No updates...?

Okay, I think the gaming mania has decreased somewhat for the time being... but it's been quite a while since I did any writing, I'll need to warm up again! I'm still putting off Legend of Legaia for a while (just for a while!) so that I can get writing properly again before I get to it. I'm also writing an Azure Dreams novelisation since it's pretty short and will help me get back on my feet, and at the same time I'm sorting through the storyline for Legend of Legaia!

Check back once in a while, hopefully I'll get something up soon. :D

~Signed,
Estrelita Farr, writing again~

Update Note: Updates will (usually) be done on every weekend, except for days I deem special (like my birthday!). However, unannounced delays may occur due to unforeseen circumstances. If I'm not currently updating a story... be patient, one is coming soon. With my single-track mind, however, the question is... how soon?

Shameless Advertisement: My buddy Diana-HND has a DeviantArt page at diana-hnd (dot) deviantart (dot) com! Her comics are great! :D

Current novelisation:

(None at the moment)

Next novelisation:

Legend of Legaia (Game)
Current length: Eight chapters.
Approximate length remaining: One prologue, Seventeen chapters, one epilogue.

Azure Dreams (Game)
Current length: One chapter.
Approximate length remaining: Nine chapters (no prologue / epilogue).

Estrelita Farr is:

1. A uber Dragon lover. So don’t expect a story with purely evil Dragons! Oh, and a cat lover too. xP

2. A female (mostly RPG previously but now random) gamer. A bit rare still, no?

3. A great lover of Wild Arms composer Michiko Naruke’s music! But I like music from other games too. :D Current favourite song: The Bonds from Threads of Fate.

4. A Chinese in Southeast Asia! Surprised?

5. Unfortunately easily distracted. When the PS3 came, there was no writing until I finished Assassin's Creed 2 and Brotherhood at 100%. x_x

6. Used to be an anime fan... but now just an occasional manga reader. Really, anime episodes are now too longwinded, I can at least go at my own pace with manga!

7. Not to be confused with another FF.net author called estrelita. Despite having the same name, we’re not related in any way and we’ve been using this name for some time prior to joining FF.net! (I think, at least I do.)

Estrelita Farr would be writing

...a lot of novelisations. Why novelisations?

Have you ever felt particularly moved when you listen to game soundtracks? Or feel that each game music has a story to tell? For example:

1. Breath of Fire III's Opening Theme brings a foreboding start to a tale.
2. Chrono Trigger's ending theme (To Far Away Times) bring a happy, peaceful sense of closure to a story.
3. Legend of Legaia's Misty Capital brings a sorrowful calm feeling, like the morning after a devastating storm.
4. Suikoden II's Opening Theme brings a tale of devastating war.

Each time I listen to game soundtracks, the images, the feelings from the game will come rushing into me. When that happens, I feel like playing the game again But because I'm the type that plays an RPG mainly for the storyline, I prefer to read the story than to play the game again... particularly because there's a curse cast on me that makes me stop playing each time I reach the final dungeon. @_@

Unfortunately, a lot of my favourite games don't have a complete novelisation. When I feel like going through a game story again, I'd search for a novelisation... only to find it's not completed. Okay, so I'd search for a game script... and find that there's not even one!

So, my writing novelisations is like a tribute to the games, for gamers and non-gamers alike to enjoy the deep storyline that each of the games present. :D

Estrelita Farr's Story Types:

1. Full Novelisation: The entire game's storyline novelised from beginning to the end.

2. One-shot Prequel: A short story that takes place before the game's storyline.
