All right. You guys wanna know about me, huh? Okay...; I guess that makes this questionnaire time...here goes nothing.

First - I'm one of those people that you love or you hate; sometimes both >;P

Second - I'm the mother of a rambunctious little boy(he gets into everything!! o.o; ), I'm twenty, and I'm a full-time college student. I also work nights as a cashier.

Third - I absolutely love the Naruto anime/manga and as a result, I have Promises to Keep, a Naruto fanfic that was formerly L&L and KMB. I also have one FFVII fic, Fallen Angels & Lost SOLDIERs. Sometimes I can't work on certain fics or other things b/c my mind is trying to veer off into a specific fan-fic's land, lol. Odd how the human mind works, ne? Oh, well. Can't say I'm not enjoying the writing of my fics. It's always interesting where my little plot vixen will run with a simple idea and how my plot wolf tackles her saying "No, it should go this way!!" Oh yes, I have voices screaming and biting and clawing around in my head. I'm obviously certifiable. (grins foolishly) Well, go check out my work.

Fourth - I'm not sure how many stories I'll do, or about what exactly for that matter, but I'll try to update them as soon as I can and keep up with requests/deadlines. Enjoy!

Fifth - All of my stories can also be found on Deviantart.com under the name of shinranightrain, so if you'd prefer to read them there, follow the link(take out the spaces in your browser)-->http://shinranightrain. deviantart. com/ I also now have a FictionPress account under the name of Storm Wolfe(my actual pen name) and it can be found by folowing this link(remove spaces in your browser)-->http://www. fictionpress. com/~stormwolfe

Final note: I love lots of different animes/mangas and I cannot think of them all to list them here. I may or may not do a fic for any one of these at any given time as it strikes my fancy.

06/10/09: Some of you will probably be pleased to hear that I am working on a KH/KHII & FALS cross-over fanfiction that will be an as of yet undetermined number of chapters. It will contain a host of faves from KH/KHII, including but not limited to Sora, Donald, Goofy, Riku, Kairi, Roxas, Namine, Axel, and Leon, as well as everyone's favorites from my FFVII fanfiction FALS. I hope you guys can accept this new fic as a form of pacification for me not updating anything in a few months...I am going to try to update FALS within the month, but P2K is on temporary hiatus until a few more chapters of the manga have been released for plot purposes(I may be doing an AU, but tying in a bit of the actual plot can't hurt). BRHT will be the next on my update list after the new KH/KHII & FALS and the original FALS have been posted/updated. I hope you guys enjoy the coming updates!

05/12-09: As promised, the link(just take out the spaces between the dots and it should work): http://shinranightrain. deviantart. com/art/Novaris-Prologue-122356778

05/07/09: Well...I must say that, first off, I apologize to anybody and everybody who's waiting for updates on FALS, BRHT, or P2K: I have been sidetracked by something more important and just as time-consuming... That something is none other than my novel; I had started tentatively writing it nearly six years ago, back in eighth grade, and it got shelved in favor of my son and college studies. Alas, now I have been given new reason to pick it up again, dust it off, make revisions, and bring it back to life: my fiance insists upon reading a published, hard cover copy of it before the wedding which we have planned for August 2010 :D However, this DOES NOT mean that I will stop writing FALS, BRHT, or P2K, only that there will be delays and prolonged periods of time between updates. I hope you guys can forgive me for denying you your updates. As compensation that will be exclusive to DA readers(I'll be providing a link to this 'compensation' on FF.net for those of you who check both), I will be posting excerpts from my as of yet incomplete novel that will hopefully become a trilogy as I had originally intended for it to be. The first of these will be in the form of the Prologue to my novel and will simply be titled "Novaris: Prologue". I hope you guys like it and perhaps you guys can give me some feedback on it: I'm still a little dissatisfied with the Prologue... Anyways, enjoy and if you're interested then keep an eye out for "Novaris: Prologue"! I adore you guys and I love comments even more!!

1/30/09 BRHT EDIT: I have decided to go back and do revisions of Beautiful Roses Have Thorns, and in some cases I will be removing chapters completely if I deem it necessary. I intend to flesh out the early relationship of Sesshoumaru, his parents, and Katsumi as a whole and individually. Hopefully this will make the story better rather than worse, but I can only hope and do what my brain dictates. THE WHOLE STORY SO FAR WILL REMAIN UP, BUT IT IS NOT THE COMPLETED REVISION: I AM REVISING ONE CHAPTER AT A TIME AND UPDATING ONLY ONE CHAPTER AT A TIME, SO THE REVISED CHAPTER UP SO FAR ARE THE PROLOGUE AND THE FIRST CHAPTER. EVERYTHING ELSE IS THE OLD, ORIGINAL SHIT THAT I AM REVISING. THANK YOU! I hope you guys will like the changes and new additions I make, but as always I'm asking for feedback from you guys, my friends and my readers.

Story:

1) Promises to Keep(P2K): Naruto - this starts five years before the Kyuubi attacked and will follow my two OCs along their lives. Witness the interactions and relationships they have with some of your favorite Naruto characters during their childhoods and throughout their lives. Pairings(implied or actual) will include: TsuJira, MinaKush, ItaOC, SasoDei, KakuHidan, KakaIru, OCxOC's, ShikaTem, AsuKure; Undecided Sasu? and undecided Naru?. Chapters 10 plus: Tsunade inherits two of Konoha's finest ninja secrets when they arrive unexpectedly: one is known as Konoha's Golden Flashfire and has been in Kumogakure since Naruto graduated from the Academy, but the other is listed as an S-rank criminal and has a huge bounty on his head, within the village and out of it. They are Kurai Rokue, formerly Takeshi Uchiha, and Amaya Namikaze; both are well above the Jounin level, but neither of them admit to the fact that they are Jinchuuriki. He is the Uchiha Clan's biggest secret, their greatest lie - he is Itachi's elder fraternal twin, separated at birth and given first to Orochimaru and then to Root; she is the daughter of Minato Namikaze, the Fourth Hokage, and Kushina Uzumaki, but she has no memory of her parents or her baby brother Naruto. Traumatized by the deaths of her parents, she has dissociative amnesia and has been raised by the Moritaka family, Kushina's only relatives, while watching how the village treated Naruto, but remained unaware of the true reason for her fury and disgust at his abuse until well after the death of the Third. When Itachi massacres his clan, both of them are thrown into an unexpected partnership: Amaya wishes to save Itachi from himself, while Kurai wishes to save Amaya and his brothers. He joins Akatsuki at first on orders, but remains to protect Sasuke from a far greater danger than Itachi... But when Itachi dies and Kurai comes back to Konoha, what will happen when he is made an ANBU Elite? Will Amaya stand by him and give his life purpose, or will she deny him in favor of Itachi's memory? How will Sasuke and Naruto react when they learn the truth about their families? More importantly, will Kurai kill Danzo and the Council Elders, as he has sworn to do since Itachi was roped into being a double-agent, spying on his own family from within ANBU...? Rated M FOR VIOLOENCE, LANGUAGE, BLOOD/GORE, CHARACTER DEATH, IMPLIED and/or SHOWN RAPE/PEDOPHILIA, AND OUTRIGHT SMUT.

2) Fallen Angels & Lost SOLDIERs(FALS): FFVII - set a year after DoC; OCxReno, ZackxAerith, CloudxTifa, & others. R&R plz! Chapters 8 plus: Suppose that a former Turk was once a SOLDIER, and that she has now been found after being listed as 'MIA - Presumed Dead' for nearly eight years...only to have to face the very people who'd caused her the most pain? She is Sayuri Crescent and she is not someone to trifle with, a fact that Reno learned, and must now re-learn the hard way. Things continue to become more entangled when familiar faces from the past begin to resurface not as memories, but as they were before: Sephiroth, Genesis, and Angeal all held special places in Sayuri's life. Now, they, and others like them, are making unexpected reappearances in her life, and the lives of those who fought at the Northern Crater, against the Remnants, and Omega. Rated M for reasons that become obvious fairly quickly(Reno SMUT, violence, language, etc.). This story pretty much explains itself throughout the course of the chapters. Sorry if it is confusing at times, but I expect readers to have played one or more of the FFVII games or to have, at least, seen Advent Children.

3) Beautiful Roses Have Thorns(BRHT): Inuyasha - mild-obvious OOC and technically AU, this is set post-manga; it will feature(but is not limited to) InuKag, MiroSan, InuPapaSesshMom, InuPapaInuMom, and SesshyOC with a possibility of KohaRin pairings. Chapters 9 plus: When Kagome is suddenly abducted along with Rin, Inuyasha and crew with Sesshy are anxious to rescue them. However, after they locate Kagome and Rin, a new twist presents itself in the form of Katsumi. She is a young woman who is 3/4 daiyoukai and 1/4 human miko. Sesshy is hell-bent on getting Katsumi and Rin back from this new enemy safely, regardless of his or Inu & the crews' safety. What could make Sesshy act so un-Sesshy like? And how will the gang fare when new situations, both good and bad, continue to present themselves with unbelievable force? Read to find out and don't forget to comment!! Rated M FOR VIOLENCE, SMUT, LANGUAGE, ETC.

4) P2K Accompaniments: Naruto - various one-shots for Naruto that may or may not hold any relevance to P2K depending on my mood; also character profiles for my OCs and other such things that do pertain to P2K. Chapters 1(soon to be 2 or more) Pairings and content of the materials will be subject to the author's personal whims and fancy, as well as that of any requests or comissions: just because you see a pairing or particular topic does not mean it is the belief of the author. This applies to all literature, fanfiction or otherwise, so don't get pissy if you see something that you think is 'wrong', 'stupid', or other words I don't feel like typing. Rated M because I know myself too well; this will likely contain violence, profane language, random fluff, smut, shonen-ai, shojou-ai, yaoi, yuri, etc. as the fancy takes me. If you do not like any of these things, then just don't read. However, I will insert the appropriate warnings within the text itself where I deem it necessary, so that readers can skip certain parts if desired.

5) REMOVED & REPLACED WITH P2K - Love & Loneliness(L&L): Complete - Naruto - Prequel to Konoha's Missing Bloodlines: Enter one Takeshi Uchiha, who later calls himself Kurai. Discover how one little boy deals with his family's disapproval of his biggest secret. This secret is one of his greatest strengths but it is also a great weakness. Also, who is the adorable and irrepressible girl who tags after him with her fire-gold hair always giving away who's daughter she is? None other than a very young Amaya Namikaze, following her "'Keshi" and "'Tachi"! L&L tells about Amaya and Kurai's childhoods as well as their journeys after the Kyuubi attack. Follow them from birth right through Akatsuki and the Chûnin exams. What kind of people are they really? And what really happened between the duo and Orochimaru? Rated M for smut, mentioned rape/pedophilia, and violence.

6)REMOVED & REPLACED WITH P2K - Konoha's Missing Bloodlines(KMB): A Naruto Fan Fiction - What if two ninja equal to the three Sannin in power were to arrive in Konoha...by Tsunade's request? They are Amaya Namikaze, daughter of the 4th Hokage and Kushina Uzumaki, and Kurai Uchiha, Itachi's twin, separated at birth... When Kurai vanishes and Akatsuki moves to claim the remaining Bijuu and Jinchuuriki, how will our favorite ninja village respond now that they have Amaya AND Itachi back on their side? Prequel, Love & Loneliness, is now up. Pairings: KakaIru, OCxOC, ShikaTem, JiraiTsu, possible NaruHina OR SasuNaru OR Sasu/NaruSaku(haven't decided ;P), MinaKush, KureAsuma, and others that have yet to be determined! There will be implied ItaxOC and yaoi as well. If I can get up the courage, I may even write an idea that has been in my head for quite some time concerning yaoi. Rated M FOR VIOLOENCE, LANGUAGE, BLOOD/GORE, CHARACTER DEATH, AND SMUT.
