Hi All (Sunday, July 1 2007 1:57am)

Phew! School is done for the semester and I'm back! I would like to apologize once again for not updating in...oh, almost a year (DAMN!). It seems all I do when I write these little updates is apologize :P Well, I'll do it now and for any future set backs so:

I'm SORRY!! I'm SORRY!! I'm SORRY!! I'm SORRY!! I'm SORRY!! I'm SORRY!! I REALLY AM SO VERY SORRY EVERYONE!!

LOL, Okay, enough of that, I think I've made my point and I am sincere but then I realized that heck, sometimes you just can't control what goes on in your life and I won't apologize for that. I'm glad there are those of you that still read :D and I REALLY appreciate your support and input.

Updates on me...We'll, I've got many that I would like to post on here but here is the delema (and I'm sure I'm the only one with this quirk) but I...can't get into the groove.

Let's start with how I do my writing process:
first, I come up with an idea
second, I HAVE to - ABSOLUTELY - have to put it down on paper (which is where most of the chapter updates are now) to complete the idea process
usually with this step, I write until I'm satisfied with the development of the plot or whatever (usually about 20-50 pages) on binder or notebook, MOST TIMES - MESSY!
third, I DREAD,DREAD,DREAD typing out my written what the heck I was trying to write
Comprehend the writing (lots of times, I just write something and know where I am going with that...most I have NO clue and need new material)
Muster up the energy to type out the written work (and usually draw blanks at this part even though my ideas are on paper, I usually like to elaborate more when I type it out)
four, read it over - I think this would have to be the most EXHAUSTING part of writing because I usually put a lot of time and energy doing 1-3 and now I've got to look at it AGAIN?! I'm sick and
tired of the same plot! I've had to tweek it so many times and now I've got to read EVERYTHING I've tweeked!
Yeah... I hate this part

But I do want to thank my Beta Cylon One (YAY!) for helping me spot those tricky suckers. I hate my muscle memory because it causes my fingers to type in random letters to form a new word and then I come off looking like a grade school student because I'm a bit dislexic with my typing and I would probably be classified as one of the worst spellers in all of creation. I swear! I do appreciate all of your imputs and the helpful tipoffs on what I did wrong because the gods know I'm FAR from perfect and writing is no exception. THANKS FOR ALL THE HELP ALL!

Now, the whole point of listing my laziness...well, so you can see what a lazy writer I am so don't be disappointed if things don't get updated right away. To tell you the truth, I have NO problem what-so-ever writing or completing 1&2 but beyond that is where the barrier of pen&paper vs. typing holds up the updates. I usually write a new chapter ever 2 weeks of one of my fics but...mustering up the energy to transfer is like pulling a tooth. I appreaciate all of you patient ones out there and believe me, I'm trying to break that cycle so that I can update at a timely manner but old habits die hard. I'll try and add a new updated chapter for all my fics every month but it might not be as consistent as soon as school starts. I'll be going to Japan for a year (Yay!) but I'll keep on writing and I'll tryp to add new updates even during my stay so don't lose hope.

Once again, I thank you all for reading and I hope you enjoy my writing. I plan on posting:

Project Amshas: Chapters: Four, Five, Six & Seven
Demon's Destiny: Chapters Four, Five, Six
Eyes Meet Eyes: Chapters Two & Three
Reunion: Story A Chapter One & Story B Chapter One

Finally, I just posted Chapter three of A Demon's Destiny. I know it was long awaited but I hope you enjoy. Thank you again everyone!!!

Aloha All, (Tuesday, November 28, 2006 10:15pm)

First off,

I HUMBLY ASK FOR YOUR FORGIVENESS if you have been waiting for new installments for both "A Demon's Destiny" as well as "Reassignment: Project Amshas". I've been swamped and if it's any consolation,

I PROMISE YOU, I'll have the newest chapter completed by X-Mas.

Consider it as a tolken of my appreciation for sticking with me for so long as well as consolaton for my tardiness.

To tell you the truth, I've already got the next chapter for Project Amshas written out (it's VERY long) but it's taking me forever just to find time to type it out (plus, I just misplaced my 1st draft note book last week :( ) so it's taking me longer than I projected.

I'm sort of stuck for the 3rd chapter of "A Demon's Destiny" yet, I'm not. I've got the main idea as to what I would like to happen in that chapter but I can't seem to find the words to put it in. It's the whole transfereing 411 from head to pen to screen thing. It's quite litterally blocked from Head to Pen. GRRR! But I promise it will be out as soon as Finals are completed!

I've actually started a new storyline and series from Avatar that will be short and sweet and I promise, it won't take as long as these other fics because of the length. (It was stuck in my head for the past month and I've finally got it down on my C drive :P)
This particular fic is a One Shot but I will have a second and third short series out that will follow directly after this fic. I'll actually be trying a new style or approach as to how I'm gonna tell Kanna's story after she left the Northern Water Tribe Nation all those 60 years ago. I guilty of being a ZuTara fan, but I'll leave it to others to tell their tale for now because Kanna's tale's calling much louder. I will likely have a comic for that short One shot fic too but I'll post it on DeviantArt.

If you guys are also interested, I've got a site on DeviantArt:
http://amerise.deviantart.com/

I'll likely be posting some pictures and updates on that site first before filtering it down here and Mediaminer.org:
http://www.mediaminer.org/user_info.php/137497#fics

Please give me feed back or don't be shy to ask any questions.

Once again I AM SOO SORRY I've had you wait on the next chapters. They wiil be in at the VERY latest 12/25/2006

THANKS AGAIN FOR YOUR SUPPORT!!!

Aloha Everyone, (04/24/2006 @12:31pm)

My compter has been down for the past month and a half and I've not been able to contact anyone other than to work on papers. I'm still waiting for my computer to be sent back from the shop but I'm sorry if you've been waiting since Spring Break. I know, I know, I said that I'd have it done by then (and I do) but I promise 3 chapters by the end of May. ~ Amerise A. Rei

Okay, now I’m in a better mood :P (02/20/2006 @4:12pm)

Well, I might as start from where I was yesterday but ended up losing everything! Grr! I’m still mad but maybe it was my own fault for not realizing that it could happen with my shitty computer but what’s done is done.

Well, I’ve completed the first installment of “Reassignment: Project Amshas”, the challenge that I took up from _. I hope it’s not confusing but hey comments good or bad, as long as it is constructive are always welcomed!

I hope that I could keep up with the story and write in a timely manner of course, some encouragement from readers always help :P. I usually get too caught up in things going on in school and life in general so usually put off all my updates and so forth as a last priority.

To tell you the truth, I totally forgot that I had another blog site up and running until someone made a comment about it just recently. Heh, she just told me that the story was familiar in some way and it was good to hear that someone is still reading my work…even it is isn’t the most recent one. That little comment actually spurred me to start writing again, whether it was my own original storyline or that of a fanfic, So…here I am:P

I’ve posted up two of my other works that I’ve had for a while but recently started to update also. I hope that all of you like them up let me know what you think drop a line…even if it is only one word

Let’s see…

A Demon’s Destiny:

The original storyline was conceived by Sining I’ve got permission, of course and though I’ve kept a lot of the original course of actions going on in the plot, I altered things to add a bit of my own…style, I guess, into it. It’s a Crossover with Ranma ½ and Inuyasha and an Alternative Universe.

Inuyasha received a mortal blow and killing Naraku along with him. Kagome at loss for what to do now that she doesn’t have Inuyasha and have collected and completed the Shikon no Tama, she leaves it in Kaede’s care and hid herself in her own world never to look back.

Ranma after a rough night and strange dreams, awakes with new physical attributes and strength and though he thinks it is a fluke or gift of the gods. He finds that slowly his own attributes are slowly turning into that of someone else. Now he must find the cure or face being erased completely.

Kagome finds someone that has Inuyasha’s physical attributes as well as rude manners after a month of solitude and isolation. Now she is torn apart as this person is spoken for…by many girls but finds her heart go out to him as she herself is a product of reincarnation. Now they must find out what happened to the Shikon no Tama and find cure to help both individuals as well as deal with people from both the past and present

Eyes Meet Eyes:

This is a sort of continuation of Ember’s Tribe and what happen to her band of elves during a long period of prosperity. Sadly, it didn’t last long as a new enemy working with Winnowill are trying to implement their plans for revenge on the elves. Now Ember must find allies not only unknown elves and past comrades, but also seek the aid of Humans.

Ember must also face Recognition as well as form alliances, breaking up her tribe as well as choosing to face the new enemy and possible lose someone close of kin.

Celestial Sword of Cirrus:

This story is based on the SNES game Secret of Mana as well as little snippets of other games such as Breath of Fire (I & II) but the first few chapters will almost be verbatim from SoM. I actually planned on making it only SoM but felt that I need to spice things up a bit. I don’t plan on straying too much from the storyline except for some back stories on some of the characters which is where BoF comes in but I’ll be adding things that I felt should be elaborated on. I actually changed a lot of names and embellished on certain events but if it bothers you that I’ve changed a whole chunk of the story as well as messed with the original names… DON’T READ THIS. This story is definitely not cannon even though it seems to be from the beginning but be prepared for a wild ride because it won’t stay the same probably by the 10th or 15th chapter.

New Reassignment: PROJECT Amshas:

Based on a possible outcome of what would happen in book 7 (okay, so it’s my own speculation) but with a twist to it. After taking on the challenge to write a story about Draco and Percy involving Polyjuice or something that will allow them to trade places.

Draco is hiding out after the debacle of his initiation and was estranged from his parents for shaming his family. Now, living almost like a parasite over the summer, he’s been living his life as other thanks to a handy potion that he learned from his mentor.

Percy was promoted and was assigned to find out more D.E. activity for the ministry as well as find out why as certain ghost is terrorizing people of Diagon Alley.

After finding each other, Percy proposes a switch of some sorts and offers to take his life if he takes his since they were both in situations they don’t quite want to be in and the benefits that they can both reap from such a move. Now all they have to worry about is not being ‘made’.

So...what did we learn about this whole message thing..?

Well, for starters, it was not my fault that the message was fed up and lost in the process but FF.net's thanks to FF.net's maintenience kick in all of a sudden and...

FEEDBACK PEOPLE! I work WELL with comments of encouragementor just comments in general. If a story is stalled, well, that's because I don't have many comments! Leave SOMETHING at least to let me know that someone out there is reading my things andI'mnot just wasting my time with posting on a site other than my own Yahoo!Group.

THANKS!

...Later that day...night...

Okay, It's officially (02/21/2006 @ 12:47am) and I canNOT, I repeat, CANNOT download the damn up dates and some edited chapters to the ones that I've already got posted. If you are interested, I've got a new yahoo group going for just Fan Fiction called AmeriseAthena @ http://groups.yahoo.com/group/AmeriseAthena

Check it out if you can't wait to see the update but I think it'll be a week before I can load anything and by then I'll even have a new chapter for Reassignment: PROJECT Amshas. Hang in there or visit the site but either way, Feedback is KEY!

Yeah, yeah, I know... (02/20/2006)

It's been a while and actually, I just posted new things...okay 'Eyes Meet Eyes' is not quite that new...in fact, I posted that on my other nom de plume and not to mention a wrote an entery similar to this...only longer and just two minutes ago erased (damn computer an it's malfuctions causing the browser to close!) Anyhoo...it's 5:50am and I'm in no mood to write as extensively as I did a half hour ago so here it is...I UPDATE!
Yay.
See? Was that not as fufilling as what I wrote earlier. I'm sure no one reads this any ways and wouldn't want to finds out where I got my inspiration as well as a few extented summaries but even if they did...well, it's gone any how and I'm just too tired at this point. I hope you enjoy the stories and I have a new one I would like to load sometime this week "Reassignment:Project Amshas". Long story about the name which I'm not really willing to go into detail about right now since I did it already earlier...except it didn't save but otherwise enjoy the storys there now and look forward to that one.

(OLD)
What can I say? I love to read and write and on my spare time watch and draw Anime. Honestly, I use this site to keep up with my reading (sad, huh?) but maybe I'll have enough courage to post something sometime in the future. Okay...I guess that one story that I have on the bottom is considered something but...what can I say, I wrote it when I was a freshmen in high school (you can definatly tell by the poor atempt at humor and conversational skills). Back then, I was so afraid of copyright infringment laws but as of now, I might as well tell Squaresoft to their copyright where the sun don't shine (but I still think they may the best RPG's). I really don't suggest that you read my work (which I only uploaded since I felt bad about having an account only for my entertainment purposes) but hey, if you would like something good to read, look at my favorites section. I'm a bit of a sap (okay...a BIG SAP) and I love my mismatched pairings and so forth. I have another webpage for my stories but...eehh...it's okay. Well, it's listed at the top but if not I have a blog site at http://writtenworld.blogdrive.com/ or http://www.fictionpress.com/~athenarei Well, that's my life in a nutshell. TTFN
