December 22, 2011:

All of my stories are going on hiatus.

To be more specific, all of my stories are going on hiatus until I have completely finished them.

I love writing fanfiction, I really do. For years it has always been my outlet when things get tough. But lately I haven't had the time to do it and I know I can use my free time for more beneficial things. I've also written as much for you guys as for me and lately no one seems to really care. That's not saying no one does, but y'all have pretty much dropped off the face of and it makes me feel quite underappreciated when I do spend my free time putting together plots and chapters and then no one comes by.

I hope you all understand. They'll all be finished, eventually (with perhaps the exception of Draco's Spirit) in due time. I'll just write when I have inspiration and when I find the time to do so. The only things I'll still be posting are one-shots that I feel like writing. On the bright side, once I start posting again, you'll pretty much get a chapter a week. Yay.

So until next time, happy reading.

11/27/11 -- OST has been updated and the contest has begun! I'll keep a tally here of number of entrants and what that means for the prizes. Stay tuned and hope to see you participating!

10/8/11 -- Hey everyone, just something I'd love if you could take a look at. I'm trying to earn a little extra side money by publishing things through AssociatedContent.com, which is partnered with Yahoo. I get more money and opportunities with the more pageviews I get, so I'd really appreciate it if you could drop by my profile and check out any current storires/articles up. Currently I have a poem about autumn published you can read here. Thank you all so much!

8/8/11 -- Wow, it's been a while, eh? Not going to ramble too much, because most of you prolly don't care, but I am going to try and get a chapter of OST out this August. I also just got a Twitter. I will try and post a message or two a week with updates and whatnot. Maybe even snippets you can access on my website for sneak peeks! Also on my Twitter I will be posting links to my stories I write for the Patch. If you have a FB or Patch account I would be ecstatic if you would recommend or comment. I just ask that you only comment about the article and not about anything dealing with fanfiction. If you want to chat about that, just follow me (I think? Still trying to learn how Twitter works) and we can tweet to your heart's content. Username is _IcyPanther (because someone else took IcyPanther. The nerve! =p) Cheerio!

3/20/11 -- Hey all, I know I'm supposed to update BULL today, and it's all ready to go, but Fanfiction.net is having an error and I can't get it up. I'll try again later, but if worst comes to worst i'll upload it tomorrow. Sorry everyone, hope to see you at the chapter later!

1/9/11 -- My first post of the year! :giggle: I hope you're all doing well and enjoying winter. Just wanted to release on here that I uploaded a brand new Dramione fanfic titled "Brewing Up a Little Love" (or BULL for short. I love abbreviations). I would love love love if you guys would go check it out and leave me some feedback. Fanfiction.net is unfortunately being stupid and the hit counter isnt' working, which sucks because I wanted to see how many of you were visiting it. So the only way I know if you're out there is if you leave a review, so pretty please with a toothbrush on top? I'll be updating it every two weeks if that's any incentive. And I promise it will get more funny as it goes on; just trying to set up the situation right now.

Also, for you lovely OST readers there may be a contest opportunity coming up in the near future so keep your eyes peeled!

10/2/10 -- Why hello dear fanfiction-ers. Hope you're all doing well because Life is kicking my butt =p Alas, the life of a senior in college. I'm hoping to be able to find some time in spring semester to crank out a lot of fanfiction. I know, that's not what you want to hear, but I'm trying. Because after May I'll be spending all my time looking for a "real" job and fanfiction will probably be the farthest thing from my mind, sadly.

On another note, I'm a part of the Best Life program where you can get free things (and some really cool ones!) just for recording your steps, submitting recipes, etc. etc. It's all about getting healthy and getting active. I'm trying to get some more points and if any of you were interested please go here to visit the Best Life site and register. If you do, please, in the "friend referral code" please put 95K985 -- it would really help me out. Thanks everyone!

Also, please check out my new website! There's a chat box for you all to bother me with and I'm working on getting stuff uploaded and stored. It's just the "website" link off of this page.

5/19/10 - Hello, hello. So, got some updates for y'all. One, BOW is finally finished. For those asking there will be no epliogue or sequel. Repeat, no epilogue or sequel. I like where I left it and you can all create your own endings for how you want it to work out. No more sequels for me. Today I just finished finals and I am praying that I get an A in my advanced creative writing class. Feel free to pray for me as well, no such thing as too many prayers. I'll be trying to work on OST some this summer as well as two new fics I've got brewing... haha, inside joke.

I highly encourage all of you to check out my new website -- it's the Homepage link. I've got some fun stuff up there as well as I'm busy archiving all my stories. Fun chatbox so please do stop by!

4/7/10- So you have probably all seen BOWS most recent udpate. Expect more soon. I only have about two chapters left to go and I just really want to say that I finished something. I also have a new website (which is still sadly under al ot of construction). I'm trying to load a "chat box" to it, but the site doesn 't like the HTML and keeps changing it, which means the chatbox does not work. Can anyone reccomend a good chatbox website that doesn't have crazy HTML codes? Thanks so much!

1/12/10- So I think an update is an order. I've had many of you via PM, email, or review contact me about my update status. I apologize for the delay; it's been a crazy semester and whatever free time I do have generally ends up being nap time-- being an editor is a lot more work than I was picturing. And to add to this, I got a B in my creative writing class and my news writing class. I'm very depressed about the former, because the professor informed me I lacked plot development and characterization. I'm hurt by her comments (especially since she hardly taught) and it's made me question my writing. News writing is a blow as well, but I don't ever really plan to go into news, but they're still my first B's in college and it hurts a bit. So I ask you all to bear with me as I try to regain some confidence in my writing once more; I'm taking advanced fiction writing starting Feb. 3 with the nasty news writing professor (who also happens to be my adviser and adviser to the newspaper, joy) so that'll probably depress me too. On the plus side, I've taken out my frustration with a new fanfic (I know, you want updates, not something new, I'm sorry) that I'll hopefully be posting in the coming months. It's a Draco/Hermione Drama/Romance/Angst so I hope some of you will tune in. Your comments are always appreciate, more now than ever. Thanks for being patient with me. Btw, I also just turned 21 in December, so yay me!

5/27/09- It has recently come to my attention via BabeCake317 (thank you!) that someone was plagarizing Parenting Class word for word. The story has already been deleted, but I unfortunately did not manage to get the name of the user who posted it. If someone happened to see the fic, it was titled "Parenting" I would greatly appreciate if you could send me the username. As a warning, while I love that you love the story, plagzarizing is not accepted. In any form. There are several users on fanfiction.net (and probably elsewhere) that have used my ideas and baseline of Parenting Class and have stated written permission to use it. If you want to use the idea you are welcome to, just please contact me before posting anything. If you see someone plagarizing, report it immediately. Thanks!

5/21/09- Yosh! Spring term is over! Now I just wait for all my professors to post my grades. It was a good year, but now comes the super busy summer. Work, the newspaper, more work, selling textbooks, etc. etc. Right now I'm super sunburned (owwwww D:) but I'm hoping it'll turn into a tan soon. My laptop also decided it really hates me and I need to replace the LCD screen-- I have all these colored lines on it D: Not sure how much that'll cost, but let's cross our fingers, eh? I'm working on BOW and I'm hoping to finish it up by August before I go back for RA training. We'll see what happens though. Hope everyone has a nice summer! Hopefully I'll update sometime soon :p

5/11/09- Yo! I figured it was time for a quick status report. I have two weeks left of school (yes!) but I'm being swamped with finals and projects D: I have a ton of yearbook stuff I'm trying to finish up (deadline is this wednesday!) and I was recently chosen as the new Arts and Entertainment Editor (or Cadenza as we call it) for my college's newspaper. I'm really excited about it but also really nervous. I also am an RA (resident advisor) for next year. So I get to live on campus! But my duties will be taking a lot of my time. I did manage to somehow get the ONLY co-ed floor on the entire campus. My mom is freaked out, but I'm actually excited-- boyfriend maybe? I also got the dorm with AC and an elevator so despite my room making me claustraphobic I think I'll be good. For fanfics, I've been steadily working on BOW. It's not getting the attention I'd hoped, but oh well. Only a few chapters to go... maybe 4 or 5? It all depends where my keyboard takes me.

Hitsugaya/Hinmori, Hitsugaya/Karin (I used to like Momo, but now she's just a selfish little crybaby and Hitsu deserves better than that. And HitsuKarin just won't work. Go HitsuMatsu!)
