I work as a TV newscast director which basically means I push a lot of buttons and call shows. I normally love my job...except when I end up working ridiculously long shifts.

I am a big fan of Ghost Hunt. It is my current obsession and has been for the past few months. While I'm toying with ideas for other anime, at the moment GH is the only one I'm actually writing fics for.

If you dig deep into the Furuba archives, you will also find a fanfic I collaborated on. I did stories ten and nineteen.

The Furuba Round Robin Project

I really appreciate constructive criticism. Chances are if I do something wrong consistently it's because I don't realize it's wrong. I think this also holds true for anything I say too much, or themes I use too much, things that are cliche, etc. I might never know I'm doing it unless someone tells me. That said, please be nice about it. I'm delicate and might cry if people are mean. O.O;;

I know I tend to update only once in a blue moon, and I do apologize for that. I work a lot and actually do update as quickly as I can. Real life just won't let me write as much as I'd like.

STORY STATUS

Ah geez. I know some people are wondering why my stuff is so late. The short answer is that I am stressed and busy.

So I didn't think this was actually possible...but they are automating newscasts. Apparently this is already being done in Japan and we have a partnership with sony and yeah...

Ugh. I am hating work a lot right now because friends keep getting laid off every week or two. They have cancelled station parking at a parking garage so I now have to park 5 blocks away and hike in at 4am (and hope I don't get killed in the process.) I am working on building the computer interface that will make the automation work--and which will ultimately eliminate my job. So yeah...not happy. At all. Oh and my AC has been broken almost two weeks and they still haven't fixed it even though it has been over 90 every day.

All this leaves me little time or working brain matter to write with. I am sorry my updates are super slow, but I have not abandoned my baby stories. I will get them done as soon as I can. Promise. I really will. It is just hard to write at the moment. :(

Gah...one of the updates deleted my documents I had stored on here. :O

This is annoying because I have tweaked some of the chapters--just editing--and now the updates are lost. And my NaNo...the giant story that ate my life...it is gone too. :bangs head against a wall...repeatedly:

AinD - chapter three: This one will be slowly updated when I have time. Really. I have a lot of arcs planned for this...just bad at spitting them out.

Echoes - chapter seven: Yes...the plot is slowly moving. Slowly... I will update with a progress update when I have a better one.

Echoes Playlist: In case you want to look up the lyrics and see what I was thinking when I named the chapters. =D

Living Dead Girl - Rob Zombie

Haunting Me - Stabbing Westward

Enter Sandman - Metallica

(I Just) Died in Your Arms - Cutting Crew

Shattered Dreams - Johnny Hates Jazz

The Promise - When In Rome

Adventures in Dating: is a comedic romance. My game plan for this is to have a series of story arcs featuring various characters and their attempts to date. I'm trying to make it funny and a little over the top while maintaining their personalities. Some ghost hunting may occur, but it will not be the main focus. Once I finish the party arc, I'll probably change chapter titles to reflect this. Various POVs.

Echoes: is shaping up to be a long investigative story. Ever since I was traumatized by reading IT at the tender age of nine, I have wanted to do a story featuring an evil clown. This (pardon the pun) is it. First person Mai POV.

Something to Talk About: I'd say this one is simply my take on the "standard" fluffy story. Not terribly original plot-wise, but I did try hard to keep them in character. What exactly would Mai & Naru say to each other in a mutual confession? Is such a thing even possible? First person Mai POV.
