Hello, I am a girl living in Alaska with less time on my hands than I'd like in which to write. So far I have only written Inuyasha Fan Fiction, I seem to be running through my take on all the "What ifs?"

Any way I do hope that at least a few people out there like my stories.

I hope no one minds too much but I'm going to step up on my soap box for just a second. First I want to thank all the people who have taken the time to read my stories, and to those of you who reviewed, a much larger thank you.

Now I can't say this is the case with everyone, but when I read a fan fic, and like it, I always leave a review, the only time I don't is if I didn't like the story for one reason or another. I for one am a very unsure writer, and easily believe that I am not doing a good job at it, so when I see so many people have read something of mine while so few took the mere seconds it takes to review I get worried. Now I am not asking everyone who is reading this to run out and review all my stories. I am just asking that you consider how much those reviews mean to ALL the writers on this sight. You are being given some wonderful stories to enjoy at no cost, no books to buy, or dvd's to rent. Please just consider giving the authors a little bit of encouragement in trade. I can only speak for myself but when I posted the newest chapter of my story and only got 2 reviews... well I was crushed. Wondering what I did wrong, did the chapter suck? All in all I really didn't feel like stepping back into the world of that story to start the next one... I will, because I will never willingly leave a story unfinished on this sight, but it will not be with as eager a heart as in the past when I was getting such wonderful support. I know I should only write for myself, but I have done that most of my life and it lead to a lot of stories that live only in my head, if I am not going to share them why write them down?

It is such a small thing and I know I'm not the only writer who really, REALY likes their reviews. Anyway thanks again and sorry. Getting off the soap box now and putting it in the deepest darkest corner of my closet where you will never have to see it again. Take care everyone.

July 30th update:

Life is dragging me and my story down... but I am working on despite all that. I am so sorry to all my readers who are waiting for the update. It's been hard to find time to write and with all the time that's gone by it's hard to just step back into the world. I got some more written today but unless my schedule clears up (down to the one job now but someone quite so I'm putting in a lot of overtime.) it is going to be much longer than I'd like before I finish the chapter. I just want everyone to know that I am still working on it the next chapter of 'Taken' will be up as soon as life (and my Muse) lets me do so.
