For writing new things!
Sometimes it's really hard to get out of a particular frame of mind. I've had so much trouble getting out of Glasshouse Kyo's head! It was making everything I wrote really somber and kind of repressed. Writing Toshiya through somebody else's point of view seemed really manufactured, so that was seriously pissing me off. Even if it's just fanfiction, I take it very seriously. Not being able to write properly gets me very upset!
Today I finally broke the cycle though! I started on something much more light-hearted, which helped a great deal. I only got the idea for it this afternoon, but it's one of those things where I just know it's gonna be something I stick with. It's got some of my favourite things in it, including sociallyawkward!Kaoru. Die's eyebrows are also likely to return for an encore after their ground-breaking performance in AMLOR.
All I'm gonna say is that it's called 'The Meaning of Happiness' and that it's going to be...sweet, maybe? There are a few more details (vague synopsis and additional pairing, hurrah!) in my archive...for all you thrill seekers.
1. A Reminder - Radiohead
2. Amber - Dir en grey
3. Kasumi - Dir en grey
4. Dancing With Myself - Generation X
5. When My Boy Walks Down The Street - The Magnetic Fields
6. All For The Best - Thom Yorke
7. Egnirys Cimredopyh +) An Injection - Dir en grey
8. Just Like Heaven - The Cure
9. Street Spirit (Fade Out) - Radiohead
10. Lucky - Radiohead
Lots of DEG, lots of Radiohead. Hey look, it's my roots!

Sometimes you need to get out of a frame of mind, especially after writing something that was darker overall. So its nice you are switching up so good luck for that ^^
I remember one occasion i started writing out something, and then changed it completely and was much happier about it. Sometimes it is just the right mood and place I think

The World War one...I won't go so far to say it's been abandoned completely! It's still an idea I like. But, I would need to give serious thought to how I'm going to arrange it, and I'd need to figure out my characterisations better. Because it was so somber and I was writing from the first person, it all seemed quite flat compared to writing Kyo.
I'm also weirdly excited for Die/Shinya! It's very much a side pairing, but I have my plans. Aha!
