Chapter three for These Platonic Symphonies We Breathe is up. Sorry it took me so long to do so, but there it is! The next chapter will be about naming the child and such. Chapter 5 will hopefully be the first week that the baby is in the Kaiba household! (:

I will probably start another SetoxAnzu story soon. But I want to get this one moving along before I start something else.

Free for All Idea Center
For fanfiction: Day by Day

-please read the fanfiction first before trying to apply for this, so you know what's what. Thanks.-

Well, just as I said in the fist chapter of my newly developed story; this story features something I like to call the 'Free for All Idea'. Here's how it works:

1. If you have an idea for this series (a miniseries about what goes on when the master isn’t away, the star being Sebastian since, in a way, he rules the mansion when it comes to cleaning and whatnot.) please send either a review with a basic summary, or a more lengthy PM. -if you plan on writing more please send me a PM and only write a review about the actual chapter, it just makes the reviews not so congested-

2. If you do not have a Fanfiction.net account, please just send a review my way. I’ll be sure to read it. I may not reply quickly but I do read your comments when they are first sent to me.

3. Keep in mind I don’t do Yaoi or Yuri pairings. Therefore there will be no romance including SebastianxCiel. I do not find that kind of relationship attractive, nor any Yaoi or Yuri pairings. Please do not mention it in your PM or review. It will be ignored.

4. Please keep your ideas on the small side, or give little scenarios on which I can feed off of. I am the one who is going to be writing this, so don’t write out the whole chapter yourself, because sadly it will not be added. Just give a few paragraphs (or however big a space you need) to get your point across.

5. No idea is stupid, or pointless. You may have your idea added; it just may not be the next chapter. Please understand if it is not added. I do not add ideas only because they do not seem to fit in with the plot, or just don't follow what I have in mind.

6. Please try and keep your ideas flowing with the plot of the story, or in time with the last chapter, so it flows a bit more. If it doesn’t that’s fine; I’ll find a way to make it flow.

7. Something I forgot to mention after # 1. You can make the main focus of the chapter about anyone who works or is part of the Phantomhive family. For example; my chapter first chapter on Day by Day focused on Sebastian and his normal morning routine. You could throw an idea out there that has the normal morning for Ciel, with a twist or something. If you give me the main person to focus on, it helps with the flow of the story, and chapter.

8. Please also understand that you must ask to sign up for this because it will be easier for me to keep you in the loop, as well as keep track of who said what, for what chapter. All you have to do is say ‘I would like to become a part of the Free for All Idea. My username is, _ , and I am willing to take some time to give you ideas for you Fanfiction, Day by Day.’ And that’s it! I will add your name to list below. If your name does not appear within a few days, please contact me again telling me. I may have forgotten, or accidentally skipped over it. Thank you for taking the time to read this.

9. Use proper English and grammar. No LOL's or IDK's or anything of that nature. No computer talk, period. The only exception are emoticons that can stress your emotion at that time, right there. But keep those to a minimum as well. It just causes distraction, and is hard for me, and others to understand. We have dictionary's for a reason. If you mis-spell a word on accident, don't worry about it; I do it all the time. But please try to check, and re-check your work so your sentences don't run on, and are clear for me to understand.

10. If you fail to follow any of these rules, you will be ignored. Plain and simple. Do not comment with rude, or un-helpful remarks. If you don't have a big huge idea; give it anyways! Those are probably better anyways, because they give my creative side more leeway to create and think.

11. If you are struggling on how to write your idea for me; I have made a pre-made sheet for you to use. If I do not recognize your username, I will ask you to sign up first before I accept and look over your idea. I will fill in the blanks below so you understand completely what I mean by the question. If you don't know, or didn't think of it, just leave it blank. You may delete what I have written once you copy it to where you need it to go. :3

Free for All Idea - Pre-made Worksheet:

Username: for example; mistress-of-the-fading-moon. If you are not an account owner here, please leave an e-mail adress as well, so I can contact you regardless.

Chapter to Focus on: for example Sebastian or a co-op with Sebastian and Maylene, or Maylene and Finny. The co-op means you can make the focus be on two or more characters. No romance though.

Basic Idea or Summary of My Idea: just enter your basic ideas for the chapter here.

More detailed Ideas: You may write more specific things you were thinking about, but please understand they may or may not be added.

Other: if I didn't cover anything up above, please add it here.

Made Up FAQ's:

- just some random questions I figure some of you may be curious about; mainly about my anime/manga fetish -

Dub or Sub?

Ohh...this question that plagues many a minds who are an anime lover (or just someone who loves foreign movies and shows.) I am an American as such my first language is English, while I'll admit we may not be as seasoned as the Japanese, Koren, or Asians in general; I find dub to be refreshing considering it's my language and I can understand what they're saying (I mean, who wants to read words all the time when you can see it in all its action glory?!)

And I actually feel we Americans have a much more broad voice range compared to the Japanese. Why? Well we have tons of people from different backgrounds, some having a more tang to their words, while others a more lightened sophisticated air. While for Japanese all I hear are, either super low Japanese voices, or high squeaky female voices. With a few in-between. I'm not saying subbed is bad and not a good option (especially if your favorite anime isn't going to ever come to America, or where ever; as I sometimes, for example Kuroshitsuji, watched it in subbed because it hasn't come to America as of yet, and I enjoyed it enough, though I hope it becomes English dubbed as I want to hear what voices they thought best represented the characters; and Square Enix is one of my favorite companies, lol...) but don't always always assume that it being in its native language is always better than other languages. XD American Dubbing has just as much talent as Japanese; so for the love of God, don't dis us Americans! (especially if you are American...- rolls eyes -)

Robots or Chibi's?

LOL~ Definitely Robotic Chibi's. But seriously, Robots. Chibis are cute and all but nothing beats the gut busting, metal bending, bone crushing robots!! CX They are love. And that is all.

Strong Anime Girls or Innocent Anime Girls?

I am a woman but sometimes I judge an anime by the women in the story (especially if male testosterone is the focus.) I mean, women exist too! And just creating strong independent men doesn't quite give a well-rounded perspective. While I'm not a woman's right activist fanatic, I do believe all are entitled to become successful, as hard-working citizens. Women should not become slaves under man's rule, and women shouldn't get a swelled head just because they may be better than a man at something (or think all men just want women to be inferior beings.)

So I like, preferably, the woman who can stand her ground, but know when to back down, or when relying on one's self is not always the best answer. I want a story that's realistic and that in some cases, I can relate to. So I say neither, but in-between. You can be an independent person and still have the innocence of a child. It's all just how you raise yourself (or were raised), and the perspective you choose to take on things.

What is a 'writing style' to you?

Hmm...a writing style; to me, would have to be the way the author highlights things and they way the pull things into the shadows. For example; I am big on using metaphors, and very, almost, emotional words. I have a well-rounded vocabulary, and like to use it. I want to make sure the people I'm writing too feel not just read the emotions the person is experiencing. I want them to say, I may not feel like that personally but I easily understood the meaning behind it. I want people to be pulled into tears when a piece is filled with sorrow. I want them laughing and smiling when a piece is filled with compassion and love, and just jubilee!

Writing is easy, it's the soul of the piece that is hard to do. A writing style shouldn't be one that you may not personally like, but others enjoy a lot. Writing is a way to express thoughts, feelings, and emotions on paper. So, BE YOURSELF! If you tend to be a very detailed person, throw more detail in there because that's you. Be consistent, and people will love you for it.

Every style is worth considering, and every style is unique. We all my have a similar style, but since no person is exactly the same, your work will never be exactly the same. Consider this a good thing! You've already got your own writing style, haha! Don't get down in the dumps when someone doesn't like your work; it's bound to happen, and will happen. But trudge on and keep looking forward; you'll come to find your writing style and your own sound eventually! Good luck in your pursuits my fellow writers!! C:

You seem to like pairing characters off with people who they probably wouldn't, in reality, be paired with; explain?

Ah, yes, I do tend to sway towards the out of norm don't I? XD But that's just me. And considering I will not consider some pairings it leaves me with little to choose from, and I have my indulgences as much as the next person! I love pairings that have an outlandish pairing but make it work! It's all about how you perceive things. I don't consider me liking, RufusxTifa a wrong pairing considering Rufus probably only came in contact with Tifa once or twice. I like Rufus (sometimes), and I like Tifa; I find the pairing to be an interesting one, and when written right, can make for a satisfying one. Sometimes, I don't like characters (imagine that) so I never want to seem them paired off with a character I do like, but that person is entitled to their own opinion about that pairing (the one I don't like paired up with the one I do like).

I find the best stories are the ones that don't use a normal, or maybe factual pairing! Everyone knows those two like each other, or will get married for sure. But it's the ones you think they'd never want to be in contact with that make you wonder, "Hmm...I wonder if we paired them together; what would happen?" And I find myself not normally liking original pairings (such as LelouchxCC; since one I don't like CC and two, I find her a brat, and annoying...but that's just me...>_>) so it's only "normal" I'd like a pairing that was "abnormal".

Your thoughts on Mary Sues?

Not a very favorable one. But not a completely negative one either. I mean, if it's more realistic than others (as Mary Sues in general...aren't realistic) and is well written; then sure I'd read it! But most of the time I dislike Mary Sues, as it is just a way for the author herself to be "transported" into a world she was never born into. While it's funny to imagine yourself in an anime/manga world, it's not something I dwell on often (as I much like reality more than fantasy.)

Mary Sues tend to be immature, un-realistic, and really weird (in the creepy sense). So, I tend to avoid them. I'm not going to read a Mary Sue and deliberately flame, or dis it! That's just rude, as everyone is entitled to his or her own opinion about such things. I just choose to ignore them. Simple as that.

Your thoughts on stories where the fandom character gets paired off with your/someone elses OC?

No. Not in any century will I read a story like this. I don't like people adding characters just to have them fall in love with a character. While it's okay to add OC's (be a major roll or a minor role) in a story as support characters, I don't want them to be the main focal point of a story. It drives me nuts! I'm sorry, but I cannot, ever, understand why someone would write something like this, or why some people find it enjoyable, but I'm not going to be rude and post nasty comments on their stuff. Once again, I'll just avoid it.

Aren't Mary Sues and OCxFandom Pairing the Same; why do you treat them as separate?

Because they are. While they have similarities (such as their being characters not originally in the story, and the other in turn, falling in love with one another) there are differences that set the two apart. For example; a Mary Sue is basically YOU being transported from YOUR time and YOUR reality to theirs. It's basically a YOU fic...

While the other one is a character you have created IN the story, so they're not actually transported TO the world since they were "technically" in the world already. But the basis is the same; someone not part of the ORIGINAL cast of the story is paired off with some yahoo from your mind, or you personally.

So while I don't like either really, I don't want you guys mixing them together and labeling them with the words, "SAME and LAME" or just "SAME".

It's disrespectful to the ones who actually like those stories, or who write them.

My Stories:

'Day by Day' - is really only updated when I get the chance or find the time to actually work my thoughts through. While I normally don't plot out my stories too far ahead (since I'm bad at it anyways) I'll try my best to update it soon.

'These Platonic Symphonies We Breathe' - is the story I'm most pleased with at this moment (and most willing to update.) It is now dubbed a 'multi-chapter' story; and I will update when I can. Chapter 3 is now up!

'Weaving Fairytales' - is on hiatus due to trying to research and become better acquainted with other stories I'm working on. While this story will probably be updated long before my other FF7 story is updated, it may be a few weeks to a few months.

'When Bonds Are Formed' - is on a LONG hiatus. I have fell out with this story and as such, it has lost its pleasure with me. I hope to rekindle my love for it after some time. I need time to work on a believable story and to really plot out my chapters for this one. But hopefully it won't be too long before it is updated again; but do not trust to hope.

'Loveless Hearts' - is one of my most beloved and I feel most well-written stories to date. I think I truly hit home with his character, and got into his mind set more than I think some people really do with Genesis. This one-shot has really been a favorite in my books. I hope you think the same!
