Commencing Combat: Chapter 2

  • Nov. 25th, 2009 at 6:20 PM
Best Friends
Finally! I wrote the second chapter of Commencing Combat. I'm so sorry it took so long. I have more time now so hopefully I won't go that long without updates again. I strongly suggest at least reading the first chapter of Commencing Combat before reading this (click "Another Battle Series" link to the left). Another Battle and Prelude to War are both part of this series but each story can stand alone. At least at the moment they can.

Fun Quiz

I found this on [info]mayonakatv and couldn't help taking it. Here's my results.


You are The Tower


Ambition, fighting, war, courage. Destruction, danger, fall, ruin.


The Tower represents war, destruction, but also spiritual renewal. Plans are disrupted. Your views and ideas will change as a result.


The Tower is a card about war, a war between the structures of lies and the lightning flash of truth. The Tower stands for "false concepts and institutions that we take for real." You have been shaken up; blinded by a shocking revelation. It sometimes takes that to see a truth that one refuses to see. Or to bring down beliefs that are so well constructed. What's most important to remember is that the tearing down of this structure, however painful, makes room for something new to be built.

I've already posted this on a few comms and now I'll pimp it here for the few people who might be watching my journal.

I just want to let everyone know about the Sweet Drabblethon that [info]demonqueen666 is hosting on her journal in honor of Sweetest Day this month. It's open to all fandoms and will stop taking prompt requests Friday night. You're only allowed one request (to make it fair) and I made mine for Degrassi but I saw lots of other fandoms on there and there's also a lot that I didn't see that still need some love. So go make a request!

First Jetko Fic! ( and attempt #9)

  • Sep. 27th, 2009 at 1:30 AM
Poser Jet
Finally! I wrote the fanfic that I promised [info]alexb49. (Well, it felt like a promise to me.) So, this fic came from many inspirations. First I want to thank [info]alexb49 for inspiring me to look through [info]ali_wildgoose's amazing Jetko picspam in order to write my own story. And I want to thank Motoko for drawing the pic that jumped out at me and said "Write Me!" (I'll post it at the end). Anyway, the pic inspired the second half. The first half actually came from a word on a challenge community that my friends and I started called [info]10vocablibrary. So, of course, I made a claim. Which means this hopefully won't be my first and last jetko fic. Anyway, I'm rambling, so on with the story!

Title: Just Trying To Get By

Characters/Pairing: Jet/Zuko
Word: Gadabout - Someone who roams about in search of amusement or social activity
Rating: K
Genre: Romance/Angst
Word count: 1,541
Summary: Post Sozin’s Comet. Zuko works a lot and Jet tends to get bored which, of course, leads to an emotional confrontation (but probably not what you’re thinking). AU because Jet’s alive.

Life, Life and More Life

So, family is moving at the end of the week and between that and work I'm going a little nuts. I actually think I might (mostly) be packed in time. The actual moving part doesn't bother me. I can't wait to be at the new place. Just wish things didn't go crazy at work right now.

I work in Human Resources at a Target Store. We originally had a hiring block for a while right after the Christmas season because of the recession. So, basically we were loosing people but not replacing them, which was okay at the time. Now, suddenly we are way understaffed. And, unfortunately managing applicants and hiring is one of my main responsibilies. I've also been helping with the stores remodel by working overnight shifts twice a week. Which means, currently night shifts are actually morning shifts to me and overnight shifts are night shifts. I usually sleep from about 6am-2pm (usually less sleep than that actually). Since I'm a night person, I love this schedule. It's strange that I'll wake at 2pm (after getting maybe 7 hrs of sleep) and go to work at 3 and I still feel better than I ever did for an 8am shift and it's the same amount of sleep. It's going to suck when the remodel is over and I have to get my sleep schedule back on track.

I've actually been working on my timeline. I finished the first item (my jetko fic) on time but it's not posted yet because I'm waiting for my best friend to beta it. He's dealing with school and being sick right now so I'm not going to push it but he always gives me the best feedback and I don't want to post it without that (I always change something after he reads it). Anyway, I probably won't actually have that posted until next week (after the move).

I redid one of the icons I wanted and then I lost the program I was using. I did make all the icons I wanted to make by the end of Semptember before I lost it. As soon as I get it again I'll make more icons but I didn't want to wait so I posted what I do have.

So, that mostly takes care of the first 3 items on my timeline. Now I'm going to focus on the move until we're through it and then I'll start working on number 4.

43 Icons!

  • Sep. 22nd, 2009 at 2:33 AM
Not a Ghost
I unfortunately no longer have the program I was using to make icons so until I can get it again (or get a new one) I can't make more. But here's what's been lying on my computer waiting to be posted. Some icons I made aren't in here because I have them entered in contests but I'll post them once the contests are over. If you want to see what else I've made (which isn't much but it's something) check out my Master Icon List. Just a warning, the icons below are my first ones for these fandoms so you won't find more in the master list if you're looking.

Please comment if you take and credit if you use. Thanks!

Okay, I have about a million things that I've been meaning to do but have been putting off because I am the worlds best procrastinater (most of my projects/papers throughout high school and college I did the night before and got A's on). What I'm noticing now is that, unlike school, I don't have a due date so I'm procrastinating into forever. So, I decided to make a list and a timeline to help me keep everything straight and so I will actually do some of this stuff.

I know I've been kind of inactive lately.  I had promised to have the next chapter of Commencing Combat up by the summer.  Unfortunately, life decided that I needed more of a challenge (like I hadn't taken on enough without it's help).  Anyway, things seem to have slowed down a bit.  My life is actually at a standstill at the moment so I suddenly have way too much time.  Of course, now I have time to write and my muse for Avatar has left me.  But, in loosing that muse, I gained a new muse for Degrassi, a show currently on the N.  I started writing a fic for that and maybe my Avatar muse will come back.  I'm still hopeful that I might be able to write the next chapter before the end of August (and thus still keeping my promise).  We'll see.

"Another Battle" Series

  • Apr. 5th, 2009 at 8:47 PM
Best Friends

So, I know my journal isn't that big right now but it should be bigger in the future and I decided to make it easier to find all of my stories in my "Another Battle" series by putting all the links in one post.  I'll update as I write more.


Another Battle - The one that started it all!

Prelude to War - 2nd in the series (at least the second I wrote, not in timeline).  This one takes place 6 years before "Another Battle".

Commencing Combat (links below) - This is the 3rd piece I've written.  It actually will have multiple chapters (eventually) and it takes place in between the other two stores.
     Chapters:  One | Two

Recently I really got into making icons and decided I wanted to share them. This is my first icon post and I'm going to use it as the master list. Any icons I make in the future, I'll post separately but I'm also going to edit this post so they will all be in one place.

I don't mind if anyone wants to use these, just please credit me. Also, no altering. Thanks.

I finally wrote another fanfic.  It took me long enough.  I actually wrote the first half of this months ago but school sucks.  Anyway, this is the first chapter of my next story in my "Another Battle" series.  Enjoy!

Series: Avatar: The Last Airbender 
Title: Commencing Combat
Chapter: 1
Chapter Title: FNG
Author: [info]hakuryu08
Rating:  T
Genre:  Angst/Friendship
Characters:  Sokka & Zuko
Disclaimer:  I still don’t own ATLA or Sokka or Zuko. If that ever changes, I’ll let you know.
Summary:  Modern AU. This is in the “Another Battle” series that I started. Three years after Zuko’s mother died Sokka moves to Zuko’s school. This is the friendship (and trouble) that follows.
Author's Note 1: FNG is a acronym used in vietnamn that means "fuckin' new guy" (omg, I typed it! Does typing a curse count as cursing?). I found it researching war terms to use as chapter titles. Please let me know if I got that wrong.
Author's Note 2: The classes that Sokka and Zuko have are based on my own when I was in that grade. I don't know what school is like now.

Randomness Because I'm Bored

  • Oct. 13th, 2008 at 6:06 PM
Poser Resetti

Okay, I'm bored and I still have 20 minutes until my class starts so I decided to post something.  I hate my next class because it's 3 hrs 30 mins long and the teacher likes to waste time by talking about unimportant things.  He doesn't even start sometimes until 7pm (the class is supposed to start at 6:30pm).  This really annoys me because the class goes late enough and I have a 40 min drive home.

Anyway, I know it's been two weeks but I have no update for D&D.  My dungeon master decided to go to the Outfest yesterday and we couldn't exactly go through his dungeon without him so I unfortunately have to wait another two weeks to play again.  It upset me but I understood.

Also, I actually started writing another fanfic.  It's a prequel to my other fanfic (the only other one I wrote) for ATLA.  It's going to take place about 6 or 7 years in the past.  It's actually going to focus on Azula and her view on events in the past.  Unfortunately Sokka won't be in it but I have plans for a fic that will take place between the two stories and it will once again focus on Sokka and Zuko.  I only have about 3 paragraphs written at the moment.  School likes to get in the way of fun stuff but I will have it up as soon as possible (I hope).

Heroes 305 is on tonight and I can't watch because of the stupid class mentioned above!  It will be on my DVR but because of school and work I might not have time to watch until Wednesday!  My schedule is so frustrating sometimes!

I better actually get to the right classroom before class starts (not that it will matter).  It's down the hall but there are no computers in there.  It would make the class so much easier to deal with if there were.  Until next time!
