Comments: I have always enjoyed writing, particularly fiction or drama. (I do not make any claims to my writing abilities - I just write, I don't have an opinion on whether or not what I write is good - I leave that up to whoever reads it.) Existentialism is probably one of my favorite schools of writing. As for manga, Death Note is my favorite, and as for anime I'd have to say Bleach and Ergo Proxy are my favorites, although I have yet to watch more anime. I enjoy organization and coordination, and try to ensure that my grammar is always correct in whatever I do.

2007.07.26 It's DONE!!! Chapter 1 of Monochrome is updated. and released. It's a feeling of mother and daughter! ... T_T Thanks for the long wait and please R & R everyone!

~Akira~

2007.07.25 Chapter one practically done after lots of work from Akira and some minor editing by me on some important parts of the chapter. Expect it to be released in a couple days. ~Kimura~

2007.07.22 I'm in China, Kimura is in the U.S., this had made our 4th draft progress painfully slow. No original plans brought along with me, we're practically at point zero. But, we are continueing on, Monochrome chap.1 will be updated ASAP. Trying our best, Chap.1 is at its final stage. Special thanks to Anime-StarWars-fan-zach for the 1st review.

~Akira~

2007.07.05 Everyone's been excessively busy, but this project has come to my mind every so often and I'm anxious to get onto it. I'm unsure about Akira's position on this, but if it were up to me I'd like to continue it seeing as we may both have a fair enough amount of free time to at least get some more chapters written. If it's not feasible or possible to continue (seeing as we've all been busy and there will definitely be a stretch to allocate enough time on everyone's part to continue), then I'll say so here on this page, but personally I'd like to continue this story, especially since we all put a fair amount of work and thought into it. ~Kimura~

2007.06.16 Wow! Summer's already here - pretty much... We've all been quite busy, and as a result haven't been able to work on the story, but look forward to it. XD Anyways, until next time. ~Kimura~

2007.06.01 June first! I can hardly believe it's already June. Summer's surely on it's way - the temperature's creeping up and it's starting to get hot outside. Work on chapter 1 done, things are going along slowly - but surely nonetheless. Some more ideas to work on today. Anyways, see you around. Mata. ~Kimura~

2007.05.24 MSN crashed for me as well yesterday. I finally got in contact with Akira, as she had said. I have been rewriting major parts of the plot outline and have been working on chapter 1, which is nearly complete. I shall send it to Akira as soon as it's finished. My thanks to Akira and Near for all the work they put into it. Well, back to work. XD ~Kimura~

2007.05.23 Yay! My msn was crashing all last week and yesterday I was finally able to communicated with near and kimura. I managed to type up the 1st draft of chapter 1- monochrome! I sent it to kimura to look it over and he is currently editing and adding on to it. ~Akira~

2007.05.22 I have yet looked at the plot, character notes and the timeline. I got the flashbacks done and hopefully, they'll fit togther nicely with what KIMURA had in mind. I just want to say, thank you Kimura for taking this so seriously. We all had trips these 2 weeks and he took the time to write and plan out the plots. ~AKIRA~

2007.05.13 Chapter 1 plotting is currently underway. (Draft being written by Akira. I shall take a look at what she has when she's done.) Just finished more of the plot, and of course, it's still in progress, hehe. Will update later. ~Kimura~

2007.05.10 Hmm, the forums didn't turn out to be what I expected. Perhaps later I'll use them and moderate them but right now we don't need it. No point in wasting time and resources on something we don't need right now - this page should suffice. Anyways, still around and expect some minor discussion among team members for the next few days or week and a half. Until next time... ~Kimura~

2007.05.09 Update from Kimura. Just rearranged the posts and stuff. Did quite a bit of plot work recently, as well as finishing up some character information, and some various other (menial) tasks that needed to be addressed but were less important. I've just stumbled across the "Forums" feature and it seems pretty neat. We might use that to post updates instead of this page, but for now this page is fine. I'll try to run it past Akira and see what she thinks about it, but for now I'm opening up an "Updates" section to test. If you don't see it there it means that 1.) I didn't put it up or 2.) I already took it down. Hehe. I'm glad about the addition of our newest team member, Near, and he's always got something interesting to say. Mata ne. またね。 ~Kimura~

2007.05.06 Update from akira, this is like a little talk space! alright! i'm really getting fired up now! i think the plots are pretty much done, or not. i've gotten the first paragraph of chap. 1 done. or somewhat to the point i'm satisfied with. NEW MEMBER, NEAR, ADDED!! WHEEEE!! Hehe, Akira, you forgot to put this update at the top of the list like I mentioned - that way when this gets very long the users won't have to scroll down to read the latest update, hehe. ~Kimura~

2007.05.05 Update from Kimura. Check here for... infrequent/irregular updates. There are better things to do than update this page regarding Monochrome, and you may not even see updates for periods of time while the project is being worked on. (Note to Akira: Follow this format for the Updates section, putting each new update above the old ones.) ~Kimura~
