Greetings, everyone. I am just a young lady who loves to write. Currently, I have five stories posted up here, one which is finished and another a one-shot with multiple endings(that is currently on hiatus). I have just noticed that anonymous reviews were not being let into my reviews, so I have changed that.

Just a note: my computers have a tendency to do stupid things like catch a virus regardless of the fact that they are protected. As such, I am not always able to access my account or my stories. I now own a laptop - hugs Kitty - and love to be online late despite the fact that I have college. I access my account more often now, so if you want to chat with me, please do! I hate being lonely...

MY BETA HAS RETURNED (commence slaving away on stories)

In other news, would someone tell me why Heir has TEN more Alerts than Forgotten Feelings?

June 15, 2009, 12:53AM

Forgotten Feelings is now 50 typed up. However, because of my Beta being halfway around the world, it will take time to go through it and make sure it is without error.

May 21, 2009, 7:25AM

I have the last final of this school year in 35 minutes. My Beta is in India, still doing the Beta work. FF is coming along nicely with 33 of it completed and Beta'd. The new chapter for Heir has an introduction after I finally picked it up. I am working on FF a bit more than Heir. However, Heir has recently received it's 100th review.

Congratulations, Heir!!

May 15, 2009, 11:44PM

My Beta is leaving for India for the summer. I'm quite sad. Heir needs one more review for the big one hundred mark. I'm terrified.

But most of all...

I want my Beta.

March 28, 2009, 12:12AM

Updated Heir just now. Will reply to reviews after work. Enjoy!!

March 20, 2009, 1:08AM

Date has been agreed upon. Heir shall be updated March 28, 2009.

February 11, 2009, 12:13AM

Heir has won the poll. Expect the next chapter sooner than FF's chapter. Thank you to those who voted.

February 7, 2009, 9:52PM

At this time, Heir and Forgotten Feelings are neck and neck in the poll. As such, the story with the most reviews will take priority. Although, because of the lack of insight, it appears that updating might take longer, as the author feels she has done a poor job on the chapters.

February 1, 2009, 5:01PM

I realize I said I would come back sooner, but life gets in the way.

Anyways, on to the things I wish to say. For FF, I know there is going to be some confusion: the way the new chapter reads, changing POV every so often, is not at all like I used to write. But my writing style has changed and I found it entertaining, trying to figure out who it was that said what. Of course, with the coming chapters, readers will begin to detect the changes in a character and will be able to go back and single out a POV (ex: Oh! So THAT was Talon...) from Anew. I've finally managed to get in another character that I wanted as well as re-introduce one. It was fun typing up the chapter. Ah, on a final note regarding FF, my beta and I have recently been looking at songs. We've been giving 'Theme Songs' to the characters so as to get into their heads a little bit. Serenity, of course, has many and the recent 'Theme Song' for her is 'Sober' by P!nk. Talon recently received his 'Theme Song': 'Stab My Back' by The All American Rejects. The other characters are still waiting for their new 'Song'. Atemu, however, seems to be ready to accept 'Wait For You' by Elliot Yamin or 'I Hate Everything About You' by Three Days Grace as his for the current time. Any suggestions?

As for Heir...well, what be said about this second child? It is certainly rising to match FF, but it has yet to fully mature. I do not think it will ever have a definite plot - that's above me at the moment. It will simply continue to be a delicious exercise to keep my writing skills afloat. If it gains more readers, that's great - it does grow on one. I will try to make it continue to be entertaining.

As a final note, it looks like Forgotten Feelings will be the most frequently updated. The poll has FF beating Heir in that category. Please continue to vote - it will close the tenth of February.

January 30, 2009, 7:57PM

Forgotten Feelings and Heir have been updated!

It is such a relief to finally get the chapters up; I hope everyone enjoys them. They both took long to type up and I feel like they might be missing something - Heir more so than FF. It was a difficult journey, but I'm glad it is done and posted. It took longer than I guessed to reply to reviews - but it was fun. It was amazing going back and reading what readers said. i am sorry for the long wait!!

My new beta was a big help - and a little harsh. If anything is wrong - or you suddenly note that Talon seems to have more 'screen time' - blame her! She was also the one who oh so nicely 'persuaded' me to continue writing when I was about to stop. None too gently, may I add. She also gave me a little paragraph that I ended up including in FF's new chapter. If you have something that you would like to see in the future, do send me the idea. I make no promises, but it is possible the ideas will help in other ways. There is much more I would like to say, but for now, that is all. I hope everyone likes the chapters. Please do vote! When the poll closes, I will base which story to write in first.

Much care!

No, I am not kidding. It seriously is two in the morning. What am I doing up at this hour? I am wrapping up the last few things before officially posting the new chapters for FF and Heir. All that is left is responding to reviews. It is, in fact, my favorite part of the lenghty process. However, since I decided to update both stories at the same time, it means responding to all their reviews. Not so easy. For the past four hours, I have worked on getting things finished. I am halfway done with Heir's reviews and about a third of the way done with FF's. However, I am tired and will now take my break. I shall finish replying to the reviews and have the chapters up within 24 hours. But first, to remove the little sneak peek.

All right. Bio page will be updated 'Officially' right after posting the new chapters later on today.

December 26, 2008, 10:02PM

I wonder how many people actually take the time to read this. Well, I'll find out soon enough. Because I feel horrible for not updating when promised, I've decided to post a little snippet of the upcoming chapter here. For those of you who have taken the time to read this, here is your reward. Before continuing on and reading, I would like to request that readers answer the poll at the top of the bio page. It will ultimately decide what will happen. Also, any criticism can be PMed to me. I will understand the need to throw some kunai at me or even some threats. I deserve them. One more note: I recently had a friend inspire me to write by providing a small sample of what she would like to see happen. It was only five sentences and a joke, but it ultimately made its way into the story. As such, I turn to you, readers. If you have any small idea that you like, send it to me. If possible, I will try to fit it into the story. Without further ado, here's a small sneek peek, raw and unedited, at the next chapter: (Sneak Peak Removed 1-30-09).

November 20, 2008, 4:00PM

Yes, I know. It has been a while since I updated Forgotten Feelings or Heir. I had been working on future ideas, but never got around to writing them down - until I received two messages from two different readers. Both were for FF, but ultimately, they were a big help to pushing me to continue on both. Heir I am still hesitant to update; it is still young and growing, but I am not confident in its growth. As such, I don't want to put in too much effort like I did with W.A.W.S. and then end up deleting it. That would really suck. So, I suppose, I'm having trouble shifting to Heir when FF has a larger fan base that waits far too long for updates. Perhaps I should put up a poll...

Regardless, expect an update possible mid-December. Maybe sooner, but most likely not. Unless I decide to surprise. One thing I will say is this: both stories WILL be updated together. Hope that answers a few questions... Although, I only need persistent readers telling me to update to get my mind thinking. It just that those readers tend to be for FF. I apologize for any inconvenience, but I will do my best to make the new chapters of good quality.

P.S.:

I will be in a Twilight mode for a few days - especially after tonight's midnight release I will be attending. Please forgive me if the chapters end up a little weird. Twilight influence...

October 29, 2008, 11:05AM

I have just posted the new chapter for Heir as well as replied to the reviews from last chapter. It really has been too long since I updated it. However, at least it wasn't like Forgotten Feelings. THAT was a wait and I do apologize for it.

I do feel like the sixth chapter of Heir is a little off tone. Perhaps it is because of FF's latest chapter. "Didn't You Know?" really took a lot out of me and creativewise, it was draining just about everything. It was such a difficult chapter to write and perfect, such a different tone to show - it made writting in Heir harder. Heir is a bit more light, though I admit there are dark tints to the story. There is a change, now, though, and to show that was a bit hard. Which is why I believe the new chapter does not truly capture the story's tone. "DYK?" touched the new chapter and made it a little dark. But at least I did get over the writer's block that impeded me from wrapping up the ending of the chapter. Hopefully, the chapter is still liked by readers. I recently ventured into the forums in the DBZ/SM category and was sad to see it mostly dead. I hope it picks up, but somehow I doubt it will happen. That was just another sad note after seeing how Heir was doing. I do love reviews and was a little sad to see it struggled for reviews when it normally picks up reviews pretty easily. I took it as an indication that my writing did suffer a little and wondered what to improve on. Of course, I then turned to FF; since I was in a depressing mood, I figured it would help "DYK?". Surprise, surprise. It did.

A rather lenghty note, but I did wish to put out my thoughts, or at least the gist of them. I hope the new chapter is up to par to the previous ones. I listened to some songs as well for this chapter. Any suggestions, dear readers? I tend to listen to music when typing up the new chapters.

October 18, 2008, 7:05PM

I know it has been more than a month since I last updated Heir and that some readers would like it updated. But with the new chapter for Forgotten Feelings and the amount of time it took to write it, I had no time for it and no inspiration. Right now I am in a slight writer's block for the story. I never planned the story out and doubt I will - which is really bad author behavior, but that's me. Also typical of me, I have started two other stories that I am debating putting up. Neither has a clear plot, of course, but both are SM crossovers. They help take my mind off FF and H and I find myself drawn to them after a particularly nasty struggle with H and FF. I only ask for some patience on the H front - at least it hasn't been six months or more - which is how long readers of FF had to wait for chapters.

Please remember I do not bite, kill, scare. I like to talk to readers and if you wish to say anything, just send me a PM. I'm always happy to be of help.

October 6, 2008, 1:01PM

I've just submitted the new chapter of Forgotten Feelings. I don't think anyone can see just how ecstatic I am to have it up. It's such an amazing feeling! I tried my best and am happy with the outcome - although at the end, some will notice the change. I did drag out a certain scene - I just didn't want to finalize it and it actually took me days to get through it. It's a hard turning point that had to be done and I really didn't want to write it. It was a bit depressing and very difficult to actually get through it. I wonder if readers will know where it is.
I did quite a bit for this chapter. I created a playlist for myself and listened to it while typing up the chapter. The song the musicians play, by the way, is called "La Serennisima" and is by Loreena McKennit. I suggest listening to it. It's a bit funny, to have that playing and reading what the characters are doing/saying. There are quite a few songs that I have used to get inspiration for the upcoming chapters. I'll place the link to the playlist at the bottom of this very long note.
Also, I went ahead and looked for the perfect picture that captured the new setting. I looked around for outfits for some of the characters as well. The link will also be posted at the end.
So, yes, I did a lot for this chapter. Ditched a few hours of sleep and tugged at my hair to try to get things to sound right. The last two scenes nearly killed me - those were the ones that took weeks to get right. But in the end, I think it works out. I want the feeling of struggling to be there to show just how much the group is struggling and/or will struggle. I would love to get reviews for the latest chapter. It's on quite a few faves and story alerts. Then again, hits are a great boost of morale too. This chapter was 35 pages, but it was going to be a little bit longer. Hope is doesn't disappoint.

I have just finished uploading the new and revised chapters 41-47 of Forgotten Feelings. The last one was murder revising. I have yet to venture into the chapters that are 30 pages long and chapter 47 was long. Yes, this will take some time. Yes, I think I may have to skip sleeping. Yes, I am serious. Forget days. This will take months.

August 2, 2008, 6:48PM

I have decided to withhold the responses from the original chapters that are now being replaced with Revised Versions. Should anyone who reviewed Forgotten Feelings in the past wish to have their responses, I have them saved in a separate document and will gladly provide them. I only need a message. Thank you.

June 11, 2008

I uploaded a chapter, though it is small, to FF. It has been long...too long. However, by the end of typing, I felt excited about the story again. I apologize that 'Interlude' was 'off', but the next chapter should definitely be better. Minna-san, arigatou for your support!

It will soon be time to pick up Forgotten Feelings once more. My baby, most readers know I will not stop writing it until the very last chapter. Heir is picking up its own base and seems to be the DBZ/SM crossover I will focus on, thus, eliminating Watch As We Survive. I will soon take that story down. I will return to FF - I need only get my notes and ideas together and meld them into perfect harmony. If there are any questions, the ways to communicate with me are below. Thank you for all your support!

Notes:

Forgotten Child: Finished.

Forgotten Feelings: Chapter 66 will now be written.

Watch Us Survive: Deleted December 22, 2008.

The Park Bench: 'Complete' until further notice.

Heir: The eight chapter titled 'Look Out' is now available.

The other stories that might be coming out:

Prophecy

Royal

Daddy

Clan

These were stories that my old computer had...and now will not allow me to access seeing as how the computer is useless and won't even turn on. I will try to again type them up, but the loss of Daddy was a MAJOR blow - it was to be the next FF. Clan was to be my first attempt at a really planned out story - gone. Prophecy and Royal were just side projects, but combined, the loss of the four really knocked me out.

Prank Call

A new story in the making. There won't be much on this until FF and Heir are farther along. It will be a long story - just my trademark - but apart from that, nothing is really concrete. Yeah, expect a long wait for it.

Politics Suck

Still in the newborn stages like Prank Call, this story will deal with SM and a show I've been wanting to crossover with for a very, very long time. FF began in my freshman year of HS and this in seventh grade. Finally, I think I am ready to sit down and write this story - even though it is plotless and will not come out for a long time.
