Author has written 64 stories for Naruto, and Grey's Anatomy. 21/08/08 To all An Unknown Engagement readers~ So I'm sorry that I haven't been updating like I said I would, my mind's really not been on this fic and to tell the truth, I haven't been doing very much writing at all. I'm currently working on editing the chapters and I hope that that will jumpstart my muse and get me back into this storyline. I'm sorry for taking so long. Toodles~ Bio: I'm a girl and a Christian. "Jesus is the way, the truth and the life. None may enter in except through Him." I'm 18, I love anime and I'm currently obsessed with Naruto. Although Saiyuki is my number one all time favourite, especially Mr. Cho Hakkai. I only read Naruto fics currently. I ship ShikaTema, like a whole bunch of others, namely NejiTen, NaruHina and SasuSaku. I'm definitely learning to love GaaSaku (as an alt. pairing). I love the Sand Sibs, my favourite characters, almost too much! Priorities: Portrait - my KankurouxOC story. It was supposed to be a one-shot but after I wrote the first chapter, the ideas just kept coming. The main action is complete but I'm currently working on a bonus arc. An Unknown Engagement - my GaaraxOC fic. Still in progress. Chapter 21 is now up. Pictures of You - an anthology of shorts based off of prompts from the 31 days community on LJ. Frequently updated. Selfish - a collection of scenes featuring the Sand Sibs and centring around food. Working on Chapter 9. I, yumi-maki, do solemnly swear to review all the fics I enjoy, regardless of the number of reviews, its age, or anything else. I have joined the Review Revolution. Post this same thing in your profile and spread the love! Literature is not simply made with truth or reality. IT is a kind of reality. It is as if one was in another dimension. - Dany Laferriere, a Haitian author Maki | |||||||
