Feedback is appreciated, of course. I'll post three more tomorrow, but after that...I don't know when I'll get to the rest of the 'fics; I swear I'll try to write them sometime in 2010. I'm sorry that I'm so backed up and uninspired lately. I thought I got past it, but I guess I was wrong.

Take care everyone!

I totally ran into [info]kaiousei on the Wyrmrest Accord RP website. :'D I'm amused beyond amused. (Small internet, isn't it?) Her character seems so cute and fun. ;O;

GUYS GUESS WHAT. The Fire Emblem fandom is DEAD.

The fanfiction part has been a little slow lately, but with 10 (or 11) games to write for, don't people realize that it splits the fandom down? I'm not necessarily in the FE1-5 fandom, per se. Not really in the FE6 fandom. Not really in the FE8, FE9 or FE10 fandom... But to say the entire FE fandom is dead is stretching it a little bit. As long as the writers for said fandom are still around, I'd say the fandom's doing pretty good for itself, right? Especially for a video game fandom.

Dead fandom? Have they seen G Gundam or any of the REALLY DEAD fandoms that get less than a story a week? Shut up it's totally possible to get less than one 'fic a week.

Anyway, yes. FE isn't dead. It's just hibernating! Amirite?

DISCUSS?

This icon is pretty much a representation of my brain right now.

Spinny shiny sword. Spin, shine, spin, shine. Etc. Rinse and repeat. Don't take your eyes off of it. You might miss something exciting. Or not.

I saw Shannon today. The guy likes me so much that...I don't know. It's weird for me. I'm not used to anyone liking me that much. [insert confused expression here] But he's such a sweetheart. Sigh. He said that he thinks about me a lot, like "all the time". Isn't that flattering? And he said he almost bought me manga (andandand hearing him try to pronounce "anime" was HILARIOUSLY EPIC), but he got so confused and then didn't know what kind I liked, et cetera. Sighsighsigh.

I have Honda nuts. And I don't mean of the metal variety.

My RP characters on Wyrmrest Accord are developing their own personalities. Someone kick me in the head, please. Or just kick me, period. I'm seeing spinny shiny light on the end of a sword, and I need to do something productive. Like write! Or post some of those 'fics that are finished, but not uploaded/html coded. Why did I decide to post those monstrosities here at LJ, anyway.

NO I WILL NOT WRITE WoW FIC, BRAIN. NO NO NO NO NO. NO.

Christmas was boring as usual.

This evening I went to the zoo to see the lights. It was cold. Nastily cold. And windy. And I'm exhausted.

I wrote my sermon, and will probably post it tomorrow after church at [info]inkedstripes for those who want to read it. With me luck, guys!

Real Life has been hammering me, lately. I guess I'm going back to work for a week after Shutdown, and then other stuff. Who knows? They keep changing their minds! I will update my journal on this again later.

Lately I have not been interested in much around me. TV? Nah. Fic? Nah. Reading? Nah. Writing? Nah. I've only been interested in World of Warcraft and the Wyrmrest Accord server. It's nice to escape reality now and again, I guess.

I am going to Shannon's on Monday morning.

Merry Christmas, guys. Sorry I have not been around lately. I'll try to be on again later or something.

I will tag/reorganize the [info]fe_exchange hopefully soon, and upload a few more of the Christmas 'fics I owe y'all.

All in all, Christmas was boring. As usual. Slept in until 1:30pm, ate lunch, watched stuff on YouTube, and am getting ready to n00b-RP in World of Warcraft on the Wyrmrest Accord server. :|

Have a wonderful day, guys. :]

So apparently, the 10 days they give me for modified work...

INCLUDE CHRISTMAS SHUTDOWN.

So January 4th, instead of going back to work at Honda, I have to go work...somewhere else.

Probably in an office. An Adecco office.

Doing...what? I have no idea. Anything that requires usage of my hands/arms is a no-no. So...I can't do...what. Paperwork. Filing. Typing. Coffee-getting. Answering phones. Very interesting.

Oh, plus I have to go back to working day shift. I'll get an hour lunch? Starbucks is right next door. (I've never been to one before.) I have to take the freeway to work again. (/SOB)

More information about this...splendid development in the life of the Mannadon. )

Speaking of Shannon-- he wants to get together with me, but a lot of things we could do are otherwise ruined by my teeth. Like seeing lights. Nobody has once ever thought that being outside could hurt my teeth.

Never.

Not even my parents have thought of that.

But Shannon did.

I don't think I love him. Not yet. Maybe that will come in time. He's so thoughtful that I can't help but like him. I want to produce little!Shannons. I want to love him.

I'm afraid that my negativity is going to ruin things with him, though. I don't really want to do anything. I like not doing things. It's routine for me. Going out and doing something "fun" is really just more stress on my plate. Eating out is stress. Being in public is stress. There is very little I enjoy doing outside of the home. And lately, with all the stress that's already piled on me, I can't deal with a whole lot more.

Bah. On one hand, I really want us to move forward in our "relationship". On the other, I'm terrified that we will. Qué sera sera?

I HAVE A VRY SRS QUESTION GAIZ.

QUESTION: What can one do when they have tendinitis?

I mean, seriously.

Sit around and do nothing? Because EVERYTHING REQUIRES YOUR ARMS. NO I WILL NOT EAT WITH MY FEET.

Is TV seriously the only option out there. I hate watching TV for long periods of time. It's dull. I'd rather sleep. But one can only sleep for so many hours a day! And falling asleep with tendinitis is a challenge in and of itself! D:<

I'd rather be WoW-ing. I'd rather be GRINDING REP IN WOW. I'd rather be writing. I'd rather be-- hell!-- editing!

I'd rather be, I DUNNO, DRAWING. And I can't even draw!

This really sucks, and just like my stupid teeth, it's not going to go away.

Snap.

Okay, here's the deal. Remember the Christmas Requests? I highly doubt I finish 'em all before Christmas. And I'm not supposed to spend that much time typing anyway. (Stupid tendinitis.)

But if y'all can be patient, I can still write them. It might just take me some time to get around to all of 'em.

Most requests were not actually Christmas-related anyway, but I might be able to get them written over Christmas Shutdown. (Three days until then, by the by!)

I'll begin posting 'fics for people tonight. :D

Also note that I have realized I FAIL HARDCORE at writing Innes. Wow. So when that gets posted, please to be no shooting of the Mannadon, okay? You may, however, pelt me with fried potatoes. (Hot, crispy, greasy, and salty preferred.)

Here be the list of completed things! I'll make a new post later with links as I upload them.

Title // Fandom // For

"Tough Luck" // Fire Emblem 7 // [info]sarajayechan
"Faux Fox" // Fire Emblem 7 // [info]xirysa
"Observations" // Fire Emblem 8 // [info]mark_asphodel
"Slice of the Cake" // Tales of Symphonia // [info]lil_samuu
"Butterscotch" // Ouran High School Host Club // [info]ribbon_scythe
"Golden Bravery" // Tales of Symphonia // [info]ribbon_scythe
"Blessed Quietness" // Fire Emblem 7 // [info]ribbon_scythe
"In the Silence" // Fire Emblem 7 // *
"Elemental Attraction" // Fire Emblem 7 // [info]qieru
"Fate of the Innocent" // Tales of Symphonia // [info]thenicochan
"Breaking Even" // Fire Emblem 7 // [info]thenicochan
"Mausoleum" // Fire Emblem 7 // [info]thenicochan
"Perfect Moment" // Fire Emblem 6/7 // [info]myaru

*This 'fic, In the Silence, was written for [info]qieru's prompt, "Festival", but it's not very festival-esque at all. I'll be posting In the Silence since I did write it (and I like how it turned out A LOT), but I will be writing something new for that particular prompt. Eventually.

Please note that:

1.) Some people received more than one 'fic because they requested several things and I felt inspired to write said things.

2.) I will seriously try to get around to writing all prompts.

3.) The quality is not my best on some of these. With this horrid beautiful tendinitis, it's hard to write quality stories. I do not write well with the stop-start-stop-start method. I do better writing in one long run.

4.) Please leave feedback when I post something you requested. It's just common courtesy.

I know, I know, two Fire Emblem comms made so close together!

Well, [info]starlitlady and I conspired to create a challenge/contest comm, so now the FE fandom can say it has one!

[info]fe_contest!

Go join if you're an FE-'ficcer, and maybe consider taking up the first challenge!

Edit: Plz2b pimping? :D?

1.) New icon stitched by [info]lil_samuu! It's my little CiCi. ♥ She sent me the actual stitching/pin through the mail, which I actually got today. It's on my purse now.

2.) I'm on Modified Work, so I'm pretty much doing nothing. I'm not allowed to work any overtime (including this Saturday), which I'm kind of grateful for. Even though I went to work today and did a little bit of stuff, I hardly used my hands at all (and kept them in braces most of the night). They don't feel too bad at the moment. Sadly, my next appointment with Dr. Everett is the 15th of January, and they can only let temps do modified work for 10 days. So... I'll either have to get a new appointment sooner or miss some work. I don't know.

They basically took my restrictions against air guns and pushing/squeezing/pulling/grasping as, "She can't do anything at all", and Bill Hall told Rick that I couldn't do anything, and "...don't you dare let her get near any of those jobs." I learned how to enter quality checks on the computer, and even the rotation. (Rotation = the processes that people do each quarter. We "rotate" jobs so we don't do the same one all day. Anyway, if you get a 2005 2-door Civic and, say, your brakes fail due to something not being set properly when the car was made, Honda can go back in their records and find out who actually was doing the job that installed the part that failed to work on that particular Civic.)

Now for fun!

Meme time:

MEME1~

Name a fandom, and I will tell you
01. The first character with whom I fell in love.
02. The character I never expected to love as much as I do now.
03. The character I would shag any time.
04. The character I would slap.
05. My three favorite characters.
06. My three favorite pairings.
07. Which character you (and I!) are most like.*
08. The coolest thing about the canon.
09. The lamest thing about the canon.
10. My guiltiest pleasure in this fandom.
11. What story I wish I could read.
12. What story I wish I had written / still want to write.

*Every time I see this question, the "you" throws me off. "You" implies the person who is mentioning the fandom, but some people post who they themselves are most like. So hell, I'll do both. JUST BECAUSE.

MEME2~

Favorite Christmas Carols/Songs:

•What Child Is This?

I'm back from my doctor's appointment.

1.) It's likely tendon-related, probably tendinitis. He mentioned possible CTS, but he seemed fairly doubtful.

2.) I learned how the different tendon groups work with your hand/wrist/forearm/elbow and what movements they help with. I could have it in several places. :|

3.) 400mg ibuprofen, three times a day with food.

4.) Splints/braces while A) sleeping and B) working.

5.) Work restrictions: I can only use air guns (3lb limit) 25% of the time, and I can only do pushing/pulling/et cetera 25% of the time. The doctor mentioned that Honda will go out and time the processes to see how long they actually are using the air gun. You would think it worked like so: I work 8 hours, so 25% of the time = 2 hours, but no. Honda will find out that the guns are actually being held in the hand for 10 minutes/15 minutes/20 minutes a quarter (quarter = 2 hours) and will then say that 25% of the 8 hours requires holding the gun for two full hours. Therefore, with the actual holding of said air gun being only 10/20 minutes, under that restriction, I can technically do jobs where I'm holding a gun all day long. Yeehaw.

6.) Drug screening completed.

7.) Another appointment scheduled for January 15th, 2010.

8.) Request put in for physical therapy: three times a week for four weeks. Do you realize how much sleep I'll have to lose to do this? >:|

One: HAVE A MEME!

If you could make me write any original story, or type of story, what would it be?

For example: I wish you'd write something slashy, plotless, and porny.

(You can't say that now, by the way. :D)

Two: I have my doctor's appointment today. I just hope I can find the place. I'll leave in about 40 minutes. I hardly got any sleep at all, ugh. And my hands are sore, but whatever. Good. I hope they hurt more by the time I get there, just so I can actually be accurate with what I'm telling them. (I hate how every time I go somewhere for a medical problem, by the time I get there, it doesn't hurt anymore.)

In other news, [info]shimizu_hitomi updated her 'fic. *_*/;_; I knew I had a real reason to get up this morning, haha. :D!

And last night as I was getting ready to leave, Shannon approached me (!!) and said he'd be thinking of me this morning. How thoughtful. ♥ I think he thinks I'm really amazing or something for being in so much pain all the time ("...what I really admire about you."), but seriously: what else can I do but just live with it? I mean, sure, I could quit my job, but I have bills to pay, and while some people might be okay with letting bills pile up, I'm not. Most people aren't. It's not like I don't whine about it every now and again. (But by the same token, whining gets one nowhere, too.)
