Reading: Death Note

Basically, I love to write. Especially the yaoi kind. One day, I hope to write such an awesome story that maybe they would even make a movie out of it! Like Harry Potter, or something like that...It's still in the works though.

MAJOR UPDATE: My once-beloved laptop had many plot outlines concerning certain fics that are now currently unable to recover. This includes IIDA, Jou's Guide, Digital Inspiration, Starcrossed and Ultimate Chance. To say I'm pissed would be an understatement. My computer flatlined due to my neglect of keep it up-to-date with viruses and worms and is now unable to boot no matter how hard I try. While I try to fix it (or throw it in the trash and get a new one...whichever comes first), all stories from said above will be reread by me and will post a tentative chapter to each, for my apology to you the readers. Updates are currently in order:
1) Jou's Guide
2) IIDA
3) Ultimate Chance
4) Starcrossed

Work In Progress:

Infiltration Into Duel Academy- Because of popular demand of this fic, it's at the top of my list of priorities. So...right...um, actually, I think I've written up the new chapter a couple of months ago, but was not happy with it and needed some serious editing. I might need to look it up again on my word document. Yeah, I admit that I haven't updated in MONTHS, but, as I am a stress-induced college frosh, there is barely any leeway for me to even sit at a computer for five minutes. So please, for your benefit and mines, keep me on your ALERT list for the new chapter to come up. (Update: This is second on my list to involve a new chapter. Cross your fingers!)

Lasting Impressions 2- I'm actually worried about this little number since I've lost a great amount of inspiration for this. I think it would be less complicated if I finished IIDA first, then we'll talk business. (Plus, I can't remember my plot! cries) (Update: I'm discontinuing this. I forgot the plot and my inspiration has moved on. Sorry for the inconvenience!)

Digital Romance 02- This story is consisted of random drabbles, so I can update it anytime I want. Right now, the first chapter is up and I'm cool with it. To tell you the truth, this shouldn't really be on my priority list because it's a drabble fic, but ehh...I'm in the Digimon haze in the moment and I've got to shake it off...Plus, Ken-kun's so adorable. Sigh.

Operation STARCROSSED- I think it's my first hetero fic...(be still my beating heart). It's my first cartoon based fic too. I had never thought in a million years of writing a fic dedicated to children, but it's kind of a thing of me to try my hand at something completely different (it's the writer in me). And I'll be damned if I mess this one up too, like Duel Academy...(will I ever finish the damn story?!). So anyways, it was supposed to be a cutsy fic in a relevance of a couple of chapters, but as you already know, I'm more of an elaborant storyteller, having to complete a complete belief in a hundred chapters (like Lasting Impressions...). Where was I? Oh, yes. Well, it became very important to me to go through this with a bang, so I started something called a 'Plot point system', like I did with Lasting Impressions. You'd be amazed how organized I am at this thing than I am at cleaning my room...Anyways, when I'm finished with this, you'll see how confusing it gets, because that's how I am...! This is the only current story so far, that is almost finished. I think there's two or three chapters left. (Update: Sooner or later this will be finished, but my laptop which had all my outlines has been shot and therefore I must reread the clues I left for myself in the story and finish it from there.)

Jou's Guide to Becoming the Perfect Boyfriend- Jeez, such a long title, I keep forgetting how it went! So, what happened was I was watching Yu-Gi-Oh! the Abridged Series and seeing that one scene where Kaiba got Jou into a dog outfit in episode 7 and telling him to shut up and bend over...we all know what happened next. Yeah, that was my shameless inspiration. There was also that dream where I dreamt that Jou was teaching Kaiba how to love someone and it blew me away when I woke up for school. So, I said, "What the hell." And wrote an outline. Neato. Basically, I've got the greenlight for 10 chapters, but we'll see how it turns out by reviews. If it's a bust, I'll shorten it. And, IIDA?? (Update: Found inspiration, new chapter under construction! Yay!)

The Ultimate Chance- A Danny Phantom fic that officially is a bad luck token for my writing. Every time I'm halfway through the newest chapter, someone has nerve to restore my computer over and over again, thereby deleting said chapter. I'm at my wit's end and am very pissed at the luck I'm having with this! It is number three on my list to update, behind IIDA and JGtBtPB.

The Explanation

To tell you the truth, I don't know the exact future of IIDA. Everytime I jump on it, I get distracted and it's been a year now. And I'm pretty sure my readers have move on, so we'll see. Another excuse was the fact that so far, other than the Digimon drabbles, all my fics had outlines I could go by to keep me on track to the finish line. For some reason IIDA does not have one and I blame it on my inexperience at the time when I jumped on a Lasting Impressions sequel. LI didn't have a plotline either, surprisingly, but it was the only fic I was working on and I had a growing reader fanbase to inspire me at the time. I think the only outline I did for that story was the climax, which was so jumbled up in my head, I had to organize it on paper.

New Stories:

Seto/Jou stories

Digital Inspiration- Seto Kaiba immerses himself into technology so much, he's left the reality of companionship behind. Now submerged in the battle with other companies for the best breakthrough in Cyber-technology, his creation is born into the form of his former rival, Katsuya Jounouchi, who died mysteriously a few years ago. Their bond forming more and more, Seto must now make the decision of selling his creation to the world, or press further into the tragic past of Katsuya's death and discover a conspiracy in the making. AU, character death, crime. Romance/Angst, Rated M to be safe. (Work In Progress) (Update: At hiatus until further notice)
