I am (hopefully) done with school! I should be free now! Or free till I get an actual career. But now, finally there will be more love given to the fanfics! I have been working hard in the shadows of the internet...the shadows called reality. But I've been working on fics and getting old stories rewritten! For a few months, I will be concentrating on one-shot collections and rewriting. Once I get a bit further on the rewrites other stories shall be updated! But while I am rewriting, you guys will be getting a lot of one-shots in my different one-shot collections. Be on the look out for those!

UPDATES

Wisdom and Patience (Yu Yu Hakusho)- I've fallen behind on this story, but this is still one of my favorite projects for my favorite anime. I think I've just gotten a little tired of the same story, but this will be getting updated and, hopefully, completed within the upcoming months. I also hope to do more Yu Yu Hakusho stories in the near future.

All Naruto fics - While not all of them might be updated (soon or ever) they all will get a make-over. Some stories might change totally than how they originally were. But they will be given attention before the year is over with. I also really like this new story idea called Sakura Wars and already have 7-Chapters completed.

Motherhood (Kingdom Hearts) - Will be edited and updated as well. I love this story and I am so sorry it got swept under the rug. But this will get attention, it might come after Naruto and W&P, but this will get some love and attention real soon.

Bleach - I sooooo want to get back into Bleach and write up more Hitsu/Ruki fics. I'm not sure when I might be able to do this, but I will make it a goal to edit Conversing the Dragon and, hopefully, get some new ones up. As for the forum, we shall see what can happen. Maybe once I get some time off I can bring life back into it like I had originally wanted. But for now, in all honesty, writing is the most important to me.

Other series - There is no guarantee that I will be able to do many more, however, I have many ideas for Yu-Gi-Oh and Harry Potter, along with (perhaps) a mega crossover. But for now, those are on the back burners. We shall see what will happen with them. Hopefully they will be able to get attention too!

I will try to keep you all posted on everything that is done! I hope you all are still there and able and willing to read!

About my YYH OC-series.

1) I want you all to know that in YYH, it will always be Hiei/Callie. She will never have a harem, never get another guy from another series. When/If I make an OC, it is for that anime-character alone. I am not real into seeing one original-character getting so many bishies from all these animes. I think it is a weird loyalty thing I have lol And as of now, I doubt Hiei will ever be paired with anyone else either.

2) Though I will finish the Will and Determination series with Callie behaving the same (loud, obnoxious, etc) within the new stories I plan to do, I will be changing her personality a bit. She won't be a whole new character with the same name. But she will be a bit softer, less coarse, and a bit less in your face. I want her to have more balance. But she will still be positive, loveable, and ditzy. So no worries about that. But I am thinking less loud cursing and more childish pouts. It feels like she would actually do better and stand out more as an original character this way.

3) I think I will have to stop responding to reviews. I know I said I would do it, however, it is a bit overwhelming and very time-consuming. I hope you all understand. I am so appreciated of all of what you guys have done and said. It means so much! But with writing updates, studying, and writing my own novel it is just something I don't have the time I use to have to do so. But please, please (I must sound desperate and vain) keep the reviews coming! They are all ready, and all so appreciated.

4) And if anyone wishes or plans to do more fanarts, fanfics, and fan-vids of this series/couple please please do! :) I can't tell you how amazed and honored I am to have so many do this for me. And again, if I somehow missed you in the ending of Wit and Courage let me know! You will be acknowledged within the next installment!

Little bit about me: I am a senior at college and I attend UNT (University of North Texas) who will be graduating in May. I major in Literature and Philosophy. Papers, test, and studying have to come first. I won't always be able to put up a lot of updates and there might be times you have to wait a few months to see any movements from me, but I will be doing my best to ensure you don't go so long without any movement.

I am now in the middle of writing a novel (a fantasy series) and hope to see it published. That is another thing that might have to come before updates since it is my dream to write one. I hope when/if it is finally published you all will read it :)

It is possible that my writing style has changed a bit. I have been doing nothing but writing papers for many months, and though it has been great training it is very possible that you will notice alternations in how I write. Hopefully it won't take any from the enjoyment.

Favorite Characters

Females: I am a Haruno Sakura (from Naruto), Kuchiki Rukia (Bleach), Tea Gardner/Anzu Mazaki (YuGiOh), Hermione Granger (Harry Potter), Sam Manson (Danny Phantom), Kairi (Kingdom Hearts), Tsuki (my friend's AijinMegami's OC), Lucy Heartphilla (Fairy Tail), and Yukimura Keiko/Botan/Genkai/Yukina/Shizuru/my OC (YuYu Hakusho) Fan.

Males: I am a Hitsugaya Toushirou (Bleach), Kuwabara Kazuma and Hiei (Yu Yu Hakusho) fan.

For every story I write for these series please be prepared for these particular characters as the star. If you don't like them, you might want to avoid my stories. Because I love hard and tend to be fangirls over them they will either get a lot of positive screen time or they are the stars in the stories.

However, I do understand that bashing/poking fun at characters is a part of this site. And I understand these are not real characters. And sometimes poking/bashing is acceptable for humor, for the story, or just to allow the author to vent. Not too mention I am willing to poke fun of the characters I like, I just won't bash/make them the bad-guys. So while I will avoid the stories that concern the bashing of the characters mentioned above, I am willing to do my share and read stories when it centers around other characters;

Hinata, Naruto, Sasuke, Karin, and Kakashi (Naruto), Serenity/Shizuka (Yu-Gi-Oh), Sasami and Tenchi (Techni Muyo), Orihime and Hinamori (Bleach), and Ginny Weasely (Harry Potter). I am not fond these characters for different reasons. For the characters I haven't mentioned in either list, I enjoy, but I will probably be willing to tease a lot lol

Stories

I sometimes tend to not break out of the box. I have a style and type of story I love to read and write about. If I seem to be a bit boring at times, I do apologize. I will try to try new stuff every so often but for the most part I stick with what I enjoy and what I am comfortable with. But (seeing as I have complained about this concerning Kishimoto) I am not going to never try something new.

First, I enjoy romance. In most all stories it will be the central theme or it will happen eventually.

I enjoy it when the girl has a very strong and enjoyable personality. However, I enjoy when she has a feminine weak side to her, where she is naive, pure, innocent, etc. And usually the male is going to have a dark attribute. Whether he is a complete bad boy or just have a small side to him. I love it when men are aggressive, dominate, seductive, dark, possessive, protective, obsessive...I could go on. I just really enjoy them having these attributes. So please be prepared for the boys to have them or eventually have them. So this might make some females and males OOC or it might keep them the same.

Below are fic ideas. Not all of them will see the light of day, but they are the ones who probably have the most chance of being made. I claim all of these as my ideas. If you see one you want to do please tell me and get my premission first. Even if I don't write them, they are still my ideas...and I am TERRIBLE with titles and summaries...so hopefully, when written, all future fanfics will sounds better then how they do here.
