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

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

braggin' rights
A little while ago, one of the LJ FF7 communities had a link to this adorable little sackboy!Reno amigurumi.
I went DUUUUUUUUUUUDE! ♥♥♥
Only problem? It had been about a quarter of a century since I'd touched a crochet hook.
At 7 p.m. tonight I didn't even know how to do a standard single crochet correctly.
At 10:45 p.m. tonight I have my first smiley sackboy head more than halfway done. :3
And it would have been faster if I hadn't forgotten a significant factor in my calculations: The last time I did any kind of industrial-strength yarnfidgeting, I did not own a cat.
Starting at approx. 7:05:
Cat: (yawn) (stretch) (spots the shiny crochet hook) ...whatchadoin?
Me: ...
Me: ...
Me: HOSHIT--
Cat:
Me: AAAAUUUUUUUGH--
(insert bloodshed, mayhem, and much yowling from both parties involved)
Me: ...and STAY OUT!
Cat: No faaaaaair! You cheat, you lying cheating thumbiferous thing with thumbs that invented evil evil EVIL doors and it's not faaaaaaaaaaair -- didja hear me yet? Didja?
Me: ...
Me: ...
Me: ...
Cat: I SAID DIDJA HEAR ME YET?
Me: ...I think I could get to hate my life.
I finally gave up the notion of getting the whole head done when I stopped to look at the chart, moved my hand, made a really embarrassing noise, and realized that my entire hand had turned into a cramped-up painball and I wasn't entirely sure I could still feel my thumb. Note for next time: distribute the crafting over several days, not one soooooolid crochet session...
Still. Not bad for the first time I've touched a crochet hook in a quarter century. :3
ETA: Now with pictures!
Current Mood:  accomplished

Pairing/characters: Zack and Tohru
Rating: PG-13
Warnings: None really
Prompt/challenge you're answering: "Zack/Tohru , captivity scenario"

Prompt/challenge
you're answering: Tohru rescues Cloud from some kind of trouble
Warnings: Not drinksafe.

notes: It wouldn't shut up! And I have to get something written in other universes some time this month... so I whacked it off at the knees and here it is. (I'll link in from my indexes later; that takes a long time with 2 sites to hit in parallel and I'm trying to get this fic to leave me alone long enough to work on something else tonight too....)

FF7/Fruits Basket via KH, Aeris and Tohru, Fairytale Endings pt. 1 (crosspost)
Title: Fairytale Endings: How to Design A Happily Ever After
(part 1,
or kind of 2, of ??)
(originally posted in IJ's No True Pair community in June 08; now making an LJ-side index for it too)
Author: chibirisuchan
Fandom: FF7 and Fruits Basket via Kingdom Hearts
Pairing/characters: Aeris and Tohru
Rating: PG 13
Prompt/challenge
you're answering: Tohru and Aeris as the main characters in a fairy tale
Warnings: Not drinksafe. Occasional profanity. High dosages of Aeris.
Author's
notes: (sweatdrop) possible record holder for laaaaaatest entry ever? This is a fic from the June round; I told
myself I needed to get this done before the new rounds came out in January,
though, so here I am starting on the 30th and trying to finish by Dec. 31...
and failing, of course. I knew this was going to be a monster in many, many
senses of the word. This section is one of the pieces that comes
chronologically before Zack's arrival, and there are more parts after that.
(Also, normally I spell her name Aeris because my first introduction was
through FF7, but it's spelled Aerith in Kingdom Hearts, so I swapped over for this
fic.)

I has a shiiiiny
Paid off the last of the flood-related credit card bills with income tax return (woooot!) THEN I got $400 the state has owed me for 6 months that I thought I'd never see because of the budget crisis but hey mailbox surprise of the good kind! :3
And the last time I bought a new laptop? 1993. (I bought a thoroughly used one in 2001, but even at the time it was too unpatchable to network, and it's older than the invention of USB ports so if it doesn't fit on a floppy I'm doomed. So yeah. Kinda time for a new laptop. I've been doing just fine for years on work laptops, but it'd be nice to have one that was honest-to-goodness *mine,* y'know? Plus the hilarious part is I'll probably use it more at work than my work laptop, on account of how I most often use a laptop at work when in meetings or training sessions that last several hours and don't always have power handy. The official work laptop gets about 2 hours on a charge. This one? 9 1/2 according to specs, which I figure is probably 6 real-life. Still. Battery power goooood!)
...so. Shiiiiiny. :3 Should be here some time next week.
o-omg I really REALLY hope the self-indulgence is not an indicator that it's time for my basement to flood again...

Oh, Japan... ^__^
Was in Chicago this weekend for May convention planning. To me, this meant a rare opportunity to shop in the refrigerated section of the Japanese grocery store -- it's not all that often when the outside temperature is above freezing so as not to damage things like fresh shiso leaves, but also cool enough that things can survive the 5 hour round trip without going bad! So I stocked up. :3
For the uninitiated, let me introduce you to some Japanese food staples. (The common themes will become readily apparent, I suspect...)
Tatsukuri: Take small dried fish (large enough that you can still see the eyes looking at you). Make them into peanut brittle, only without the peanuts and with extra bonus soy sauce and anchovies.
Chirimen-jako: Take even smaller dried fish (generally too small to notice the eyes). Make them into sticky caramel sauce with fish wriggles in, with extra bonus soy sauce.
Sakura-denbu: Take dried fish of some sort that will end up essentially unrecognizable (no eyes this time!) Make them into cotton candy.
Kamaboko, narutomaki, and others: Take fish. Puree and cook it into something the approximate texture of a dried-out glue stick. Decorate it with festive pink and white stripes just for extra wtfery.
Tsukudani: Take something (it really doesn't matter what it used to be, because you won't be able to tell by the time it's done). Boil it into jelly with the assistance of a gallon of soy sauce.
Shibazuke: Take an eggplant and maybe some cucumber and shiso too. Pickle it and add blazing magenta food coloring.
Jyuuzen-nasu: Take an eggplant. Pickle it and add daaark navy blue food coloring.
Aojiso: Take some cucumber and some shiso (perilla) leaves - the green kind, not the red kind. Pickle them and add some really freaky dark-blue-green dye just to make totally sure nobody mistakes this for the blazing magenta version.
:3 Yeah this is pretty tongue in cheek, but the creepy part is I am not actually kidding with any of these. You can occasionally find Japanese pickles without buckets of food dyes added, but they're pretty rare, and I tend to pounce on anything that's been dyed with red cabbage juice just because it hasn't been dyed with stuff that starts with chemical identification numbers. XD I was bummed to discover they didn't have any shoyu-goma in stock (soy-sauce-roasted sesame seeds - think dry roasted peanuts only out of sesame). Maybe they needed more space for psychedelic colored pickles...
