Here I am again, apologizing for the delay. I know it's been years since I've updated, and I'm prepared to make up for it. I've written five fics and two originals for everyone to read. The originals will not be posted anywhere except for my Livejournal community and my Yahoo! Group. My personal Livejournal is friends' only...as in I have to know the person I'm friending before I do friend them. A lot of personal stuff has happened and only people I trust can know about it now. But hey! I'd like to get to know my readers! IM me--MSN messenger is best, as that's the only thing I have at work, but Yahoo, AOL, and Gmail are also used--all Riverchic1998.
I'm also looking for one to two new beta readers. I need experience though. I'm not looking for someone to help me with my commas, as I can do that. I'm looking for people who can help with plot and smoothness. I have one beta, the glorious Jacy Evans, but I'm looking for more. So, email me at riverchic1998@aol.com if you want to help out.
My LJ community: Contrastion (which is bare at the moment, as I haven't had any time to set it up)

Happy New Year and I'm terribly sorry. Work has bogged me down like CRAZY. I'll be insane for the next three weeks with work and book editions and deadlines. I did publish a book and it will be going on sale soon, as soon as I finish the editions and rewrites on it. The sequel deadline is March 31st...and NONE of it is written, ergo, my stress.
No updates until after then...terribly sorry.

I've been neglecting you guys. Terribly sorry. I'm so bogged down with the week before finals here at Uni. It's tough, especially for a double major. Plenty of I'm Sorry drabbles in your future!

Well, I'm back. That's right, people.
Although I'm not writing anything new, I am going back and re-writing a lot of old fics. The ones I'm re-writing? Across the Atlantic, Gone Forever, and An Iris With Thorns (which will probably be renamed). Each chapter of the fics that are being re-written will be released a week apart. Such as, Across the Atlantic chapters will be released every Saturday. Get it?
One-shots, like Time Twister, Weakest Lick, Scotches and Sticks, You're Grounded, and Stimulation is for Grown-ups will be put back up. Other one-shots will be re-written. Two one-shots will be uploaded every week. One on Tuesday and one on Thursday.
I will be trying to work on finishing the Hybrid Trilogy and Stand Off, Trade Off (which also will probably be renamed), but until those are finished, they won't be uploaded. From now on, no unfinished fic will be uploaded unless I only have a few chapters left of it to go.
I'm also going to be uploading some drabbles I've never released before, for your pleasure.
Some old fics that I wrote when I first got into the fandom, like Blood-Links, will not be put back up. No amount of re-writing could bring those back.
Just so we're all clear...

1. Across the Atlantic--updates on Saturdays

I also wrote a fic called "Lucky". It was a Draco/Dawn from Draco's POV...and I've completely lost. Does anyone know where it may be, or if you have, can you email it to me? I'd be eternally grateful. I'll even write a fic for you.
Well...to the basics. If you have NO idea what is going on, or you're just now joining in, let me introduce myself. My name is Laura (or Riverchic1998) and I attend John Brown University in Arkansas. I have a million emails, but they're fairly easy to remember. For fic references, email riverchic1998@aol.com. For general stuff, email riverchic1998@yahoo.com. I have a xanga, www.xanga.com/riverchic, but there isn't anything fic related on there. In fact, unless you know me in real life, you probably won't get a thing I say on there. What you need, is my livejournal. http://www.livejournal.com/users/dream_mancer. Yes, it's friend's locked. All you have to do is comment on my first public post and I'll add you. Simple as that. If you don't have a livejournal, email me and I'll let you have the password to a general journal that is friended to mine.
Fic wise: I've been off the map fic-wise for a number of months due to personal reasons. I'm back, however, and ready to write. I'm not taking demands to update. They don't really work on me anyway. I adore Harry Potter, Veronica Mars, Smallville, and Supernatural, although I only write Harry Potter and the odd HP/Buffy crossover.
As you can see, my drabbles and one-shots are not in the biggest of numbers. If you want me to write a one-shot/drabble for you, email me the following...keeping in mind it kinda has to be between the fandoms of Buffy and Harry.
