Please have patience I am very much a Sagittarius and tend to be distracted easily by shiny objects and random plot bunnies.

Story Notes:

The Firefly Chronicles- This is the one I am proudest of. Admittedly the first few episodes are not as strong as I would like and it took me a minute to get the hang of inserting Riddick into the series, but I stand by it one hundred percent. Now nearly 600,000 words in, this one is my obsession, and for my new readers, this is the most active story I have at the moment. We're nearly through the series now, but we still have a long way left to go. I have a lot in store for ya'll and hope you bear with me in the coming months, as my wedding draws closer gaps in between installments may appear. I do try to give you a decent chuck of completely original material when I can, and as we draw closer to the Riddick arc that amount will drastically increase, it just takes a bit more time than the series/movies' storylines do.

The Beast and The Ballerina- In the beginning stages of a re-write, and I'm really looking forward to the publishing of the updated version, which will include an all new prelude and what I hope is a much more solid and defined plot-line. As you all know it was my first one and I started it with no clear direction, just a rabid plot bunny thanks to Shadowglove's A Firefly in Pitch Black (a MUST read, as it was the first substantial RnR pairing I ever read, and the inspiration for my obsession with all things Ridver, as ArtLightLove coined it.), the new version will be completely cleaned up and much easier to read as I have finally gotten the hang of FF . net's godawful formatting. As soon as I can get that done I will be publishing the next installment of it, and hopefully wrap it up shortly thereafter. There is a sequel planned for that which I am really looking foward too.

Partners: Carcrafter7 if you're still out there and reading, I haven't forgotten your one shot that goes with this story, which is also undergoing a re-write and a clean-up, your one-shot will be written into the new version; since til this day I regret that choice I made with that story. Once the re-write is in place I will probably however publish it as an entirely new story as several serious changes are spinning around in my brain pan on that one, it will also probably have a new title. The only reason i plan on leaving up the old one is because of said changes, it is in fact almost an entirely different story and there are many people who like it as it is, so I will simply mark it complete when that time comes and make a note referencing the edited and in my opinion improved version. i will however leave that for your judgment.

Whispers- Oh holy cheese and rice crackers this one is a hot mess. I just reread it today and I had to ask myself, "DJ, are you for real?" So that too has a rewrite in the works. I'm just chewing over what I have carefully considering this will be the third rewrite on that one, but what the hell, third time's a charm right? And this time I having an amazing and tireless Beta.

One-shots- At the moment are strictly just that. If anyone of them have a chance at becoming more, it's Bad Things, which currently has three possible follow-ups already written and sitting on my laptop. I just can't decide which one I want to take. I've actually mulled over posting all three on live journal (since choose your own adventures aren't allowed here) and letting people vote on which avenue they want me to go in before continuing the story on here, but as for right now, it stays a one-shot.

Active Updates:

1-6-12- First and foremost, HAPPY NEW YEAR! Secondly... I know, I'm atrociously behind schedule once again (see the Douglas Adams quote on above), I haven't forgotten about anything nor given up hope on finishing and bklyangel and Rachet I'm so sorry I haven't replied to either one of your messages. In all truth and honesty everyone I just haven't had the energy to write or for that matter even turn on my laptop most days, you see... well, I'm pregnant :D For those of you out there that are mommies or even perhaps daddies that lived through it with mommy these first three months have been absolute hell. Seriously I never imagined that being pregnant could be so absolutely miserable. Pregnancy glow, yeah that's a myth... if I'm glowing it's because I've just puked on the shoes of my as*hole sisters that keep telling me I'm getting fat way to fast. I've been pretty much on bed rest the last two months but I am starting to feel somewhat human again and hopefully i'll be able to get some work done. Much love to you all, and thank you so much for hanging in there!
