First FF game: Final Fantasy I on the PS1. (♥!)
Favorite FF game: FFI/FFX&X-2 - FFI is adorable and awesome and has characters I adore and write terrible Mary Sue fic about in my brain, whereas X has some of my favourite characterisation and storytelling EVER. *cuddles it lots and lots*
Which other FF games have you played? II-VI, Dirge of Cerberus, Revenant Wings, and XIII I've started but never finished. VII, VIII, and XII I've completed, IX I played most of the way through and watched someone else complete (=_=).
Which FF fandoms are you now or have you been active in? I'm most active in FFX/X-2 fandom (thanks to my obsessive love of Auron and liking Baralai/Gippal), and periodically wander into FFVIII and FFXII to write about Balthier and Vaan or Seifer and Zell.
For authors - What story idea(s) do you have in mind? Well, I did a poll, and I'm now writing an FFVIII fic I've been meaning to write since before I finished it. ^^; The closest thing I have to a summary right now is Deling soldiers are turning up brain dead. Esthar scientists are being shot at. SeeD candidates are being kidnapped. Seifer and Zell punch each other in the face. (Not covered in this summary: Lunar Cry monsters. Quistis being badass. Rinoa practicising with her sorceress powers. Squall getting a headache from facepalming. Laguna. Make-outs!) ... Yeah, this is going to end well. *cries*
Anything else you think we should know? I've never participated in a big bang before, and I've not written anything longer than 5000 words since I was fourteen and writing terrible fantasy AUs for Yu-Gi-Oh. HELP!

Ha, this is totally my relationship with FFI, too. :)

Ahahaha, FF1 is great for filling out details in your head. :D You should really finish some of the older games, though, I really love them. But then, I'm rather dated. FF13 was fun, too. But the new games like 7, 8, 10, and 12 do seem to be very notable in fandom, so it's not a bad showing. :D

And Laguna! Someone mentioned Laguna in their fic idea! *loves Laguna and all his myriad of flaws* Good luck with all that story epicness. :D Just keep writing until your brain falls out, is my advice. XD

You can do it!! :D Writing longfic isn't that hard as long as you have a premise to support it, and it sounds like you totally do.

[rosehiptea]

I have never written anything longer than 7,500 words. I am scared. But I think I can do it.

[spindizzy]

We can do it! I believe in us! *panics slightly*

[cumuluscastle]

Your story sounds like it has some nice mysteries involved. It seems like lots of great final fantasy viii stories have that kind of premise. I feel like the game itself encourages this, with all of the unanswered questions it leaves.

Also, urgh maybe this time I can post my comment in the right place. That's what I get for commenting when I first wake up. :(
