FF7/KH/Fruits Basket crossover index - Princess Tohru
Anybody remember the crazy FF7/Kingdom Hearts/Fruits Basket crossover from June? This post is the index for that series, since it doesn't seem to want to quit. :3

Anybody got a couple hours free for reading?
I'm trying to finish off an origfic by a deadline but since it's origfic I don't know if I'm the only person it would make sense to due to the info being only in my head. (that's one thing you don't have to worry about with fanfic -- everybody else knows the world and the people too!) Also I'd like to have some kind of indicator of whether or not it sucks. ^^;;;
Anybody have a couple hours' reading time today?
I'd really like to get some idea whether the tree I'm barking up is even worth barking, so to speak, so that if I need to toss it out I'd still have next weekend for mad high-speed rewrites...
I've got the replies screened so that if anyone feels like leaving me their email address it'll be safe. I'll probably just grab the first volunteer I know well enough...
ETA- I have a volunteer! Thank you! ^____^

random update from the land of not-copings-ville
been at the hospital with Mom for most of 3 days, it's about 2 hours before they'll let her go home (woooooooot for getting Mom home!) ...and I JUST NOW discover that they have wireless here.
*headdesk headdesk headdesk*
...plus it's unsecured wireless and IJ doesn't allow any kind of secured login, so it looks like LJ's the only place I'll update 'til I actually get home.
( rambles here )
bright side is I got a BUCKETLOAD of crocheting done while sitting around not realizing there was wireless...

There are times I would not believe my life if I was not living it myself
Finding oneself locked into one's own guest bedroom is not an event one prepares for.
House is from 1933. All the doors are original. None of them closed when I bought the place. I've replaced all the latches with same-period inserts and the original door hardware is still there. For 3 years this was no problem.
Tonight? Tonight I closed myself into the guest bedroom because it's also the office and the tea room, and the cat is not allowed into the tea room because he's convinced that somewhere there is catnip if he can only destroy enough to get at it. So leaving the door open is not an option.
Putter putter putter, tinker tinker tinker, done with project, go to turn door knob... and it turns and turns and turns and turns and I'm pretty sure it's gone all the way around and hey look at that it HAS gone all the way around and there has been a complete failure to engage the latch. And it goes around again. Oh fun. Now what?
Two windows. One goes out on top of the evillest thorniest (and best-smelling) rose bush ever. The other goes out on top of the giant thorny juniper bush. Did I mention I'm only wearing my pajamas? And that I don't know if my neighbors with my spare key are home from work? And that my parents live in another city? And that if I climb out the window, there is not a darn thing I can do to get back into my house because my purse is in the living room since, strangely enough, I was not anticipating needing my house key while going from room to room INSIDE my house?
And all the tools are in my bedroom and my basement and my garage. I have tools all over the place. I think I even have some in the kitchen. The guest bedroom? No tools. I could get the doorknob fixed with a flat head screwdriver. No screwdrivers in here. Folded over tea bag edges are not sturdy enough. (Yes I know this by empirical experimentation.) The wire hook on a hanging folder is too squiggly to twist correctly. (Also empirical experimentation.) No coat hangers for attempts at lock picking from inside to see if I can get at the latch. Headphone jacks do not substitute for coat hangers. What else have I got in here?
...well, it's the tea room. I have a teaspoon.
I broke out of my guest room with a TEASPOON.
I have since:
Breathed a huge sigh of relief that I didn't need to jump out the window in my pajamas into a thornbush and hobble across the cobblestone street barefoot and half-naked to the neighbors' house,
taken apart and repaired the lock, and
made damn sure that I have a flat-head screwdriver in there now.
...I should probably make sure I have a flat-head screwdriver in all the rest of the rooms, come to think of it.
I swear I wouldn't believe my life if I wasn't living through it.

More FF7 sackboys
(More crocheted madness over at weloveamigurumi -- Sackiroth has comrades now! SackZack, SackCloud, and SackVincent are in action, along with Jenova's yarn-dripping hacked-off crocheted skull. :3
...I wonder what it says about my sanity that I have actually crocheted a hacked-off skull and left the stuffing and yarn dangling as the equivalent of blood and guts.
There'll be more Adventures of Sackiroth posts One Of These Days(TM), because I have literally hundreds of pictures snapped at various cons and plotting out various bits of mischief between the sackboys, but I'm unlikely to have time to code 'em up until the annual "summer work-inundation from hell" period is over. Normally it doesn't hit 'til August; this year it hit in June and hasn't slowed down yet. But one of these days...
By the way - it's my birthday tomorrow. :3 If anyone happened to feel like telling me which of my fics they like best, or quoting a favorite line, or writing a drabble (or a recipe) into a comment, that definitely counts as presents in my worldview... :)
Oh yeah -- one more thing on my wish list?
Would anyone be willing to make a short (20-seconds or less) sound clip of Sephiroth's Advent Children lines about "On your knees; I want to hear you beg forgiveness" or "I've thought of something to give you, Cloud. Shall I give you despair?" ...and then run it through the filter that turns it all chipmunk-pitched?
This is on account of how Sackiroth has a voice chip in him, and I would looooooooove to get that on there. (Particularly in chibivoice.) But I lack the requisite editing skills. :3

One of those months / 'nother recipe
GRAWR.
(Don't ask. Boring RL stuff that continues to conspire against ficwriting time.)
In other news, Winry's Thirty-Second Automail Cleaner Hot Chocolate Fondue is good for whatever ails you.

What would you like to see next?
Obviously going to be a while before I get a chance (at least June, due to the madscramble housefixings before the refinance appraisal), but I thought I'd see what folks were most interested in seeing next.
I can't create a poll on LJ, but here's the IJ poll.
Note: Naruto is NOT AN OPTION. >:E

The adventures of Sackiroth: Commercial break! :3
Commercial break for the adventures of Sackiroth live from ACen in Chicago. I'll be there all weekend (though this is the first net break I've gotten and am about to run), so if anyone is wandering around video programming and sees a straw basket with lilies, come over and say hi to Sackiroth and his friends!

I may have created a monster
...no wait, I know I have created a monster.
Sackiroth Asylum on IJ
I'm going to take random Sackiroth pictures (and SackFair pictures, and eventually SackCloud and SackAngeal and SackWhoeverTheHeckElse pictures once I get 'em done) and post 'em to the community with Ever So Helpful Commentary(TM). (See also Sackiroth's introductory speech. Also my cat's stupendous level of unimpressedness with Sackiroth's attempts at cat intimidation.)
Once Sackiroth gets to Jou, she says she'll take pictures of him around Japan and post those too! <3

Guessing game
I've got next to no wireless signal, so we'll see whether I can actually get this posted (and crossposted) or not... XD
I've wondered whether my writing has got as many identifiers as I guiltily suspect it does -- stuff that means you can take one (okay, maybe two) looks and go 'yep, that's chibirisuchan.' So here's a bit of a challenge.
I wrote one of the FF7 Anonymous Kink Meme fics. (The FF7 kink indexer has helpfully compiled a list of links that go directly to the stories.)
Anyone want to guess which one is mine? (And/or contribute more fics or requests to it while you're there? ^_~)
I'm screening comments so that folks can't see what else has been guessed already. XD
