Yay! I'm excited for this one. Though...I'm always excited. ^.^
I have a fun...well, maybe more interesting than fun, but. Like I said in the Alone thread: "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."
So...we'll see. I'm leaning towards Heiji or Aoko as the anger issues person. I have a few scenes in mind and about 500 words so far, so. Yeah. Look forward to it!

Oooh! That sounds fun! I look forward to reading it. When you mentioned anger issues, I immediately thought of Hattori... XD I'm graduating from college in three weeks, so I'm going to be busy with finals and graduation preparations and don't know if I'll have time to write a fic in time for this challenge, but I look forward to reading everyone's!

Wooh, I kind of have an idea for this prompt, but not exactly a plot or a solid idea. Just, like, a sentence.
"Because every heist notice is a poem, and he’s just a poet seeking refuge in his own words."
Knowing me, it'll probably turn into angst like it always does (and I never want it to).

Ooh, I like that line. Also made me think of Mask's poems in Mikau's fanfiction.
When are we supposed to write the 10,000 word stories again?

That's starting up in May. I was going to PM you two about that just now. Crazy. And I like that, Tiny! It'd be interesting to see you make a fic out of that. A HakuKai fic in which Hakuba realizes that Kid has been calling out for help, and then they fall in love and understand each other and kiss. Sorry. No. Seriously. I think it would make a good HakuKai fic in which they save one another. *Throws hungry HakuKai plot bunny at you* Have fun!

Oh dear lord, I already have a few HakuKai oneshots being worked on, the last thing I need is another angsty one over the...three...in which Kaito and/or Saguru end up crying. But now that plunny is just sitting there, looking at me...taunting me...darnit, Mikau! XD

Very poetic TinyTantei. I was also thinking about Mikauzoran's fan fic when you phrased it like that. *SQUEALS* I want to see that HakuKai plot bunny become reality! Please do it! ^_^

All your ideas sound interesting! I'd love to see them ^^
Hmm...humor would be fun...only with a douse of angst. Hmmm I'm thinking panic attacks and then fluffy comfort (do I even know how to fluff)

Okay. I am definately going to do this prompt. I need to try and set aside time for writing, even if it means sacrificing something else for the moment. Yes. Hmm, maybe I might write an AU where Shinichi doesn't exist, only in Conan's mind. He escapes into being Shinichi and his Holmes books to compensate for the loneliness he feels and separation from others his age due to Conan being more mature and smarter. He still interacts with the Detective Boys and Ran, but he often goes to his room, or the bathroom at school and goes into Shinichi and imagines interactions he did that day as if he was Shinichi doing them... I don't think I explained that too well. Oh well

I've decided that my old idea wasn't as hot as I thought it was, and come up with a new one in the interim. But the darkness shall remain. Probably.
Hint: it'll star a main character that usually doesn't get a lot of attention in fanfic. I don't think he's ever had anything beyond tertiary roles on this board's stories, in particular.
I don't think I'll be playing keepaway with his identity in the story, though.

Will the Tooru/Azusa writer think of something more original for a change? XD (Do we even have a name for that couple? I tried thinking of one, but I don't know. )
