Was up 'til five working on my Cid/Vin fic - it's rather unnerving to see that I'm writing it. But I like it so far, so we'll see how it turns out. I think it's going to turn out to be rather long, but given that one of the biggest problems with most fics I read is that they're too damn short to work, that only makes sense.
Have hauled all my clothing out of my room. Am beginning the slow, tedious process of sorting: what goes, what stays with Brandie, what goes into the trash. You can't really see the living room couch anymore, it's rather amusing.
Want to work on fic. Must pack.

There is little worse than an empty room.

Date: 2004-04-30 12:47 pm (UTC)dude, I'm evil but I'm not that evil. There's no way in hell I'd make her pack for me. I'll have you know I've about 1/3 done now. So there!

Date: 2004-04-30 01:21 pm (UTC)It's hard to feel bad when everyone seems so excited. I can't wait! Just a couple more days! I'm paranoid it won't go well, even though I know it probably will. Nargh, I'm just stalling on packing.
See you soon!

Date: 2004-04-30 01:22 pm (UTC)I'm with you, that most of the Cid/Vin fics out there don't work well. My personal beef with most of them is the weepy!uke!Vincent, the oh!woe!is!me!Vincent that seems to have propagated in fandom. And I did the same thing that you did with a lot of my pairings: I wrote them because I knew that the pairing, when written right, could really work well....

Date: 2004-04-30 01:58 pm (UTC)Heh, speak of the devil. You would be the only one beyond the doujin I have that is on my approve list. Which is unsurprising. We'll see if I can hold my own.

Date: 2004-04-30 04:26 pm (UTC)Everyone looks back at their stories and goes "Hmm, that could used fixed." I don't think we'd be writers if we didn't. But I do enjoy your story, luckily I'm shooting for something different or I'd feel there was no need to write.
And I'm glad I'm not the only one that writes b/c there's a lack of good stories around - my sister keeps laughing at me.

Date: 2004-05-01 09:32 am (UTC)I'm glad you like it. :) And I know what you mean about sometimes feeling no need to write a story that's already done it so well. There's a few FFX stories dealing with Auron and Braska that I would write, but they've already been written so well by someone else that I wouldn't even attempt it.
And I'm glad I'm not the only one that writes b/c there's a lack of good stories around - my sister keeps laughing at me.
:laughs: No, you're definitely not the only one. I write just because I feel that the characters deserve better than some of the schlock out there....

Packing? Oh, yes, packing! I do wish you the best of luck. Do you think you'll find some hidden treasures? I know I always find things that I didn't know I actually owned. =)

Though I still thank your icon rocks - him saying "rata TA TA" will never be unfunny.
And yes, I'm finding quite a bit that I didn't know I had.

Ain't it the truth though, ain't it the truth. (If I could, I would have an animated icon for the whole homo no jutsu and wait! I haven't shown you harem no homo no jutsu!)
So, how goeth the treasure hunt?
