What's New!:
Been taking a long hiatus, which was well needed. For starters, I've had one heck of a massive writer's block, there are a lot of things going on in my life right now (engaged, a job, other interests...) and last but not least, to be honest, I just haven't been 'in the mood' to write a lot of the fanfictions I've been working on. For example, in the case of my Kingdom Hearts stuff. I hoped that 358/2 Days might put me in the mood but honestly, it did absolutely nothing. I also know that it didn't help that I was trying to put my energy in to two separate stories in the same category, so I've elected to update Seph's Guide once more before I put it on hiatus until Distant Hearts is complete, since Distant Hearts is close to being finished and Seph's Guide has a loooong way to go. I will finally be starting my sequel for my Sonic story soon, as I finally hammered out all the details in the plot. I may start my Mario Bros. story, as I've grown quite fond of the idea in the past few months, but I'll see. I'm trying to get my updates out by next week, before Thanksgiving but I won't make any promises, given as my job takes up a heck of a lot of my time lately.

Little Facts About Me:
-Me loves boyfriend lots! XD No seriously, he really supports me in everything I do and he's pretty much the best thing that's ever happened to me. I wouldn't. A lot of the romance in my fanfics that I try to convey or put into words are things that I've felt or feel because of him. And...it also helps with 'those' scenes. XD
-I actually, don't have too deep a shipping preferences, despite my stories. Odd huh? I usually do like SLASH stories, though I don't mind seeing the same guys with their 'suppose to be' girl counterparts. (Except maybe Sonic. I just like him better with Shadow. Or at least, I wouldn't mind it if Sega made Amy less annoying and less stalker like. I suppose I tried hard to avoid that in my fanfic because Amy has such a great potient--I'm rambling...) I pretty much see it like this: as long as the people involved with the relationship could actually work and the romance makes sense, then I can see and/or support it. This was hard when I wrote Sephy's Guide because there where a few ships I could honestly see working and wouldn't have mind seeing but couldn't do for the story. Though I will probably never write a Fem SLASH. XD
-My current avatar (and probably the only one I use for a while cause I'm so darn proud of it) is one I completely made, as in I drew/colored/sobbed over and spent countless hours working on said artwork. My account:

Feel free to bug me at said site to update my stories through a PM, since I frequent that place often. (I'll probably regret typing that...)
I'll add as I think of stuff to put here. UPDATE: I hear you loud and clear, for those of you that actually did go through the trouble of finding me on DA and sending me PM's or shouts. I'm on it!

Story Updates

Sephiroth's Guide to Marriage and Revenge (Updated: Once more in Nov. then hiatus.)
Being revised and updating as we speak.

When Distant Hearts Beat as One (Updated: Nov.)
Written for RxS (Riku & Sora) Lover to answer a challenge. Currently working on next chapter and the chapter after that. Having fun writing them to be honest. Will update with Seph's Guide.

Because We're Happy--Even If I Never Thought We Could Be... (Updated: Nov.)
The sequel to Because You Loved Me--Even If I Didn't Want You To. You know, I have no clue if I'm sticking to the original premise anymore or not, but all I know is that Fang is in it. And me loves some Fang. Oh. And there will be Slash. So um, beware if you hate that sort of thing. And everyone from the first returns for this go round. Hooray! (Maybe...bawhahahahaha...:choke: )

Fear of the Unknown (Updated: TBA)
For Shooting Star. I'm going to pause in this story so I can concentrate on updating and completely the stories above.

Angels In Disguise (Updated: Discontinued)
Sorry, but I won't be updating this story any longer.

My first Sonic story every, is SLASH features Sonic x Shadow. This one also has a sequel that's already been posted or will any day now. Check it out, if you dare!

Stories That Will More Than Likely Remained Unfinished
Lament of Innocence
Now I will admit, this Harry Potter story was written just so there would (hopefully) be a somewhat original and interesting 'twin' story out there. I tried to ensure that things you would usually find in said 'twin' stories, wouldn't be in this one, meaning:
-While Harry's parents are alive, there will be no favoritism. Meaning that they will not neglect Harry for the other twin or vise-versa and just overall, treat Harry like crap and as such, go extremely OOC.
-No Dark!Harry and by the same token no Dark!Twin.
-Major Bashing of main characters, such as Ron, Dumbledore, or Harry's Parents.
-Good!Slytherins and Evil!Gryffindors. (AKA, they refuse roles)
-The twin will not have the power to defeat Voldemort and is already aware of this. Harry is the Boy Who Lived and I'm keeping it that way. (I can't go any further because it's a major part of the plot).
The story is actually kinda complicated but I do plan on finishing it eventually. The six book kinda through me for a loop and I've had to...consider some things. (Definately adding Fenrir now...) It will be updated as soon as BYLM-ETIDWYT is finished.

Prongs:
There are a few reasons why I've decided I more than likely will never update this. I lost all of the data I had for the story that I mapped out and it's been so long since I've written it (and after finding out a few things about Lily and James back in that time frame) I just don't have the same drive to actually right it anymore. For those that were remotely still interested: I'm so sorry!

Evolution:
Personally, I just got out of 'Teen Titans story writing' mood. I just don't have the drive to actually want to write this story anymore, which saddens me because it really wasn't that bad. Though I will admit, the very last episode, not to mention the later seasons kinda disappointed me, so that plays a role unfortunately.

Sweet Misery
This might get a repreve but I'm really trying to focus on SGTL&D and don't want to work on too many stories at once. That and honestly, I got writer's block for this story before it even began! (I know. Sad...)

Reflection of the Heart
Erm...well I didn't expect Sephiroth's Guide to do so well so this one kinda took a back seat...then I just kinda forgot...then I was like meh, forget it, the original story is better anyway. LMAO. The only point was honestly a 'what if' type scenario with Sora in Kairi's shoes (though he was still his role and Kairi was substatuding) and honestly...just an excuse to have Evil Smexy Riku molest Sora. LMAO. You know, I just may finish this after all. . .

Things You More Than Likely Won't See in My Fanfics

1. Out of Control OC’s
(Note: In case you may not know (or are new), OC stands for Original Character. Meaning they where never in the actual story the fanfiction is based off of, but where placed there for whatever reason.)
You ever read a fanfiction that had so many Original Characters that it doesn’t even seem like the same thing it’s based on? While I may place one or two, four tops, I’ll try my hardest not to put so many in that the story doesn’t even seem like the material it’s based from.

2. Out of Control OOC
(Note: OOC means Out of Character)
While a character in my story may do something he hadn’t in the actual story, I promise I won’t have the said character go WAY off base--mind control obviously not included. But under the same token, I’m not going to kill myself trying to make them to a tee exactly like they are in the story–but I’ll try and get close.

3. Shadow/Amy Pairings in my Sonic fanfiction. EVER.
I will be polite and let said author go unnamed but they have completely and FOREVER ruined my idea for even coming to terms with this ship, let alone ever liking it. This is what happens when you completely write characters so out of character that it literally pisses me off, turn Amy into a Mary Sue and...hell, have the nerve to make comments and insult other authors of the same ship about being 'original' when the first chapter of said story is so unoriginal that I literally started laughing because I thought the author's notes about said unoriginal authors was a joke. :Growls:

If you have any questions, comments, complaints (I don't listen to people that don't like me :op ), feel free to email me. Or drop me a private message! If you'd like to check out my artwork, take a look at my homepage!

Thanks and Happy Reading!
