Sky Writings

Sorry I haven't been around; haven't had too many opportunities to be online lately... I also haven't felt like writing as of late, so I've been finishing various games in hopes of inspiring myself. :P

Anyways, I finished playing Pokemon Soul Silver a while back, and was reminded how much I enjoyed the original game. :) It almost makes me want to finish Platinum (although the reason I liked SS so much is because it's so much simpler than the newer Pokemon games >.>).

Also finished up the Ace Attorney series recently; finally played the last case of the first Phoenix Wright game, played through Trials and Tribulations, then Apollo Justice (not to mention finished the Edgeworth game a while back).

( Mild Ace Attorney series spoilers )

In other gaming news, I hear there's a remake of FE3 coming out; ironic, since I was thinking of trying out FE11 again (as you might of noticed, I've been on a game finishing streak lately ;P).

Unfortunately, all this gaming still hasn't inspired me to write... Bah. XP (There's a few short stories that I want to finish off, but in my uninspired state, I'm afraid I'll rush and half-ass it >.>). I've written down the outline for one original story idea recently (although original story ideas for me usually mean a rewrite of an existing fairy tale or the like :/).

Anyways, I'm off to a relative's wedding this weekend; maybe I'll feel like writing more after that... Also, I need to remind myself about the pile of cat photos I've been meaning to post; the two visitor kitties have been back with their owner for a while now, but their pictures (and shed fur) still remain. ;)

I just changed my LJ layout image, even though the last one is only a couple weeks old. >_> (Still, I knew I was going to make another layout, as soon as I got my hands on a larger copy of this picture...)

The new header pic is from the Ace Attorney series (aka Phoenix Wright/Apollo Justice). (I really ought to try and finish a PW 'fic, one of these days... :P)

That reminds me... I also want to write an Ace Attorney/Night Court crossover. XD (In case you didn't know, Night Court is an old sitcom from the mid-80's to early 90's; it was one of my favourite sitcoms when I was growing up, and I think its goofy characters and slapstick humour would work well with the Ace Attorney series. ;)

I had originally considered crossing Night Court with Phoenix Wright, but having been reminded of Judge Stone's penchant for magic tricks (how could I forget!) I really want to do something with Trucy from Apollo Justice now, too. XD (The only problem is trying to figure out how to make the timelines mesh, since the Ace Attorney series is set about 10 years from now. >_>)

Now, if you will excuse me, I have to stop myself from comparing Miles Edgeworth with Dan Fielding (who have nothing in common, apart from being overly sexed grey-haired prosecutors that I have a thing for XP).

Sorry I haven't been around lately... Still can't seem to get myself to write consistantly. :/ Can't even finish that smutty piece that seems to be growing more sequels, WTH? And I just got a couple of Sailor Moon plotbunnies nipping at my heels...

I have been gaming like mad over the past month, though... My WoW guild finally downed Illidan last month, then went ahead and kicked Archimonde's arse, thus completing all the raid content in the game until the Sunwell patch is released. (Game over, insert coin. ;)

I also finished playing Professor Layton for the DS recently; I haven't played a game this late into the night since Phoenix Wright (which I'll get to later ;). Prof. Layton satisfies my inner logic puzzle/mystery-loving fangirl; sure, some of the puzzles are mind-boggling, but that's part of the challenge! And I love the voice acting and FMVs (in a DS game, mind you!) I will definitely be looking forward to the sequel. :D

And as aforementioned, I've also tried out the latest game in the Ace Attorney series, Apollo Justice (the name still makes me laugh XD). I've only finished the first case, though I am looking forward to the next one, if only to see Kyouya/Klavier in action (aka Mr. Rock n' Roll lawyer XD).

( Cut for Apollo Justice spoilers... Sort of. )

And I still need to finish playing Trials and Tribulations... Sigh.

In other news? Crunchyroll is made out of win. (Check out their manga section too!)
