auronluSo. Months of sinus infections and depression later, I am poking my head back into community. Hello, community! Are you still there? Facebook, DW and IJ have eaten some; others are back in the embrace of real life or other fandoms.
My Muse is flatter than a board, although I am eager as ever to post the next part of Love Her and Despair. While I'm having trouble getting the big battle started, some of the best parts are still in my notes. Will anyone still be around to read the last chapter? At this rate, I wonder.
In sniffing around, I noticed a comment from Renay a few months back asking if I was going to be on AO3. Well, it interests me, although getting my Muse (or, for that matter, my sinus infection/depression fogged brain) back matters more.
After much flailing to remember what AO3 stood for (and thus the URL) I signed up, put into the queue. It told me I could expect an answer on July 18. Great! Wait...that's today. This evening, it says I can expect a reply on the 19th. I'm at #65.
If the queue is being emptied on a semi-regular basis (say, once every week or 2), I might as well stand in line. If it isn't, may I beg an invite from someone? I don't know the etiquette here.

And soon they'll be a metatag, anyway, Final Fantasy X & Final Fantasy X-2 :D)
As for the Kimahri fic...blind luck, and a

Generally, I wouldn't put the little graphics that I've been using to make my post headers jump out (shameless visual plug). But now and then I scribble a fanart to go with the story. Or even a fanvid, to which I could LINK.
AO3 is lovely. I am very grateful to all the folks (including you) who have been laboring to get it going.
