~~UPDATES~~:
6/26/08: Chapter 16 is posted, still regrettably without beta. Her computer broke, so I'm not hassling her; it's possible there will be revisions made and a reposting done if she does get back to me with advice.
Chapter 4 of the rewrite is progressing nicely enough. I'm not sure exactly how it's going to work, but I think it'll end up being an amalgamation of the original Chapters 2 and 3. Wish me luck.
~~ABOUT ME~~:
I'm female, 22 years old, and currently very tired (a perpetual state of affairs for me). I started writing fics about nine years ago. I'm a liberal arts student studying to be an editor; I plan to seriously pursue writing in the future and possibly make an indirect career of it, via the aforementioned editor position. Much of what I have posted here is very old, and some of it shames me, but I try to remove things if I think they're truly awful eyesores. I've been guilty of gratuitous angst, a single (but still shameful) Mary Sue, and slapstick for slapstick's sake, but I like to think I've been getting better. Angst, humor and poetry are my forte, and any other genre I've managed to write adequately is strictly accidental.
Primary fandom: Yu Yu Hakusho
Secondary fandoms: Gundam Wing, Fullmetal Alchemist
Tertiary fandoms: Pokemon, Slayers, Harry Potter, Digimon, Star Trek TOS, Wolf's Rain
I am highly irked by unexplained OOCness in any form, and have been known to stop reading a story the moment I encounter it. You've been warned. That said, I'm a HUGE believer in developing characters rather than keeping them static. That's how I get away with the pairings I do. (eyedart) And speaking of . . .
I WRITE AND READ SHONEN-AI & YAOI. I also hit shoujo-ai and yuri once in a while when the mood strikes. My two wonderfully contradicting yet simultaneous OTPs for Yu Yu Hakusho are Hiei/Kurama/Hiei and Yuusuke/Kurama/Yuusuke, although I'm certainly not above trying my hand at other pairings (especially for YYH, there's so much intricacy there). Hiei/Yuusuke/Hiei is one that pulls on my brain occasionally, and given that, it's hard not to fall into Hiei/Kurama/Yuusuke/Kurama/Hiei as well, especially after Blossomwitch did it so well in 'Balm of Gilead'.
Other OTPs include: Lina/Amelia/Lina and Xelloss/Filia/Xelloss (Slayers), Russel/Edward/Russel and Roy/Havoc/Roy (Fullmetal Alchemist), Duo/Quatre/Duo and Wufei/Heero/Wufei (Gundam Wing), Taichi/Yamato/Taichi and Sora/Mimi/Sora (Digimon), Jessie/James/Jessie and Gary/Misty/Gary (Pokemon), Harry/Draco/Harry and Ginny/Hermione/Ginny (Harry Potter), Kiba/Hige/Kiba and Hige/Toboe/Hige (Wolf's Rain). Why I have two for each series, I am not sure. o.o
Please don't hesitate to message or e-mail me if you have questions as to my current projects, future projects, or anything else. I'm usually fairly approachable if you don't, y'know, flame.
~~REQUIRED READING~~:
I've got a lot of stories to recommend, but I'll summarize by listing authors I believe to be much more excellent than I. Read their works, before you bother reading mine.
Blossomwitch, Arigatomina, JoIsBishMyoga, Kooriya Yui, Rose Thorne, Hikari Nanase, CleverYoungThief, Madhumalati, Yami no Kokoro
Current favorite fic: 'How Far to Trust' by Blossomwitch
NOTE: I consider Blossomwitch to be the all-time best purveyor of heretofore unknown YYH canon. I have officially adopted certain of her fanfics as canon, and will reference them as such. This list is as follows: for in-series canon, the fics 'Define Mercy', 'Precision', 'Arrogance', 'How Far to Trust', and 'Downfall'; for post-series canon, the fic 'To Hold You High'. This list may be expanded as she gifts us with more happy gems of insight into what Togashi-sama did not have the opportunity to include.
~~CURRENT WORKS~~:
Fics being worked on right now are:
'Changing Death' (YYH): Chapter 16 posted 6/26/08. Next update projected at 10/1/08.
'Changing Death (Rewrite)' (YYH): In-progress rewrite of 'Changing Death'. Chapter 3 posted 6/12/08. Next update projected at c. 8/1/08.
