I'm SO sorry, you guys. It's been a long time since I've really worked on anything, and I haven't had much inspiration anyway. The notebook that the rest of Everything I Wanted is in has gone missing, and Free of Duty has been on hold since I've been going through a rough patch.

That said, recently I started playing around with an idea for a new A:TLA story with a twist it seems no one has ever considered. I've got a few chapters written, so I'm going to type those up and put the story up! I definitely want to hear what you all have to say about this idea and where you think it'll go.

Again, I'm SO sorry for the extended hiatus over the summer, but hopefully from now on I'll be a lot better at writing and keeping my stories updated for you!

Love always, Artemis.

I just found my notebook for this, and I'm bustin' my butt trying to type the twelve or so chapters I have of this, the few chapters of Free of Duty I have, and possibly getting a move-on on my sequel to Choice and Decisions.

Ideas in Development:

AKA, Things I Want To Do But Have Absolutely No Time For, So For Now They're In Planning

(A:TLA) Something with Zutara. Obviously. I haven't quite decided yet, but I think I want to do a series of oneshots based on scenes in the show, and expand upon them. But of course, this would require access to the episodes whenever I wanted them, and I'm currently too poor to afford the Avatar series.

(A:TLA) Something Tokka. This is even less thought about than my series-of-Zutara-oneshots idea. I just know I love Tokka and I want to work with it... eventually...

(Castle) MAN, I'd love to have more time in my day! I really want to write a good mystery with Castle and Beckett... maybe I can do this while pretending to take notes in my college classes? Haha. They're writing classes, I'm going into journalism, this shouldn't be too hard to get away with.

(Supernatural) I have some fun ideas for this one. But alas, I have no time...

(Pendragon) Oh. My. God. This series is my favorite. I'd love to do something... I don't know, maybe a side story on character relationships beyond where the books go. Bobby and Saint Dane and their lives with each other/before each other... and of course, romantic pairings. Bobby and Loor, Mark and Courtney... Kasha and what's his name? I don't know, I'd have to reread the series. I'd also love to do something focusing on Saint Dane. He's such a fun bad guy.

(Harry Potter) Harry Potter is always fun to write. But still, no time... this will have to be a side project.

PM me if there's something you want to see me write! Just let me know the fandom, pairing(s) (if any), any specific plot/conflict/points I should hit/etc. I'll see what I can do. If it's a fandom I don't know, I might have some trouble, but I'm pretty good with most things. Pretty much anything Disney is easy, SyFy is cool, good on the CW shows too. I know most books right now, so things like Artemis Fowl (which I just caught up on), Pendragon, Harry Potter, and various others are cool. Whatever you do, however, do NOT (notnotnotnotNEVER) ask me to write anything about TWILIGHT. I've had just about enough of vampires for the rest of my life. the House of Night series by P.C. Cast is the exception to my hate of vampires.
