Hihi, random visitor who happened to stumble across this journal!

I am Azra the Librarian, and I'm a wannabe writer--but I am keeping this journal for one purpose and one purpose only: sporking bad writing. No pseudo-philosophical ramblings, no sharing my personal problems, no emo poetry, and no political blather--just sporking. I might also cross ( Read more... )

So I've been leery about this little vent because an author responding to critics is always tricky ground to cover. So many Suethors lash out at perfectly reasonable criticisms, resorting to wanky tantrums and petty unsubtle Take Thats--so addressing critical reviews can come off as Suethor behavior/looking like you can't take criticism, even if it ( Read more... )

Title: Culture Shock
Fandom: RuneScape
Rating: R
Warnings: Lemon/smut; Mahjarrat/human, earthquakes
Summary: She could never have expected an earthquake to happen where and when it did... and that certainly wasn't the only thing she couldn't have expected. Azzy/WG, lemonade, oneshot

( Never mind the little details, with there being an earthquake, and with someone so lovely by his side... well, there was only one thing to do. )

Part 1 is here

Title: Waiting for the Lord's Return
Fandom: RuneScape
Rating: R
Warnings: Lemon/smut; Mahjarrat/human
Summary: Our dear World Guardian has some catching up to do with a good friend. How they catch up, however, might surprise her... Azzy/WG

Part 2 is here

Title: Waiting for the Lord's Return
Fandom: RuneScape
Rating: R
Warnings: Lemon/smut; Mahjarrat/human
Summary: Our dear World Guardian has some catching up to do with a good friend. How they catch up, however, might surprise her... Azzy/WG

( The newly minted World Guardian stood silently before the restored altar of Zaros... )

Azra: And we're back! When we last left off, Bartz had just finished rescuing a lost chocobo egg after a chance encounter with Gilgamesh, who shouldn't have been there, and was nursing his wounds. Will the egg hatch soon? Will Bartz find out about being poisoned? Will the tense finally become consistent?

Part 1, if you missed it

( In which some unexpected guests show up to help me suffer through an anachronistic hospital scene )

Azra: Hey hey hihi everyone, it’s Azra the Librarian and I am making a splash with my first shot at a sporking! Well, not so much a splash as a ripple. See, I’ve decided to start small, with something light. I’ll be pulling out the big guns later, when I’ve had more experience sporking.

So what’s on the menu today? One word: disappointment.

( In which the author cannot decide between past and present tense... )
