Heya. I'm not much of one to write about myself. Nothing much to say really. That's probably because I'm a fairly boring person leading a fairly boring life ;) If you're really interested check out my LiveJournal. I've never really been much of a writer, but I like to think that at the very least I can come up with interesting plots. Guess I'd probably make a better collaborator or beta than an actual writer...

I'll read just about anything, though I don’t do yaoi/slash. I’ve nothing against it; I just prefer not to read it. I'm mostly an Anime/Fantasy fan, but I'll read other stuff as well. I don't have as much free time as I used to so I’m trying to make sure I am using what little I have well :)

What I'm working on:

Simple Things: This one also hit me out of the blue the other day. I actually caved, thinking it would be a drabble, no more than maybe 2,000 words at the most (which is for me a drabble :D I tend to be very erm, verbose in my writing… ) and started writing this one. I had maybe 6 pages before I realized what I was doing. This one is based on a sort of 'What if...' centered around Kakashi and what could happen if the way he views life changed subtly, mainly of the little things that can eventually add up to larger things :) This is KakaSaku of the non overly angsty variety. - In Progress

Shakes!Fic: A contest entry for the KakaSaku LJ Community that I was unable to finish before the deadline. The challenge was to adapt one of Shakespeare's plays using Kakashi and Sakura. No title yet. I'm adapting 'A Midsummer Night's Dream' with a bit of a twist. :-)

Myth!Fic: Another contest entry I started before deciding to sit on the judges panel for the Mythology contest (again at the LJ KakaSaku Community.) No title yet. It'll be 14 chapters and based on the twelve labors of Heracles. (And no it's probably not what you think.)

One Week: A collaboration I'm doing with Lulu42. Will not say any more since it's something we're working on together. ;-p

Various One-Shots: I've still a back log of written, half-written and outlines of/for various KakaSaku one-shots. I'm slowly working through all these ideas and partially written fics. Hopefully I'll be able to get some more of them finished, beta'd and posted soon!

Status:

Simple Things: I'm ashamed to admit that I am now at 230,000+ words (I've added section breaks between the vignettes so page count is no longer particularly accurate, but there are roughly 300 pages if anyone is interested) and still adding. (For some reason I seem to find writing this fic relaxing.) There will be 34 chapters. I’ve (reluctantly) left my original premise that all chapters could be one-shots at this point.

Right now I am working on chapters 33 & 34. Chapter 33 is with my beta and with some luck should be back soon for first edits. I don't know when I'll get the next chapter up but I do know that it will also end in a cliffhanger. ^^; I'm really looking forward to finishing this fic! Once I finish posting there will not be a sequel – this will be it, I’ll move on to other projects.

Shakes!Fic: I've about 9,500 words and the beginning and the ending done. >.

Myth!Fic: I've an outline (for most of the chapters) and the beginning of the first chapter written, maybe 2,000 words. Just need to spend some more time thinking things through and making ideas line up. Well that and of course actually write everything out. Problem is that I have limited time to write and need to be focusing all my energies on finishing up Simple Things and getting going with my Shakes!Fic again. So for now this one will have to remain on a back burner. :-/

One Week: Lulu's written the first vignette and it's now my turn to do the next part of the fic. Just gotta find my outline and get going with it. :-D

Various One-Shots: These are all in various states of being written. I've maybe a dozen or so unfinished ficlets ranging from an idea (terse ideas jotted in a Word document) to a finished, though unbeta'd draft. Depending on time and beta availability I'm hoping to get some of these done and up soon.

This isn't fanart, I found it after writing Chapter Seven: Sick, but it goes very well with the scene though the artist posted this well before I posted chapter seven. Posted on deviantArt.com Here.

A fantastic commission piece of Chapter Eleven: Favor, entitled ‘Nice Catch’ and done by the wonderful fatpuppy posted on deviantArt.com. Here.

One-Shots:

A wonderful accompanying piece for my one shot Bedtime entitled 'Lights out, kid' and done by the talented fatpuppy posted on deviantArt.com. Here.

Another fantastic accompanying piece! This one for How About Now? It's also done by the wonderfully talented fatpuppy posted on deviantArt.com. Here.

A great piece inspired by Paths named 'Sometimes it's the wolf' and done by the much too kind, Howling-wolf posted on deviantArt.com Here.

A beautiful piece, 'Apology' by paintbrushpluhi. This is the piece that inspired Rain.
