Hey there!

Just a quick reminder that I still have my mediaminer.org account, and my nickname is Black Rose Lady on that site because mm.org doesn't allow me to change my nickname, despite the fact that I picked it out when I was feeling very melodramatic.

When I write fanfiction:

Please forgive me for my late (or nonexistant) updates...Despite how much I love my stories, my life has to come first.

When I write, I'm not afraid to shy away from the gritty, gory details. If anything I like to paint the most vivid picture possible...However, I rarely write anything that could be considered "dark" or "angst-y." It just doesn't seem to be my style, although I wouldn't be opposed to writing it someday. I prefer action, adventure, a good romance, a touch of sarcasm, and a splash of general humor.

For every chapter I write, I try to throw in one phrase that really strikes a chord with me or one mental image that I want to stick with the reader...something that I feel is particularly genius, creative, or all-around fabulous. Some people catch on to them and comment them, others might breeze over them, but they are there!

I try to focus on the emotion of the characters...what they're feeling, how they're feeling it, and why they're feeling it. I don't think my writing is very technical...I try to write in a way that will allow the reader to feel the wind on their face, to feel the adrenaline rush that comes along with fear, anger, and anxiety. When I write, I am experiencing all of the emotions as if they were happening to me and I feel that, as a writer, it is my duty to attempt to pass these emotions along, because without them my stories are hollow.

The BEST fanfiction I have read so far...It's a YYH/IY with a Kag/Kur/Youko pairing. It's the type of story that will make you laugh so hard you pee your pants, if you have a sarcastic sense of humor. Par Tout Autre Nom, written by Deviation http://www.mediaminer.org/fanfic/view_st.php/49664. You can also read her story here as "By Any Other Name", by Deviant Nature. Warning: much swearing and adult interaction.

Story Statuses

Let me just say that my updating style is like an affair: it's fast, it's good, and then it's over and somebody's been hurt. Usually it's me, because my muses like to throw things from their hiding spots under my laundry pile before retreating back to the worlds from whence they came.

Only This and Nothing More: Plot bunnies chewed an enormous hole in my ideas and I'm re-working a vastly different plot

Unto the Few: Of all the fics, this one is most likely to be completed. I have multiple new chapters completed but the formatting is screwed up every time I upload them.

All other fics are currently on permanent hiatus or complete.

I won't lie and say that I will update frequently, regularly, or even at all. Please be patient and understanding, as so many of you wonderful readers and reveiwers already are.

I send you many well wishes, happiness, and all of the best reviews in the world...
