CT: Well. Mt. Fuji is a pretty tough, and very cold climb. Starting at station 5 it will take five to six hours non-stop without a break or rest(which is darn near impossible, since it took me about 24 hours round trip. LOL! ). By the time you get past 8th station, the air starts thinning out and you get very tired very quickly. Ontop of that, it's cold enough that you have to wear long sleeves. By the time you reach the summit, it's way below freezing and there's icicles on rocks. By then I was wearing a down coat and gloves. xP
Serris: My inspiration for that fanfiction was really my interest in sci fi games, like Doom 3 and Halo. As well as movies like Aliens and Starship Troopers. I still like Science Fiction stuff now, but I'm leaning more towards original work rather than fan work.
