Day 3

In your own space, share a favorite piece of original canon (a TV episode, a song, a favorite interview, a book, a scene from a movie, etc) and explain why you love it so much.

( Many faves ... rolls around in them )

Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu. I don’t need yet another WIP.

Although, this is something that can leverage some of my old unposted Balthier/Ashe plus my posted series of Ashe/Various short fiction.

Was thinking about how certain things about Makoto (P5) remind me of certain things about Ashe (FFXII) and how, in retrospect, I now realize why I actually like how FFXII ends Ashe’s story and ... it makes me want to do something ... multiple things. My growing pile of accidental P5 WIPs aside, I actually also want to briefly return to Ashe and FFXII and finally finish my Ashe series.

(why brain? why do you think of all these things when I am really busy with other stuff? why is it feast or famine? why brain? Why?)

If I decided to revive any of my prior FFXII fanfic WIPs, drafts, or concepts from past is there anything that anyone still here would want me put at the front of my writing -> editing -> posting queue?

FFXII meta counts too.

Actually, this also includes just asking me to repost or turn read permissions back on for stories that have been packed away for the past 6 years. Re-editing/revising old finished stuff that is unavailable technically counts as writing.

For various writerly reasons I plan to think about Ivalice (specially from an FFXII POV but also the other games).

If anyone has a canon topic or a meta prompt to toss on my list, please feel free.

...

Top of the list includes character appreciation posts. In other fandoms I have relied on these to understand/appreciate characters who didn't work for me. I have noticed a lot of "Character X is useless" in ffxii fandom yet I have never felt that way. Thus, my desire to put these thoughts into words from the POV of a writer/storyteller.

My Mud-soaked Name
(in the "My Brother, The Traitor" series)
Final Fantasy XII, Noah fon Ronsenburg (Gabranth), PG
300 words

Written for

31_days prompt Jan 3 - My dreams! My brother! My family! My world! How dare you try to take these things, because they are mine! I have a duty!

A/N: The prompt alone tells the story, but I decided to write 300 words for it with a 30 minute time limit for writing & editing. Noah fon Ronsenburg in 687 O.V. as his family (without Basch) flees war-torn Landis for a new life in Archades.

I posted on Sept 9th about a month-long writing productivity experiment that I'm doing this month in which I count the number of words I post (or archive) per month. Given that I'm on vacation (which is rapidly ending), my count is a bit higher than I expect it would normally be.

All of the details for how much I wrote plus a list of all fiction and essays during the first 9 days of September: are linked from this post.

As of today, I'm my count for September looks like this:

Words Archived: 0 (must make archival versions of two DAkinkmeme stories before end of month?!)
Words Posted: 23561 (definitely higher than my target)
Number of Posts: 14
Days when no writing occurred: 2

Fiction, Headcanon & Meta posted from Sept 10 - Sept 20:

DA2 Meta: Thoughts on the Anders Rivalmance - 625 words
DA2: Fenris/fem!mage!Hawke - "Close" - 2150 words (very NSFW, for this prompt)
DA2: Cullen/Mari Hawke - Chapter from "A History of Lies" (drunk Cullen has something he must tell Mari) - 2350 words
DA2: Cullen/Mari Hawke - Headcanon in 15 Question Domestic Meme - 3850 words

Round up of things in my Tumblr (for my reference more than anyone else, but you might find it interesting too):

Meta & Headcanon (mine and other people's)

Why Elthina does not represent the neutral middle ground
The Counter-Manifesto: How Mages are Destroying Thedas, and What This Could Mean for DA3 by bellisadinosaur with commentary from minorearth and myself plus more comments from flutiebear and sven'harel
Meredith, Anders, and On the Loose
What my Surana and Alistair did for fun in camp (I'm not the OP, really! But, uh, yeah, my Surana/Alistair had some serious mage/templar kink going on once the infamous lamppost was finally licked. >_>)
Brief bit on how Cullen and Anders could have been the Morrigan and Alistair of DA2's main plot.
Huge amounts of audience reaction versus cranky meta regarding Cullen and the debatable creepiness factor
Anora doesn't betray you, you betray her (redux) with link to Border House's great Anora essay
My potentially controversial comments on what constitutes as a socially just ending for DA2 and Anders (redux)
Greagoir and Irving headcanon
mage!Hawke and Leandra headcanon convergence
Anders and Karl headcanon and canon analysis thread
Bergan headcanon

Pitting my OTPs against each other:

Aveline/Wesley vs Aveline/Donnic
Hawke/Cullen vs Warden/Cullen (related: cityofexiles makes amazing Amell/Cullen machinema)
Greagoir/Irving vs Orsino/Meredith & Cullen/Surana doesn't equal Cullen/Amell

Goodies & Lulz:

FFXII: The Day of Its Birth Cry (Chapter 1, translated from Japanese in the FFXII Ultimania Omega - details the destruction of Nabudis and the Mist attack)
Writing Advice from Kurt Vonnegut
Running Around the World (geocultural lulz)
Taking Cullen to the Blooming Rose (vaguely not safe for work due to underdressed worker in the Rose)

1. What does their bedroom look like?

In certain cases, bedroom descriptions include or morph into apartment or house descriptions because that is more appropriate. (This post is far longer than most that will come, which is why it took me a while. ^^)

= DRACE =

( Drace's bedroom (shared with Bergan) )

= PENELO =

( Penelo's series of bedrooms in Rabanastre )

=BASCH & NOAH =
- Basch & Noah’s shared bedroom during childhood -

( Bedroom in Landis … and what Noah did in there. )

- Basch in Dalmasca -

( The Hero of the People's sleeping spaces in Dalmasca )

- Noah in Archades -

( Noah's series of interesting apartments in Archades )

— The After Year —

( Basch & headcanon paraplegic!Noah switching places (sort of) )

Headcanon Index
All 50 Questions

Crossposts: http://vieralynn.livejournal.com/163956.html

Here's my index post for the epic 50 question headcanon meme. Depending on who asked the question and where, my responses are being posted onTumblr, DW, or LJ but this post will serve as the master index for them all.

Feel free to throw another character at me from FFXII or DA and challenge me to dredge through my twisted headcanon. :)

Final Fantasy XII Headcanon:

Fran (on DW) - Questions 22, 35, 36 + anything else (TBD)

Basch, Noah, Drace, & Penelo (on DW) - will attempt to post at least one every other day.

Descriptions of bedrooms over the years: Drace (shared with Bergan), Penelo's series of bedrooms in Dalmasca, a life history of Basch & Noah's various sleeping spaces

Dragon Age Headcanon:

Cullen (on DW) - all 50 questions, will attempt to post at least one response every other day.

Description of bedrooms in Ferelden and Kirkwall (somewhat messy and lacking a personal touch)
Daily rituals and dealing with trauma (long response)
Concept of Home and Family (very unconventional...until the concept dies)

Even though this is something going around on Tumblr, I'm cross posting this over here too!
