rionaleonhart: the coffin of andy and leyley: andrew glances back over his shoulder, expressionless. (this is who you are now)
More Andy and Leyley fanfiction! Already! Somehow!

This started out as an attempt to understand Andrew's character better and ended up, uh, just being a whole bunch of incest, which I suppose is the risk you take when you attempt to explore the character of Andrew Graves.

The Coffin of Andy and Leyley really grabbed me, as you can probably guess from the fact that I'm posting a fic the day after finishing the game. I can't stop thinking about these two! They're such a mess!

[personal profile] doreyg tagged me to answer these questions about fanfiction on Tumblr, and I thought I'd post my responses here as well! As I originally wrote this for a Tumblr audience, I'll probably end up reiterating some things I've already said on here.


How many works do you have on ao3?

On my main account, Riona, it’s 234. I also have 130 works across two pseuds on my secondary account, rionaleonhart (for older works and ficlets), so in total I’ve posted 364 works to AO3.

What’s your total word count?

My combined total on AO3 is 1,136,030 words. If I look at the documents in which I keep all my writing archived, it’s slightly higher - 1,266,834 words - because I haven’t posted everything I’ve ever written to AO3.

What are your top 5 fics by kudos?

My most popular fic, by a long way, is And Again (Danganronpa, Naegi is caught in a time loop, 7,227 kudos). This was the first fic I ever posted to AO3, and I was startled by the way it blew up! For a while I was slightly intimidated to post anything else in case I let everyone down.

The others in the top five: Life Imitates (FFXV, Noctis/Prompto, 5,566 kudos), Vessels (Deltarune, 2,635 kudos), Visitors (Assassin’s Creed/Sense8, 1,607 kudos) and Memory Error (Doki Doki Literature Club!, 1,551 kudos). Most of these were an accident of timing: I happened to post just when the fandom was starting to get big. The exception is Visitors, which mainly picked up readers because it ended up expanding into a vast cowritten series.

Interesting to note that four of my top five fics are gen; I wasn’t expecting that!


More talking about fanfiction. )


I've really slowed down on writing crossovers, thinking about it. I should send someone to Silent Hill at some point; it's been years!

I've just played The Coffin of Andy and Leyley, on the recommendation of two separate people who thought it seemed like my sort of thing.

It is, it turns out, exactly my sort of thing.

The Coffin of Andy and Leyley is a game about the fucked-up and murderous adventures of a pair of codependent, traumatised, isolated siblings, a concept so calculated to appeal to me that it's a wonder I've ever bothered to play anything else. I love sibling relationships, I love characters being isolated in tense situations together, and the game kicked off with 'so, hey, these siblings have been trapped alone in their home for months'.

I was in love within twenty minutes. I'd barely played for an hour before I was sketching out fanfiction.

More detailed thoughts under the cut! Heads-up: I ended up shipping the murder siblings, and you will find discussion of (fictional) incest here.


Thoughts on The Coffin of Andy and Leyley. )


And with that I've played all of the game currently available!

Wow. It's been a while since I came across a story that felt so laser-targeted at me. 'Dark content, an irreverent tone, genuine and intense emotion' is such a good combination; it's why I fell so hard for Danganronpa as well.

I don't know when the remaining chapters will be released, but I love the hell out of the ones we have so far. Awful stuff in the best way.

Q: Riona, do you really have time to write mini-reviews of every game you've ever played?
A: I absolutely don't.
Q: And yet.
A: And yet!

Some of these are more just reminiscences than reviews, but I've said at least a line or two about every game. Possibly. I've almost certainly forgotten about some.

For the most part these are listed alphabetically, so you can easily track down any games you're interested in, but games in a series are listed together, so, for example, 9 Hours, 9 Persons, 9 Doors, Virtue's Last Reward and Zero Time Dilemma are all under Z for Zero Escape, and World of Final Fantasy comes under F. I've put a (LP) next to games I've only experienced through Let's Plays. Flash games, text adventures and electronic versions of card, tile or board games are not included.

Games I first played after originally posting this entry are marked with an asterisk.


Thoughts on every game I've ever played, or close enough. )


I'm glad I've put this very important and necessary entry into the waiting world.
