Ich wünsche mir, dass sich meine Kunst als großartig entpuppt!

I do not find it exactly significant to give away information about me, besides being the drawling, lazy idealist glued to the computer screen. Here are other facts that might salvage my image...

a) I am a student as of this year (2008) and probably for the next 9 years or more, and I am currently aiming to be a scholar(?! ...yeah, no kidding.)

b) I am open-minded and I am definitely not perfect

so, if you don't mind, I'd gladly appreciate constructive criticisms concerning my works... ! HECK! ALL WRITERS NEED THIS TO IMPROVE! SO, I'M SIMPLY REMINDING ALL READERS TO LEND A HELPING HAND! THIS GOES TO ALL READERS! DEFINITELY NO EXCEPTIONS, AND NO SLACKING OFF! Hm... I guess we're clear on that one.

c) I strictly believe that everyone has talent

d) I am a debater, my life and love is argumenting... so, to all the flamers out there... (temporarily gets into a Taka-san suit and grabs a tennis racket) BURNING! YES OH, YES! COME ON, BABY!

e) I draw, read and sleep really late to live. I have mastered the art of cooking instant noodles - particularly pancit canton (Filipinos know what I'm talking about very well.) And I might say that I am gifted in accidental photography (the kind where in you don't have to twist the settings of a Canon PS-S3 IS to get good shots), especially on landscape.

Oooohhh yeaaahhh!! I can't believe it! After how many years of being idle in the fiction-writing aspect, I, the mistress of this account, have released stories!

1) At the Last Minute//Final Deception - Death Note - 2 Chapters - ON HIATUS

AtLMFD is currently on hold... I'm extremely sorry for those who have it on alerts! Asurahaya is currently in a dark tunnel- a really long, super dark tunnel. Raito-sama, please give me courage and guidance! (kneels down and prays to Raito-sama)

AtLMFD ANNOUNCEMENT!! (dated 05/07/08)

Okay, so the pilgrimage- the vigil, the candle-lighting and all that stuff- is still ongoing. I really appreciate those who still kept it in their alert lists for the sake of checking if lazy me still works on it. I am, well, sort of. I'm picking different inspirations and am planning to watch Death Note all over again. As one of my aims as an author is to TRY to keep all characters in check, AtLFMD would have to become semi-AU just to allow the original plot to push through. As both Raito-sama and L have both been given concluding, definitive deaths in both anime and manga, I am left with two options- one is to kill one of them and make it so that the story following the death would still hold true; the other is to simply name the proceedings of the story as a random occurrence during the point where Raito-sama and L are both alive and working together against Kira.

Reaching this point, I would like to ask those who have been reading AtLFMD for your honest opinion. This would definitely help as to how I could close this story since the original plan was simply a somewhat elaborate, three-chaptered story. Also, to ask whether I should twist it so that there is a pairing (of course, between those two tensais (gets on knees and adulates pictures of Raito-sama and L).

That's all for now.

2) I'm Not Okay - Card Captor Sakura - 9 Chapters + prologue

I'm Not Okay is inspired by My Chemical Romance's song by the same title. As always, I'm trying my best to keep the characters in their usual selves while at the same time, immersing them in a somewhat AU-ish environment!

3) Chestnuts - Card Captor Sakura - 1 Chapter - COMPLETE!!

Chestnuts was inspired by the traditional song, Chestnuts Roasting on an Open Fire. This one's for light ExT reading during the Christmas season. Nothing too heavy to avoid the 'holiday bulge' I guess. Go Nakuru!

4) Very Cautiously Through the Rain - DN Angel - prologue + 1 chapter

VCTR doesn't have an immediate musical inspiration, as clearly seen in the title. Almost in the same fashion as previous stories I have written (rather, am writing...hehe), it's also semi-AU, given that it is set some time after the defining battle between Dark and Krad. If INO is in London, VCTR is set in Prague; such is the by-product of being too inspired by an ExT fic set in the same city. Like AtLFMD, this is a short, however, multi-chaptered story written with the hope that it does not disrupt the given story, only twisting it somewhat to my delight as the authoress.

5) Poisoned Love - GALS! - prologue

Poisoned Love is the singular, truly AU fic I've concocted so far. Set during the last days of the Tokugawa Shogunate, this would probably be the most meticulous, not to mention, painstaking writing endeavor I've made since INO and AtLFMD. For readers, as a forewarning, each chapter would take really long before being posted online as I would like to try and make this fic as historically accurate as I can configure (sans the original, historical figures I place, of course). This story would probably moved to M-rating later on, not because of limes or cussing (though I might- just might- place some), but because, generally, you don't read such heavy material and call it something fit for teens. But yeah, maybe later on, when the plans are all hatching and all the conspiracies set to unfold.

6) His Name Means White - Card Captor Sakura - prologue

Firstly, HNMW isn't related to my previous CCS fics. Secondly, though it remains an ExT, it is not written to glorify on the good times of the pair. I'm not exactly trying to write a tear-jerker with this story, and I am planning to finish this with five or less chapters, so with these in consideration, please do not expect long, wordy installments. Sounds really serious, huh? Well, come to think of it, we need something like this once and a while.

I guess, that would be all...

Extra Notes:

My avatar is all thanks to ivy of http://www.aethereality.net! Isn't the girl just gorgeous?! From what I've understood, she's the main character from a manwha titled, 'The One'. It's about modeling, but if you ask me, the story's not so exciting as it may seem.

P.S. Those-who-just-LOVE-to-flame-ers,

I really am open-minded and so I am still open for your ahem criticisms...

Again, thank you very much!

P.S.S. On those who have reviewed on certain points besides my story,

I love you Convoy Butterfly!! Please remain as critical as you are! I hope that it's okay for you that I remain to replying to your reviews through PM. Ja!

catharticdeficit! I'm finished with little Toya~ unto the BG then! Please bear with my laziness and I hope I could still make it to your birthday! (sweatdrops ahehehe... when is it anyway?)

P.S.S.S. Regarding my other hobby- drawing,

I do fanarts. And of course, original arts. If you're more interested in that aspect of me, feel free to drop by and comment at http://sashimi-is-love.deviantart.com

Anyways, if your story is under a fandom I know and is supporting a pairing that I love; you could PM me if you would want to try my skills out. Hm... it's practice with a cause- in short a commissioning for free. I don't really mind since I've been an artist without pay for so long now, I'm rather quite used to it. I'll be posting a list of pairings I am willing to tackle. (Probably when I upload the next installment of INO.) The poses are usually worked out from a scene in your story- but modifications are fine.

Well then, I'm off!

vielen Dank to those who have reached this part and have thoroughly read my profile. Most likely, you have an idea of who your honored author is really like. weider, vielen Dank!
