UPDATES:

8/17/10: Uploaded my first AC fanfic in four months lol. It's called Nightmare, based off of my favorite band's new single. :D

4/15/10: Today is Leonardo da Vinci's birthday! :D In his honor, I made a birthday present, and it's called Happy Birthday Leonardo! Go check it out plz :D

Also, I got a deviantART account, so if you wanna check it out, click on my homepage link.

3/29/10: OMG I am keep on getting amazed again and again on how much hits I receive for each of my stories! O_O More than 400 for What It's All Worth For, my most popular one so far, this month!

BTW I was thinking of putting links to my AC fanart on my profile. What do you guys think?

3/19/10: A story I've been working on for pretty much a month is now uploaded to , and it's called Vino di Mele. The first chapter is up. Please check it out! It's my longest story yet.

3/7/10: Another story is up, and this one is called A Reincarnated Memory.

I also changed my name from Neon POP to L'Artista Brilliante. I now know why I had my previous name changed in the first place - privacy reasons. -_-

3/3/10: What It's All Worth For is up. Go check it out! Also I just looked through my traffic again. I got almost 200 hits for each of my AC2 stories just in the last few days of February! This amazes me so much guys! I've never gotten to that number for all my stories combined until I uploaded a story in the AC section! I love you all~ -heart-

Also, I might post a little clip of my upcoming major story right on my profile :D If you guys want it posted, PM me!

2/26/10: I just happened to look through my traffic for my stories, and I got 79 hits for Of Apples and Assassins in just one day! O_O Wow, guys! Keep it up!

I just uploaded another story. This time it's like "29 Ways to Annoy the Eternal Sonata Cast" but it's for Assassin's Creed. But it has 34 ways, and not 29. :D

I might be starting a REAL story idea for Assassin's Creed. Not giving out any spoilers for now, but all I will mention that it involves Leonardo and the Apple. OvO

2/25/10: I've just uploaded a new story in practically almost eight months, but it's under Assassin's Creed this time. Check it out! It's called Of Apples and Assassins.

Also I'm changing my name back to Neon POP because I'm more accustomed with that name than Applaudissement Sonique, even after having that name for almost a year.

1/12/10: Umm, hi people.

Sorry I haven't been on here in about six months. School makes me busy. o_O Here's some good news for ya: I have now started getting interested in Assassin's Creed, and I am now currently beta-reading stories from there. Don't send me any stories that are set in the AC1 universe though, because I'm unfamiliar with the events yet I know the whole plot. AC2 stories are strongly recommended (coughespeciallycoughEziocoughxcoughLeonardocoughfanficsahem) Here's some bad news: I'm not really interested in making any fanfics anymore. D: I only want to be known as a beta reader now, so sorry if I disappointed you guys. However, I will still be beta-reading other stories that I'm signed up under. Don't be afraid to send me a PM anytime.
