You are one of the most interesting person I have ever met. And I must make it perfectly clear that I know many interesting people. *muses* Ah, the wonders of livejournal; it's much easier then fanfiction in a way. But I really met get to the hope.
Concerning about the fact why a complete stranger is commenting about the fact that you are interesting, I apologize. Just a habit of mine. But really, I must admire you, for your writing and your life. It's nice to know that you trust people on the INTERNET and write about how you feel and think about your life. You have a sense of courage and trust that I admire in people.
Oops, off subject again (though if it was off subject I wouldn't have typed it of course) but I have wondered what made you fall into, what seemed, oat horrible block I haven't seen in a while. But it's a good sign that you are typing these things. Writing things. Or maybe it's just me that feels that writing rants are good things for a writer's block. *shrugs*
But grow. Grow all you want and in a way that makes you feel proud of yourself.
And I think that listening to the ramblings of a stranger isn't safe but I hope you grow up to be even more interesting.
Those are very high compliments that you levy! I appreciate that you took a few moments to comment, even if it was on self-indulgent, whiny trip like this.
Trusting? Yes. I don't consider it courageous, though. I was spoiled in my teen years on the internet, meeting the most amazing people. I had a Final Fantasy forum that was like family, and to this day several of my closest friends in all the world are from that forum. We visit one another, send birthday and Christmas gifts, etc. Because of these amazing people, I was never afraid of meeting people from/over the internet.
Every person you meet anywhere is a risk, but I don't see any difference between real life and the internet when it comes to making connections. Yes, people might lie more easily with a screen and miles between them and the person they speak to, but that doesn't make my affection less valid or genuine. I'm odd, I suppose.
My writer's block is an insidious thing. The end of Paraselenic is coming close, and I have a million strings to tie up. And the pressure on me from so many readers really bogs me down and makes me worry endlessly about disappointing everyone. The pressure makes writing less of a catharsis and more of a chore, and that stifles any creativity I have. I get moments, though, where I'm terribly inspired and and able to write... then it fades again.
Right now, against my better judgment, I am writing a crossover instead of finishing my in-progress fics. But I've made a vow to myself that I'll no longer post work I've not finished, because I hate leaving people hanging like this. *sigh*
Anyway, I've talked your ear off enough. I apologize for that. ;) Thank you again for the comment, I needed an excuse to smile. :)
You are interesting! And odd! Ooh, this is going to be fun. *bounces on heels*. :)) F-U-N!! ^^
Ah the horrors of writer's block. *crinkles nose* Don't like them and will not like them unless in extreme cases. But Final Fantasy? *perks up* Are you a FF Fan? Oooh, which one? Do you know Crisis Core? What about number 7? Do you like Kingdom Hearts? *bounces in hyperness*
If you know FF7 than I highly recommend you to read some of the fanfics on fanfiction. So many pretty people with unique pasts and wicked chemistry clears the most-hardest of ruts sometimes. ^^ Amarissia is a FF7 fanfiction writer and she just loves mysteries/angst/cuddly things. And there is the occasional rape fics but she loves to play around with shonen-so and yaoi characters. And there is also Hades.Phoenix who wrote an absolute brilliant go-back-in time one. (a favorite thing, the whole time travel thing, but so much fun to read!)
But it's a good idea to spend time with yourself and try to not feel pressured by readers . Then it's much harder to finish a story. And it saddens me to thinks Paraselenic will end soon. You're Harry and Tommie were favorite of mine. The first time I read Pareselenic, I swear I heard their bickering in my head. It made me laugh. ^^ Hope that you're inspired to write it again!
I've been a Final Fantasy fan since I was about 14 years old and (finally) got a Playstation. I skipped from original Nintendo to Sega and then years later I got a PS, so I missed out on all the originals on SNES. I played every game and relished in them, though my favorite RPG series of all time remains Suikoden. Final Fantasy will always have a place in my heart as my amazing introduction into RPGs.
Ahhhhh Crisis Core! That is one of my biggest recent obsessions. XD I am a Zack fanatic to such a degree that I accosted a cosplayer at an anime convention dressed as him so I could demand a hug. XD Now, I'd like to add a disclaimer now that my subsequent date with him were because of his amazing intelligence and personality, not because of his cosplay but... hot damn. XD I like FF7 well enough, but Crisis Core is a love. So is your icon, by the way. I meant to say that last comment. ;)
I'm so bad at authors, but I ran through dozens of FF7 fics a few months back. I am a big Zack/Cloud fan currently after having read about a dozen pairings, though I'm still highly flexible. XD My reading spree actually inspired the 10 pages of Para that I managed before my computer crashed and lost them. :P That also set me back miserably.
I am obsessive over timetravel. Discounting oneshots, I think there is only one fic I've ever written that wasn't one in some way, shape, or form. I love do-overs so much, they're a blast to read. I think my favorite bit is waiting for others to find out, as someone always does.
Crossovers aren't really my thing most of the time. They're usually so contrite. But an author I was talking to had a challenge on her forum, and the premise intrigued me completely. Not only was the crossover totally bizarre (FFXII/HP), but the ideas for how he traveled and world integration made me really want to take off with the idea. I've written thirty pages in about a week and a half, I'm so addicted to it.
But I treasure this idea, since it has gotten me writing again for the first time in months. I hurt when I don't write; it is my catharsis. Between classes for my degree, my job, and my daughter, stress tends to build up, and writing helps me release that. Being blocked like I was managed to leak into the rest of my life, as well.
Speaking of it, I just had an idea for a scene. XD Harry/Balthier is the weirdest pairing I've ever written, but this is working out awesomely. XD I await your reply, and thank you for such an interesting conversation. ^^
Ah, Crisis Core. The bane and absolute love of almost every single yaoi/shonen-ai fangirl of FF7/Crisis Core. Sadly, I only played a little of both games (couple years ago there was a younger brother who decided to wash his sister's PS by dunking in a sink. Full of water. With the memory chip. With all these loose flaps and screws popped out. And the said sister came home from school one day, went to the bathroom and screamed bloody murder. Now she has no more PS)
...Yeah, us humans had decided to evolve backward into hillbilly fishies. *scowls*
But Zack! Did someone say Zack-pup?! I love you Zackie!
Ah, a fellow Zack-I-gotta-love-you-forever fan. It's so nice to meet you! *shakes hand frantically* I fell in love with Zack because he reminds of an ideal image of someone I wanted to become. Sadly, I'm too shy and distrusting sometimes so that goal was shot down by Vinnie's huge-three-barreled gun. *giggles* But I fell in love with Zack. I head-over-heels fell in love with him. And became obsessed with his puppy-like behavior.
And then the Turks consumed my life.
But Zack holds a very special place in my heart. First time I saw him and Aerith in the Advent Children movie (most horrible and awesome way to discovery Final Fantasy even existed. Couldn't understand anyone or thing except I found the entire storyplot intriuging) it was like BAM! Instant fangirl love! And then the Youtube stalking started up two years after I saw him (because I forgot his name afterwards....wait, I don't even think Zackie's name even came up!) when I FINALLY found out who he was. And thus my obsession over him - - Zack/Cloud? *perks up* Oh, you are a most delightful person! A CC lover who isn't afriad of Harry Potter! I know a few FF writers who don't like Harry Potter because of J.K. Rowling's writing style (and I too find her way of looking at life slightly weird. It seems so shallow...the ones on fanfiction seem so much more real....) but it's so fun to meet you!
Ah, if you don't mind rape, then there's a wonderful Zack/Cloud fanfiction called Falling Up. Link: http://www.fanfiction.net/s/4501739/1/Falling_Up It's by a wonderful author called Etrixan who has written sort of Zack/Cloud/Sephiroth pairing fanfictions.
Amarissia writes a mean Zack/Cloud/Sephiroth pairing fanfic. She has written a long string of oneshots or twoshots concerning those three called the Decorum Series. Link: http://www.fanfiction.net/u/1388020/Amarissia But I must warn you, her story Madness of Angels, will make you a Zangeal fan (Angeal+Zack) I swear to god I never thought of those two as a pairing before I read Madness of Angels. Now I'm beyond giggling over them. And obsessed. And loving it. Heed the warning! - - *gleefully cackling* Ooooh, time travel. The secret obsession in everyone's hearts. 'If onlys...' 'What ifs...' 'Buts...' are all the questions that started the whole frantically breeding bunny plot. And the fans reap all the glory and greatness of it! Do you know esama? She's Finnish but her English is remarkable, a bit of bad grammar here or there but her English is better than some people I know, and her sci-fi/fantasy/fiction/parallal universe fanfics are incredible! Link: http://www.fanfiction.net/u/1137344/esama
Sadly, she does not finish most of her stories but when she does, *grins* their quite fun to read. She even wrote a Hikaru no Go time-travel one and Sai comes back! - - Hmm, Harry Potter/Final Fantasy crossover? Wicked! *grins* I love interesting crossovers. And I won't quite mind if you post something like that! Just make sure to spend some time coaxing out Paraselenic. But a Harry/Balthier? Uh, my knowledge of X-2 isn't so good but that has got to be one of a most odd-ball pairings I ever heard of. But it looks like they would have good chemistry. Hmm, savior of the whole HP world against a cocky, 'leading man', who has a soft-trusting side for a bunny-woman that kicks ass by sticking arrows up the enemies' ass. *grins* Fun!
Toodles for now! Hope I didn't burn your eyes off for typing so much. And ignore all the typos please! This online conversation has been one of the most funniest and interesting ones I had! :))
