I'd used the Store Availability option on the B&N website yesterday to hunt around for more volumes of the Trinity Blood manga and also the light novels: sure enough, the one in Burlington had the first volumes of both light novel arcs as well as Vol 3 of the manga.
I'm glad I waited till today: Yesterday was bitterly cold and today, while warmer, still had a biting wind, which meant having to bundle up. I managed to get another fic written while riding the bus and having lunch at the Dunkin Donuts around the corner from home; no crimes of the century taking place there, in fact, we had the opposite of the quarrelers recently: I was having lunch there when a light snow was falling and a cute couple came running in, laughing and brushing snow off each other, happy and cheerful and chattering about the snow, holding hands and just being cute as they waited in line. Awww! I just wanted to huggle them for brightening the place up.
The next fic in the 12 Days of Fanfic should be up momentarily: It's been sitting all plotted out in my head for some time now, I just need to finish typing the last handful of paragraphs. I also managed to finish one of the Yami no Matsuei fics that was being a pain to get into: by the time I got about a third of the way into it, I'd warmed up to it and was on a roll to the point of being sad to finish it; what can I say? The crowd at the Ministry of Hades are a fun bunch to write (even Hisoka, when he's being prickly and pretending he doesn't care; Tatsumi can be a pain to write as well, but I find I just have to switch into "rules lawyer mode" when I'm writing him). I even finally got a feel for Watari, who was a tough one to get my head around, don't ask me why; this was why I Put Him on a Bus when I was writing the Twhinelite crossover. Though it's conceivable that the wacky inventor *would* get himself into a weird scrape if he used himself as a guinea pig for one of his strange potions, if he can't use one of the other shinigami... Wait till the fic where he finally figures out the sex change potion... :: Grins conspiratorially at Terazuma::
Also, my darn Grigori from "Neon Enoch Evangelion" seem to want to play in the Trinity Blood universe. Geez, can I keep these fandoms from spilling over into each other?! I suppose I could count this as an extended universe idea. To say nothing of the fact that they want a fic of their own (set after the anime, as Abel and Ion go in search of Cain, who appears to be hiding among these amoral angels...). It stands to reason, somewhat, since the Grigori are, at least by phenotype, the second cousins to the Crusnik. I'm also trying to come up with a new name for the Grigori Sariel, aka Enniel Prussot, since it seems the shell which went by that name has been destroyed and his core has been reclothed in a new body (hopefully one that is less of an Expy of the smirking bastard, though the Evil Albino image suits Sariel nicely).
And the burning question of the moment: what the hell do you call a creature that is half energy vampire and half shinigami? I'm fighting off a kind of "Daybreakers"/YnM crossover of sorts, featuring this weird hybrid -- and more or less angsty one at that, since he has abilities from both parents: he has to be careful about touching people with his bare hands or having them touch any of his uncovered skin with their bare hands, since he can literally drain someone of their lifeforce just by touch alone and the longer the touch, the more likely they are to die. His first soul kiss at age eighteen was a complete disaster and he's now kicking himself for accidentally killing his girlfriend... well, when he isn't running from everyone who wants him dead.
