OK, so a quick Author's Note/profile update: I have to say that things have finally become absolutely RIDICULOUS concerning "Hum." I have a ton of people emailing me who are very supportive of the story, a ton of requests to continue, and a traffic profile that makes absolutely no sense based on the number of reviews. Sooooo...here's the answer to some of the questions and a compromise:

1. No, I don't have any other Vin/Riddick stories. Loves him, but Hum is the only one. I've been toying with a story in my head for awhile with a character based off of Vin/Riddick, but I would have to post it on FictionPress, since it is mostly original. It's hard for me to think of anything AU with Riddick in it because he was so well suited for the Pitch Black world, and I can't see him with any of the women in Pitch Black or CoR (him with Jack/Kyra just makes me think that he's sleeping with his really underage sister).

2. Yes, I want to finish Hum because I love the story. Yes, I'm disappointed with the reviews, but I began writing it because I saw this story in my head. The reason that I haven't finished has to do with time and stress from other things--I simply haven't been able to finish. I post it because I, like all other authors, like reading the reviews I get. I don't post when I don't get reviews. Pretty simple. But as I said in my AN on Hum, I will personally email an alert or the chappie to everyone who has reviewed that story when I finally do finish it and I'm ready for others to read it.

I'm really trying to think of a good way to continue Hum and explain what happens to Kaeion and Riddick in between and after CoR without getting too much into the "Underverse" and all. I'm more interested in whether Riddick can fall in love along with the lust (I don't think he knows), and how he would manage that given his naturally ultra-aggressive tendencies with an equally ultra-aggressive mate. That's giving me a bit more pause in terms of how far to go and what to do with the characters.

So here's the compromise:

One-shots are a lot easier to write, since it's just about the setup of that scene and some back story, so...if you have a request, give it to me. I might actually be able to cook something up. I will accept just about everything (except Jack/Kyra, of course), and it does not have to be confined to Riddick/Pitch Black. If there are other stories with other characters you'd like to write, I'll do it as long as I'm familiar with the overall story. Right now this will include:

- Pitch Black/Cor - Bleach - Naruto - Inuyasha - Dragonball Z, GT, Kai (whatever)
- Devil May Cry - Tokyo Majin - Blade of the Immortal - Samurai Champloo - Ranma (though I'm a little rusty)
- Star Trek (2009 version only)
- Claymore - FullMetalAlchemist - Hellsing - AfroSamurai - Basilisk (just starting)
- Avatar

I'll consider other tv shows/movies/cartoons not included in this list if I can watch it and get familiar with it. And please keep in mid--none of my stories are good for the kiddies, so I probably won't write anything without a lemon. Or an orange. Or any kind of citrusy orchard fruit. And I have no boundaries in my stories (obviously), so feel free to let those plot bunnies roll.

Thanks to APearle, Obsid, and all of the others who have contacted me for giving me this idea and marvelous support. I'd love to see what you and others come up with for me to write!
