Less Dream Dreams.
Well, so...feel like I should post, so I shall. Not been gettimg much response lately, but that's not the important part of all this, is it? no, it's not.
Wing did an utterly amazing thing and chose to review Long Fall From The Heavens, one of my two or three finished fanfics, for Terrouge. Very nice things, and I'm going to thank him next time I see him. I'd forgotten totally about it, to be honest, and at some points I had to go back to the writing to see what he was talking about. I hope it's not my "main contribution to the world of Redwall fanfiction", because I'd like to get The Blue done, as I think it's a rather clever and unique story. Stood the test of time, one might say, for staying such. I've started to rewrite the third chapter, skipping over a bunch of stuff that wasn't interesting ("If you don't want to write it, nobody will want to read it"), and I'm going straight to the clearing scene, which I think I started. I think it had the ill fate to be written on my iPaq, in which case it's been erased five times. Looking forward to getting the right frame of mind for that.
What I've been mainly working on is the Vulpine Imperium, and all the cool stuff we're going to be putting in soon. The front page has a totally different design now than anything else, so it looks more consistent no matter what style you have. It also has ::gasp:: pictures. Kenshin is now MinoWar, too, an exciting happening. He's been helping out a bit with some little stuff, and hopefully he'll be a help to getting Sean to do things.
The new items system is nice, and it'll be fun to actually get to implement things like user-owned banks, clothing stores, and publishing companies. That's in the future, but it's a lot easier to do now (Legal System took like two days to code with the new items system). It gives the distinct advantage of not having to code in special cases for every new type of item we add. Corporations will be fun, too. We'll need to do some recruiting to get people to staff all the stores and such.
RWL is going - I'm not playing any accounts, so I'm a little disconnected from the actual game. We put out 3.1.03 today, with a whole bunch of bug fixes. Still some bugs I can't figure out (news on turbo, land discrepancies, etc...).
The marking period at school ends tomorrow. or next week. or sometime during break. nobody is quite sure, but all of our stuff is due soon. I'm afraid - I know I didn't do amazingly on a few of my classes (Econ, Calc) and I'm afraid that I won't have my average pulled up enough by other things. I'm also afraid that my Econ teacher is going to be an idiot like before, and give everyone two grades lower than they actually got (my report card says I got a C last quarter, his calculations say I got a B-). Very little I can do about it, though, so eh.
Going college visiting next week. Should be interesting. It took a while for my mom to understand that I didn't want to stay over saturday night at Syracuse. Getting an idea of a college of good. Spending a night following drunk strangers? bad. And if people drink heavily at any of the schools I'm going to, they drink heavily there. I visit Clarkson first, then I'm shadowing a Senior in Software Engineering at RIT, then the next week I'm going to visit Brandeis and Syracuse.
And...my, that's long. I'll stop now and leave some other ramblings for another time.
