Other places I’m looking for awesome fandom friends:[twitter.com profile] jackofquills. My Twitter is fannish mostly.

FF canons I’ve experienced: FFI, FFIII DS, FFIV (including the shitty SNES version from ye olden dayes, which is when I first played it), FFV, FFVI, FFIV: TAC, FFVII, FFVII:AC, FFVIII, FFIX, FFX, FFT, FFTA, Vagrant Story (which I'm told sorta counts?) FF:SW
FF Fandoms I’m active in: FFIV and FFVI for the most part.
Ways I participate in fandom: Writing, reading, flailing around. I draw a little.

5 characters I love and one sentence why
1. Edward -- He has absolutely none of the skills required for a Standard Video Game Party Member and is also surprisingly non-angsty for someone whose life pretty much sucks all the balls
2. Rydia -- monsters + girls = best
3. Setzer -- because apparently swooping into the middle of an opera and kidnapping the soprano is a typical day for him
4. Locke -- because I imprinted on Robin Hood at an early age and thus I love 100% of all gentleman thief characters
5. Luca -- she is a dwarf princess with pink stompy boots, come ON

5 pairings I love and one sentence why
I AM HAVING TROUBLE NARROWING THIS DOWN
1. Edward/Rydia -- this is the OTP of my soul.
2. Setzer/Edgar -- "Have we mechanically optimized sex yet?"
3. Scarmiglione/Cagnazzo -- I don't have any explanation for this one, I'm sorry. I ship all of the fiends with each other and with everything, generally speaking
4. Edward/Cecil -- it's like a knight and a damsel, only infinitely more hilarious
5. Rydia/Rosa -- come on, look at them

Themes, kinks, tropes that I really love to see in Final Fantasy fanworks: Game mechanics meta, worldbuilding, creepy stuff, monsters, hijinks, h/c, noncombat characters doing noncombat-y things, kinky porn (especially when it's really really IC and makes so much sense). Tentacles. Xeno. Bards and literature and fake bibliography and other in-setting literary things. Stuff that really delves into some fucked up things that aren't explored in canon as deeply (Golbez I'm looking at youuuu). Insane fanon.

One ridiculous thought or question I have about FF and/or fandom, to start discussion with my new fandom friends:
Why don't the doctors just pick up the fucking harp and bring it to Edward rather than standing back and letting him crawl painfully across the floor on his broken legs? I mean seriously.

Anything else?
I sometimes go for long periods without posting. I'm sorry. Also, I'm sort of hugely into WoW right now, which I guess is my other big fandom.
