Before We Begin: An Author's Introduction

Hello There! My name is Sephora and I've managed this account with my friend Sabrina for going on four years now…and we've accomplished very little. This is my plan to make amends for these failures.

If I had a penny for every Sesshoumaru+Rin FanFiction idea floating around in my head I'd have more money than I could EVER spend in my entire life. In all seriousness: SesshRin fanfiction comes first in my life before everything else (God, I need a man) followed closely by music. Funny how I eat/sleep/drink Sesshoumaru and Rin but can't seem to spit out a good fanfic, ne? That's where Sanjuu Kisu comes in!

I was walking around with my iPod yesterday mapping out the plotline for one of my fics (that I wholly intend to post up here quite soon) and I happened, as is quite common, upon a new fic idea. But the plot was haphazard and I knew it wouldn't work out, so I was a bit sad for the loss of a good idea.

Now, my life revolves around music: the average day involves getting up, grabbing a quick snack, walking to the bus stop with my iPod, getting on the bus and listening to the iPod for 30 minutes, turning it off for school, and turning it back on the moment I'm out the doors after which it does not go off until I'm safely in bed. Yeah…I need a life.

I got some new songs yesterday and, being a musician, my fics usually find inspiration from songs. Sometimes the words, other times the mere flow of the music can build up an entire story in my head in a day. That happened yesterday. TWICE.

I was walking along trying to think of a way to solve my problems when I remembered someone on writing one of the 30 kisses challenges for Sesshoumaru and Rin and the esteemed Kirayasha aka Kira wrote one of the challenges for Jakotsu/Bankotsu. So I decided I'd give it a whirl myself.

RULES:

The Live journal Community "Thirty Kisses", which I'm not a part of because I don't have a live journal and don't want one, dictated 30 words/phrases that must inspire 30 little vignettes for one pairing.

LJ specified they need not be in any order as long as they are all there.

Some of these prompts are going to give me problems (ie: "Wada Calcium cd3" and "Kilohertz") but I'll work it out somehow. :D

This is the perfect challenge for me: by writing something short I'll be able to convince myself to actually WRITE THE DAMN THING OUT. I'll be able to finally finish something (one of the main reasons I never post anything up here is because I never actually want to end the stories), And I can input into these vignettes the little fic ideas I've let vanish into the back of my brain and rot: they can finally have their chance to shine.

MY RULES:

I will, because this is Thirty Kisses, try to put a kiss in every one-shot, but I will not guarantee them. I do love a good SesshRin smooch. :P

I write AU fics best, but I'm reserving the right to have handful of original InuYasha plot ficlets in here, too.

I will post the details of the plot (character age, time period, existence of youkai, etc) at the top of the chapter before the fic begins.

I will ATTEMPT to post one-two chapters per every TWO WEEKS.

Some fics will be very innocent in nature (a kiss on the cheek) others…not so much (heavy petting?). Viewer discretion is advised. I've always wanted to say that…XD

Without any further ado, read on! And please, please, PLEASE review if you like them (or don't like them). Criticism and compliments are always welcome. Unless you flame me, which is not welcome.

Enjoy!
