Current Stuff
-Hello, I'm back! Only with drabbles right now, but I've got a full length fic in the works. Somewhere. I just have to remember where I put it. Or at least what it was about. Heh.
-I'm currently accepting requests at my livejournal (http://peridots13.livejournal.com/21461.html#cutid3). Drabbles only, about 100 words long.
-I'm having this outpouring of Naruto fic ideas while trying to write Home, mostly coming from lines or scenes I want to put in Home but don't really help the story or just don't belong in the story at all. They'll all be posted eventually.
-I'm discontinuing my fic "Betrayed", at least for now. I really don't have much of an interest in CCS anymore. I'll try to finish it sometime, but it's unlikely to happen in the near future. I'm sorry to those who liked it.

In Progress
Home - Naruto fic. Oneshot. I'm having a lot of trouble getting it to come out the way I want it to, and I don't know how to connect the middle to the end. I hope to have it out sometime this week, but at the rate it's going, it probably won't ever get done.
Untitled HP fic - Hermione-centric. Probably will only be drabble length. Might be longer if the inspiration strikes me.
Aftermath - Title might change. Naruto fic. Oneshot. Sort of alternate/deleted scene from Home. Finished, but needs beta-ing. And I want to have Home out first, damn it.
Even Better - tentatively titled. Naruto fic. Drabble. Needs beta-ing.
Untitled Naruto fic - Probably gonna be NaruSaku. Sorta, but not really. Probably will be drabble length. If I decide it's worth writing.

Note: If you want to read my stuff, it'll be on my LJ loads of time before being here. Only the edited/beta-ed pieces go here.

Fics and reviews
Excuses for not posting
I go on highs and lows. I'm somewhere in the middle right now. Also, I'm not an aspiring writer, I'm an aspiring interior designer (NOT an interior decorator).

The reviews I give
Expect weird but honest reviews from me. If I get a little violent or crazy, just ignore me. I get like that sometimes. There's an emphasis on the honest part of the reviews though. I wouldn't want people telling me that my fic is fabulous when it actually sucks, so I'm not going to do that to you. I'll try to be gentle, but if there's something wrong with your fic, I'm gonna tell you. You might be a better writer because of it. And that's not meant to sound pompous or anything, as I know I'm not a great writer, but I read A LOT. If it's not homework or work work, it's reading for me, so I've read a lot of both good and bad writing. I know the difference. And it helps that I'm a spelling and grammar nazi. =D

The reviews I hope for
I want reviews to my fics. I'm not going to withhold chapters/new fics if I don't get them, but I sincerely appreciate them, and I post thank-you's. I want honest reviews. Flames hurt my feelings though (:cry:), so keep it to constructive criticism. No saying "Your fic seriously sucked!", and pLz dun rite Liek dis. Give suggestions for improvement. Also, you can babble as much as you want. I don't care. I do it in my reviews.

E-mail
You can e-mail me at SakuraGurl85@hotmail.com. If you do e-mail me, I will reply, no matter how long it takes.

Whom I adore
I worship The MOUSE. YOU MUST READ HER FICS! IF YOU LIKE ESCAFLOWNE, READ "THE RETURN", AND IF YOU LIKE CCS, READ "DIMENSIONS". IF SHE IS NOT ON YOUR FAVORITES LIST, I DON'T KNOW WHY YOU ARE AN AUTHOR CUZ YOU OBVIOUSLY HAVE NO TASTE. Again, no offense, but she is a truly amazing author.
Also, read Maurynna's "Cardcaptors: Clow Reed's Mistake". This is the first time I've ever said this, but her fic, I believe, is better than The MOUSE's "Dimensions". I was up until 6:20 in the morning reading it (I had to pretend to wake-up in my bed ten minutes later). I got no sleep for 31 hours because I just couldn't tear my eyes away from the computer. Now, that either tells you that I'm a fanfiction freak or that the fic is really really good.
Cassandra Claire rocks my socks. She's famous now because of her Draco trilogy. Unfortunately, she's taken it down fictionalley.org, but if you e-mail her, she'll probably send it to you. I've got copies too. But you should also read her other HP stuff, which you will also have to e-mail for. Her site's cassandraclare.livejournal.com. She's got a original fiction trilogy in the works. The second novel was published this past April. The Mortal Instruments Trilogy. YA fantasy. Details at cassandraclare.livejournal.com.

HELP!
OK, I NEED SERIOUS HELP. I'm trying to find this CCS fic in which Syaoran and Sakura are in the most popular fraternity and sorority, and they're enemies, or at least make fun of each other, but then they start to become friends. In it, Sakura has this special bracelet and necklace she received from her mother, who is dead in this fic. Also, Meiling, jealous of Syaoran "warming up" to Sakura, gets Sakura kicked out of the sorority by saying she went to this guy's, I think his name was Bones, house, who is a notorious sex freak or something. I think the Nelvana American-ized names were used, u kno, li showron (is dat how u spell it?), etc. I want to read this! I can't find it anywhere! If anyone knows what fic I'm talking about, tell me! Either e-mail or im me! PLEASE! there's this sailor moon fic where serena/usagi is really smart and stuff, but she hides it from everyone. it starts off with her putting away a latin book or something (she taught herself the language). then she cuts school and goes to this bad neighborhood in town, and she goes into this abandoned building and falls in a hole and finds jadeite frozen in this crystal and frees him and lets him take some of her power and they get out of there and jadeite takes her home and agrees to train her so she'll be a worthy opponent cuz he wants 2 fight her. what is the title and/or author?

If you managed to get through all that, I congratulate you.
