Today I wrote a sex scene that I know my mom is eventually going to read >.>


And maybe my dad <.<


And possibly my brother O.O


This is an issue I haven't encountered writing fanfiction. =3=


150,000 words and counting :D

Ok Obama, you're getting all my money.

Do something nice with it plz

;_;

So over the summer TK and I both designed and pieced together new quilts for our new house! Our mom did the quilting with her long arm machine and then I helped finish hand sewing the binding on mine. IT IS DONE!!!

( And I have pictures! )

Happy Birthday silverwind9!!! Have some porn!!

Gyakuten Saiban / Ace Attorney, its characters and settings, belong to Capcom, and are being used here without permission or profit. Rated NC-17 for sexual content, abuse of the question mark, and Phoenix totally being on acid, seriously. I SAID I WOULD DO IT I DIDN'T SAY IT WOULD MAKE SENSE HAPPY BIRTHDAY!

Also, not at all related to the RP, I mean really. NO REALLY.

I've been doing a lot of original writing lately, so I thought I might as well post a little progress report, just to show I'm keeping up with it as much as I said I would...!

As of this afternoon, I've written 17 chapters of my yet-untitled original novel, with an average of 5,000 words per chapter, for a total of 85,000. Judging by where I am in my timeline (some ways short of the half way point) I'm estimating that it's going to end up in the range of 200,000 words, which Google tells me is longer than it has any business being as genre-fiction from a first time author. About 80k longer, which is...how much I've written already...?

Guess I'll need a good editor 8T

It seems a little weird to me, because according to FF.net my NaruMitsu fic One of Every Color was 80,000 words, which counts as a novel, but as a fic I never felt it was a fully developed story (since it depends on previous canon rather than being self contained). Even longer than that was my Guilty Gear fic Culmination at 105k. Remembering those and thinking that my original is going to be twice their size feels natural to me, because those fics would have to be even longer to accomodate their canon. But I guess as a stand alone novel 200k is beefier than it ought to be. I'm not going to worry about that until it's done though.

In any case, I've been enjoying working on it. Sometimes I worry that not enough is going on, because they haven't gotten to any intense samurai warfare quite yet. Right now character development and promises of mysteries to come are what's propelling it forward. Which is pretty much the same for Well Frogs, and I'm still getting nice reviews for that, so I guess I just have to trust that I'm not boring XD;;

Speaking of WF, I haven't given up on that. They're right in the middle of court! Since I finished 3 chapters of my original just this week and feel really good about the progress I've made, I'm going to give my fic some lovin' this weekend.

I DEFEATED YIAZMAT!!!

We were all level 79 and it took 32 stages, but I beat him at last...! I can't say for sure how long I spent fighting him, but when I booted up my save file for the first time in over a year I was at 180 hours, and I ended at 192. That includes the time I spent leaving Ridorana to replenish my items and hunting around Nabudis for the ether-seller, and even a trip to the Henne Mines, so not all of those twelve hours were spent in battle, but damn. This is where I hear my brother's voice saying "Sarah, you gotta get out more."

Which is a CSI quote, and that's why he's calling me Sarah and not by my actual name.

( Some more details for those FFXII-familiar )

Now that I'm a member of the Order of Ambrosia it's time to start all over again! Yayyyyyy!!!

The holidays have been over for a whilen now but it only just occured to me that I haven't posted anything about them. So here's the skinny:

Christmas was fun! Spent it with family, got some great gifts, including a snap-on keyboard for my PS3 controller, Disgaea for DS (yes this will be my first time playing it, please leave you "HEATHEN" comments below), Disney's Robin Hood on DVD (oh, my childhood!) and a new toilet for the upstairs bathroom!

After that my brother stayed over at the new house with TK and I for a while, and then we went with our parnets sto Califorina for my cousin's wedding. She looked amazing and it was a wonderful ceremony/reception. Not my first time in San Francisco, but the last time I was there it was for Yaoi Con (DON'T JUDGE ME) so I didn't exactly see much of the city. This time, we did a lot of touristy sight-seeing including cable cars and Ghiradelli chocoloate and such.

Now I'm back home and waiting for my new work schedule~

Up until last night I was also working on beating Final Fantasy Tactics Advance 2, on loan from my brother. And you must know what that means...!

( SQUARE RANT!! )

Now that I've finished FFTA2 I really want to go back and replay FFXII, but I still haven't decided yet if I should finish off my old file by beating Yiazmat first. Seems like a shame not to, with that file so close to 100%... I know if I replay, I'm not going to put the same amount of obsessive mark-hunting effort into it again when I know I've already done it (I am especially not fighting Omega again!! 8U) Maybe I'll do some warm up fighting and then Yiazmat and then start a story file over...

Okay the place is still a mess, but here are the pictures I promised! Welcome to Croik's pic-tour :D

( lotsa graphicses )

Thanks everyone for your support and well wishes through our long house hunt :D

For any Ace Attorney fans lurking on my Flist but not yet a member, gyakusai_rp has had a lot of drops lately and is really eager for new players. We're going into a long-running Global Studios themed event that will end in a murder mystery, with as many characters as possible being involved. So if you've ever had interest in the RP or have never heard of it but still want to be part of our push through to Kenji, come over and Check it out!.

In other news, I painted my bedroom at the new house today 8D~~~ Will have before and after pictures soon!

HOUSE GET!!!

Today I sat back and watched as my sister finished the closing for her first house!! (Which I will be living in too 8D). For those keeping score, this was the fifth house we've put an offer on since April, and finally we've hit paydirt! It's an adorable little house in a nice neighborhood that backs up to a nature preserve. :D

This weekend were going to do some cleaning and maybe some painting, and if everything goes well, we'll be completely moved in within the next two weeks! VERY EXCITING DESU~~

So if you don't see me around as much, or if I disappear completely for a day or two, it's becuase I'm packing and/or getting internet changed over.

Wish us luck :D~~~~
