Er... Help?

[soc_puppet]

Right, so. See, my attention span at the moment is doing this really crazy thing. Every time I read a fic/think about x fandom, I think to myself, "Gee, I should really become more active with this fandom. There's a ton of stuff I could do (even if I can't exactly think of all of it at the moment)!"

Right now there's four fandoms that are labeling themselves as options: Fullmetal Alchemist, xxxHolic, Naruto, and Detective Conan/Magic Kaito.

As soon as I realized what was going on--that the fandom that grabs my attention now could very well be keeping it for the next n months--I knew I had to do something drastic.

You see, my interest in DC/MK has been waning slightly for a while now. And I don't want it to go. There's still so much I have to do in this fandom, finishing Communications being essentially top among them (closely followed by Small Things, and then this pastfic idea that's been plaguing me and would be awesome as all hell). And while I think I can manage to regain interest in this series, I don't know if I can do it without help.

So, here's my request. I want you to throw all of the Detective Conan/Magic Kaito fic recs you possibly can at me. I am terribly backlogged due to aforementioned waning interest and need desperately to catch up. So point me to what's good. I don't care what it is or who it's by, I will at least give it a shot if you direct me to it.

So please, help drag my forcably back into the fandom that I've loved for so long. If I can break back into it now I may be able to find a balance between it and the other fandoms, but I do think I'll need that extra boost.

Oh, and in case you were wondering, this observation was prompted by bard_linn's first steps into the DC/MK fandom: Factuality. Which you should go read now, because it is awesome and I say so. FMA fans, too.

Hmm... Have you read our Shinigami Stories?
From what I understand from people who have replied that they like our stories, no one has read it. (it was one of our favourite ones to write)

-Catch me on chat, can send you some translated ShinKai doujin if you'd like. ^__^

Also, if you head over to Knightus' site, there has been a re-translation and scan of the first volume of Magic Kaito. It's amazing how much different it feels with good translations and pictures. And hearts in the text bubbles. ^__^

[soc_puppet]

Read everything by you when I was first getting into the fandom ¦D So yeah, Shinigami Stories is on the list. Lotta stuff to re-read, not a lot to read.

I can live with that ♥ I'll try for tomorrow night. Tonight I'm probably going to be busy with Spanish homework ^^;

O_O There is? I shall have to go read that now. *sneaks off*

*BLUSH*

[soc_puppet]

I have to encourage people that are new to the fandom after all ♥

[bard-linn.livejournal.com]

You have woken up the DC/MK bunnies again...but they still lack definition so you'll have to wait a while I'm afraid. XD

[soc_puppet]

But they are there ♥

[bard-linn.livejournal.com]

Yesh they are.

And they want to know why no one has done a KM/HP crossover yet. *shoots bunnies*

[soc_puppet]

Possibly because it has the potential to really suck if not done properly. *stares the plunnies down* And no, brain, we are not to volunteer to take this plunny off of Linn's hands.

They also point out that Conan isn't 11 yet which makes him ripe for the Japanese-Version of Hogwarts, whatever that might be.

And that the Pandora Gem is probably really a dark magic artifact so the Japanese-magic-ruler-like the England Minister of magic would probably want it caught and destroyed -

Which leads to thinking that catching Kaitou Kid would be a lot easier with a wand, an invisibility cloak and a broom.

[soc_puppet]

Oh good, that's much better than what I had imagined.

[bard-linn.livejournal.com]

*curious now*

[soc_puppet]

Worst-case scenario would've been one of those transfer student fics with gratuitous shipping because the author just wanted an excuse to stick those two groups of characters in the same room at the same time. I didn't think it was exactly likely--I'm pretty sure you're more professional than that, and even then you probably could've done it some sort of justice--but I did (briefly) consider the possibility.

Slightly higher up the ladder than that would be "Oh, Hakuba's actually a wizard, 'cuz he's from England!" Which would be ...interesting, but doesn't account for all the time he's spent in Japan that would overlap his studies. Which of course can be wiped away by the handy Time Turner plot device but still sits wrong with me.

About the best case scenario that I could come up with would be Hakuba = wizard from above, only an early graduate. He would be investigating odd magic-like events and occurences in Japan for some reason.

That up there? Better than I could have hoped. You blew all of those ideas out of the water. You're dealing with actual structure and politics and stuff! So yeah. Hope that satisfied your curiosity.

[bard-linn.livejournal.com]

Hm. But now I'm tempted to do a parody where the Black organization folks get sent there....[Hm, Voldie obsessed with immortality; another connection.]

I'm still tempted to have Kaitou use a time turner one time so he could stand right next to Hakuba and do a heist for humor potential.

I like the idea of Kid getting caught and having a WARRANT to do what he's been doing. *is lame*

You've read Ysabet's stuff, right?

[soc_puppet]

Considering her work is what got me back into doing fanart, I'd say that's a pretty big 'yes' ;)

[dogmatix-san.livejournal.com]

*G* m'kay, just checking. mm. I mostly read Ysa's and Icka's stuff, also. Uh, I know Becky Tailweaver writes good stuff too.. Snickerer on ff.net has a few DC/MK things - actually, also, a MK/YGO x-over ^.^ Well written, too. I have one or two DC drabbles, but, honestly not that much and lost in the wilds of my lj.

Sorry I couldn't be of more help =/

[soc_puppet]

'Salright; I haven't looked into Snickerer's yet, so it's definitely somewhere for me to start from. Thanks for the recs ^_^ I'll give it a shot.
