buying stuff

Damn, those are some impressive wings on Dark Sun. It shouldn't be possible to stand with those, right???!!

Trying to find merchandise for No Hero, Legend of Sun Knight, Female Warrior, and Kill No More to buy (and ship to my relatives' house), but no one has anything for cheap. Or any complete sets. ;____; I mostly want the cards, posters, and short stories. Bags are no use and too hard to get shipped... Why do people only put up bags for sale? XD;; Another cool one.

I'm considering buying all of Yu Wo's novels that I don't have yet. *dies* That would be No Hero, Eclipse Hunter, Kill No More, and GOD. Unbeatable and Female Warrior are a little harder to find, as they're not sold in stores.

End of the month means crazy deck making for [livejournal.com profile] colors_tcg. :3;; Posting for [community profile] no_true_pair is also starting soon (March 1!) but I haven't written anything yet. I have been bitten by a rabid plunny though (but I'm confined by what's been revealed in canon so far... for this to work, I would need to bring in characters that people haven't read about yet! *flails*). Still, the first prompt I'm considering tackling somehow ended up being Gui & Neo, how about dessert? Throwing two teachers together? HECK YEAH. (Hopefully I'll be able to write this. My word count so far this year has been pretty sad.)

I'm all out of ideas to toss at other people though, so I haven't tossed in too many prompts for [livejournal.com profile] springkink.
[livejournal.com profile] parallelsfic's stories are up! They can be found here or you can browse the fandoms here! I received a super lovely gift that made me grin a whole lot. ^____^ Liu is my favorite character from Suikoden Tierkreis. I adore the way he's written here!

I seriously need to finish playing this game sometime. XD; I finally bought one of the Tierkreis artbooks last month or so (after commenting back and forth with [livejournal.com profile] nugeyo, making me realize how much I wanted this artbook), and it is a thing of beauty, rich with content and even comics featuring the characters. I wish all artbooks were like this one! (Going on a tangent about artbooks, I also recently bought the 20th anniversary Fire Emblem artbook that I've been looking for everywhere, and it just arrived this week! It is quite a perfect artbook for me since it spans all the games and I don't have a single artbook of any of the games).

Prompt claiming over at [livejournal.com profile] springkink has also begun! I made a list of prompts I might be able to write, but so far I don't have any plunnies biting yet, and there's no way I can claim everything I jotted down, haha. I think I will try to narrow it down to one prompt that I will definitely write, and I'm going to try to choose something that wasn't prompted by myself. XD;
So the deadline for [livejournal.com profile] parallelsfic has passed, and I managed to write something in time, but the fic still needs a lot more work, so I'm taking the chance to continue editing the heck out of it before reveals. I better get this fic into better shape! There are a few people who don't have stories yet who are in need of pinch hitters. You can see the pinch hits here. I believe you can offer to pinch hit even if you haven't signed up. You just need an Archive of Our Own account to post!

I haven't managed to finish writing any new fic since May, so I'm glad this got me to write something.

I'm also hoping to participate in [livejournal.com profile] springkink! Prompt gathering closes on August 5th. I tossed in a ton of prompts... that I think I would even like to write myself, since I started getting ideas as I was brainstorming the prompts. When the prompt list goes up, I hope some of the prompts I tossed in will be claimed, and I hope I'll find stuff that I'll want to claim (and think that I'd finish in time!).

[livejournal.com profile] blind_go round 12 is also starting! Round 12 focuses on the new wave. Sign-ups close August 30, fics are due September 19. As I haven't managed to finish writing any Hikago fic since round 3, I'll have to sit this out again, but I'm happy to see the community still going strong. ^____^

When my internet wasn't working at the end of July, and then LJ stopped working, I actually started jotting down fic tidbits in a composition book (since they were on sale). I do all my writing on the computer, but there is something about writing with pen that makes the experience different. I wonder if this will get me to write more. :3 (Off the top of my head, I jotted down a list of incomplete fics I still need to complete... the list is quite scary. T____T; I mean, there are fics I thought I'd be able to finish writing within a week, and yet I've let the fics sit for a year already.)

August 2! 82! Yagyuu/Niou day. Steelhands was released today! *dances* I completely forgot about the release date though, so now I'll have to wait for the book to be shipped to me.
