16 August

Sorry for not updating at all - I have to leave tomorrow, actually. I'll be back at the computer in a week. -gah I need to write faster-

Important things:

I have an LJ. I've decided to forgo posting review replies there, so expect a personal reply from me - unless you review anonymously - then I'll probably reply either in the chapter or in your email. I'll be posting work logs there instead.

You can click here, type or click the 'homepage' button located up top.

You can also e-mail me at: review_simplecharm@hotmail.com.

I spend more of my time reading than I do updating. I don't treat writing as my job, but my hobby. So expect updates for stories to take about a week or two. I appreciate reviews, especially those that point out things that I otherwise would've missed, but if you don't feel like reviewing, that's fine too.

My favorites are (in no particular order):

Uh... I'll add this again eventually

Quotes:

Anything that does not kill you, makes you stronger. Unless it maims you. Then you, my Dear Friend, are screwed. -Unknown

"Using chocolate as a ramen topping is really good!" -Inoue Orihime, Bleach

"You know, we don't have to eat all the cookies in one day."
"Yes we do! We must eat all the cookies in one day! Rome was built in a day!"
"How is that related..." My dad, my sister, and me, respectively, the day after making 300 or so cookies

"What a letdown, Kurosaki-san. A real letdown. After all, there's nothing but fear reflected in your sword. When you dodge, 'I'm afraid of getting cut.' When you attack, 'I'm afraid of cutting someone.' Even when you try to protect someone, 'I'm afraid of letting them die.' Yes, your sword speaks to me only of absurd fear. That's not it. What's necessary in a fight isn't fear. Nothing can be born from that. If you dodge, 'I won't let them cut me.' If you protect someone, 'I won't let them die.' If you attack, 'I'll cut them.' Well, can't you see the resolve to cut you reflected in my sword?" -Urahara Kisuke, Bleach

"Lee... I need to tell you something."
"Yes! What is it, Gai-sensei?"
"That gourd on his back... is very suspicious." Turns to see Lee scribbling it down in a book - punches Lee
"You don't have the time to write that down! Get down there!"
"Yes, Gai-sensei!" -Maito Gai and Rock Lee before Lee's Chunnin exam battle, Naruto (I don't think I quoted this accurately...)

"Oh, man, Quatre loves to blame himself for everything if you let him. Sooner or later, he'll start saying that there's no air in space because he didn't work on it hard enough." -Duo Maxwell, Gundam Wing

"'No offense'? It's like you telling me, 'no offense, but I think you're an idiot.' It's like I'll just say, 'oh yeah, no offense taken. I don't mind being called an idiot'." One of my after-school program teachers

"I got a 65 on my binder check."
"How'd you do that?"
"Well, I didn't capitalize or use any punctuation... so I lost 20 points for that."
"TWENTY POINTS?" My friend and me, repectively

"Insanity is what makes people sane, you know."
"But... you're insane."
"Exactly." My sister and me, in that order

"Your a stupidhead."
"Hey! That's not nice!"
"...Great retort you've got there..."
"Who calls their friend a 'stupidhead?'"
"Me, obviously." My friend and I, in that order

"Life is either a daring adventure, or nothing." Random fortune from a fortune cookie

"Don't be discouraged, because every wrong attempt discarded is another step forward." Another random fortune from a fortune cookie

"No, they're boy's shoes. You see how down there it says G-A-P? It stands for 'girls are poopy.'" My friend, attempting to convince someone that her shoes are boy's shoes

I've been thinking of some story plots that I'm going to do (note that one-shot plots will not be listed):

The Other Side of Me

Tomoyo is considered number one in academics and love advice. The new boy, Eriol, is also amazing when it comes to school, but she never expected him to ask for her help. (Cardcaptor Sakura, Eriol/Tomoyo-centric)

I Forgot

So what would've happened if the Void Card had not only erased Syaoran's memories, but Meiling and Tomoyo's as well? And what happens when Sakura, Eriol, and the other three become roomates - at boarding school? Eriol's got a few things to mess around with now, doesn't he? (CCS)

The Switch

How embarrasing. Switch Day is here, and Syaoran and Sakura have been assigned partners. Can they manage to pose as each other successfully, or will it not work out? (CCS)

Double Identity

For Tomoyo, becoming a spirit-sealer was something she'd thought would be simple. Throw a silver ball at the spirit, and it'd get sucked in. But it's not that easy with others around... (CCS)

My Mistake

"It's Sasuke, isn't it?" "How did you know?" Four words that she didn't mean to say. But she did anyways. Who really cares about the cold jerk on her team? Not her, that's for sure. (Naruto)

Academy Days

Back when Team Gai was in the academy, Lee was picked on, Neji never said anything, and Tenten was the girl no one noticed. Until, that is, Tenten tries to make friends with Lee. (Naruto)

My New School

Sakura is a new student in her sophmore year, with the goal of being invisible. And she's convinced Naruto to join her. Tenten's causing problems with the hottest boys in school, and Shikamaru just finds it all too troublesome. There's no way this will work out... (Naruto, typical highschool fic)

The Rotation Jutsu

To get along, Sakura and Naruto were put under a 'rotation jutsu' by Tsunade. And now, Sasuke is back. Something bad is going to happen... (Naruto)

Olette

Her three best friends are suddenly acting strange... and she wants to know why. (Kingdom Hearts)

Mirror Image

(summary pending, Kingdom Hearts)

Matches and Fire

Axel thinks he's got it all figured out: Roxas likes Namine, and vice versa. When will he realize that he's wrong...? (Kingdom Hearts)

My Imagination

Namine was always quiet, always shy, and always wore white. Her sister, Kairi, dressed in all black. Do white and black really make a difference? (Kingdom Hearts)
