fe_contest this time, even though I liked the prompt. I had an idea I really liked for "Vanity" involving courtship/marriage between Innes and L'Arachel in a 1930s-ish setting, an evolution of the 'fic I keep wanting to write entitled "A Simple Game of Self-Respect."
When a 'fic title is derived from Elvis Costello's "Two Little Hitlers," you know it's not gonna be very fluffy.
But honestly? Writing something like that promised to be emotionally draining and a great deal of... work. Work to make the dialogue actually witty, and the interaction smart and sexy... and the atmosphere what I wanted it to be. And I really, really didn't want anything to distract me from writing "Starchild," which is a) a great deal of fun to write and b) something that needs to be finished so I can move on and not have my head filled with details of this cracked-out mashup world. Seriously. I've dreamed up mission logos. I've tried to place the various continents on an actual map to figure out an orbital path. I've wondered what sports the characters like best. Is Ephraim more of a basketball guy or a hockey guy? No, not baseball. They don't play baseball in the Magvel Union. That's what those foreigners down in Lieberia play.
Also, there's a sequel to "Starchild" germinating in my head, and it's awful.

I haven't done a meme in a while. I guess I stole this from![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
hooves ... and half the rest of the f-list.
Name a character from one of my fandoms, and I will reply saying:
* How I FEEEEEL about this character
* All the people I ship romantically with this character
* My non-romantic OTP for this character
* My unpopular opinion about this character
* One thing I wish would happen / had happened with this character in canon.
PS: I have fandoms other than Fire Emblem (Utena, Gundam Wing, Harry Potter...) I just don't write them.

Date: 2011-04-19 02:49 am (UTC)L'Arachel....
1) I like her. She's more endearing than I expected her to be; she's not as well-written as Serra, IMO, but she does have that poignant side lurking underneath the shouting. She could only "work" in Magvel, though. Magvel's kind of weird.
2) Rennac/L'Arachel. Ooh, I like it. He seems aware of her faults (and kind of revels in his own) but he's drawn to her nonetheless. She's my favorite marriage option for Ephraim ('cause the other option's Tana[*]) and I think she goes well enough with Innes. I'm pretty flexible with Magvel pairings, and she's no exception.
3) Lovely friendship with Eirika... and I do like her connection to Dozla.
4) Huh. There are popular opinions about L'Arachel? I don't think there's a prevailing stereotype about her that I disagree with; it's not like bitch!Serra where she's horribly written 50% of the time. I guess I disagree that she's a really horny sex priestess? I mean, that's fun crack, but I don't see that for reasonable interpretation of canon.
5) Paired ending with Rennac. No question.
* Nothing against Tana, but I have not changed my view that Ephraim/Tana is basically Marth/Caeda without any of the GOOD parts of M/C's relationship.

Where have I been all this time? I must find this!!! :OI don't know, given her upbringing in such a sheltered environment, I could see her, while "out in the world," having some sort of fling in a fit of weakness. (cf. her reactions in her supports with Eph) Maybe not "sex priestess" level though :P
