SQUEE!

Another Simple Mission is finished! I had chapter eight's first draft done on Saturday morning, but I tweaked stuff and made it flow better in the evening, then posted it. Then I worked on the epilogue. It opens with Seph giving a report of what happened, and it was fun using his narrative voice. I added stuff to the report several times, as well as additional conversations between him and Zack following it. I am finally satisfied. X3 And after fixing an oddity with the computer downstairs listing a different printer as the default (which probably happened when Dad was printing some pictures), I got it printed. 112 pages in WordPerfect, though it showed up as 117 up here on this copy of WordPerfect. (And yes, same version in both places.) **blink.**

Once I gather my thoughts, I want to work on Raise Your Hands to Heaven. But I also hope to work on some KH stuff again now. It's about time I finished chapter 10 of Room of Angel. It's hard, though, because it looks about half-finished and each chapter features a different narrative voice. And most of what I want to have happen next can only work with Seph narrating, but it's Cloud's turn. XD; Maybe 10 will just have to be a short chapter.

Got tagged by Lizzie for this some time ago. Haven't done it before both because of ASM, and because I have a hard time deciding what to put on these kinds of memes.

1. List seven habits/quirks/facts about yourself.
2. Tag seven people to do the same.
3. Do not tag the person who tagged you or say that you tag whoever wants to do it.

1. I cannot concentrate on writing original fiction. XD; It's not something I'm proud of, because I really want to get this doppelganger fic done. But I can only write original fiction in spurts every now and then. Fanfiction is my writing paradise.

2. I am obsessed with nothing being alone. Seriously obsessed. I took a Tic-Tac from the new box of Tic-Tacs because there were two in the old box and I only wanted one. And I've been like that since I was four or maybe even younger. Even though I know logically that an inanimate object is not going to feel bad that it's alone. It won't feel anything.

3. I must have at least ten books around here that I've started and haven't finished. Maybe even fifteen or twenty. And then the ones sitting around that I haven't read at all yet ... oh dear. And instead of reading them, I re-read older ones, like LOTR!

4. I like to re-read my fanfictions ... a lot. XD Shameless narcissism, maybe, but hey, I write what I like to read, and hardly anyone else writes it, soo....

5. I have started making time again to play my Sonic 3 and Knuckles computer game. I love it so much. And one day I will collect all 7 emeralds and go Super Sonic! Sonic 3 and Knuckles is better than Sonic 3 or Sonic & Knuckles, because it combines both games into one, and it lets you play as Knuckles on the Sonic 3 levels. X3 Though I prefer playing as Sonic & Tails, or just Tails, because of the interaction with Knuckles that you can only get if you don't play Knuckles.

6. I rarely watch TV. When I do, I think the only thing I watch that actually is airing on TV is Winx Club. Sometimes the news, occasionally a movie. (I saw Kiss Me, Kate the other week, on the PBS channel. Wasn't too impressed, other than Kathryn Grayson's singing.) Otherwise, I watch DVDs/videos. And that doesn't happen a whole lot, either.

7. I carry an old YGO notebook around with me everywhere, in my giant black purse. But I only use its pages for writing blurbs. For actual story scenes, I buy lined paper at Wal-Mart and keep stacks of it in the notebook. I've had the notebook since 2003, possibly even 2002, so it's pretty ratty by now. I have another just like it that was a present, and it's brand new and never been used. **will probably keep it that way, as memorabilia.**

I tag amanechan, cskazaam, garowyn, mein_requiem, sn1987a, randomaicoholic, and da_spida

Oh, I was tagged for this meme?O_o
(blushes)
Well, it's the kind of offer that I could not refused(Besides, who will refuse an occasion to talk about himself?XD).
So, sooner or later, I will made my own entry for this meme. ^__^
That said.

1)Same for me. It bothered me in the beguining but now, I don't care anymore. I don't believe that fanfiction are inferior in nature to original work, so why bothers if my creativity feels pretty comfortable in the limits of fanfiction?
We should only wrote what we love to write.

3)I plaid guilt for that too.^^;
(sigh)
If books/stories(it implies my own stories) were women, monogamy is not for me... ^__^; XD

4)I'm not the only one to do that?And I feeled like a dirty narcissist...XD
That said, WORD to you way to explain it.
If stories writen by us didn't match with our tastes and expectation as a reader, it means somethings is wrong.XD
And it's so hard to find stories which match perfectly with our tastes when we're not writing them.

5)I prefer Sonic 3 and Knuckles because it allowed me to save what I've done instead of restarting the whole game each time.XD
And since I wanted to have ALL the emeralds with each character, I would have never done it without that.
(And Sonic&Knuckles=7 emeralds, Sonic 3&Knuckles=14 emeralds!*__*)
(Yes, I'm talking about the old version on Megadrive)
That said, playing Sonic 3 level with Knuckles was not a guilty pleasure of mine.
(My guilty pleasure was to play Hidden palace zone again and again to fight with Knuckles(for once that you're not fighting with Robotnik or one of his robot) and re-live the moment where Knuckles finally understood where is the good side of the force.)

6)I never watch tv, except to watch movie with my dvd player...And it's very rare for now(The last time was for watching Sympathy for Lady vengance).
I spent more time on Dailymotion to watch anime.XD

7)I never write on notebook, I prefer to write stories directly on the computer and I couldn't use outlines(I try once and it didn't work, the story had break the outlines's limits).
I wrote on notebook before, but I don't know if I had keep them.^^;

I love Hidden Palace zone. X3 I remember trying again and again to get through the lava level, and being determined to do so because I wanted Hidden Palace.

I only write in the notebook when I'm out of the house/am away from the computer in the house. XD I prefer going directly to the computer as well. Whenever I write in a notebook, I end up adding more when I start typing it into the computer.
