Jan. 26th, 2012 07:08 amSo, Devilraindethz has a stamp under Mai's second pic, titled "Comment before you Favorite". I faved it before commenting, but then I actually had an actual chat with her through the comment list, after responding to a reply of her's to YaminaYugineAtema.
To start with, she mentioned that she would have named Mai's child Tristan, and my first reply to that was that it wouldn't have matched her Japanese background, but might still work if she were to marry a non-Japanese person. That said, I also mentioned my version of SMW2: Yoshi's Island rewritten, where she would meet Joe before setting foot on that fic's quest.
She responded by saying that she's not the best one to come up with Japanese male names, and that any name I were to assign him would override her's, since it was my commission.
A few replies later, I linked her to the fic, but mentioned, among several other things, that Jake's planned version (if he even still intends to write it) will contain a lot more ecchi. She said she'll read it after she finishes page 6 of some manga she's writing, but won't be able to read Jake's version, since she's still a minor. I told her that that version probably won't even be available for years to come, since I told Jake to hold off on it until I have the first and third Makendou games all translated. She then told me that she's actually gonna be 18 on October 25 this year.
Before she specified the actual day, though, (and I did ask for it,) I took a look at her badges, just out of curiosity. Turns out she had 98 llama badges, just two short of the Super Albino Llama status, so I decided to give her one more through each of my two accounts.
(In 1998, DRD's birthday was the day that we all came home from Indian Island. In 2002, it was the night we all visited the Whitney Museum of American Art. In 2007, it was the night that I completed the Demon Shaft in Dark Cloud. In 2008, it was the night that I purchased my copy of Makeruna! Makendou Z (which I mentioned in one of my last replies in the thread). In 2009, it was the day that I beat Byron during my original playthrough of Pokemon Diamond, in one try, using up only one Lemonade and nothing else.)

The other day, I noticed a contest that Nayume is currently holding until April 4. The objective was to draw an OC of her's, and I thought it sounded simple and interesting enough to participate in. After sending Chelle two drafts, she suggested that I draw her larger, given how much space on the paper was going unused. I got started with a third attempt, but gave up rather than to risk repeating mistakes that she had already pointed out, and decided that with what little skill I have, it's not really worth it to bother with something just to try to win points that I'm not even guaranteed to win.
This is exactly why I stopped drawing more than a year ago, and also why Mom got me that drawing book some months later. At some point, I might actually start teaching myself to draw, but for now, I place more priority on learning to read kanji and writing fanfiction.

These past few days, I've been kinda interested in starting over with Mother 3. The objective of recording all enemies and each of their poses for the Battle Memory sounds interesting.
Probably gonna try playing it on the main computer, since Visual Boy Advance doesn't allow regular saving on the laptop. (And no, it's not the game. I even redownloaded Zone of the Enders: The Fist of Mars, and it outright said "Cannot save" when I tried to save a file). Gonna first have to move most of my files onto an external hard drive in order to bring the machine up to speed. Also, even though Dad uses that computer when he's home, that might actually be a good thing, since it will help me focus on kanji at least part of the time.
(Since I'm gonna be playing a game right now, I'll probably ask Jake for his revised copy of the first Parasitic Trio chapter after I finish the game, though I might still remind him to make sure he doesn't forget about it entirely.)
