Oh yay, another .hack fan! I have admittedly never finished the games, but I love how broad the canon is. I think I'm still missing a bit of the later manga/novels but otherwise I've got a long shelf of it all. It's such a unique series.
Me too! Legend of the Twilight was one of the first manga I ever read since it was available in my school library, though they only had volumes 1 and 2 so I bought volume 3 (and for a long time didn't own the others xD I have them now, though, after I had the strong desire to re-read and had left school far, far behind). I loved the PS2 games although I only got as far as #3 (Outbreak), because it was so hard to get hold of Quarantine for anything I could afford. (I must have got lucky with the other three). Now, I guess I can afford it, but I'm not sure if my save data from the other games will still load xD (I still have my PS2!)
I never quite finished watching .hack//SIGN, which I should really do at some point. I also love the .hack//AI Buster light novels and really wish they had a fandom; I've tried requesting them for Yuletide a couple of times, but no takers 😅
I mostly write drabbles and other short things, so yeah. (I'm not good at having huge ideas, just little moments and jokes and filling in tiny gaps.)
Those are my favourite kinds of fics to write, too. I have some bigger ideas but it's hard for me to finish them, so especially in the last 6 years or so I've tried to keep things constrained and write little things, not big multichapter epics. I know many fans can serialise fics comprising hundreds of thousands of words and even finish them and I take my hat off to them, but it couldn't be me xD
