XD; I think Lizzie's going to regret this....

[ladybug_archive]

She wrote a detective blurb the other day, and showed it to me. I loved it, and ended up with the idea for a random one-shot that I eventually called Ghosts. I wasn't sure if it was IC, but I hoped so, and I posted it. So far, they like it. ^^ SN liked it so much, and mused so much over what could happen next that she inspired me to make it a multi-chapter mystery fic. XD I've posted the second chapter now.

Anyway, I say Lizzie might regret it because she doesn't like Gin and well, he's a major player in the story (of course, he is in all my works). Lizzie's blurb featured a really creepy guy who was the inspiration for the jerk in Ghosts, and the whole idea came out in the first place because I wanted to see how Gin would react towards someone like that. For a brief moment I mused over the inconveniences and possible uncomfortableness of needing to create an OC for the piece to work, and then it hit me: why use an OC? I could use Ayumi! That's much more interesting, anyway. XD; She's such a cute kid. ^^ Definitely my favorite of the Detective Boys.

I love my icon. ^^ Aubrie made the awesome base, using a couple of Lurkerdrome's screengrabs, and I added the text. Though I still think it looks plain on such a wonderful base. I wish I could give the text a shadow effect or something fancy like that.

The other day I made a list of songs I thought related to Gin, and/or the Gin/Sherry pairing, and posted it in the Detective_Conan community. Among the songs I included were:


- Getting Away with Murder by Papa Roach: Gin image song

- Blow Me Away by Breaking Benjamin: Gin image song

- Diary of Jane by Breaking Benjamin: Gin/Sherry song, from Gin's POV

- With You by Linkin Park: Gin/Sherry song, from Gin's POV

- In the End by Linkin Park Gin/Sherry song, with both of their POVs

- Angels by Within Temptation: Gin/Sherry song, from Sherry's POV


To this list I would now add So Cold and Breakdown, both by Breaking Benjamin. Dance with the Devil works too. XD Breaking Benjamin is awesome.

No, you're fine. It's trival. Still, I'm really flattered that I inspired you, even a little bit. I may not care too much for Gin, but I know you do, and you do write him very well. ^__^ I like how you portray him. I will be reading this fic, just to see how it plays out. Maybe it will, like your one Marik fic did, make me understand him better.
