This is a screenname used by two people, Takeide and Minuiko from the other shared SN The Big Pen. It is used as an alternative SN for pairings or stories not considered appropriate by our peers. Which, sadly enough, includes yaoi and strange pairings (stupid homophobes...)... also, it's just to give us some space (I have no idea why...). Lastly, it's for animes and books our friends haven't read/are not obsessed with.

Minu-sama's current obsessions arewith D. Gray-man, Death Note, FullMetal Alchemist, Full Moon wo Sagashite, Ayashi no Ceres, Black Cat.

Fave Pairings:

Ed/Alfons Heiderich, Satoshi/Daisuke, Envy/Ed, Roy/Riza, Roy/Ed, Ed/Al, Sasuke/Naruto, Sakura/Naruto, Gaara/Sakura, Hinata/Naruto, Neji/Lee, Kel/Neal, Kel/Dom, Kel/Joren, Kurama/Hiei, Kurama/Yuusuke, Kyo/Yuki, Bankotsu/Jakotsu, Kagura/Sesshoumaru, Harry/Draco, Remus/Sirius, Milo/Camus, Nuriko/Hotohori, Nuriko/Miaka, Nuriko/Tasuki, Sniper/Seaman, Sensui/Itsuki, Kurapika/Leorio, Gon/Killua, Yuki/Shuichi, etc... the list goes on and on...

New ones include: Kanda/Allen/Rabi (in any combination), Takuto/Mitsuki, Meroko/Izumi, Raito/L, Mello/Near...

Just a note: we're open-minded about pairings, as you can probably tell from the list; we like both yaoi and het, and don't mind yuri, though we don't go searching for it.

Upcoming Stories: Cut Me Loose and Sleeping Beauty

Pairing: Al x Envy. CML dedicated to blue-fox as a birthday fic on March 13, as well as Sleeping Beauty,a one-shot with one-sided Elricest in the FMA Bluebird's Illusion setting.

Posted Stories and Dedications:

Caught in the Rain (the main story, not the chapters) is dedicated to Evil Towel for writing the first Mitarai/Hagiri storyI've read, and for being such an awesome writer! (A/N: I LOVE your stories! Especially the one-shots with Hinata, the Chapter Black things, and "The Grass is Always Greener"! The Freedom Fighter thing (AKA TGIAG) is very intriguing, and your storyline is very interesting! And thanks for reviewing~!)

Kurayami no Akai Bara is a Kurama/Hiei story collaboration between Minuiko, Takeide, and Jineka ( in TheBigPen...)... check it out. We are not confiding in each other, so it should be interesting. xD... on ChapterFour so far and ongoing.

The rest... well, I won't be updating in awhile, so...

Koukyuu no Toriko is currently ongoing and on chapter nine so far.

Rants and Recommendations:

I'm recommending Rose-wisteria not only because I know her in person (which is kinda cool in itself =D), but because she's a great writer, especially in the sheelos pairing of Tales of Symphonia, and is always aspiring to improve herself and her writing, thereby beinga good influence on my own currently juvenile writing.

Oh yeah, and I highly, highly recommend The Best Defense by JoIsBishMyoga.It's a really good Harry Potter Yu Yu Hakusho x-over... I generally hate crossovers. But this story is soooooo good... the sequal to it, A Good Offense, is also really good. I'm just standing by and waiting for updates.

I also recommend Asidian in all of her FMA stories; she's written the best Elricest I've seen yet. My favorite story of hers is no longer Aftermath, even though it is really awesome, because every single thing she's written thus far absolutely blows mymind.

Last of all (for now), is FelisDeityus who wrote Dark Humor, which is also a really really awesome EnvyEd story that is a must-see-or-die kind of thing. She's an awesome artist too, and you should check out her deviantart account and her livejournal too.
