What I write about: Well, truth be told, I don't really write that much anymore. I do occasionally get the drabble bug, and want to pen something, but I'm far from an "author" anymore. Real life took over--and now I'm able to live in the country most of my fandoms come from, and let me tell you it's so much more fulfilling now! I'm an English teacher, and my kids are amazing (if a little annoying at times!), and being surrounded by everything I loved before now is just...wow, yeah! But if you've stumbled across this profile through one way or another, I'll go ahead and give a little run down--my stories are not generally happy ones, because...I dunno, happy's kinda boring at times (not all the time, of course :D). I like the challenge that comes with breaking a character down and building them back up, so you'll definitely see a lot of that here.

I'm an avid slasher (and a Real-Person-Slasher, to boot!), but I have my share of het couples I will fight to the death to support as well For a rundown (because lists are fun) of what you'll find here...

Couples I support (and write about):
—D.N.Angel: I actually support pretty much any and every couple you can think of in this fandom (though I'm not a terribly big Dark/Krad fan). Satoshi/Daisuke, Dark/Daisuke, Krad/Satoshi, Daisuke/Riku, Satoshi/Risa...sigh They're all so wonderful...
—Dragonball Z: Gohan and Videl
—Kyou Kara Maou: Yuuri/Wolfram
—Slayers: Lina and Zelgadis
—Spirited Away: Chihiro and Haku
I may support other couples, but I just don't write about them, so they're not included in this section; conversely, I may write about a coupling but not hold a particularly strong affinity to it (i.e. Satoshi/Risa in "Breach of Fate"—I like it, but it's not my OTP)

Couples I support (but don't write about...yet. PH34R T3H POTENTIALITY!):
—Harry Potter: Harry/Draco
—Loveless: Soubi/Ritsuka
—Gankutsuou: Franz/Albert (Who knew Dumas' work would come to THIS?)
—Prince of Tennis: Oishi/Kikumaru (Mmm...Golden Pair...), Tezuka/Fuji, Ohtori/Shishido, Oshitari/Gakuto, Ryoga/Ryoma, Kevin/Ryoma (or hell, Ryoga/Kevin/Ryoma :D)
—TeniMyu (Musical Prince of Tennis): Tsuchiya "Tuti" Yuuichi/Nagayama "Nagayan" Takashi, Moriyama Eiji/Sano Daiki, Saitou Takumi/Aoyagi Ruito
—Yami no Matsuei: Tsuzuki/Hisoka
—Hikaru no Go: Hikaru/Akira

WORKS-IN-PROGRESS

—Galatea: Remix—
Comments: Probably the only one I'm actually still working on (as of October 2007), this is the "sequal" to Galatea. Primarily Krad/Satoshi, there are moments of one-sided Dark/Daisuke as well, so I recommend this for anyone who's a fan of curse/host relationships. Reading Galatea is pretty much required to really get this story, as while it starts in canon, it quickly veers A/U.

The Galatea livejournal community where I'll be posting chapters that rate too high to be posted here is up! Come visit, drown yourself in spoilers and freebie snippets, and get to know other readers!

—Breach of Fate—
Comments: For those DNAngel fans among us, we all know the story of Niwa Daisuke, and we all know the fateful events of the final episode of the anime, determining the fates of those beautiful bishes Dark and Krad. But...what happened after that? Explore their world twenty years after the sealing through the eyes of Niwa Daiichi, son of Niwa Daisuke and Harada Riku, as introduced in episode 13. Follow him as he tried to juggle school, a crush on a Hikari daughter, and a phantom thief that should have been sealed twenty years ago...FINALLY SIX CHAPTERS AND GOING STRONG! Yes, that Frigging Long Flashback(c) is over at last, and we can get back to the Dark and Daiichi goodness you've all been waiting for. Actual plot, HERE WE COME!

—Parable of the Eagle—
Uploaded under the joint account with Psycho Ann, "Angst and Cliffhangers." This is an A/U Gh/Vi fic that's just getting started and promises great things. Saiyan Videl as you've never seen her before—check it out. IN PRODUCTION—no matter what you think, it IS still in production, just half of our team has been MIA for the pastyear or so, so we're getting back on it ASAP!

—It's A Start—
Comments: Your not-so-standard Gohan/Videl fic; has blossomed into so much more than I ever dreamed it would be wipes away a tear you guys are the greatest ;D! Currently at fourteen chapters long with no sign of stopping any time soon (well, actually, it's gonna end soon, I lied); my longest work to date. Next Update: Chapter 15, look for it SOON! This thing is almost over, and I still have more angst to pile in this last chapter! IN PRODUCTION

—You Can Never Go Back—
Comments: (Mirai Gohan/Videl) The mirai line is such fun to play with, especially when "play" entails angst. Gohan must cope with moving on in a world without his father and closest friends. He, Trunks, and Vegeta are all that remain of Earth's Special Forces—and he's convinced they're not enough. What's his solution? Enlist humans in the fight! Chapter 4, due out soon—geez, I have so many things to work on...IN PRODUCTION

—Back Through the Looking Glass—
Comments: EVENTUAL Chihiro/Haku. Well, I nearly threw up after reading all the "seven years later" fics flooding the Spirited Away section, so I decided to try my own hand at a "non-cliched" fic. This is the result (or beginning of an eventual result). Follows Chihiro through the few weeks following her adventure, her longing to return and escape from reality, and a new friend she meets along the way. But when she returns, will it be like before? Of course not...FINISHED? HA!

—The Long Road Home—
FORMERLY: Kaette Itadakitai: Come Back, I Beg of You
Comments: (Lina/Zelgadis) Semi-angsty fic that is coming along slowly yet surely. Next update: Argh, don't ask me that...I just got chapter three out...FAR FROM FINISHED.

FINISHED PROJECTS (One shots and multi-parts)

—Mother of the Bride—
Comments: Just a sweet little one-shot. After watching episode 59, I was thrilled that Yuuri's mom finally knew about her son's unusual choice in fiance, but was disappointed we never got to actually see Wolfram telling her he was engaged to her son. So this popped out, fluff-n-stuff to satisfy anyone who was wanting to know how that scene might have gone. Ah, I love Jennifer so much, she's such a head case!

—Galatea—
Comments: My BABY. My epic, longass, angsty BABY. Eighteen chapters of love, hate, crying, laughing, and boysmut! Well, maybe not so much smut, since I plan on keeping it R at the most (for now, ehehe...you just wait til...later). My response to a challenge issued nearly a year ago and my first foray into yaoi. Most Krad/Satoshi fics (if not all) center on Krad being his usual evil perverted self and pretty much just molesting Sato for his own pleasure; it was up to me to write a feasible fic about a relationship between them, and that's what Galatea is: The first epic NotAMolester!Krad/Sato fic out there (erm, to my knowledge...)! With Daisuke and Riku an official pair, Satoshi has no Niwa to occupy his thoughts with. Depressed and angsty, as per usual, he finds refuge in the most unlikely of places. Quite long, and quite FINISHED. Enjoy!

—Dark Shift—
Comments: (Gohan/Videl) You know how I mentioned earlier I had this little angst fetish? Well, this is what I meant. Five chapters of pure, undiluted sadness. FINISHED.

—Another Dumb Blonde—
Comments: Waffy little one-shot. Psycho Ann made me do it, with her excessive adorable-ness in her fics...makes me sick, I need to write something sad, now. FINISHED.

—The Reason Why—
Comments: Gohan/Videl, a companion fic for "Dark Shift." The reactions of a certain Satan girl to the untimely death of one Son Gohan. MAJOR ANGST ALERT. FINISHED

—The Strongest in the Universe—
Comments: Oh dear, more angst... Just another one of those one-shots I seem so fond of pumping out. Mirai Goku's POV of his last moments alive before he succombed to the heart virus. Now come on, how could that NOT be angsty? GET A TISSUE AND READ! FINISHED

—No Matter What You Say—
Comments: (Lina/Zelgadis) Angsty Slayers one-shot featuring a late-night confession from one to the other. The response is certainly an unexpected one. FINISHED

FUTURE PROJECTS

Hey, don't glare at me like that, I'll finish my stories, don't worry! Only one or two major fics on the horizon, really, until I get bit by fic bunnies again.

—Slayers—

"Untitled as of yet"
Comments: Not sure when it'll be set (most likely second season-esque), but the storyline will stretch back through the first season before the fight with the original Rezo. As part of his deal with the Mazoku for their services, Rezo is coerced into handing over his grandson to their ranks. The boy is inducted into their society, losing virtually all his humanity. So what happens when his mentor Xellos drags him along on a mission to "watch over" a certain red-headed sorceress?

—Hikaru no Go—

"Untitled as of Yet"
Comments: As of finishing Galatea, this has moved up to my next new project. This will be my first HnG fic, though it may be a while before I get to it, I have way too many WIP on my plate. What if Touya Kouyo hadn't survived his heart attack, but had died from it, thus making it impossible for Sai to show Hikaru their game? A/U in which Sai continues living in Hikaru's consciousness; he won't be sho-dan for long, that's for sure, and will Akira EVER find out just what the connection between Shindou and Sai is?
