No updates... but I did post a Naruto one-shot.

NEWS

June 19, 2009.
Changed my pen name from Crystalline Twine to Dancing Dusk. Why? I was really tired of my old one. Nothing special about the new name, no story behind it. Just decided I wanted a new P.N. and thought "well what should I change it to? Hm... I like dusk. Not as common as dawn... (random thought: I feel like dancing...) oh, I could use dancing. Dancing Dusk. That works. Last one rhymed, this one can be alliteration."

Sango/Inuyasha - Inuyasha
Kagura/Miroku - Inuyasha
Megumi/Sanoske - Rurouni Kenshin
Kaoru/Kenshin - Rurouni Kenshin

Naruto/Anybody - Naruto

Least Favorite Fanfic Pairings
Any pairing that keeps Kagome & Sesshoumaru apart.

Kikyou/Inuyasha- Inuyasha (I find most portray the pairing in a similar, annoying way. Other than that, I just don't. I have no idea why I always have Inu/Kik pairings in my stories.)

Any pairing that keeps Kaoru & Kenshin from being together.

Things That Annoy Me/Are Overused in Naruto fics
1) Naruto was beat everyday, all the time.
2) Naruto is tired of being dumb, so he's suddenly smart. No character building.
3) Sasuke/Sakura bashing. I don't really care for them, but it's pointless.
4) Godlike Naruto/Dark Naruto. Once again, no character building.
5) Harem fics. I know Naruto is awesome, and he's a stamina-freak, but you guys are kidding yourselves. He's not giving 6 women multiple orgasms.
6) Fics with lots of "advice/wisdom/life lessons/explanations" with no real plot or point to them.
7) Sasuke is a god-among-men, Naruto is less than scum.
8) Hiasha abuses Hinata. Sure, he's not ideal, but he has a heart... it's just two sizes too small.
9) Naruto is actually a genius, he's just wearing a mask. (Overused and underdeveloped.)
10) FemNaru, FemIta, or any story where a guy is made into a women so the story is "not yaoi". You want a het pairing? Then use a het pairing. You can delude yourself, but your not deluding the rest of us.
11) Itachi is evil sadistic bastard/Itachi is a saint.
12) Naruto is raped and falls in love with the rapist. (DO I really have to explain this?! There is nothing romantic about rape. Anyone who is raped does not take pleasure in it.)

TO DO LIST:
1) Finish BMTL.
2) Fight crime.
3) Establish world peace.
4) Wash the cat.

Naruto

Unwanted
Naruto will soon be starting the ninja academy... he's in the market for some new threads. (A different take on the how and why behind Naruto's orange jumpsuit.)
Status : Complete - No pairings.

Inuyasha

Bring Me to Life
Kagome has finally stopped loving Inuyasha because he could never stop loving Kikyou. Her life is moving smoothly and quietly until one day when Sesshoumaru turns up and needs her help. After a brief and flirty stay with Sesshoumaru, Kagome finds herself sick and her powers out of control. As it turns out, Kagome's father is alive and in the Fuedal Era. Kagome finds herselfhaving a feeling of unease and forboding . Is some new evil brewing beyond the visage of their quiet reprieve? Or has some evil long since forgotten returned anew? In a world of magic, youkai, and evil, nothing is what it seems! -- Rated for mild language, sexual refrences, and lemon content (warnings will be given).
Status : In Progress (Nearing completion) - Pairings : Kag/Sess, Mir/San

Last Kiss
One-shot songfic. Inspired and based on "Last Kiss" sang by Pearl Jam. -- It's the night of their senior prom, only a week from graduation. They're on their way to the dance when a drunk driver crashes into the ferrari Sesshoumaru is driving. -- Rated for safety. No lemony content or bad language, but vague sexual refrences. WARNING : Character Death.
Status : Complete - Pairings : Kag/Sess

To Be Immortal
Few people know that elves still exist, let alone ever met one. Eloquent, elusive, graceful, and reserved... these are the key defining features of any elf. This is not the case for Kagome, who is the Elf Queen's ambassador and messenger. Sent on random quests and missions, it is her duty to complete them to the best of her ability. During her many missions, Kagome runs into Lord Sesshoumaru, a powerful taiyoukai known for his prowess in battle, but not for his kindness. Lead by a curious whim, Lord Sesshoumaru travels with her and finds an interesting truth about himself and his father. On this whirlwind of duties and decisions everyone learns exactly what it means to be immortal.
Status : In Progress- Pairings : Kag/Sess, Mir/San, Inu/Kik (sort of)

Turmoil of Torn Souls
As the final battle approaches, emotions hit their peaks, final decision are made, and the point of return is lost forever. For Kagome, things will never be the same.
Status : In Progress

Stupid Boy
Not all fairytale romances have happy endings... some go awry. Rated M for violence and questionable situations. WARNING : Character Death.
Status : Complete - Pairings: Inu/Kik
