Last Saturday was dad's birthday..I wonder what he'd say now?
I've been sick for a few days but things still continue, even with work and babysitting. I need to teach that kiddo (niece overlord) to say "aunt" because she keeps saying "mama"!! She used to say "ada/ajan".
Fanfiction
Had an interesting conversation with
heldogtertjie about Lemon Fanfiction, its content, and what is the difference between explicit and non-explicit mature themes, since the former is what
Fanfiction.net doesn't allow. NC-17 fic are no longer allowed; however, there are still plenty of M-rated fics with love scenes that are maintained. Perhaps NC-17 under the guise of M-rated.
Also, we discussed why fics with mature themes are so popular? It is difficult to explain but sometimes, least for me, when you see an explicit type story I tend to get disgusted. A story with good grammar is roughly seen as a good story, and apparently untouchable to rules. Heldo made a M-rated story for NARUTO recently (her first story), but the story's reviewers somewhat bugged me, which prompted the discussion.
"Could you read my story and tell me what you think?"
"Er...(hesitant)" But I did, and I thought it was good. However, I explained that two main grips I had with lemon was the use of slang and character discrepancies. The discrepancies are inevitable when a love scene is involved so I had to put that away. According to Fanfiction.net guidelines, M-rated fics are described as the following:
Not suitable for children or teens below the age of 16 with non-explicit suggestive adult themes, references to some violence, or coarse language. Fiction M can contain adult language, themes and suggestions. Detailed descriptions of physical interaction of sexual or violent nature is considered Fiction MA [aka: NC-17]. MA is not allowed.
It also states in red: Please note FanFiction.net does not accept explicit content, Fiction Rating: MA, and the rating is only presented for reference.
Too much to explain what we talked about. Here are some interesting Links (READ AT YOUR OWN RISK):

I'm playing
Uninvited (悪魔の招待状; a devilish invitation), and for a long time I always had a weakness in Point & Click search/puzzle games. I want to like it...but I don't want to check the FAQ for help. There are little hints as to where and how to progress. There are scrolls that tell you a little story about the betrayal of the master's disciple and how important items are locked away, but you're looking for your missing sister.
It's bothersome that not even process of elimination can help you that much in game. I like to think that every room is significant and that I should take whatever items that I can, especially items with a number next to them. I watered the plant and take the fruit, but what to do with the fruit? Give it to who or what? Hard to explain, maybe another time.
More in the game news: Possibly new Pokemon: Nobunaga's Ambition, also the excitement of Pokemon X and Y. I still don't have a 3DS...(=+=;) Slightly disappointed in finances.
