New Beginnings and Human Emotions

Welcome to my fresh new beginning. Still called Phoenix on the Shore, but this blog will be much more focused on my writing and other related creative things. Thus, I am hereby announcing my update to Kyou Kara Maou: Chronicles of Color. If you are familiar with the series and are also fond of the ramblings of an overenthusiastic mind on this particular subject, feel free to peruse it. And if you are not, go ahead anyways. My writing has improved greatly since my Fanelia: Four Years Later days, though I'm sure there is much more improvement to be made.

One of these days I will post a oneshot Kyou Kara Maou fanfic, called "Blossoms" - it is about Wolfram's unrequited love for Yuuri. While it is already written, I will post it later, maybe making a few more tweaks to it. I wanted to feel - through Wolfram - how it must be to care about someone so much, have them perfectly aware of it but not have those feelings returned. But somehow, the current time seems to be inappropriate for posting it.

Love is a tricky subject. Attraction especially; it seems to me to be something inexplicably unexplainable (yes, that phrase was coined on purpose). Human relationships and emotions are the key to every single piece of creative work that has ever existed, and often I think that there is absolutely no exception. In the past few weeks, I have gone through almost all of Jacqueline Carey's first Kushiel trilogy, watched the Korean film adaptation of Antique Bakery, and today even saw the new Star Trek movie at the theater. I wonder if anyone has ever tried anything different.
