Well, that officially creams my oft-planned but never-put-to-pen Chakat fanfic. You, sir, win the Evil Precocious Muffin award.

Haha, those were lovely, Ulukai, thanks for sharing! :)

That's okay. I once tried to write Duke Nukem/Sonic the Hedgehog crossover fanfiction. It did not go well, and the fic no longer exists. Thank God.
I'd actually like to read that.

This prompted me to save up for a PC, and by 1994 I'd saved £1000 on £7.80 / week paper round money and birthday donations. I then rocked up with my 486-sx25 and Doom and suddenly it was all worth it.
Maybe she thought it would be disheartening to scrawl over the entire work in red pen. Cats you say? I think my representation isn't too bad given those screenshots.
On Fanfiction: It never occurred to me as a kid to want to write fan fiction. Usually, if I was particularly taken with a game I'd try and produce a clone. In BASIC :)
I seem to recall I wrote about some more 8-bit games in that book, but I'd have to dig it out. I definitely recall writing about (

It's creative, you've got to give it that.
I wrote a bunch of Digimon Fanfiction back in the day; most of it ended up on a website that is probably still floating around out there. It was...pretty bad. I still have it on my hard drive and actually went back to try and fix it up, make it more presentable. It got better, but not by much.

Gotta love the old "Under Construction" GIFs, too. Tripod is probably the last refuge for those, given that Geocities is no more.
And yea, that's rather nice Eva. Bless ;)

And Geocities took my 1990s website with it. :(
(Thank heavens)

RE: The Fatal Frame lemon. It was actually a series of three, but I didn't bother posting the other two since they had nothing to do with games, just my friend's teachers screwing each other pretty much. They were equally batshit insane though.
Revisiting them all these years later had me aching in laughter.
The following links are again NSFW, obviously.

"Hot Dinner" was Ms. Dunn, IIRC my mate's 5th Form "Design Technology" (technical drawings mainly, he wanted to become an architect). The origin of the nickname was that I misheard him saying her name as "Ms. Dinner". She was an attractive lady with massive breasts, hence "Hot Dinner".
Michelle Slang was Ms. Michelle Lang, his 6th Form Design Technology teacher.
"Paul Summerfile" was Mr. Paul Summerville, head of the Technology department. He always seemed like a dodgy bastard, hence "Summerfile".

"GET OUT OF MY WIFE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
I honestly can't remember exactly who Jeneen Harris was, other than she was another of my friend's teachers and she always dressed like a whore. Not a pretty woman by any means.
Jill Brinsley was my 6th Journalism teacher. She was an older lady who always used to drone on about random anecdotes that had little to do anything.

I did Thief fanfics that still exist on The Circle. Oh godddddddd.
