A Note from Nate - July 30, 2014

Let me be clear on my writing: I have no schedule, I don't get paid, therefore it is unfortunately not my job. This also means it is no longer my number one priority. I write as inspiration comes to me, and I can't predict when or how long it will last. I do not like to abandon stories, and technically I could always go back and dust off something that's years old. It isn't too likely, however. I also generally do not allow others to work with my stories, but feel free to ask, you may catch me in a good mood, or I may be particularly open-minded depending on the story. Odds are if I haven't updated a story in years, and especially if I haven't produced anything for the fandom in question in years, what you see is all you're going to get from me. I agree it sucks, and hey, I've had it happen with some of my favorite authors, but I manage to deal. If you can't, maybe you shouldn't be reading fanfiction, or at least not mine. Trust me, if I could produce new chapters on demand, I would have bottled that talent and made millions selling it. I will, however, admit that some stories have gotten updated or finished just because someone gave me a poke. Not a complaint filled with insults or cursing, but a poke, people. So if you have a favorite story that you care about, by all means let me know.

EXCEPT for Taming of Trunks. I know you guys love it, and so do I, but no more DBZ. Let's just move on, please...

(You could e-mail me, but you're far more likely to get a response by sending me a PM instead. So don't blame me if your message gets lost in the void that is my inbox. You've been warned.)

May 29, 2012: "Beyond the Screen" has been removed because of its chatroom content. You can still find it at for the time being.
