you better be dead
bored earlier, started reading some fanfiction. it was good. ok, it's not exactly literature, but it was certainly entertaining a++ would read again.
then it STOPPED.
eight years ago.
guy wrote 12 chapters, then started revisions, then dropped off the face of the earth.
what sucks more is that this isn't the first time this has happened to me. where the hell are you people coming from? who gets 100, 150k words into a work and then disappears. ok it's unpaid, it's a hobby, you don't have any obligation to your fans which is why i can't get a court order for your addresses so i could kick your faces in, real life comes up, etc.
but really.
EIGHT years?
in EIGHT years, you haven't had 4 minutes to post "rl happening, hate you people, indefinite hiatus"?
all i can say is, you better be dead.
oh and if you are dead - how the hell are your websites still on almost a decade after being abandoned? i would think even the free webhosting services you people were using for your personal ff sites would expire after a couple of years of inactivity.
really.

dear square re: ffxii
there once was, in the halcyon days of yore before the seven came, a game called wild arms. this excellent piece showed that it is quite possible to have an introduction/tutorial part of your game that is also fun, engaging, and even moving. tutorials do NOT need to be ten hours long and so boring i've now had the game three weeks and have only played about eight hours. can't play more than two hours at a time or i start spacing out and wondering when the boring will stop like i do 50 minutes into a physics lecture. it's that bad.
also, the controls for ffxi sucked and it was a bad idea to bring them to ffxii (specifically the automatic camera angles and how they can't be controlled manually in tight spaces). my character naturally shuffles into a wall during the course of a fight (don't know why - automated action supposed to fool me into thinking i'm doing something and having fun?), and the camera refuses to move so i can see the boss i'm more or less fighting because there's a wall behind me. of course i could move. i just think if you're going to automate something, you should automate it right =P
more i talk less i like the game, and i DO own it and i heard i'll start liking it sometime after the ten hour mark so i'll hold on to the rest for now.

and so far it's...
1.5 days clean. least i'm not thinking about it every minute... mostly around when i eat, cause i always smoked AFTER i ate, and i'd be thinking about how good it felt to be full and smoking BEFORE i ate as i ANTICIPATED the food and the cig... hmm thinking like this is probably not good for me at quitting time back to hw! away!
