Sip up ‘til you’re tipsy, night’s young. Searching for a feeling, big fun

The first moments after Yuuri woke up didn’t feel wrong or different at all, quite the opposite actually. His body felt like floating, as light as passing clouds on a spring day. It was when he started to take notice of everything around him that he knew something was off. For starters, his bed was a little too stiff too- his hotel room was not the most expensive one, but his bed was actually quite comfortable for the price he paid. Next, there was the slight pressure on his index finger, when Yuuri tried to move it he definitely felt more weight added to it. There was also the continuous beeping next to him, quiet and unassuming, but constant nonetheless.

As Yuuri slowly opened his eyes he was faced with a white, pristine room- a hospital room to be more precise. Where am I, what am I doing here?, he asked to himself, his mind still a little numb from just waking up but slowly working itself into a panic. The beeping next to Yuuri became faster as he tried to recall what had happened last night. He remembered attending the banquet, the feeling of embarrassment and frustration that came to him as soon as he entered the room full of other more successful and deserving people. He didn’t talk to anyone, that was for sure, since he immediately walked towards-

on fanfic & emotional continuity

Writing and reading fanfic is a masterclass in characterisation. 

Consider: in order to successfully write two different “versions” of the same character - let alone ten, or fifty, or a hundred - you have to make an informed judgement about their core personality traits, distinguishing between the results of nature and nurture, and decide how best to replicate those conditions in a new narrative context. The character you produce has to be recognisably congruent with the canonical version, yet distinct enough to fit within a different - perhaps wildly so - story. And you physically can’t accomplish this if the character in question is poorly understood, or viewed as a stereotype, or one-dimensional. Yes, you can still produce the fic, but chances are, if your interest in or knowledge of the character(s) is that shallow, you’re not going to bother in the first place. 

Because ficwriters care about nuance, and they especially care about continuity - not just literal continuity, in the sense of corroborating established facts, but the far more important (and yet more frequently neglected) emotional continuity. Too often in film and TV canons in particular, emotional continuity is mistakenly viewed as a synonym for static characterisation, and therefore held anathema: if the character(s) don’t change, then where’s the story? But emotional continuity isn’t anti-change; it’s pro-context. It means showing how the character gets from Point A to Point B as an actual journey, not just dumping them in a new location and yelling Because Reasons! while moving on to the next development. Emotional continuity requires a close reading, not just of the letter of the canon, but its spirit - the beats between the dialogue; the implications never overtly stated, but which must logically occur off-screen. As such, emotional continuity is often the first casualty of canonical forward momentum: when each new TV season demands the creation of a new challenge for the protagonists, regardless of where and how we left them last, then dealing with the consequences of what’s already happened is automatically put on the backburner.

Fanfic does not do this. 

Fanfic embraces the gaps in the narrative, the gracenotes in characterisation that the original story glosses, forgets or simply doesn’t find time for. That’s not all it does, of course, but in the context of learning how to write characters, it’s vital, because it teaches ficwriters - and fic readers - the difference between rich and cardboard characters. A rich character is one whose original incarnation is detailed enough that, in order to put them in fanfic, the writer has to consider which elements of their personality are integral to their existence, which clash irreparably with the new setting, and which can be modified to fit, to say nothing of how this adapted version works with other similarly adapted characters. A cardboard character, by contrast, boasts so few original or distinct attributes that the ficwriter has to invent them almost out of whole cloth. Note, please, that attributes are not necessarily synonymous with details in this context: we might know a character’s favourite song and their number of siblings, but if this information gives us no actual insight into them as a person, then it’s only window-dressing. By the same token, we might know very few concrete facts about a character, but still have an incredibly well-developed sense of their personhood on the basis of their actions. 

The fact that ficwriters en masse - or even the same ficwriter in different AUs - can produce multiple contradictory yet still fundamentally believable incarnations of the same person is a testament to their understanding of characterisation, emotional continuity and narrative.

On Ice vs. Off Ice. (victuuri moments)

[harocat]

real talk. why do people think they’re ‘brave’, ‘going against the tide’, ‘mature’, ‘deep’, and ‘are so shocking can’t wait to get people’s panties in a wad!!’ (etc) for writing edgy stuff? 

Edgy stuff is literally so dime a dozen it’s just as common as happy stuff, if not more, these days. You’d think people would leave this mindset in seventh grade, because this is just such a juvenile mindset, but… they don’t. Grow up. Write as much edgy content as you want, but don’t act like you’re doing something courageous or special or whatever for it. It’s practically the norm. 

And if you get a thrill and pleasure out of upsetting and shocking people who dare to come to fiction for a form of positive escapism and therefore don’t like that stuff, that’s just super douchey. Not everyone comes to fiction for the same thing, and they’re not a less sophisticated person because they’d prefer less edgy material.

Here is the original NBC clip of the Suzaki Miu & Kihara Ryuichi’s Olympic performance for “Yuri on Ice” (Piano), which has been their short program this entire season. Ever since they debuted the routine in Detroit (Yes, DETROIT, where Yuuri and Phichit trained with Celestino!) back in July 2017, I’ve been wondering if they will actually make it to the 2018 Japanese Winter Olympics Team and officially bring YOI to the games. Lo and behold, not only did they make it to Pyeongchang, they even managed to score a personal best for this routine with a 57.42 during the Team Event on Friday!

After watching their performance, Kubo Mitsurou mentioned that the pair’s coach, the legendary Sato Yuka/Yuka Sato, actually suggested the track to them. BLESS YOU YUKA.

I keep seeing people linking to the wrong videos (This or this) claiming that it is the Olympics performance - it isn’t! That is actually the pair’s routine from the Four Continents Championships in Taipei back in late January. You can see the signs all over, including in the kiss & cry at the end.

One more interesting thing to note: Suzaki & Kihara will actually skate this SP one more time in Pyeongchang during the actual pairs skating competition. The scheduled date of the SP performances in this event? February 14th, VALENTINE’S DAY.

P.S. This clip also includes YOI megafan Johnny Weir holding in his extreme excitement explaining where the track is from in the beginning :D

[lazuliblade]

I want to add this too:

For those who can’t see the image, it’s Jeremy Abbott tweeting: What Johnny and Tara failed to note that Miu has only been doing pairs for less than two years and competed her first international this year, yet they just skated clean at the Olympics… that’s not easy for a veteran let alone a complete rookie! (link to his tweet here)

We’ve been busy working on our next batch of releases! Take a look at “It All Started with a Sexy Interview!” It’s a manga about a girl named Aoi registering on a “special” site to get married, but this site requires those to check their sexual compatability! Things get steamy as Aoi’s first match is her hot young boss…

MIZUNO posted this official art of Yuuri wearing Japan’s Olympic uniforms! And look at that ring, front and center. ( x )  

(I don’t know about you but this legit made me tear up.)

What’s… the point… of fanfic if you’re not going to make any effort to keep it in character.

At that point why wouldn’t you just write an original story featuring the characters and premise you are wanting.
