Hiatus: The impossible has happened. I met a guy who actually wants to date me. Unfortunately, he believes he's more important than fanfiction. Since we're in that stage where we're spend a lot of time on the phone trying to get to know each other, for the time being I have to agree. He's also expressed an interest in reading my original fiction and helping me improve it, which is a really awesome opportunity, since he has some military experience and I tend to write a lot of sci-fi military stuff. Anyway, I don't know if anyone was super attached to any of my stories, but if anyone is, I apologize for the lack of updates. I should post again when school lets out for the semester in a few weeks.

Plagiarism Rant:
Plagiarism is truly a horrible thing. If an idea or a character isn't yours, you must always ask before borrowing it. Yes, imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, but copying is not.
Story status as of 1/31/07:
All the King's Horses: Basically, it's done. I'm working on a sequel that will require an epilogue for All the King's Horses. The epilogue will be in several parts and will also serve as a prologue for the next story. I'm hoping to at least start posting the epilogue very soon, maybe later today or tomorrow. Definitely by this weekend.
All the King's Men: I'm struggling with this a little, mostly because I haven't figured out how much I want to do with it. I want to get a good deal of character development done, but I'm not sure how much is too much.
Kings Will Kneel: I've decided to get a little dark with this story. I know it seems like it's dragging right now, but eventually the pace will pick up and things will get more interesting. Achilles will return in some form, but I haven't decided in what capacity. No matter what I'm absolutely going to slaughter the back story from both the movie and Greek mythology. AUs rock sometimes, right?
Xs and Os: I've figured out an ending for this one, and eventually I'll get it there. I'm just struggling a little with a few plot details, but once I get those worked out it'll just be a matter of writing the rest of the story.
Sincerely (Sequel to Xs and Os): Lightning finally struck me for this one, and right now I'm on fire with it. The next chapter or two will start getting into the next phase of the story, and I think it'll be really good once I get into the main conflict of the plot. I'm really excited about it, so everyone should definitely read it! Lol.
Cutting Loose: I've started on the next chapter, and when I get time I'll finish it and post. It's a good one so far, I think...
Playing By the Rules: I've got a bunch of this written, but I need some filler for the plot between where it is now, and where it's going. When I get time I'll post the next chapter after I look it over and edit a little more.
Out There: Well, someday this is going to be a really awesome story that no one will ever read. I seriously have some great ideas for it, but I'm not doing them justice at the moment. Someday I'm going to go back and rewrite this, and then maybe it'll be good.
Falling Stars: I've started on the next chapter, but I need some filler to connect a couple points in the plot together. I just haven't been ina writing mode lately, so hopefully at some point I'll get motivated and find time to dedicate to some of this stuff.
I'm 21, I'm in college, and I've got some new and old original writing (not all of it good, but some worth looking at) at the address below.

Disclaimer: I don't own any of the characters from any of the universes I might be writing within. I definitely ain't making any money doing this. BUT I DO own all of my OFCs and OMCs, and before anyone else can use them they gotta ask. (Under the totally far out circumstances that anyone would want to borrow a character from me, please don't think I'm mean if I say no. Some of my characters are totally expendable, but some, like Dom from All the King's Horses, are super important to me. I've put in literally hundreds of hours just on developing Dom's character over the years, so I'm very protective of him and several of my OCs that are connected to him in some way. I'm no George Lucas. I'm a complete control freak when it comes to what I'll let others do with my creations.)
