Can haz a do-over?

[leans on droll flist] Ok. This week just officially sucks. Today was less rage inducing than yesterday, but instead involved a heart sonogram sort of scan in which I think the lady was trying to shove the sonogram wand through my ribs (or at least that's what it felt like, and dude, I realize the breast is mostly fatty tissue, but there's a lot of ( Read more... )

rose:...and kittens!

[hugs!] Thanks. ^_^ A lot of them are OCs, either mine or someone else's. Fanart is mostly grouped under the folders.

Hee! That one is definitely still in the works. I've got... um... 2500 words of the next chapter, which is still missing a chunk out of the middle and another chunk at the end. (If the scene goes A-B-C-D, I've got A and C written, but need to string it together with B and D.) It's gonna be a bit larger of a chapter than I was anticipating.

[is told!] [headbumps you] 36 hour days, man. I keep saying, all I need is a 36 hour day...

Heee! You read my SW stuff? See, I had you totally marked in my head as "met well after I fell out of SW", and I kind of figure most people don't backread unless it's a favorite fandom. [spreads hands] If you have, I'm going to be all wiggly and glowy. ^_^ Or if that's what you're going to read... um... well, be aware it's epic (and episodic) and involves unhealthy levels of crack AU. Also not 'finished', per se, but the skeletal framework is there, it's just not fleshed out. =P

...ok, yes, this is true. But at least I'd get a few more things done! And I might sleep more! =P

I will also warn that there are a few more pieces at the end of JAOA which haven't been uploaded yet - that's on my "to-do-soonish" list.

I loved that picture since before I knew you drew it. Strangely I did not connect my LJ-friend with that picture until I was flipping through your gallery and had a *!!!* moment.

I second the "do-over without stupid* motion. This week has purely sucked.

Hee! ^____^ I always think that's fun when I find someone did something and I hadn't previously known to connect the two. Thank you!

How is it only Wednesday?! (ok, actually, I'm glad it's Wednesday - I've spent all day thinking it's Tuesday, so at least that's one more day down. Of course, now I'm wondering what happened to Monday...)

oh gods... what to say! I love how together you seem, despite flailtastic days and fail-days. I love that it seems like you have a plan and are striving for it - even if you don't!

Your art. HNnNNNNNnnnnnggggg fucking joygasms every time i see something new. I still love looking through your older works.

Writing. Oh my gods, my dear. I. You. I love the steampunk TF that you had going on. I love the old FF8 things you did. I adore... like epically ADORE Ghosts. You have no idea how much I love it.
I have to say, i look to you as like...a mentor of sorts for world building because you are, in my eyes, tenacious about it (in good ways). You're striving for more and so indepth and I adore you for it. I love how you build this huge wonderful world. I look at my startings of the sky pirates and think "What Rose has done with that, I want to do with you. I want you to become as good as Ghosts."

You make me want to strive and do that good too and you're an inspiration for me! <3 Thank you hun!

eeeeee! ♥ [wiggle] ^___^ Ahhaha, I won't disabuse the notion that I have a Plan. I like this idea. ^_^

[happy wiggles] Thank you! That's just the best compliment ever especially since my worldbuilding feels like a lot of flailing and throwing things in the air to see what patterns they fall into and then having someone bop me over the head with a history book and trying it all over again. It's sort of disorganized, but I'm pleased as anything that it works!

There's no way for you to have known this, but I've had Comes the Tide sitting in an open tab next to the flist tab for a solid week now, waiting to be in the right headspace to read it.

Read it last night, and yeah, it sings as much as I remembered it doing; it's the most sympathetic look I've ever had at Seifer, hollowed out and all his bravado torn away and he's still scraping himself along, because what the hell else can you do?

And then the lightning hits. Everything he's not and anything he might have been if history had gone a different way and he'd had a bit less to prove to himself, and Zell's so much not the kid Seifer remembers that he doesn't even consider not reaching out and pulling Seifer out of the mud.

It's such a refreshingly grownup version of the game characters. <3 They're neither of them teenagers anymore and it shows. *!!!*

"The grownup version of your teenage canon" - I think this may be my personal motto. I also think I need this on a tshirt or bumper sticker or something! ^___^

And THANK YOU. That pretty much encapsulates why I love them all to begin with - that, those versions of them, are what I see when I look at them. I'm glad I conveyed it well enough to make it tangible on the read page.
