Still working on the next chapter for DwD, and am also currently editing all fics and chapters for grammatical errors and such

Updated Information about Dancing with Demons and The Ghost and the Darkness

There are several reasons why these two haven't been updated in a while. One, is that I have a lot of research to do for these two, and I don't enjoy that at all, especially all the re-reading of chapters part. Second reason, like everyone else, I've been reading every new chapter of Naruto, and of course, like many other writers on this site, have been saying, “oh yeah, my fic is definitely AU.” If I felt it was only slightly AU before, well, it's completely AU now. I thought, perhaps I should wait for the series to end, and all the revelations to be finished before I continue on with both stories. However, when I get questions like, “Are you ever going to update?” it's obvious that I should go on and continue, whether I like it or not. So, I'm back to working on those two. The third reason is- or more like was, I had garnered a few injuries from repeatedly falling down the stairs at my home, and it took quite a while for the injury to fade away, but that was more than six months ago, obviously, because I've been writing two other fics. However, I haven't really had to do much research on those than I have to do with DwD and GatD.

Sadly enough, I was six pages and a full plot into the sequel to First Place Sinner when I suddenly decided to leave it as a standalone one-shot. I had a title and everything. I still have it, but I'm simply too conflicted on whether I should finish and post it. Sometimes, something works out so well, that making a sequel to it would just cheapen it somehow, which is how I feel about Silence of the Damned. Unfortunately for that, when I actually finished it, all that time ago, I made the mistake of promising a sequel, stating that it was more like a prologue. But months after posting it, I was satisfied by it being a simple one-shot. But...people kept asking for one, and since I had said I would, I felt obligated to continue. Thus, Uzumaki's War.

About Me

I, of course, like many other writers here, wish to be an authentic novelist. Unfortunately, I simply don't have the skill or motivation. Period. Maybe one day I will.

Other goals I would like to endeavor in is perhaps writing a crack fic. I always wanted to write something that would make others laugh, but I find the things that I write that I think are very serious are the things people think are funny. Very daunting. Leaves me wondering if the things I think are funny may not be funny to anyone else.

I get frustrated that all my fics seem to center around pain and misery, especially when I'm actually very much the opposite of these things. I'm not moody, and am quite friendly actually...But men have told me that they are intimidated by me, and I don't know why!

My reading list is similar to my playlist- All over the place. Example- my playlist goes from every song from Enya, to some really cool songs by System of a Down, to DJ Tiesto and Ferry Corsten, to Flyleaf and Linkin Park, to Yanni and Coldplay, all the OST's of LoTR, Princess Mononoke, and Narnia. Got songs from Cusco, Positively Dark, Bjork, and Imogen Heap/ Frou Frou, and I just discovered Florence the Machine. Like I said, all over the place.

I don't consider myself an intellectual, I'm just a biblophile. I have a modest vocabulary, but under no circumstances does it mean that I'm smart. All in all, I'm probably the most mundane person you'll every meet, with the very occasional habit of spontaniety. That's about it, I think.
