Okay, the last two days. I went to the Video Games Live concert in Newark, and it was AWESOME. Seriously. MADE OF WIN. Among other things, you've never heard One Winged Angel until you've heard it live in a concert hall being played by a full orchestra, choir, and guitar soloist. Most impressive theme music ever y/y?

Then I came home and had a fight with my dad in which I ended up airing a series of grievances I've been suppressing. This is why I should get more sleep. I'm tired, I'm stressed, and I blow up and say things which are true. So I'm not speaking to him at present.

BUT! I decided that my Christmas present to myself was going to be a Nintendo DS. Accordingly, I asked for a number of DS games for Christmas. Today I went and got a DS, so now I am playing...Phoenix Wright! *does little dance of happy* Seriously, I have never enjoyed being a lawyer so much in my life. Somuchfun. OMG. (Among the other loot is a collective copy of Re:CoM and Okami for PS2, which I should probably play first, as I'll only have so long to zip through them.)

I've been replaying FFX in the evenings as a way to relax before bed. I love this game so damn much. It's so awesome, I love the characters so. *sidles back towards fandom*

Speaking of fandom, I have a pile of stories to write, I know, OMG. Working on it, but family + holidays = lack of time.

*hugs in regard to father issue* ♥

OKAMI. NAO. GET ME TO WRITE THAT FIC THAT I'VE BEEN MEANING TO ALL YEAR.

Well, this is unrelated, but I read your story. I'd been saving it, really, for a night like tonight where sleep seemed reluctant and the computer seemed a good way to chase it away entirely, so paper was desirable.

But yeah. I read it. And still couldn't sleep afterwards, but that's not the story's fault, I think, but my own.

It was very good. I like the way you told it as a series of little fairy tales, little stories. I feel sorry for the robber girl, actually, most of all. But perhaps... well, that's another story =P

(In other, completely unrelated news, what was that font? It was very... chancery-like, and I haven't found one that was a good imitation yet (yeah yeah, I'm lame, but I need a reference to practice my script.)) <-- nested quotation marks for the win.

I may give you a more intelligent comment on the story later, but right now, I hope you understand, there is nothing going on in my head but everything going on in my head and coherent, single-thread thought is very difficult, as is sleep...

OBJECTION!

FFX is apparently disliked in the FF fandom for some reason, but I love it to bits as well. I just relate to the characters more than the other games I guess. And I think Seymour beats Sephiroth in the "interesting villains" department. I think FF12 is really good as well, but it doesn't quite have the same heart. FFX and KH will always be my fandom babies. I think I've been writing for them for about 5 years now.

Most of the games are disliked by some big chunk of fans or other. I can't think of any game, even VII, which has unqualified love.

Luckily there are enough fans of each to sustain the fandoms, though with the older games it's harder since a lot of fans have moved on and/or exhausted their plot bunnies and fandom muses.

SO EVERYONE MUST PLAY X AGAIN SO WE CAN WRITE MORE FIC.

YES O MISTRESS.

I really need to hash out and actually write my vague ideas about Auron and Wakka. Because FFX fandom needs more genfic, RIGHT NOW OMG. Or love stories that fit with the tone of canon. (I'll be over here, writing Luzzu/Gatta and quoting the Iliad whenever possible and it will be tragic.)
