**amused.**




It's been a frustrating time the last week and a half, with the modem going bonkers. It kept freezing up and preventing online access from continuing for very long. And it got increasingly worse, until I could barely stay connected for more than an hour if I was lucky. Dad bought a new modem yesterday, and at first it wasn't working, either. But after calling the phone company for help, it seems to be up and running. ^^ It was a relief to not have to be on hold forever, and to talk to someone who knew what was going on.

I finished Triplicate. X3 That was a very bittersweet feeling. I really loved writing that one, and I didn't want to leave the adventure. But I think now I'm ready to tackle the ski resort fic. It will be Angeal's first business trip with Jenova Corp, so that will be fun. And of course there'll be the scene where Seph has to ski away to escape the business rivals who tried to hold him captive. LOL.

I also couldn't resist any longer, and I had to write that oneshot of Genesis and some of his feelings over what happened in chapter 9 of Crisis Core. After finding out just how complex he really is, it all came together. I'm still mad at him for what he did in chapter 9, yet I think I understand at least somewhat why he may have done it.

I dug up the hotel fic of Dartz and Alexander yesterday. I think I posted the original scene in here, a long time ago? I have about three other scenes now, that I wrote off and on, making enough for a first chapter. I can't entirely remember what was happening in the original dream that inspired it, but some things are coming back. And there's such a sense of nostalgia with that fic. I remember how much I wanted to share my dream because I loved it so much. I'm still debating posting the first chapter, though, because I know it isn't likely to be updated too much, and then people will throw things at me. But I'm curious to know if it generates any interest at all.

I got some more written in the KH wing prejudice fic, too, which is good. X3 I'm wondering if I should divide it into chapters. I don't know how long it will be, but if it's left as a oneshot, it will be loooong.

I need to do something more with my claim at [livejournal.com profile] 100_chances too. And [livejournal.com profile] 30_gens. X3 I have a couple ideas bouncing around for each.

Arg, modem/internet connectivity problems are definitely a pain. I know my sister recently got a laptop, and her wireless card wouldn't pick up the signal for more than a few minutes. I think she ended up taking it back and trading it for a different computer. XD;

^^ I'm glad you're still writing. I'll have to check out your fanfiction.net page again, soon.

LOL @ the Scrooge quiz.

Yeah, I've heard that wireless connections are a pain sometimes. I wouldn't want one, in case someone outside the home could pick up our signals.

I think I'd go nuts if I couldn't tell stories. ^^ I usually try to update with something every week. And then sometimes I get on a real roll and I still can update multi-chapter fics every day. XD **remembers doing that for some of the YGO mysteries.** Though they were never as detailed as some of my recent stuff. ^^;

I did write a Seto/Téa type fic recently, and I have them as a claim at 100_chances. ^^ I need to write the follow-up to that first fic....

XD My sister is actually using our neighbor's signal right now because our signal is out. LOL They really aren't very secure. ._.

^^ Yeah, I know what you mean. I haven't been actively writing a lot lately due to school/work and stuff, but I've been coming up with ideas for future writing ventures.

Yeah, I agree that my style has become more detailed as it goes along, too, and I definitely notice your more recent blurbs/fics have a lot more detail. I guess that means we're both growing as writers!

Ooh, a new Seto/Tea fic? :) Must read...

[identity profile] insaneladybug.livejournal.com 2007-11-28 06:22 am (UTC)(link)
LOL. Does your neighbor know?

**nodnod.** Being able to put more detail into things is a very good thing! ^^

**gets review.** I'm glad you enjoyed it, even though it is sad! ^^ I wasn't sure how you'd feel about it. The follow-up, however, will be a lot happier.

Haha, probably not. For being a Software Information Systems major, I really don't know all the logistics of wireless internet connections, but I do know it's not uncommon to be near enough to a neighbor's connection to be able to access it.

^^ Yeah, I really liked the "The Dance" story, even though it was sad. (It actually inspired me to do something with an idea I got from a dream a while back.) I am definitely looking forward to the follow-up story. :)

Glad I could help inspire you to work with your dream idea! Some of my most favorite fics I've written started as dreams.
