Tenika is...

Still seeking an effective control-z function for the last few years. For now she'll just stick with deleting and replacing.

As you may have noticed, several fics have disappeared. Allow me to present my reasons in an itemized fashion.

- Sora's Folktale was removed because: it's just too damn old. Sorry, but no. It's too humiliating to keep it up for the sake of sentimentality alone.
- Blood in Skin Petals was removed because: it is also too damn old, and clichéd now to boot. This is frustrating, because I feel like it still has some original stuff mixed in with the crap (I have yet to see anybody else try to tackle Kaiba's mom--then again, I also live in a box); but I'm transferring a lot of this material to a new story, so. No more of this one, either.
- Being Comfortable, Being Comforted was removed because: of the ungodly sap. Seriously. :o

Which currently leaves What of the Three-Leaf, Playing the Game, and Things to Think About. Don't cross your fingers for two of those. (NOTE: This doesn't mean I've given up work on Playing the Game; it just means that once I start reposting the edited chapters, I'd like to do it with a fresh time stamp.)

Now. Having watched some of my personal favorite fics disappear into the ether without a trace, I have no desire to do the same to anybody out there who might still enjoy these pieces, as much as they make me want to crawl under a rock in humiliation. Accordingly, I will backlog the works listed above in my dashre LJ for anybody who can't stand to see them gone/anybody who wants to visit the museum and see how much more I sucked three/four years ago. So no worries. :) I'm just trying to get some spring cleaning done here.

08/11/09 - My last note made a liar out of me:

Clover writers of all ages and persuasions! I come bearing exciting news! A few days ago I yet again wrote to ff.net in the hopes of getting them to finally, finally, finally add a Clover category, and guess what? THEY TOTALLY DID.

GUYS, IT'S SO EXCITING. There's no fanfiction in it yet so it's not showing up on the main anime/manga page, but we can fix that! (I mean, I just switched What of the Three-Leaf over, but it'll take, like, hours for that to show up.) Quick, hurry and re-categorize your stuff so we can at long last outnumber the Wish writers! (Ah, obscure CLAMP humor. I joke only out of love.)

But seriously, do it.

08/15/09 - Okay, dashre journal has been neatened up. Browse at will. :) - http://dashre.livejournal.com/

And as always, please send all request/complaints through PM. No business in the reviews, pretty please.

09/09/09 - Three new Clover fics posted: Insouciance, These Moments of Which We Are Conscious, and Pigeons and Crumbs. Why all at once?

To commemorate the date, obviously! After all, when else are we going to get a triple repetition of not only the same number, but a number that is in and of itself divisible by three? (In my lifetime, I mean.) That there's magic, folks.

So, please enjoy the fic, and moreover enjoy the rest of your magic night. :D
