So.

Thanks so, so much for poking your head in to check on me. You can also find me on Tumblr and on Twitter if you're interested in my reblogs and ramblings, or would like to ask me when the hell I'm going to finally update Leadbelly or Still Life. So's you know - at the time of writing this, I'm about a quarter of the way into the next chapter of Still Life! YAY(?)! Things are happening (at a glacial pace) and wheels are turning (slowly). :)

I started writing and posting fanfiction on here in 2002. For the longest time I've been writing a Cowboy Bebop fanfiction called She Wanted to Die, which eventually became Leadbelly. For those of you wondering if I've completely dropped it (it's been literally been years since I've updated it), I haven't. Promise. Life started squeezing in on my writing time. I also lost inspiration for a while, which I guess happens when you've been working on the same story for years. but it's been coming back word by word. So, yes - I've still got plans to finish Leadbelly. And Still Life, for that matter. Really and truly. :)

I have both Bipolar Disorder and Attention Deficit Disorder, so the creativity and focus it takes to write sort of comes and goes in waves -- I write when I'm manic and listen to sad-bastard music when I'm not.

Fairly recently I ventured outside of the Cowboy Bebop fandom with an Ouran High School Host Club story called Still Life. I'm also in the midst of writing a Frozen fanfic called Spun, which is way out there for me - I've never written anything with fantasy elements. Still a lot of emotional bleeding in both of those, but far less actual bleeding. We shall see, right?

Oh...and the "serfer" in my handle is not spelled incorrectly. I get that a lot.

Lots of love,
