**24, January, 2005 Well, long time no writing. Sorry bout that. I'm going into revision mode as soon as i have time, not much new work is being produced on this end---INSANELY large amounts of school work and the like. On a wonderful note, I have obtained and watched the entire series, Firefly, and I LOVE IT! I have a few of those fics in progress, but they also are on delay until I have time to write for me instead of for class. That's about all that's new on this front, happy readings!** *9 July, 2004
I have finally started work on one of my stories that's kind of almost based on Carrie Shepard's death...I'll explain farther down

I'm in the middle of exploring all angles of Ivanova's death right now...I've been in a really cryptic mood lately. I've got Marcus's pre-death thoughts up, and am working on a multi-chapter fic now exploring Susan's flashbacks and hallucinations while she drifts in and out of consciousness. I may also add Marcus's thought while she halluscinates if I feel the need to. It'll be fun. Also, if I get more urging, I may start writing five stroies exploring all of the different outcomes I saw happening at the end of 'Taken by the Light,' but that would be a trmendously overwhelming project that I don't think I'm ready for yet.

I got the greatest Bab 5 parody ideas on the way home from work today! Not many people know about the collection of poems called God wennt to Beauty School, but it is one of the funniest poetry books ever! So I am re-writing the poems with Bab 5 characters instead of God like Morden went to Beauty School, and Kosh wrote a book and maybe even Lennier bought a couch, and if I should be so inspired, I may write more than one person for each poem...I'm also thinking of doing parodies of Simon & Garfunkel songs with, say, Marcus instead of Mrs. Robinson, because that would be just cool!

So, I have started the wonderful summer job at the family company...yay. That means I won't get as much written this summer as I'd hoped, but I'll still write more than I do during the school year!

However, I have decided that my second summer job, working at the Bristol Renaissance Faire, is the single coolest job on the face of the earth. note, I didn't say best. reason being that we are paid very little and have to buy so much!Despite the hundreds of butterflies I have appeared to swallow, it still can kick any other job's butt!

I've got a few Harry Potter fanfic ideas, most of them dealing with Sirius and Remus (they were such good friends, there was so much potential that was exploited and killed in the movie which was really EW!!) My friend and I are also trying to re-write the entire fifth book based on the fact that in our version Harry has a brain, and also write alternate endings. We haven't quite worked it out yet...but when we do, we'll post it!

The fic I was working on for the Marauder's first full moon has chapter one up. I haven't thought of the rest of the chapters yet, so it'll be a while.

After reading the trilogy about the passing of the techno-mages (B5/Crusade) I've been so inspired. One fic I'm planning will involve alternate lives for Galen and Isabelle, two or three before Crusade, and one, possibly two after, tracing the progression of their souls through the different lifetimes as well as following the patterns and transformations they go through on their way to transcendence.

After reading the Psi-Corps trilogy, I have about six different alternate endings planned out for Bester which I'll write up when I have time. After reading that, I'm even more into telepaths than I was before!

Um, I guess that's all for now--I'll hopefull have some work up soon, so stay tuned!*

Okay, a partial list of current obsessions/SOME favorite books, movies, tv shows, music people etc all together for MY convenience:

Here's the scoop on some fics--

Emi and Gus--I love this story, Please read and review! It's about Remus's life starting about two years after Lily and James are killed. One of the local kids starts hanging around with him and he finds out that her past isn't too un-like his own. It continues to remus's death as fits in the story. I've got the first three chapters done and up, though ch 3 hasn't been properly beta-ed yet, and three more chapters in the works, I've just gotta type and stuff, so stay tuned please!

okay, and now some quotes I have to brighten up your day and make you reading my bio worthwhile...thanks a lot!!

“Yes. That girl is hot. And how do I know this? Because she has the word ‘hottie’ written in glittery letters on her chest.”
~Liz, as a boy, explaining the merits of tee shirts with words

"We don't really know what we're doing yet, but it may involve fire."
~from an events calendar on Sarah’s old church's website

"...My heart is full of laughter...but my mouth is full of cookies..."
-Bridget

"I told you, I'm always right. Except for the times I'm not."
~Isabelle in "Casting Shadows"

"Elric, I think I was asleep. If you wanted to jump into my bed, you could have asked first."
~Burell in CS, there's more to it, but it's hard to explain, so I won't even start...

"To help those who deserve it, to knock sense into those who ask for it, to punish those who demand it, to fool those who are fools, to confuse those who are confused, to right those who are righteous, and to generally be a pain in the neck to all."
~Alwyn's purpose as a techno-mage, as stated by himself in CS.

I'm going to close on a more depressing quote because it's beautiful, but be warned...
"'I'm not angry' Galen said. 'I am disappointed. I am diappointed that we live in a universe of random joy and random despair. I am disappointed that what we do is ultimately lost in the vaccuum fluctuations of a heartless cosmos. I am disappointed that there is not some greater meaning to it all.'
'Galen, I don't pretend to understand it all, but I believe God works through patterns, patterns that intersect with other patterns, patterns that occur in different variations. And I believe one of these patterns is to provide opportunities for transcendence.'"
~Galen and Isabelle in CS. I have other quotes that I feel disprove Galen's, but it was very eloquently written, and I had to pay tribute.

You can e-mail or IM me anytime, well, not IM, but you know what I mean...I like hearing from people..or you could scurry on over to fictionpress.net, and read my things over there if you feel so inclined as to do so!

Oh, and if you review me I will review you, I always have, and I hold to that policy.

well, that is where I leave you for now...toodles!
peace, love, nirvana,
hear no evil, see no evil, eat no evil,
love, peaches, and doughnuts,

~Kai =^_^= (pets both Fündas on the head)
