Has anyone else gotten a glitch in the Fifth Ark in FFXIII, where a Phosphoric Ooze merges with your player character(s) and takes them out of battle without killing them? AND it becomes an Alchemic Ooze and proceeds to whip the remaining (usually AI) characters with its flan-ny scrotum. Bitter? Me? Never.

I have gone into full lurk mode in order to complete the train wreck that I like to call my MSc thesis. I will finish posting this, though.

This is the end of the fic, but there is an epilogue to which I will give a bit of a brush up before releasing into the wild.

Ahahaha... I knew I couldn't keep away from action scenes. Definitely getting to the end now, though! Lots of fighting to do. My favourite part. XD

Alright, angst. You have squatted for long enough, and you have been gratuitous, but now I want you out.

How is it that I always end up in a love/hate relationship with anything I attempt to write? It's much shorter than usual, but LJ just told me that the post is too large, so who am I to argue? I'll tack the bits I cut off at the end onto the next part.

I did say I'd be updating frequently, huh. They will be very short, though, it seems.

Some backstory for anyone who may be interested in this part, and a return to the heavy angst. I am obsessed with this game right now.

I seriously had zero intention of continuing this. The disjointed vignette style is difficult for me. But I am almost finished another playthrough of FFXII, and the plot bunny just keeps kicking me. There's so much more that can be done with this idea, it says, bashing me over the head.

So here I go. Updates will hopefully ( Read more... )

Taking a little break from editing Dissidia fic, and I decided to dip my toe into Final Fantasy XII. There's something really gorgeous about that game in its graphics, atmosphere, characters...

This is an experimental style for me as well as my first M-rated (I take that to mean explicit to an extent, but not fully) slash, so I am nervous of the ( Read more... )
