Let's make this page a little easier to understand shall we? I need to clear out the clutter and actually involve some real facts about myself rather than rambling nonsense, so here is my minimalist profile :-

Age: 24, yes I'm old...

Gender: Female.

Location: Ye Olde England.

Other fan works: I am an artist. Though, without a scanner my www.fanartcentral.net account is fairly naked, aside from the old Yu-Gi-Oh pics from like three or four years ago. Should you decided to venture into my arty domain, my pen name is InkoftheShadows8678 (sense a whole trend with the shadows thing?)

Current interests/obsessions: I've finally completed the .Hack series on the PS2 (such an awesome series) as well as Okami and Xmen legends 1 and 2 so my current computer game fetish has turned somewhat stagnant. So there are no current obsessive interests at the moment, other than the whole fan fiction thingy. Soon as I get my DS mini SD thingy sorted, I will have Pokemon Platinum, Phoenix Wright, and Death Note games to play through.

Bands and songs I am totally loving at the moment: Three Day's Grace (Seen several other people enjoy this group and listened to them under orders of a friend) Maximum the Hormone (Oh yeah.) Bullet for my Valentine~The Tears Don't Fall, Perfect Circle (it's all good.) Dragon Force. And random other rock/metal/punk stuff.

Now for the boring stuff: Yeah, I work full time and so I shall try to post at least one chapter a week on my stories, if the plot bunnies keep mating and demanding typing that is, however I'm kinda at a wall with both 'Tramps Like Us, Were Born To Run,' and 'Unadulterated Leap.' As soon as I've worked out the plots to the next few chappies they will be posted. If you do decide that you'd like to issue me a pairing or topic challenge then PM it to me along with the rating you'd like to see and a few plot points and I'll see what I can do for you.

Notice Board:

Yeah, I know that several others have done this but I am nothing if unoriginal. Lol.

Progressing stories:

Lapis Lazuli: (Yu-Gi-Oh!) This fic is currently on long term hiatus due to the fact that the concluding half of that fic has been lost in the limbo that is my old Laptop. Until inspiration decides to mind-rape me, this story is on permanent pause. Sorry guys.

Tramps Like Us, Were Born To Run: (Death Note.) Is still ticking. I'm currently working through drafting future chapters until I figure out how to play the next chapter. I have an idea in my brain gloop, it's just the piecing it together that is proving to be difficult.

Unadulterated Leap: (Death Note.) A challenge piece issued to me by Raven Ehtar as well as an experimental piece. Again, I have no plans of abandoning it I'm just at a block. Bear with me with these stories, hopefully the results will be worth it.

Up-coming fictions:

Children Within The Walls: (Death Note) I am aware that Halloween is around the corner and I suddenly thought I could do with writing a spooky fiction. Will be starring all of the Wammy boys, from Mello to Near to Matt to L and even to BB... I have basic plot lines in my head but I need to start fleshing them out.

Through The Fire And The Flames: (Death Note.) Continuing my venturing into different realms of pairings, this is my first heterosexual attempt and shall be a Mello/Halle piece. Have a lot of notes for this so it will happen, eventually... (Lot's of notes for this have invaded my mind. Dominating it over my current on-going fic... but still will not be written until 'Tramps' is complete, or almost complete...)

Sacrificial Lambs: (Death Note) L and BB. Set before the Kira case. Dialogue heavy and mostly an exercise. L visits his doppelganger in his confinement, days before his death. BB has one last attempt at getting beneath L's skin, this time with his opinions of the Wammy House Program as the barb... (This one-shot fic has jumped the priority lists... thanks to Raven Ehtar... she very kindly reminded me of it during a conversation and as I'm beta-ing What's My Name? I am in a very BB frame of mind... so thanks hon... soft glare)

I Don't Miss You At All: (Death Note) Matt. Angsty Matt fic, the guy can't be bubbly and happy twentyfour seven. How Matt deals with Mello and Near leaving the Institute and what ultimately pushes Matt to walk out as well. Rough idea's are swimming but that's all so far. Sadly, as with most of my Matt-centric fic ideas, this too has been abandoned in my mind... sorry guys but not sure if it'll ever make it onto here.

And that's pretty much it for now.

And I'm back. Crisis is over, I'm not homeless for Christmas so yay. I've got sunday off this weekend and no plans to use it for anything that can't be done after work on friday or saturday so sunday is to be used for updating Tramps or working on Sacrificial Lambs, depending on what bites first and what bites hardest.
