Yuletide Recs!
Dec. 27th, 2011 12:35 pmSadly, there weren't nearly as many videogame fandoms written as there were requested, but that's to be expected. If only there was a videogame only type Yuletide thing (and not just FF, but like ALL the games). Oh well. But here's what I've read and liked so far. FFIV fans: every single fic written this year features Kain, so if you're into (unlike me) that go check it out. I'll probably wander into the FFVI at some point, too.
( um I should cut this for those that do not care )
I'm gonna stagger these as I actually read them. Since you know, I'm back at work (though it's dreadfully slow and I don't even want to start on this one thing yet...). Kind of in a daze with the things I should be working on at the fact that everyone else in the educational community is off on break (which includes my bosses... and I'm out of PT else I would also just say fuck it).

So! FFEX FICS ARE OUT
May. 14th, 2011 02:34 pmI wrote Whatever Happened in the Meantime, and FFVII story which focuses on Reeve and Shera and has an appendix for the timeline. At about 5000 words it's the longest fic I've written for an exchange ever. It is also what has got me thinking about writing an epic Shera story. XD
My gift was Free, a FFX-2 postgame story in which Yuna meets adorable kidlet fans and is generally awesome.
Other ones that I have very much enjoyed reading:
His Chapter, FFX, Auron/Braska. Really heartbreaking.
A Silent Aeon FFVI, MADELINE FOCUSED. Very sad but great!
Acts of Release FFIV, or Cecil and Rosa do bondage. Explicit. Awesome.
Trading Post FFVII, super adorbs main party fic that is a lot of things I love about FFVII.
Negotiations FFVIII, in which Seifer talks Quistis into BDSM. Explicit, as well.
And great art:
Scions of Darkness FFXII, Fran and Penelo espers. Just gorgeous.

Let's talk about some games and books I've finished recently!
Pretty spoiler free, as in I will mention a tone of an ending or a random detail but not WHAT happens.
( So I finished Professor Layton and the Unwound Future and Back to the Future Episode 1 because apparently I am into games with time travel themes right now )
( I also just finished all of the Princess Series by Jim C. Hines that is currently out )
Now to get back to the next Vorkosigan book, in which Miles is currently in a climate much like mine is right now (aka FREEZING)!

Reverb10 and some Linkages
Dec. 27th, 2010 04:36 pmHello again world! That was a nice vacation. Best Christmas in years, because I think my family finally gets that my issues.
I also have a NOOK now, which means I am now a part of the eBook scene officially. What I like best about the NOOK is it doesn't force me to read just Barnes and Noble provided books, and has a lending option. I also happened to get a B&N giftcard, so I totally bought myself two of the Princess Series by Jim Hines, because I was kind of intrigued by it. So far The Stepsister Scheme has been a lot of fun and I really want Snow and Talia to make out, because they are basically Cendri's Favorite Femmeslash Type Ever.
And Back to the Future: The Game continues to be amazing.Gangsters are not helping me to not write slash.

And now links:
- A TED talk about how few women leaders there are, and advice for that.
- Math class doodles... to teach math! Um, yes.
- #mooreandme conclusion
- New Zealand based industrial folk
- Videogame without the video: a game based entirely on sound.
And some Yuletide recs, as I've done a little reading:
- A Dance in Iron Shoes (Fairytales, Snow White) So I'm kind of obsessed with reinterpretations of fairytales, Snow White being a favorite to see people rewrite, for reasons I'm not entirely sure why, especially considering her typical pop culture Disney image does nothing for me.
- Honey Pie (Telephone Music Video/Pushing Daisies) Yes, this is a Telephone/Pushing Daisies crossover. It's kind of amazing.
- Some of Jacuzzi Splot's Acquaintances Are More Reluctant To Intrude On A Friendly Outing Than Others (Baccano!) Oh. My. God. So this was my ladyfriend's gift story, and it basically perfectly captures the crazy huge cast of the show, highlighting some of our mutual favorites (Jacuzzi, Nice, Chane, Claire, Isaac, Miria) and just. omg. Yes.
- First, Second, and Third Opinions (Baccano!) A LOVELY Claire/Chane, which was my gift. I love how they integrated some of my other favorite characters. Oh me and my love of semi-romantic psychos.
- Designate: Cindi (Archandroid Album) A lovely Yuletide Madness ficlet for the album that kind of ate my entire brain this year. I love how the write does android emotions.
