Don't use my avatar.

I made my avatar myself, it is not for public use and I don't appreciate others using it.

It surprises me that I need to tell you this, since I always thought that an avatar is very personal and nobody would want to have someone else's image, but since I discovered that mine is being used without even asking for permission then I think it is necessary for me to state this.

I added my name to the image so lazy ones who are just looking for something easy to copy/paste will be put off, I know that it can be easily deleted with photoshop but I hope that if you can go through the trouble of deleting it then you might as well decide to make an original one from scratch for yourself instead of stealing mine. I also know that this is not something to be jealous of and that I myself have stolen the image from the anime ending to make it but I thought about what avatar I wanted, I chose the image, the font, I worked on it, I made it... so please don't re-use it. Thank you.

And if you see someone using it please let me know.

Grr.

And don't make me angry otherwise my stories will be delayed. Because I can't write if I'm angry.

Roar.

I am now at my boyfriend's. I've forgotten my fanfics notebook, so all my notes and plans for the future chapters are at home. I will start writing the new Bitter Sweet Tooth chap anyway but since I want to wait to get home before posting it I've decided to publish a Kanda-Lavi story I've started writing some time ago. Kanda-Lavi is my favourite couple, don't know why my first three stories were all Kanda-Allen.

Anyway enjoy Cabin Fever/To Love Lavi's first chap. It's just a taste of what's going to happen.

17 May 2009 -

Have you heard about Hoshino's plagiarism accusation? You haven't? Well apparently that's why DGM is on hiatus. I've compared the images and hell, they're pretty much the same. I've got the link so ask if you are curious.

Hoshino said she will continue DGM anyway but that's no guarantee, is it?

25 April 2009 -

Holy shit! DGM is on fucking hiatus again!!

And after a gorgeous chapter all Kanda-centred!! Damn!

What do you think about the flower thing? That it is something only Kanda can see and that after nine years he doesn't see one but tons? A flood of lotuses?

Holy cow my Kanda is going crazy? That's why he's so stuck up and acid, I'd be too if my life was so... flowery!

Anyway, more fangirling:

Have you noticed how much Hoshino's drawing skills have improved since the beginning of DGM? Sexiness up 470!

Some info about me:

I'm Italian, I'm 25 years old and I'm an archaeologist. I love animals, and I firmly believe that they are better than human beings. I especially love cats and I own 2 female ones, Neko and Cassandra, a tortoise-shell and a polydactil maine coon. They sleep on me while I write my stories and they are able of making me smile even when I'm sad. I also own a water turtle, called Tarù, who has grown from 2cm to 25cm in 5 years! I love staying in bed when rain is pouring outside and chatting on my sofas with friends, holding warm earl grey tea, or some alcoholic drink. Aside from being an archaeologist I'll work hard to become a patissier. Fav hobbies swimming and photograhy.

- Writing is my means of communicating emotions. I cannot draw, nor paint, I cannot play any musical instrument and I'm too shy to sing in public, although I do have a pretty nice voice. For this reason I've always written stories in my life, focusing on the emotions that the characters feel, be them the taste of food, the awe in front of a work of art, the chill of humid wind. I want my readers to feel what the characters are feeling, because in this way they are able to live the story in a more vivid way, be hooked and lead to the ups of happiness, the downs of sorrow or the hotness of sex. I don't particularly care about describing the backgrounds, or clothes, or the visible details unless there is a reason for it.

- The reasons behind my writing style. When I was in high school I used to have surreal dreams (yes, while sleeping) and since I lack imagination, I started to write them down. As you know details are blurry in dreams, what you are experiencing is emotions and sensations, casual colours, fleeting images that move your spirit. I tried hard to write my dreams in a way that would allow the reader to exactly feel what I was feeling during the dream. I guess this intention has imprinted my writing style, and nowadays my stories are focused on making the reader live the story through the main character's eyes, forgetting the distance between reality and fiction. These intentions have caused me to be extremely careful in the choice of words and composition, punctuation and style. Finally, I believe that the "way" in which something is written can make even an ugly story enjoyable, instead a beautiful plot alone cannot make up for lousy writing, ignorant puntcuation or bad choice of words.

This is my first time writing fanfics. As of now I'm stuck with Yullen (and AreKanda) from D-Gray-man, although I can see some Kanda-Lavi in my near future. Well yeah... Kanda is a must in my lonesome nights.

- New Avatar: I've added an avatar, not the one I wanted really, but I've read the warning that no adult avatar is allowed, so no YAOI avatar... tch... still, this one with my beloved Kanda isn't half bad right? I made it with photoshop but of course, some disclaimer, I didn't make the image, it's a screenshot of the last ending of the anime. The sentence is mine, because I happen to think it at least 3 times every time I see Kanda... But I bet you agree with me :D

Fiction Projects: (all D. Gray Man)

Completed:

- Shattering Mistake. In which Kanda's selfesteem and belief in his own fighting skills is shattered, and in his attempt to seek help from Allen after having reached the bottom of the pit, he grows to depend on the boy's support, against all of his will. Yullen, very graphic sex, passion, angst, denial with cute and funny moments.

Ongoing:

- Bitter Sweet Tooth. In which Allen's skills as a patissier lead to a very passionate night between him and a drunken-uke!Kanda. Kanda's extremely violent reaction of the morning after cause him to be harshly punished by the Order. His terrible new life starts. AreKan, very graphic sex and violence, passionate feelings of Kanda eating Allen's dessert, shocking choice of punishment that will challenge Kanda's way of life.

- Cabin Fever/To Love Lavi. In which Kanda is injured and stranded to bed feeling useless while his friends fight Akumas and Lavi visits him night-time exploiting his weakened state to tease him without fearing his wrath. However, in that moon-lit cabin, in between funny moments, Lavi and Kanda's friendship starts to become complicated.

Future: (titles are temporary)

- Sequel to Shattering Mistake. In which Allen and Kanda's relationship is put to the test with a 3 months long mission. Is love strong enough for Kanda to now stand all of Allen's behaviour that used to piss him off? Is Allen ready to accept all of Kanda? (written the bullet point plot)

- The Cat Lover Boy. In which Kanda meets an extremely fisty boy who protects his cat and doesn't show any sign of fear of our swordsman. When a Noah appears in the vicinity Kanda is forced to take the boy to the Order. What will happen then? (written 1 chap - needs to decide whether to make the story semi AU and the boy be a non-exorcist-Allen, or make him an OC in DGM's universe)
