I am leaving the world of fanfiction to its own devices.

Someday perhaps I'll find it within myself to come back and contribute more, but now is not the time or place.

I hope you all enjoyed my stories, I enjoyed writing them, and thank you for all the reviews.

My old profile is below so you can gaze upon it whenever you like.

I will leave my stories up for old times' sake, and my newer writing can always be found elsewhere (see the latest edit in the profile below).

Apologies for all the incomplete stories.

Farewell...

Hello all. Welcome to the closet hobby of a typical grunge-obsessed Seattleite with a penchant for dark and depressing stories, and an undying love for good ol' smut. I secretly consider myself a writer and a musician, if only those were true in places other than my dreams. In those same dreams I am having an affair with Johnny Depp and all of his movies, especially Chocolat. I also foster an unhealthy obsession with chocolate and Beirut--the band, not the city. I hope you enjoy my writing, and feel free to review; I enjoy them.

You can also find me at the following places:

http://www.twitter.com/nomonyourmom - My...twitter, even though I swore to myself I wouldn't ever get one. Clearly, I'm not very good at keeping promises.

Where you should look for update news - cast your gaze downwards a little:

My Stories:

Coming Soon:
1. 4th chapter of Double or Nothing is written, needs to be edited.
2. A possible slash fic. My first male slash. Possibly.

Chaptered Fics still in the making:
1. Double or Nothing - 4th chapter written, will be posted soon, after editing.
2. The Second War - ON HIATUS - quickly losing inspiration and patience with this.
3. Without You - ON HIATUS - don't know where to go with this.
4. Worthless - ON HIATUS - for quite a while. Possibly permanent.

Completed Chaptered Stories:
1. Sin - my first and ONLY (on this site) completed chaptered fic, so enjoy...

7/19/09 EDIT: POST FAIL. So I haven't posted anything. This is possibly because as soon as school ended I was shipped off to India, and am currently still there. BUT, the good news is that I have written the next TWO chapters of Double or Nothing. That's right, read that again. Not one, but TWO. They are also handwritten, which makes them even more cool/legit. I'll post them when I have computer access long enough to type them up. Also, my story "Supernova" has been nominated for the Hourglass Awards on Unknowable Room. I haven't actually checked out the awards yet, but if it's a voting type thing, then please go vote for me. And read my story. Because you love me.

9/02/09 EDIT: Posting Spree! Posted a new oneshot and (FINALLY) the next chapter of D or N. It's like, flashback central, which was unintentional, but whatever. Hope you like it. Go read now. And review please!

10/20/09 EDIT: I know it's been a really long time. I think I'll be taking a break from fanfiction, possibly for a while, possibly forever. It almost feels like I've grown out of it, if you know what I mean. Not in terms of age, but in terms of interest. It's hard to care about other (imaginary) worlds enough to write about them, when your own world is such a mess. I apologize to all my existent or imaginary readers, it's just not the time for fanfiction now. I'll leave my older works up for you (and me) to fondly look back on, and I continue to update my blog and fictionpress page, as well as my twitter, with original works on a fairly regular basis, so if you want to read my writing, those would be the places to look. Farewell for now, it was nice being here...
