Oi!

06m/29d/09y (or 29d/06m/09y for those of you in the uk... oh wow, that is just silly of me :p )

I live!

I'm back in the swing of things. Discovered gmail's nifty 'doc' setup thanks to Ozzallos, and so i might actually get some work done for a change.

Proof that I'm working on Trapped:

A hard rain was falling as an evil presence approached the Tsukino homestead. Jade had dressed before teleporting near by and walking the rest of the way here. It didn’t take much to create such with her newly gained power. Black jeans and a green t-shirt under a blue rain coat she didn’t mind, but it felt odd to have the proper ladies undergarments. A pair of boots, both stylish and waterproof, kept her feet safe from the elements, or at least that was the appearance she wanted to give to the random passer-by. She didn’t really care about clothes one way or the other, as her power was such that she could be naked in the Antarctic and not shiver. However, it would not do to draw attention to her quite yet.

‘She still lives here. I can practically taste the senshi magic.' After having awakened, Jade found that she had absorbed more then just power. Memories, ages of memories. Most where from Beryl herself, with some from the varied youma and other beings under the control of Metallia. There were even a few from said dark entity, but those were strange and incomprehensible. The neo-woman was quite pleased that some those memories where not as muddled as others; especially one or two of the fragments from Metaria herself. The Dark Queen that had Beryl tied around her finger had not only been connected to her, but that fool Tuxedo Kamen as well. And for that brief time, she extracted knowledge that would have been used against senshi had it not taken so long to do so. 'To think, Metaria would have been able to do this herself if they had not shown when they did,' Jade thought as some flashes of memory revealed to her aspects of the fall of her masters. She had to quirk a vicious smile at what crossed her mind next; 'Let alone what Beryl could have done had she at least let me finish my report. Just when she could have the first real step in taking out those damned senshi.'

"But that was the past, now for the present," she spoke as she luxuriated in the sound of her new voice. Something about it really made her fell powerful; the honeyed velvet of the octaves told her that she could command respect from any warm blooded male if she so desired. It was only the fact that she was once one of those males that made it the slightest bit disconcerting, oddly adding to the feeling of power. She would probably have to try it out later, perhaps as a new way to steal energy.

For now, business of a different sort. Standing in front of the gate to her destination, She could sense one, no two magical presences. Two out of five wasn’t bad, especially if she could take out the Princess first.

A princess. That damned sailor moon was the princess that they had feared the return of. How absurd. She remembered the time she, rather he, spent at the shrine and had watched the interplay between the Senshi of Mars and that girl. Jade could not fathom how that little twit was the enemy of her memories. But she was, and therefore the main target. Even if Jade fell in the first battle, as long as she dragged that brat with her to the depths, it would be worth it.

And so, she opened the gate to move in on her targets.

Current Status:

Silent Heart: Chapter 03: Glaive in prog.

Henko No Kaze: Small rewrite on chapter 01 an chapter 02 in prog.

Trapped: currently going under a heavy rewrite... to those that found it a bit too 'ooc', there was a reason for it, in that there was going to be a prequel that i was going to write. however, considering the time i actually spend on fics these days (or rather the time i spend working on comics) i'm never going to get to it. so instead, i'm going to do the rewrite to reflect more of the original character of the ranma cast. that and there are some parts that i really didn't like in some of the set up. for the most part the story itself will remain unchanged, especially the battle in chapter 5... :3 that is still my favorite bit of writing thus far. i wouldn't bank on anything appearing before new years... but then again, my muse is as fickle as the wind.

Senshi: also under rewrite. a lot of the ideas i had got mixed up, and my writing has gotten better since then. i'm thinking about changing the start of this one pretty heavily.

Nobility: needs a bit of a rewrite, though not as harsh as senshi or trapped. and i've changed where i was going to go with this one. trust me, there is no loss here. this fic was started purely on a bunch of random writing that started to go in a direction, but lost it's steam.

Heaven Above, Heaven Below: Currently dead. If I do anything with it, it'll be to finish out the prologue and and a quick chapter 01... mostly because there is one part that I can't help laugh at and think of ranma everytime I see it.

Beyond: Dead

I am also working on some new fics... mostly because my muse hates me. _;

The first is going to be a Ranma/Macross cross with a slightly different begining then folks are used to as well as using some stuff that i see under utilized in most Ranma/Macross stories. I think you guys will get a kick out of it... if it can get past the 'notepad' stage.

The second and third of the new batch that may come are Ranma/Tenchi crosses. The first will be heavily inspired by "Tenchi and Ranma; Together Forever" by T. H. Tiger, most of the changes will be on the Ranma side of things. The second is also inspired by another R/TM: "Child of the Goddess" by Gekiganger3. Of course you know me, i'll be changing a lot, mostly as I'm just inspired by these fics so they are not going to be straight remakes; rather just my own takes on the base premisses.

Now, whether or not these fics see the light of day, I have no clue; but I'll do what I can.

till next...
