Fic Status:

Fortune's Follies- My first fic in a long time and I'm really enjoying writing it. It's nice to explore a new fandom. I still think that Escaflowne is a wonderful series, but it's hard to write for it now... This is my only major project currently. 03/29/08: Chapter 7 is up!

Tears of the Heart- Complete. 06/25/07: Chapter 15, the final chapter, is up! It's finally done!

Forbidden Love- Discontinued. I really loved writing this when I was into DBZ. But I'm really old now and really not interested anymore. I won't remove it, because I know some people really liked it and I hate when authors do that. But I will warn you, I'm never updating this again. If anyone wanted to take this fic over and finish it, I would be more than willing to let them. I always get frustrated with authors who just stop writing their stories, but I understand that people get busy and lose interest. That's a part of life, unfortunately. I feel bad just not finishing it, but unless someone else takes the helm, it is discontinued.

Folkie's Birthday- Complete. This was fun to write when I was bored, but I'm done with it now... Sorry the last part was never really finished, but my interests have changed a lot since I joined this site. I think the good-spirited readers of this will be satisfied though with it as it stands. It was pretty long for a spazzy humor fic...

Wings of an Angel- Complete. Wow, I was so proud of this fic when I wrote it, but now I can't read it without cringing. I won't remove it, because some people really liked it, but I may revamp it so I can tolerate it... I was a really bad writer when I wrote most of these... Or at least really corny/dark...

I Saw Kagome Kissing Santa Claus- Complete. There are parts of this fic that I'd like to go back and change, but I still find it amusing/cute, so it would only be minor changes. Having the Japanese honorifics/words in this bothers me now... I don't know why... One of the few fics I've written that I can still read without cringing...

Forever In Your Memory- Complete. Wow, this is depressing... I don't know why I wrote so many sad fics... I consider myself a fairly happy person. This is definitely better than some of my other old fics though.

Winged Destinies- Discontinued. I don't know if I'll ever come back to this story or not. I really enjoyed writing it, but like I said, I'm not as in to Escaflowne anymore, so it's hard to be inspired. I may come back to it though...

Everybody Loves Miaka!- Complete. Oh Lord... This is pretty weird/stupid, but I still think it's kinda funny...

All I Ever Wanted- Complete. I may delete this. I still have my copy so I can reminisce...

Angel of Dreams- Complete. Wow, another cheesy, long fic I wrote... I won't delete this one either though. Call me a softy.

Never Forget- Complete. I really enjoyed writing this even though I look back on it now and find it super angsty.

What Dragonball Z Characters Do On Their Day Off- Complete. This was the first fic I ever wrote when I was in sixth grade. So I kind of have a sentimental attachment to it and may just never delete it. I'm not as ashamed, because I was 11 when I wrote this, so I can use that as my excuse for it being bad... I may delete this and some other particularly bad fics I have posted this summer.

Anyway, I've grown up considerably and changed a lot since I joined this community seven years ago. When I joined this site, I was in elementary school, and now I'm in college. Wow, I feel old! I hope that none of you are too disappointed about the fics that are being discontinued. It was a hard decision, but I really don't think they'd be good with my lack of interest. I find a lot of the things that I said, wrote, and liked when I was in junior high and elementary school kind of silly now.
