So, apparently, my icon base making has begun to spill over into, well, everything I watch. I find myself sitting in my chair going, "OOOOOH~!" whenever something shiny happens. So, in an attempt to relieve the pressure, I'm apparently offering more bases. This time, we're going with Criminal Minds. Feel free to borrow, tag, recolor, whatever ( Read more... )

Well, I did it. I spent pretty much all day making icons for SGU. ... I never really thought of myself as this sort of person, but... so much for that. XD

12. In what story did you feel you did the best job of worldbuilding? Any side-notes on it you'd like to share?Easy question, yay! I have two original stories in particular that I did a lot of heavy world-building (OYaaD and my Pirates 'verses), and while I am proud of both, I am well aware that my Pirates verse has a far more in depth explanation ( Read more... )

8. What's your favorite genre to write? To read?
Personally, I love to write romance.  I'm a complete sap, and admittedly, I write romance because I can see it (on screen)/(in print) in places that "normal" people don't.  It's really quite sad, but ah well, right?  When given the chance, I like to curl up with a good action/adventure novel instead, ( Read more... )

 So, someone left a pregnant cat in labor in our yard this morning.  How charming.  I'll update with some more info after she's had her babies.  Maybe pictures, if she's feeling agreeable.

Besides that, I've been discussing FFVIII canon with some of the lovely folk from

2. How many characters do you have? Do you prefer males or females?

Oh man, I write too many characters to count.  Even in my original stuff, I have a list of at least fourteen, seven of which are fully fleshed out people to me, and the rest are like good friends, even if they only have a minor part.

As for which I prefer writing... men.  Easily.  I ( Read more... )

1. Tell us about your favorite writing project/universe that you've worked with and why.

Well, in fanfiction, that would probably be a toss up between Final Fantasy VIII's universe and Star Ocean: The Second Story's universe. I love FF8 because of it's heavy focus on "modern" life with miscellaneous quirks (such as no live TV; everything is ( Read more... )
