BETA READER:

NOW THAT THE SITE HAS AT LAST ADDED A NEW BETA READER FEATURE, MY FOUR-YEAR-OLD FORUM, "SOKAI'S BETA READER CENTRAL:" MAY NOT BE AS ACTIVE AS IT'S BEEN EVER SINCE ITS CREATION. HOWEVER, AS I'D WRITTEN WITHIN THE FORUM, I WILL STILL KEEP IT OPEN (ALTHOUGH I AM NO LONGER ACCEPTING NEW/ANY SORT OF STAFF, AS YOU CAN JUST BE YOUR OWN BETA READER AS SOON AS YOU ENABLE THE 'BETA READER PROFILE' FUNCTION, SO THERE ISN'T A NEED TO SEND ME FURTHER APPLICATIONS -- WHICH I CANNOT READ, ANYHOW, BECAUSE THE E-MAIL WEBSITE SHUT ITSELF DOWN A FEW YEARS AGO WITHOUT NOTICE -_- ), AND LEAVE THE LINK HERE, JUST IN CASE:

STORY STATUS (ACTIVE, WITHIN THE SERIAL/CHAPTER STORIES SENSE) UPDATES:

1/2/12:

-- SPECIAL NOTE REGARDING A FEW OF MY STORIES (PLEASE READ): --

Seeing as FF . Net has just finally added a proper crossover stories section, separate from normal story searching, I have now accordingly added the following stories into that section (even though I'm not entirely too thrilled about doing so at the moment, as I'm not sure how many people will actively go into that new category to search for either mine or others' x'overs. That, and the actual story search and community addings FOR X'overs hasn't been launched yet. But I hope you will, those who don't have these stories on your alerts, and they add the community feature soon, so MY W.I.T.C.H. C2 can still be in business). Thank you:

-- Beyond Death's Door (into the W.I.T.C.H. and Valkyrie Profile categories)

-- Harry Potter and the Collided Worlds (into the W.I.T.C.H. and Harry Potter categories, even though it also involves Sailormoon)

-- Chrono Guardians (into the W.I.T.C.H. and Chrono Trigger categories)

-- Senshi & Spies: United (into the Sailormoon and Totally Spies categories)

1) "Guardians of Elpis," a re-posting and slight revamp of "Guardians of Eos," has just been posted with chapter one. I hope that those who'd read the first version will read this one, as well, and enjoy it all the same, if not more!

2) "Confessions of An Earth Guardian," my newest W.I.T.C.H. story (which is a 'side story' of sorts to "The Royal Guardian"), has been updated with its sixth chapter for a little while. I hope that anyone interested within reading enjoy(ed) it!

3) "The True Measure of Character and Confidence," my newest Barbie movies (Yes, Barbie LoL) related story (which is based upon the latest, "Barbie: Princess Charm School") has recently been updated with its third chapter. Hope anyone interested enjoys it/reviews.

4) "The Royal Guardian," my W.I.T.C.H. story, has been updated with chapter fifty-two, part two for a little while now, as well! Please to be enjoying its much anticipated conclusion (chapter wise, anyway)!

(And btw, I still need assistance in writing the National Anthem for Marsily, so anyone interested in helping, please PM me.

If still interested in viewing the flag of Marsily (that's featured in the story), here is the link:

5) "Reloaded," my W.I.T.C.H. story, has been updated with another (EXTREMELY long) chapter, or act, as I'm calling them, this time with Act 5 for a good while now. I hope you all enjoy(ed) it (and PLEASE review), hopefully as much as I had quite enjoyed writing it. After the last several, rough weeks I'd experienced, its therapeutic nature was quite welcomed. Anyhow, thank you, again for the growing support for it, as well, and for the growing amount of fanart and the two comic book versions currently being made for it.

6) "To Search For The One," my first Caleb/Taranee W.I.T.C.H. story, has been posted with chapter one for a while now, as well. Enjoy, please, and review.

7) "Tears of Redemption," MY sequel to my "Requiem for a Dream" W.I.T.C.H. story, has been updated with chapter five for a very long while now, as well. I really hope you all enjoy(ed) it, and leave a review, and stay tuned for the next update.

8) "Chrono Guardians," my W.I.T.C.H. story (and crossover with the video game/RPG, "Chrono Trigger") will be updated with chapter three, part two as soon as possible. I hope you all enjoy(ed) it, and leave lots of reviews, and stay tuned for part two! Thank you, as always!

9) "Sirène: HCW," my W.I.T.C.H. story, will be updated as soon as I can manage. I hope you all continue to enjoy the overall story and review, and still please scroll down to the very end of my profile, to read my newly added "section" that will explain what this story's about in case you haven't already. Also, in accordance to the latest chapter, I have placed the three links of what Will, Hay Lin, and Cornelia each look like while within their mermaid forms. So, please, feel free to check them out, and, thanks, as always, for the continued support and growing interest within this story!

2) My "W.I.T.C.H. Crossovers" C2, for those who are familiar with it or would be, has been moved into the "General C2's" section, for those who still have yet to realize this. So, if you haven't yet subscribed to it and were looking for it in its usual "W.I.T.C.H." C2 section but can't find it, that's why. I see that it's starting to get a lot bigger with stories placed into it, as well as acquiring more subscribers. Thanks for the support, and let's keep it coming. =)

ABOUT THE "AUTHOR:"

I'm 27; birthday's on January 15th. I am recently married to a wonderful man (since 5/22/10), am going to be a first time Auntie (courtesy of my older sister =) ) come March 2012, and am a novelist, although sometimes it can be hard (the making it as a novelist part, not the marriage), but I'm trying to hang in there. Just gotta keep telling myself two things:

"This too, shall pass; you're gonna carry that weight,"

and

"Keep moving forward."

I'm a pretty laid back, absolutely in love with words, can be deathly lazy and sometimes sensitive/uptight person (not all the time though; depends on the beef we might have :) ) who hates to see others get hurt or lied to, hating it even more to happen to myself (which, sadly it does...a lot). I also cannot stand rudeness or disrespect of any kind, either giving or getting (which is honestly one of the primary reasons why I no longer bother to review any stories on here when/if I read them, because majority of its authors do not seem to find it thinkable to respond to any of them. -_-), so if ever that happens, I generally wash my hands of the situation and move on from it.

Been here once before in the past as a member, but I lost patience with it. So, now I'm trying again. LoL And apparently it was worth it, because a lot of you truly like me AND my work! Yay. :Dances again: LoL

Anyhow, I am not one of those perfectionists (GOD, no LoL), but when it comes to writing or my art, I go crazy.:) So, yeah; if you think my writing sucks, that's on you. I write for me and only me, however as it turns out, many a person loves my works so there you go. =Þ

IMPORTANT NOTE ABOUT ALL OF MY STORIES POSTED ON HERE:

PLEASE UNDERSTAND (FOR THE LAST, ABSOLUTELY FINAL TIME) THAT I, AS THE WRITER, ACTUALLY DO KNOW WHAT I'M DOING IN EACH STORY I SHALL PRODUCE. SO IF THINGS DON'T SEEM TO MAKE SENSE OR ADD UP, RELAX, WILL YOU? NOT TO MENTION KEEP IN MIND THAT THIS IS A FANFICTION, WHICH MEANS I COULD MAKE ANY OF THE CHARACTERS MYSTERIOUSLY MORPH INTO MEN IF THEY'RE ORIGINALLY WOMEN, BE SUGARY SWEET IF THEY'RE NORMALLY MOODY AND VICE VERSA, OR SPROUT TENTACLES IF I'D HONESTLY WANTED THEM TO.

THAT'S THE BEAUTY AND PREROGATIVE OF FANFICTION. SO IF IT SO HAPPENS THAT YOU DO NOT LIKE IT, DO NOT READ IT. I OF COURSE APPRECIATE THE CONTINUED SUPPORT FROM THE MAJORITY OF MEMBERS AND NON-MEMBERS ON HERE, AND AM IN NO WAY HONESTLY SETTING OUT TO BE DISRESPECTFUL OR "WHINY" IF IT COMES OFF AS SUCH IN THIS NOTE. MOST WHO KNOW ME OR AT LEAST KNOW OF ME ON HERE KNOW THAT I AM TRADITIONALLY PATIENT AND RESPECTFUL TO ALL WHO CROSS MY PATH.

SO, ONCE MORE, I AM SORRY TO SEEM "RUDE" OR BLUNT, BUT I HAVE GROWN MASSIVELY TIRED OF "QUESTIONING" REVIEWS AS THOUGH I AM INCOMPETENT. I UNDERSTAND, ACKNOWLEDGE AND WELCOME CONSTRUCTIVE CRITICISM, BELIEVE ME; HOWEVER, IF IT IS MERELY COMMENTS LIKE "YOU DO REALIZE THAT SHE/HE'S NOT REALLY LIKE THAT IN THE ORIGINAL SERIES, RIGHT? HE/SHE WOULD NEVER DO THAT!" OR "IT SUCKS" OR "IT'S TOO SHORT" THAT PROVIDE ABSOLUTELY NO ASSISTANCE TO THE WRITER RECEIVING THEM ON HOW TO IMPROVE ON THEIR WRITING/STORY, ARE THEREFORE DEEMED "USELESS" AND CONSIDERED "FLAMES."

I MAY NOT BE THE GREATEST WRITER IN THE WORLD AND I'M MORE THAN AWARE OF THAT, BUT I AT LEAST TRY MY BEST AND KNOW THAT I AM ALSO NOT THE "WORST" WRITER, EITHER. THANK YOU.

NOTEWORTHY MENTIONS (IN RELATION TO THIS SITE):

1. My good friend, Senshi of Valis, has posted her latest story, "The Light and the Darkness." It's HER sequel to my W.I.T.C.H. story, "Requiem for a Dream." Since it's based on my story, I already know how this one of hers turns out, as she and HER good friend (and my new one), 5hadow Lady, gave me the rundown of what's what within it so I'd approve, etc. Trust me, it's a good read. =)

So for those who are interested,

HERE IS THE LINK:

http://www.fanfiction.net/s/3147020/1/The_Light_and_the_Darkness

2. My other good friend, Dark Master 1988, has recently posted HIS own sequel spin-off to my W.I.T.C.H. story, "Requiem for a Dream," entitled "Silence of the Awakened." It may have just started, but it's beginning is spectatcular and with great promise. PLEASE go check it out, all you RfaD fans:

http://www.fanfiction.net/s/3617414/1/

3. For those who have read my "The Invisible Man" W.I.T.C.H. oneshot story about Caleb and his feelings for Will, and ended up falling in love with it and begged for me to do a sequel (and I said that I probably would not, personally, but encouraged others to do so should they like), my friend, Lennex, has done so, himself. I recommend that, if you were/still are a fan of my Invisible Man story and craved a sequel, then you should read this wonderful follow-up that he named "Revelations."

HERE IS THE LINK:

http://www.fanfiction.net/s/2941701/1/

4. I'VE MADE AN OFFICIAL WEBSITE FOR MY "REQUIEM FOR A DREAM" AND "TEARS OF A REDEMPTION" STORIES, AND ADDED THE "OFFICIAL" SOUNDTRACK THEMES TO BOTH (STORIES)!! TO VIEW IT, PLEASE CLICK ON THE "HOMEPAGE" LINK UP THERE.

THANX!

STORY SUMMARIES (THAT WOULD BE TOO LONG TO INCLUDE WITHIN MY A/Ns, ACCORDINGLY:

1. "Sirène: HCW:" While inspired by the Australian show, "H2O: Just Add Water," as stated in my first chapter, it is NOT a crossover with it within the traditional sense. I have done quite a bit of research (as always, before beginning a new story) on mermaids all that I can, taking bits and pieces from each new bit of information I have accumulated. So, therefore, it SHOULD be a bit more different than the TV show (although the basic premise of three girls becoming mermaids with special powers over water shall remain).

Next to make note of, is that it will be quite A.U., and even a tad OOC, in that the Guardians of the Veil never were nor ever will be Guardians, and are not ALL close/best friends with one another. I will not reveal much just yet, not until I've posted each chapter accordingly, but please be forewarned of this, so that no one will comment upon it in review. However, this is not to say that I've completely demolished the girls' original personalities or anything, because I haven't. I've simply taken the whole "H2O" premise, and built the W.I.T.C.H. world around that from the ground up within a befitting manner that would/could make sense and be believable.

Do be sure to check back here within this section to see the character "profiles" I will and have already established and will post later on, so as not to further confuse anyone who might read the actual story. I just want to make sure everyone can/will understand where each original character stands/doesn't stand within this "new world" I've created for them, etc.

One more thing. While there are five Guardians, obviously, I will only make three of them become mermaids, just as "H2O" has done. And, as already stated within the first chapter of the story, they are Hay Lin, Cornelia, and Will. Taranee and Irma are/will be involved within this story as semi-major characters, however will not have any sort of magical power to speak of (sorry! LoL).

NEW (10/23/08): To view what the girls look like as mermaids, please, click upon the following links:

--o--

2. "Reloaded:" This, too, while inspired by Takeuchi Naoko's fantastically wonderful manga/anime and even live action series, it is NOT a legit crossover between itself and the workings of W.I.T.C.H. It is intended to be just like "Sirène: HCW," in that I've taken the W.I.T.C.H. characters, and completely immersed them within the established world of another series, in this case, being Sailormoon. They will indeed each become Sailor Senshi, however will still retain the majority of their canon personalities (and original names, obviously), however taken on slight OOC moments due to my having incorporated a few traits of the original senshi they will "mimic," so to speak.

So, I hope that, while reading future chapters of this particular fic, you won't really view it as a parody, but more like an "imitation crossover," much like, again, my "Sirène: HCW" fic. LoL
