Thus far, I haven't had the inclination to update my profile but the lack of updates on my stories has my guilty conscience bugging me for days...so here you go.

Just to give you guys a brief idea on how my stories are written: I usually like to let them 'stew' for a month or so before I decide that they're worth posting. Although till now, things have not been working out this way. My 'Turning the Tides' and 'Time with the Cherry Blossom Tree' being posted just hours after I've written them. I call them my 'spontaneous ventures' and they're one-of-a-kind (or two—depends on how you look at them, I suppose... XD).

I'll be updating my profile if I have any words or ideas to share and I'll highlight them in bold so it's easy for you guys to see them. The part above this horizontal break-line would be more on my thoughts while the bottom half would be on anything regarding my stories.

My pairings thus far for some of my favourite animes/games/cartoons:

Fairy Tail: Gray/Erza, Loke (Leo)/Aries, Lyon/Sherry

I have stories (maybe epics or just novel-type) lined up for these characters. They are interlinked though their love lives would be separate stories. Having the plot is the easy part; unfortunately, sorting out the plots and turning them into words is the hard part and I've haven't bothered to do that yet. It's only bits and pieces... =(
For Gray's and Erza's story, it's basically just branching off from the end of the S-Class Trial Arc while Loke/Aries start from episode 58 'The Battle of the Spirits' of the anime. They're both Alternate Realities. I have yet to decide for Lyon and Sherry.
For the moment, I only have the 'Prologue' done for both Gray/Erza and Loke (Leo)/Aries and maybe partway through the first chapter for both. I haven't the guts to post these yet, so PM me or leave a review in my 'Colours in Life' if you decide that you want to see how it starts but don't mind the long wait... xp A note of warning though, these stories might be rated M but I'll tone it down if you want...Just give me your thoughts on what you think.

For my 'Colours in Life' one-shot folder, inspiration is hard to come by...the ideas are there; however, I'm stuck half-way for the second story. But just to give you guys a sneak peek: It's the first installment of Team Natsu's holiday adventure series called 'Taking the Plane - Up to the Clouds'. Gajeel, Pantherlily, Wendy and Carla (since there are two different spellings: Charle and Carla, I'm going with which I like best...even if FF.Net goes for 'Charle' XD) will be in it too.

I have another AU version lined up, but let's not talk about that yet...

He-Man: Adam/Teela

This is a series of stories that start when Adam is nineteen. It's largely based on the 2002 TV series. :)
The first installment is called 'The Lost Princess' and is about the search for Eternia's beloved princess who was supposedly kidnapped by Hordak nearly nineteen years ago. But since Hordak has been locked up (according to the 2002 TV series), a different fate has befallen the princess.
The second story would be on Adam's and Teela's reconciliation and probably the start of their romance...*frowns and throws away draft* Haven't thought that far yet. -.-|||

Maple Story: Eckhart/Irena, Mikhail/Oz

Now this is the hard part since the ideas I have revolve around the Cygnus Knights. It's more about how the team came to be, the relationships they have with each other, their feud with the people in Edelstein, their decisions in the past that come back to haunt them, etc. I went to have a look at the fanfiction for Maple Story but most of what they have are just from the player's or monster's point of view. Please let me know if you've seen or read something to do with them. =)

Special A: Yahiro/Megumi

Okay, this one I've got it partway done. :D It's called 'The Seduction of an Heir' and is going to be a long one-shot. The title pretty much tells it all and is definitely rated M. It goes a few years into the future where Megumi's already achieved stardom. No much is mentioned of the other S.A., I'm afraid, though there are references to them.

Tales of Vesperia: Yuri/Judith

Since Yuri's been quoted to 'have no understanding of the female psychology', this particular romance is harder to portray though it'll touch on some Flynn/Sodia and Raven/Kaufman. The plot starts from where the game left off (including what was shown in the credits).

Phew! That's done. Most of the stories above are not even half-written. I know it's a lot of half-promising ideas, but I thought I'd see just how the reception is before I continue. Once again, give me your thoughts. I can take a little constructive criticism now and then, just don't overdo it. After all, writers need inspiration and motivation too... =)
