Hey ya'll who still wonder if I'm alive. I'm alive and well, but just totally swamped with life in general. I haven't forgotten any of you or my stories, and I haven't found time to reply to the great reviews/pms I still get. I don't know when, but I will definitely finish my damn stories! And those other 1000 plot bunnies I scribbled in my plot bunny notebook...

By the way, if you guys have nothing better to do than to wait for me and a gazillion other authors to update their wonderful stories, go watch Guilty Crown. Yuzuriha Inori rocks and the OST is mind-blowing (GO SUPERCELL!). It needs more love so we get a 2nd season or OVA faster. My endorsement doesn't mean that it's the best anime out there (it was actually fairly mediocre, considering the high bar that was set from the preview release...), but it did hold my attention and gave me some stuff for my mind to chew on.

Recommended Book: Ender's Game by Scott Oricon Card. It's absolutely mind blowing! Just wow! Don't turn it away just because it's classified as a "sci-fi" book though. It's so much more than just a science fiction book. My muse, who is very difficult to impress with literature (she's... critical to a fault), absolutely adored it, and she introduced the book to me. I want to introduce it to the rest of you :)

Stories:

The Tree Spirit: Honestly, this was the very first KHR fic that I earnestly wanted to write. Unfortunately, it developed very differently than how I wanted it to. That being said, it's going to be rewritten- all of it. Probably I'm going to delete the current story and then reupload the rewritten version because it'll be radically different. I have no idea when this is going to occur, but it will happen. I'm planning for the rewritten version to be slightly darker (I may fail at this attempt). I have also decided to adhere to this site's definition of an M rated story. Meaning no lemons; those can be found aplenty at the adultfanfiction site.

Pentagram: I love this story. You have no idea how much fun I had writing this. Therefore, I can guarantee those waiting for updates that this will be updated, I just have to find the time to do so. I may rewrite this one chapter a little because the fast pace does bother me, but we'll see.

Operation Hogwarts: Meh... I'm feeling so-so about this one. There are just too many possibilities when you do crossovers and I didn't plan enough on this one. Or, better yet, I didn't want to box myself in with a very narrow plot and then left too many open avenues. Now I don't know which direction to head in. This'll either be scrapped and reformed or heavily modified. Usually scrapped works out better, even though it takes more time.

Completed:

Head Trauma: This story will be staying as a one shot. It was supposed to be for Metamorcy's Fon27 competition that took place a long time ago (very long time ago...) but I never had time to actually write it up. Oh well, it's here now.

Current Top Pet Peeve: Normally, this top spot is reserved for stories with OC x _ pairings, but now something else extremely irks me. I don't appreciate people who review and leave a sort of... generic message; something that is "copy pasted," in a way. I've received reviews about the red button and a black out day thingy concerning FanFiction's conduct. If you feel that strongly about a subject, at least take the time to PM me. When I see a review, I want feedback about the story that I posted up, not about some otherwordly conflict. Yes, it may seem rather narrow minded of me, but reviews are meant for the story, PMing is meant for the author. Eh, I ranted, but it's very disappointed to expect feedback from something I've worked on and instead get a "Attention Authors..." Boo :(
