bouteillebleuWell, not much achievement, but I finished one of the essays I have to do in preparation for Linguistics next term ("Compare and contrast inflection and derivation in linguistic morphology" - what fun), and started on a random semi-serious Zelda fic about Ruto.
Even though the stuff I've written before with a friend (very silly, out-of-character and badly written, but great fun) has characterised Ruto as a whiny and annoying idiot, she's actually not too bad to write. For one thing, she's got more of a personality than more of the characters... Ocarina of Time, as a game, was not hot on characterisation. Mostly because it wasn't an RPG, I think. Anyway, it looks like fun to write, and there's going to be an amusing encounter with Sheik later on - which was really the point of the fic. Ruto mistakes Sheik for Link and starts getting clingy, and Sheik gets very embarrassed. Ah, the fun of having crossdressing characters.
