Hello people and welcome to the user lookup...
About the author: I am utterly lazy. You can find me most days here reading, talking to my beta online, watching anime, and playing on neopets. -smirk- Not really what you wanted to know, but this is what you get.
Anime currently watching: Too many! Thank goodness a good chunk of them are ending (and I can make room on my hard drive). I'm totally not liking the fall lineup. No offense to anyone who likes these shows, but there are too many "girly" shows out there. There's not enough variation. I want the blood, the guts, the gore...but what do I get? SIX different harems to choose from. -headdesk-
Reading: I finally got my LLQP book. Yay!! If anyone knows what that is, you are laughing at me, and for those that have no idea...just shake your head.
Movies: ... none that I can think of. I seen a lot of movies, but nothing that screams "tell them"

Finally:
The only difference between a rut and a grave is their dimensions. - Ellen Glasgow
Story to read of the Month:
Nightwalker’s song: My first real drabble (granted it's not 100 words). It's cute and psycho-y. Just the way I like 'em.
About the stories:
Seigikan: (in progress) The story follows Raito as he plays mind games with our favorite detective. This story was mainly written because Raito was too OOC in many fics (yes I cried) and before I start a riot, I'm not saying yours personally is OOC...I'm just stating MOST of them are. Here are some of the questions I got via reviews and personal messages:
Question: What does the title mean?
Answer: Sense of Justice
Question: Will they fall in love and live happily ever after?
Answer: I get this question a lot actually. My answer is no. If you want one of those, go read one of the many OOC fics out there.
Question: Why is Raito so mean?
Answer: (blank look) Someone hasn't read the manga or seen the anime...or even the movie (cackles)
Question: L seems a tad on the OOC-side...
Answer: Actually he's not. First, this is Raito's perception of him; and secondly, you can be a genious but still be naive to the ways of the real world.
Question: When will you update? or the infamous "update soon"
Answer: Dude, I just updated! I try to write as much as possible, but there are times when I don't feel like writing...
Question: Will this follow the manga?
Answer: Well this was supposed to be a one-shot and now it's not...so no. (if you've read the first chapter you'll know why)
Comment: I love Raito in your story
My Comment back: Thank you. I do too. This is the way he's supposed to be written.
More Q&A to come as the story progresses. If you haven't read it yet...then what are you waiting for?
D&T: Complete. My long novella is finally complete. Something a little away from the norm ;)
LIOAP: is currently on hold. Which probably means forever.
Inevitability: Complete. Sucks. Read it.
Fighting Fate: Complete. My little pride and psychotic joy. (even has a side fic).
Challenge fics: (as marked) One shots. This is a contest from my beta reader.
Round one: She gives me a pairing, and I write the story. End of challenge. Sounds easy, but when she gives you pairings like Susumu/Saitou, Aoshi/Kamatari, and future ones like Integra/Walter, Envy/Roy...you have to get creative or you seem repetitive.
Update: all are complete and ready for reading
Round two, three and four and ...: Allow your media player to randomly pick three/five songs and write a fic about it. Not the typical song fics...meaning no one breaks out into broadway musical singing (can't stand those)...althought that would make for an interesting fic. Read one if you're uncertain, and find out for yourself.
Read them, they are all short, mildly cute and entertaining.
My challenges are on my beta's lookup. She writes some really wicked stuff! Check her out. http://www.fanfiction.net/u/69863/
Now run along and read something. Reading sparks the creative edge, and makes you smarter or so they say...
