Ice Age, Heat Wave, Can't Complain...
Jul. 8th, 2010 06:01 pm Well, nuts. On the other hand, I did happen to think "A Knight in Reverse" was one of the better things I'd written in a while, but on the other hand I hate to give the impression that ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-community.gif)
fe_contest is a "newbies not welcome" kind of place where the same couple of writers win every time. But we had at least one new contestant this time, plus someone from ffnet PM'd me with an indication that they're up for the next round, so that's all good. And it was a strong field this time, too... I had a real hard time deciding what #2 and #3 ought to be on the ballot (Gritty realism or sharp-edged comedy? Argh!).
Maybe I'll just sit out the next round of things and focus on finishing some current WIPs or something. And no, I have no bloody idea what the next challenge will be yet.

Archanea sucks. Not the continent, the kingdom. This post at SerenesForest details the whole Hardin-and-the-plainsmen backstory at the bottom of the page, and two things are clear:
1) Hardin was a big damned hero. Though we knew that, it is not something we should forget.
2) Nyna's father (or grandfather) was an nasty piece of work. Or he was a weak king and his overall government was filled with bad people (paging General Lang...).
Yeah, that place was a toilet awaiting a waterfall of bleach.

FE12 got a 34/40 review at Famitsu-- equivalent to the score given FE11. This worries me just a little.

Hey morons, what part of "reclass is optional" do you not understand? How can something you don't have to use possibly ruin your gaming experience. That's like me saying that the wifi battles for FE11 ruined my experience when I've never even played one!

Should I post a new story or go clean the bathroom? I guess my husband will be more pleased by far if I clean the bathroom. Sigh.

At least I bought a replacement charger for my DS....
