Update End of Summer 2015: Looking back at my previous update, I really want to laugh at my audacity of believing I could continue Diary of Bakura or any other Fanfiction related shenanigans. At the time, I was completely prepared to rewrite the story and a sequel and had more stories planned. Over the last two months, I've stared at the blank word document until I started writing nothing related to Yu-Gi-Oh! or anything I could really launch onto this website. I mean, honestly, I haven't been active in two years now, and no one seems interested in me or my ideas any longer. My conclusion is I feel like I've outgrown this account, and more than likely will not log back on again. I guess that makes this goodbye.

Update 15 Minutes Before SAT: Excuses time! I haven't been here since August because! 1. That one AP class I took along with Chemistry ruined my entire Junior year experience (I was literally writing two essays a week at home at some point along with seven page packets of Chemistry hell and I just *screams*). 2. Writer's block struck me like never before. 3. I was being poisoned by a coffee maker (It's a long, complex story that involved a coffee maker I got from my Uncle and please just accept that I was so sick I couldn't keep any liquids down and lost 6 lbs in one week and spend the rest of my four months with that coffee maker just sick in general).

I plan on writing again very soon (next week once this hellish SAT is over with).

Tokyo Ghoul got its evil claws around my heart, and I just want to share how much I love it- *starts crying*

Guys, I've been such an emotional wreak, I'm really sorry. Any of you still out there and interested in me? My recent story out of nowhere came from a Tumblr favor. I tried really hard to be funny! *sees clock and runs out of house screaming apologies*

Update: I recently re-read Diary of Bakura and realized how badly I represented Thief King Bakura/Yami Bakura's story through horrendous grammar mistakes and gigantic inconsistencies. So coming soon, Diary of Bakura will be completely re-written with less mistakes, different points of view, and added scenes.

Also, I have another story that should be appearing next summer. Scars of Mortality will delve into Yami Bakura's regrets, choices, and changes after inexplicably returning to the land of the living (may turn into a romance depending on the audience).

Basic information I am willing to share
