[identity profile] dandywonderous.livejournal.com posting in [community profile] onepiece_300


Hello! My name is Dandy (durrr) and I have decided to grace this comm with my presence! XD
I find this via [livejournal.com profile] mishagirl and decided to join, because I am some kind of challenge whore because it looked like fun. XD And despite that I am desperately busy half the time... okay, eighty percent of the time, I figured I could manage 300 words a week without dying. Hopefully.
Some things to know about me: A, I am a total Sanji fanatic. I try not to write only fic about him (today's isn't, woot!), but, well, expect it a good 60% of the time. B, I'm not into yaoi or yuri, but I brave it when the story's good and it doesn't get to physical. And, should I ever actually win and pick the prompt, I promise to judge based on story and style and IC-ness, etc, and not be like, "Ew, dat guy kissed anudder guy, gag me wif a spoon!" Because frankly, I would just make myself look retarded. And I like looking smart. When I can pull it off (haaaaaaah, good one).
Oh, and I tend to ramble in author's notes and such. Sorry...
Anywho, I didn't just post this to waste your time; I have an entry! (shock) Here we go...

Title: Midnight Reading
Rating: G
Media: Fic
Characters: Robin, Strawhat of your choice (I could not decide!)
Word Count: 221
Prompt: Candle
A/N: So, for the beginning, I threw random syllables together. Heehee. XP

 
The execution of King Hommalappo cleared the way for the newest royal line, the Abidabs, headed by their first ruler, King Achobe III…

Robin’s head nodded, causing the words on the page to blur together into a thick line. Her forehead sunk to rest on the page for but a moment, then she sat up with a jerk, eyes blinking furiously in the dim light of her candle.

She shook her head in an attempt to ward off sleep and took another sip of her coffee. Normally this maneuver was sufficient to wake her up, but tonight it didn’t work. The account of the reign of King Achobe III was melting into the records from his successor, whose name was either Dalongo or Techino, and if the letters would just stop jumping around she would know.
She took another drink. The world stayed out of focus as her eyelids slipped to quarter-mast, half-mast, until her eyelashes brushed her cheeks.

Perhaps it would be best if I got a little sleep, she finally conceded, using her arms as a pillow on top of the book. Just a few hours…

She was so deeply asleep, she didn’t notice when someone laid a blanket over her shoulders and blew out the candle before slipping back out of the library with a whispered, “Good night.”

I'm the one that sent you here??? Yay me!!! I have to pat myself on the back for that one!!!

This was super sweet and since I am not much of a
Robin fan that is really saying something!

And of course as a fellow Sanji fangirl I can only squeel in delight as I welcome you to the comm!!!

I particularly liked that last line. <3 I love the camaraderie the Strawhats have and it makes me so very jealous of their dynamics. :X Robin's characterisation was spot-on here. I really liked how simple this was. Simplicity and Robin just seem to go somehow. ♥ Well done! And welcome to the comm~
