Check for pigs flying - I actually got some writing done for Believe today... it's not dead, I swear. Also have a short set of ToS pieces to polish and a longish, darkish FF7 piece that might get me lynched. Ah well, growth as a writer has to count for something, right?

As for me? A good friend once described me as a "Grey Lady, she who sees in darkness but dreams of light" and it's fitting.

Am I a shipper? Sure. I've got a taste for the unusual, the snarky, and the hopeful... but, honestly, love is love. I love slow-burn love stories, sidekicks, redheads, and banter. Good banter makes the world go 'round.

Thoughts in review/e-mail/ehl-jay form are always appreciated, and it's more than likely I'll review back. And if for some flattering reason you want to archive any of this, send me a note first! I'm not scary, I swear - I just like to know where my stuff is.

That said, the very cool SODA.rk.angel has begun to translate "Photo Box" into Spanish - it's over here, and has inspired me to start learning the language!

Fanart-wise, WrexSoul did this awesome picture of Yuffie and Reno for my birthday - it looks like a moment out of Run.

Lastly - in the words of an old Irish toast, I hope that as you slide down the balustrades of life, none of the slivers are pointing the wrong way.

Cheers,
~Sabe.
