Thank you for coming to read!

You can read everything up to the most current one-shots and chapters of long fics on my LiveJournal. This includes stories that, for reasons of structure, length, or content are not allowed under FanFiction.net publishing guidelines. All material published on LiveJournal that does meet FanFiction.net guidelines for appropriate content is generally up here within 24 hours of initial publication.

If you have any interest in the music video translations I've done, they're on my LiveJournal as well.

If you'd rather read about my original fiction and NaNoWriMo exploits, or to see some of my literary criticism, I keep another blog under the name kagenjoujo. Sometime when my housing dramas have settled down, I hope to keep it up a bit more regularly. Do you do NaNoWriMo, too? Please friend me!

And that's all I've got to say about me. Surely you'd rather know about my fanfiction timelines?

It's my habit to keep details from one story as "history" for others. This doesn't mean you have to read them all, or that you have to read them in order. I also like to keep the individual stories readable as self-contained units. However, if you wanted to know the "order" of the timelines for each of my major fandoms, they're as follows:

PRINCE OF TENNIS: [Stories - 9, ongoing]

I call this timeline "Serious", but that's not so much a title as a way to separate it from the crack stories I've got simmering on my back burner. Comedy or drama or whatever, I've taken every effort to make this timeline fit 100% into my personal fusion of the manga and anime realities (no guarantees on Shin PoT events). You know, it's "my serious stuff". There are several background one-shots here, as well as 3 multi-chapter core fics (marked in bold). I'm planning on at least four more core fics, and two multi-chapter background fics, but one thing at a time. When you put the timeline in order, it looks something like this:

Middle School:

- "Himitsu" [Ooishi x Eiji]
* - "Blame the Falling Snow" [Momoshiro x An]

High School:

- The Rules Saga [Atobe x Ryoma (main), ongoing. Will have 20 chapters. Sequel planned: Clippings.]
* - "Sirius" [Atobe x Ryoma]

Career:

- Since Last Goodbye [Tezuka x Fuji (main), ongoing. Will have 60 chapters, plus the Prologue. Sequel planned: Right By Your Side.]
* - "Prowess" [Atobe x Ryoma]
* - "Oreos and Rocky" [Tezuka x Fuji]
* - "Math Problem" [Tezuka x Fuji]

- Christmas Stories [Tezuka x Fuji, ongoing. Length undetermined. This story jumps around to a different point in the timeline every chapter, thus it gets its own category.]

In addition to the planned sequels noted above and whatever one-shots occur, the stories I have on the drawing board are: I'm Your Moon [Ooishi x Eiji, career period, Dr. Surelove; or, How Kaidou Learned to Stop Refusing and Love the Juice [Inui x Kaidou, college, "Counting the Hours" [Sanada x Yukimura, high school, and One-Track Mind [SLG backstory, high school]. I have no idea when they'll be ready to go. Expect them when you see them. Eventually, I'll also finish some of the no-prisoners-taken crack fics, which have their own timeline that has nothing whatsoever to do with "reality".

UPDATE OUTLOOK: Chapters 11-20 of Since Last Goodbye coming... in more months than I want to speculate on, but I hope in Early 2012. Christmas Stories updates every Christmas, naturally. Look for the last twelve chapters of The Rules Saga sometime in the second half of 2012.

FIFTEEN MOKONA ON A DEAD MAN'S CHEST: [Stories - 4, ongoing]

Nothing is safe. Nothing is sacred. Everything is... pirates vs. ninjas. Possibly with a bit of 'saving the world' thrown in for good measure. The seminal fic was inspired by fanart by zelas. That said, the rest is me taking the pirates and the ninjas and running amok, with a slightly higher percentage of gratuitous adult content than you'd find in most of my other works.

Oh, right...

Most stories in the "Fifteen Mokona" timeline must be edited very slightly for content before posting here. These changes affect absolutely none of the plot content, but edits to adult scenes may vary from vagueing up a few key details to removing entire sections. Unedited versions are available on AO3 and LJ.

Back on point. CLAMP likes mega-verses, and so do I. You can blame this series on Tsubasa and xxxHoLic if you want, but everything is fair game (and I do mean everything). The fics themselves will tend to be shorter episodes that form an epic when taken together, nothing that in itself can be considered an epic. They will also be posted in the order in which they're meant to be read (if you decide to read the whole series instead of a single, random episode). This may include flashback arcs. For reference purposes, that intended order is here:

1) "Rum and Popcorn" [Doumeki x Watanuki, complete. 4 chapters.]
2) "Talk Like a Pirate Day" [Kurogane x Fai, complete. 10 chapters.]
3) "Slings and Arrows" [Doumeki x Watanuki, complete. 1 chapter.]
4) "You Got It" [Rikuou x Kazahaya, in progress. 3 of 4 chapters done. Ch. 4 is seriously so close to done, I just need one Saturday where my brain is working and the world doesn't explode. Sorry for the wait.]

UPDATE OUTLOOK: This is the only series for which I will make promises about when a story will post, as the entire AU is a gift for Beltenebra. Every December/January and every March, you'll see new chapters (usually about four). Most of the time, these will be a complete story, but I reserve the right to split longer ones. Bonus fics may also be published outside of the normal schedule at undetermined intervals as deemed appropriate.

Because this AU is a gift, I will not announce the names or the content of any of the fics I have planned before they go online.

OTHER CLAMP FICS: [2 stories]

The stand-alone story, In You [Tokyo Babylon/X, ongoing (I swear... I'm just slower than dirt because that story is bad for me, but I do want to finish it)] is completely unrelated to pirates or ninjas, and takes place in a slightly AU version of the regular Tokyo Babylon world. Same goes for the one-shot "Steam" [Kurogane x Fai, although you'll have to look that one up on my LJ or on AO3 as I decided not to even attempt making a version that censored the explicit content for archiving here.

UPDATE OUTLOOK: Whenever I feel up to getting back inside Subaru's head. I'll be giving it a shot in 2012, trying to complete the "Dream" arc.

NARUTO: [Stories - 3, ongoing]

Now for something completely different. I have two Naruto timelines, with one major fic for each, and a third planned. For which I'm writing songs. Because I don't have enough to do. (I bring this on myself.)

The Homecoming Saga: I appear to have a habit of giving my friends entire universes designed to their whim. This one is for Sumeria, my lovely beta reader who cannot be thanked enough. Like most of my stuff, it was inspired by something I wrote at two in the morning while half asleep, then sent off to beta to see if it was worth keeping. Apparently, the alternate Shippuuden timeline inspired by Sasuke and Naruto meeting up in the Kizuna movie was enough worth keeping that she kept throwing plot bunnies at me until I agreed to turn it into a 40 chapter complete rewrite of the series, with the potential for 3 or more sequels (as yet unnamed). Hidan may never forgive me, but I don't really care. He's fictional.

Sumeria and I are still deciding whether the "sequel" fics will get their own stories or if they'll simply be added to the end of the Sasuke Arc of Homecoming, as the timeline will be basically unbroken.

The Butterfly Effect: Despite the fact that Homecoming was conceived as "my fluffy AU that's really different from the original series, in that everything works out so much more nicely", it hasn't been that for quite some time. This is. You wanted to read about Itachi getting to stay in Konoha and raising Sasuke and Naruto like brothers? Scandalizing Iruka when he goes to parent/teacher conferences (eventually - that chapter's not yet published...)? Making Sandaime and his best friend Danzou's lives a living hell? Well, here it is, and I'm more than a little proud of how well it's turning out so far. Ongoing, at least 20 chapters planned.

The one-shot, "Spectacles", fits neatly into the nebulous future of either of those two timelines, or the nebulous future of the canon series (as I see it). My third completely separate AU, Backbeat, whose concept is a surprise for now (but perhaps you can guess), will not have any chapters posted until The Butterfly Effect is completed.

UPDATE OUTLOOK: Chapters 4 through about 10 of The Butterfly Effect will be out early in 2012, if my world doesn't explode (again). New chapters of The Homecoming Saga are currently simmering over low heat until caramel-colored, and I have no ETA. That doesn't mean I'm not writing it. It just means that I don't release anything I don't like.

OTHER: [3 stories]

My fics for other fandoms are, I believe, currently self-contained, single entities, only one of which is a multi-part fic. What you see is what you get. Whenever another timeline becomes relevant, I'll add it above.

UPDATE OUTLOOK: Finishing Button Up Your Overcoat [FMA, Roy x Ed] is my current project (Chapters 7-10). That's the plan, anyway. Other things I may write in this category tend to be random and unpredictable. There is no timeline for updating my Marvel universe (tentatively dubbed "Earth-2.71828"). Although there will be more chapters of Make Yourself At Home eventually, because I'm horribly enamored of the idea of Captain America coaching little league (as I am of Steve/Tony and Bucky/Natasha), I can't say when the mood will strike, and you will no doubt notice that my writing queue below is overflowing.

MASTER LIST OF THE ORDER IN WHICH STORIES WILL UPDATE:

Since I've rearranged my writing pattern to work on finishing off Works in Progress, the following is my schedule for what I'm going to pick up as my main project when I'm finished with my current one. This schedule doesn't include Fifteen Mokona on a Dead Man's Chest, since I'm essentially always writing that, concurrent with everything. Other things that may break this schedule are impromptu one-shots and National Novel Writing Month. This schedule may change at my whim, but it's unlikely.

PSA: I'm horribly behind on this list because of several chronic health problems compounding on me since February. I appreciate your patience, since the only known medical cure for half the things that go wrong with me is to stop doing all the things, and then inch my way back into writing as I recover. So. Always behind, never abandoned. Progress is being made behind the scenes.

1) Button Up Your Overcoat (FMA - current project)
2) The Butterfly Effect 4-10
3) Since Last Goodbye 11-20
4) In You: "Dream" arc
5) The Rules Saga 9-20
6) The Homecoming Saga (conditionally)
