June 2009: at long last, a story update. Next in line this month are more fanarts and some goodies (yay, fanart calendar :D ), I'll post the files on my LJ and put a notice here for the people interested.

10-10-08: Plotbunnies are still biting, but must be kept on diet for the time being (although some racy fanart bunnies of the SenshixShitennou kind managed to loosen their reins and to gloriously- and smexily - gallop in the interweb XD. woooo! ).

09-10-07: new one-shot, and my first (basically)full-cast one at that. Shitennou goodness, a bit of parody, some fluff, one of my favourite Senshi in the spotlight, even three characters from the 2nd and 4th seasons :D.

04-28-07: Muse is active, but I've had little to no time to properly answer her calls recently (RL and uni, eh). Plus, Kara, my beta, is really busy now. Anyway, all the unbeta-ed, unfinished writings are posted on my LJ first, if you're going into withdrawal ( my prose being oh-so-wonderful and addictive seems, frankly, highly unlikely to me, but just in case :P XD ) you can sneak a peek at http://elianthos.livejournal.com/

Bio: Grown-up italian girl (born in Venice -yay!- but not living there - Life can be unfair...-) fond of reading and drawing. Art/Literature student.

Main hobbies (this is the short version. If you feel like sipping the whole cup, look at the bottom of this page): as I said before, drawing (click on the homepage link above, please :) . Oh, well, you get an appetizer by looking at the little square avatar above in this page too ;p ) and reading (mainly XIX century novels, poetry and Latin/Greek literature), and listening to prog/hard rock of the 70's, Celtic music, and some classic music

Introduced to the pleasure of good fanfiction reading at a relativaly late age (aka, about 10 years after the whole SM fandom was born. And the LotR one... eh, better not going there sweatdrops), but quickly catching up (aka the girl here is a reading freak ).

And, due to massive fanfiction reading, I've felt drawn to write something myself (writing in a foreign language is a challenge, but it's worth a try. If my results are worth reading... well, this is up to you :winks:). I've written only Sailor Moon fics so far, but I enjoy reading LotR (my adult side's preference:)), FMA, FMP, Escaflowne and KareKano fics too.

I'd like to write something about LotR someday (first I'd need to get older and wiser...), but I'm not familiar enough with the whole timeline and English placenames. Besides, there are already such amazing authors on the net that have a much better grasp on this huge fascinating subject, that anything I could ever write would pale in comparison.But you can have a look at my fav authors and stories lists if you wish :).

FICS STATUS:

1. By Daylight and Moonlight (SM) completed

2. Caramel Apple (First of a series of SM drabbles) posted. -- in progress. Don't let the title fool you. There's some angsty stuff, and possibly some lime in the fiture. Be ready ;P.

Written for the Usako_Mamoru community on LJ. Nice community, nice stories (better than mine, don't worry ), under the caring wings of Jojodacrow and Alicia Blade.

If you like Senshi/Generals pairings a good place to go is here:

3. -Untitled- (a SM story, set mostly in the Silver Millenium era. Probably 5 chapters): I have scribbled down the whole plotline, posted the Prologue and some tidbits on my LJ journal, and I have last chapter and the epilogue mostly fixed. The main thing is working out how to get there. It may take a while... -- in the backburner

4. You Shall Be My Knife. co-written with Nimbirosa aka Arashinobara of the ArashinobaraJikkankakyoku duo. -- SM One-shot. Completed.

5. Cocoa Connection. -- SM One-shot. Completed.

6. At the end of the day. -- SM one-shot. Stemmed from the theme 58 of the '100 themes' challenge. Sort of prequel to 'By daylight and moonlight' if you wish. Completed.

7. Minuet. -- SM one-shot. Finally, a SenshixShitennou, and a first attempt at my favourite pairing at that. Silver Millennium setting, a bit AU ( 'her' hairdo certainly is ;P ).

8. Jack-in-the-box: SM one-shot (a very crowded one, this ;) ). Completed.

FANART: lately I've started drawing Sailor Moon characters again (with an attempt at FMA), mostly as presents and/or as commissions for online friends and fanfic authors. I'm putting some links here for these fanart pics (just the ones with dedications. For the full gallery, and non-fanart art as well, the aforementioned homepage link is the place to click on ;) ):
