Yes, I'm one of those people sorely affected by ff.net's new policy regarding dividers arrrrrgh. Should such a scramble ever happen again, just PM me and I'll try fixing things asap.
Hey, I'm DarkenedSakura, DS, or whatever my nicknames are. I tend to write fanfiction for anime and manga, though there are a few TV things here and there as well. There are stuffs and junks in my life that can be summed up in one word along the lines of "school" or "life" or "stupid" (or "IB") that keep me from getting as much done as I want to, and I like to kvetch about that too. I'm still probably younger than most of you and I'd like to think that I'm capable of writing in-character fanfiction that doesn't hurt someone's eyes. Not sure about that part yet, though. And I beta people's writing more than I actually write, so...hm, yeah. If you want an editing job done, hit me up if you'd like.
And I like reviews. Who doesn't? If you hated something I did, loved it, was meh about it, whatever, let me know. It helps me improve and makes that little "reviews good yay" part of me happy. Sometimes, reviews are better than getting faved or C2'd. Even if you don't have much to say, I'd love to hear it.
I'm really big on writing in-character. Besides the other little things and overly excessive flowery imagery, that's probably the thing that irks me the most. Write IC and save a puppy, you know?
Other writing things, like insanely short one-shots, drabbles, 1sentence challenges, and graphics as well, can be found at my livejournal. There's also a recs comm that Aliora and I run, at fic_me_twice. But all in all, I only post the longer polished oneshots and multi-chaptered fic here, so finding my journal at lj might be the best way to go.
And a blanket disclaimer: I obviously don't own anything I write here, and about 92 percent of my writing is of the dark, dark type. Don't like or can't handle, then don't read.
Major thanks to Rae (astarael00, rae00 @ lj) and Dex (Aliora, princess_dexter @ lj) for being the best betas in the world, and the most patient ones ever for dealing with my fic insecurities and the brain-breakage nature of my writing style. You guys are the best. :)

October 24, 2008 - Am at college. Life is busy. Somehow had time to watch Fate/Stay Night. Found 31 days theme that I adored. Really wanted to write it. Posted. Tired now. 8D I also want to write a Ghost Hunt oneshot for the 31st but ehhhh we'll see.
August 22, 2008 - Mmn, the one-shot of hell's finally done. Took me months and months. Yeah, maybe I adore Elincia way too much. Can't seem to find anyone else that does, at least. D: So yeah, have more of the endless FE9/10 fic. Also, multiparts for Ghost Hunt and Gundam S/D are in the genuine works right now.
June 23, 2008 - Hi, it's been a while, what's up. 8D Well, school's over, IB exam results will be out in...too soon, and yeah, whatever, so I went and wrote stuff because it's been a while and I don't want to get rusty. Though my skills lack anyway, ah well. Really got into Darker than BLACK and thus a bunch of fic will be out for that...maybe even a multipart. Yeah, er, maybe I shouldn't say anything because everything's up in the air right now. But anyway. A random DtB 31_days fic I wrote that just...popped out, with more pairing slants than I first thought would be there.
February 13, 2008 - I really hadn't realized that it's been so long. Just...incredibly busy, ready to die or kill IB, holy my EE is due kinda soon and yet I stay up this late dealing with a fic, etc. So uhm, yeah, loads and loads of Fire Emblem stuff (7, 10, maybe even 6) coming. In the meantime, here's a FE7 fic. Heath/Priscilla, because I can and because I haven't seen many.

Gundam SEED/DESTINY multipart, untitled as of now - Set post-series, and will focus on Athrun and Cagalli, with Kira, Lacus, Mwu, Murrue, and Andrew playing larger roles. It's tentative, but I'm going to try it.
Ghost Hunt multipart, untitled as of now - Set post-novel stuff, and is supposed to basically tie up all the loose ends regarding Naru, Gene, and Mai. Need to get one more piece of research, but otherwise, I've got the basic outline down in my head.
your cross of jewels bathed in gold 10/24/2008 - Yay 31 days, and I love Shirou/Rin but by god there needs to be more of it out there. I love Saber and all, but...yeah, uhm, alternate pairings, I'm weird, etc etc. - Fate/Stay Night
and the queen calls checkmate 8/22/2008 - I tend to make characters more angsty and complicated than most people think they are, heh. Elincia-centric, a lot of Ike/Elincia and some Geoffrey/Elincia, and how painful a death naivety is. - Fire Emblem 9/10
Knocking on Heaven's Door 10/12/2006 - Drabble series for tos_100. Sheena deserves so much more in-character love, really. - Tales of Symphonia
Replacing the Void 9/26/04 - So I lied about the editing. One of these days, I'll get back to this. - Witch Hunter Robin
