Description: German for "wide awake."

Yes, I'm one of those scary fanfic-writing people. *makes a face*
In any case, here's my fanfic:
HellwachI guess not much happens in the first chapter, but I'll post the next in a few days, so. Do enjoy. It's a continuation of the anime, so Kira and all get introduced.

This is very interesting to read. Laplace seems evil in this, we're not sure whether that was intended, but we'll have to see what happens later on.
So, Megu is dead in this? It appears so. We wonder what Suigintou is going to do now.
Edit: You know, while we were reading the blurb, and the thing about how they must become human and all, I thought to myself 'If they become real girls, I wonder what would happen when they deal with their first period?' Nothing really to do with your fanfic, but it's an interesting thought because as dolls they don't have it [obviously].
Just me being me, carry on!
Rose Crystal - March 31, 2008 12:18 AM (GMT)
Megu is indeed dead. It's not really a huge topic in the story except for the fact that it deals a severe blow to Gin-sama and weakens her emotionally.
The period thing I'm definitely planning to cover at some point. Kana, ever the comic relief character, is constantly popping up and going on about risque topics such as that.
UPDATE: Chapter 2, "Auferstehung," has been posted.

I see you managed to work in the small portion I wrote. Nice.
Very well-written as always. Can't wait for the next chapter!
Merines Shinku - April 1, 2008 05:23 AM (GMT)
Nicely done, Rose Crystal
Can't wait for the next ch
Hey, what does the titles mean?
Anna Cassidy - April 1, 2008 05:48 PM (GMT)
Hellwach is "wide awake" (according to RC, at least--can't really confirm it, seeing as how I don't know any German), as seen in the thread subtitle. She hasn't told me what the others mean, though.
Rose Crystal - April 3, 2008 03:57 AM (GMT)
Chapter 1: "Alicespiel" = Alice Game
Chapter 2: "Auferstehung" = Resurrection
Chapter 3: "Honig" = Honey
A lot of the chapter titles are named after various songs from the Rozen Maiden soundtrack, translated from Japanese to German (example, chapter 3 is taken from the song title Hachimitsu. Beautiful song.)
UPDATE: Chapter 3 has been posted and is up!
Anna Cassidy - April 3, 2008 02:46 PM (GMT)
I think this has to be my favorite chapter so far.
I lol'd at Gin's criticism of Kun-Kun and Hina's honey problem.
Any idea if Megu's funeral will be shown? That'd be really interesting to see.
Rose Crystal - April 3, 2008 07:42 PM (GMT)
I wasn't planning on showing the funeral, but since you're interested, perhaps it will happen.
kokoa - April 3, 2008 08:49 PM (GMT)
Gin-Sama is human now! How will Shinku react [Good for you Suigintou, now get me some tea!]. Kira is up to something! I KNOW IT! If Suigintou kisses Kira's ring, does that mean Suigintou will be Kira's medium? That would be weird!
alice_pyon - April 6, 2008 12:20 PM (GMT)
Whoa
Then Gin will be Kira's medium..
This story is definitely twisted
hahaha
I'm just kidding, makes me wonder though...
Rose Crystal - April 7, 2008 03:30 AM (GMT)
Chapter 4, "Ausschuss," has just been posted. I don't know if it's up. If it's not, you might be able to try going to chapter 3 first, which might make it appear on the chapter menu.
EDIT: Okay, now it works even without going to chapter 3.
Anna Cassidy - April 7, 2008 03:38 AM (GMT)
It does work if you go to chapter 3, yes.
As usual, very nice. I've already said what I think about it via IRC, but yeah.
kokoa - April 7, 2008 07:09 AM (GMT)
Very good to see Gin adapting to being a human. KIRA IS UP TO SOMETHING! I KNOW KNOW KNOW KNOW IT! So Suigintou is Kira's medium? It appears so. I'm surprised that Shinku isn't jealous or anything, and if she is, she isn't showing it.
Rose Crystal - April 7, 2008 12:34 PM (GMT)
Why would anyone be jealous of having to live under the shadow of the fact that, at any moment, some unseen person could drain away all your energy and kill you? :P
Unless you meant Shinku being jealous of Suigintou's humanity, in which case, I'm fairly sure she's happier she doesn't have to deal with what Gin's dealin with.
kokoa - April 7, 2008 10:38 PM (GMT)
By the way, what does 'Auchess [spelling?]' mean? Out of curiousity, I don't know German and I didn't see any A/N.
Rose Crystal - April 10, 2008 03:56 AM (GMT)
It means "Junk." >D
Chapter 5, "Atem," is up. I hope you like your silly-willy happy chapters, because there are not that many left before the drama sets in... ;)
Anna Cassidy - April 10, 2008 02:08 PM (GMT)
As always, excellent work.
Jun's "model/porn star" comparison amused me more than it probably should've. (Holy crap, "should've" isn't a word either? WELL FUCK YOU SPELLCHECK)
To be honest, as much as I love the silly stuff (and I honestly do, as you no doubt know by now :P), I'm looking forward to the drama--you've told me a lot about it, and it sounds really exciting!
Merines Shinku - April 10, 2008 03:43 PM (GMT)
HOW DOES A FLAT-CHESTED GIRL = PORN STAR??? [she really is... can't argue about that...]
Shinku DOES NOT equals to "porn star"
But "model" equals to Gin though...
Anyway... Looking forward to ch 6!!!
Rose Crystal - April 10, 2008 03:54 PM (GMT)
Actually, the human Shinku is quite curvaceous.
Anna Cassidy - April 10, 2008 05:14 PM (GMT)
Somehow, I can't imagine Shinku being all that curvaceous.
Gin, on the other hand...
Rose Crystal - April 10, 2008 05:20 PM (GMT)
Nah, Gin's the one who got shortchanged on the T & A.
Still hot, though...
Anna Cassidy - April 10, 2008 05:22 PM (GMT)
Rose Crystal - April 10, 2008 05:32 PM (GMT)
How about you write your own RM fanfic where they become human, then? :P
Anna Cassidy - April 10, 2008 05:35 PM (GMT)
I would if I could write.
Rose Crystal - April 10, 2008 05:41 PM (GMT)
I think you're a good writer. ;_;
Tasogare - April 10, 2008 09:34 PM (GMT)
Great chapter.
Drama sounds good. I like drama. ^^
..Should've isn't a word? O_o
Anna Cassidy - April 10, 2008 11:05 PM (GMT)
Not according to my retarded spellcheck. ;)
Rose Crystal - April 10, 2008 11:56 PM (GMT)
Some person reviewed the story apparently thinking it was over.
It's far from over, guys. I see this story going for a minimum of fifty chapters.
just so y'know.
Tasogare - April 11, 2008 12:14 AM (GMT)
50. O_o
I wish you luck with that. I personally lack the patience to finish a huge project.. ^^; It shows on my profile. >.>
Rose Crystal - April 11, 2008 12:16 AM (GMT)
A lot of people have reviewed this story and watched it or added it to their favorites, so I have THE PRESSURE on me.
Tasogare - April 11, 2008 12:21 AM (GMT)
lol. The pressure is often the only motivation I have.
...there isn't enough of it. >.> Maybe my summaries suck.
Merines Shinku - April 11, 2008 01:29 AM (GMT)
Shinku... curvy?
I can't imagine THAT
But you're a good writer...
Rose Crystal - April 11, 2008 01:30 AM (GMT)
thankyou :D
I may sketch up the characters to show everyone what they'll be looking like, so.
Merines Shinku - April 11, 2008 01:31 AM (GMT)
Anna Cassidy - April 11, 2008 07:53 PM (GMT)
kokoa - April 12, 2008 04:59 AM (GMT)
I can picture Shinku and Suigintou with curves. However, if it was Hina or Kana...No, just no. It isn't logically possible.
Kekekekekeke.
Anyway, nice chapter. So, because Shinku knows how to change, then Sugintou doesn't have to tell and they know what she's on about anyway!
Rose Crystal - April 22, 2008 02:24 AM (GMT)
Chapter 6, "Menschheit," has been uploaded. It shouldn't take long for it to go up, and as previously recommended, try going to the previous chapter first if you can't find it in the chapter menu.
I like writing about cake.
Link to the chapter. I got skillzOkay, so this one was pretty delayed. That's what happens with birthdays... and hanging out with friends... and guy drama... and and and... :P
Anna Cassidy - April 22, 2008 02:37 AM (GMT)
You included Yamamoto! :D
Hina's gluttony continues to amuse me.
KIRA FANSERVICE OH MY GOD. XD
Merines Shinku - April 25, 2008 01:29 AM (GMT)
very funny
But imagining them in human form is a tad difficult for me, why don't you post some pics?
