Anyways, if I were you, I would expect any/all updates by Summer. Which for me, is after June 4. SO if you love my stuff enough to patiently wait 'till then... well, happy summer reading!

Stuff I happen to be working on currently (including the chapters that I'm employing my RL friends--COUGHslavesCOUGH--to aid me in writing. Which is most of 31):

AEP is mostly at the top of my priority list, pretty much because it's gotten so many reviews and its only a chapter long... (Seriously you guys? TWO HUNDRED? Oh my gosh, I think I'm getting heart burn from all the LOVE).
Thirty One is what my slaves are poring over for me, helpful little buggers.

Unfortunately, You'd Be Surprised is the last of things I really, really, super duper wanna finish in time for Summer, so that may be a long while. Be patient, the procrastinator is known for writing like a snail going uphill through molasses while it's raining. Which is REALLY slow. Like, really slow.

2/4/11:

Stories that will be discontinued are now marked as HIATUS and will be changed to DISCONTINUED if I don't decide on a person to hand it over to. My Pet Hot Guys has been in pretty high demand. Just sayin'.

To all those who messaged me whom I haven't been able to reply to: I LOVE YOU GUYS MORE THAN A CUTE PUPPY. And I should be getting around to replying soon if anyone asked me to reply back (like if they had a question or something).

Expect the first few chapters of Thirty One Men In Thirty One Days to be edited and fixed up (nothing to drastic) by the sixth. 'Cause you know me, I'd much rather being reading over Fanfiction for you guys then watching the SuperBowl :)

12/9/10:

Okay.
(my heart's beating like a mile a minute...)

It's officially been a year.
(I think I have enough guilt to last my lifetime)

So. I have a few things to say that I feel is important to me and may be very important to you all as well:
(or not... but here we go)

1) You probably want a reason for the extended absense, no? (No this is not an excuse.)
So here it is:
This past year has very likely been the most difficult year of my life.
My father passed away in September due to a cancer I think I've told you guys about.
But I'll be okay (no matter how hollow the words sound, I swear I'm ok, really).
Life's all about perservering, right?

2) I feel tremendously guilty about not having done a thing on fanfiction.
I kept feeling like I'd sort of abandoned you guys, left you in the dark.
I mean, the least I could've done, was told you guys I was okay.
But I didn't.
So, to all those who messaged me, and asked me if I was alright, and worried about me (Me, someone you've never even met):
I'm sorry.
And Thank you. I really mean it.
To those who messaged me like the crazed little rabid fangirls I know you to be (and love you for, of course):
I'm sorry.
I am alive.
And I do care about you guys. Even if I haven't been around to say so.
:)

3) Perhaps this is the most important. Regarding my stories (the very reason behind you being here.):
It is safe to say that some stories have been forgotten.
Unfortunately they are unsalvageable to me for various reasons.
But some are not so lost.
So, I'm going to list those that I plan to continue (slowly but surely) and if you're favorite is not on this (short) list, please don't beg me to change my mind. I won't.
However, if you wish to take it over, feel free to message me at my e-mail given at the bottom. (Otherwise, it will be abandoned.)
So here it is.
The stories that I plan to finish:
Thirty One Men In Thirty One Days
AEP
You'd Be Surprised

4) Concerning the monstrous project that is Thirty One Men In Thirty One Days:
I'm still not totally sure if I will do the mentioned sequel (or partner story) with the actual TV show included.
The original itself, is already a strenuous amount of work. (More than I would like)
I was thinking, maybe, if I could get a few other Sakura/Everyone authors to help out...
We'll see.

5) Please. I want you to realize that while I am continuing those listed stories, that does not mean the update will be coming immediately.
Because it most definitely won't.
I have a lot of things on my plate, what with school and life and such. (I'm also managing another account on FF with my older sister in a different fandom.)
On top of that, Naruto itself has become a lot less to me than it had been when I first started out writing on Fanfiction three years ago.
This means writing will be that much more difficult.
But I plan to stick to my word.
(and dodge all those curveballs life keeps throwing me)

6) Before any updating can be done, I'll have to read over my stories.
Remember, that it has been a year. And my writing style has matured, I think, a lot in this past year.
I may be revamping the stories I plan to continue (and I may not).
It all depends on how different my old writing was.

7) I'm not sure if, after I'm through with the stories I mentioned, I'll ever post anything new.
As I said, Naruto hasn't been much of a Muse tickler, so we'll see how everything turns out.
But I'm pretty sure it's this, and then I'm done with the Naruto fandom in all.

8) I'm still the same girl I was when I started out, but in some attributes I'm different (in that cheesy kind of way):
As of May 4th, I've turned fifteen. I rather like having a five in my age.
I guess I feel this is kind of significant, because the 11 in my username originated from my being eleven at the time I made it up.
I'm a tenth grader, now. And I have gotten a permit to drive my new truck.
I got colored contacts, so my eyes could be gray.
I still read fanfiction. But I watch anime and read manga much, much less than I used to.
I still thrive on reviews. And I still love to write.
I still love to be random. And stupid and irresponsible.
I still procrastinate like it's nobody's business.
I still hate mornings, and I've recently grown an affinity for coffee.
I'm still a teenager.

9) Anything you want to say (a question, a comment, I love to hear from you guys) can be messaged to my non-fanfiction e-mail:
therandomsuperstar @ hotmail (dot) com
(My PM isn't really working too well right now, and the above e-mail is linked to my phone, so I check it regularly)

10) Lastly, Have a Merry Christmas!
