If anyone wants to contact me for any reason, just e-mail me at lilrinfluffchan@yahoo.com and you'll receive a reply within a few days. You can also instant message me on AIM at akalilLyn or talk to me on LJ. I enjoy hearing from all of you!

It's the new year, and I haven't posted a thing. I just wrote up a bunch of excuses and shizz about what's been going on with me lately on my livejournal. Would love to hear from all of you. Encouragement helps. I hope you all haven't given up on me yet. I'll be constantly updating my livejournal now with little info on how my fics are getting along. Drop by and let me know how you guys feel! I totally understand if you are all angry at me. I'd still like to hear it.

I've just checked, and it seems that I've got a pending 22 fics. Seriously? Twenty two? And they're all fics that I've started but haven't completed the first chapter yet. It's those damn plot bunnies. But back to the point. I have that many fics to post, and that's not including chapters for stories already waiting to be updated. Even worse still, some (though not many) of those stories that I'm going to post aren't even in the InuYasha category. I've gotten into other fandoms. Please don't kill me. Sadly (again), some of the stories that are in the InuYasha category that I have are not a SessKag pairing. My apologies. Hopefully, this'll all work out. Before I die. Therefore, I am going to write the fics and post them in order of which ones I've started and left unfinished the longest (this doesn't apply to previous fics, only new ones).

I'm totally absorbed in reading other people's stories and music. Gotta love that music. Most likely, it'll be Only a Daydream Away that's updated soon. Also, maybe another oneshot somewhere. I will not abandon my fics even though as of now, "Angel's Song" is on hiatus. I need to fix it up a lot... I may finish one or two of them abruptly so that it may seem rushed, but at least it wasn't abandoned. That is one of the things that I hate most in the world. With that said, I hope you all keep on reading!

P.S. It's a tiny thing, but I'm a bit annoyed. People who ask me to email them when I update either never review again or just ignore the emails. Where's the love, you guys? This goes for people who have accounts on ff.net. I am going to ignore those requests from now on and only email people who don't have accounts. For the rest of you, you have something called STORY ALERT or AUTHOR ALERT that you can use. It'll email you and won't bother me in the least when I update. Peace out, homies.

Favorite Fanfics in the entire world:
The Best Defense (and its sequel, A Good Offense) by JoIsBishMyoga
Tales from the House of the Moon by Resmiranda
Requiem and Demons by Wandering Child
Faust by Ryuujitsu
Anything at all by Ladelle. She is absolutely amazing.

My absolute favorite manga that you should TOTALLY READ:

1. RG VEDA by CLAMP --it's so beautiful and tragic; I can't help but love it.
2. SAIYUKI --absolutely wonderful. It cracks me up and just plain inspires me to try my hardest at anything I do.
3. Angel Santuary by KAORI YUKI --despite all the hype about it being incestual, I love it. This made me want to cry so much. It also makes me more determined to do my best.
4. Mekakushi no Kuni (Land of the Blindfolded) --it makes me happy and sad but happy again.
5. ALL OF TANEMURA ARINA'S WORKS --everything this woman writes turns into gold. I love her works. All of them. They're lovely.
6. Death Note --Freakin' amazing. Just...amazing.

Manga/Anime that entertains me but is not a requirement for you to read or watch in no particular order:

1. InuYasha --I liked it, but my love has faded for the actual canon stuff. It's all getting so repetitive, I've lost the site where I got translations, and I already hate the anime to death.
2. Yuu Yuu Hakusho --Lots of action and the lovely Kurama as well as adorable Hiei.
3. Yu-Gi-Oh --the card game may be a bit...bleh...but I am in LOVE with those darn bishounen. Bakura Ryou, Yami no Bakura, Malik...
4. Ouran Koukou Host Club --full of bishounen again, and it's cute+funny. The manga is better, IMO.
5. Full Metal Alchemist --I love both the anime and manga, a rarity for me.
6. D.Gray-man -- Another amazing series. Gosh. Kanda and Allen = awesome.
7. Naruto -- seriously. Naruto. I have so much love for this series right now, I can't even. Gah. Omgosh. Love.
8. Hikaru no Go -- a classic. Really.
9. Shounen ai/yaoi manga: Loveless, Kyou Kara Maou especially, though there are so much more
10. Death Note -- full of all the mind fuckery you can't imagine on your own. I love this series. A lot.

Music artists:

1. 30 Seconds to Mars --American and I love them.
2. Gackt --Japanese, and he is a GOD. I strongly recommend that you listen to him.
3. OLIVIA --Japanese and English. She's half white and her voice is nice. Unique music that I like.
4. Lee Soo Young --Korean with a wonderfully dreamy voice. Beautiful.
5. 12012 --Japanese VK band that I like. Indies music, I think.
6. Dong Bang Shin Ki --Korean boy band. You just have to admit that behind those pretty boy faces, they are talented. Those boys can SING.
7. Flyleaf --American and unique. They're a Christian rock band, I think, with a female vocalist. I like them.
8. alan - Tibetan/Chinese girl who debuted in Japan. Her voice is like, whoa. Holy crap.

Pet peeves: Grammar errors. Sometimes, it's just like, COME ON. Geez. I can forgive you if it seems like it's a typo or if it's such an awesome fic that I won't mind, but otherwise...get it right people. Even I make mistakes, but usually, they're not as bad as some that I've seen. Another pet peeve? People being OOC. Yea. I might do it accidentally, but seriously, I hate that stuff. I have several more, but I can't think them up at the moment. Oh. One more. Homophobic people. Yea. Just be open about things, folks. It's not the end of the world if someone has a boy/girlfriend of the same gender. It shouldn't have anything to do with you at all.

Phew. I did the whole letting you people know me thing. Wow. Didn't expect that. I suspect it'll all disappear after a while though. Just wanted you all to know what manga I recommend and got carried away. Seriously. The manga I listed at the beginning are the BEST I've come across. Give them a chance.

Oh, and I've gotten into a ton of shounen ai/yaoi. Please don't be offended by anything I write in the future. I've gotten a bit weird lately. It was unexpected.
