# About me

Note: :thumb156838080: was painted by cirruscastle as fanart for my Final Fantasy X au sequel, "Love Her and Despair ".

Final Fantasy sustained me through a graduate degree in mythology. I'm now gainfully (not) employed as a freelance writer, with less headspace to devote to fandom than of old.

I was a Trekkie, Blake's 7 and Who fan in the 70s and 80s, Babylon 5 and MYST/RIVEN fan in the 90s, and Tolkien fan since I was an embryo. I was playing video games like original Might & Magic and Temple of Apshai before a good number of you were born. In the mid-aughts, I discovered Final Fantasy, and have filled in the gaps in my gamer education by playing and enjoying most of them. FFX is still my favorite.

My website below is my liveblog of a year-long Final Fantasy marathon. 2013: Let's Play Final Fantasy!

Loving the story, thus far. Can't wait for the final chapters. Maybe when you're done, you can put a happier ending on "Prisoners of Fate"

You're amazing, seriously. Your stories are some of the best I've read and your art is wonderful. Plus. SNOW SCULPTURES? Not something you see every day.

I was hoping that someday, you'd get around to finishing LHaD... I don't want to bug you about it. Just letting you know you've got at least one watcher waiting anxiously for the end...!

Now I just need to get around to doing fanart which is the other reason I'm commenting and bugging you here today :3

Ack, i haven't checked my DA account in far too long! 


Thank you. I canNOT let LHaD get stuck where it is now: I have bits and pieces of the final chapters in my head or on my iPad, but it's been jammed for so long. 


I won't let it end here, though. I mustn't. 


(Fanart?!)

Yeah! I was hoping to draw some fanart of your work.... I don't remember what scenes, but I guess I'll just have to re-read it to remember, huh?

I love pretty much everything of yours I read, so please continue your writing! Of special note is the bardic-circle retelling of FFX, that was so freaking amazing! I have the poem from the end memorized.

Please don't let it end here. Your work has seriously inspired and amazed me in ways I never thought possible! I don't necessarily ship all of the pairings you use, but the way you write them leaves me not really caring how I see them in the perspective of the game.

I am always stunned and honored by fanart.


And MintyWolf is right: I'm going to see if I can devote NaNo to LHAD. 


(And I've moved away somewhat from the ships that grabbed me five years ago, but if they make sense, they should work as literary devices even when I'm not doing it just because I love seeing them together.)

I hope AuronLu isn't one of the ones you've fallen out of love with! Your story made me seriously ship it despite my love for Lulu/Wakka <3

Ooo! That would be the perfect way to get back in the spirit to write the story! And a good way to possibly get it finished as well.

Stunned and honored? Well, then, guss I'd better get rereading. And I might also do one based on the Bardic Circle thing because dammit that was FRACKING COOL. :3

Seibien In reply to auronlu [2010-04-04 17:04:33 +0000 UTC]

haha not really

I just saw the map you made, that is much better than anything I have done

Your writing is great, I am still working on a fic to another series but I have not worked on it as much as I would like.

Auron and Lulu are pretty much the best.

auronlu In reply to Aranthi-Evenstar [2010-03-09 22:48:21 +0000 UTC]

I don't check my DA account often enough. Yes they are!

I wish I could draw them, but I cannot -- or at least, I cannot draw very well -- so instead I write them.

The trouble with games is that there is never enough time to delve deeply into characters' stories, depth, past.

Those two are so much fun to write, although also a challenge, since they don't talk much, and don't waste much time on anything external to their duties.

Aranthi-Evenstar In reply to auronlu [2010-03-22 20:30:22 +0000 UTC]

I'm really hoping they'll make a movie, like Advent Children based off of X-X-2?

Then maybe we could see some more in-depth character.

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

auronlu In reply to Aranthi-Evenstar [2010-03-24 20:03:55 +0000 UTC]

A movie would be lovely, but I doubt they will. FFX isn't as popular as FFVII, so they'd lose money creating a movie like AC for it.

Also, I love AC, but it doesn't really have time to focus on anybody except Cloud. So I doublt Lulu would get much more than a nod for her eye candy figure.

But who knows!

In the meantime, we crazy fanficcers will keep writing the "movies" they should be making.

Aranthi-Evenstar In reply to auronlu [2010-11-08 18:15:28 +0000 UTC]

X is kind of popular? Haha I don't know I'd go see it but no, they probably won't do it.

It'd probably end up being 'The Tidus Movie' even if they did do it and I didn't really like him that much. Tifa got lots of airtime for her boobs though so maybe Lulu would too.

Haha. Yay for fanfiction.

Thanks! I feel a bit odd joining, since my own artistic skills are wretched, but I wanted to leave feedback on some folks' pages.

Well, I can write, anyway.
