170 stories, yes. But you do not want to scroll through all of them searching for Azumanga Daioh because there is only one of those. Because we find this a fault in the system, here are the numbers of stories we've written for each genre (Naruto fans, you are in luck, FMA fans, my sincerest apologies, run away.)
Naruto: 94 (and not growing... we've reached carrying capacity)
D Gray Man: 59 (and growing, exponential growth curve, baby!)
FMA:(get ready) 1 (sorry!)
Azumanga Daioh:(run away too, AD fans)1 written by my younger sister (who is in high school... not like teeny little sister)
Misc Anime: 2. Chizuna is a Lament of the Lambs fic but I couldn't find a proper place to put it... there should be one... grr... The other, Rocking Horse, is a Demon Flowers fic (I could NOT believe there wasn't a category)... so there you have it...
Fire Emblem: 12 WHOOT! How amazing and trend-setting after that straight shot of '1's! Possibly look out for more...we've just begun playing so we might be further inspired... might not... we'll see
Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon: yeeeeaaah... another 1, and it's a crack fic, so be prepared... the movie was just so sad I had to write something with Yu and Li married that was funny (I'm absolutely in denial about the whole dying-right-before-antidote-arrives thing... not cool, dude!)
I just had an idea...
I was just looking through all of my fics and decided that I will offer a prize fic to anyone who will read and review all 170 of my stories (or at least all the ones for the fandom they know me from, Naruto or DGM).

ATTENTION DGM WRITERS!! The esteemed Sarahfreak and I are holding a writing contest! Please proceed to my forum if you are interested or if you want more information! A thousand thank yous and I would love for you to participate!
THESE ARE THE OFFICIAL RULES AND CRITERIA! To see the prompt, please go to the forum! :) Also, you can jump in and submit anytime between now and October 1st!! Good luck!
rules:
-must be less than 6,000 words
-No OCs
-no lemons (implied lemons are accepted)
-must be rated T or lower
-must submit within 80 days: Submission will be free range (aka you can submit whenever you want) BUT we are counting on each and every one of you to have enough integrity not to steal ideas or be influenced by others who finish before you! Got it?
Also, when you submit a story leave a post on the forum that says something like "I finished my story (fill in the blank with title)! Check it out!". We (Sarahfreak and the Momos) will not be looking at the stories until the contest closes however because we figured that it would be best to read them all at once while we were in the same state of mind and mood, etc.
-must stay on topic
Note: I will be posting a count down of the days left every ten days. Look at the schedule below to see them. :)
schedule: The contest officially starts on Monday, July the 14. However, you may certainly start before then. :)
Start: Monday, July 14th
10 day mark: Wednesday, July 23rd
20 day mark: Saturday, August 2nd
30 day mark: Tuesday, August 12th (the Momos' second day of school :P)
40 day mark: Friday, August 22nd
50 day mark: Monday, September 1st (the Momos' grandmother's b-day, incidentally)
60 day mark: Thursday, September 11th (Memorial for Twin Towers day in the USofA...why do we have so many significant days coinciding with the contest? I haven't a clue...)
70 day mark: Sunday, September 21st
END: Wednesday, October 1st
No submissions will be judged after the 1st of October but if you want to post unfinished works when you finish them just for your own fulfillment, I'd be more than happy to look at them! :)
IF YOU FIND AN ERROR IN MY CALCULATING TELL ME IMMEDIATELY!! XD
criteria:
-readability (this would include grammar and spelling so if you know those are your Achilles heels go get a beta or something XD)
-entertainment factor (was it a good read? was it worth the time? did it draw the reader in?)
-creativity in concern to theme/prompt/whatever you want to call it
-creativity in concern to character development, relationships, etc.
-elements of writing/ writing prowess (characterization, diction, phraseology, etc.)
-sticking to the rules (does it follow the guidelines?)
NOTE: We think the results will go up about twenty days after the contest closes.
Meaningful (ahem...the word here is used lightly) quotes:
"I think we're all Yullen fans deep down." -from fanfiction/net authoress, KonranKoneko in a PM to me. XD It's a universal truth.
"Because if you realize the only way a Allenalee relationship is going to work out is if they get drunk (if Allen would ever drink) and they have 53X, or if some of the older guys give them support and help them along the way until they reach a stable relationship." -from fellow authoress (I'm assuming...XD) deafvader in a PM to me. It made me giggle to hear that from an Allen/Lenalee fan! XD
"An eye for an eye makes the whole world blind." -Gandhi. Probably one of the most truthful and thought-provoking things I've read on a bumper sticker.
"We seem to be misled about our dreams 'cause dreams ain't what it seems..." - De La Sol (if you don't know don't look it up. Save your innocence) XD Hee-hee...
"All my sandcastles fall like the ashes of cigarettes." - Mayday Parade "You Be the Anchor That Keeps My Feet On the Ground, I'll Be the Wings That Keep Your Heart In the Clouds" . Best damn emo band EVER! -stabby rip stab stab- It hurts so good.
"Love is watching someone die." -Death Cab for Cutie "What Sarah Said". Best damn any type of band EVER! -vacant expression-
"Looks like there's a big one." If you love Kanda you know where this is from (or some variation of it)...
"Why? Does she have a lover?" "She has a brother."- Legory Peck and Reever (squee!) discussing Lenalee in the recent chapter...Damn straight, tell him off, boy! XD
"You go and find him and you get him and you no kirr him 'cause chance is good he is youl rove"- Christmas Eve from Avenue Q "The More You Love Someone"
"My first girlfriend turned into the moon." "That's rough, buddy."- Zuko and Sokka from Avatar: the Last Airbender
"Kanda is class."- fellow ff.net author Sweetdeath04 in a review for "My Fair Lady". XD You all make me so delighted!
Iffen you're interested...
As an author, I know how very hard it can be for some of us to get readers and even harder to get reviews. So this will be a section of 'sort of explanations' for why our favorite authors are our favorite authors in case it helps you find a good read, hm? Also, we may just end up advertising people. Like #1, for example...
1.) Sarahfreak: Omg! Her list of stories has grown from one to three since last I updated the old profile! (heh heh) Pleas,e if Yullen-if-you-squint/ Kanda and Allen or Komui/Reever appeal to you please, please, PLEASE go check out her writing! Sarahfreak is much underappreciated as a writer of only three oneshots but they are absolutely brilliant! I commend her most for her portrayal of Reever's past in "Burnished Bronze Bangles". Please go take a look! :3
2.) Kuro666: If you like Rabi/Kanda (or Lavi/Kanda, whatever suits your fancy) Kuro's your author! Kuro has very creative pieces ranging from angst to humor and hardly needs my shameless advertising given her relative popularity. The piece that I discovered Kuro for, however, was "A-Z". I firmly believe that EVERY D GRAY MAN FAN SHOULD READ THIS!! The most epic and original story in terms of the idea behind it, in my humble opinion. Take a look! ;3
3.) ShadowSilk: If you want a death by laughter, ShadowSilk's profile is the place to go. There you will find a lovely assortment of oneshots and a couple chapter fics for a variety of fandoms, each one equally delicious in its hilarity and artful writing. Shadowsilk calls them 'crack' but they really are a step above and beyond your run of the mill, Kroger brand crack. Take a look! ;3
