News: [13/02/2011] I'm back! Expect some more updates soon!

I still suffer under my data loss from some time ago - I didn't wait some time to start to publish "I will wait for you" for nothing after all. Now all peparations are gone D: But that shall be no problem no more! My laptop seems to work perfectly fine again finally :3 I also reworked most of the outline and character stuff, so I'll work on preparing scenes and chapters properly again.

You might also see another story soon, too. Don't fear only of short nature of course, while I focus on my dear main project IWWFY!

Heya,

the.striped.one here. I'm new, but I've been a frequent visitor since my earliest days on the internet.

Always been writing for myself only. That is no way to improve, is it? So here I am!

I'm very thankful for any pointers and feedback you might give me - including the english grammar (I'm obviously not a native speaker).

I generally stick to canon or what could fit it when you squint. There will be no crack (unless it's for the lulz) or yaoi in what I write. Just not into those :)

I do write completely original stories, too. But those are in my mothertongue and aren't meant for public display. Maybe someday I will show some stuff somewhere else.

Current works:

Since I'm currently very obsessed with it, I think you will only see Fullmetal Alchemist fiction for now.

I like the first anime, but since I like the characterizations of my favorite characters in the manga and the new anime better, FMA stories will be based on them. Wrote a lot of Royai stuff recently .. but I'll eventually post something about other characters, too.

I still write some short things, but my main focus will be "I will wait for you" since I'd like to update it pretty often.

Any of the short stories I've been working on are scratched for now - since I lost all of it due to the supidity of my laptop and an USB stick.

Running project:

I will wait for you

"About four years after the promised day our heroes have settled into their new lives. They stop their daily lives to gather for a wedding - but things just never stay peaceful. A mysterious case casts a shadow on the happy gathering - and while they get to the bottom of the matter they have to face things they wanted to forget and people they thought of as allies. Will this case just be another entry in their long list of tragedies or will this bring them more happiness in the end?

A story about lovers, friends and murderers. And people that are all of the above."

First long story. A bit of mystery! Main purpose is character exploration and interactions in this one, in addition to many characters from the series appearing. But it all revolves around the 'mysterious case'. The plot is outlined, but I'm not all set on the extent of time I invest on some aspects, so feel free to voice what you would like to see more of.
