scifiroots

Okay, that's a weird looking header! But anyway... Since I'm not really posting here anymore I wanted to let anyone who peeks in knows what's up!

Well, my main journal is still on LJ (as scifiroots) and I do now hold a Tumblr account that I do post to with various things.

However if you're looking for fandom things - my fics, icons, recs, etc. - you should find me here on enchanting_muse. Formerly I used the name on a lj comm, but since it's always been a personal comm for me to post to, I figured I ought to create it as a separate "individual." Besides, I have my scifiroots and enchanting_muse accounts on DreamWidth. And with the cross-posting feature (my favorite!) I'm using only certain jouranls now.

Anyway, basically I'm saying to find me these days at one of the following locations:
Twitter (though you should DM me to say you know me. I keep blocking suspicious folks.)
My general Tumblog
My creative Tumblog
And of course enchanting_muse (mirrored on DreamWidth)

I'm thrilled to announce that I'm offering up my first items on Etsy! As of this posting I've put up one necklace and one pair of earrings. Soon to come will be: a choker necklace, a pair of cat earrings, a huge selection of magnets (two sizes), and a variety of matchbox creations. Oh, and one purse.

Follow the link to see my store! =D

Two visible examples of the magnets I've been working on. Two general sizes, as you can see. Involves simple collage and piecing together. I'm loving these. And yes they will be for sale! Soon!


The above close-up is of a necklace I shall be giving to my friend for a graduation gift. I'm looking forward to doing more of these necklaces, but I think it's important to gift my first piece.

Do What You Have to Do
By Clarity Scifiroots
The usual disclaimers apply. In addition, “Do What You Have to Do” belongs to Sarah McLachlan. Also, I have included dialogue direct from transcripts of some of the Firefly episodes and Serenity, the BDM. (According to the shooting script of the film guide.)

Characters: Simon, River, Kaylee, Mal mainly but Jayne, Wash, and Zoe also make important appearances
Spoilers: For “Ariel,” “War Stories,” and “Objects in Space;” especially for the BDM
Rating: Teen for angst and language, I s’pose.
Summary: For Simon, there is one person he must attend to; if that means he has to leave others behind, he’ll do it. This is the first of ten interconnected stories that will futz with Serenity canon and continue from there. Rest assured, Mal and Simon will get together and work things out.

Recent edit: April 12, 2009

Over on the LJ comm FST the month's theme is requests. Woohoo! And bookworm_e wanted something for Zack Fair. *vbg* Seeing as I've had a playlist for myself with music that made me think of Crisis Core, I was well on my way. So I ended up doing two mixes, one for Zack "solo" and the other to cover relationship possibilities. (Interestingly I found most of the "relationship songs" worked best with Angeal. ^_~)

So I don't have to repost details, I'm linking to my LJ posts. Don't worry, they're unlocked and accessable to all. Feel free to comment here with feedback, thanks, or suggestions - whatever! =3 Eventually I'd like to work on other characters (I have a good bit of a SOLDIER mix started, actually.)

Disk 1: Don't Stop Me Now - Zack Fair
Disk 2: Not Goodbye - Zack Fair & Co

(and is anyone else still a little offput by Zack's last name? Well, actually I think Genesis' last name is hilarious... don't know why. U_U)

So this semester I'm taking three classes plus an independent project: Soc Topics - Sexuality, Soc Seminar - Gender, and Pop Lit - Monsters in film. They're all excellent classes. In particular I'm really enjoying my soc classes.

At some point I'll list the various texts we've been reading and probably provide a few links to things we've read/watched online. At the moment, though, the reading done for today was particularly impactful in my opinion.

Woohoo! I heart Crisis Core like w0ah. *g* Of course this means that I'm wasting hours on it instead of, y'know, homework? 9_9;;

Although I am using the trick, now, of doing the 100-sea worm mission with an equipped counterattack to aim for leveling up Zack and/or my materia. Nice~. Means I can do some multi-tasking. I'm at level 71 now, whee! And I finished the Yuffie missions (aww, she's so adorable) and have a bunch of materia I never spent time to acquire on my first run through (like, er, electrocute, various punch materia... flare, summons DMW materia). *bounces* Also seeing a couple new memories to help complete my DMW sequences. Sweet~!

Anywho, class starts soon so I have to fly. I'm still debating whether I'll go to a reading tonight - it's the food that's attractive, actually. lol. But I've got King Kong to watch and write about tonight. Need to post and comment on a clip for my sexuality class too about heteronormativity in a children's show. =3 Hee.

Ta~!

I just finished rereading all of ALHR by Twig. I'd only read through the entire thing once before, just after it'd been finished. I find it strange how listless I feel after finishing it. When something goes on for so long, and there's as many turns and twists and false starts and endings... geez, it's just a shock when it's done. And then I have to remember that I can't find something that's like this and finished in the FF7 realm. Damn I want more fic...

Whew, and lord am I tired. Seems like I'll be taking a nap though I'd planned to write my post for Monsters in Film... about Sephiroth as a monster in Advent Children. >^,,^< Yay for tying in fandom to classes! lolz

Title: Imitation

By Clarity Scifiroots

Characters/pairing: Angeal/Cloud, Zack

Rating: Adults Only         Warnings: SMUT, kinda angsty

Words: 1,375

Prompt: FFVII:CC Angeal/Cloud: age differences - In his bed too quick.

Summary:  Angeal knew there were similarities between him and his SOLDIER Second Class shadow. He never expected it to be more than the occasional topic of his friends’ jokes, though.

 

Notes: I have issues with underage sexual relationships when one of the partners involved is more than a couple years older. Also, I know some Aussies and a new law they’re supposed to follow. So for the sake of this, I’m upping Cloud’s age. Our lovely blonde is 17, still young, but of consenting age. (At least in Australia. ^_^)

So I was totally supposed to have WAY more done on at least one of my papers tonight... Didn't happen so far - ended up talking for ages about gender/race/sexuality with coworkers/friends then ended up with another hour finding out about coworker's engagement and swapping strange stories about a mutual acquaintance in a sketchy relationship; then got back to the room and delighted in taking bunches of photos. Forty minutes to finish up the last of Silent Hill: Origins. Now - posting. =p Yeah. Whatevs, gotta work more after this.

PICTURES!

It's true, it's true, Zack is HERE. Obviously Zack delighted in finding Aerith again - and no bulky boxes in the way this time!
Album with all pictures here! (Note: not all pics included in this post)

OMG!!! My friend called me up to give me a surprise! AND GUESS WHAT?! I HAVE ZACK! *squees*

Totally sitting with friends/classmates to rewatch Invasion of the Body Snatchers for class and Zack, fully assembled with the Bust Sword on his back, is leaning on my lap. LOL. I'm debating how insane I'll look tonight if I bring him with me to the Writing Center for work. =p

Haha! Anyway, SO HAPPY. I'll get pics up soon, promise. *g*

Title: Oblivious
Characters: Angeal, Zack (Hojo, Kunsel, Cloud)
Team: SOLDIER
Rating: All
Words: 100 for prompt "secrets" on ffvii_100 Title: Oblivious Characters: Angeal, Zack (Hojo, Kunsel, Cloud) Team: SOLDIER Rating: All Words: 100

Angeal sometimes worried about Zack’s enthusiasm getting in the way of comprehension.

Point: Zack loved showing off, and Hojo’s muttered comments caused little more than a few minutes of confusion.

Point: Zack liked socializing. But Angeal knew Kunsel shared secrets with Zack he would never imagine sharing with anyone else.

Point: Zack enjoyed public functions. A blond cadet appeared in the shadows to watch him with a star-struck gaze whenever possible, but Zack never saw him.

“Someday you’re going to find you’ve misjudged,” Angeal warned.

“I see the best in people!” Zack defended.

Angeal thought, Or you miss it completely.

One new icon to share:

And a lil' amusing anecdote to share. Prior our Monsters in Film class today, Em came by my room. I was busy sorting out some laundry when she sat down on my bed and looked at my computer. I didn't remember what had been up last until I hear her laugh and say: "Smut? LOLZ"  ;;^^ I was a little embarrassed. Most people I know in person don't really know what exactly I write. I mean, there's Hidama, but she's a real gem and I don't exactly have many friends like her. =P

So that was my rather small entertainment to share. Otherwise tonight I'll be going to campus' V-day celebration and afterwards it sounds like I'll be playing Silent Hill: Origins with a friend. Ta!

Title: We Could Be Happy

Summary: Opportunities missed.
A/N: For areyougame prompt: Final Fantasy VII, Aeris and one or more of her Soldiers: pregnancy - she'd felt the pressure of being the last of her kind for so long, it was sometimes surprising to remember that she could be the first as well.
 

I swear I might as well declare this journal solely for FF7 stuff.

Anyway, first icon post here. A variety of things including Play Arts figures, random fun, and quotes from Twig's A Long, Hard Road.

AN: Angst like wh0a. (Canon character death.)

Rain. He caught its scent before he felt it. Wet earth clung to his clothes as he sluggishly rolled over and began to drag himself forward. He couldn’t see clearly, but there was more than the stench of pollution and muddied ground. Somewhere close blood had been spilled.

A battle. He’d gotten used to that smell, but this time… something was wrong. Familiar sweat; his nose had pressed against a neck or shoulder or chest for so long since the banishment of antiseptic lab.

He crawled.

Blood. Sweat. So familiar… Life slipping away, and he didn’t want to know.

Zack?

A handful of new pictures to share. I'm desperately longing for Zack. *sigh* I think CC Aerith is also totally adorable. But I'm wondering - where's Tseng? I want a Tseng figure! And in the FF8 world, I want Quistis!

In any case, here's a preview and the link to the folder:

more photos here.

Need more FF7 icons to choose from! I really want another Sephiroth icon. And another Zack icon. I love Zack leik w0ah.
