Ack! Real world responsibilities? Yuck yuck yuck! ;)

Come back soon in one piece. :::hug:::

[mariagoner]

I will try! As bravely as I can, dear!

(And if you have any good advice regarding apparently sitting at a committee on culture and context, I would love to hear...)

[vieralynn]

Sitting in a committee on culture and context... The culture and context theme sounds interesting but what exactly is this a committee of or for (or where or who or what)? ;)

With a little more context on what you mean by "committee" I might have some advice.... Or I might just make things more confused. ;)

[mariagoner]

Oh god, it's been a week and I still don't know what the committee is supposed to be about, sadly. It turns out that the lavatory in my graduate school apparently opens up to a wormhole of sheer academic wankery and I've been knee-deep in inter-departmental bullshit lately. :(

If I ever catch you on AIM... oh, darling, there will be bitching. You can bet your bottom dollar on that, truly.

[aorin]

You shall come back as a stronger and better person, and one day, you shall write a book titled "The Lifetime Achievements of Mariagoner" ;)

::giggles over the fanart::
Good god, doesn't Larsa realise that his plan is backfiring!!

[mariagoner]

Unfortunately, I fear that book would be extremely... thin at this stage in my life. But, um, at least I can put down penning some of the earliest Larsa/Penelo porn around as part of it? ;)

And no, sadly, Larsa's ginormous intelligence has a bad habit of just... failing him sometimes. (See: Vayne and his ridiculously convoluted plans.) He's honestly a little too bright for his own good sometimes.

[lady_venn]

Do try to stay sane, dear. ^^

[mariagoner]

I will try! And I'll still pop in at AIM occasionally so hopefully, I'll catch you there. ;)

[zombie_fetus]

Good luck with the work load...and staying away from fanfic (can't say I have much luck with that one myself)!

(Oh yeah! btw, +1000 awesome points for being in lkh_lashouts. That comm is PURE GOLDEN. XD)

[mariagoner]

Oddly, my desire to read fanfiction (but only outside the FFXII context, oddly) has increased just as my desire to write it seems to have trickled away slowly. Not sure how that works, exactly, but that's how it all seems to be operating for me.

And yes-- Mary Sues with 'Rainmaker' ::shudder:: capabilities will always have a special place in my life. Even if it's one that gives me cathartic glee from reflexively bashing. ;)

[aura890]

Heya sorry to here that you'll be insanely busy and good luck with the committee thing.

And there will be more Larsa pounces on Penelo events? *blinks* that boy should damn well wait and slow down!! or else she may die before her plans even gain some ground (though I am convinced that Vayne will scare the crap out of her so she may well just re think some things anyway) and Baltheir... what the hell will he say when he discovers all this??? *blinks*

And the fact that she seems to obviously also like other men who are a hell of a lot older then Larsa :P haha what does he think of this? Oh I so hope this ends ok :P though more embarassment is bound to come...

Oh I've also wrote a Penelo fic from the very begining from before the war I've done as I aimed and don't know what to do with it :P lol

[mariagoner]

Heh, thank you. I so think I'm going to need all the help I can get with grad school. ::sigh::

And my god, if only for Larsa's sake, I can only hope the poor dope doesn't try to peck Penelo to death once more. They'll probably end up having to scrapw whatever's left of him off the tarmac afterwards.

But more realistically, they'll probably need to set a talk on boundaries. And monogamy. And surviving Archades as well. If I can ever scrape together the time to write it, it'll be fun!

And you wrote a Penelo fic? Oooh, interesting! I think you should definitely put it up on your LJ and Fanfiction.net account and look for feedback. We can always use more Pen fic in the world. ;)

[aura890]

Grad school? is what your doing really really hard

Sorry For Being So Late With This Reply!

[mariagoner]

Grad school is full of lose and eeeeeevil. The first year, when you're trying to establish your footing... oh, that's definitely the hardest thing!

And heee... yes, both Penelo and Larsa will have more than a few things to tease each other with over the years! Well... if they both live long enough, anyway...

Surviving Archades and Larsa's brother... well, if it gets down to it, Penelo's a fast runner. Maybe she'll be able to sprint her way out of trouble.

And trust me, you don't even need to think of Revenant Wings as being part of your canon if you don't want to! God knows I don't-- especially since Vaan and Penelo actually DO hook up during that time period. Who needs that, really? ;)
