Hey there. I'm Chances. I went to an arts high school and will be attending university real soon for secondary English education. I'm more of a creative writer than a traditional one, if you know what I mean.

I usually write original stories but I never finish the, because I get major writer's block. And that's why I started fan fiction. I thought it could give my brain a half-break. "The Tale of a Swan" is my first fan fiction.

Just so you know, I have a learning disability so my spelling and grammar are somewhat off. I'll try to go back and edit the mistakes whenever can.

If you have a problem with my writing, like you don't care for it, then just review it, please. However, I'd like reasoning behind why you dislike it, it would be best if it was constructive criticism as well, thank you very much.

When I'm not writing, or studying, or working, I'm drawing and painting. I just made a DeviantART and start posting some of the works on there. I'm in the middle of doing some "The Tale of a Swan" fan art that I'll post on there once it's done. Here's the url for my profile so please check it out:

I have gone through and edited The Tale of a Swan chapters 2-8. I have added things so you get to know a little bit more about Anna/Odile. I also changed the colors of the tattoo. I suggest you go back and read though it again. Sorry for the inconvenience.

FYI: Friday September 16, 2011

I edited chapter 29: Koryo X.

FYI: Wednesday September 21, 2011

I made a change to chapter 8: Hanshin Republic IV. All I did was add a tail to the swan tattoo; nothing big. I also added two chapters. I'm trying to make the chapters longer. I try to add two every Wednesday.

FYI: Wednesday October 19, 2011

I'm uploading six new chapters this week because I won't be able to upload any next week. The week after that, things will go back to normal.

FYI: Wednesday November 2, 2011

I received a comment about the syntax of chapters 46, 47, and 48 for The Tale of a Swan. After reviewing the chapters, I noticed that the quotation marks disappeared. I'll fix that as soon as I can. All I ask is that you be a little patient with me. Sorry for the inconvenience.

FYI: Friday November 4, 2011

I fixed chapter 46 by adding quotation marks. I also made a couple minor changes but nothing big.

FYI: Tuesday November 8, 2011

I fixed chapters 47 and 48 by adding quotation marks. Again, I'm sorry for the confusion that might've been caused while reading. I honestly have no idea what happened to the quotation marks; they just disappeared. I'm going to try and go through all the chapters, starting with chapter 1, and repair any spelling and grammar mistakes there are but I'll continue to post chapter on a weekly basis. I'll be posting two or three tomorrow.

FYI: Wednesday November 23, 2011

I posted four chapters this week, since it's Thanksgiving week and all. Who knows, maybe I'll upload like 6 or 8 chapters for Christmas. ;)

FYI: Sunday November 27, 2011

I posted chapter 58: Oto X today. I will still post two chapters on Wednesday.

FYI: Wednesday December 7, 2011

For chapter 61: Oto XIII, I went back and put the dream scene in italics.

FYI: Sunday December 25, 2011

I posted three chapters today. It's my Christmas present to you guys. ;)

FYI: Wednesday December 28, 2011

There's only one chapter this week and I think that I'll probably only be able to post one chapter a week from here on out. I'm sorry about this but I'll probably make the chapters longer though next week's chapter maybe a bit short but they should get longer after that.

FYI: Wednesday January 4, 2012

Happy New Year! I did some editing to chapters 70 and 71. It was nothing major, just little things so you don't really have to go back a read the chapters again, unless you want to. I'm posting one chapter this week. Please enjoy.

FYI: Wednesday February 1, 2012

I'm sorry but I am not uploading a chapter today. From now on, I will be uploading on Thursdays, so there will be a chapter tomorrow.

FYI: Thursday February 2, 2012

So I tried uploading the next chapter to The Tale of a Swan but it wouldn't let me so... I'll try again in the morning.

FYI: Thursday February 9, 2012

Sorry but there is no chapter this week but there should be a chapter next week. I'm thinking that I'll probably upload every two weeks instead of every week because I'm finding it very difficult to make time to write with college and stuff. But I'm trying really hard and not giving up!! Please be patient with me! I promise not to disappoint you with The Tale of a Swan. I have stuff planned that I hope you guys will enjoy, it's just gonna take a little longer to get there then I planned. ;)

So... I'm going to post something on my next chapter as an Author's Note as well but I want to address my Moon Castle chapters I and II and all that will come after in the Country of Yama because it seems that there's a problem with what I'm doing.

I am using Google Translate for Japanese, French, and Russian, since Kurogane, Fai, and Anna (without Mokona) cannot understand each other. This is to keep with the storyline, not just to make it interesting though that's part of it. In my opinion, I'd hate to read over and over again that they can't understand each other or to keep their mouths shut and have them refrain from talking with each other. Please don't take this the wrong way but I don't care if it's correct or not. I don't have the time to get correct translations and the correct attitude or slang. Also, the translations are to by entertaining, not to teach someone how to speak the language.

I'm so sorry I haven't updated like I said I would. I was way too busy last week and I have finals this week so it just didn't work out like I hoped it would. My last class is tomorrow and then I have an essay due on Friday so... I gonna write two chapters on Saturday and hopefully post them on Sunday. So there will be two chapters this weekend.l I'm sorry it's taking so long but once school is out I should be able to update on a regular basis again. :)

FYI: Sunday April 29, 2012

Just want to let you loyal readers in on what my regular schedule is. So I'll be updating every two Fridays. However, to make for the week I missed and just because I love you guys so much, there will be a chapter on Monday. BUT I will also be posting another chapter on Friday May 5. After that, I'll be updating every two Fridays. :) Hope that helps.

FYI: Friday May 25, 2012

So I know I said I would try and upload another chapter today but that's not going to happen. I thought about it and had a better idea. This next chapter is going to have another painful cliffhanger so I'm going to upload it on Monday and then the next one will be on Friday. Sorry for the inconvenience.

FYI: Wednesday June 27, 2012

I rewrote my profile thing up above.
