ANNOUNCEMENT!!

This very Sunday I plan to start work on Life Goes On. I will re-watch the entire Gokusen series, review my (unbelievably long) outline, and proceed to write either a prologue or a first chapter. Possibly both. (Gasp!) I would really appreciate it if you guys could keep me on task and remind me to update and work on it, because Real Life is as intrusive as ever. I hope to get a good deal done. It may be a while before you see the first chapter, because I would like to have it beta'ed, but if it gets to a month and I haven't found anyone good, I'll just do my best on the whole thing. I'm a pretty good beta anyway, but it's different reviewing your own work for errors. You read what should be there, rather than what is, more often than not.

STORIES:

Works in Progress:

Life Goes On (tentative title): IN THE PLANNING/OUTLINING/FLESHING OUT STAGES A novel-length, multi-arc Gokusen fanfiction. Will be a continuation of the anime. Eventual romantic pairing is Shin/Kumiko, but they'll both have to mature a year or two before I let that happen. In fact, I haven't even reached that point in the outline yet. Anyway, as far as fanfiction goes, this is going to be my main focus, so you won't be seeing any postings of this until I can at least flesh the outline for the first story arc. I also need to decide if each chapter will have the content equivalent of a TV episode or not. This will affect chapter length, which will be directly proportionate to time between updates.

M-Team: ON HIATUS... Very funny (non-self) insertion. The idea for this came when a friend and I watched a fansub of the first episode (Max Speed's first appearance). Maresuke and I were both gushing over what a bish he was when we realized that Maresuke looked like a more realistic, slightly more feminine version of Max. Weird. Unfortunately, I fell off watching the Sonic: X anime after the first few shows. If anyone knows where I can download all the fansubs of it, I'd be tempted to catch up and try again.

Forest Lily: DISCONTINUED... NiGHTS: Into Dreams fanfic, and an alternate universe. It is both funny and darkly depressing in turns. I try to keep it upbeat for the most part. I don't know when I'm going to restart this fic again, but the probability is higher than that of M-Team. I'll see if I can scrounge up my old muse.

The Other Mutants: DISCONTINUED... A Mindwarps/X-Men: Evolution crossover. This one's one hiatus due to my poor memory and a disgruntled relative. Though if any one really wants me to continue, just email me to let me know, and I will.

Sailor Earth (My Burden): ABANDONED... Due to lack of muse and that realization that the main character is a deep and well written Mary Sue. My writing fooled even me for awhile on that point. -Bows- I apologize.
