fight the demons and summon them and such.

There's another problem on top of that: people with COMPs can suddenly see numbers above everyone's heads, and those numbers count down days until someone dies. If the number of days is 10+, then no number is displayed. The problem now? Everyone in the circle has a number that says 7...and to boot, you and your friends have 1.

Without info-dumping too hard...well, here. There's a contest going on between specific demons around the same time, too. Demons with 'Bel' in their names are in a fight to become the last Bel standing and become King of the Demons. Participants include Beldr, Belzebub, Belberith and others.

Now here's where the Cain and Abel bits come in. Naoya is Cain. On top of that, he's a reincarnation of Cain, and he remembers ALL of his reincarnations all the way back to the original one. He's very mad at God, among other things.

You, the main character, are Abel. Bel. Guess what you're eligible to participate in! 8D No, you don't remember any of your reincarnations. Yes, if you beat all the Bels you become King of Demons.

Naoya has maneuvered this, BTW, so that you received a COMP early on and has been feeding you extra info. He WANTS you to win the contest...and he wants you to help him out then. That would be the Chaos ending, which I haven't seen yet.

And that's about 40% of the main plot in DS. I'm leaving out the angels' side of things, why the SDF had such perfect timing with the lockdown, and a bunch of other stuff.

Thoughts?

3) XD I can see it now! Creepy and yet kind of adorable in a way.

My thoughts are that Sera Gamble should outsource the rest of the series to these video game writers. The details of this small summary already trump S6 alone with the exception of the finale, which was just fun fun fun (for some of us).

LOLOLOLOLOL, yes. XD

I want to note that SMT usually has awesome premises and plots, which is part of why I love that series so much. I'd give an example but I'm afraid I'd go on for too long again.
