1) Fairy Tail Yonkoma Collection Set 4 uploaded. Collection now on Hiatus.

2) I figured a mere one thousand words was too short, so Chapter 1 of Dying Embers is being extended. Not that this matters, as I'm not planning on uploading any content on it till a few chapters are complete. But just in case anyone is curious about it's status...there you go.

3) Fairy Tail fan fiction one-shot Tomorrow in the works.

Favorite Character(s)
Disliked/[Hated] Character(s)
• Supported Pairing(s)
Θ 'Neutral'
- Disliked Pairing(s)
-- Hated Pairing(s)

I rarely hate a character—dislike maybe, but not hate—so when you see those brackets around an underlined name, you know I utterly detest him/her
Θ: Rarely used unless I actually like the pairing, but either favor a different one or am undecided
Some of you might be wondering what the comma in some of the shippings represents; obviously, the "child" of the "family."

For any pairings not mentioned, I either:
1) I don't support them, but I also don't dislike them to the point that it's worth mentioning.
2) I feel that said pairing is crack.

However, I do not support Alto/Sheryl without Ranka. Ironically, while I have nothing against the triangle, it's also one thing that makes me hate this show to an extent, because there just isn't that sense of closure present.}

Favorite Anime Movies:

1) Toki wo Kakeru Shōjo (The Girl Who Leapt Through Time)

- This is truly a masterpiece.

2) Toaru Hikūshi e no Tsuioku (The Princess and the Pilot) (Recollections of the Pilot)

- Would have been perfect without the epilogue.

3) Summer Wars

- Unfortunately, I had to watch this one in dub.

Things i dislike in fan fictions:

- OCs as main protagonist (supporting character or antagonist is fine...and as for semi-main protagonist, it depends on story)

- Character bashing (its seriously a dumb thing to do, especially if the characters are made OOC for that sole purpose)

- Adding something in dialogue (or monologue) that was already said in narration, or vice versa.

Other Stuff:

- Usually, I'm a supporter of childhood friends (i.e. Natsu/Lisanna , Rikuo/Kana).

- If the above does not apply to the character in question, most likely I support the first love (i.e. Tsunayoshi/Kyoko , Alto/Ranka). This doesn't always hold true though, as with the case of Kira/Flay, of which I hate to no ends.

- I have a dislike for love triangles—a dislike analogous to hate—because I absolutely can't stand someone being left out. (Unless the one being left out is a very dislikable character.)

- D - e - f - i - n - i - t - e - l - y. Definitely. Spell it correctly, please. If it's a problem with auto-correction, then look over your work before publishing it.

- Review Policy: From the moment this notice was put up, I decided that I'd review all chapters/stories I read. If I haven't, that means I haven't read the story, I haven't gotten to the chapter yet, or I dropped the story.

Favorite Books: (plus pairings and which book in the series I'm up to, if its a series)

1) The Phantom Tollbooth

2) Deltora Quest/ Deltora Shadowlands/ Dragons of Deltora (finished)

- Lief/Jasmine

3) Septimus Heap (Darke)

- Septimus/Syrah

- Septimus/Jenna

I like Jenna, and would prefer it be her with Septimus. But series seems to be leaning towards Syrah, which I'm fine with. I've grown to like Syrah's character, though she hasn't really appeared much.

4) Percy Jackson and the Olympians/ Heroes of Olympus (The Lost Hero)

- Percy/Annabeth

- Jason/Piper

Though I haven't read Heroes of Olympus yet, I have a habit of spoiling stories for myself by looking at the plot online. xD

5) Kane Chronicles (The Throne of Fire)

- Anubis/Sadie

- Carter/Zia

6) Leviathan Trilogy (Goliath)

7) Series of Unfortunate Events (finished)

My Stories: I'm not exactly a fan of fluff, and you probably won't be seeing me write any of it. Usually, the stories would have a more serious tone overlaying the romance.

Upcoming Stories: (Note: some of these may be combined into a single story)

1) The Festival (Fairy Tail. Natsu/Lisanna, Happy)

2) Draconic Sanctuary (Fairy Tail. Natsu/Lisanna, Happy)

- Natsu renews his search for Igneel, and Happy obviously joins. But why is Lisanna being dragged along too?

* Possibly will be fused with Dying Embers.

3) Towards the Future (Natsu/Lisanna, Happy) -- Co-written by SoulAcademy. This was the original form of "His Disapproval," before we got caught up in the minor details of the journal entries which led us off track from the original plot, which is, of course, very different.

- Tragedies, encounters, separations, reunions...this is their story.

4) Tomorrow (Natsu/Lisanna, Happy)

- How long do you have to wait for a tomorrow that will never come?

5) Dying Embers

Plan:

Chapter 1: Natsu Dragneel: Desert Encounters

Chapter 2: Lisanna Strauss: Her Decision

Chapter 3: Lisanna Strauss: Princess of the Zodiac

Chapter 10: Natsu Dragneel: Convergence in Pergrande

Chapter 11: Gajeel Redfox: Arriving First

Chapter 12: Lisanna Strauss: Realities Intertwined

Chapter 13: --

(etc.)

As for when it'll be uploaded, you'll just have to wait.

I made a few changed to the beginning section, and removed the excerpt that was previously posted here. Instead, I replaced it with something much shorter, but also much more powerful (in my opinion). I'm planning to make it an important element to the story, but it might not turn out that way:

“I don’t like it. It doesn’t fit someone like you. Did you know? Salamanders are actually amphibious and nocturnal animals. Someone like you with a bright and fiery personality has nothing in common with a salamander.”

And if you want a rough summary:

Nearly half a year ago, Lucy Heartfilia disappeared without a trace and was labeled as deceased. However, in the most unlikely of places, Natsu finally discovers a lead and, along with Happy, embarks on a quest to find her. He is joined by one other person, though—Lisanna. On the course of their journey, will Natsu fall for Lisanna [again] or will he stay true to his feelings for Lucy?
