Jun. 11th, 2014 05:38 amRedownloaded Rockman & Forte onto my laptop yesterday. That's the game I was playing when Mom introduced me to Candy Crush Saga, and never got to actually beat when my laptop broke down. Now that I've resolved never to play Candy Crush again for any reason at all, I'd like to celebrate that by playing the game that I ended up playing less than that one.
As far as writing goes, I still have no muse for writing anything further of Starbound's fifth chapter. Most of the original reasons I started writing Cult have been lost, but I do have other reasons to, as follow:
1) That fic was the first major one (barring SMW2: Yoshi's Island rewritten) that I actually got started with, and has gone on quite long enough without an update for over two years already while Starbound and Parasitic Trio got a total of eight chapters written to them (nine if you count Birthday of Destiny).
2) If I'm gonna pull it off, it would be best to do so while Chelle is still around. Considering that Adalia Glenys disappeared without warning after only a year that I had become friends with her, who knows what could happen to Chelle that I might lose touch with her?
3) Having written a two-part prologue to Cult already, I really would hate for a perfectly good concept and setup to go to waste.
4) To keep a balance between Mon Colle Knights, Pokemon, and Lucky Star. I don't want to be left with an empty feeling that would come with leaving one thing behind to spend time with something else if I ever actually do finish Starbound.
In any case, yeah, I have much more of a plan with Starbound (at least during the middle and the end) than I ever did with what was originally going to be part I of Monster Collection Chronicles. For Cult, all I have planned out are some villains to appear and some kind of final battle, compared to some actual plotlines I once had planned out for MCC. But, that's something I'm going to talk about on 9/11 this year, having failed last year.
Really, though, even though Lucky Star interests me a lot more than Mon Colle Knights nowadays, I don't think it would've left that much of an impression on me back when I was those girls' ages myself. No real interest in hair at the time, and I tended to like stuff more for having at least one main character of each gender (which was something MCK had). Might've still enjoyed it for what it was if its anime even existed at the time (the manga started in 2004, and the anime adaptation still came out in Japan only a few years later), and if I had a lot more access to anime beyond a few kids' TV channels (we didn't know about Netflix at the time).
