...But there is suffering in life, and there are defeats. No one can avoid them. But it is better to loose some of the battles in the struggles for your dreams than to be defeated without ever knowing what you're fighting for.

On a side note, in a quiz on Quizilla I got this as my yaoi stereotype (more random rubbish, but... aren't they quite fun?):

(COPIED AND PASTED FROM THE QUIZ)
Supreme Seme
You are a very rare breed indeed, and for good reason. If there were a lot of Supreme Seme wandering about, then there would be a LOT of conflict. This is because your kind likes to take control of EVERYTHING. Think alpha male with wolves, but applied to humans. People are either your plaything or they're in the way. You manage to manipulate people into wanting what you want, without them even knowing it. You'll also stop at nothing until you get what you want, doing whatever it takes to get it. And you want more from your uke than just the carnal pleasures of the flesh. You want their mind, body, and soul.
Likeliness of being uke: 0
Likeliness of being seme: 100
Some fellow Supreme Seme: Akio (Shoujo Kakumei Utena), Fuuma (X/1999)

Actually, I don't get the whole seme/uke thing in FF. I hate submissive!uke stories (twitches). I mean come on, they're no different from male/female relationships, right? As if a woman would ever behave like half of the worst of those stories! ...Please, ignore me while I attempt to restrain my feminist side... But seriously, come on guys!

STORY INFORMATION as of 14th NOV 08

SHEN LONG
CHAPTER ONE: COMPLETE
CHAPTER TWO: COMPLETE
CHAPTER THREE: 500 words (sorry guys!)

NOTES: Not really a super!Harry story, as a warning... I was worried it came across that way in chapter two, so I just added this here for now...

THE LAST HOLLOW
CHAPTER 3: NEARLY READY TO POST! ONLY FINAL HUNDRED WORDS TO GO...
EPILOGUE: COMPLETE (who knows how that helps me really... sigh...)

NOTES: The timeline! Well, actually, without spoiling too much of the story, I can say that all timelines are as they were in canon, mostly, except for where space-age advances would intersect in 1993, etc to reach up to date with 195A.D. in the GW universe. So, to make that jumbly explanation simple, it is set some few hundred years AFTER the HP timeline. But, if I explain why certain names come up, it'll spoil the story. I can say thought that there are NO immortal characters in this story, and everyone aged/s normally. Confused yet? Well, I hope so. It's part of the suspense I'm afraid.

EX MACHINA
My pride and joy- a twisted tribute to the G1 episode 'Autobot Spike'. Starscream/Sam pairing (haha!). Sarscream and his Seekers have been labled as traitors by Soundwave and are forced to hide out on Earth, much to their disgust. An accident leaves Sam trapped in a body made from spare parts and the last drop of power from the AllSpark after he is killed by Soundwave, and some misconstrued comments from the Autobots force him to leave. This unlikely bunch of cowards, braggarts and (worst of all) a human, team together to take their revenge on Soundwave, only for a bunch of other odd things to happen as well.
Chapter One: THE AUTOBOT SHELL- posted!
Chapter Two: FLESH MEMORIES

The Doctor Donna
Chapter 5: ...
NOTES: Ah, it is probably worth mentioning that this story isn't a Doctor/Donna pairing. Well, I think they make good friends, and the whole 'sharing a family, but not a relationship' is more interesting to write. Sorry guys...

The Last Possibility
Chapter Three: just started... Ah...
NOTES: The Doctor isn't going to appear until chapter five or six. I did put it in the Harry Potter section after all, with emphasis on that as the setting for it. Okay, setting... wrong word...

Magic & Mechanics
EDIT CHAPTER TWO- COMPLETE
CHAPTER THREE- COMPLETE
CHAPTER FOUR- IN PROGRESS

Broken Healing
NEXT CHAPTER: 1/8TH DONE -hooray!! (trust me, that is an improvement)
I don't want to give up on it, but something about SUPER!Naruto really irks me.

UNTITLED - as yet unreleased (snippet available on my LiveJournal! So much easier now...)
When Harry is summoned to be Shibuya Yuri's new magic tutor during DH (bk7), he is unprepared for life amongst royalty, never mind life amongst royal mazoku (demons)! What follows is an accidental engagement (who knew slapping was so romantic?), lots of knitting, and, oh yeah, a conspiracy which leads back to the legendary Shinou himself... Gwendal/Harry and ConYu! KKM/HP X-Over.

Base Pairings
Sequal: Unlikely
NOTES: Really, I just needed to get it out my system. I'll probably never write something like this again. It's just not really very... uh...
Anyway, it could do with re-vamping at some point in the future (more in-character and what-not), so I might rethink the sequal/prequal/AU(?) some other time in the odd, far-away future... Maybe...

Fanfic100 Livejournal Challenge- Progress
ALLSPARK!Sam Series (for want of better name)
1. Outside, Looking In -complete
2. Inside, Wanting Out -in progress

For snippets of ALL of the above, visit my LiveJournal. To be honest, it has no other purpose, and it gets very lonely.
