6/4/11: Hahahaha... ahhh... Not coming back. Please don't read my stuff, spare your eyesight. If you're to read anything, read the stuff published past 2007--it's slightly less horrible.

12/15/10: Welp. Well over a year after I promised any sort of return. Unlikely I will return and publish something, but maybe I could whip something up. Eventually.

10/11/09: Wow. The 11th of October. A year later after I basically promised some updates... Yes. Yes, I am a bum. A horrible, horrible bum. And a slacker. But I've been receiving a lot of review lately, for my old stories, and it's really, really embarrassing. I wrote most of that stuff in 6th, and 7th grade. Dudes, I'm in 10th grade now. Not only had my writing improved, I'm not nearly as stupid. True facts.

Also, for anyone who is wondering where I might be, you can find me at the following websites (just remove the spaces):

Thanks for all of those who have sent in reviews. I'd like to send a special shout-out to True Colors, who gave me some incentive/motivation to come back here. C:

9/7/08: Alrighty, three months and no updates. I'm a lazy bum, alright. (And I just started my freshman year of high school!) Anyway, I just noticed this awesome new little 'reader traffic' button. MOST AWESOME BUTTON EVER. Not even kidding. Go check it out if you've written any stories. NOW. It tells you how many hits your stories get on certain days, and where the readers come from. In the past three months I've had readers from: the USA, the UK, Australia, Belgium, the Dominican Republic, Canada, Mexico, Ireland, Finland, Denmark (hey, ancestors!), Bangladesh, Singapore, Brazil, Puerto Rico, Nigeria, France, Slovenia, the Netherlands, Lithuania, South Korea, and Sweden. How's that to blow your mind? (See the post below for excuses why I still haven't updated.)

6/27/08: Hey, all! Have you been wondering where the heck M-S is, and why she isn't publishing and god danged stories, or updating at all? Well, I've got the answer for you: theOtaku dot com. Yeah, yeah, lame excuse. But that place is addicting, I tell you. 'Specially with the new Version Vibrant up. If you ever feel the urge to go over there, make sure to check my stuff out. My account name is mewmewpudding (go to: http:// mewmewpudding. theotaku .com). But don't worry, I'm working on several writing pieces, and will hopefully update within the next few weeks. Don't worry, fellow writers/readers, I shall return! ...eventually. -shot down-

Completed Stories:

Trying is Futile (TMM): Lettuce was trying not to break anything. Ryou was trying to hide. And then there was that blasted piece of branch... L&R Christmas Fic.

Christmas Shoes (TMM): Fate intertwines the lives of many people. Pudding and Keiichero soon learn this. Christmas Fic. Pudding and Keiichiro Friendship.

A SEQUEL SERIES- 50 Ways to Get Zakuro to Rip Your Heard Off (TMM) and 50 Ways to Get Ryou to Rip Your Head Off (TMM): What does the title say? Now what do you think the story is about?

Little Miss Sunshine (TMM): She was bright: always wearing yellow or orange and always cheerful. The name fit her perfectly, Taruto gave Kisshu that. And even in the very early, freezing morning, she was happy-go-lucky. Taruto learned that first hand. PXT

The Ten Commandments for FanFiction Writers (TMM): The Lord took a handful of clay from all corners of the Earth and created a figure and imbued it with imagination and skill and knowledge of html code. And the Lord called this figure “Fanfiction author.”

Stories to come(?):

Learning to Swim (TMM): Ryou teaches Lettuce to swim (Beter summary to come...) RXL

A Swiftly Tilting Planet (TMM): Her life had never been going down a good path. Then one day, it's shot (and blackmailed) in a completely new direction. Is it for better or for worse?

The Kiss Cam (TMM): It was a normal hockey game. For Japan at least. Right up until the moment when the camera focused on the two bickering teens. RXI

The Kiss Cam (Max Ride): I should have never given into the rest of the flock. Never. But here we are. In the middle of a stadium full of crazed hockey fans. God, I'll kill Fang for this. (MXF Faxness all the way.)

Nineteen More (KKJ): It all started with a simple little note and a coupon left in her mailbox... (MaronxChiaki/JeannexSinbad)

Nightmare (TMM): He'd hoped this day would never, ever, ever come. And when he saw each of the colors of the rainbow lying on the ground, his heart went cold. It wasn't until he saw one broken figure, though, that his heart broke into pieces, and his mind went blank. (Ryou POV, implied mystery couple)

Fever (Gakuen Alice): Natsume glared down at the pig-tailed girl in the bed. She gasped for air, her face red and damp with sweat. Feeling a slight pang of guilt (ever so small of a pang, he was Natusme Hyuuga, after all), he reached out and lightly touched the girl's forehead. Startled, he jerked his hand back and swore. Her forehead was flaming hot; had he accidently just used his Alice on her? (NatsumexMikan)

That Smile (Gakuen Alice): It was her smile that bugged him the most. She was always smiling, smiling, smiling. But when she wasn't, why did that bug him even more? (Chapter 94/95 spoilers. NatsumexMikan)

Valentine's Confusion (TITLE TO BE REVAMPED; TMM): Under the influence of living in American too long, Shirogane Ryou didn't seem to understand why the girls were giving him such strange looks when he tried to give them candy on Valentine's Day. Lettuce leaps in to save the day for our confused little friend. (LettucexRyou)

New! Rumors, Lies and Secrets (TMM): Just because all the small-fry Chimera Animal are gone from Japan, and the aliens have declared peace on Earth, doesn't mean their troubles are over. Suddenly, calls globally start flowing in for the Mew Mews, ranging from police investigations in Tokyo to reeling in some legendary monsters in Scotland, the US, Nepal, and Mexico. Oh yeah, and that alien trio? Who ever said they'd stay away? (PxT, OTHER COUPLES TO BE DETERMINED BY READERS' VOTES)

New! Contacts (TMM): Perfection. Beautiful, perfect vision, strong... Everything she wanted, but only when she transformed. Deciding to take a step in her vision of 'perfection', she learns a little about what the others think about their own ideas of the word. (LettucexRyou)

Whee! Wow you made it to the bottom of my profile. Great for you! This means you either read all the way down, or are just randomly skipping down the page. Kudos to you, either way. Look below for my stories. Toodles!

Typist's Note: Hey it's xStickyxNotex! Sup? I'll tell you what sup with me. My arm is numb because I just wrote all of Mew-Sahara's profile in one sitting because she couldn't get it to work. Rewarding work, right? Heh, yeah totally. So anyway, this is my prize. I get a note at the bottom of M-S's profile until it works again. Then she's free to delete it. Later~ Enjoy the awesome stories!

Author's Note: Ahaha, I'm not gonna get rid of it. I'm too nice. C;
