Title: Conspiracy on the Highroad
Fandom: Final Fantasy X
Pairing: Jecht/Braska/Auron
Warnings: Smut!
Summary & Notes: Auron is lonely after Jecht and Braska get together on the pilgrimage, but Braska and Jecht want to make sure he knows he's included. Written for the kink_bingo prompt "double penetration (one hole)".

( He spent most of the evening in a foul mood, glowering into the fire they had built by the side of the Mi'Hen Highroad and ignoring the two of them. )

I...I should have said something before, because I found out about this a few days ago. But it's taken me some time to let it sink in, and I wanted to tell all of my family first and such.

SO ANYWAY, NOW I'M TELLING THE WORLD.

I will be going to the University of British Columbia law school this September, instead of returning to the Frozen Twat of Canada - otherwise known as Winnipeg.

It couldn't be better news, seriously. I was pretty sure with my grades I would get into University of Victoria, which is on Vancouver Island and about a 2.5 hour trip from home, including a 1.5 hour ferry ride and not including a wait for said ferry ride. If that had happened, I would have been able to come home on weekends and such, and possibly, POSSIBLY work for Mom one day a week.

I didn't really expect to get into UBC because they only accepted one transfer student last year, and even with my amazing grades I figured that SOMEONE in all of the world would want to get into UBC and would have better grades than me. Apparently not!

With this, I can stay in my own apartment and not move, Miko can continue working at her job that she enjoys and which gives her lots of hours. And after extensive poking at my schedule, I am quite certain that I can work for Mom one day a week first semester, and two days a week second semester. Which is good for rent and being able to eat.

In other news, I'm doing JulNoWriMo and have started a new novel for it, called OtherWhere. I'm about 7000 words in and enjoying it immensely. I'm trying to do the 50,000 words JUST on OtherWhere, and my 2yn and other stuff are on top of that. We'll see. If I get 50,000 words total for the month, it'll be an accomplishment as always, but I do really want to get OtherWhere done as soon as possible because I'll be starting writing my 2yn novel in September or something. Eep.

So with all that in mind, I signed up for Kink Bingo (I may have mentioned that in a previous post) and I'm going to try to do one story off of the bingo card each weekend. So, watch this space for Jecht/Auron/Braska, double penetration (one hole), later today or tomorrow. >D

OK, I haven't really been good at reading my various flists for several weeks now and I think I figured out at least partly why. Firstly, I have two flists, but I think that would be made easier if there were less duplication, and the flists I have were less cluttered.

So today I went through my IJ flist and got rid of like 98% of my feeds and communities. I haven't really been reading fanfiction in oh... 5-6 years now, so it didn't really make sense to have so many fandom communities friended, and right now I'm not really participating in challenges, either. I haven't removed myself from the communities, just stopped watching them, so I may add them back on if I get bitten by the bug once more.

If I've accidentally unfriended you and you think it was unintentional (it should be, I only got rid of feeds and communities) please let me know.

Also, if people who have both a DW and an IJ account could please let me know which one you'd prefer I watch, that'd be really helpful. I need to sit down and figure out who is duplicating and unfriend one, but it would help me if you could just tell me who you are.

In the meantime, life is good, work is crazy as usual. I may be going to Vegas in August (wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee) and I just finished the novel I started back in November (bigger wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee). I'm planning on starting another one in July. I'm doing a lot of writing and writing work...but none of it is fandom related, so that's why it's been so quiet on my end ^^;;;; Oh well?

I'm in the midst of importing my insanejournal to this journal. I wonder how long it's going to take, lol.

I also wonder if it's worthwhile trying to go and import my original LJ here, too, or if that will mess me up. When I transferred to IJ, I imported all of my entries, but tags and comments didn't come with. DW allows you to bring tags and comments... but if I import my LJ after importing my IJ, will I get duplicate entries? That'd be a pain in the ass.

Anyway, if anyone has any ideas, lemme know. But that wasn't actually the thing I wanted to ask about.

I had an epiphany last night about a novel idea I was stuck on for many, many months, and I'm looking for some feedback. Basically, in the novel much of the action is going to take place in an MMORPG, which is run through virtual reality, and run by a creative, intelligent AI. I got stuck all those months ago because I needed a creative idea for the videogame setting, and I didn't have one.

I think I have one! If people could read through my notes and let me know what they think of my idea, that'd be so helpful. I was specifically looking for something that's not just another World of Warcraft idea, and which doesn't involve a lot of resource farming or pointless wandering around to kill monsters. Obviously this idea can't be implemented with our current technology level, but that's OK. If you have ideas of other features that could be included, I'd love to hear them, too!

And if you have ideas for other character classes or sub-classes, that would also be awesome.

The first section of notes was the original stuff I wrote months ago. Starting at the "Videogame Aspect" is the stuff that I came up with last night/this morning, so if there are any inconsistencies, consider the latter stuff to be accurate.

( Cut for Length )

Well, I got a dreamwidth account, because an invite was offered to me. I understand it's cool, but um... I don't really know why, heh. I guess if cross-posting is easy, then I will start crossposting everything, maybe even use my LJ account again, idk. I found semagic to be a pain, just because opening a whole program just to post to IJ was an extra step, but if it's built in then maybe I'll do it.

And now an update on my life orz.

I spent a month or so frantically studying like a mad person and it paid off. I checked my grades yesterday and other than Criminal Law, which hasn't been entered yet so I don't know my grade, I officially am a straight A student. At law school. This is the part where I stare at myself in awe and say "dang, self, you go".

I really must have not had a life this last 8 months.

I've been home for about a week, and my ass has been firmly planted on the couch. Oh, except when I've been out with friends, and running on a track. It's been a VERY good week, though I'm looking forward to getting back to work tomorrow. Obviously, I am insane, but oh well. I miss my mommy, or something.

I didn't really write much of anything in April, because I realized that there were three possibilities: I could study and write, I could study and sleep, or I could write and sleep. All three was not possible, so I gave up writing until finals were over. It took a bit of time to get back into the swing of things, but I'm back on the horse now and things are going well.

I'm not sure how much fanfiction I'm going to be writing in the next little while. I've signed up for no_true_pair and there are some decent prompts that came out of that, so I may write a couple of them. Otherwise, I'm 5 chapters from finishing the novel I started in November, (Sleep of Death), so I definitely want to get that DONE SOON so I can put it away and pull it out at the end of the summer, polish it, and submit it for publication. I'm serious about this one. I really do think it's got a shot.

If anyone's interested in reading the first draft of a story about a world where death was sealed away for 300 years and has now escaped, you can read it on my writing journal jsteiner. It's flocked, but you can request to be added and I'm happy to add you back. I just ask that you not save anything or post it elsewhere on the internet where a potential publisher googling it could find it.

Meanwhile, I'm also taking a course called the Two-Year Novel. It started in January, and while it started off really slow, it's starting to require more and more attention. Good timing. By the time I finish Sleep of Death, I'll probably be focused on planning the new one, which is called The Dreaming. I'm supposed to start writing that around September, and I'll most likely devote NaNoWriMo to taking a big bite out of it. The idea of the course is to be submitting the book for publication by the end of two years.

Also, I bought an XBox 360 and Rockband 2. My XBox Live account name is Chichiri no da, to no one's likely surprise. If anyone has a Gold Membership and Rockband, I have a 1-month free one, and I'd love to play some night! Miko and I are kindof obsessed. Miko loves the drums and is decent on bass, while I'm good with bass, guitar and vocals, but complete and utter fail on drums.

And that's life XD! I'm heading off this afternoon to have lunch with some friends I haven't seen in forever, and to watch Wolverine.

...Sup?

I just wanted to say THANK YOU to everyone who's been reading and encouraging me through this. I've written all of this in like... 3 weeks? And the whole thing is over 50,000 words, so it was a serious undertaking. I-I may write more in this universe at some point, but I make no promises. I really do love them, though. So much. And I hope this is the ending that you've all hoped for.

( The simple reality was that he owned little and cared hardly at all about most of it. )

( The last of the welts had faded, and the only mark currently on him was the neat circle of marks on his shoulder from when Giriko had bitten him three weeks before. )

( From the moment he woke in the morning it seemed obvious that Giriko intended to carry out his vengeance for the day before, and reassert his dominance, just as Mifune had suspected he would. )

Edit: Comments and discussion on the chapter here

I feel like I should post something other than fanfiction o.o;;;;;

So. Life.

School is good, though crazy, as usual. I'm starting to mentally gear up for exams, but they're still a few weeks away. I'm trying to get stuff squared away - like other assignments and stuff - and I'm pretty much done doing that. I have one essay to edit and hand in, and then I can focus exclusively on making outlines for my classes.

Last night I had to do my first mock motion of my legal career, heh. I went to the courthouse, all dressed up with notes and stuff, and argued an injunction. It went really well! The judge had some good comments to make about me, and very few bad things. Really all it came down to was that I was super-nervous at first, but then smoothed out and did really well.

I'm dreading going over the video and being evaluated. Not because I think I didn't do well, but because I think it's going to be agony to watch myself. Oh well :P

I've been writing instead of sleeping. I'm not sure how long this can last.

I've discovered something called Plurk which is a little like twitter and insanely addictive. As a result, I've been a bit neglectful of my IJ flist.... if I've missed anything interesting in the last two weeks, could you let me know? *headdesks*

I wanna go hooooooooooooooooome. It's cold outside T_T

Bah, oh well. Back to Torts.

Title: Setting the Boundaries

WHY DOES EVERY SECTION GET LONGER? I HAD TO SPLIT THIS ONE INTO TWO PARTS. ENJOY!

( Mifune's shoulder muscles generally ached these days, and he had several fresh welts on his upper back. )

Title: Breaking Down Barriers
Fandom: Soul Eater
Pairing: Giriko/Mifune
Warnings: Non-con non-con non-con, kink, bondage, power games, all that good stuff. But don't worry, it's not a deathfic despite appearances. Also, there may be a plot in here somewhere, but don't let that scare you.
Summary & Notes: Giriko wants something from Mifune, and as far as he's concerned, he's going to get it whether Mifune likes it or not.

I probably should have called this a chaptered fic, but...um. It just isn't for some reason. Read the previous parts if you haven't already before reading this one!

( He had no idea what Giriko would do if Mifune were late on only his second day of servitude. )

Title: Tightening the Chains
Fandom: Soul Eater
Pairing: Giriko/Mifune
Warnings: Filthy, filthy non-con, and...what do you call it when someone is forced to take a mind altering substance against their will? Warnings for that, too.
Summary & Notes: Giriko wants something from Mifune, and as far as he's concerned, he's going to get it whether Mifune likes it or not.

This is the second of what is shaping up to be a long arc mostly involving smut between these two characters, which I have now dubbed the Chain Arc. The first story is Knowing Your Place.

THERE ARE NO SOUL EATER FANS ON MY FLIST AND I DON'T CAAAAAARE

( The psychological aspects of it were so obvious it made him ill, but he couldn't deny its power, either )

I've only recently gotten into Soul Eater, but it seems to be eating me alive with fic bunnies, so you will probably see more from me relatively soon orz. As you can probably tell from my journal, I haven't written any fanfiction in a long time, so hopefully this means the return of my fanfiction muse. (Though I can't complain too much since I've been writing an original novel with great enjoyment in the meantime)

I hope you enjoy it! (There are some Soul Eater fans on my flist, right....?)

( He'd toe the line, but that didn't mean he had to be polite with trash. )

Edit: DON'T TELL ME THERE'S NO SOUL EATER FANFICTION ASYLUM ON IJ WTF.

Grab the book nearest you. Right now. Turn to page 56. Find the fifth sentence. Post that sentence along with these instructions in your LiveJournal. Don't dig for your favorite book, the coolest, the most intellectual. Use the CLOSEST.

An illustration of a positivist approach to constitutional law can be found in the Supreme Court's opinion in Re Resolution to Amend the Constitution of Canada, [1981] 1 SCR 753, at 803; 125 DLR (3d) 1, at 44-45 (hereafter the "Patriation Reference") where the court responded as follows to a provincial contention that the Canadian federation was the result of a compact between provinces or, alternatively, between the English and French "founding peoples":

Thrilling, I know *snrks*

Well, I'm back in Winnipeg after an ordeal of epic proportions. All I can say is, THANK GOD I don't have class on Mondays this semester, because I wouldn't have made it.

( Cut for length and epic air travel fail )

Title: Our Little Secret
Fandom: Saiunkoku Monogatari
Pairing: Shuuei/Kouyuu
Warnings: Smut, attempted molestation by an authority figure
Summary & Notes: Kouyuu gets his first big break as a novice, but it may not be all he had hoped for.

This is a sequel to Genius Isn't All It's Cracked Up To Be, and (like the previous story) I wrote it for Cairns for Yuletide.

| Part 1 | Part 2 |

( The damn stupid fucking cottage was so far out into the stupid fucking woods that it took Shuuei hours to first find out where it was, and then to get there. )
