Updates

Generally speaking, almost all of the fanfics here are stories that I don't intend on updating. If it has been more than a year since I published or updated something, it should be considered as permanently dropped. Sorry, but after that amount of time, I have likely lost all interest in it. There are exceptions, but this should be a blanket understanding. The ones I do intend to update, in this order, are as follows:

Another Night, Another Psycho

Unfriendly Welcome

Knowledge

(Aaaugh! Who am I kidding?! In light of my computer's recent crash and loss of works-in-progress, I'll never update those before I turn seventy!)

Awards

With absolutely no authority given to me, I annually give out an imaginary award called the Cheesey Cheddar Wheel of Creative and Credible Use of Characters. It's my way of saying "This is the best fic I have found, out of the year!" in a way my favorites list cannot convey. If it's here, I can guarantee a good read. I know that the new navigational system on the site has somewhat rendered this list moot, but maybe someone finds it helpful or interesting.

And I've decided to give out honorable mentions as well. I just- this year was so haaard, ya know?

Blatant Advertising

There is another out there. Another author and she is referred to as Deadlydoodlebug. She has some great ideas for the 's archive! She's not very active at the moment, but she has some interesting stories in her archive. Yes, this is advertising for a friend. Is it working? :D

I'm A Dick

Well, I know that I used to be whenever I use my incredible powers of hindsight. It's hard to honestly say now, but I consider myself much less dickish than I used to be. In any case, I'd just like to apologize for my rudeness in my old fiction. I'd take out my silly words, but I'm too lazy to go through each individual chapter to polish it. Besides, I think I kinda' like it being there, since it makes me feel like I've made some real progress. Actually, I'd like to toss out several stories too, so that I can feel cleansedof past monstrosities, but the rare review makes me keep them.
