So, this fic about the vice-captains taking care of their captains after they shrink is now around 9k and still not done. :'D Um, hello, Lucathia, isn't this a side chapter to so we can get to know you and A Vice-Captain's Tale? At this rate, the side story might end up the same length as the main fic.

But eh, the main story has an actual story line, while this story is just rambling and snippets.

I've mostly finished writing the story though, so I'm hopeful it won't grow that much. But there's a ton of editing to do, and scenes to flesh out. Maybe it'll be 10k-11k by the time I'm done.

4thewords got an update, but my writing streak broke around then because of a timezone thing. =/ Also, some bugs with being unable to battle monsters (automatic loss after starting the battle) and a pretty laggy editor, so I took a few days off from the site. My trial period is ending soon. I'm going to wait and see if the site settles down to see if I'll continue with them. I can battle monsters again now, and the site seems to work on mobile better than the old version, which is nice. I can tap away at my cell phone~


In FEH news, I've gotten my 4th crown! Feh gets a cute crown to wear~ :D For now, I've managed to squeak into Tier 21 every other week, which are the weeks that the score threshold is a bit lower, since the majority of the whales and players who invested into armors and other high BST units are on the week 1 wave. They're already in Tier 21 when I'm battling to get into Tier 21 with the rest of the Tier 20 people who didn't quite make it.

some more FEH rambling )

Got a new Yahtzee card for [community profile] getyourwordsout (previous round ended :3;; ). Decided to go with just character traits this time to make it easier to write a connected story if I wanted to.



I've started on the extra/crossover chapter of so we can get to know you and A Vice-Captain's Tale. So far, it's 4.7k words. I'm about halfway through. :') After I'm done, I might post it in parts... or just all in one go. XD; I expect the length to be around 8-10k. I signed up for a trial month over at 4thewords.com, and it's been doing wonders for my word count. You basically battle monsters and level up through writing a lot. So I've been typing away without doing much editing (oh boy will I need to edit). A lot of this doesn't even make sense... :'D But it's been interesting seeing what kind of style and content I default to when I'm not planning much or dithering over my prose. And it feels good to just be writing something~

I seemed to have signed up right around when the site is being migrated though and updated to a new version. So I'll have to see if I like the new version after the update to determine if I'll continue with the site. :3;; (They did mention special monsters/quests for NaNoWriMo, which is pretty cool~)

Also, I nominated some fandoms for [community profile] yuletide thanks to D's reminder. Yay~ (Still can't believe Yuletide is already here)
