I just got what may be the second-weirdest plot bunny that I've ever received in my life. Probably won't do good for the comp, since KaiZuha is and always will be a small crackship, but hey, I'll see how it goes.

*raises hand* I would like to read KaiZuha.
I think for this one I'm going to try to write a Haibara and Kaito piece in which Kaito tries to get Haibara to genuinely smile more. We'll see if I actually get around to writing it, though.

So I just finished outlining my idea for the Kaito Haibara piece I was going to do for this contest, but it's waaay too big. It's probably going to be five to ten chapters once I get done with everything I want to put in it, so it looks like I'll have to come up with something else. :/

If you don't get enough people for a vote and don't mind extending the deadline a bit, I can write something.

Would you be able to get something together by Wednesday, Boo, if we don't get another entry before the deadline tonight?

WAIT I JUST SAW THIS. I'm pretty sure if the comp extended to Wednesday, I'd be able to finish mine.
