What? Stellar was banned? Why? Wasn't he a mod?

[Flaze]

Mods can still get banned you know xD but it's okay now.

I haven't fainted because of fear, but I do have a deathly fear of hypodermic needles that has been described as "almost a phobia"

Mind you, I'm fine if it's just a picture or on TV, but I'm only afraid if it is going into me

Whoever's describing that for you doesn't know what they're talking about. A deathly fear is far past "almost a phobia".

Yeah, but I'd figure that a mod wouldn't get in that much trouble, much less regain modship after returning. xP

[ectoBiologist]

well i think he was banned for like 24 hours so it must have not been that big of a deal. i won't get into anything though because i don't want to pry into something that isn't my business.

[Kelleo]

Ah, I see. And don't worry, I understand. :)

[Caitlin]

Methinks it was a joke, looking at the ban reason.

Tophat, I know exactly how that is. The last time I had a needle stuck in me, I was about eight. I was fine when they put it in and gave me the shot (a potent cocktail of vaccines for everything from meningococcal to tuberculosis iirc) but when they took it out everything just went black. I woke up behind a screen about five minutes later. *shudder* I haven't let anyone near me with a hypodermic since.

[Kelleo]

That's...rather odd, Executive Archer. o.O

I've heard of needles making people fall asleep (me included, in fact. Happened with an IV when I was 4 while being hospitalized for a deadly stomach virus and it happened in Germany too, though I don't remember why I got a needle that time for some reason...), but not instantly knocking someone out cold like that.

So I noticed that this topic hasn't been replied to for a week solid. This is making me realise that I haven't worked on my story in almost two weeks.

Damn you, time! Stop escaping me, you insufferab*censored for the good of humanity*

Well, I just haven't been finding many reasons to post on Bulbagarden lately.

But I can say that I've started a new story because of my lack of motivation to work on Super Luigi (no, I'm not discontinuing it. I'll get back to it eventually, don't worry!). It's another Fire Emblem fic, but this time it's not on the Tellius games. It's a fairly short FE7 fic that takes place between it and FE6, its sequel. It's about Sain and Fiora and the family they've started, and Kent also has a large role (he is a good friend of Sain's). Sain and Fiora are married and have two children, a boy and a girl, who are ten and eight years old, respectively. After Kent drops by for a visit, the children are outside playing when they suddenly disappear. Sain and Kent then set out to find them while a reluctant Fiora stays behind in case they come home. They get some of the neighbors to help as well. They find the kids trapped in a small cave due to an avalanche (it gets pretty wintery where they live). More avalanches occur after as well, and Sain says that despite all of the snow, it's not natural for avalanches to happen THAT often in the area that they're in. So he and Kent investigate.

The only problem is, this story still lacks a title. I just can't figure out what to call it. I'm thinking, The Power of Bonding. Because this fic would show how strong the bond is between Sain and Fiora, their kids, and between Sain and Kent as well. But I'm also thinking I could come up with something even better. xP

I still have yet to write anything substantial this month. At work, I get all these awesome ideas, and I feel like I could write for hours on end, but when I get home, I'm exhausted, and it's gone.

[ectoBiologist]

i don't think people know exhaustion as much as i do.

too much work ever since i started school. i don't have time for writing anymore which frustrates me considering i am in this school for creative writing. all they're doing is biding their sweet time by giving us tests on grammar and shit. when can we get to the writing already? goddamn.

Oh, you're in school? I'm working so I can go to school. I mostly do yardwork for hours on end, but sometimes my boss sees fit to send me to help work on oil rigs for whatever reasons. He's also said that soon, he'll be having me drive to the panhandle of Oklahoma, which is about a 15-hour round trip.

I believe Lady Lucifer is still in grade school. :P

I'd be in college, but I never did well in it, so I've turned to job training instead. I get experience without needing a degree, and I can take classes that I want and actually can pass without having to take stuff like math or other classes college requires that I've never done really well in.
