Surprising as it may be, yes -- I am still alive. Astonishingly enough, I will be finishing my stories, though I will have to give up one of them for lack of motivation. However, when will I finish what I started? That is the question, it seems. I have to recover some files from my old computer, which had to retire, after a few years of faithful service. Like people, we can never prepare for the demise of something so constant, huh?

In the meantime, feel free to read (or re-read) my one-shots. However, I am compelled to warn you that I cringe at my writing skills then, and only hope that they have improved since 2007. I have mildly edited A Simple Mission and Nakushita Kotoba, though as I have mentioned in both stories, I did not alter the contents entirely (no matter how much I yearn to do so). Despite the fact that the writing was very lacking and cringe-worthy, I understand that you all have learned to turn a blind eye to the many faults and flaws, and accepted them for what they are. Therefore, to return the favor, I decided to clean things up a bit, without taking away from the original version.

About Me:

Well, that heading was certainly vague. Obviously, there were several reasons why I had to take a (pretty long) break from writing fanfiction. Suffice to say, I can group all these reasons under two words: real life. Instead of going in depth with regards to my absence, I think that we would all prefer my time and efforts going into my stories. Therefore, I will try to do so once again.

With that said, feel free to leave me a private message, or even drop a review in one of my stories. While I will not be so childish as to say that reviews will make me update faster, I can assure you a hundred times over that they never fail to make me smile.
