I suppose I spoke too soon. What do you think of the prompts, though, Natsumi? I want you to have some input too!

Alright, I think refuge is fine then. Dr. House, are you going with angst again? Hopefully it's all past angst, then . . . I'll never tell. But seriously, while I might talk a big game about angst, I don't think any of my past three Contest Entries neatly fit into that genre. Maybe it's time to change that...

I like the prompts. Can't really think of any others either. Or maybe I'm just too lazy with it being 10:30 pm and my having a headache . . .
Oh no, what are you doing, Mikau? XD

It's kind of an AU/could be an original work where Hakuba checks himself into a mental institution. Kaito's a klepto and a compulsive liar with some childhood trauma. Conan insists that he's really twice his age and has been shrunk to the size of a child by The Organization who are out to get him. Akako is a schizophrenic who hears the voice of her good friend Lucifer and worships demons. And then I want someone with extreme anger issues or something. I'm think Ran or Aoko. Maybe Heiji. But the fic, Asylum, is about healing and finding a place and being okay with yourself. ^.^; Maybe a little ambitious and probably too long, but we'll see.

Ah. The "no one is special, you were all just insane/strung out on drugs all along" routine. I don't think I've ever seen it in DC/MK fanfic, so naturally I'd look forward to seeing that.

You see, this is why I actually need to read fanfiction...or maybe some recent fiction. It's been so long. Basically all I've read the past year or so has been classics and stuff by people dead enough that their work is in the public domain. ^.^;
I'm not really familiar with the trope. Do people do that often? Here I just wanted to use my experiences with mental health in writing something. ^.^; That usually happens a few years after I'm over something. As soon as it stops hurting, I write it. Sometimes it's more immediate, like "because it's really hurting, I write it". But this idea sprung from a thought I had a few months ago about my group. "I hope they're all doing well and being successful like I am." -.-; Somehow I don't think so because I was always the most together one in the group. That was actually kind of hard because whenever we got new members they were always like, "What the heck are YOU doing here, Little Miss Sunshine? O.O You don't belong here at all."
But anyway, I wanted to write about a seemingly "normal" one, Hakuba, going to a place where everyone's worse off than him and so he realizes that even though he has demons inside, he has the strength inside himself to be okay. Or something like that. ^.^ Anyway. I wonder if my experiences that I'm going to write about are anything like the things you've read before. ^.^; I hope not. That would suck. I suppose we'll see.

That sounds really interesting! But I can see how it'd be long as well . . .

congrats, everyone!
oh, mikau, I know of someone who wrote something with that - except it was entirely crack and everyone was just screwing with the therapist and exaggerating their 'symptoms' because they thought it was ridiculous. conan did some split personality (kid to detective and vice versa), hakuba excessively checked the time every other second, heiji bragged about osaka (due to being diagnosed with inferiority or something), and kaito stole everything within reach. while it was glorious, a more serious fic like the one you described would be wonderful...
anyway, I think I've taken enough of a break from competitions, and I'm thinking up some things for the upcoming ones~
