I guess I'll finally put some relevant info here. Thanks to those who've shown concern, but I'm still around and kicking!

Currently serving in the military at FOB Speicher near Tikrit, Iraq. I am a notorousily slow writer and for that I apologize. Sometimes, I am just not in the mood to write for months at a time. I don't like small updates for stories (less than 1500 words), so I don't do them with my stories. Hence the long delays between chapters.

Tenchi Muyo Stories:

I know its been almost a year for the next chapter to People's Prince, but I really don't like what I had written for this chapter and am currently rewritting the whole chapter. It is going to be awhile, unless I get into a grove one weekend. I am going to seriously alter Mihoshi's personality in this and future chapters though I will argue she is still in character. Some may like it and think her fun, others may not, but I will attempt to put into context Mihoshi's long list of partners. All so thanks to everyone who pointed out the problem with Sana knowing about Megami's masters true name. I'll try and fix that.

Zelda Stories:

The next chapter of Ascension is chugging right along. I like this chaptera lot as this is when things will really begin and you will see sides start to form. You may be surprised as to who allies with whom and then again maybe not. A lot of readers have already guessed who a lot of the characters and the alter ego's (for lack of a better word) are. Still there are quite a few mysteries left. This chapter is more violent than the last by a large margin so take care if that sort of thing bothers you. It will be no more violent than the initial chapters though.

A have a one shot Zelda story almost done. I hope you find it as enjoyeable as Ascension. Its premise is an teenage Link who is quite clueless to the extent of his popularity with the opposite sex.

Love Hina

Love Hina is not one of my favorite anime of manga, but it is one of my favorite as far as fanfiction. I've read a lot of Love Hina stories, my leanings being towards Motoko, Mutsumi or Shinobu focused stories. I think you'll find my "Coming Around" story quite unique as I haven't read one quite like it.

Urusei Yatsura

This is argueably my favorite series, either manga or anime. I just wish I was better at writing fanfics with its characters...

Ah My Goddess

In the recent graphic novel released, Keiichi comes to terms with the fact that while Belldandy's life is eternal, his is not and death will eventually separate them. But his soul is forever and what about the next life? And will the other goddesses and other worldly ladies charmed by K1 let Bell have him again now that this next incarnation of K1 is born?

This next story will take place after the angel eater story arc. They say there is no closer relationship than a goddess and her angel, therefore no one has been closer to Rind (or Lind) than the mortal Keiichi who shared her soul for a time.

Crossovers

I hate crossovers as they invariably ruin one set of characters for the sake of another set of characters. I have rarely read a crossover that does not do this depite prostestations for the author's that they will not do this. I think Ranam crossovers are the worst offenders of this myself. Not one to complain without atleast trying myself I've written a number of crossovers myself as I think they can be what fanfiction is all about.

Puttting on Heirs

I like this story, but I may sacrafice for a more encompassing crossover between Ranma 1/2, Tenchi and UY. I haven't made the final decision. I'll most likely post the first chapter of the new story and see how it is received.

Second Best

Like I said I have read few crossovers that I like and almost none that crossover Ranma and Tenchi. Most authors of these crossovers can't seem to accept the fact that most of the characters in Tenchi Muyo outclass the character in Ranma in terms of power by factors of a hundred. Sparring I suppose one could argue favors Ranma's crew, but in a real fight? Just watch the third OAV of Tenchi to find the answer to that question. Ranma may very well be the best martial artist on the planet, but Tenchi can destroy dimensions! Ranma may be excellent at aerial combat, but Ryoko can actually fly. And if Aeka decided to place a shrinking forcefield around Ranma's head, what could he really do about it? This is not to say I have something against Ranma or any of the characters in Ranma 1/2, but Ranma is not god's gift to the universe.
