At the moment for NaNo I'm a little over 12k. I don't mind the wordcount as for this NaNo I'm aiming for completing my

help_japan. I'm a bit behind on that as I thought I would get the last chapters of my Big Bang done by the 15th the latest. My writing then got stalled due to a family emergency and having to get the fourth and fifth chapter of my Big Bang revised.

I'm really, really close to finishing my FMA Big Bang and just need to write out one or two more scenes before the last chapter is finished. However, I'm kinda regretting using my FMA Big Bang story for NaNo. One of the ideas I wrote for the eight chapter I suddenly realize is probably unrealistic and unneeded. Depending the changes I'll do for the earlier chapters and what my beta will think once I send her the eight chapter, the last chapter might need to be rewritten and perhaps I'll need to add/delete stuff. I should be glad at least I'm finally getting this story done and that I do have stuff to edit as that way I have a chance to get my Big Bang up to shape before posting time.

All right, enough of my NaNo/Big Bang rambling. XD Here's a meme I stole from

bob_fish:

Comment to this post, and I will list five things I associate with you. They might make sense or they might be totally random. Then post that list, with your commentary, to your LJ (or just add a reply back to me). Other people (including me) can get lists from you, and the meme merrily perpetuates itself:

Panty and Stocking with Garterbelt
I first heard of that show from

nekusagi and

enigma_shadow1 as they talked about it often back when it was airing in Japan. Curious, I started watching the first episode and was instantly hooked. Panty and Stocking is sooooo crazy and weird at times but the crazy and weird good kind, LOL.

Royai
All right, I'll say straight up I'm not that much into romance and shipping because I prefer friendship interactions. When I do ship a pairing, it doesn't last very long. However, Roy and Riza I love loads and still will for quite sometime. They somehow pulled too many heartstrings from me and I'm thinking too much over my headcanon on them, haha. I guess part of the reason is because there are a few moments with them where I think instantly they're perfect for one another and it's fun thinking over how their relationship (platonic or romantic) will go post series. Also they are very dependent of one another (in a good and OH GAWDS FEELINGS kind of way) and I'm a sucker for those kind of couples, LOL.

Free Food
I love free food a lot as saving money is always a plus! I had worked at my university's restaurant dorms and one of the benefits working there is the free food. Really great especially when you're a poor college student. *_* I'm also used to free food as my dad's former boss would always treat my family to free dinners at his wife's restaurant, LOL.

Marley the Briggs Doctor
Haha, I really quite like the Briggs Doctor the moment I saw her in Brotherhood (watched the anime first before reading the manga). She has this cool personality around her that drew me in quickly. When writing my Briggs Doctor/Riza story Snowed In I then began thinking how I'll expand Marley's personality and also her backstory, which was very fun.

Haha, even though I love Roy/Riza to bits, I'm so tempted to do a crack fic where Marley and Riza pull something like this (thank you

aztecravemonkey for showing that link :P) and Roy looking on in shock. Er yeah, I'm weird.

Frightening productivity on your Big Bang
I already mentioned a few times where I actually got started with my Big Bang in early May and was writing a few off tangent scenes here and there while working on other stories. Reason I started it writing early is because I want to see first which direction I want to take the story before deciding if I'll want to use it for Big Bang.

By the time the sign ups came in August I had a vague idea where I want the plot to go and had been concentrating on my Big Bang ever since. There were actually days where I hadn't written my Big Bang for a couple weeks due to dealing with a lot of stuff and then when I get the chance to write the story I would have a lot of words down in several days, haha.

As mentioned before I'm very close to completing my Big Bang, but the story will most likely go through a few huge revisions, particularly on the latter chapters, so I hope to get everything polished up and ready by March. Got a lot of work cut out for me!
