And if you cannot find someone on this list from a fandom you are interested in, I declare myself confuzzled. (Or maybe I just don't have much headcanon for them.)

I'm over halfway through The Power and the Glory. That's right, I posted Part Five this evening. That means I only have four more parts to go, and I'll finally get to the rest of the canon characters. Heh. (Oh, and for those who thought Vayne would be next--not even close.)

I don't think I've ever gotten this far into a multipart story, except for NaNoWriMo where I at least have a goal of sorts. This, though...I'm writing it because I want to, and there's no reason I can't stop (except that it looks bad for my first venture into a new fandom to be abandoned). Maybe it's that I know very clearly where I'm going and how long it takes to get there. Maybe it's that the chapters are of a length where I can hammer them out in an hour or two, i.e. in one sitting. Maybe I really need to establish some headcanon. Maybe it's just that these guys are in my brain and not coming out.

Well, and the next idea in my brain requires getting everyone's voice right and trying to fill the maximum possible number of plotholes. And will take extra-long, because of the number of loose ends. And did I mention getting everyone's voice right?

I have way, way too many epic!plotbunnies.

I wrote a story! Well, part of one, anyhow. And it's for a new (in terms of fic) fandom: FFXII. Yay for politics! It makes writing genfic even better than writing romance!

So, it's over on my ficjournal, here: The Power and the Glory, Part One: Gramis. And if you can't recognize who the character is from his name in the title, it is likely to be spoilery for you, and you should wait on it. And it's gen, because gen is my one true love, especially in this fandom. Okay, except for my tendency to think up weird and too-damned-plausible pairings like Fran/Penelo and Vayne/Cid someone stop me before I write them.

That's what I did on my weekend.

Major reaction: SQUEEEE!!!!ASKFLGHL:JHFKGF ♥ ♥ ♥

Um, yeah. This game just hit all of my 'Cygna likey!' buttons in one go: snark, old-fashioned speech, heroes being stupid and unheroic and getting called on it, good plotting, strong familial relationships, political intrigue, complex relationships, and a morality in which Our Heroes are actually better than The Bad Guys. And snark. Did I mention that?

So, um, off to read all the fanfic I haven't read 'cause I've been being good. Bye.
