*shamelessly copies post from last year* ETA: now with the right year in the header!
It's roundabout that time again, boys and girls. This year I'm once again filtering for the NaNo fic (although the rest of you will no doubt still be subjected to my whining during the process), so comment if you want to read the NaNo as it goes up. if i don't have you friended, comment anyway, and I'll add you so you can go on the filter. Everyone who was on the filter last year is still on so you don't have to ask to be added, but feel free to tell me that you're reading again, or tell me if you want to be taken off.
You can also join
ichiband_weekly, the official Chaotic Butterfly Fan and Fanworks comm.
A summary to help you make an informed decision:
Working Title: Chaotic Butterfly: Unseen Wings
5*STAR is back. Eighteen months after the release of their single and their demotion to trainee status, the members continue on as regulars of Midareteku Entertainment. The summer's shaping up to be more than a little bustling, with Tsukioka and Adachi starring in a summer drama, Sakurai writing the theme single and staging a solo concert, and Goto and Rin acting as fill-in MCs for Ichiband Weekly. Under all the stress, the members start to come apart at the seams, and struggle to find ways to stay strong as a unit when they're scattered across Japan.
Will 5*STAR burn out, or will they prove that stars under the most pressure shine the brightest? Either way, this summer things are sure to heat up!
Now's the time to lobby for your favorite side-character bands, or to discuss what changes you think might have been made to ME since the last story.

Date: 2008-10-25 11:06 pm (UTC)these all sound like things that YOU could be writing ME. Who the hell in 5*STAR do you suppose is anything like a ninja?

Date: 2008-10-25 11:08 pm (UTC)Oh man, I want to see the Adachi/Tsuki-chin drama. I bet it's insanely gay and emo and rainbow covered.
Changes....? Well, I'd like to petition for some smut or a healthy amount of making out at the very least. YOU KNOW ADACHI AND TSUKIOKA WILL GET BORED WITHOUT THEIR MEN AND HAVE TO TURN TO EACH OTHER.
I'm so entirely surprised that my executive decision to not junk these icons is paying off XDD;;;

Date: 2008-10-25 11:08 pm (UTC)I'm sure Hasue-kun's ero dancing has only gotten more out of control in the last year. Junpei going through puberty = not helping.

Date: 2008-10-25 11:14 pm (UTC)Since deciding that was the plan like an hour ago, I've been trying to figure out what the hell drama somebody would even put Adachi and Tsukioka in. I think they're filming on location in Kansai though, possibly in conjunction with the reasonably popular Kansai ME duo, or maybe just one of them, who has yet to be named. It's so hard to come up with unit names when JE is already using all of the completely ridiculous ones.
I suspect there may be more outright action this year. I try not to do it, because it's fandom's job to come up with pairings and otps and all that, and the canon's job to like keep it all open to possibility, but I'm not sure I can go 50k more words without my preferences being totally obvious. We'll see.

Date: 2008-10-25 11:24 pm (UTC)LOL, and here I thought you'd had it all planned out, since your summery seemed so organized and thematic. My dreams are shattered.
But the fandom has been failing in the porn department. Even I've only been writing gen (or het for godsake), what is wrong with us? >/
Eighteen months.... I have to figure out what the girls are up to... They'll be stretched as much as 5*STAR at that point, huh? ;p

Date: 2008-10-25 11:32 pm (UTC)the best kept secret to being mousapelli is that that is virtually never true, least of all during NaNo. I just write really fast and can organize on the fly. I never had to outline my college papers either.
Yeah, idk. There really was very little porn from any of us when everything was said and done. Hmm.
Were they in high school getting into college before? Or junior high getting into high school? I wasn't really sure what year they were in the first place. I guess some of them would be at school and some would have jobs? idk, I leave it entirely in your hands~

You'll have to make up for our porn failures in November. >D
Yeah, yeah. They were all third year in high school. I'll work it out. I already know where Aya is going at least, just not what she's going to do there and how long it'll take to pull all of her hair out. XD Maybe I'll do a timestamp meme in ichiband or something to figure it all out ;p
