More to come hopefully soon by Licoricewolf!

Monday: Write and submit chapter of "A Misled Lamb"

Tuesday: Work on side stories and one-shots

Wednesday: Write and submit chapter of "A Misled Lamb"

Thursday: Work on side stories and one-shots

Friday: Write and submit chapter of "A Misled Lamb"

Saturday: Begin new chapter of "Unknown Soldiers"

Sunday: Finish and upload chapter of "Unknown Soldiers"

Given that I have my senior year of high school upcoming there will be some aversions to the above schedule during the summer in addition to the interning, but I intend to keep to it as much as I possibly can. The completion of "A Misled Lamb" is my goal this summer, and hopefully I can get pretty far in my other works as well. I look forward to being able to write more and complete the stories for you all!

For now, the next update for "Unknown Soldiers" will be July 14th.

Next update for "A Misled Lamb" will be July 11th.

My multi chapter stories:

The Hand of Fate, A Second Chance at Life: Despite his death at the hands of Melbu Frahma, Lloyd is now curiously among the living. Lloyd, currently being taken care of in a Wingly refuge created by King Albert and led by Meru, must now find his place in the world he helped save. Some Dart/Shana. This is going to serve as a prequel to a four part series I have in mind that will basically detail the aftermath of the game's events. The first part of the series will be posted this coming summer. Hope to see you all then!

A Misled Lamb...: This is a story detailing the therapy sessions between Jonathan Crane (Scarecrow), a current occupant of Arkham Asylum, and Dr. Penelope Young, his psychiatrist. Crane is interested in driving his psychiatrist crazy, like he has others, and intends to make her fear the name Scarecrow. First, he has to learn her deepest, darkest fears, and then he plans to drive her absolutely stark raving mad with what he finds. Dr. Young fully intends to try to cure Crane, believing him not to be insane and not believing the tales of his human experimentation. If you guys don't know me well enough, this is a Jonathan Crane (Scarecrow) X Dr. Penelope Young fic. Yes, it is. I could only find one other out there, but it seems somewhat plausible so I have decided to delve into why Young comes to think Jonathan Crane is not a bad person really in her files at Arkham (actually canon)...will delve into a bit AU, and will be kind of dark, but I am a firm believer in happy endings! I mean how bad could I get...it's not like I am going to have to change the fact Dr. Young gets killed by a bomb or anything...ignoring that, I am very hopeful for the series. It will be a 100 themes challenge as well, each session going over one of the themes. I hope you all will enjoy it, for it is the first time I have ever written about Batman characters. 62/100 chapters completed and submitted

Unknown Soldiers: Code Geass story that details the exploits of all those minor Black Knights and characters who you didn't get to see very much of in the main series. Bigger summary later!

Now, I have realized there is a formatting issue with my stories. I will be working on it and hopefully fix it as soon as possible! What I use to seperate sections does not appear on this site, so I'll have to experiment with a way to change that.

Upcoming stories

Batman universe

Sequel to "A Misled Lamb": Contains the events of Arkham City. Estimated time of writing is next Fall, specifically beginning in September. This story is going to be tremendously shorter than "A Misled Lamb" due to the fact that the original story is a prequel that takes place months and months before as well as during the game, while this one is the events right before and after the sequel game. It will have supplementary one shots to help this out and finish the first half the planned story.

Sequel to the Arkham City sequel: Details events after Arkham City. Tones that are comparable to that found in the animes Code Geass and Gundam 00 as well as the musical Urinetown (sounds weird, I know, but you have to listen to this song to understand: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZYnpwGBawYQ). I wrote a good deal of it ironically before I had watched or heard of Code Geass or seen Urinetown, so the only "influence" that can be noted is Gundam 00. Expected release is between Winter break and Spring break (December-April) next year, but this largely hinges on how interested people are in its predecessor(s). This one would be as long as "A Misled Lamb" (100 chapters) or more so I don't want to put every last bit of my efforts into it without some backing. This is the creative last half the tale, so I hope people are interested in the final tale of the Scarecrow from me!

Quotes I like

"A person's life is about the things they've accomplished," Norris Packard, Gundam 008th Mobile Suit Team

“If your loyal to everybody, can you really be loyal to anybody?” Thrust, Transformers Beast Machines

"What's a warrior without weapons, eh?"
"A warrior still!" Quickstrike and Dinobot, before the latter kicks the former's aft despite being weaponless, Transformers Beast Wars

"The question that once haunted my being has been answered. The future is not fixed, and my choices are my own. And yet, how ironic... for I now find that I have no choice at all! I am a warrior... let the battle be joined."—Dinobot, Beast Wars

“You are free to sever the chains of fate that bind you” Legend of The Dragoon

"Those who stand above others must have noble ideals along with the most noble intentions. Anyone that cannot manage the will of the masses is not fit to serve as the leader of knights. You say you're punishing someone for standing up to you? That kind of justice is a lie." — Silver Knight, Dot Hack

“Never underestimate the unexpected,” myself at the age of three or four.

"Never explain—your friends do not need it and your enemies will not believe you anyway." – Elbert Hubbard

"Remember men, we're fighting for this woman's honor; which is probably more than she ever did." - Groucho Marx

“In life there are things, actions and events that if you do them you may come to regret them, or believe that you will, but you may come to regret even more if you never did them at all,” myself, age 15 at my Grandmother’s funeral.

Primitive life is very common and intelligent life is fairly rare. Some would say it has yet to occur on earth.
-Stephen Hawking

One pair of hands working does more than a thousand clasped in prayer.
-Benjamin Franklin

Those who would give up Essential Liberty to purchase a little Temporary Safety, deserve neither Liberty nor Safety.
-Benjamin Franklin

We must all hang together, or assuredly we shall all hang separately.
-Benjamin Franklin

Democracy must be something more than two wolves and a sheep voting on what to have for dinner.
-Benjamin Franklin

All wars are civil wars, because all men are brothers.
-Francois Fenelon

Racism is man's gravest threat to man - the maximum of hatred for a minimum of reason.
-Abraham Joshua Heschel

The progressive development of man is vitally dependent on invention.
-Nikola Tesla

The scientific man does not aim at an immediate result. He does not expect that his advanced ideas will be readily taken up. His work is like that of the planter — for the future. His duty is to lay the foundation for those who are to come, and point the way. He lives and labors and hopes.
-Nikola Tesla

Let the future tell the truth and evaluate each one according to his work and accomplishments. The present is theirs; the future, for which I really worked, is mine.
-Nikola Tesla

The individual is ephemeral, races and nations come and pass away, but man remains. Therein lies the profound difference between the individual and the whole.
-Nikola Tesla

Fights between individuals, as well as governments and nations, invariably result from misunderstandings in the broadest interpretation of this term. Misunderstandings are always caused by the inability of appreciating one another's point of view.
-Nikola Tesla

My Favorite Pairings (If you don't like, I am sorry, but I don't really care so don't flame me. Everyone is entitled to their own opinion)

Legend of the Dragoon: Dart/Shana, Albert/Emille, Shirley/Belzac, Lloyd/Meru (weird you say? Well, I have never liked Lenus and didn't know Guaraha existed for years, so that may explain this. Besides, it's cute), Lavitz/Rose (weird again, I know, but I grew up mainly on the first disk and didn't learn about Zieg until years later)

.hack: Kite/Gardenia and Kite/Blackrose...I'm really conflicted, since they are my three favorite characters in the series. Makes me sad to have to pick...

.hack GU: Haseo/Alkaid (I hate Atoli, sorry Atoli fans), a slight liking of Haseo/Shino (I mean come on, it is freaking canon and to not at least respect it would to be disrespecting Haseo's basic character)

Monster Rancher: Genki/Holly, Golem/Undine, Pixie/Big Blue

Beyblade: Ray/Salima, Tyson/Hilary

Digimon: Tai/Sora (F* CANON! TOEI ANGERS ME), Joe/Mimi, TK/Kari, Mummymon/Arukenimon, Lobomon/Ranamon (...I have a wild imagination, okay? And don't get me started on Dragonball pairings...), Agunimon/Kazemon (Takuya/Zoey)
