3/5/05 - Ok... I'm sure by now anyone following my fic has noticed a lack of updates. This isn't me ditching the story, I just have had way too much homework recently. Plus, I think a lot of my chapters may need major rewrites... but anyway, I'm not sure when to tell you to look for an update. Just keep checking back!

12/16 - _; I'm such a slacker..I just started studying for my finals tonite.. and they're tomorrow. oh well, 8th grade finals aren't as bad as HS ones.

12/15 - Oh, just as a side note, I made a button for Sorceress Vanessa's site "Heaven" so go check that out if you have time! It's a S/S fan site.

12/13 - I got a site up on deviant art!

12/5 - _ I got my website up! not much on there at the moment but i also have a place for all my pics now. SO HAPPY!

12/4 - gah, so tired. Playing v-ball with 16 year olds will do that. Oh, for those of you who don't know, Jade Wyvern has a S/S fic up! only the first chappie but it's pretty interesting... (sweatdrop) in a good way.

12/3 - just letting you know, if you haven't yet, review! please!

11/25/04 -YES! NEW Chapter up!

11/11/04 - Hehe, Sorry. I just realized that due to the new look of the site, my profile was a jumbled mess. Thanx. Anyways, next chappie will be up in a week. Again, homework. It seems every time I finish a project, they assign a new one.

11/9/04 - GOOD NEWS! Although it's taken me forever to update, the next chapter should be up within a week or so. It's going to be LONG! So I'm not going to rush it like I said.I may have to break it into two chapters.. Anyways, It'll be up... Soon.

11/5/04 - Hehe. Still a little depressed over the election. Anyways, due to my evil EVIL EVIL EVIL history project, this will be yet delayed even further. Joys. It's a big chapter and i don't want to rush it. SORRY! T_T

11/3/04 - WHY BUSH? Freedom and Liberty are officially dead and gone. The Patriot Act will continue to ruin lives. The world will continue to hate us. Bush will keep repressing rights. Bush's friends will prosper. America will decline. Joy to the world.

10/20/04 - ok, sorry but the 5th chapter will have to be delayed a bit. I have (can you believe it?) another huge website history project, and i'm devoting most of my spare time to it. it's due Nov 9th, so i'm hoping to get Ch 5 in during that time, and afterwards, homework permitting, the chapters should start coming out a little sooner.

10/11/04 - WOOT! I finally have the fourth chapter up! YAY! the fifth chapter may be up in about 2-2 1/2 weeks, maybe sooner, it all depends. i'll post updates here.

9/30/04 - ok, y'all. I'm working on chapter four right now, it needed a serious overhaul. Hopefully, it'll be up within a couple of days. :crosses fingers: i'm not exactly sure. It depends on the homework we get. (school is EVIL!)

9/28/04 - I WILL GET THIS UP SOON! I feel so bad... SORRY! I have just been absolutely SWAMPED with homework lately. (I had two essays assigned yesterday that are due tomorrow. EVIL!) .. I WILL get this next chapter up soon. T_T

9/24/04 - SORRY! Its taken forever to get around to typing my 4th chappie. It's not posted yet, it may be a couple of days. I had a HUGE US History project last weekend that took up ALL of my time. I worked like, 25 hours on it in 4 days. T_T I will try to post VERY soon!

9/17/04 - Ok, I have the 3rd chappie up and THANK YOU to all my loyal reviewers. Anywayz, i'm afraid to say it may take a bit longer than normal to get this next chapter up - I have a website to design and make on the stupid middle colonies that's due this tuesday..i'm like, halfway done. so i won't be able to write anymore unless i sleep like, 5 hours a night. I have way too much homework. T_T...I hate homework. And I WILL get a poetry fic up...soon-ish. It really depends on my homework/sports/otherjunk schedule.. i'm almost spazzing out here, i have so much to do.. My motto: SO MUCH HOMEWORK, SO LITTLE TIME

9/11/04 - I've changed my mind on the next chapter...it may be up in a couple of days, not quite sure. I sat down and typed about 1/3 of it this morning, and I want to get a start on the 4th chapter before I post. So maybe 5 days or less. Anywayz, i would suggest checking out Jade Wyvern's fic, The Two Slaves - She updates like every two days so if you're getting bored by my laziness, check it out. byes!

9/9/04 - ok, second chapter up...i have no idea really when the next will be up .. sorry! SO SORRY! bad author... i am going to end up posting a poetry soon..i've been reading a bunch of random poetry stuffs now so im inspired...sort of. it will be sort of a narrative told by poem! hope it turns out somewhat good. ooh..speaking of poems, i just added two hearts entwined to my faves...it's really awesome. it's based on POTC but it's really really good. byes now_

OTHER SN'S:

FictionPress - Black-Lightniing

FAVE COUPLES:

Yugioh -

S/S - my fave. i don't really like either with anyone else... most of my fics will revolve around them. _
J/M - so cute. the whole battle city was basically a big J/M fest. hehe. I might work them into some of my stories.
YY/I - i like this couple, just because they seem to fit. (hoping to get one of these out soon)
T/R - my fave of the many Tea pairings. Ryou is so sweet. don't like yugi.
S/T - it's an ok pairing. i prefer s/s, but it's good to read if the storyline's plausible. i only go for those that sound very possible and realistic.

Fruits Basket

K/T - I love kyo! i think he and tohru would make a much better couple than T/Y. I don't dislike Yuki, i just think Kyo has more to offer...

SW

L/M - I just love this pairing. i mean, duh, they're married, but i still think this is one of the best couples in SW. (forget what i said about not liking obvious pairings... for this)
H/L - the classic couple, always source of much humor.
J/J - my fave couple of all. i just love them together...too bad that TUF didn't set them as a couple...of course, i didn't like TUF, so don't get me started... anyways, i'm always open to them. very good couple.
J/TK - i have mixed feelings on this. Mostly, me like. So sad tho...

LEAST FAVE COUPLES

Yugioh -

Y/T or YY/T - i'm sorry, it is one of the 'given pairings', and i'll read it, but it's definitely not my favorite. if it's a good story, like something borrowed, something blue, i'll read it, because it's not the main pairing.
T/S - 2 words. Hate Tristan.
D/S - Duke is sorta okay, but still, i prefer S/S. If it has a plausible base, i'll read it, as long as it's not the main pairing. (of course poor dukie always ends up as the pervert or scapegoat in S/S fics.
S/I - I'd need to read a good S/I fic. Right now I see no possible reason they'd hook up.
Anything Yaoi - i used to enjoy these, but now it is kind of annoying how many people are obsessed with yaoi.
Character/OC - I used to not like these (because so many were ending up Mary Sue's...) but I have found some awesome ones (espec. by DaRkNeSsApPrOaChEs). Haven't found a good Seto/OC yet.

SW-

J/Z - Used to like it, now in love with jag.. Plus Zekk is just weird.
D/J - don't like Danni. Used to like her... no more.

SONGS: Faves: -

Bring me to life, My last breath, Broken - Evanescence
- Angel, Borrowed Heaven - The Coors
- She will be loved - Maroon 5
- Away from the sun, here without you - 3 doors down
- We were meant to live, Dare you to move - switchfoot
