Lover of yarns, threads, and knots (both literal and literary!)
I particularly love legends, fantasy, folklore, history, SF, science and stories about things that go bump in the night.
Oh, and poetry. Especially poetry.

My big monster story: A Tale of Ever After
based in part on the timeline stories of Tales of Ever After, it's a bigger, fuller retelling, set during the events of the last chapter of the manga and the days beyond. This is done as a continuing series, with story arcs that tell my version of InuYasha and Kagome's life, along with the rest of the Inutachi after Kagome's return to the past. I jokingly call it, Days of Our Lives, Sengoku Jidai version.
There are a lot of characters in this story, because most of the story happens as they interact with the people of Kaede's village.
Here's a list of some of the villagers:
Tameo (village headman) He is Kaede's cousin.
his wife, Hisa
son: Susumu who is married to Emi - they have several children, including Yorime, Suzume, and Aomi
son: Kinjiro who is married to Matsume. Matsume is expecting.
Other important families:
Toshiro, one of the village elders and head of the second most important family. He is a widower
Son: Yasuo. Married to Sayo. They have several children
Takeshi, nephew of Tameo
Daughters: Erime and Tama
Daitaro, cousin of Tameo
Wife: Chime
Sons: Shinjiro, who is a widower and soon to marry Erime. Genjo, who is married to Mariko. They have a son named Jinichi
Tsuneo, village elder and leader of the 3rd most important family. This family does not like InuYasha being in the village.
Wife: Haname
Son: Joben (married to Akina. Aki and Setsuko are his children.)
Daughter: Chiya (Chiya is married to Michio, who is a cousin of Toshiro's. They have Nori, Masato and Asuka as children)
Other villagers
Choujiro, one of the poorer villagers, who is not related to any of the three main faimilies. He is married to Yurime, and has a son, Daichi
Daisuke, one of the oldest villagers. His daughter is Hisako. He has a greatgrandson through Hisako named Mitsunari, but no other surviving children at the time of the story.
Fumio is the village smith. His wife is Koume. They are the parents of Kimi, Eiji's wife
Akimori is the husband of Fujime. They are the parents of Eiji and Haruo and Akiko.
Eiji is married to Kimi. They have a son named Yoshi
Haruo is married to Teruko
Jun is married to Riki. They have a son named Mikio, and they work for Tameo and live at his compound.
Koichi works for Tameo
Denjiro is the husband of Sora. They are rather poor, and have several children. He does work for both Tsuneo and Toshiro's family.
Ryota, who is the best roofer in the village. He is married to Maki
Isamu is married to Yaya. They are fond of Miroku, or at least the Buddha.
This list is not complete, and will be re-edited from time to time.
Tales of Ever After - My InuYasha post-manga universe of stories
TIMELINE EDITED January 4, 2010 - clickable up through the middle of 1558
Note: I picked the year 1557 kind of arbitrarily on purpose (it's based on some historical assumptions I've made, including the fact that Oda Nobunaga, who is mentioned in the Manga, was a rising but not dominant power, the level of peaceful things going on in the Musashi area in 1554, and because of other arcane and obscure historical reasons. This really is my own assumption, not from anything RT said. But it does give me some place to hang my timeline from!)
