#kaleido star yume

[kaleidostaranime]

The best error of this series is that Sora is adopted, but in Mirai no tsubasa Yume looks like Sora’s twin - totally

at least anime producers were smart enough to give Yume and her parents brown hair

-adding low effort recolour of Sora’s official art, because Yume would look like Sora with  brown hair anyway :p

[kaleidodreams]

I just realized I never promoted this fic over here, so since today is Sora’s birthday, I give you the first Kaleido Star fic I wrote!

Summary:  When Yume sees her adopted big sister Sora perform at Kaleido Stage, a new dream is born. (FF.net)

So, uh... This is a video I've made literally a decade ago for a quizz on Sporcle. With all these copyright problems I never for once thought this video would resist and win(?) the battle, so I'm posting it here now lol. I would love to make more of this, but because of the after mentioned reasons, this is the only one. Everybody is always recalling about opening songs, so of course I felt the need to make something big about ending songs. The songs I chose are VERY random because I tried to make the game enjoyable by not making something so easy that you can answer it just by reading the name of the songs alone. Also, the mixing is a mess but I assure you it still worth listening lol. If you don't want to play the game and just listen to a megamix, here's the tracklist: 01.

Keiko Yoshinari - Asu e no Yuuki (Mahou Kishi Rayearth/Magic Knight Rayearth) 19. Shouko Nakagawa - Happily ever after (Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann) 20. Mai Yamane - The Real Folk Blues (Cowboy Bebop) 21. Claire - Fly Me to the Moon (Shin Seiki Evangelion/Neon Genesis Evangelion) 22.

The World Figure Skating Championships have begun! I was really hoping to be able to post a new Yuri!! on Ice fic, which partially takes place at the 2017 Worlds in Helsinki, but it’s taking me longer than expected to finish it, so instead I’ll highlight my most popular Kaleido Star fic, “Melting Ice”. There are no scenes at Worlds, but it does start off with Japanese Nationals and the Olympics. (FYI: Some of the skating info may be out of date, since I began posting the story around the time of the 2010 Vancouver Olympics and actually started writing it a year or two earlier. I tried to go back and update as necessary as the sport progressed and changed rules, but I’m not sure if I caught everything!)

Summary:  After failing to make the Olympic team, skater Yume Naegino decides to join Kaleido Stage. She is chosen by Fool to perform the Lovers' Maneuver, but to do so, first she must melt the heart of her partner Mikhail, popularly known as the Ice Prince. (AO3)

Fanfiction Questions

Third section, Author Questions

21. What was the first fanfic you ever wrote? Sweet Dreams... It's not very good. Not even going to link it, although if you’re truly interested, you can check my FF.net profile.

22. Is there anything you regret writing? No, not really. Looking back at my first few fics, they really kind of suck, but everybody has to start somewhere, right?

23. Name a fic you’ve written that you’re especially fond of & explain why you like it. To Be By Your Side - Ever since I started writing fanfiction, I've wanted to write an amazing and popular Chibi-Usa/Helios story, and I think with this fic, I finally did it. Going by the number of FF.net reviews, it's the fifth most popular Chibi-Usa/Helios story and close to tied with number three and number four. But more than that, I think it's one of my best written fics, and I usually end up crying whenever I reread it because I'm just overwhelmed by how much I love them and how much they deserved their happy ending after all the pain I put them through. (Oops?)

24. What fic do you desperately need to rewrite or edit? I love Spirit of Fire, but I think the first few chapters especially could use a rewrite. Never going to happen, though. It's way, way, way too long!

25. What’s your most popular fanfic? Melting Ice, Against the Rules, and Spirit of Fire all have over a hundred reviews at FF.net, so they're definitely the most popular. Although going by favorites, which might be a better way to judge, The Night Before and No Longer Alone become the most popular, which is interesting...

26. How do you come up with your fanfic titles? There's really no set process. Sometimes a title will just come to me right away. Other times, a fic will remain that "untitled Kaleido Star WIP" for months while I decide. (Eventually settled on Melting Ice, BTW.)

27. What do you hate more: Coming up with titles or writing summaries? Hmm...it depends? But probably summaries.

28. If someone were to draw a piece of fanart for your story, which story would it be and what would the picture be of? Oh, wow, that is so hard to decide! I'm going to pick two. My first request would be the kiss between Yume and Mikhail after they perform the Lovers' Maneuever at the end of Melting Ice. The second is Ami and Akira's first shrine visit of the year in Against the Rules. (I just think it would be really pretty.)

29. Do you have a beta reader? Why/Why not? Sometimes. (Shoutout especially to @xingshining, who has done a lot of beta-ing for me over the years!) If somebody wants to beta for me, I'm grateful for the help, but I'm fine without one, too.

30. What inspires you to write? Canon itself, mostly.

31. What’s the nicest thing someone has ever said about your writing? I've received too many reviews over the years for any one to stand out as the nicest, but I will say I treasure the private message my idol his lordship Chaos sent me a long time ago for To Be By Your Side, especially this part: And for me, the real treat has been reading about Chibiusa. I was never a big Chibiusa-as-seen-in-the-anime fan back in the day--and admittedly even now if I'm looking at using her in a fic, I prefer going by the manga and your fanfics as a reference point. You've managed to make me enjoy her as a character, and that's about as great a compliment as I can make. In your portrayals of her, she exudes both the confidence of an aspiring soldier who's already seen her share of epic battles, and the unexpected shyness of a young woman just coming into her own.  

32. Do you listen to music when you write or does music inspire you? If so, which band or genre of music does it for you? I usually prefer silence whenever I write. Otherwise, I get distracted and start singing along! *laughs* I do have one fic that was inspired by a song, though: Queen of Hollywood. It was inspired by the Corrs' song of the same name. (And I’ve always wanted to write a Chibi-Usa/Helios songfic to the Charlotte Church/Billy Gilman duet Dream a Dream, which I consider their song, but I’ve never gotten around to it.)

33. Do you write oneshots, multi-chapter fics or huuuuuge epics? Oneshots and multi-chapter fics. I'm not sure if any could really be considered epics, but some are pretty long.

34. What’s the word count on your longest fic? According to the word counts at AO3, "Spirit of Fire" is 257,691 words. Wow. And that's not even including the side stories.

35. Do you write drabbles? If so, what do you normally write them about? I have in the past, usually as the result of a challenge or request game, so the subject varies. They can sometimes help when I’m feeling blocked, but I don’t find them all that interesting to write.

36. What’s your favourite genre to write? Drama, probably. Particularly family drama.

37. First person or third person - what do you write in and why? Both, although third person is my default. I tend to only use first person for one-shots that are meant to be introspective. Third person just feels more versatile and natural to me.

38. Do you use established canon characters or do you create OCs? Both! Just depends on the story.

39. What is you greatest strength as a writer? Emotion and characterization, I guess?

40. What do you struggle the most with in your writing? The actual writing part. The longer I write, the more self-conscious I've gotten about my style.
