Update on In Progress Fics (March, 2008): Yes, I do intend to finish Frozen Sky. Unfortunately, life can be a real pain, and I have had almost no time to devote to fanfic writing. Also, I am a canon thumping psycho, and after the release of more info on Hitsugaya's actual past (the omake chapter bleach-15 on his childhood, not Diamond Dust Rebellion which I found nonsensical in addition to being non-canonical), I am going to have to rewrite some of Frozen Sky to be canon compliant. (I am compelled! I am also, I will admit, really happy to have discovered that a lot of what I had imagined for Hitsugaya's past proved to be so close to the truth! I hope this bodes well for my hopes for him in the future.) So it may take some time, but for those willing to wait - yes, Frozen Sky will some day be finished.

Spoilers and canon continuity:

If you are not completely up to date on the manga for BLEACH, then assume that all of my stories contain spoilers, implicit, explicit, or otherwise. Regardless of whether or not any particular story of mine deals specifically with spoiler-y events, most of the stories will be informed by those events and will often reference them. So this is a spoiler-rife zone.

In regards to canon continuity, and manga vs. anime -- for all of my stories, I am using the manga as the base reality. Where the anime contradicts or deviates from the manga, I am writing according to the manga (ie, as if the contradictory portion of the anime does not exist). However, on the occasions where the anime elaborates on the manga without contradicting it (for example, the extended scenes in the anime dealing with Renji and Rukia's shared past), then I am incorporating those anime elaborations into the continuity as canon.

The terminology I use is a mishmash of the different fansubbed or scanlated translations I've seen, depending on which turn of phrase or title sounds more appealing to me. So if you're coming here having only seen the English dubbed episodes of the anime or read only the VIZ translation of the manga, a great many of the names and terms herein may be new and confusing. I suggest familiarizing yourself with them eventually, however, since after episode 63 of the anime you're going to want to start reading the manga in any case. :)

All of which, I'm sure, is not really that important. But I thought I'd mention it just in case anyone was bored enough to be wondering.

Anyone seeking Harry Potter fanfic under this crazy person's penname will have to seek it out elsewhere. I decided it was time to start cleaning the old fanfic house; this stuff has been floating around for too many years, and I can't keep up anymore. I needed to consolidate all of that old HP stuff in one place where it could rest in peace. It is all now happily dozing away its old age at The Sugar Quill retirement home. But I'm leaving "Job Hazards" up here because I'm proud, in a strange way, of being the first person (yep, the first!) to put Bill up as the star of his own stories (way back in the truly old school days of HP fandom), and seeing that story's posting date here from all those years ago makes me feel nostalgic. :)
