On hiatus:

Paths of Destiny- I will finish this one day. Once I clean it up a bit. It's been stewing in my brain for a while.

Current Projects:

30 Kisses: Kurama and Botan- something I'm doing for the LJ community of the same name. Just drabbles of whatever comes to mind. I'm really trying to portray the characters as how they're meant to be, or at least how I see them. That means showing all aspects of them.

Somewhere in the Between- this is a different one. It revolves around the idea of what would you do for someone you love, friend or otherwise? There are many different kinds of love, many different aspects to devotion. I'm hoping to show some of them by using Riku's relationship with Sora, and with other people.

Future Projects:

A Rose by Any Other Name- in progress right now. As soon as I finish it, I'll start posting. I don't think it will be too long, but I've always wanted to do a story about Kurama and his mother. So it will be mainly about their relationship. Probably some romance as well, cause I'm a sucker for that type of stuff. It's also in first person, which is something new to me. I hope people will like it!

Art: I'm not an artist, but every once in a while I get the urge to sketch. My deviant art gallery only has one pic now- I lost other stuff when my thumb drive got stolen, and my sketch books are back in the US

I-Know-You

Gift art for LoquitorLatinae's fantastic fic, Oathkeeper's Dawn. It's a bit of a spoiler for part of the story, and doesn't do it much justice. Her characterization is in depth, and her storyline grabs your interest. Absolutely love.

On another note, I'm putting the lyrics for the song below that "Somewhere in the Between" is kinda derived from. You should listen to it if you have the chance- very good band. My fave on that cd is "One Foot on the Gas, One Foot in the Grave"

Song: Somewhere in the Between

Artist: Streetlight Manifesto

You were gone when we found you
You were practically surrounded, you were trapped
But the opposition stalled, their blood ran cold
When they saw the look of love in your eyes
Maybe the times we had, they weren't that bad
And everything else was part of the plan
We sang: "I don't know where we go from here"
This is the alpha, omega, beginning and the end
And we all just idolize the dead
So you were born (So you were born), and that was a good day
Someday you'll die (Someday you'll die), and that is a shame
But somewhere in the between was a life of which we all dream
And nothing and no one will ever take that away
You had a love and that love had you
And nothing mattered, you were fine
And some will complain, they're just bitter, what a shame
They know that loving and losing is better than nothing at all
Maybe the times we had, they weren't that bad
And everything else was part of our path
We sang: "I don't know where we go from here"
This is the anthem, the slogan, the summary of events
And we all just idealize the past
So you were born (So you were born), and that was a good day
Someday you'll die (Someday you'll die), and that is a shame
But somewhere in the between was a life of which we all dream
And nothing and no one will ever take that away
(Instrumental Solos)
Yeah, the times we had, they were not that bad
And everything else, that was part of the plan
And we sang, "I don't know where we go from here"
This is the Alpha (Alpha!), Omega (Omega!), beginning and the end!
And we all just idolize the dead
So you were born (So you were born), and that was a good day
Someday you'll die (Someday you'll die), and that is a shame
But somewhere in the between was a life of which we all dream
And nothing and no one will ever take that away
And someday soon my friends, this ride will come to an end
But we can't just get in line again.
