How's That?

So three days, three updates... one for each active multi-chapter I've got up, hehe. Today, the challenge word was "Torment," and Reno demonstrates its definition being an annoying jerk to Elena back during their Turk days. I knew immediately when I saw the word that it HAD to involve Reno, lol...


Anyway, I am still not feeling well... just CANNOT shake this damn migraine. But at least I feel accomplished and will hopefully have some incoming reviews to cheer me. Thanks! :)

Updates, Finally!

Transformations got updated with Chapter Four yesterday! And this morning, Tasks for the Turks has gotten an update as well. This is what happens when I am up at 3:30 a.m. and cannot go back to sleep, lol. I am anxious to hear what you all think of both of those and will be sure to reply to any and all reviews I receive. I am feeling a bit better, but of course tired now, haha.

Tomorrow is 'challenge day' over at my amazing Facebook Fanfictioners' group (hey, UF gang!), so Life's Little Challenges should have a new addition some time by the end of Sunday.

I have a new multi-chapter idea in my head, involving events for the Turks that lead up to On My Honor. I will likely *have* to write it at some point, since once something is in my head I have little choice, but I am curious. Who is interested? I was a bit disappointed in the lack of attention OMH received, and I am unsure of whether it was due to the characters, the storyline, or my writing... or just the fact that I had only just come back and many people did not realize it yet. I consider that fic some of my best work and it is dear to my heart... I just wish more people had read and reviewed. Ah well, can't win 'em all I suppose. I still love the story and the chance I got to flesh out some of the less popular characters. Plus the world needs more Tseng/Elena stories.

Oh Hey :)

Hey hey. Sorry I've been absent so far this week, I've had a migraine the last few days, and they tend to knock me on my butt and can last for almost a week sometimes. Plus my brother just had his 30th birthday, and we celebrated a LITTLE too hard, haha. We watched Advent Children, though, which was my first time seeing it. Fun! Anyway... Because of all of that, writing has been slow. I did update Life's Little Challenges Sunday, with something rather comical and a bit 'dirty,' haha. I am working on Tasks for the Turks, I may get it done by tomorrow... We shall see how I feel.

Weekend Updates, Etc

I am almost done with Chapter 3 for Transformations. I've not been feeling at my best the last few days, and it delayed me a little. I apologize for that! But I am almost done the writing, then it will just need a little editting and a check-over by my lovely beta.

I now have TWO betas. Well, one of them is a fish. ;) His name is Reno. Yeah, I'm a little obsessed. He has a light blue body and black head, but his fins are red with a blue outline. He's the prettiest beta I've ever owned. He's sexy and he knows it.

Anyway, I plan to have this chapter up tonight some time. I've not yet started the next part for Tasks for the Turks, but I know what I'm going to do with it. Like I said, my health does get in the way of my writing far too often (I have Fibromyalgia, Chronic Fatigue Syndrom, and chronic migraines). Tomorrow is also Challenge day for my fabulous Facebook fanfiction group, so Life's Little Challenges should see an additon then.

If you are a fanfiction author and wish to join an active, fairly insane group of us on FB, send me a friend request with a message mentioning this post and I'll invite you. But you have been warned! lol

Revamp & Post Script

So I revamped A Mother's Touch a little bit today and reposted it. Not all that different, just polished :)

http://www.fanfiction.net/s/1301563/1/A_Mothers_Touch

Also, I have decided that despite the fact that I have a long epilogue already and marked it complete, there is a scene I want to add to On My Honor. I am working on it at this moment, and will publish it as a "post script" chapter. So if you were a fan of this story about our lovely Turks, keep an eye out for that in the next couple days. (Update: It's finished, and can be found here: http://www.fanfiction.net/s/7872287/7/On_My_Honor  )

Still working on Transformations as well! Probably about half-way done with Chapter Three.

Revisions

I'm finally getting around to re-editing the three prequel stories I wrote ages ago: The Fall of an Angel, A Mother's Touch and Through the Window. The latter was the first I did because it needed the least work, mostly. As of today, the new and improved version is up on ffnet. Please check it out and let me know what you think. Almost no one has read or reviewed it since 2006! Thanks :)

In other news, I did begin Chapter Three for Transformations as well, but I'm having a bit of an off day and need to take a nap before I do anything else. I slept terribly last night, in part because of my silly muse as mentioned in my last post.

Midnight Muse

Dear Muse,

I was trying to sleep, thank you very much, but you insisted upon suddenly going into hyperdrive and filling my head with all kinds of great ideas for Transformations. So I had to get up and I write this all down in my outline. I was comfortable, dammit. But... Thanks, dear. Some of these ideas are really hot. I could never stay mad at you. <3

Love,

JenesisX

Transformations continues!

So Transformations is my newest multi-chapter, the one I am currently most inspired to work on. The story is about Vincent and his struggles with Chaos, and how his current situation is making this more difficult. You know, his long lost love returns from the dead a couple months ago and he has to go from loner to lover, his son Sephiroth is still awkward with him and remains troubled, he's become responsible for keeping watch on the fugitive Turks, he just learned that Hojo is dead by another's hand... Just a FEW little issues. Ha. He's been trying to hide his transformations from Lucrecia, though she does know about Chaos, but it's finally too much for him. Now he's acting strangely and she isn't quite sure why. Lots of drama, angst, some romance, and a bit of an update as to what some of our heroes are up to in Junon Harbor.

The prologue and Chapter One are already up on ffnet, and I have most of Chapter Two written. I just need to finish the ending scene, and go back to edit. And of course send it off to my fabulous beta reader. I think it will be published either this evening or early tomorrow. I recommend adding the story to your alerts if you're interested, as I am attempting to write shorter chapters so I can update more frequently. So far it's been every few days, and I am planning to stick to at least weekly. I'm really surprised by the positive reaction to the story thus far, I wasn't expecting it to be as popular and well-received as it quickly became. I am extremely honored and very excited! The more people like it and share their opinions, the more motivated and inspired I seem to become :)

Please check out the story and let me know what you think! I will always reply to every review, since they are important to me and I appreciate your time. :)

I welcome any questions or comments here as well! Don't be shy, and don't worry, I will never be offended or bothered by anything you want to share, critisism included.

Also, there is a new poll up on my profile! Please take a moment to respond :) Thanks! http://www.fanfiction.net/~jenesisx

Sunday Challenges

Well, it's Sunday, the day an awesome group of fanfiction writers I belong to on Facebook does our weekly One-hour Random Word Challenge. Our leader uses a website to generate a completely random word, and we get an hour to write a story based on it. Last week it was 'overwhelmed,' and today it was 'picnicking.' I managed to get out a 2k word story about Sephiroth, Aeris, and Seph's new dog having a little picnic on the shores of Junon Harbor. It took me about 5 minutes to think up the scenario, and another 55 to write it. Please check it out and let me know what you think!

The challenge stories can be found here: http://www.fanfiction.net/s/8005007/1/Lifes_Little_Challenges

I will likely be adding a new one each Sunday, so you may wanna add it to your alerts :) Thanks!

Welcome to My Blog!

Well hello there. I'm JenesisX, an avid writer of Final Fantasy VII fanfiction. Since I no longer have my own website and have begun writing again after almost 8 years, I decided it might be fun to have a blog. I wanted an easier way to update and communicate with my readers without having to make an enormous profile at fanfiction.net, and deviantart.com is still a bit awkward for me to use. Anyway... welcome! Please feel free to follow me and drop me a line, I'd love to hear from you. You can find my fics, both old and new, at the following locations:

I am currently updating at least weekly. I have re-edited all of my older stories, including Irony of Fate, and finally finished its sequel, Battlegrounds. I have recently written an entirely new multi-chapter story, On My Honor, as well as a bunch of short stories and one-shots. I am now working on another multi-chapter story centered around Vincent, called Transformations. Please check it out and let me know what you think! Reviews seem hard to come by on fanfiction.net, so I deeply appreciate every one of them. Thanks so much! It's good to be back :)
