It feels unreal. I finally finished this juggernaut after the last four years, with occasional hiatuses.

Though I have a lore / goodies guide to follow up after this, I need a break from writing. Also, I guess this means I will be back to my main blog sometime within this month. Thinking about it, it was also around May when I first came up with the GSvsAA Comparison Project, all the way back in 2013.

Time is a flat circle after all.

Thank you all for staying with me or at least waiting patiently for my return. The main blog will be back up in due course, but I need to do some heavy reorganization first.

Also, I never gave up on my Blogspot even though it's been infested by spam. For easier navigation, I will be porting over the most important posts from the GSvsAA project there, as I know my Tumblr is kind of a mess now.

I know so little about Ever Crisis, but...

I'm so glad I created not one but two cousins for Aerith. These four are officially a whole gang in my book.

Maybe I should commission more art. Maybe Ruby can be dressed as Majima and Rubia as Kiryu as a fun Yakuza crossover.

Bahamut has his work cut out as a single dad. Now his daughter is hellbent on eradicating this world.

Thank you, @watasemasaru for this beautiful art piece! I have absolutely zero regrets asking to have this commissioned. Just look at it! Stunning.

Final Fantasy VII: Code Radiant is my my FFVII Compilation + Remake fanfic on AO3! Here's the summary:

Ruby Liu is a hardcore FF7 fan who also freelances as a programmer. After one fateful night, she is forced to enter the world of her beloved game and finds a new world both familiar yet unfamiliar. Apparently her old fanfics have become Gaia's cancer, brought about by the wrath of an old resident Summon thought lost to time. And to top it all off, she's drawn the ire and intrigue of Sephiroth, who seeks new purpose for the realm lovingly dubbed the Debug Room and even bullies her as a de facto editor in this new story of Gaia.

Check it out if you haven't yet! It's still a WIP and a long read, but I recently hit chapter 49 out of a pending 77 chapters and it's over half a million words so far. I'm on the course to break new records to have the longest FFVII fic on the site. We're finally moving into a new story arc and finally I can touch on the BIG plot coming up. (I swear, there are no filler chapters, the story is just that long lol.)

I am also anticipating writing an "Ultimania" guide for this fanlore because I go DEEP with new worldbuilding. It's quite the complex mess just with what I have so far. I am fully embodying Nomura with this and I have no shame.

Since I've been putting all my efforts into this as of late, my regular blogs have been on hiatus. To my fellow Ace Attorney fans who joined me since the beginning, rest assured, I will be returning to it when I finally finish with this fic, though I also have plans to begin writing an original work, which will have a much less rigorous update schedule.

Thanks for reading. (Even if it's just this post.)

Hello, tumblr. It's been a while.

Sorry for the long absence. Many things have changed since the past year and I have dedicated the past year's time writing fanfiction. Specifically a novel's length worth of FF7 fanfiction. I am currently up to chapter 12.

Now hear me out. This is a pet project that I have been passionate about since over a decade ago since I first started writing fanfiction at all. I have been unable to stay motivated working on my tumblr blogs as personal issues have come and gone and only more recently I've sought to make it an actual career being a freelance writer. However, I have yet to make a single cent off of any of my works.

I have opened up a Patreon page at https://www.patreon.com/rubia_ryu, but I have decided to remove all translation and writing commissions for now, as I feel like I would have too many things going on to keep up with a consistent schedule. I am not taking translation requests at this time either. For now, if you wish to donate because you like what I write or just as general support, I will be eternally grateful. If I see my Patreon is actually moving somewhere as I work on my fanfic, I may be inspired to return to my main blog project and get through the rest of the Ace Attorney games and spinoffs. But in the meantime, I want to dedicate myself to one primary project at a time, and this one has seen too many delays over the years to keep holding back.

Thank you to all those who continue to follow me even despite my absence. Hopefully, I will be able to return as Rubia the Top Pomeranian once more.

In celebration of my first major milestone, I've come out with an omake to my fic: FF7CR the Abridged Series.

It's inspired by a couple friends who don't have time or attention span to read really long passages of text. Yeah, I know I write like hell for each chapter, so I appreciate every hit I get! <3

We did it, guys. We made it to the end. (Okay, almost the end. There's gonna be one more bonus chapter for the lulz.) It was a journey and a half where I lost way too much sleep and sanity for this one fanfic. To be fair, I did take some brief hiatuses as health breaks, but otherwise, these 1.35 M words are the result of my ungodly obsession with these characters.

Guys, I mean it. I legit cried just writing about Rubia again. I'll save the spoilers, but I hope there is plenty of things in it to make your day that little bit better.

Oh, yeah, this one's another 25k chapter so get comfortable. Also, I updated the tags one last time. But I think I'm gonna keep the "may change tags" until I really am absolutely 100% sure I won't change anymore.
