This a place where I get to rant and talk about what ever I want. *evil smirk* yes, be scared everyone cause I actually am giving myself a talk to rant about stuff no one wants to listen to. ^_~ too bad. Or, you could just skip this part and go on to my story *points left* straight down that isle, turn left and go straight until your first right. That's /Chapter 1/. Choices, choices – listen to me rant and occasionally stick in updates or actually read what you came here to read? :
Author's note/Updates:
[February 22, 2004]
Jesus christ, it's almost exactly an year since the last chapter!? Holy shit. I'm sorry for being lazy and … well, being my usual self in procrastinating my ass off on this. New email address. Not busyizzy86@hotmail.com. So don't stalk me on that anymore. Hmmm, what else to discuss? I'm really sorry for the delay. I actually wrote this 2 years ago, but I never bothered putting it up, cuz I hoped to get in more edits and ideas and fix it up a bit before putting it up. Errrr, right, that kindof failed, didn't it? Well, I didn't even read this through. At all. Not even the first sentence. Cuz if I did, I'd be tempted to work on it again, and it'd never be finished. EVER.
I did have a New Years resolution to start writing again, and so, here it is. I will. It might be strange as my writing style might have changed over the span of 1-2 years. But that's a good thing, right? It also not be very flowy or anything or even coherent. X_x;; Umm, right. Anyway. Here, chapter 3. And apparently, I already put up chapter 3. But it's not up there. All the better, as chapter 4, which is about Miguel, is not even near done. At all. Cuz I need to start writing it. ^^;;

^^;; ahahaha, long time no see, ne? Just a couple of things. I got a new email address so those stalkers of mine should update their address book. ^^ Um, I'm still alive, even after nearly 6 months without updates. Busy, lazy, just couldn't be bothered are all excuses I will use. ^^ Speaking of which, anyone else got caught in that nasty snow storm? I did. ^^ One whole week without school. w00t, baby, w00t! :D And so, I decided to take some time to write some. Umm … I wrote that I already put up /Chapter 3/ last time I updated but apparently I lied. Or rather, my computer lied. Damn, I should have checked. Ah well, here's /chapter 3/ and I'm working on chapter 4. To make updates less sporadic, my brother's gonna push me to write more. ^^;; let's hope that works out well.
Anyhoo, /Chapter 3/ is about Viole. Now, knowing even less about Viole than we fans know about Chesta and Gatti, I kindof made everything up. Well, I made up everything for everyone else too. . Ah well … look out for Miguel in /chapter 4/, hopefully up within the next couple weeks although I won't promise anything. After Miguel, I'll do Dalet and Guimel (ohhh .. sheep boy, I think I'll have fun with this one ^^) and maybe Dilandau although that's doubtful. I really don't wanna try to put myself in the mindset of a pyromaniac psycho like Dilandau (brother: even though you already are one, me: *smack* shush yu, that's a secret between you and me). It's hard enough to juggle around the personalities, families, and characters of just 7 people. I definitely won't try to do all 15. ^^;; Just 7, and maybe +Dilandau. Maybe. Depends on what people say so review damn it. Or if not review, email me. Make me feel loved (or, make my stories feel loved) so I'll be motivated to write some more. ^^
Anyway, that was just a summary of my plans. After introducing the final character, I think I'll go back to Chesta and just circle around until they all come together. I haven't planned out what I'll do then. Maybe just end this as I've been dragging this on way too long already. Suggestions?
Whew, this was actually an update on my story and not me bitching about physics and other personal problems. Yay for me. That's a rarity in itself. Now scuse me while you go read /chapter 3/ and I go write /chapter 4/. Enjoy. ^_~

Jesus! It's been a while since I updated, ne/ Don't worry, I'm still alive here! Barely hanging in there though. ;_; School sux so much, you know that? I did pretty good first quarter but I gotta hang in there. Physics is a killer … ;_;
Okay, enough bitching about my pathetic life. You guys don't care, all you want is the story, ne? I finished /Chapter 3/ (no, it didn't take me 3 months but I've been busy and too lazy to get it up here). Anyway, I present you .. Chapter 3! I'm gonna try to work a little on my story every week, probably Sunday, but no promises. Anyway, read on.

My how time flies. I said I'll get /Chapter 2/ up the last time I updated but … I guess I lied. But I finally got off my lazy butt and did it. ^_^ *yawn* I woke up at 11 this morning and immediately started on this, knowing I would never get to this if I didn't start now. Right now, it's nearing 1:00 PM. I make no promises but I will try to get /Chapter 3/ up this week. It will be hard, though, with school starting on the 28th and me not even close to finishing my summer hw. I know, what kind of fucked up school gives out summer hw? And a hell lot of it too … *sigh* well, I'll stop ranting on about this. I'm going to go do my homework … or probably not. But, I just like saying that cuz it makes me feel like I actually did some of it and am not just procrastinating. ^_^.
By the way!!!! Enjoy /Chapter 2/ and tell me all about it! If you like, if you don't – do you like /Chapter 1/ or /Chapter 2/ better and so on and so forth. Arigatou!

I was really really busy today. Went to my mom's office to help her out with some files cuz we just went to Korean last week and she got a shytload of work piled up during the time we went to Korea. Was planning to put up /Chapter 2/ but didn't have enough time to finish it today cuz of driving school. _ ick, driving school sucks so bad. It's sooo sooo sooo boring!!!! Well, I'm going to go work on /Chapter 2/ and try to finish it by today. Can't promise anything cuz I got a lot of summer hw I haven't finished that I should be working on.
[August 13, 2002]
**Updated a second time** stupid stupid stupid!! I changed it and uploaded /Chapter One/ about a million times, but NO. the stupid paragraph thing will not get fixed. Hopefully, this is the last time …. *menacing glare at computer* … grrr ….
Whoops, I found out that my formatting didn't work out too well on /Chapter 1/ - thanx to /Dark-Queen/ for pointing that out to me. But, hopefully, it's all fixed now *crosses fingers* and you will have paragraphs. Sorry to those who had to read it without paragraphs *shivers* quite an awful way to read a story – so, it's fixed now, so go and read it! Chapter 2 should be up later today or tomorrow … depending on how time works out … it'll probably be tomorrow.

Put up /Chapter 1/ –completely edited from last time (when up at Pockyqueen's). took me 2 hrs to edit it, yikes ….
I know, this story was by pockyqueen. That's my old name. If you don't believe me, go check. I took down this story there and posted a little note that says check back here! So = P to you!
I love the Dragonslayers – they're my favorite characters in Escaflowne! If you haven't seen the show, you should. It's really really good. ^_^ And you wouldn't get parts of my story without some background knowledge on the show. Anyhow, I hope you enjoy my story! I worked really hard on it! If there are any mistakes (grammar or story-wise), please email me and tell me what's wrong. Please read and review. I have to get motivated to write cause I'm lazy and if lots of people shower me with praises, I really get motivated. ^_~ jk, actually, lots of criticism is welcome, only if its constructive criticism though. I really want to improve my writing and it can't be done without criticism. So, any comments, good or bad, welcome! (wow, aren't I just asking for trouble?)
What else to talk about? Yeah, any story ideas are also welcome. I'm trying to as creative as possible with this story – the problem being I'm not very creative. I'm trying though! Give me credit for that, please.
And I edited all three chapters of what I had. I had 16 hrs on the plane to Korea so that's what I did. Editing 3 chapters took me a helluva long time though … even with my 16 hrs to do nothing! I only made the actual changes on the computer to chapter one, which is what I'm putting up. _ that takes a long time too.
Hmmmmmmmm ………. Thank you for taking the time to read my story. It means a lot to me. It's my first fanfic ever! Yes, I know it's kindof long (by the way, tell me if it drags …) but for those that sat there, reading word for word my story, a prize for you! (well, not exactly … but …a pat on the head! *pats heads of those readers* yay for you!) Anyway, I'm going to go edit the rest of my chapters. G'day to y'all.
