~January 2006~

Hello everyone, this is Ashley, previously with the pen name Youkai Master Kurama but now SilverGodYouko. Many people call me Youko now a days, though many also call me by my real name. I've been away from FanFiction.net for some time now, roughly 2 years, perhaps a bit longer. Since I used to write, I've matured a great deal and believe that my writing has also followed suit. Those who knew my old writing know that I was a devoted Yu Yu Hakusho fan (translation: YYH Addict), and even though it still remains a very special series to me, my severe obsession has faded quite a bit. Instead I have expanded my horizons and have a great number of interests. I must say, however, that I still consider myself on expert on YYH, having seen every episode made and both movies.

But listening to the paragraph I just wrote...that sounds way too serious, lol. So anyways, if you'd like to get a good idea of my interests, check out www.myspace.com/youko_chan. I check it almost daily. Email me if you like as well, no one ever does anymore. Also, I've been working on an original story/soon-to-be-made manga with a couple friends, so as soon as I can remember what site I'm suppose to go to for that, I'll talk to my friends about posting some of it there.

~~~~Fic Updates/Information~~~

I re-read Dark Lust and went "Wow, did I really write that?" Though I noticed that thequality went downhill chapter by chapter. I might try to pick up that one(I still love the old HieiKurama pairing...) but will probably start something new, that's for sure. As to what, I have no clue..Perhaps Kingdom Hearts, since I'm so pumped about the second game, and having just completed Chain of Memories(though only with Sora...). I'm a total RE freak too, so I might give that a shot as well(can you say blood? I though so...). Who knows what else I might think up...

Also, I'm inclined to write Shounen-ai, but we're talking cutesy romantic stuff, not graphic Hentai. :twitches at the mention of the word: I typically dislike crossovers, I HATE original characters who take over the basic story-line(ok, so I'm referring to other's works. when an OC is involved, they should FIT where they're supposed to be...), and I never, EVER involve my personal self into a story. Why the heck would anyone want to read that?(another thing that annoys me...peoples, odds are if you wanna be with a character, so does that reader. You're just annoying them. Keep your personal fantasies in your head... -_-). Sorry for my opinionated nature everyone...but that's about it. =

Wait, I just glanced at both those paragraphs...and this thought came to mind...I think I'm going to go with a SoraRiku Kingdom Hearts fic. Yeah...that sounds good. Perhaps it will even turn into a love Triangle with...Axel? Oooh, I'm excited! Come back soon to find out what the heck I'm going to do, cause I don't even know for sure!

Jamatta ne minna-san!
