at last I move in

Now that I have this, I need to start filling it up.

I'm debating whether I want to import content from my writing journal back on LJ and/or crosspost to it. I'm pretty certain I don't want to import anything, and positive I don't want to crosspost, with my main journal. I'm theoretically okay with moving stuff over, but that does take time, and I am very lazy.

A friend once mentioned seeing fanart that rendered the marks on Terra's legs (as seen in the Amano designs) as scars, rather than patterns on her tights or stockings, which sparked this.

.hack//SIGN - BT and Harald

Title: Misunderstandings
Fandom: .hack//SIGN
Character: BT
Length: 100 words
Notes: The challenge was something about a door closing behind you, which doesn't appear anywhere in the finished drabble. It's BT in the room with Harald in "Castle" - she seems so freaked out about the message, much the same way that Bear does when Harald says something about being a bad father, that I figured his words had to have some personal significance to her.

( Misdirected apologies )

Posted July 2010. A fifteen-minute ficlet that went over the time limit. At the time I posted it, I considered fleshing it out; later I did so. Only after that did I realize that my timeline was all jacked up; Barret by rights shouldn't be in Midgar for another two years.

(no subject)

I am now stepping back from the spammy importing of virtually everything ever posted on my old writing journal. Three years of short fics moved over. I've reached the point where activity sort of thins out. I was writing mostly to prompts from themed communities, rather than writing ficlets to weekly challenges, and midway through 2006, I moved cross-country. That slowed down my writing, as did no-longer-living-alone and taking up World of Warcraft. I may try to organize some of the themed fics into chronological order.
