the deep moans round with many voices

This story is set about ten years before main mercverse canon, insofar as this AU can be said to have any canon. :-) So. "Two Guys and a Girl," in which I bend, staple, and otherwise mutilate normal game canon involving trips to Nibelheim, because seriously, what's the point of crack AUs if you can't play around like this?

Edited 2/4/08, because the version first posted was the rough draft, which I put up mostly so I wouldn't have to eat my scarf for delaying yet another day. *grin* The new version still isn't great literature, but it's a bit less embarrassingly awkward.

I may write a brief epilogue set a few years later, but then again, I have a lot of other things to work on, so don't hold your breath. Julian Silverberg is a reference to chofi's fic here; I know nothing of Suikoden or how she intended to use him, but this seemed reasonable to me. Zack's issues with duels (and the trouble they caused at court) are mentioned in several other fics.

Mwahahahaha!!! *flees*

Anyway, back in real life, my friend Andrew visited on Sunday. He was in Ithaca because his sister (who I think attends IC?) was performing in two concerts this past weekend, and I had some free time before work on Sunday afternoon/evening, so he dropped by my apartment and we hung out for a couple hours.

We're both terrible at correspondence, so these occasional visits are about the only contact we have. I should fix that, I really should. After all, how hard is it to send an email once a month or so?

*makes preemptive New Year's resolution to email casual yet distant friends more often*

And by 'more often,' I mean 'at all'

My new writing goals:

1. Finish chapter 9 of "Guardian" and chapter 10 of "Lemonade" by Christmas.

2. Finish "Secrets" by my birthday. (Backup plan: finish it by my sister's birthday. Backup of the backup, finish it by the story's 5-year anniversary. Because I have been working on "Secrets" for WAY TOO LONG NOW, and it's getting very embarrassing not to have it done already.)

3. Finish "Undertow" by New Year's.

4. Come up with some sort of ending to "Strange Likenesses" by my birthday, because I don't want to delete it from the internet, but having a permanently unfinished story out there is going to itch like fire at the back of my mind.

Somehow I doubt I'll reach all these goals, but I think having publicly stated them, I'll be a bit more motivated to show some sort of progress.

See? NaNo is good for some things, even if this story is meandering way out to hell and gone. I just hope my subconscious has some sort of conclusion in mind -- there are a couple things that have to happen, and a couple others that I want to have happen, but beyond that I'm really clueless. And you know? The last time I wrote a fanfiction story without any real idea where it was going, it took me three years to finish. Just saying.
