Yeesh, I never update this thing, do I?

Hello people! Advanced warning to you all:I am generally not a people person. I will be courteous but if you are not, I won't be. There, I've been fair, live with it.

Current Works:

Demons in England: Yeah, it's originally Foxes, Dragons, and the Sorcerer's Stone? but decided they were going to delete it, so here I am again, reposting it with hopefully the corrections that will allow it to stay where it is. It's being revised as I go, enjoy the changes, there will be many after about chapter 1 or 2. Will update as frequently as work, school, a book in progress of being edited, soccer, piano lessons/practicing, and religious activities will allow. If I'm being slow about it, kick my butt and I'll get moving.

The Ten Most Wanted: On hold. I'm playing with a few new ideas and struggling with writer's block. No worries, I will update it, if I feel like it (nudge, nudge, hint, hint, I feel like working on things more if I get reviews). No idea when the next chap will be up.

The Thief: Playing with ideas. May get updated at some point. Depending on how things go.

Acrobats, Tensais, and Captains: Latest idea and just kind of a play around fic. It's been helping me with my writer's block. Hopefully it will continue to work. I have a lot typed but I'm probably going to take my time.

The Musician: My current work that is actually moving. I'm not sure where the story is going, but I might as well let it flow. Never force characters into doing something they don't want to, that's what I say.

That's about all I'm really working on right now. No, there aren't any new fics sitting in my 5+ binders/notebooks. I'm lazy, I know it.
