I completed the daily NaNo goals, so here is the thing I would've entered in the last round of fe_contest had I planned to enter, which I didn't.  It literally came to me in the middle of the night while I was trying to go back to sleep after the cat woke me for reasons best known to him.  I played with the idea a bit and wrote this; it's kind of a sequel to ( Read more... )

In case you're stuck for ideas for  ( Read more... )

Great.  Now that I've sworn off entering the contest (for modly impartiality), my brain seizes on a crack pairing I so want to write.

Screw it.  I'll write Palla/Arran anyway.  It'll probably spill into 7K words, knowing me.  Thanks, Pixiv!

Writing for Magvel is interesting, but there's no 'ficcer feeling quite like the feeling when an Archanea ( Read more... )

So, this story is not the same thing as this "experiment" from last month.  They were worked on simultaneously, but told two parts of the same scenario; the FFnet 'fic features the daughter of Eirika and Saleh in a little coming-of-age story, while the LJ "experiment" featured Ephraim's reaction to his niece once she shows up in Renais.

No, the weekend's silence was NOT an indication that I got "traded to the mafia" in a bid to resurrect writers of yore.

Basically, it was just go-go-go for the last five days.  I finally zonked out around 9PM last night, woke at 3AM and threw a load of wash in the machine, then went back to sleep until six.  I'm behind on reading, reviewing, and ( Read more... )

I did not enter fe_contest  this time, even though I liked the prompt.  I had an idea I really liked for "Vanity" involving courtship/marriage between Innes and L'Arachel in a 1930s-ish setting, an evolution of the 'fic I keep wanting to write entitled "A Simple Game of Self-Respect."

When a 'fic title is derived from Elvis Costello's "Two Little Hitlers," ( Read more... )

 I wasn't going to enter this time, despite the wonderful " woman king" prompt from xirysa ,  because a) 500-word limit?  Moi? and b) the one idea I had dealt with a very obscure character about whom I already wrote back for Challenge 002!

Oh well.  Have some more Yumina anyway.  It's not like anyone else is writing about her, and I love her to bits.

( Some spoilery stuff re: FE3/12 )

 OK.  Next couple of weeks will be busy as all-get-out and then I'm going out of town for the holidays, so I went ahead and made my fe_contest contribution tonight.  Um, I'm really not sure what to say about a story that references Poochie: The Movie, other than to say that FE12 takes my brain to deeply-screwed up places.  Also, I think Mary Sue and Gary Stu ( Read more... )

 OK, emblanon  was fun for a while, but the assholes came out of the woodwork tonight.  Maybe just one asshole, but one's enough.

As for the next round of fe_contest ... I just finished 3,685 words of cynical FE12-inspired bullshit.  I think non-fans of Archanea will probably need crib notes to decipher the damn thing.  It features a Mary Sue, a Gary Stu, and ( Read more... )

Anon memes are a good place for trolls and sockpuppets.  And I guess you can say, even at their best, that anon memes kind of debase the conversation because you're not engaging in dialogue with your friends, or even your 'Net friends-- you don't know who it is you're agreeing with, or debating with.  Are they real?  Are they sincere?  Is it your ( Read more... )
