I totally feel justified in reading other people's hilarious Advent Children threads as, like, I've seen twenty minutes of it already. But this reminds me that - correct me if I'm off-base of course - I always kind of assumed the ZOMG FANFIC feel to the latest crop of FF7 spinoffs was due to Enix? I know the merger caused a fairly thorough corporate shakeup, and I always pictured this gang of Enix managers trooping down to Nomura's office and going "ALL YOUR BASE IS BELONG TO US, RESFIC NOW THX. :0"
...No?

(2AM and no one will be reading this) I need a proper frontispiece for
Petronia // Yume. Am a bit stumped, I want a Mirage of Blaze pic but certainly don't have any original or doujinshi Mirage art that looks good in electric blue on black monotone. >_> Suggestions are welcome.
Not only have I not been reading Mirage, I've not been thinking about it. ^^; It's like I've locked that part of my mind away and stuck a biohazard sign over it. I've had to put fandoms aside because they were impinging on pressing real life concerns, but only reluctantly and never with great success; this is the first time I've had to put a fandom aside because I needed my brains back for other fanstuff. Weirdly the one exception seems to be that Chiaki jazz bar fic, which I'd still rather like to finish before I leave despite it being 99% unlikely. It's just that I have the suspicion my brains'll be eaten by a whole new set of who knows what by early October.
...I have decided to bring Trinity Blood novels for plane and train reading. Admit this is pretty genius. For all I know I may even be inspired to write for the series; I mean what would you rather read anyway, travelogue bloggery or travelogue bloggery thinly disguised as plotless fic about Hugue de Watteau wandering around Bruges and angsting?
