Stories Listed alphabetically :

Anonymity -

Fun bit of yaoi. Slightly open-ended, but no point writing a sequel. It works fine as a stand-alone.

Dogs Do the Silliest Things -

Er... my first yaoi fic. I'm very embarrassed by it, but just look at the number of reviews. How can I possibly take it down? At least my grammar was good, even then.

Guess Who -

Yami B 666's and my pride and joy. It's simple, perhaps not entirely accurate, but it's something everybody can understand. It's the only one of my stories that I don't want to touch, not because it's perfect, but because it's the story I enjoy the most.

I Love Her, I Hate Her -

Definitely not my first Harry Potter story, but my last finished. Could do with some serious editing and plot-shifting, which I'll get around to whenever possible.

I Thought I Knew You -

From back in the day before I discovered that fanfiction is primarily read, honestly, for pairings.

Lost In Translation -

I imagine that everyone who reads this wants to know, did Naruto know it was Sasuke or not? I never intended to give the answer, nor did I know what it was myself, but everyone else certainly has an opinion! Manuca has written this story from Naruto's point of view, so although I neither agree nor disagree with what she thinks the answer is, I recommend it. There's also a wonderful doujinshi of it:

The Break-Up

My latest story, which is completely planned out and will hopefully be completely posted within a short space of time, unlike everything else. The idea of 'bonus points' is somewhat based on the NSW Educational Access Scheme, which doesn't actually give bonus points, but does allow for special compensation if you've experienced a traumatic event during year twelve so that the universities you apply to know your marks are usually better. The idea for this basically came from me and my boyfriend joking about how we should have staged a break-up this year to qualify for EAS. Considering the depressing nature of this story, I'm certainly glad we didn't!

The Bright Young Things -

Written without any real purpose but to have fun. I know the ending, but it's very difficult to reach, which is why I've dropped off it a lot. It's something that needs to be done very carefully, no matter how unserious it is.

The Most Frustrating Week of My Life -

It's difficult to write because with each chapter, I want to raise the ante just a little. Just enough to push them over the edge by the end of it. Very much still active. My main difficulty is figuring out how to differentiate the chapters so that it's not just the same stupid joke every chapter. It needs to be worth reading and not skipping from Chapter One to the end.

The Trial -

Yet another fun one, and one that's changed a lot since I first started writing it. That'd be because I write it so sporadically; sometimes within days, sometimes after several months. This one really shows me how my sense of humour has changed in my writing. Whilst not necessarily any good as a story, I find it interesting to read.

In the Future:

Blind - Sasuke is a vampire, and a highly-ranked one at that. Maybe even greater than Itachi was. But he makes a mistake in biting Naruto, whom for some reason the entire vampire community regards as powerful and important. Sasuke is shoved aside as everyone works to make Naruto the greatest vampire there is, and it drives Sasuke mad with hatred. Supernatural/Suspense

Extermination - Kiba's house needs to be fumigated, so he spends the next two weeks at Shino's house. Since Shino is the fumigator's son, Kiba assumes their house will be bug-free. Not only is he dead wrong, but there are a lot scarier things than bugs in this house. Adventure/Suspense

Hydrophobia - Gaara diagnoses himself as hydrophobic: whenever he gets too near water, he faints, sometimes not waking up for hours. When he faces his phobia by going on a cruise ship, things start going very, very wrong, and he becomes uncertain as to whether he's actually 'fainting', or whether he has a hydrophilic, and very psychotic, second personality living inside him. Horror/Suspense

The Bond - Lily and James switch bodies, but not as some clever ploy to get them together: Lily has just broken up with James, and now not only do they have to endure the awkwardness of being each other, but the pain of being exes. This deals with the real problems of theoretical body-switching, not just, 'Ew, I have to wear a bra!' 'Ew, I have to pee standing up!' There are much worse things to worry about! Humour/Romance
