I will never, ever understand this.

I just got an email from someone who either found me through my site or maybe through FF.net (I can't link to my FF.net account because - surprise! - FF.net is being a bitch). It was one of my Digimon stories. I don't know which. They didn't say. Just one of the ones I wrote featuring Davis/Ken (which is practically all of them).

I deleted the email before I made this post. The whole fact someone sent me it was just to ridiculous for me to want it to take up any room in my inbox. Then I decided to write about it (and am now kicking myself for deleting the email -_-). The gist of it was "I read your stories. I don't like Davis/Ken or Ken/Davis. Why don't you write a pairing I like to read?"

Dear Random Email Person,

Um... excuse me? Why did you feel the need to email me this? Do you think I particularly care about what pairing you like to read? Because I assure you, I don't. In fact the entire ocean couldn't hold how much I don't care.

Here's a hint: if you don't like Davis and Ken as a pairing then don't read stories labeled Ken/Davis. All of my stories are labeled. I assume you can read... no wait. That might be my problem. I shouldn't assume anything when it comes to people like this.

Seriously, I don't like a lot of stuff I read on the internet. Sometimes I read it anyway. You know what? I never think to send them an email to the author complaining about the fact that I read their story and it wasn't good, not unless the story is falsely labeled. Why? Because I made the choice to read it. No one forced me. No one held a gun to my head. And if it's labeled for a pairing I can't stand (like one involving Muraki from YnM), then I don't read it. SHOCKING!

In conclusion, your little email has inspired me to dig out my old notebooks and type up all the Davis/Ken stuff I never finished. I'm going to put it up just for you. I hope you'll enjoy.

Hugs and Kisses,
Tsaiko

WRITER'S MEME: Sometimes it's ok to pimp yourself out. Post a list of the top five favorite fics you've written, regardless of fandom or the reason you love them. This isn't about the BEST things you've written, but what you LOVE most. Then tag five other people to do the same.

In no particular order.

1) Spirit of Shinagami: Going back to my Gundam Wing days here. I love this story mostly because I always loved the idea of giving the Gundams themselves personalities. It seemed only natural to start with Deathsythe Hell. Doesn't hurt that I won an award for it. ^^

2) Rapunzal: Going back even further into my fandom days. This was my first fairytale retelling ever. I still secretly love this fic. I even had it used as part of someone's thesis project on trend of retold fairytales.

3) Losing Courage: This story was written over the course of one day at work. I think my author's notes basically sum up why I love it. It's a story about relationships that don't really work out and it's no one's fault. This is definitely one of my more subtle fics.

4) Ritter's Story Part 1, Part 2: This story started out as a writing exercise for me. I had just read the book >Holes by Louis Sachar and wanted to see if I could reproduce the style of writing past and present at the same time. Still need to finish it.

5) Knowledge is Power: This was one of my favorite stories to write and I always forget that I haven't completed it until I look at it again. I like how different it is when I write from Ken's point-of-view as opposed to the Emperor's POV. It was a challenge and I like that. I feel bad that I never got around to writing more on it. Someday...

Tag. You're it.

Note to self: You should not have to go to three different websites to find links to all your stories. CONSOLIDATE YOU FOOL. It's why you have a domain.
