I had nothing big to do at work yesterday, so in-between shifting furniture around for the new boss (hopefully he won’t be the same as the old boss), I hammered out the last three of the Valkyria Chronicles stories that I wanted to do for LiveJournal. They’re all short (no more than 220 words apiece), but I think you might like them. Carried Away, Fire Flower Ridge, and Separation Anxiety are now available for your reading pleasure.
I’ve gone back to writing Valkyria Chronicles fanfiction, with my total of short stories centered around Dallas and Edy now totaling five, with the addition of Trump Card to the roster. This is one of the “civilian AU” pieces I had wanted to do earlier. It just took me a while to find the right framing situation for it.
Last night, I went ahead and decided to write my first fanfiction piece of the year. This one’s from the Touhou games, and it’s called …To Those Who Wait.
Don’t you just hate it when you feel like you have a great idea for a project, leave it alone for a while, try to start writing it again, but can’t think of any great ideas on how to write it? It’s happened to me a couple of times. I kept telling myself that I’d get back to writing “It’s Never Lonely at the Top” since August, but writer’s block hit me like a shoryuken to the chin, and I haven’t been able to continue the damn thing.
Something’s wonky with the PlayStation Network lately. I picked up a few trophies from Lumines Supernova and Burnout Paradise, but for some reason I can’t sync them up with my PSN profile online (the progress meter hangs for about a minute and then stops at 21% before giving up and producing an error message). I wonder if this could be a side effect of everyone and their brother playing their brand-spanking new PS3 games they got for Christmas this year. I also had trouble getting online in LittleBigPlanet yesterday, but that appears to be unrelated to this, since the LBP servers are run by Media Molecule and not Sony.
