Author has written 8 stories for La Corda D'Oro.

Hey all :) you can call me Leigh. I like Gundams, Naruto (even if I don’t really follow the series, it’s still fun to watch) and music anime/manga. I’m all for a Gundam musical with flying intergalactic ninjas. If the anime world brings us something like that...I’m predisposed to become a fan. :p

Dedications:

Memento

For aya-kun, because, like she said, La Corda is love and Len and Kaho need more love. And because...

Leigh: I have a fic that’s incubating...

Aya: Ooh. Write it when you can. Nurture that baby and let it hatch nicely.

Shoutout: To everyone who reviewed and favorite (-ed) Falling Slowly, thanks so much :) First fic, so, y'know, positive feedback made me happy :)

(doesn't mean though that the opposite would make me unhappy; I know how to take criticism)

“Memento” isn't a sequel...but I also want to dedicate it to you :) I hope you like it.

Falling Slowly

For aya-kun, who introduced me to La Corda.

Officially retiring! I don't know how else to say it :) Writing is generally hard, but it's been fun. Just a few things I wanted to say...I thought I overdid "Memento" with the strings part. Yes, this is actually something I wanted to admit, but I am not going to edit or remove that fic. I am leaving the other stories alone...but I would just like to say that I am happy with the last one, "Wishful Thinking".

If you guys haven't seen it- go check out "La Corda d'Oro - Multi Ending - Len Tsukimori & Kahoko Hino" on Youtube. There are no subtitles, but it's a real treat.

:) Len and Kaho forever

Down Another Rabbit Hole

Not really going out of retirement. (Can't call it retirement if I'm updating, right? 19 Oct) Just following through on another idea so I can see the beginning, middle, and end. This is what happens when you buy volumes of your favorite manga and start reminiscing.

This story is for me. It's inspired by the La Corda manga, particularly chapter 74 and mentions some of the music from the anime as well as some new pieces. It's also inspired by one of my favorite illustrations of Len (the spread for Chapter 37; see the story icon), and a fondness for the idea of time travel.

The end of DARH, plus epilogue posted. It's great to finish. So, this is it for me too. Here's my customary quote for "the end":

"There are too many mediocre things in life. Love shouldn't be one of them." from the movie: Dream for an Insomniac


9 NOVEMBER 2016

A new story is what comes out of one's vacation. I've been inactive for a long time, so I wonder if anyone will read and review. Hmm...I really do wonder. Anyway, "Ten Things" seems like a work in progress...at least while I'm on vacation. This story might go through the shredder if it doesn't work out the way I want, but I'm still not sure. Let's see where this goes...

11 NOVEMBER 2016

I have deleted "Ten Things"...since I won't be able to make it into the story I want within the time frame I imagined.

"Why are you sad?"..."Because you speak to me in words and I look at you with feelings." -from the movie Pierrot Le Fou


18 MARCH 2019

I remember that when I started writing fanfiction, I didn't reply to reviews. I wish I had. I don't know why I didn't and I'm not sure it was only my shyness that was stopping me. (At first, it was because I didn't realize I could. I missed that icon at the upper right. But my ignorance didn't last long,so...that's no excuse).

Anyway, I'm not sure if I will still receive reviews, but I will make it a point to reply from now on.

(I will always go back to this quote: "Yesterday is ashes; tomorrow wood. Only today does the fire burn brightly." - Eskimo proverb-)
