Hey,

To get right to the point, I doubt I'll be writing fanfic for a while. I'm leaving my fics up here for the time being because, although I'm not too keen on my ol' writing, my fics aren't the heartfelt variety, so they don't make me cringe as much as the original, NEVER TO BE SEEN IN PUBLIC nonsense on my old XP harddrive, and I appreciate that other people may like 'em a lot better than I do. So they're up here for other people to peruse, enjoy, despise, whatever, which I reckon is the whole point of fanfic. On the other hand, it's reached a stage where I COMPLETELY WANT TO REWORK EVERYTHING ROAR, but I don't have the time or the inclination to do it, and I think it would be pretty disingenuous of me to pretend that I'm going to put up new chapters 'soon'. If I start writing fics again, I think I'll either take the stuff down from here first, or I'll use a different pseudonym; both approaches have their merits and flaws. (I don't think it's fair to leave never-to-be-finished multichapter fics up unless I put a great big 'THIS ACCOUNT IS A WHISPERING HUSK OF ITS FORMER SELF' on the profile page, but then that's problematic if I choose to write new fics :P). I could do a list of the fics which will never be updated, but from what I've seen on my travels to others' accounts, such lists frequently get ignored... SO HMMM.

So there you have it. I'm contemplating possible solutions to what I perceive as the greatest dilemma of the age, and I hope to discover a good one, but knowing me, it'll take a while.

Tschüss! :)


1. Liar! » reviews
Yuffie's been kidnapped by the Shinra company, and she's not too keen on her company. Scheming afoot. Secret Santa giftfic for the wonderful Pen Against Sword; slightly edited compared the the version that went up on the Genesis Awards forums.

3. 7 Days AKA Untitled Secret Santa Fic reviews
The Highwind is not the most conducive environment for great writing, so it's fortunate that our friend is probably just dreaming his tale. Vicious sarcasm, irony and dark humour ahoy, along with misunderstandings aplenty and an overuse of adverbs.

6. Rubbish? Rubbish! » reviews
It's here. The fic I have wanted to write for years. I can't promise that it'll be any good, but I hope it gets a couple of laughs... If you've read the books, you'll know what this is about, so away we go!

Pennyroyal once applied to be a member of London's Historians' Guild. Pennyroyal was turned down. Hence this drabble. Hopefully dry.

My first Vincent and Lucrecia! Retells the events leading up to Sephiroth's birth- yeah, I'm original. COMPLETELY IGNORES DIRGE OF CERBERUS, for reasons outlined in the Author's Note... I'm planning to completely rewrite this, as I'm not happy with it.

12. Reeve's Epic Quest » reviews
Zara's usual crackfic fare. Concerns Reeve and a whole bunch of people out to get him. Set in the original game timeline, as always. Again, rather cracky...

Slightly better than the title would suggest- hopefully . The surreal fic I wrote for a joke on a caffeine high between 2am and volves Reno, Tifa and a few other familiar faces.

15. Valentines reviews
Thaddeus V and Pandora R a few years before Hester's birth. Just my musings on their relationship dynamics, really. FF7 crossoverness, but only if you squint.

17. Vincent and Aeris have an unusual Conversation reviews
And THIS is why you shouldn't let me anywhere near a keyboard when I get the urge to do something strange. They don't have the genre option 'dark humor', but that's what this is, of course. :P The title says exactly what's going on, so that's it from me!
