Another fanfic that I finished today. I’ve been writing it for a little while and actually started it longhand when I was at my parents right after my dad was injured, did a lot of writing while delayed in the airport coming home.
This one is an OC again and I reused the name of my main character from my FFVII:AC story “Memories.” I just happen to like the name and it worked. I have another GitS story in progress (different OC) as well as the “origin” story of the OC from this story as well. One down, six more in-progress stories to go. I need to buckle down if I want to finish all these. Here’s this one though, as posted over on Fanfiction.net.
Why death penalties are necessary for PvP.
Death penalties should be seen as a necessary part to both PvE and PvP, providing a sense of consequence to ingame actions. Granted, dying is not always the result of bad player decisions; mob respawn, runners bringing adds, overpulling, etc. can all lead to player deaths. Without any penalty, players would simply be able to suicide run their way through content. Having at least a minimal penalty helps teach the player to be a bit more careful in the future. Yet, games that have little or no penalty for dying are generally seen by a majority of players as more “fun” or “better” to play. Why is this?
He was a bit more responsive/awake yesterday. He opened his eyes and turned his head towards me when I came in and talked to him and when my mom said she wished she could give him a hug, he tried to lift his arms to her. That’s good news all around. He’s been pretty zonked out today, but that’s not necessarily bad.
Well, for the second time this month, I’m back home at my family’s house, staying with my parents. This time, it’s for my dad.
Saturday morning, my dad was burning brush in the backyard (hometown allows burning). He stepped in a hole and fell face forward into the fire. Right now, he’s in the burn unit ICU at St. John’s Mercy hospital in St. Louis with second and third degree burns on the upper half of his body. Basically from his navel up, both arms (one arm has a huge gash along it as well) and hands, shoulders and upper back and his face is burned. It’s mostly second degree burns on his face, luckily.
Title: Conversations in Winter
Author: Rhyssa Fireheart
Pairing: Zolf J. Kimbley/Ellorie Sandersen (OC)
Fandom: Fullmetal Alchemist
Rating: T
Disclaimer: I still don’t own FMA or anything but the plot and my OC.
Notes: I’m sure there is rampant OOC-ness in most of this, but since there isn’t a huge amount of “official” canon to go by, I’m making it up as I go. A continuation of sorts of my story “Conversations by Starlight.” This one is also manga-verse, after chapter 67.
