Lol yeah I like my little loop hole XD

The reference is to both countries that have the Southern Cross on their flag ;)

 

[Misheard Whisper]

I SEE WHAT YOU DID THAR. lulz.

In other news, I went to today's anime-con, and got a real Katana, and some anime and manga.

Yeah I also have a Bo as well, and another Katana, but this Katana is from Indonesia, and is not the traditional kind. It still is relatively sharp though, and it cost me $15 American XD

'Tis not a real katana then, I'm sorry to say. Even practice katana made from low-ish grade steel cost upwards of $150. True katana, forged from tamahagane (or "jewel steel") cost anywhere from about $500 to hundreds of thousands.

Of course, that doesn't mean you can't go out and slash things with yours. It might break, but what the frell. It's a sharp object.

Does anyone here own a/some domain name/s? If so, what are they and where/when did you get them?

Yes, it's listed as my website, and a year and a couple of months ago. The only things on it right now are two boards (one old, one in preparation for being launched), a wiki (that may or may not be used), an RP site (which is in bad need of updating due to the inaccuracy of information all over it), and that page. However, things will change shortly. The main site's almost finished, and I'm planning on putting an old, old site (something I started back in 2001) there once I revamp it.

The name is from Arvixe (which offers cheap hosting); the space was given to me by my friend and second-in-command, Camisado.

Yeah, in looks it is Katana-esque, but for $15 American, I doubt it is much more than art XD

The one I got at the anime-con was valued apparently at $1000 CAD

Really? How much did you get it for? And can I have it?

How clear cut are your villains and heroes? Do you like them to be rigid opposites, or closer, with the line between good and evil blurred?

I'd most probably prefer their noticeably opposite relationship intertwined or mixed. Thus, gives readers the notion of 'everybody's freakin' evil!!!!!!111/ Murder, slaughter and bloodshed galore!!!!'

FREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE! (I thought I'd let that sink in, amirite? :P XD)

Won it in a ballot draw.

Needless to say I was quite surprised.

Lucky devil. I'm waiting until I have enough money to get something like this, probably the XL version. If I decide I may actually go somewhere with lessons and whatnot, I might eventually get a nicer one, but it definitely wouldn't be used in practice. Only on robbers, annoying neighbors, that sort of thing.

If I never post again, it's because I've been arrested.

Hey well I condone vigilantism XD >.>

After all, my coworkers remind me so often that I look like Christian Bale. If I can find my camera charger thingy, I'd take a picture of my sword, otherwise you'd have to deal with a 1.3 mp built in web cam on my laptop, let me see if I can find the pic online though.

Hi, everyone.

Something reminded me of this when I came home from work, but I didn't post it then because everyone's feelings are special!, and I was in a rage.

^_^

But I just want to remind a select few of you that the FFL is for conversations that everyone can join in on about fanfiction. This means that random bold topics about eggs are frowned upon. And frowns aren't good things. :(

Are we following along now?

^___^

Good.

Also, I just want to remind everyone that if you have a specific question to ask a specific member, there are wonderful things called "visitor messages" that can be found on your profile. VMs allow you to have conversations with someone that won't bore the other people that aren't involved!

^_____^

So just remember that the FFL is for everyone! :D:D:D:D We're all welcomed here to talk about fanfiction.

Carry on, everyone!

^______________________^

 

[Feign]

Oo I thought we semi established it was semi randomness in here? XD :P

Perhaps my egg question was actually a way to determine the quality of one's fic by means of the type of egg choice? :P

Okay well only kidding, in all seriousness though *straightens up a bit*.

And this is why I love you.

 

[txteclipse]

And this is why I love you.

Really? That positively scared the crap out of me. I kept hearing Heath Ledger saying "Let's put a smile on that face!"

 

[Shrike Flamestar]

Oh hey people. I have no idea what is going on in here! Some stuff about cake, swords, a Harry Potter debacle a while back... I's all good, right? Yeah. I ike cake. And swords. Harry Potter is okay, I just wish she had had the balls to kill him off.

Oh yeah, I like guns too. But no one mentioned guns so I'm kind of sad. But not really. I wish I had a real gun. Or, at least an Airsoft. There's this nice MP7 Airsoft gun that I want. The MP7 is cool. I used to prefer the P90 but now I like the MP7 more because it just looks so badass. It's also the closest in reality to a convertible gun like the VF-EMRP in TRINITY. Unfortunately the only guns I have are Nerf guns, which are pretty cool. Then again I'm a nerd so what do I know.

So yeah. Writing status update! I have managed to keep up my commitment to writing everyday so far, although the past two days were weak with only a few lines each. Today, however, I got over two and a half pages done so that kind of makes up for it in a way. Those pages include pretty much all of the battle that's in this chapter, meaning that part is now finished. It's a pretty cool battle, and I think much improved over the old version. For one, it's around three pages versus two before. For another, Jehiel is now much more vicious, and while the battle's not really gory or anything it has plenty of blood! All caused by a tiny little UTTERLY SAVAGE AND BLOOD-THIRSTY Zigzagoon. Aww, he's so cute... Until he tears your belly open and starts pulling out your intestines at least. Which does not happen in that battle but would be kickass so I need to fit that in sometime else down the road.

I'm not sure if I'll be able to finish this chapter by Tuesday but who knows. I still have plenty to pack... Ironically, today was the busiest day of the last few between being out with the family for half of the day and starting to pack, yet I managed to write pretty much that entire battle so who knows what I'll do tomorrow and Monday.

Oh yeah, again. I just remembered earlier that the Battlestar Galactica season 4 soundtrack came out and have been listening to it and it's awesome. I think it may have been what helped me write that battle, especially since it seemed like every part of the battle matched up to the music as I was writing. O_o

I think Astinus' sanity turned from insanity to unsanity. 8D The latter of which isn't even supposed to be possible? 8D

 

[Misheard Whisper]

Take a holiday, Asty. We'll call in an S-Mod to cover for you while you're in Tahiti. *pets*

 

[Astinus]

And this is why I love you.

YAY! I like love! ^___^

Everyone should be loved. :D

:pink_love:

Really? That positively scared the crap out of me. I kept hearing Heath Ledger saying "Let's put a smile on that face!"

People shouldn't be scared of people. :(

I will send you internet hugs to make you feel better! :D

*huuuuuuuuuuuuuuugs!* ^__^

Yeah. I ike cake.

I LIKE CAKE TOO! ^____^ It's delicious! Yummy in my tummy~!

And swords. Oh yeah, I like guns too.

D: Guns are scary! Swords are scary too!

I don't like scary things. :(

BUT YAY FOR WRITING EVERYDAY! :D

I think Astinus' sanity turned from insanity to unsanity. 8D The latter of which isn't even supposed to be possible? 8D

Insanity is funny. ^_____^ It makes me laugh.

Unsanity? :cer_confused:

-

Okay, yeah, this is the last time I do something like that. I just thought we all needed a friendly laugh with one another. (I'm still laughing at "I like love!") Another excuse is that I've been in work all this past week, but I'm on vacation starting four hours ago. So I can sleep, recover, and get back to cleaning PFF&P up from my absence.

So, yes, Sparkling, I am going to be on holiday from work. It's not the best holiday in the word, since the house is being remodeled, but oh well. I'll feel better when the week is through.

Shrike's post made me feel a bit guilty about the fact that I didn't write at all today. Yesterday, I managed six pages, which is twice of what I normally do. I aim for three pages a day. Also get in an hour-and-a-half of research if need be (research being either canon or just general information). Fortunately, I can write my main Digimon project now without needing to worry about where to place things in canon, since I did that last night.

Yay! That's good! The holiday bit, not the me feeling like a bottle of chardonnay bit. But that's just fun. Really, Asty, that scared me a little. *hides*

 

[Ninja Caterpie]

Astinus, Shrike's post made you guilty about not writing for a day?

I haven't written properly since last year. T_T

Apart from assignments, but that wasn't really proper, especially not my creative writing one. Horrible stuff, that was.
