Ohayo! Suki Yume here, as you've probably figured. ^_^

~*~*~A bit about me ~*~*~

I'm just your average teenage girl with a love for writing ... anything that's non-school related, that is! *blushes* Great for updates, bad for grades T_T I can be a bit of a hopeless romantic and a bit of a dreamer! I tend to focus on what could be rather than what really is ...

It took a lot of motivation before I finally decided to give it a go and post my first story, and I was very surprised and extremely happy that it was received so well! So, I want to thank everyone who has ever read my stories and to everyone who has given me such wonderful feedback, because it is truly thanks to you guys that I'm where I am now. I know I still have a long way to go before mastering the arts of fanfiction, but I'm willing to try, and willing to learn. So in the meantime, please forgive any horrific crimes commited against fanfiction (which are doubtlessly many! Gomen ne!)

I used to acknowledge reviews in the following chapter of a story (unless it's a one-shot or it's already completed) but it's becoming a bit of a personal habit to reply in a personal message to all my reviews now ... so I hope you don't mind getting random messages from me! And the people who I didn't reply to in a personal message before ... I hope you don't think your reviews were any less valued! Every single review means a lot to me and so I'm going to start replying to everyone. ^^

~*~*~ A bit about my stories ~*~*~

My first story, Vacancy, has now been completed. I want to thank everyone who has ever read and reviewed this story and who has seen this story through to this conclusion. Every review touches me deeply, and while writing brings me pleasure, knowing that there are people out there who care and who enjoy my stories perhaps as much as I do writing them, makes it all the better and this fact motivates me greatly. ^_^

Dark Chocolate is a Valentine's Day one-shot about Shiki and Rima. It can be read on its own, or if you've read Vacancy, it would come before the beginning of Vacancy. There are little references made to things that happened in Dark Chocolate in Vacancy but it makes total sense on its own. (I think!) ^^

And now onto my third story (Look Into My Eyes) ... I'm very very happy that I've been getting such lovely feedback so far! Every review never fails to put a big smile on my face and it doesn't matter whether its a review of two words or a whole paragraph, I want to thank EVERYONE who's ever given me feedback. Love you all. *huggles*

I've been focussing on the Vampire Knight pairing, Shiki and Rima so far, and I think I will continue to write some more stories based on this pairing, because they are just too cute! X3 But soon, I think I will also progress to other animes/mangas as well. If anyone has read any of my stories and would like to make a request, I will be very happy to see what I can do with your ideas!

Well, I think I've rambled enough, and maybe it's time I left you in peace. Thank you all so much for your support!

Much love, Suki Yume. x
