Specially Recognized Stories:
"The Chronicles of Kakashi and the Kunoichi from Thunder Country" won first place in Mediminer's annual contest for Action/Adventure 2008 - very surprising since I'm not a good action writer, but I did work very hard on the action scenes, so I'm very happy.
"The Curative Career of Kaori the Ninja Nurse" placed third for romance in Mediminer's annual contest 2008 .
"The Amorous Adventures of Ayame the Ramen Girl" won for best quote in Mediminer's annual contest 2008 . I've been thinking of working on a book of ramen philosophy.
My first original original, "Sounds of Somnambulism" placed third for horror in Mediminer's annual contest. It can be found here: http://www.mediaminer.org/fanfic/view_st.php/153442/
"The Elusive Illusive American Dream" won 1st place in Mediaminer's Fall/Winter Contest 2007. Available here: http://www.mediaminer.org/fanfic/view_st.php/148962/
"The Curative Career of Kaori the Ninja Nurse" won 2nd place in Divergence in Mediaminer's Annual Contest
"The Constant Iteration of the Eternal Soul" won first place in Mediaminer's Fall Contest 2006, my third original story available at http://www.mediaminer.org/fanfic/view_st.php/131145/
"Dusk of the Living Gods" won second place in Mediaminer's Summer Wish Contest 2006. My second original story. Anyone interested can check it out here: http://www.mediaminer.org/fanfic/view_st.php/125133/
"Why Icha Icha Books Are Better Than Women" - lol, someone wants to sing the "Drunken Ninja" song (based on "Drunken Sailor") at an anime convention.
"Tsukuyomi Dreams" (in "Excerpts from Kakashi's Diary") - won first place in Mediaminer's Annual Contest 2006 for a Special Category - Auld Lang Syne.
"Why Sake Bottles Are Better Than Men" was translated for a Spanish fanfic http://transfanfic.host.sk/naruto/ as "Por qué las botellas de cerveza son mejores que los hombres"
"Birth of a Monster" won a judge's choice for Mediaminer's Sacrificial Spring Contest 2006, basically fourth place :) "Monster" is a wonderful adult anime, drawn and written realistically about the hunt for a serial killer.
"A Winter's Flight" - won second place in Mediaminer's Winter Fantasy Contest 2005. First original story I've written in a very very long time. Anyone interested can check it out here: http://www.mediaminer.org/fanfic/view_st.php/114979/ Someone claiming to be a teacher contacted me to see if I'm the original writer of "A Winter's Flight." Apparently his student claims he/she wrote it four years ago with help from a relative and tutor! I wrote it a year and a half ago with no beta and it placed second in a contest. Plagiarism is bad, plagiarism to get good grades is worse :(
"The Resurrecting Scroll" (in "Excerpts from Kakashi's Diary") - won first place in Mediaminer's Sacrificial Spring Contest 2005
For some reason "silver" hair annoys me when describing Kakashi. I will only use "gray" unless it's reflecting moonlight!
Received an interesting comment on my KKT story. Reviewer said I was able to write Kakashi in character given an out of char situation (in a relationship). I finally realized why I have not yet found a believable Kakashi romance - it's because it's OOC for him.
Today I feel like discussing my take on Kakashi's character. To me, he is about control. He is in control of his feelings, of how people perceive him, and of whatever situation he's in. He is also a very private/mysterious person. To write stories keeping Kakashi in character means that he will not openly socialize with his fellow jounin (or Iruka!) in a bar or restaurant or party. He has as much angst as anyone else but he will not angst in public. If he's going to get drunk it will be at home alone. I've come across many well written Kakashi-centric stories (admittedly better written and much more reviewed than mine) but the authors take liberties (as is their right) with his character which I try hard to avoid. This ends my fanatical thoughts for today.
Someone ANBU-ed my "Sake" story. Yes, I know it's a gloriously stupid story, but it's a character parody, not a pro or anti feminist parody. The reviewer misquoted, misparaphrased, and misinterpreted virtually everything! And he/she does not write for Naruto, but writes for One Piece (blech!) It's a parody of how the guys in Naruto fics are treated as gays or perverts. There's more going on in that story but you'll have to read it for yourself.
I've recently decided that my goal in life is to strive to be the premiere Kakashi non-yaoi writer! I dislike Kakashi yaoi (though I have nothing against yaoi in general) and drunk angsty Kakashi, but I hate Kakashi-Sakura. (Yes, I know I'm pathetically obsessed.) I'm fanatical about keeping characters in character unless it's for parody. The most flattering reviews to me are the ones which say I keep Kakashi in char because he is hard to write for compared to most other chars. I like writing for the Konoha adults rather than the genin because I'm closer in age to them.
Background: Majored in chemistry, minored in computer science and East Asian studies, and 2 years of graduate studies in forensic science, so my stories sometimes have a scientific/analytical slant. Currently a bored government worker.

About my stories: Currently obsessed with the Naruto anime. I'm usually only motivated to write about Kakashi - working on series of stories with Kakashi and a seriously mental kunoichi. Stories are episodic but also linked so that the end will be a full book. First four stories will be undergoing rewrites. Find out how Kakashi's last mission to Thunder Country results in Hinata's kidnapping and Naruto becoming Hokage!

Book 1: Kakashi and the Kunoichi from Thunder Country (rewrite completed)
The first part of the story follows Kakashi's new genin team through the same trials as Naruto's team with some different strategies. The girl and Kakashi have dark secrets that intertwine. Will she end up killing Kakashi or worse? Story covers 18 years, the first part mainly takes place about 3 years after the current Naruto timeline and ignores events after episode 65.
Book 2: Kakashi's Stolen Sharingan (currently undergoing revision)
