Today something incredible happened to me, and I think I need to tell you.
When I was 14 I joined a Pokemon forum, I made good friends and today we are a group of very good friends. 7 years have passed, but some things still surprising me. These friends and me show photos of each one to see how we were, or we meet in person, EXCEPT ONE. He never wanted to meet, or show photos. And one day send me a figure by mail, but he used his father address. Anyway, we thought he were shy or something.
Today, 20th or July, confessed us he did all this because is a girl. She tell us that the first time she entered the forum years ago, it just have boys(today the forum have girls too) and she was afraid about not be nice at all, and with the time...she used to it and didn't tell it, until now. We are all in shock, and I'm a bit semi-depresed. Anyway...I'm not angry with her, she still being the same person but with the gender switched....and she tell us that want to meet us if we still want being her friends, and she showed us some photos of her (she is cute!) We are getting to is, and yes, we'd forgive her.
Well...the funny note comes when a friend (of that group) told me "have you ever though about how the guys from Mulan felt when they find she's a girl?" and... I laughted. Because HE'S RIGHT! He's absolutely right. I felt like Shang for a day... XD
And no, this is NOT a joke or an invention, it was happened to me, and I'm still a bit shocked now.

I know the feeling xD Though I see nothing wrong with that. A lot of people MISTAKE me for a boy and stuff actually - but you can't correct them if they never say it xD
As for me, I might get moved to another studio... or might not when the boss sees what he has to pay for the train-ticket ~

A lot of people MISTAKE me for a boy and stuff actually - but you can't correct them if they never say it xD I think everyone has a fair share of that. I remember I went with my father to a garage because his car had to be fixed. I was very cold and was all wrapped in blankets( it was a convertible).So one of the people who worked there came up to me and said "cold, little boy?". Apparently he had already met my twin brother and mistook me from him.This has happened several times. And now I'm afraid to put my hair up or cut it short XD

I think my post was misunderstanding ;_; I know the feeling xD Though I see nothing wrong with that. A lot of people MISTAKE me for a boy and stuff actually - but you can't correct them if they never say it xD No, is not a confusion about we think she's a boy. She PRETENDED to be a boy. She told us she's a boy for 7 years, until she confessed us is a girl. A confussion can be common, but not lie about it ^^u And I can't use to it, I've talked with a friend by phone and I told her the story and I said "he" instead "she" and I confuse a lot... agh. ALSO. Why I read here 'cricket' instead of 'ticket'? *random thing*

Well, no I got that don't worry xD I think it's like newbies stumbling over Chester the first time they get here And you read cricket... Because Cri-kee possessed your soul!!!! I see good chances regarding money this year. With the year-ticket my boss is gonna pay for getting to the new studio I'll only have to pay half of the way to get to school, which is gonna save me alot of money + more salary because of second year in the apprenticeship =)

^congratulations^ So... I am currently trying to write a Mulan fanfic(My first,if you don't count the one for the contest) It will not be more than a one-shot btw,because I suck at writing full stories. Any tips on characterizations or mistakes I should avoid?

Well, basically the hightest treasure on fanfics in the Mulan fandom is originality. Mulan is a very limited fandom that only allows a certain amount of plots to play out. Mulan goes to war, Mulan loves Shang, Mulan becomes a child or what if Mulan's secret was found out earlier are WAY overused. But then again, for a Oneshot you can basically take anything.
I recommend missing scenes maybe, those are always fun to read (at least to me) and only very rare. The Gang of Three is pretty much unloved and Mushu can ALWAYS get another ficcie *g*
Do you have any idea already what or WHO you want to write about that is? Or are you just gonna start from scratch?

Thank you! Regarding your fanfic... I agree with Levy. You can either make your own sequel up instead of continuing what happened after Mulan II or maybe write about a charcter from the movie like Mushu =) or maybe even Cri-Kee! Just giving out some random ideas. Lol

Well, actually my first idea was an oneshot between Mulan and Shang(heh heh !) But then I realised I suck at writing lovestories... So my second idea was a missing scene. It's basically a conversation between Mulan and Mushu right before they go to the frontlines.I'm working on it,but it'll take a while since I also have to proper translate everything to English because I don't think many Mulan fans speak dutch

Ah! Don't worry about the love stories stuff. I suck at it too but I managed somehow to write one on fanfic. Luckily I'm almost done with it xD Oooh! I like that Mulan-Mushu conversation thing! I would certainly love to read that! Regarding about your translation, you seem to speak English very well! I didn't even know you spoke Dutch xD and yes Levy, my favorite cricket doesn't even have a story. Although some ideas are sparking up >D

BEHOLD! The most adorable creature in the world..... Cri-Kee! Lol, I love Cri-Kee too much xD And yes, I am thinking of doing a one-shot with Mushu and Cri-Kee, however I don't know if it's best to do after my next story about Shang (which is kind of lengthy) or before it. Any suggestions?
