Howl's Moving Castle & Chrestomanci Fanfics

Although there's probably enough here to create a 'Diana Wayne Jones' section in my memories, I really do want to keep the number of memories I have as low as possible. Please note that none of the fics were written by me, and credit should go to their respective authors.

YES. SO BEAUTIFUL. *_* I'M ORDERING WILD ROCK FROM B&N ON THE 30TH OF THIS MONTH. Mmm, Kazusa Takashima's work. XD I...don't recognize any of the otehr names you mentioned. Well, Minami Haruka sounds familiar. I LOVE YAOI MANGA!! <3 <3 I've been meaning to read Eerie Queerie - I read like the first volume and part of the second, but stopped. I need to finish!

White and Black is a manga about two angels - ones with white wings, and ones with black wings. Eventually the black winged Angels are doomed to die and go to hell, or something. But a White Angel and a Black Angel fall in love, and...and...it's just so good. I want to own it soooo bad, but I can't order from Amazon.com *shrug* Ah well. I WILL GET IT SOMEDAY!

[http://users.livejournal.com/sapphirestar_/]

i basically only read yaoi manga. xDDD i mean, well, we got tons of yaoi manga downloaded on our computer, so, y'know. i've read so so many of them already, yet i haven't even managed to read half of all the ones we've got. XD

I THINK I'VE READ IT. twice, even! did they get these sort of ... missions? and white winged angel helped the black winged angel? OR IS IT JUST A WHOLLY DIFFERENT MANGA I'M REMEMBERING? xDD

[popkin16]

Hahaha, I get on these kicks and read a bunch of yaoi manga, then return back to shounen manga (and fanfiction). Have you read the manga "Only The Ring Finger Knows"? It was my first yaoi manga. XD

YES I THINK THAT'S THE SAME MANGA. :D :D OH MY GOD, YOU'RE THE FIRST PERSON I KNOW TO HAVE EVER READ IT. I'M SO EXCITED, YOU HAVE NO IDEA! *Clings to your leg* Did you like it? It made me cry. It's just so good! If you have any yaoi manga to rec, I certainly wouldn't say no

[http://users.livejournal.com/sapphirestar_/]

ONLY THE RING FINGER KNOWS LAKF;FJKLKDJLF YEEEES I'VE READ IT AND ALJKFLD;FLKJDLFJL IT'S SO SO SO SO SO SO WONDERFUL OMG. BESIDES IN THE DRAMA CD IT'S SUZUKEN AND SAKURAI TAKAHIRO WHO'RE BEING ALL OTP AGAIN OMG. *drools*

hehe, really? xD i think we've downloaded it a few times (accidentally, since once would have been enough 8D) so i've read it a few times ... and oh! was there this sort of ... well, one of the missions, there was this sort of demon-thing or something that went into a person or controlled them through some item? OMG. AND I LIIKEED IIIIIT. not my absolute favourite, but it was so goooood~

haha, alright! first of all, okay? ANYTHING by naono bohra, because, just, oh god. SO GOOD I SWEAR. and the chibis kill me every time. xDD also? ANYTHING by toko kawai. seriously. it's that good. ♥

i'll rec some more once i remember the actual titles, but those two should keep you going for at least a while if you're interested. xDD

[popkin16]

I'M SO HAPPY YOU'VE READ IT. XD Whenever I look at the manga on my bookshelf, I always take a moment to sort of flip through it. DID YOU KNOW THERE ARE 3 SEQUELS? I don't think they've been translated to manga, which is too bad, but SEQUELS. MAYBE SOMEDAY. DRAMA CD? I HAVEN'T HEARD THE DRAMA CD. I WANTS.

I don't remember the details so well any longer, since it was quite a while ago that I read it. There might have been a mission like that...did it end where both angels were human, but the white angel aged really slowly? I FOUND OUT A BOOKSTORE IN A SORT OF FAR AWAY BUT STILL NEAR CITY (haha) HAS IT FOR ORDERING. I'M GETTING IT. *NOD NOD*

Naono Bohra and Toko Kawai. Got it written down, I'll scoot off to free_manga and/or yshare as soon as this is posted :D :D

Thank you so much! I like reading yaoi, but too much at a time and everything seems like it's the same. :( I suppose I just don't have any luck with it. HAVE YOU READ TOGAINU NO CHI? IT'S BASED OFF OF A BL GAME, AND THE ONE CHARACTER LOOKS LIKE LEON FROM FINAL FANTASY VIII. Does that seem familiar?

[http://users.livejournal.com/sapphirestar_/]

3 SEQUELS WHAAAT ME WANTS THEM NAO. :O *drool*

... er. maybe? I DON'T KNOW, PERHAPS? i think i've read so many manga that have a similar plot so i'm not really too sure. but yeah, something like that, maybe. XDD OMG YOU ORDERS IT OMG YAY. \o/ GIGGETY GIGGETY.

haha, yeah. that's true. well, yesterday i read, like, what, three different yaoi manga and they all had like 6-8 chapters, and i was still or MOAR TO MEEEE. XDD i get days like that, when it's all about teh yaoi. (although, when isn't it? XD)

TOGAINU NO CHI OMG YES I HAVE. or, y'know. not really. we have it on the computer, but i've yet to read it, but i've read tons and tons and so so so many doujinshi of it that just lkfjl,lkjsflkdmlfflkdj AND YES DOESN'T HE LOOK A BIT LIKE LEON OMG.

[popkin16]

TOO BAD THEY'RE JUST REGULAR BOOKS. :( Maybe someone will translate the entire thing.

IT'S OKAY. XD You don't have to remember it. YES, I AM GOING TO ORDER IT, AND SLEEP WITH IT UNDER MY PILLOW but not really, because I'd be afraid of bending the pages. *Is a freak*

YAAAY. TOGAINU NO CHI MAKES ME HAPPY. I've yet to search out doujins for it, but as soon as I read every current chapter, I'm sure I'll search for some. :D I LOVE LEON. XD

(Oh, I wanna add you to my MSN messnager, if you don't mind. It's another embarrassing e-mail address - what was wrong with me when I was younger? - but I shall share it in the interest of talking. Um. If you say it's okay.)

[http://users.livejournal.com/sapphirestar_/]

I'M ALWAYS TEMPTED TO SLEEP WITH YAOI UNDER MY PILLOW maybe i'd get some nice, good yaoi dreams to go with it.

haha,fldj, well, there are lots of togainu no chi doujinshi out there. BRACE YOURSELF. and speaking of leon, have you played ffviii? i haven't. D:

(no, go ahead! add, add! oh god, i know all about embarrassing e-mail addresses. BEEN THERE, DONE THAT, STILL THERE. XDD)

[popkin16]

OH MY GOD. EVERY TIME I READ THAT SENTENCE - "I'M ALWAYS TEMPTED TO SLEEP WITH YAOI UNDER MY PILLOW -" I KEEP THINKING IT SAYS, "I'M ALWAYS TEMPTED TO SLEEP WITH YOU UNDER MY PILLOW." MY EYES, THEY DO NOT WORK. That'd be great! I've only had two yaoi-dreams. Non-naughty yaoi dreams. Do you own any yaoi?

Ooo, doujinshi makes me happy. I haven't played Final Fantasy VII or FF VIII. *IS MADE OF FAIL*

(I added you. I can't promise I'll be on when you get on, since lately I've been going to bed pretty early. I don't want to get rid of that e-mail address either, because so many people know that address, and I dunno about you, but I'm too lazy to e-mail everybody and tell them to use my new one.) HOW HAVE YOU BEEN, BY THE WAY? IT'S BEEN FOREVER.

[http://users.livejournal.com/sapphirestar_/]

AHHAHAL;FKLJDFLDKJLFKDLKJS THAT'S PRICELESS. KINDA HARD TO CARRY OUT, MAYBE, BUT I'D DO MY BEST. XDDDD but that's pretty every-day to me, because i always read or hear stuff wrong, and pervertly. xDDDD i don't even know if i've had any yaoi dreams. maybe a few fandom stuff. I DON'T REMEMBER. D: er, but yeah. you mean manga? yeah, i do. six or something. seven if you count loveless, which i do. and then my sister has some, as well. OM NOM NOM.

*IS MADE OF FAIL WITH YOU* because i haven't played them, either. not even ffvii lfjkdls,fljdkklfsd DDDDDDD: because a) i don't have a ps1, and b) I CAN'T EVEN FIND THE DAMN GAME ANYWHERE. D: CLOUUUD I PINE FOR YOUUUUU. >_>

(yeah, i noticed. yay! hehe, i've been going to bed pretty early, too. there around ... two in the morning? xDD yeah, that's exactly it! i could change it and all, but i'm far too lazy to actually do it because informing everyone about it would be just aljfdl,sldjflkd.)

i have been ... well, i suppose. I HAD MY FIRST DRIVING LESSON LOLWHUT. XDDDDDD it was pretty scary, but at least i didn't smash the car or kill anyone. XDDD HOW ABOUT YOU?

[popkin16]

HAHAHAKDA;KDS;FE WHAT AN IMAGE THAT MAKES! Always hmm? My parents were always saying perverted jokes in front of me, so I grew up with perversion. I did mean manga. I LOVE OWNING IT. :D :D What do you have? What's your favorite (if you have one)? HAHAHA, OM NOM NOM.

*FAIL'D TOGETHER, I SUPPOSE.* You can play PS1 games on a PS2, I think. But yeah, I can't find the game anywhere either :( Nobody sells PS1 games anymore. WHILE YOU ARE PINING FOR HIM, CLOUD IS BUSY ANGSTING. BUT HE THANKS YOU FOR YOUR PINING AND SENDS THIS LOVELY BOUQUET!

(It's 3 now, and when we talked before it was around 4 my time. Hahaha, you have such a way with words. You describe things perfectly.)

LOL *Applause* Yay for first driving lessons! It sounds like yours went well. Seeing as there was no smashing or killings. I CAN JUST PICTURE YOU AS SOME CRAZY DRIVER. Saying things like, "Stop signs are for pussy's." and "Yield sign? What yield sign?" *Is joking* I'VE BEEN GOOD. Enjoying the last few weeks of my vacation before it's back to school. :(

[http://users.livejournal.com/sapphirestar_/]

I NO RITE. VERY FETCHING. xDD hahah,lgfd, really? i don't know why i got to be like this. I CAN'T HELP IT. xDD umm. i have ... well, the moon and the sandals by fumi yoshinaga, rin! by satoru kannagi & yukine honami, same cell organism (which is utterly lovely) by sumomo yumeka, the first stage of love by kazuhiko mishima and, my favourite, gerard & jacques by fumi yoshinaga. and loveless. and those that my sister owns, but she's still sleeping so i can't go check what those were. how about you?

REALLY?! YOU CAN?!?!?!?!? HOLY SHIT. HOLY SHIT. REALLY? OH MY GOD AND HIS NIPPLES. REALLY? I SHALL ADORE YOU FOREVER FOR TELLING ME SUCH WONDERFUL NEWS. LKFJLD;FKDJLKSJLJDLFJDLFSLKFJDKFJLDKFJL. *incoherent gurgling* ........ brain dead. i'm brain dead. PHOENIX DOWN! ... um. um. OMG YAY. now i only need to find it. er. easier said than done. >_> BUT STILL. \o/ ... HAH;FLKJDKLA OH I RATHER SUPPOSE CLOUD'S UTTERLY SATISFIED WHERE HE IS RIGHT NOW, WITH LEON AND ZACK AND ALL THE REST OF HIS BOYTOYS. XDDD

it's the keyboard!smashing. it conveys the pain in my soul. XDDDD ANGST WITH ME, KEYBOARD, ANGST!

I WOULD MAKE A GREAT CRAZY DRIVER. "WATCH IT, YOU OLD LUMP OF MOLD, DON'T MAKE ME DRIVE OVER YOU WITH MY AWESOME GHEI!MOBILE." ... and stuff. >> nooooooo, lfkjdlsf,ldkjlf,lkjgl school angst emo angst. D< my school starts on thursday. THURSDAY WHAT ARE THEY CRAZY. everyone else begins on monday, but noooo, our school is stupid and THIS THURSDAY WHUT! ... um. sorry. xDD when does yours start?

[popkin16]

YES, VERY. =P Your perversion is a mystery! :O I don't recognize most of your titles - only two. The ones I don't I'll have to check out. "Same Cell Organism" I vaguely know - I almost bought it at the store last week. But the title sort of...made me worried. >_> But! I own "The First Stage of Love" by Kazuhiko Mishima. XD I also have "Only the Ring Finger Knows" by Kannagi Satoru (and drawn by Odagiri Hotaru), Spell by Fujiyama Hyouta, Invisible Boy 1 & 2 by Odagiri Hatoru, and "Cute Beast" by Tsuge Amano. I ordered "White and Black" by Kumiko Misasagi, and sometime next week I'm going to Barnes and Noble to order Wild Rock. :D YAOIIIIII

I'M PRETTY SURE YOU CAN. I HAVEN'T PLAYED A PS1 GAME IN A WHILE, SO MY MEMORY IS A LITTLE WONKY. o.O I'M SORRY FOR KILLING YOU! PHOENIX DOWN, PHOENIX DOWN! Cloud couldn't be happier in his orgy current situation. OH OH I FOUND THIS DOUJINSHI OVER AT AARIN FANTASY THAT'S RIKUXSORAXLEONXCLOUD. *Is dead*

I can almost hear your keyboard screaming out it's pain and angsty...

YOU OLD LUMP OF MOLD, HAHAHAKD;KAS I DARE YOU TO SCREAM OUT GHEIMOBILE ONCE WHILE DRIVING. YOU'LL GET LOVELY WTF LOOKS. XD XD My school starts August 25th, and I'm not looking forward to it (despite taking a Japanese class). Why do you start at the end of the week?! That makes no sense.

[http://users.livejournal.com/sapphirestar_/]

OOH. b-but! you really should read same cell organism, because aljfl,dkjf, it's so beautiful. and YAY FOR YAOI! :DDD i don't really recognise most of your titles - except for the obvious that we've talked about - but i'm going to have to check 'em out. it's possible i've already read them and then forgotten the titles, but hey, you never know. XDD YAOI STASH ON COMPUTER AWAITS! XDD

PERFECTLY FINE FOR SUCH PERFECT NEWS. CLOUUUUUUUUUD OMG YAY. \o/ cloud's orgy situation is getting bigger and bigger every day. >_> OMGWHAT REALLY?! o.O ... i can't get the page to open WHYYYYYYYYY i must tell my sister do download it immediately if she already hasn't. DOUJINSHIIII.

:DD YES! GOOD KEYBOARD, GOOD! ANGST ME MOAR. now i'm apparently its slavedriver.

... ah yeah, maybe when i'm not with my teacher, then. XDDD SHE'D KICK ME OUT ON THE SPOT, LOLWHUT. BUT I WILL, I SWEAR. XDD ......... so late? ogslkjflds,fglsdkf.ldkjfsldfjld. *unimaginable rage* SO LATE OH GOD WHYYY. really. i mean. what. do the schools in the us always start so late? and, well, at the end of the week - NO IDEA. i just. fldkjslf. i swear we have one of the crappiest schools in finland. the whole system's just ... crappy. ah shit. (hehe, sorry about all this. you'll probably hear me rant and rave about my school a lot more in the future, so i apologise in advance. :D)

[popkin16]

As soon as I finish responding to this comment, I'll go and download "Same Cell Organism" XD If you do read them, let me know what you think, please! I think my favorite would be Cute Beast. I have more doujinshi's on my computer than I do yaoi manga...*needs to download more* I tried giving FAKE a try, but didn't care for it. And it seems to be one of the most famous yaoi manga's.

I'm sure Cloud doesn't mind his orgy situation getting better. More pleasure fun for him! YES, REALLY. I HAVEN'T READ IT YET, BUT I PLAN TO ASAP.

YOU WORK YOUR KEYBOARD TO THE BONE. CAREFUL IT DOESN'T REBEL!

DO IT, AND THEN PLEASE TELL ME ABOUT IT. But yes, not a good idea to do it around your teacher. (S)he might not be a fan of teh ghei (blasphemy!). Actually, my school starts early. Most of the other schools start around September 3rd. *sob* How lucky they are! But I get out for Christmas break super-early *makes a smug face at all the other schools* (Don't worry about it. I'll probably rant and rave every now and then myself).

[http://users.livejournal.com/sapphirestar_/]

hehe, great! :D and yeah, alright. i'll probably see if i can find them today, and then read them - especially cute beast, as it's your favourite and all. OMGOMGOMG i love FAKE, it was the first yaoi manga i ever read, i think. we own all the volumes, omg. "MANO A MANO. HOMO-FUCKING-SEX-GALORE!" ahahah, it's so crack. xDD

i saw this cloud strife play arts figure in a store yesterday, with the sword and everything. then there was another one where his bike was. and i was just, lfjkdlsjlsd OMG DROOL CLOUUUUUUUUUD and my friend had to drag me away from there. xDD

OH MY KEYBOARD LOVES ME. DON'T YOU, KEYBOARD? *gets her ass kicked*

AHAHAH, I WIIILLL. ONCE I ACTUALLY MANAGE TO DO IT. xDD i. i. what. WHAT. why don't ever have school like that. D: my christmas break's all normal too, i think. WAAH. when does your school year end, then? (haha, alright then. :D)

[popkin16]

:D I'll read Same-Cell Organism as soon as I'm by myself, because my parents aren't very...aware of what it is I read >_> And I'm sure they'd have a lot of questions if they saw...Yes, please do start with Cute Beast< I ADORE the first story. I didn't like Fake because it seemed like it went "Dee meets Ryu, they fall in love." I was hoping it wouldn't happen immediately.

LOL I COULD SEE YOU PRESSED UP AGAINST THE GLASS, YOUR FACE ALL SQUISHED, WITH DROOL ON YOUR CHIN.

*Winces* Ouch. Pwnd. I MEAN, OH NOES. Do you need help?

Looking forward to reading about it! My school gets out in early May, like May 8th or something. When does yours get out?

[http://users.livejournal.com/sapphirestar_/]

i couldn't find cute beast anywhere. D: we did have spell on the computer, though, which was pretty good. ahahah;lfjd no, it's more like "dee meets ryu, falls madly in lust, ryu meets dee, falls madly in horror", which then leads to dee trying to get into ryu's pants and gradually falling in love with him, and ryu gradually starting to like him in return. it's just so crack. xDD the actual smexxing comes in the last volume, too, so there's some actual plotty plot there, too. :DD

THERE WASN'T EVEN ANY GLASS. JUST ME, THE BOX WHERE CLOUD WAS IN, AND CLOUD INSIDE THE BOX. SEE-THROUGH BOX. OMGLDKJFLDJFLS I WANTED TO STEALZ IT OMG. AHHAHA;LFJDL. :D

n-no, i've got this covere-- *flies into wall*

WHAT. WHAT. OKAY. WHAT. my school gets out in what, the last days of may. WHY DOES YOUR SCHOOL HAVE TWO MONTHS LESS THAN OURS. LFJDL NOOOOOOOOOOO.

[popkin16]

You couldn't? T_T Awwww. It's so great, especially the first story. :( But what can you do? Really? Falls in lust, you say...it seemed to me that they were already falling in love within the first volume, and I didn't like that.

NOTHING STANDING BETWEEN YOU AND CLOUD & SWORD GOODNESS. BUT YOU PREVAILED AGAINST TEMPTATION.

*Winces* U-uh, um. Well. If you say so.

I'M NOT SURE. WHAT IS UP WITH YOUR SCHOOL SYSTEM? PEOPLE NEED A BREAK FROM THINKING. ER, I MEANT LEARNING.

[http://users.livejournal.com/sapphirestar_/]

no. D: i'll have to look again, though, see if there are any scans online that i could read. ME WANTS IIIIT. heh, oh? well, i suppose. dee, maybe, because his "gradually" is more like "rapidly". but not ryo so much, because he's much more reserved and, well, not really into guys at all, at the beginning. haha, i'm sorry, i just like it so much that i always want to explain stuff about it. xDD

I DID. IT WAS HARD what was hmm. BUT I DID IT. AND NOW I ANGST OVER IT. CLOUUUUUUUUUUUD OMG! ... crisis core. ldkjfls. *pines*

I KNOOOW. IT'S JUST WROOONG. SO MUCH WROOONG, OKAY. LJFLD;FLDKJFLD. DAMN YOU, SCHOOL, FOR RUINING MY MOMENT OF stupid LAZY.

[popkin16]

I could try scanning it myself. We have a scanner, and I know the very basics of cleaning scans. I don't want to bend the spine on my book, though. I see. I thought it was "immediately in love", but appearantly it was "immediately in lust". I'll have to give it another try! :D

LOL! Something was....hard? XD SORRY. YOU STARTED IT. Oh noes, an angsty Essi! I have this icon, it says something like, "Your tears taste like seasalt and your angst just poked me in the eye D:". It's a KH icon, actually.

EVERYONE NEEDS LAZY MOMENTS. SOMEBODY SHOULD CONTACT SOMEONE ABOUT SCHOOL AND IT'S EVILNESS, AND...I DUNNO. *Has just realized that things are probably run differently in another country* UM. SUBMIT A COMPLAINT? ER.

[http://users.livejournal.com/sapphirestar_/]

OOH, please, would you? i'd love to read it, so, yeah. but i don't want the book to be messed up, though, so if it's not possible to scan it without doing so, feel no need to do it for my sake! hehe, and yeah! it's just. i just love it, for some reason. i just think it's utterly charming, in its crazy way. xD

OH YES I RATHER THINK IT WAS CLOUD'S *censored* ... but we don't talk about that. maybe later. XD;; HAHHA;FLKHDKLFHDL OH MY GOD WHAT, LOLOLOL WHAT AN ICON. XD;; I WANT IIIT. who made it? i must hunt it down! :D (and speaking of poking in the eye, i've this theory that cloud can use his hair as a weapon. it's so spiky, see, so you know. stuff happens. XD;;)

OH YES. YES, EXACTLY, AND TELL THEM TO START LAZING ABOUT, AND, ER, NO ACTUALLY, I HAVE NO IDEA HOW THESE THINGS ARE DONE HERE IN FINLAND, SO IT'S ALL A MOOT POINT. perhaps contact someone and submit a complaint? *moment of genius*

[popkin16]

I'll try scanning it tonight, and see how it goes. *Nod* But if it might bend the spine too badly, I probably won't do it. XD I really will give it another try, and think, "It's lust, just lust."

How soon is later? I wanna knooow! LOL I could send it to youuu (through e-mail). Or I could just tell you who created it. It was created by moogledaime, apperantly. (OO, THAT'S SO SNEAKY. Nobody would expect a death-by-hair-poking. Cloud's a genius!)

Um. Nice idea...but now we need to know who you should contact and submit a complaint to. WHY IS THIS SO HARD? D:

[http://users.livejournal.com/sapphirestar_/]

hee, thank you! ♥ *glomp* but yeees, one mustn't torture the books. especially not yaoi-books. (but that gives me thought of, er, yaoi + bending and WHAT IS WRONG WITH ME? XDD;;;) >> YAY! i hope you'll like it!

perhaps later today? XD;; YAOI SHOULD NEVER HAVE TO WAIT, AFTER ALL. AHAHHAHA I FOUND IT. IT'S SO DANDY. XD;; (HE IS. um ... in more ways than one. >> AHAHAHHAHAHA I MEAN UH.)

i ... er. um. perhaps the ... no. um. darn it. AHAHHAHA I SEE WE ARE NOT MADE FOR THIS. XD
