When it comes to my fanfiction, I tend to find that what I get into is largely seasonal. Winter has come around, which means for the first time in about two years I've rediscovered my warm fuzzy spot for Roy/Riza.

Yes, a new fic. Much more angst than fluff this time around, but so far I'm liking it. The final product will probably be severely pared down. It's been a while since I've written R/R and I don't like fics for that series to get bogged down. On the other hand, maybe I will read over it later and decide that all the words fit too well to remove.

Hopefully the first few chapters will be fit to post in the near future.

I think part of this inspiration comes from the fact that my last R/R fic is still, 3 years later, being favorited on a frequency of about twice a month. Considering that it's posted on FFnet, I find that fricking amazing.

===================

In other news, Xmas was good. I have a large wad of cash/cash equivalents to squirrel away in my savings for NY and Europe this summer. I also have a few new video games and the 2nd book in the Greywalker series. I liked the first book enough to want to read the second, despite some stylistic agreements I have with the author. Definitely an interesting plot, though.

I'm seriously considering buying a new TV. The ancient tube one I have in my room is woefully inadequate for my loverly PS3, and it weighs a TON. I've wanted to be rid of it for a long time now. I'm shopping in the ~20" LCD range...they are getting so amazingly cheap.

My f-list:

I'm getting more and more frustrated with the service and civility (or lack thereof) of SixApart and its pet lemming Livejournal. I am, therefore, planning to move very soon to another journal. I will probably keep this account on a free basis, but only to monitor anyone on my f-list who doesn't post on other journals.

Here comes the audience participation part: Please tell me any and all other sites were you currently keep blogs, so I can best decide where to establish my new foxhole.

All comments are screened, just in case.


P.S. I know I haven't been posting much, but I'm definitely planning on getting back into the game soon. I've had a lot of thoughts swiriling around in my head that are stubbornly refusing to organize right now. My new bullhorn and horse-whip are on back order. And yes, that was a metaphor.

Dear O Mighty Vindictive Pagan Gods of My Personal Canon:

Why have you forsaken me?

I was in my nice happy fluffy place, writing lots of nice and slightly pornographic fanfiction. Not long ago you gave me reason to believe that my canon was consistent with the universe. Now you have taken that away again. ...Are you breaking up with me?

Please pick one version of the Law of Fandom Physics and stick to it. Accomodate me, I will continue to enjoy myself; Go against me and I will be miserable for a few weeks, then give up and move on. But all these mixed signals are frankly cruel.

Also, please tell your patron Network Fox to go fuck itself. I somehow suspect this is mostly its doing.

Unhappily yours,

Obsessive House Fangirl #2816, "CJ"
