Ohayo! I'm Shiruba Neko, aka Ieva, Neko, or Shura. I write mainly Full Metal Alchemist stories (and most if not all are Scar-centric), although I do write other stuff.

My fandoms include (not in any particular order):
~Full Metal Alchemist
~Matrix
~Inuyasha
~Pirates of the Caribbean
~Legend of Zelda (especially Wind Waker)
~Lord of the Rings (books and movie)
~Rurouni Kenshin
~Fruits Basket
~Harry Potter
~Wolf's Rain
~Vampire Game

Beware the slowness of my writing! If I suddenly stop updating anything for an extended period of time (meaning over 2 weeks), feel free to poke me and remind me that there are people waiting on me. By the way, look at my muses, Scar and Envy! The lazy muses I had before quit on me; these two are so much better. So everyone say hi!
Scar: Hey.
Envy: Yo.
They're such great muses that they get their own story! Entitled "Muses O' Doom", it details their adventures as my muses. Much fun for all. Oh, and I am now in possession of a cageful of Spoats (spider-goat chimeras), which are incredibly loyal and will attack flamers, rabid Hughes fangirls after Envy's blood, and those who call Scar-san evil for me. Haha!

Scar Song Collection
Well, I've discovered several songs that I believe fit Scar (FMA) very nicely, and I felt like posting them up. If you know any good ones that aren't on the list, I'd be happy if you'd drop me an e-mail and tell me about them. :3

~Recognize (Flaw)
~Payback (Flaw)
~Only the Strong (Flaw)
~Best I Am (Flaw) NOTE: This one is for his friendship with Al
~Behind Blue Eyes (The Who)
~Nemo (Nightwish)
~Pieces (Sum 41)
~Walking on a Thin Line (Huey Lewis & The News)
~Sad but True (Metallica) NOTE: this is his right arm talking; it's kinda creepy.
~Somewhere I Belong (Linkin Park)
~Crawling (Linkin Park)
~I'm Alive (Disturbed)
~My End Has Come (Ben Moody)

Story Status:

Stories In Progress:

Time Slip: This story is kinda like a present for Scar-san, so me and Envy are the ones working on it (occasionally Scar-san will step in to help a bit). Why is it a present? Because it involves Scar-san getting the chance to see his (entirely sane) niisan again (the thought of this makes me so happy that I want to cry with joy). It's a mini-fic, so will probably be about four chapters long, depending on how much I want to have happen. ON HIATUS (because I can't think of what to happen next, but I am planning on completing this)
Brothers: Been planning this one for a while; it's the sequel to Illness, and it's gonna be a whole lot longer, with longer chapters too. NOTE: I am having some serious writer's block and general apathy with this story, as can probably be seen by the fact that I have not updated it in forever. It is not dead, I will get back to it eventually.
Beauty and the Beast: Although this is technically a collection of oneshots, a lot of them are going to be connected enough that it could be considered something 'in progress'. Also seeing as how it was originally intended as a challenge spanning 30 themes (for the 30 underscore nights community on LJ if anyone was curious), I guess that could count for something that could be completed. There will probably be stuff not from the challenge though, since I really like this pairing. Also apologies for the corny title, it's just the first thing I think of when I think of this pairing.

Stories which will no longer be updated:

Muses O' Doom: Due to various circumstances, most notable of which that this story has actually turned into an RP with two of my friends and their characters and thus there is now far too much to explain and too many characters and yeah. If anyone is absolutely desperate to read more of the adventures of my muses and I, feel free to PM me and I can see about sending you the original chat RP document and possibly the link to the written RP on LJ. I may actually one day finish that Halloween chapter and post it, but other than that no more.
The First Wings: It may or may not have been obvious that I will never update this again. In fact I will probably eventually delete it.

Completed Stories:

Grudging Respect: Well, after a long, hard haul, my first FMA story has finally been completed. (looking back, it is not as good as I thought it was, I may one day edit it but probably will never get around to it, also I'm 99.9 sure there isn't gonna be a sequel)
Illness: It took nearly all summer, but it's over. It was really fun to write, and I'll miss it. Ah, well, that's what sequels are for! (See: Brothers)
