PSA: Cleaned up my personal website a bit and actually gave it an RSS feed (???), so on the assumption that that works, I will no longer have to update people elsewhere the next time I make changes. Which will probably happen in 2028, the rate I've been going. I may lump updates to the original-fic site into the same feed, if the situation ever arises that I update that site.

(Which I might. I'm poking at an art project that might be best suited for archival there, TBD).

Featuring two of my specialties, "Final Fantasy 6" and "f/m ships where the man is terrified." Not at the same time, though. I could fix that someday, maybe. Celes can be pretty intimidating, and Terra's whole deal does have some spookiness potential. Much to ponder.

Fandom: Fire Emblem: Path of Radiance/Radiant Dawn
Characters: Shinon, Boyd
Word count: ~650
Warnings: Violence, ambiguous death of major character
Notes: (Aside from being possessed to write weird Zelda shit for exactly two weeks in March,) I'm having something of a writing drought this year. Went back through my scrap files today and found that, in February, I'd written the first three paragraphs of something for feflashfriday and then bailed out of even that as too much commitment. And then I was like, "well, it's Friday now. I dunno how much effort I put into this the first go-round but I'll set a timer for one hour and whatever I can do with this in that time, that's getting posted." So, this isn't edited and there are things about it I would fix if I'd had more time, but - hey, I actually completed a thing.

HELPFULLY ENOUGH, the prompt at the time was like, "Make An Old Favorite Suffer." ... ... Hey Shinon c'mere.

Finally remembering to crosspost fic from the past few months, and I realized I never archived my fills from the Final Fantasy Kiss Battle this year or last.

Feb 2023: Celes/Sabin, "end of the world"

Feb 2024: Celes/Esper!Terra, "sharp teeth"

Fandom: The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time
Characters: Mido, Saria, Fado, the Deku Sprout

Dear Yuletide Writer,

Phlyarologist here - thanks so much for writing for me, and also, may I congratulate you on your fantastic taste in video games? I'm looking forward to seeing what you come up with, and I hope you'll have fun writing it, too. The prompts below are totally optional, and if you have an idea you like better, by all means please do that!

General likes: Humor, friendship, adventure, worldbuilding, missing scenes, character study, interactions between characters who don't normally share a lot of screentime, bittersweetness, hope in the face of adversity. Dirtbags, scoundrels, weasely little bastards, etc. Autumn or winter aesthetics. Angst, complicated family dynamics, a creeping sense of dread, body horror, deathfic. My prompts tend to skew gen, but shipping-wise m/f, m/m, and f/f are all welcome.

DNWs: Explicit sexual content (implied or fade-to-black is fine), non-con, unrequested incest, unrequested adult/underage ships; mundane AUs for canons with supernatural elements; modern AUs for non-modern canons; pregnancy; non-canonical child characters; gender or sexual orientation as sources of angst/conflict; non-canonical death by suicide (canonical suicides or suicides-by-proxy are fine; ideation or attempts not resulting in death are fine); vomit, feces

Fandom: Katamari Damacy
Words: 100
Notes: For the prompt "100 words of cozy horror."

Fandom: Etrian Odyssey IV
Word count: ~2000
Characters: Logre, Kirtida
Warnings: There is one pretty gross line about a corpse.
Notes: genprompt_bingo - "Pipes and Beer." With this, I have actually completed a line! I have also completed a personal challenge, which was to get back on my bullshit (i.e. complete this line by revisiting old familiar fandoms). Okay, I did fudge it by making the Zelda and EO fics for installments other than the ones I spent most time writing for, but still counts.
