This is so that others can find the original icon/wallpaper. Minor cosmetic changes include removing, adding or changing the color of the outline (aka a stroke), removing or adding text or using filters/levels/light effects. Thank you.

I am just playing and not making any money. In other words: All Disclaimers Apply. Conversely, I, PrettyGothGirl, have compiled the Desert Rose Fanon, if one would like to use, please ask first. The worst I can say is no. Thank You.

I'm currently am trying to build a Wiki for the Al Bhed Culture I have created for Desert Rose (and seems to want to sneak into half a dozen other stories that I'm working on). In reality, I know nothing about building wiki's. I'm good at organizing, if and only if, I have an understanding of the system. Alphabetical, color, numerical, I'm there, that's why the outline makes sense to me.

So, in the spirit of starting at the beginning, if you went to the very first page, the index, of a wiki dedicated to an entire culture, what would you want to see?

example of wiki's are: (ignore if you need to)

http://wiki.guildwars.com/wiki/Main_Page
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Main_Page
http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/HomePage
http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Main_Page

The problem is, none of the above wikis are the culture of a single people.

And this is currently what The Al Bhed Wiki (yeah, not very imaginative) looks like:

Title: Gut Punch
Series: Quality Time
Author: prettygothgirl
Rating: PG-13
Pairing: Rikku/Gippal
Warnings: None
Words: 1,624
Summary: Cid contrives to have Rikku and Gippal spend some quality time together. Chapter 22: Yoorvin reveals his plans, Gippal admits he’s a traitor and Rikku gets in her metaphysical punch to the gut.
A/N: And now xXx! Vin Diesel, yum! Such a great/horrid movie. I love it to bits. Not much to say about the chapter. And did you know at fanfiction.net they've taken out the email section in anonymous reviews? I'm kind of pissed. Now there is no way for the people there to get your email without having an account. Why have anonymous reviews in the first place? /rant

Words: 1,750
Summary: Gippal makes a promise in an effort to get out of another promise. Gippal shows up at Rikku's with dinner and Rikku won't stop talking about puppies and makes hints towards other things.
A/N: So, back in 2006 I got bogged down at this part, thankfully I never did delete it! I don't really enjoy writing eating scenes unless they are important. In fact, I highly recommend not writing every meal. Anyways, lots of dialogue which is my drug sometimes. So this is the new part two!

Title: Sweet Distracting Revenge

Pairing: Rikku/Gippal
Warnings: None
Words: 1,362
Summary: Cid contrives to have Rikku and Gippal spend some quality time together. Chapter 21: Gippal’s plan for distraction doesn’t work out as well as he hopes, as Rikku works in some just vengeance for his treatment of her.
A/N: Happy Birthday pearlrose86! I am trying to be more disciplined in my writing/hobbies. We'll see how long it lasts. And I do plan on drawing Rikku's dress before I finish posting the five or so chapters she wears it in. That way, I can stay away from the purple prose as much as possible. Oye. And we continue our treatment of Casino Royale!

Title: Saving Home

Rating: T
Pairing: Gippal/Rikku
Warnings: None
Words: 1,233
Summary: Slight AU: On the airship, Rikku knows someone, and Tidus wonders what this guy who wants to save home is to her.
A/N:Happy Birthday sixpoint! This is a slight AU, more of a 'what if' story. It also is the last prepared thing I have from my hiatus. *grimaces* Translations for all the Al Bhed are at the bottom.

Title: Mirrors
Series: Quality Time
Author: prettygothgirl
Rating: PG-13
Pairing: Rikku/Gippal
Warnings: None
Words: 1,048
Summary: Cid contrives to have Rikku and Gippal spend some quality time together. Chapter 20: Rikku stares into a mirror and contemplates why she is here and Gippal wishes for a better mirror.
Truncated A/N: Happy Birthday kj_mom! This was supposed to be an interlude and it turned into a chapter. So, the last interlude was the err, last interlude for a while. YAY! And yes, I'm looking for someone to bounce story ideas with. Qualifications listed here.

( reflections with few answers )

I am looking for someone to discuss all my fandom story ideas with, hell, even original if you're up to it. Important qualities would include the ability to put up with my fiction schizophrenia, patience (with me and the fact that a lot of my ideas won't be posted or written right away), creativity, enjoyment of idea bouncing, motivational skills (these include begging, asking, or pissing me off), and a realization that this means most likely not being surprised by anything long I write (one shots are iffy on whether or not I'll talk about them before I write them). Grammar help is good but not as important.

Talks don't have to be restricted to fandom, we can talk about life too, however I'd like someone to discuss fandom ideas/plots etc with on a regular basis.

This is pretty much an all access pass to my brain. Email, PM, or comment here if you are interested. Thanks.

PS. The lastest chapter of Quality Time is up at Fanfiction.net. It shall be posted here tomorrow.

Okay, I didn't mean to do more of these. I really, honestly didn't. However! I was tired of my old LJ layout, went to white for a few days and then came up with an idea for something along the lines of "Burning Love." Oh don't ask. So, some Rikku/Gippal icons and Gippal Icons in the "dancing in the flames" format. *sigh* Once again, flame brushes and textures courtesy of Obsidian Dawn.

Okay, are we ready for some FIERCE icons?! Well, 1frickengirl found the October image of my 2009 calendar fierce and here finally are the icons that month was based upon. And I must admit, I love these icons. Though they were a bit of work to make. Fire brushes and textures are courtesy of Obsidian Dawn. Poses may be found here under bw11.gif to bw68.gif. And some of them are really cute. She looks like she's dancing and it's awesome. Check 'em out. As usual, other wallpaper sizes available by request.

Title: Passions
Challenge: "We're trying to get the funny man out of the well." "Trying to get the funny man out of the well. Well, that's one I've never heard before." - fae_of_the_rose
Author: prettygothgirl
Rating: G
Pairing: Gippal/Rikku
Warnings: None
Words: 1,113
Summary: Not so little Gippal has fallen down the well, and it's up to Rikku and her helpers to get him out.
A/N: Based in the same setting as Desert Rose. And yes, all I could think of sometimes when writing this was Spike in Buffy saying. "Passions is on, little Timmy's fallen down the well and if you make me miss it!" Thus, the title.


( Rikku doesn't find the funny man to be that funny. )

Title: Emergency
Author: prettygothgirl
Rated: R
Pairing: Gippal/Rikku
Warnings: Nudity
Words: 1,050
Summary: Gippal is enjoying a nice, quiet sunny morning, when Rikku interrupts.
A/N: Happy birthday andromeda3116! Sorry it's late. No, this isn't my first line challenge piece. This is what happens when you read too much Anne Bishop. Inspired by the opening of the short story "The Warlord Prince of Ebon Rih" in Dreams Made Flesh. I know Anne isn't for everyone but the short stories are relatively free of violence. Relatively.

Warnings: None
Words: 929
Summary: Cid contrives to have Rikku and Gippal spend some quality time together. Interlude 22: Gippal corners Rikku and tries to manipulate her into his way of doing things.
A/N: Happy Birthday ninja_butterfly! Sorry, sorry, I meant to update this sooner. I have excuses and to me they are good ones, but they shouldn't keep me from doing what I love to do. *sigh* Anyways, Quality Time onward... or is that Quality Time Hoooooo!

( Gippal should know better than to try to make Rikku's choices for her )

So, in comparison with all the other icons I've made with these files. I think these are the most simple. To be optimistic that means it's much easier for you to add words to them if you'd like. As in the third preview picture. LOL So as usual the poses are here under rw##.gif.

Title: Ridiculous Obsessions
Series: Desert Rose
Author: prettygothgirl
Rating: M
Words: 4,204
Pairing: Rikku/Gippal
Summary: Love is like the rose, it only thrives with tender care and a little adversity. Part Twenty-Nine: Gippal receives an assignment from Rin that seems to have no purpose and Lynnia determines she has to get him back.
Author's Note: Based off an Al Bhed Fanon Or in short, the Al Bhed are a nomadic tribal culture based in Bikanel with no contact with outsiders, for those who don't want to brave the 20 page document. Thank you to Jezzi for helping me come up with something silly for this chapter and for betaing. Thanks to Vegetasprincess for betaing and for Kylie for her wonderful review!

Summary: Cid contrives to have Rikku and Gippal spend some quality time together. Interlude 20: Gippal tries to talk to Rikku, and Shinra gets suspicious.
A/N: Happy Early Birthday mandyiam! Rikku and Gippal aren't doing too well with this keeping things a secret. Since, it is so short, I shall have to post more soon. :) If you haven't yet, you should considering nominating in Best of Rikku/Gippal 2008. taking requests! And does anyone know if Underworld 3 has any good 'love' scenes?

Title: Keeper 2

Pairing: Gippal/Rikku
Warnings: Nudity
Words: 2,614
Summary: Rikku thinks Gippal needs a keeper, Gippal didn't want to have anything to do with, too bad Rikku is good at persuasion, but now he has to think about it all and decide what to do about everything.
Author's Note: Happy Birthday asian_amy and Happy Valentines day to all! Hope you have a good one. I was having a hard time deciding what to post today. QT is in angry mode and DR is in silly mode. And well, this is sort of romantic. And I posted the first part of this back in March last year! Let's hope I can do better with the third part and not wait eleven months.

( it was the inevitable second thoughts and serious conversations )

Because of the scale of Machina Maw, these were harder to crop and re-size and all that jazz. Thus a lot of these are a close up of Rikku on Machina Maw and then a far away of her and the machine together. LOL And I liked one of the poses so much, she seemed in this serious "guardian" mode I made a wallpaper of it. Someday there might be a fic to go with it. I don't know. *kersigh* Too much to do. So, the poses are here under vw##.gif (I think I was trying to be amusing) and the site images were made by me based on Casino Royale's opening. :$
