Name / Pseud: Traxits Journals (LJ, DW, etc) / AO3 username: Traxits on DW and AO3, as well as an icon journal, traxicons. Other places I’m looking for awesome fandom friends: AIM! Gtalk! I'm Traxits on both. ^^ (And Twitter, if you like. Also Traxits there.)
FF canons I’ve experienced: FFVII,FFVII:AC, FFVII:OTWtaS:CoD, FFVII:LO, FFVIII, FFIX, FFX, FFXI, FFXII, FFXIV, FF:CC, FF:CC:MLaK, FF:CC:MLaDL, FFT, FFTA, FFTA2, Dissidia. FF Fandoms I’m active in: FFVII and FFVIII mostly. With a ridiculous love for Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles, My Life as King, and My Life as Darklord. Ways I participate in fandom: Mostly writing. A lot of writing, actually. Not as much as I'd like, but really, who manages that? I also draw (sometimes), and read (mostly on recommendation only, but sometimes I go surfing for particular pairings or characters). And iconing! I am not sure why I forget that I icon, but I do.
5 characters I love and one sentence why 1. (FF7) Reeve Tuesti. Quiet, polite, and seriously hidden badassery. 2. (FF7) Reno. LOUD (but still totally CLEVER) BADASSERY! 3. (FF8) Irvine Kinneas. I really love the layers to Irvine, I mean, just, he's sincere under that front of his and really, I just adore him. 4. (FF8) Zell Dincht. How can anyone not love Zell's earnest good-boy attitude? 5. (FF7) Elena. Overlooked so very much by fandom, and it's really a shame since there's a lot to her character.
(I always feel guilty on these because I list all these male characters and like, one girl. It's not that I don't love girl characters, because I do, I just... latch onto male characters more. They're easier for me to write.)
5 pairings I love and one sentence why 1. Rufus/Reeve. Two men, one city, and a whole lot of fighting over who that city belongs to. 2. Reeve/Rude. This is really a guilty pleasure of mine (a REALLY guilty pleasure since I'm pretty sure I might be the only person who writes it), and sometimes, I add Reno into the mix just for giggles. 3. Irvine/Zell. I like the contrast in how they deal with things, and the way their characters just ... mesh. 4. Reno/Rude. Classic partners-in-love; really kind of a buddy-cop feel. 5. Rufus/Tseng/Elena. ... Yeah, just; LOOK AT THEM.
Themes, kinks, tropes that I really love to see in Final Fantasy fanworks: Worldbuilding. I just. Nothing draws me into a story faster than some seriously excellent worldbuilding and good attention to detail. Also, I like competence. Characters being good at something, since so often, fandom likes to focus on what they're really not. Also, I'm really kind of huge on 'chosen' or 'made' families over blood ones, which works out given the fact that so few FF characters have blood family left. Oh, and porn. I love me some porn.
One ridiculous thought or question I have about FF and/or fandom, to start discussion with my new fandom friends: I. ... I'm really bad at these. Oh. OH, WAIT. I KNOW.
WHO ELSE NOTICED THAT REEVE TUESTI HAS A RIFLE IN DIRGE OF CERBERUS? (Seriously. Pic here. Also, a revolver, but that's not as impressive as the rifle.)
Anything else? I am apparently in the process of putting together a Final Fantasy VII's Turks-based community here on DW, so... if you're interested, let me know and I'll shoot you a line once I get it up and running?
