So. This post. This is something I haven't managed to do in a long time - something finished! That isn't drabble-length!

Well, um. Actually it is kind of a long series of strung together drabbles? But it's 3,348 words of a more or less continuous story told in drabbles! ...hush, I am proud of myself. Do not kill the squee, it's an endangered species!

What else to say about this... once upon a time, I was looking at two of my fandoms, namely Kingdom Hearts and Ronin Warriors, and I thought I would love to do a crossover. And I poked about drabbling some, and nothing much came of it, and then I heard this song: Ian van Dahl - Castles in the Sky.

End result: Zexion and Rajura, the respective illusionists of their groups, are students at a very very vaugely Lovecraftian university. And everything is peaches and research that should not be until their old pals start showing up! ..don't ask me. >.>

Other music listened to while finishing this: Legend of Zelda: Twilight's Theme * The Waterboys - Down Through The Dark Streets

Is it Christmas Eve yet? No.

But it feels like it. :D

And what am I doing on this not-Christmas-Eve while I should be getting ready to go to work? trying to bribe Santa Working on that Orgy 13 reincarnation fic that I never finished! \o/

Clearly I have lost my mind. Also clearly I should not have eaten an entire box of reese's pieces, even though they are delicious and crunchy. XD

I could just about scream, though, because I only need one middlish scene and then it will be done. Finished! AUGH.

...I may actually delay starting the game until I have this. I will print out everything I've got (yay new ink cartridge!) and take it to work in the hopes of accomplishing something on my lunch break.

Meanwhile, am about to write a note to go with the presents-money to my sister (living in different states, it is easier to send her the money to get presents with than track them down here and have to pay shipping) and then run around like a madwoman trying to get ready in, ummm... oh twenty minutes? A whole lifetime, surely. >>

Whoa.

Okay, this I did not expect. I? I won a drabble contest. At kh_drabble to be precise. And along with the bouncy pride and surprise comes panic.

Because the winner of one contest? Announces the next. And I gave no thought to this at all because I never expected to win.

omg XD I have to go and look at past challenges, make sure I won't duplicate and omg.

JOY! *dances*

*hopes to be more composed when it comes to the thanks/next challenge post* XD

Well, what can I say? Weekend was something of a bust, though at least I made sure to enjoy a few things.

I was going to have YGO squee, but I forget how I hit Seto's angst like a brick wall, and time slows down and just. meeeep.

So I backed away from it a bit because I don't want to cry before work, there is no time to calm down properly, and found this: kh fanfic rant While the entry itself is not much (at least to me?) several of the comments are made of win. Win, I tell you!

Most especially this: Most Winning Thread Ever

I laughed so hard it hurt, and I promise you, I will be yelling suchlike next time I run into the Organization. homg, yes.

Though I seem to have neglected mentioning it last weekend, I did meet my word count goals. I just seem to have gone to sleep without mentioning, possibly due to suddenly feel depressed and unaccomplished.

Meh.

Goal for this weekend: work on Twilight Town fic, which I am quite enjoying even though it's not coming along very quickly. Because I keep realizing I'm trying to write to fanon, and as much as I enjoy reading it, it involves more suspension of disbelief than I realized. And I find I cannot write certain things, no matter how silly and fun and expected, because just. No. Writing this thing is turning out to be a process of peeling back layers to see what I think about the characters.

So. I'm going to print out the whole Twilight Town series by dedmerath, and see if I can't decide what I feel like their colors should be, since I can picture how they'd act in TT (mostly) but not colors. Annoying!

Also, it is a perfectly valid excuse to play with pens. pennnnssss. :D

And try to work on the fic, while playing Kingdom Hearts II through. Which means a lot of Roxas and Sora standing around in TT so I can have the scenery, although I will eventually try to get through the rest of the game, both to see the bits with the Orgy in, and to get Sora back to TT. :D

... Dude. Roxas: What? Why aren't I moving? What's wrong with my player!
Sora, five seconds later: I'm not moving. ...this is the strangest feeling of dejavu. Ummm, player? Any time now?

Who gets the reference!

So, after reading an incredibly emotional Troopers story which has not been posted yet but eventually will be? Is that a tease or? Blah. Story. Incredible story which will be linked to when it goes up.

...I had a point other than said story when I started this... Ah! Went to sleep all emotional, expecting I would dream about Troopers or something. I really did. What I ended up with was this: ( The video game my subconscious wrote? )
