Favourite The Last Remnant fic + art sites:

http://community.livejournal.com/word_games/ This is actually Yuki_Scorpio's own fic community

http://decyphered.dreamwidth.org/tag/fandom+last+remnant This is Decyphered's personal fics site on dreamwidth, be warned, she is an avid slasher, and some of her material is only suitable for mature audiences.

http://ciceqi.dreamwidth.org/ This is Ciceqi's personal dreamwidth account, with many fabulous TLR fics, but right now her account isn't being updated and her fic site, Blood Love and Rhetoric is under construction. When it is back up, one of her best fics is called Home, and it is the best Rush returns fic I have ever read, period.

http://wredwrat.livejournal.com/tag/the%20last%20remnant This livejournal account holder has done some excellent TLR fanart, her work is first rate and really touching in some cases. Warning for the little kiddies on this site, mature language, and she likes slashing the boys. ^_^

http://amei.livejournal.com/ You can't really add wredwrat without mentioning Amei, so here is wredwrat's partner in crime when it comes to TLR fanart. More good stuff, though you'll need to look for it. Mature language and slash warning.

I can teach you how to bottle fame, brew glory, even stopper death -- if you aren't as big a bunch of dunderheads as I usually have to teach." - Potion Master Severus Snape, Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone (Philosopher, not Sorcerer, got it!

YOU KNOW YOU'RE AN AUTHOR IF...

You talk to yourself a lot. (Yup, that's me!)

You talk to yourself about talking to yourself. (e.g. 'Why do I constantly ask my self random things?')

In a boring meeting you find yourself constructing a scene with your current or favourite characters, imagining how they would act or behave in a situation similar to this, and become so immersed in your imaginings that you itch for pen and paper or a laptop, and totally miss the rest of the the conversation.

When you talk to yourself, you often talk to yourself like you're talking to someone else. (e.g. 'Have you ever noticed that deliver could mean someone's liver?')

You live off of sugar and caffine (the two greatest things ever discovered!)

You'll check your e-mail every day of the week for exactly a week, and then disappear off the face of the earth for the next three months.

You're e-mails tend to ramble a lot and be incredibly random.

When replying to an e-mail, you'll never actually address the point of it.

You become mesmerised anything highly polished and shiny or sparkly. (Ooh...)

No matter where you are in a room you never have to get up to find a pen/pencil and paper. (I tend to carry around a pocket notebook and mini pen... T_T')

The letters on your keyboard are wearing off. (Are they ever! I actually replaced my entire keyboard just before christmas because of that...)

People think you have A.D.D. (Close but no prize, my particular brand of mental genius is called Aspergers Syndrome.)

You constantly start talking in third person, present or past tense. (Including random moments of wildly exagerated foreign accents, "Leesen verry carefullee, for I vill say zees only vonce." A very big prize if you know where that quote came from, an old tv program your parents might have watched.)

You start thinking about making lists like this and start giggling for no "apparent" reason.

Your friends stopped looking at you funny for your odd bouts of madness a loooooong time ago.

18 Ways To Maintain A Healthy Level Of Insanity

7. Sing "Getting away with murder" by Papa Roach when a police officer is walking past you on the pavement.

OBITUARY FOR THE LATE MR. COMMON SENSE (As published in The London Times

Today we mourn the passing of a beloved old friend, Common Sense, who has been with us for many years. No one knows for sure how old he was, since his birth records were long ago lost in bureaucratic red tape.

He will be remembered as having cultivated such valuable lessons as:

Knowing when to come in out of the rain

Why the early bird gets the worm

Life isn't always fair

Maybe it was my fault.

Common Sense lived by simple, sound financial policies (don't spend more than you can earn) and reliable strategies (adults, not children, are in charge). His health began to deteriorate rapidly when well-intentioned but overbearing regulations were set in place. Reports of a 6 year-old boy charged with sexual harassment for kissing a classmate; teens suspended from school for using mouthwash after lunch; and a teacher fired for reprimanding an unruly student, only worsened his condition.

Common Sense lost ground when parents attacked teachers for doing the job that they themselves had failed to do in disciplining their unruly children. It declined even further when schools were required to get Parental consent to administer Calpol, sun lotion, or a band-aid to a student; but could not inform parents when a student became pregnant and wanted to have an abortion.

Common Sense lost the will to live as the Ten Commandments became contraband; churches became businesses; and criminals received better treatment than their victims.

Common Sense took a beating when you couldn't defend yourself from a burglar in your own home and the burglar could sue you for assault.

Common Sense finally gave up the will to live, after a woman failed to realize that a steaming cup of coffee was hot. She spilled a little in her lap, and was promptly awarded a huge settlement.

Common Sense was preceded in death by his parents, Truth and Trust; his wife, Discretion; his daughter, Responsibility; and his son, Reason.

He is survived by his 3 stepbrothers; I Know My Rights, Someone Else Is To Blame, and I'm A Victim.

Not many attended his funeral because so few realized he was gone.

If you still remember him, pass this on. If not, join the majority and do nothing.

[April 2011 - Update]

I live! Yes dear readers, I haven't dropped off the face of the planet permanently! Broken ribs and a chest infection did not stop me, though they did pretty much kill my chance at getting an HND! T_T (sob)

[November 2011 - Update]

I'm sorry for turning into a very late updater! I have been supremely uninspired these last months, my brain has been bogged down in RL problems (including a very dead computer and lost story scenes) and mind numbing social events. I will try and update UE at least once before the new year, though I'm afraid SotB has just ground to a halt for now. On a better note I know exactly where I'm going with UE, the slowly fleshing out bones of the complete plot amounting to at least 30 chapters, if not more. Please bear with me for now, for I will return in the near future! That's a promise!
