Gomen nasai for the late reply. /cringing rhyming
Yet another flaw in the insomniac's method of assessment. I just got back from uni an hour ago after just making the midnight deadline and am quite exhausted, having spent the previous 24 hours in isolation working on said assignment. Still, the relief and satisfaction I'm currently experiencing is quite enjoyable and almost makes everything I had to do today worthwhile. Almost. Having said that, I admit I should really start working on these projects week by week, I'm positive it'll relieve me of all of this stress the night before. Bad habits are hard to break though but I shall prevail~! *determined* Anywhat, I think for now, I'll just ride this elation through the weekend and hopefully soak up some well due roleplaying goodness. |3
And you stay away from my harddrive Aea-chan! *blushes furiously* But a fanfic shipping? Yes please~ And my sentiments exactly (again) on the planning process, I mean really, if I'm going to be writing a story, just let me actually 'write' it. Brainstorming I admit, helps in some cases, where I can just lay out all my ideas and pick them out whenever and in which order I want. But I tend to brainstorm a LOT so I tend to do it mid writing as well, not just at the beginning. I'm not following any cookie-cutter guide on how to properly process how I write. >>
Blank pages on the other hand are like goldmines to me. Just seeing them and going over all of the possibilities for a post or chapter gets me all giddy. Lately, I've been trying to start each post as a new slate, unrelated to the previous post (in terms of quality obviously) and just belt it out from there. It's a little intimidating I admit but I like having the idea of writing fresh posts as well as improving upon previous ones. Of course, I only ever write when I'm in the most absolutely right mood, which is a hindrance, but I personally prefer it over a ten minute slap down just for the hell of it. *ignores recent RP post*
However! Note noted and very much appreciated. I'll be sure to inform you of my impressions of the said novels once I get my mitts on them.
And oho~ strategic seeding, something I've become somewhat unfamiliar with over the years. xP I never really knew how in-depth these Harvest Moon games were until I went back to good ol' HM64 and reminisced in all of its glory. Admittedly, I didn't think it'd have anything close to the DS compilations in terms of features, like the ability to actually date, marry and have children but low and behold, they're all there. <3 But now I honestly can't see myself getting into another one now that I've immersed myself in its retro counterpart. I have been trying to force myself into the Rune Factory series (considering its sequel is due any month now) and it actually looks like something... unique. *researches*
My bad. I was just trying to find a segway to trod on MMO's since my past/recent experiences have been anything but hospitable, let alone enjoyable. xP The way you rave about Baldur's Gate's actual roleplaying aspects has me intrigued though, as in our choices actually have an impact and not any one route is better than another? It seems kind of... lonely though, having such an immersive world and being the only real-time character present. I mean, it's like most other single-player games but I still can't shake this impression I have of RPG's (especially ones made on PC) that are somehow MMO related. :| The mere point you brought up IWD2's beautiful winterscapes however, intrigues me to no end. xD
And it appears as if you've gotten everything sorted out with MSN. Now we can chat away indefinitely. Mind, our contact times maybe slightly unfavourable to the cause but we might as well try, neh? :3
And yes, I called you Aea-chan; derived from AE but with an additional 'a' and 'chan'. |3
