I came across the Japanese KFC (Kentucky Fried Chicken) & Pizza Hut website and it turns out they are giving out FMA merchandise such as an Armor!Al toy, a FMA movie alarm clock and an ED BODY PILLOW if you order pizza.
So my first day of CPhT classes was today, which brings interesting thoughts to my fangirl mind. One, that in the FMA manga, Xing calls alchemy "pharmacy" (at least, in the manga scanlation I read, that's what it was). And two, I was flipping through my shiny new books during class, and fell upon a history of pharmacy, which included the following paragraph (quoted verbatim):
Swiss Influence Paracelsus (1493-1541) was born Phillippus Aureolus Theophrastus Bombast von Hohenheim. This Swiss alchemist changed his name to indicate his superiority over the great herbalist, Celsus. A product of the Renaissance, Paracelsus revolutionized pharmacy from a botanical science to the beginnings of a chemical orientation in the profession. He replaced the four body fluids identified by Hippocrates (blood, phlegm, yellow bile, and black bile) with three chemical constituents of the body. Paracelsus was the prime mover in bringing pharmacy from a botanical to a chemical science. Sulfure, mercury, and salter were the materials of the bodyk and drugs were used to overcome excess acid of alkalinity in the body. Alcohols, spirits, acids, and oils were used and mercurials and other minerals.
O_o Probably a repost of a similar biography, but I found it immensely amusing anyway XD. **goes back to homework**
Just made a dumb quick quiz, I'm not the best at this yet, but send me the answers and I'll check them and reply, tell me if it works.... kinda easy tho..... C:/Documents and Settings/ Marsh/My Documents/ How Well Do YOU Know Your FMA? haven't really been able to work things out on my computer lately so, test it out plz! Thanx to anyone who attempts my stupid try... probably won't work...
Fic that was inspired by kishuu_arashi (my beloved Momo), but all stupidity goes to me. This was originally a birthday fic that was written more than a month ago, but I never posted it publically.
Title: Things That Go Bump in the Night (Birthday fic for jade_pen)
Pairing: Scar/Al
Rating: R-15 for implied sex
Type: Fluff? Humor? Beats me...
Note: As much as this fic seems like it’s in Japan due to the names used, it is not, and neither is it in Amestris. This fic pretty much takes place after the Gakuen AU timeline. The setting is based on a certain place that I currently know very well by heart and like a lot, and the basic plot was inspired by my friend kishuu_arashi. Written in the perspective of an original character, but this is not a self-insert or a Mary Sue.
Title: Gun no Inu (Dog of the Military) Series: Negative Concepts Summary: We all know how Ed entered the military at the age of 12, what about his mirror self? Where did his choices lead him and his brother? A/N: I know this one is a bit shorter than the others, but I shall make up for that with part 5
Title: Gunning the Shot Author: Chauni Warnings: None Pairings:Havoc/Ed Rating: PG Author's Notes: This was written for the sweet, the lovely, the wonderful devils_devotion, who so deserves many more fics. I'll need to write out some more for her...
Title: The Devil You Know Author: Chauni Pairings: Havoc/Ed/Surprise Warnings: Hints at sex Rating: PG-13 Author's Notes: Written on a whim, this is a follow up to Gunning the Shot. Dedicated to devils_devotion and akiha.
Title: Dogpile Author: Chauni Pairing: Havoc/Roy/Ed Warnings: Smut, language, gratuitous use of kitchen utensils Author's Notes: This was a long time in coming. It's been sitting on my harddrive for at least a month, finished about half-way, unable to go any further. I don't know why I got so stumped, but it just wouldn't come at all! Very frustrating. This is a followup to The Devil You Know, and Gunning the Shot.
So I just decided to do a 15minuteficlets thing... just to see how it would go. I think it turned out pretty well.
Title: Headphones Rating: G Fandom: Fullmetal Alchemist Pairing: Royai I've been doing a few other pairings lately, time to get back to my roots. Word: #111
Yay! I finished! I started this a few months back, it was the first fic I'd written for around 5 years. Go me, I'm done. :-) So here's the entire thing in case anyone's interested.
Title: Penance Author: popsiclekitten Rating: PG-13 for angst, language, and selt-mutilation Notes: No pairings
Alright, sorry about the long wait, but here's chapter 2!!
Story: Aetas Rating: Pg-13
Preview: Al waited for the instructions, but something in his brain stopped. The younger Elric’s mind felt like it had been completely wiped blank, encased in a ball of steel. The memories, thoughts and all other things had just become unobtainable. A feeling of lightheadedness swept over him and he could see the ground no longer.
Okay, so, just realized I forgot to post this when I got the artwork... >>;....
I posted it on another group, a voice actor fan group, and just neglected to put it up here. Sorry about that guys... when I get home from Washington, DC I'll post something really... "interesting" for you guys to take a look at.

Okay, I've got the third part of Warped Mirrors done, but I also found an old fanfic I started... in December. I don't think I ever posted it over here, so I'm including it. If you've seen my samurai!Ed fanart, it goes with that story. ;D
Title: Hagane no Samurai Rating: PG-13 Summary: A samurai is waylaid on the road to Edo...
Forgive my horrible knowledge of Japanese, both in the context of history and langague. One of these days, I'll get the hang of things. .___.
I don't know if I'll ever sit and contiune on that story. I want to, but I've lost a lot of my linear notes for it. Gotta find the floppy, first. ^^:;
Title: Warped Mirrors Rating: PGish Previous Chapters: 12 Summary: A regular transmutation goes bizarrely awry and leads to a situation Edward and Alphonse never expected.
Monologue FMA Envy/Ed-ish Pg-13 for swearing Angry. Much with the Envy ranting; MUCH. Angry Envy, voyeur Wrath, and clueless Edward. Done for 15minuteficlets. 480 words
As the subject line suggests, I'm plugging in my not-so-new-community-I-should-have-advertised-a-long-time-ago dedicated to a threesome involving a hobo religious man, a homunculus, and a state alchemist:
I think I've read far to much Shakespeare in the last few years, and it's affecting my creative juices... not that I'm complaining though. I think that things could go in a very interesting direction from here.
Title: Havoc the Loyal, Part 1 Rating: PG-13 Characters: Roy, Havoc, Hawkeye Spoilers: Whole series Notes: Set after the series, after the movie, even. AU I guess. As far as the mention of Meiji, I decided it might be an appropriate name for the Japan of the Hagaren world.
Edit: Fixed a bit of terminology with the gun. Thanks Paul!
