I figured it would be a good time to add a little information here:

I had figured that I would never post this piece of information but based on some of the odd PMs I get from people I think I would point out that yes, I am a female. So you can now stop pestering me.

I don't think in a very orderly fashion and am often told that I am very random. It shows in that I usually plan out a story with an outline and fill in areas in the order that seems to fit for that day. It is entirely possible to for me to write Chapter 5 before 2, 3, and 4 are done.

Someone also asked me how I usually write out a chapter and how long it takes. I like chapters to be about 3 to 5 thousand words but I have written smaller and larger ones. It usually takes me 4 to 5 hours to create a chapter after I have everything planned out. I just sit down and visualize everything and try to describe it all as I see it happening in my head. The writing usually only takes about 1 to 2 hours but then comes the proof reading. Oh God is that ever a mess because I often see things in my mind faster than I can type (I type at about 115 words per minute) and things get dropped, altered, or switched around. Other times I reread a section and go, what the heck is this crap, as I can't even figure it out. So I usually waste an hour playing a video game before doing the proof reading because if I do it too soon things are still too fresh in my head and I miss too many of the mistakes. So a morning or afternoon will allow me to produce a chapter to a story.

I have two main ideas for Terminator stories and they have been bugging the heck out of me for a long time. The first is in the story, The Third Opponent, and the second is in a story, Everything Goes Wrong. I had at one point thought they could be together but they are really mutually exclusive.

After chatting with a friend I am planning on later making a TSCC crossover with the show Fringe. It will be a while before that one appears because I need some ideas and I want to finish a few of the other irons in the fire. Also, I have been working a piece of totally original fiction so that is one of the other reasons why I haven't been as quick at updating as of recent. I will let you know where to find it once I have it in a form that is ready for people to view.

The Third Opponent: This story involves is mainly centered around John and Cameron but I also include most of the other characters as it progresses. The John in this story is very smart and a good planner. I was so darn tired of the wimpy John from the show I figured I wanted someone who could really be the John Connor people should believe in. Also, it starts from the very beginning and quickly John runs into another opponent in the mess that is his life. WARNING - This story is going to be quite large.

Everything Goes Wrong: Starts right at the car bomb explodes however we have a Cameron who is very mangled and torn up in the blast. Also, John decides to take off on his own in a quest to repair his friend. I'm going to turn the wimpy useless John into someone people can believe in and many changes will happen to Cameron in this story. I have already planned out the ending for this one so it isn't going to be very big story but I plan to continue on its foundation in a another story I have outlined.

Good news: I'm just about done with the next chapter of Everything Goes Wrong and I'm going to have a few people preread it since I think it needs some work in a few places. However, I plan on posting it in the next 2 weeks at the most.

I'm sure some of my readers out there are wondering why I haven't posted to Everything Goes Wrong recently. Well the truth is that I have been rather depressed and annoyed at stuff and it came through in my writing way too much and it made the chapters I was working just horribly different from the rest of the story. So, I have to take a small break on it for the moment. Sorry but that is just they way it is as I don't do very well with the holidays. Hopefully, it won't be long before I can start writing for it again and knowing my usual turn around time after the holiday season I would suspect it will be around Feb or March. Just be patient.

Now the other topic is that I have decided to start a new story in the mean time that fits really well with my mood but I'm going back to stuff I grew up with. I'm going to do a Slayers and Sailor Moon cross and perhaps toss in a little Ranma 1/2 but I'm not sure on that front. Anyways, don't worry I have a lot planned for Everything Goes Wrong as one of my friends knows but for some reason she has been disappearing on me far too much recently.

Ok, I'm done ranting for the moment!

This is going to be Fun: This is an AU of Sailor moon and Ranma ½ where the girls in Sailor Moon don't get awakened until they are older, around 19 for the inners. For Ranma and crew we are going to join them when Ranma and Akane are going to be starting their senior year and Nabiki is trying to get everything all setup for college as she leaves home. Also, I'm going to make things quiet a bit more serious and really change some of the characters. We will join them in the middle of Pharaoh 90 and Mistress 9 events and after Ranma has been through everything in the Manga for the major events. However, a surprise is lurking for them because in one battle the Senshi accidentally manage to awaken an enemy unlike any other they will or ever have met and one who will prove to be the more difficult than they could have ever imagined. Who is this new enemy, well Xellos, of course. Also, this story is going to really focus on Xellos and how he plots to reshape the world to his liking and pursues his various plots all the while dragging the Senshi and the Nermina Wrecking Crew into it. Also many things are going to be totally different in the world so try to keep an open mind but mainly I'm going to have some good fun with my favorite slayers character, cast of magical girls, and nutcase martial artists.
