Author has written 8 stories for Kingdom Hearts. fanfic archive . fanart . deviantART . 117 days 14 March 2011 I am currently offering fic to the highest bidder at help_japan and fandomaid, two lj communities sending aid to Japan to help with relief from the catastrophic earthquake and tsunami. Every $1 gets you 100 words. Casey V., of Boys fame, is also offering fic at help_japan. Don't sleep on this, guys. Find all the info you need at the bidding post: Versace Frolic @ lj. 30 October 2010 HAPPY HALLOWEEN! I posted a mysteriously long oneshot involving Axel and the end of the fucking world, baby. Eat a piece of candy for me, be safe, and have FUN! 4 October Re-up of a story I never posted here, From the Depths. The soundtrack paired with this story, De Profundis: is here. I've been thinking about re-upping 117 Days, just to get it backed up (I never saved any of the stories, so if it manages to get deleted, all those drabbles are toast). Thoughts? 11 September 2010 A Lesser Beauty is now complete. Closing credits: "Your Hand in Mine" by Explosions in the Sky. Thank you, everyone, for reading along for the last two years. 13 August 2010 HAPPY AKUROKU DAY! I meant to post this sucker at midnight but I... fell asleep, heh. I set an alarm to get me up, but I guess I slept through it. ALAS. Anyway, five hours late, this year's 8/13 fic, Cities of the Future, is now available for your viewing pleasure. It's not fantastic, I apologize in advance, but if any of you have no work (like me!) or school today, this will keep you company. Eat, drink, be merry. If any of you live in San Francisco, check out Bi-Rite Creamery's "salted caramel" ice cream. I know there's a recipe on the Internetz that tells you how to go about making sea salt popsicles, but I'd say this is the better (though not blue) alternative. Also, my state's Prop 8 got pwned in case any of you have been following the news. So, ladies and gents, let's give it up for Axel and Roxas: if they decided to get married in California, they'd have convenient salty/sweet ice cream within reach, no gummi ship required. ...At this point, I'd say it probably best if I go back to sleep. But I am excited! I hope other people have pulled out the stops today (I tried, I really did. I hope at least someone liked it), and until I head out to the middle of the desert in celebration, I'm going to prowl the internet for art and fic and music and stuff. If any of you uploaded something for this particular occasion, link me to it! I am super nerdy about holidays and stuff, and if I had an Organization XIII coat, I'd be wearing it right now. I don't even know what I'm saying. HAPPY 8/13, Y'ALL! -V. 17 July 2010 IT'S THAT TIME AGAIN. Chapter 17: "Vices" of A Lesser Beauty is now available for your reading enjoyment. GET HIP TO IT. 22 May 2010 Big project in the works. That's all I'm saying on this at the moment, but trust me: if you're into reading KH fic, you're going to die when you hear what we're planning. I'm still in the middle of this dry spell, and I have about two hours of free time a day, so I can't make any promises on when new stuff will go up. To the random chick that messaged me asking if I'm going to be continuing A Lesser Beauty and didn't have PMs turned on for me to reply: the answer is always going to be that I'm writing this fucking thing even if it kills me. So, only in the event of my death will LB not be completed. That said, I'm not begging for readers or reviews. I'm not going to justify my work or aesthetic, so don't do me any favors if it's a chore for you to read an unfinished fic. Read it if you want. If you don't? Alright, cool. To everyone else still waiting: I love you. 31 March 2010 Dry spell. No inspiration. 14 February 2010 Happy Valentine's Day! New abomination up for your viewing pleasure: Fight Off Your Demons, a V-day Axel/Roxas one-shot for all your lovesick needs. I AM A ONE TRICK PONY. New chapter of LB sooner rather than later, I promise. -V. 24 January 2010 HAY GUESS WHAT: Chapter 16: "Necessity" of A Lesser Beauty is now available. Links for the cover song referenced in the chapter: download / YouTube video . I strongly urge you all to check it out. Only two chapters left in LB. Tell all your friends. -V. 17 January 2010 Whoa, just spammed the hell out of your inboxes with re-uploads of A Lesser Beauty. In case it gets lost in the shuffle: Chapter 15: "Manners" of A Lesser Beauty is now available. Beware: sap sap sappy sap. JUST SAYIN'. MAY YOUR DAYS BE MERRY AND BRIGHT. (Also: aren't those Birth by Sleep spoilers something else? God damn.) -V. 1 January 2010 Alright, fandom. You win. It's going back up, all of it, and then some. ASK AND YOU SHALL RECEIVE. Happy New Year. -V. 24 December 2009 It's officially Christmas Eve here in sunny Southern California, and I guess the only thing I really have to say is please forgive my transgressions against your sensibilities. THE RUMORS ARE TRUE. After deleting every last scrap off fic of the Internet (livejournal, fanfiction.net, and deviantart), I've re-uploaded every last one to a brand new vault of obscenity. Without further ado, my Christmas gift to the entire fandom: Versace Frolic @ lj. At the above you'll find How to Disappear Completely, A Lesser Beauty, Fortunate Son, and everything in between, including but not limited to all the one-shots I had up on dA, brand new one-shots and series that were previously unannounced, and B-sides to the whirlwind of gorgeous that was pouikee's brainchild, 117 Days. All fanart and FSTs were archived and uploaded for viewing and listening at your discretion. I'm currently trying to decide whether or not I want to re-upload A Lesser Beauty here on ffnet. What do you crazy kids think? Yes? No? Does anyone even care about that piece of shit? It will definitely be posted at VF when I get around to cranking the next sucker out, but I feel sorta obligated to all of you that have me listed as a favorite author. Is it worth it? Fourteen straight messages of re-upload spam? Starting from scratch, over-writing, typos, tense changes, and all? All your lovely Favorite Story Alerts and Story Alerts are disappeared into the ether. I think, for those of you on ffnet, it's a convenient way to keep reading without having to switch forums, but it feels very inauthentic to... I'M JUST GOING ON AND ON, AREN'T I. PM me your thoughts. Re-upload or just post to VF? I value your input, guys! Lay it on me! It was a blast while it lasted. 300+ reviews and a hell of a lot of love, but it was time for a change. I love all, all, ALL of you. Happy Holidays to you and yours. -V. | |||||
