Recathon Updates and a Meme

[ficwize]

* I have the best flist! All of the banners I need for the Recathon are being made. See? ROCKING!

* The plan to proceed to the reccing part of the Recathon should come together next week. I hope to have it launched before Turkey Day here in the US. Please, please, if you mentioned that you were able and willing, I'll have banners for snagging and advertising available and I'd apprecaite it if you could do that. This thing will only be as good as everyone else makes it.

* Finally, for those of you who offered to help with organization, I will keep you posted.

Now, a meme, which I stole from likeadeuce:

Name a character from one of my fandoms, and I'll give you either (a) three facts about them from my personal canon/fanon, (b) a reason he/she sucks, (c) a reason he/she is awesomecakes, (d) three things that never happened to that character or (e) three people that character never fell in love with and why. You pick the character. I pick the letter.

I like this meme, I think I saw milleniumrex do it once and I meant to do it myself sometime.

Hmm, how about something challenging, like Hatori from Fruits Basket?

Hatori - very cool. *dusts off my Furuba memories*

Three things that never happened to Hatori:

1. He never did understand how Momiji's father could abandon his son like that. When he took the boy under his care, he would sometimes hear him crying. He never went in to offer comfort, because Momiji only held himself together out of strength of will and kindness in those moments would undo everything. It almost made Hatori wish he'd never taken an oath to do no harm.

2. He never fully understood Shigure's need to be a manipulative bastard. He loved his friend, would do anything for him, but sometimes he thought the Dog crossed the line. It was his place in the scheme of things to try and leash him in, but Hatori always remembered the wisdom of the saying warning against taking away a dog's toy. He wasn't really afraid of getting bitten as much as he was afraid Shigure, without his 'toys,' would give up and die. Hatori wondered if he would ever be okay with the fact that he repeatedly chose his friend over the innocents hurt in Shigure's games.

3. Hatori never saw New York City. He'd always wanted to, but his condition made travelling difficult, and his family made it impossible. As a boy, he would dream of seeing the Empire State Building and the Statute of Liberty and eating real New York Pizza. He watched the Macy's Day parade every year. But then he became a doctor, and then he became Akito's caretaker, and he knew that he'd never see the Big Apple. And he was okay with it. Mostly.

Very good, I especially like the analysis of he and Shigure's relationship. :)
