    I have this idea for a fic in my head. It's been nagging at me for the last couple of months, but I haven't started writing it yet. I've got notes and plot-points and twists of all sorts written down for it, but the actual story is not being written yet.

    I was wondering if anyone would read it if I were to write it. It's a bit on the strange side, all considering the pairing isn't very popular from what I've seen, but what I have might be interesting.

    It is slash, so if you don't like slash, don't bother to reply to this because I'm only interested in hearing from people who might be interested. The pairing is Luxord/Marluxia, but it takes place before they're Nobodies, so it's actually Rould/Lumaria. The story is going to take place in Port Royal, which I'm going to expand a bit to include Tortuga because Luxord belongs there, in my mind.

    The premise so far is basically that Rould is a gambling pirate who spends a good portion of his time in Tortuga, playing cards and dice and drinking rum with his fellow gamblers. During a particular game of poker, his opponents put up for bet a young French man (either a high-class citizen or viscount...whichever I decide in the end) named Lumaria (pronounced similar to the word "lumiere"). After a couple of hands, Rould wins the game by luck of the draw; he cheats, but then again, everyone in Tortuga cheats.

    So, Rould wins Lumaria and therefore, in a sense, now owns him. Of course, Lumaria is not pleased. That's where the story really starts getting fun, because you know it's going to be interesting to have Lumaria curse Rould out.

    My question is, like I said before, if anyone would read it.

    Any feedback would be very much appreciated.

    The concept sounds interesting, though it all depends on how well you write it. I would at the very least read the first chapter.

    You sound like you know what you're talking about. Sure, I'd read it, but only if you write it as well as you explained. =P

    When I'm really working on things, I tend to get a little descriptive, so I'm hoping that, if I do write it, it will turn out well. The notes I mentioned in my post are long and descriptive, some of them are even scenes that pop into my head while I'm plotting, so there's a definite chance that I very well might write the whole thing out. I'll be sure to post at least a link here so that you can read it if you would like to.

    Considering I'm planning on a scene where Lumaria just curses Rould out in French and Rould smirks and replies? Yeah, I'd say it'd be funny. Though my sense of humor tends to be a bit on the morbid side these days. 9_9;;

    But considering that it's you writing it, I'm willing to give it a shot. Just don't neglect my Hayner/Roxas porn! ;_;

    It's not very popular. On ff.net, there are only three stories for the pairing. Which makes me sad because I really like the pairing.

    I won't neglect your Hayner/Roxas porn. XD;; I'm still working on that, too. It's just going slowly. Roxas refuses to cooperate.

    Ah man, I've been siding more with the Khyaoi communities for fics. Roading in Ff.net sometimes...¬_¬ Especially in BIG fat fandoms.

    You had better not neglect it! D: I'm randomly craving for Hayner/Roxas dirty, straight to the point porn, and I don't know why. (Aw, stubborn uke's kinda hawt...<3)

    Yeah, KH-yaoi on LJ has some pretty good fics. I've been mostly reading at Rigo Argutiae for my Zexion/Demyx fix. :3 Lovely lovely stuff there. Posted a one-shot smut there that I'd been working on for a few months.

    It takes me time to get smut written! I have to go through and make sure it's new and all. Think about it. The thing with writing smut is that if you write so many, it all seems redundant.

    Anyways, back to topic. Imouto, would you be willing to help me with one or two scenes in this fic? I want to have Lumaria curse Rould out in French, but I have no clue how to go about swearing in French. =S

    I think it's alright except for the part bolded in red. Where did you get that? The two words look by no stretch of the imagination to be pronounced even close to similar. Okay I'm not trying to be mean, I just think that. So, um yeah the rest is okay I guess.

    On-line translators are never quite as accurate as someone who actually speaks French, so for me, it's easier to ask my imouto. And she's said that she'd help. :3

    I understand your point and thank you for pointing that out. To clarify, "Lumaria" has the same pronunciation as "Lumiere" when it comes to the 'maria' and the 'miere'. The 'a' is pronounced long. If my pronunciation still doesn't seem right, I apologize.

    I'll email what I need to you. Can't exactly give you what I want translated over this because it'll be editted all to hell. Luff you! Thanks!
