Stuff I have been up to

Sentou Yousei Yukikaze FST and The Etched City FST reuploaded to [livejournal.com profile] fst (join comm to see posts). Upping a couple more before month's end - may even toss up that 20th Century Boys FST, eheh, though it's hard to count it finished when I haven't read all the manga yet. ^^;

100-word FFXII drabble gifted me in [livejournal.com profile] drabble_trade (Chrissie, isn't the first one you too? o_O): here and here (inappropriate bunny cat ears warning). Signups for round two are under way. I think this time I'll offer for offbeat fandoms only and see what happens.

Other FFXII drabble request GETTO ♥ from [livejournal.com profile] geekerypokery: here (end of game spoilers warning). Here as well as above I'm assuming that having read the one(s) I linked everyone will click through and read the others, which are even more brill. I haven't requested from other people because I owe too many drabbles and thus feel too guilty to do so. XD;

Drabbles I contributed to [livejournal.com profile] drabble_trade:

for [livejournal.com profile] silvermuse89: PoT, Shuusuke and Yumiko


The boy shuffled the deck twice, slowly, and returned it to his sister. She fanned it over the bedspread. He chose a card and turned it face up.

"Self," she said, and his lips quirked. "Would you rather I read them one by one?"

"No, I'll pick."

He did. She said, "Your surroundings. That which blocks you. Your fundaments. That which crowns you. Past. Future. Persona—"

He placed the card.

"—And how others see you. Your hopes and fears. The final outcome."

"How terrifying."

He held it face down and smiled. She laid her fingertips against his wrist.

for [livejournal.com profile] orangensaft: Love Mode, Reiji x Naoya


An orphan is the sole survivor of a drowned continent. The sea casts him ashore, or fishermen catch him in their nets; they give him water and ask, Where do you come from? But his lips are cracked with salt.

There was a world. I've already begun to forget what it was like.

Naoya wakes in darkness, head pillowed in the crook of Reiji's arm, his own folded in the narrow space between their bodies. His lips brush Reiji's pulse, slow with sleep beneath the skin.

He thinks: I will sleep until he wakes. Then we will both remember, together.

Other drabble-related thing I made: [livejournal.com profile] fanwork_tag, a sandbox for anyone who wants to play Truth or Drabble, Sketch or Drabble, etc. (it's a lot less bothersome to have the signup post on a low-volume LJ comm than a personal journal). I advise single-fandom games as multi-fandom has a way of getting out of hand ahahaha. Um. WILL SOMEONE ELSE PLS START A FFXII GAME I HAVE NO TIME orz|||

I'm going on RL social hiatus until my birthday (which, well, I'll at least let you know where that's happening XD;;). Not declaring LJ hiatus but don't be surprised if I drop off for a bit - or conversely, spam. I just really need to get a few things done, and I don't have time for that, compiling the next SSBB issue, and seeing people in the evening or on weekends. ...Besides I'm kind of seriously PUP right now. XD;;;;

Thanks again for the lovely drabble! There isn't nearly enough Fuji and Yumiko fic in the fandom.

I better also 'fess up to writing the first FFXII drabble, though I'm very flattered you thought it was [livejournal.com profile] sesame_seed. Apologies if anyone was OOC, I'm still midway through the game. Leveling is proving to be more tempting than storyline, unfortunately. XD

Ohhh, thank you! (And you're welcome~) I didn't even know you were playing FFXII. XD

Ooh. XD I want to be challenged again, since it worked out so well the first time. XDXD

[identity profile] petronia.livejournal.com 2007-01-30 04:50 am (UTC)(link)
I'll let you know once I start another game, for now I've just made the comm. XD

Incidentally, I'm getting a lot of questions about Warring States China lately from a Sabina. It took a little while for the cognitive dissonance to fade. XD

(Apropos of nothing, my students are so cute. XD)

Cat ears, actually -- not that it matters, except for the fish. Biologically it may be ridiculous, but you can't say that as a fan wish-fulfillment vessel a tribe composed of bunnygirls and catboys does not make sense.

If you're offering for offbeat fandoms only, plz to offer at least one that somebody else is already requesting? (Like City of Diamond!)

And thanks for the pimp and pinch-hitting. XD

Ohhhhh-- geez. XD; FAILURE AT READING COMPREHENSION.

*eyes you* Haven't decided whether I want to input book fandoms though!
