And It Begins

[mark_asphodel]

 So 2011 comes in with bang.  Today's tally?  Six hundred dollars in repairs to my car, several hours in lost wages, and four hours in the ER for a gashed scalp.  Completely separate incidents, too.  The car went into the shop because we put 2200 miles on it last week and some nasty orange lights appeared on the dashboard on the drive home.  I went into the hospital because, while working at home, I bent down to retrieve my earbuds, came up WAY too fast, and smacked my head on the rather sharp corner of my wooden desk.

It was gross.  Really gross.  But hey, next time I write about someone with a gushing wound on their head, I can inject a note of realism, right?

Oh well.  If this is the worst day I experience in 2011, it'll be a pretty good year.

Anyway, the holidays, travel, and an honest-to-pete vacation from work brought about some new 'fic ideas, including this.  It's a multi-chaptered tale featuring Elice and Marth after the War of Darkness.  I'm trying for something a little bit different, here... I don't think I've successfully completed anything in Elice's POV before.  The setting is pure invention, some of the major characters are OCs, and the great unspoken presence in the 'fic is Liza.  

So, parts one and two are up.  Those of you who want to embrace the female side of fandom, have at it!

Holy. Crap.

No headdesking for you anymore. Blame it all on the anon meme. "Guys, I was just so appalled by the anon meme, I headdesked and it didn't go very well."

I will try to read your multi-part thing soon. :3 I APOLOGIZE FOR CRAPPY REVIEWS IN ADVANCE.

Also female side of fandom what. You can't do that. :P

Yeah, I will never think of head-desking in the same way again.

Well, hopefully things go up from here rather than down. XD

And oooh, Elice fic! I've been hankering after something of this sort for a while. Off to read now...

DDDD:
Head injuries are never got.
Well, I mean, there are some people whose heads may deserve injuring, but you don't seem to be one of them.
But, ah, writing is good <3

[mark-asphodel.livejournal.com]

Heh. Thanks. Yeah, I rather like my brain. It's one of my better points.

[korsriddare.livejournal.com]

On the bright side, there certainly is no way but up now.

Still, good to see that you are not too badly hurt. Just be more careful!

[mark-asphodel.livejournal.com]

It was entirely my own fault and very stupid of me, too.

Live and learn, I guess.

[writerawakened.livejournal.com]

Ouch! Glad to see you're alright, though :D

[mark-asphodel.livejournal.com]

Thanks. Lemme tell you- putting a hand to your head and feeling a dent there? Not a good experience. I didn't think it was so bad until I felt the impact zone.

[xirysa.livejournal.com]

Owwie. O_O Das is pas bueno, friend.
It's great that you're alright.

Excessive headdesking was never good for anyone.

[mark-asphodel.livejournal.com]

Thanks. All in all, I'm not going to count it as a terrible experience. Unpleasant, yes, but... I dunno. It was a priority check, for certain.

D-: Well, this isn't a good sign! I hope you're feeling better now.

[mark-asphodel.livejournal.com]

It's still bleeding a little, but I'm walking. More than anything else I want to take a shower right now!

At least there were fic ideas that came out of everything. Head wounds are D: though. And they hurt. A lot. D:

BUT YAY FIC! I'll read it when I'm not currently trying to remember how to do things in English, lol.

[mark-asphodel.livejournal.com]

I mentally composed an apology to every character, fanwork and original, on whom I've ever inflicted a head wound.

"Dear Marth, I am deeply sorry for what I did to you in Chapter 3 of Love is Not A Victory March. Next time I decide to mess you up, I will aim for something else."

OTOH, the FE gang have magical healing staves, so my OCs have far more reason to hate me.

[sailorvfan10.livejournal.com]

But at least if you decide to give Marth another head wound, there will be even more realism!

but yeah, healing staves. We need those IRL.
