Whew.

After working feverishly since Monday evening, I have finished the poison fic! X3 I wrote a huge chunk then, and into Tuesday morning, and then the rest Tuesday evening into Wednesday morning. Wednesday evening was the touchup work and final proofread.

Proofreading something very long can often be stressful, and then the whole computer's been running slow today, which doesn't help. XD; But I'm very pleased it's done and up!

Next thing I should tackle is the Lucrecia fic. And you know, I was thinking about it today and I realized that my hatred of the character largely stems from one line of hers. I hate her whining in Dirge of Cerberus and how she just gives up and tries to kill herself when she realizes something's gone wrong, and then seals herself away instead of trying to fix the problems she's caused, but ugh, that line! When Vincent asked if she really wanted to have Jenova cells injected into her baby, she screamed, "Is it what I want?! If it only concerns myself, then yes, that's what I want!" It just sounded so selfish. I mean, one could argue that maybe she thought it would actually be a good thing for her child, but to say something like that, to me, nullifies such a possibility. Maybe she didn't really mean it, and maybe she was just mad because she thought Vincent was meddling, I dunno. But it made it sound like she was only interested in experimenting on her son, no matter what would happen to him. "Only concerns myself" is ignoring that it concerns her son, too.

At least she did realize that having him with Hojo was not a good thing, or she seemed to, when she went to him demanding to be able to see her baby. But her burst of intensity ended there. **wants to use the fic to explore What if it didn't end there.**

1wngdngl suggested a very interesting idea for my fic: maybe she actually does manage to escape with Seph for a time, maybe a few months, instead of being killed as soon as she tries to get away with him. I like it. X3 And I could still have my original idea of her running through a woodsy area trying to escape.

I took an interesting quiz of Stacey's, was unsure what to put on some of the queries, and got Purple. Then I went back, and changed some of the unsure answers, and got Yellow. Not sure which suits me best. XD; I'm not sensual, but I'm also not liberal. I kinda lean towards the Yellow, though. I don't like being branded with the element of Earth. Water and Air are my elements. X3 I'm rather afraid of Fire (probably because I can't stand heat/being burned), and Earth sounds so limiting. XD

Wow. You seem to work really hard for your fics. :D

I got the yellow result, too.

[insaneladybug.livejournal.com]

Indeed. XD Though usually they don't come together so quickly. Sometimes the plunnies just ram into me and insist that I write them.

Ugh, yeah, I hate that Lucrecia's so. darn. whiny. XD I know, it is such a weird line she has in DoC. It seems almost...non sequitur-ish, IMO. See, Lucrecia strikes me as the type to be like, "Oh, there's nothing you can do to help me!" and then after the fact be all "Why didn't you help me!?" Or maybe that's because that's the one kind of person I really just can't stand to be around. Deal with your stuff on your OWN, kthnx.

...And she's really spineless! Whyyyy is Vincent so hung up on her!? I mean, Cloud hung up on Aerith, that's more understandable since, y'know, Aerith is awesome. :P Get a better taste in women, Vincent kthnx. [/ranting XD]

Haha, I got yellow too. I dunno what it is I put but on these kinds of quizzes I always seem to get results like "You are really cheerful and optimistic!" and I'm like, "Uh, not really?" XD

**nodnod.** Vincent must just be blind when it comes to women. XD;

The whole thing about his father was so weird, too! So Vincent finds out Lucrecia knew the guy, and she won't even give him an explanation about the elder Valentine's death and decides to marry Hojo instead. The Ultimania said that they were married, whereas the game didn't seem to say one way or the other. XD

XD Indeed. I'm actually somewhat a pessimist. I lean towards the KH Seph's views sometimes. I'm usually kinda in the middle with the pessimist/optimist POVs, and yet in thinking/speaking, I sound more pessimistic.

Careful you don't wear yourself out :(

I think, when Lucretia said that the experiment only concerned herself, she meant she didn't want Vincent to get involved. I think it was mostly Hojo's idea, but she might not have wanted Vincent to confront Hojo because then Vincent might get hurt.

You know, I haven't heard anything about that poison fic for awhile, so I forget what it's about *goes off to read*

[insaneladybug.livejournal.com]

XD Sometimes I do, but right now I'm still raring to go. **Must write!**

Yeah, I'm sure it was Hojo's idea. But I wonder if she ever protested it. And that vision she had should have been a big warning to her.

At least she did something right, when she worked to save Vincent's life after Hojo shot him. XD; I do think she did truly care about him and didn't want him to get involved for fear he might get hurt.

[wngdngl.livejournal.com]

Somehow I doubt she would understand what that vision meant. All she would see is a stranger and a fire burning.

When you do write that fic, it'd be interesting to see how her occupation as a scientist and her relationship to her own parents play into how she raises her child.

I sometimes get tired of proofreading my stuff. I can't imagine how hard it must be, considering your chapters are really long. Hang in there, I guess? Argh, I need to read you stuff. Sorry, I promise I'll get around to reading x_X;

I'll avoid commenting on Lucrecia because I never finished DoC O_o;; My brother took over Slot 1 and I could never load my file again ;.; (that, and the Japanese controls are really difficult to use. It's HARD.)

Anyway, that quiz looks really interesting. As for the results, well, Purple represents creativity and Yellow represents intellect, ya'? I think those suit you pretty well~ :D I think I'll try it too~ XD

[insaneladybug.livejournal.com]

Yeah, some are longer than others. XD When it's a oneshot that's over 10,000 words, that's when it really gets tedious. ^^ But oh well, it can be fun too, like when I think of the perfect addition to a scene.

Yay creativity and intellect! XD
