Errrg... Plotbunny breeding...

I have for a while been holding back a rather nutty little FF8 plotbunny that has been chewing on my brain for a while. It includes everything - Griever=Squall, Squall junctioning Griever, Laguna/Squall... and now it bred with a bloody plot analysis (which is nowhere near as good as the two I read about FF7/AC and FF9 - it's too biased in a lot of places) and the whole Ultimecia=Rinoa idea (which I mostly like to discount).

Owie! Maybe I'll type the damn thing up later.


Edit: the plot analysis is not directly linkable. It is listed on this page.

Computer Addict

I am a certified computer addict.

Fëanor was refusing to start, coming up with a message about shutting down to protect files before shutting off completely and not responding unless I turn off the wall switch.

Mum did recall when this started though, it was when she stuck a disk in the wrong drive.

See, I have two optical drives, the original computer package I bought five years ago only had a CD-R drive in it but I modified my order to include a CD-RW instead plus a DVD drive. The DVD drive was admitedly the cheapest one they had in catalogue - one with a slot opening instead of a draw - so when only a year or so later my HP:CoS DVD got jammed in it and I got told to be careful because the drive was causing cracks in the disk I stopped using that drive all together and depended solely on the CD-RW. Not that it bothered me at that point, I got a DBD player anyway and the CD-RW was the master drive anyway, plus it over-all did more, being able to record.

So when I took Fëanor in a couple of months ago I wanted the wonky DVD drive replaced but wouldn't you believe it? they put the new drive in place of the CD-RW and left the damn DVD player in there.

So the result is we have put masking tape over the slot of the bad drive so Mum doesn't make that mistake again (the worst I have ever done is try to eject a disk from that drive when I intended to one above it).

Plotbunny From Hell and it's siblings, mutations and general brain hurtiness

Okay, since I have at least one new watcher on this journal, who commented on my last post mentioning this plotbunny, I will reitterate my stance on fanfiction writing.

I have written fanfiction in the past and know I can be a half-decent writer but I also know from that time that I don't have the endurance and motivation to keep on one single fic over multiple chapters. If it's not an idea I can write into a short oneshot it the most it will get is a synopsis posted on here so others can at least see the idea, and if they want to, borrow it or parts of it.

That said... ( Ultimecia wasn't the only time loop Squall lived through )

Ouch. That was long.
