I forgot journal memes were a thing for a hot minute. But now I remember! Anyway I would like to overthink about some fictional people so please help me with this. ♥

Give me a character & I will tell you

• How I feel about this character:
  
• All the people I ship romantically with this character:
  
• My non-romantic OTP for this character:
  
• My unpopular opinion about this character:
  
• One thing I wish would happen / had happened with this character in canon:
  
• my OTP:
  
• my cross over ship:
  
• a headcanon fact:
  

Meme provided by journalmemes via extrapenguin.

Obviously PSO2/NGS is my current hyperfixation but I can also wordvomit about characters from the following:

- Original Phantasy Star series (okay, not III. but the others are fine)
- Overwatch
- Most Final Fantasy games up to the FFXIII trilogy
- Persona 3 through 5
- Resident Evil
- Soulcalibur
- Blazblue
- Revolutionary Girl Utena
- Puella Magi Madoka Magica

Also, I've turned on anonymous commenting so friends who don't have an account, or just want to keep a low profile, can join in. If spam or malicious comments become an issue that will change but we'll see how it goes for now.

Saw this meme over on Pillowfort and decided to fill it out. Lately I've been stuck in a rut where I want to write but don't actually DO it; I'm trying to self-motivate by reminding myself that writing is, in fact, a thing i'm capable of.

1) How many works do you have on AO3?
After all these years....16, orz

2) What's your total AO3 word count?
35,018

3) How many fandoms have you written for and what are they?
On AO3? Blazblue, Ninja Gaiden/Dead or Alive, Resonance of Fate, Ghost in the Shell, Left 4 Dead, Persona 4/Q, Soulcalibur, and Star Wars; eight total. There's a lot of drabble-length and microfic floating around livejournal/dreamwidth and old kink memes but i'm too lazy to try rounding them up at this point.


4) What are your top 5 fics by kudos?
Accidental Bliss (Persona Q, P4 Protag/P3 Protag)
these vices are my service (Persona 4, Adachi/Yu)
Merger (Ghost in the Shell, Hacker/Makoto, NON-CON)
Stain Your Hands With My Blood (Soulcalibur, Raphael/Siegfried)
Play the Angel (Blazblue, Tsubaki/Noel)

5) Do you respond to comments, why or why not?
I am horribly inconsistent about replying--honestly, i'm horribly inconsistent about even *reading* comments in the first place, mostly due to anxiety. I've been trying to chip away at this particular habit but there's still like, a 50% chance I will deal with a comment by pretending it doesn't exist.

6) What's the fic you've written with the angstiest ending?
i think all but 3 of my fics are angsty so not sure what to pick....

8) Do you write crossovers? If so what is the craziest one you've written?
no

9) Have you ever received hate on a fic?
no, but i did have one reader complain about a lack of pussy eating in a femslash fic which honestly is a valid complaint.

10) Do you write smut? If so what kind?
yes, the...uh...uncomfortable kind?

11) Have you ever had a fic stolen?
no

12) Have you ever had a fic translated?
no. i did have someone draw a whole comic from one of my first fics (back when fanfiction.net was the only major fic archive) which is....not at all the same, but pretty neat, right?

13) Have you ever co-written a fic before?
no

14) What's your all time favorite ship?
I keep going back to Raphael/Siegfried so i guess this rarepair that pretty much only i write is The One

15) What's a WIP that you want to finish but don't think you ever will?
all of my WIPs are things i no longer want to finish due to lost interest. That's kinda why they're WIPs in the first place (the 2nd place is that most of what i write is microfic one-shots). WHOOPS

16) What are your writing strengths?
I think i'm pretty decent at conveying internal conflicts/mixed emotions and describing tactile sensations.

17) What are your writing weaknesses?
the actual act of sitting down and putting words down orz

18) What are your thoughts on writing dialogue in other languages in a fic?
I think it's difficult to do well, and very easy to fuck up and break immersion, so I avoid it. If the character in question has a habit of using more than one language in their canon dialogue I use that as a guide, but I think adding phrases that a multilingual character *doesn't* use in canon is ahh...not a great idea?

19) What was the first fandom you wrote for?
Skies of Arcadia, back when I was still in high school. I used to ask my friends to read/review it at lunch lol :')

20) What's your favorite fic you've written?
I'm actually pretty happy with how Accidental Bliss turned out. Like, I wish I could write more unabashedly PWP fic lol. I'm usually dissatisfied with my """serious""" fic after writing it.

I put in a bunch of job applications last month, which means this month has been a lot of interviews. I've had two places decline already (oh well) the rest are undecided because it takes like a billion years to get through the hiring process in health care. There are a few other places I'm thinking of applying to, but they're either farther away, basically my old job but with a different agency, or sound a bit too uh...new-age....for my tastes, going by their mission statements. But a job is a job, and if nothing pans out locally I guess I'll have to look elsewhere.

anyway, since I'm basically waiting or calling people back all day, I've had a lot of time to...do nothing, really. Except play games even more because what am i doing with my life.

★ In Downwell I can get to the normal mode boss with some consistency, but I don't know if I'll ever get to a point where I can beat it...I get there with about 6-8 HP, then blow through it really fast because I can't keep track of where I am on-screen ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ I was using the floaty style at first for easier combos but now I use the arm spin for the guaranteed gun modules + the health/ammo upgrades they give. (also i just really love the sprite animation ♥) I might switch to the style that starts with extra health since my boss strategy is to tank most of its stuff @__@

★ I actually did this awhile ago, but mentioned it exactly nowhere: I customized an arcade stick. I'm thinking about painting the chassis with a more fitting color than black, but idk that would probably take more work than I'm willing to do.



I'm getting used to it by playing DoDonPachi Resurrection. My runs have been better overall so far, but I have trouble doing very slight movements with the stick. I'm still using the stock joystick, and I don't know if I should change it out...I'm not sure what the best choice would be for this particular problem. I don't think it's a matter of just switching from a square to an octagonal gate, since I don't have any issue with diagonal movements. Switching to something with high-tension sounds like it might help but I don't know for sure. I wish I knew where to ask around for help with these things. x_x

I have a lot of mixed feelings about Type-Moon's writing, but I like Tsukihime a lot.

...not providing any sort of context is proving harder than i thought. it's like, you want to say why this moment and this game is impactful to you, but that's against the rules. :P

Wildly waving my cursor over my mutual subs list landed on jack_of_none, if you would like to do this. :>

Because my mind goes blank every time I open up "new post," here is a ~thing:

Put "top 5" anything in the comments and I will answer ok go

Meme provided by journalmemes.

ganked this from hamimi_fk:

I know very little about some of the people on my friends list. Some people I know relatively well. But here’s a thought: why not take this opportunity to tell me a little something about yourself. Any old thing at all. Just so the next time I see your name I can say: “Ah, there’s Parker… she likes money and cereal.” I’d love it if everyone who’s friended me did this. (Yes, even you people who I know really well.) Then post this in your own journal. In return, ask me anything you’d like to know about me and I’ll give you an answer.

:)

grabbed from hamimi_fk, also tumblr at large:

Give me a pairing/fandom and pick a trope from this list, and I'll write a drabble based on that combination.

1. genderswap
2. bodyswap
3. drunk!fic
4. huddling for warmth
5. pretending to be married
6. secretly a virgin
7. amnesia
8. cross-dressing
9. forced to share a bed
10. truth or dare
11. historical AU
12. accidental-baby-acquisition
13. apocalypse fic
14. telepathy
15. High School / College AU

Obligatory 'fandoms I'll write for': Azumanga Daioh, Blazblue, Dead or Alive, FF4/6/7/8/9/10/13, Ghost in the Shell, Left 4 Dead, Puella Magi Madoka Magica, Resident Evil, Resonance of Fate, Skies of Arcadia, Soulcalibur, Skullgirls, Avengers (MCU)

Also, probably going to write waaaaaaay more than a drabble for whatever you ask because concise is not a word in my vocabulary.

I have been absolutely terrible when it comes to writing fandom things lately, especially kinky/porny things. Flist, if you would be so kind to help me out?

Leave a comment with a character/pairing/moresome, and a kink, and I will write up to 100 words** for that prompt.

( Fandoms I can write for )

Thanks~

I am stuck at home with a really bad cold & fever, too much Nyquil, chicken soup from my brother and my super-bored dog Momo. Not exactly the way I thought I'd ring in the New Year. (there was going to be a lot more booze, but now there is ZERO booze. oh well.)

Have an end-of-the year meme to celebrate...things!

July
I was going to post about my visit to the Harvard Natural History museum with my sister, but when I got home I ended up taking one of those naps you don't mean to take, and when I got up I did that "check every stupid social media site you have signed up for, like a lemming" thing.
