Edit: Have found one. :)
Actually I'm looking for two of them. I need one person who IS familiar with the Zelda game Majora's Mask (preferably has played all the way to the end) and one person who is NOT familiar with Majora's Mask, preferably has never played it at all and knows nothing about the plot and characters.
I'm asking for pre-readers a bit ahead of time, the story is not yet finished, but it's currently being written at a good clip, so it may not be long. Finished story will be around 40k words, give or take a bit, I'm not sure. It is, obviously, a Legend of Zelda fanfic. It is not a shipfic, in fact characters other than Link do not figure much in it.
I'm looking for pre-readers mostly for consistency and clearness. I'm not asking for in depth critique or grammar nazi-ing, though if you want to give them that's fine, but mostly I'd like to just be sure that it makes *sense* to a non-game player, and that I haven't forgotten anything important or done anything stupidly wrong that would upset a game player. :) So I would be asking you to note down any areas that seem jumpy or confusing, basically. (Or that seem wrong to the game player.)
Lemme know if you're interested! I'm willing to pre-read something for you in return, or owe you a favor, or something. :)

Taking a couple of days off, and I probably won't be on the internet while I'm gone, so if I don't reply to e-mails and other messages right away, that would be why.

As I may have mentioned before, I teach 4 year olds at church. They are hyper, impossible to keep still, and also kind of adorable.
Today we talked about the Bible story of Jesus calming the waters, and I asked the kids to draw something from the lesson during our drawing time. So one little girl draws a picture of a stick figure guy standing in a boat. It's quite good for a four year old, since I can actually tell it's a guy standing in a boat. She shows it to me and says it's Jesus. I tell her it's very good. She goes back to her chair to draw some more. Then she brings it up to me and says it's for me to keep. I noticed that among the things she's added is the world "no" written a couple of times across the bottom. I ask what it is, and she explains that he's going "noooooooooooooooooo". Without really thinking about it, I go "What, like Darth Vader in Star Wars?" And she say yes, exactly, it's Darth Vader from Star Wars.
So yeah. Darth Vader = Jesus. I am keeping this picture forever. :D

20 Chapters.
51 pages.
36,079 words.
And one week of writing.
And it's done! The longest fanfic I've ever done, though when I finally finish the epic ponyfic that will outpace this. But for now it holds the record. :D (Nowhere near the longest story I've written, of course. But the longest fanfic, definitely.)
I'll be posting the rest of it on FA tonight. In fact I'm off to post chapter 18 now. :D

I got the idea to write a Link/Dark Link fanfic, (From Ocarina of Time) just because I like evil twins and I'd seen so many that were done really badly, so it seemed like a good idea to do one that was done well. But I had no ideas for the plot. Then I stumbled over one that was actually really good, and it gave me a couple of ideas. But all I had was a start, I knew how it would begin, and I suspected it would be slightly yaoi-ish, but other than that I didn't know how it would go. I started writing anyway, because why not? And it slowly developed, without any real goal... until about midnight last night when my muse suddenly went "DO THIS!" and the story doubled in length in just a couple of hours. XD
Still not done though, so I guess it's just as well I'm still sick, I can take today and just write. :) Though I should probably try to do a little smidge of sewing, just so I don't get too far behind.
A few chapters (short chapters, they're 1k words apiece or less) are up on furaffinity for anybody who wants to read, I'll be posting several more today. http://www.furaffinity.net/view/789 8000/ If anybody knows of any fanfic communities out there where this would be welcome, I wouldn't mind re posting it. I actually signed up for fanfiction.net but WOW is that site a failure. :P I can't post there yet because they are idiots, and when I can post I'm not sure I want to bother.
Also my drawing muse turned up after a six month absence, so I drew my own cover art for it, for once. :) http://www.furaffinity.net/view/789 8012/

I've been having a lot of vivid dreams lately, but I haven't been able to remember them. Last night though I was dreaming that I was teaching/babysitting a group of Addams Family kids. They looked like normal humans but they were all actually creepy monsters and such. Also somebody gave me a clock that had belonged to Alexander the Great, and even in the dream I was confused by this, since I knew that they didn't have clocks of the tick-tock, mantle sitting variety back then. There was a lot more in the dream, but I can't remember.

Here's my latest creations. :) Very pleased with them. Scoot is about 18" tall, RD is about three feet tall! I'm still tweaking the three foot pony pattern, this is the first plush I've done with it, but it came out really nicely anyhow.
