Snowflake Challenge: Day 4 (fanwork) and 9 (goals)
Rounding back on some 
snowflake_challenge prompts:
Day 4: Post a fanwork
Out of nowhere, a year or more since its last update, comes a new chapter for Executive Reform: A. Seismology
Executive Reform is my strange Pacific Rim/FFVII fusion, most of it about, well, executive reform: a world in which Shinra accidentally ends up fighting for the good of the Planet instead of its bottom line. It doesn't make them automatically good people; but it's an interesting ride trying to find out where they go.
The main chunk of Executive Reform focused on the latter-days of the war against the kaijuu, when resources are running thin. It's probably my favourite AU universe: Junon in pieces, Midgar also in pieces, Edge not much more than a Shatterdome and slums while all the rich and connected have fled over the plains and into mountains. It's about how Turks and scientists and weapons engineers and megalomaniacal businesspeople turn into war strategists and war heroes and - really - war veterans who learn the price of things.
The alpha (as opposed to numeric) chapters as listed on Tumblr are going to be about the earlier parts of the War: back when SOLDIER was fighting and winning, and fighting kaijuu almost seemed like a PR and propaganda gift from the heavens.
We shall see where it goes! I never plan for any of ER, but it always ends up being some of my favourite stuff - I've gone and played in the sandbox for literally millions of words in a private back-and-forth co-writing freefall.
Day 9: In your own space, set some goals for the coming year. They can be fannish or not, public or private.
Non-fannish (this quarter):
Also, hi new fandom snowflake people! Please do come say hi!
