As noted in my last fanfic, "The Thimble Ninja:" I think this marks my farewell to fanfiction. I'm graduating from law school dangerously soon (seriously), so it's high time I put away the thimbles and fairies and silly puppy-love romances. Or at least high time I stopped writing about them, given that I have the plot of an actual novel bubbling in my brain. Hum, hum.

It has been a delight to write for you and to read your lovely stories. I will continue popping by from time to time, particularly to read other stories, but also to see if anyone's left a review (hint, hint). Because my hopefully-to-be-written novel is intended for teenagers and young adults, I'd like to know what you like and don't like about my writing style. For example, I intentionally splatter the page with sentence fragments because I think that's the way many people think and talk, but maybe you find this distracting and annoying. If so, please tell me.

Your humble servant,

TQ

P.S. I'm keeping my original profile (below) because I consider this account a little time-capsule. If nothing else, it proves that I refuse to grow up!

I don't really write any more. The last thing I've added - Weak - I wrote about a year ago. Or more, maybe...

I'm not really planning on finishing Fight for Me. I'm not fond of the writing style any more. Damn it, it reads like a soap! But I'm leaving it up because people liked it and I'm a sucker for that. You want to know the end? It's a big secret...they fall in love! Oh, I had some other things in mind, of course...like how Vegeta was the son of a HUGE mafia boss from New York, but moved to Chicago when the entire gang was killed off by a foreigner, Frieza...well, the "entire gang" except for Vegeta and Goku (who has amnesia). So Friesa comes looking for Vegeta, and there's a giant, gory mafia war, and Yamcha gains a little dignity here, 'cause dang it, he's just not a good basically a lot of the plot of DBZ, only reincarnated as a mobster fic...but Bulma gets her hands dirty, and of course ChiChi pulls some stunts of her own. The biggest problem with DBZ is that the women are always portrayed as whining bi-otches. And they aren't. They're smart and they're tough, and that's the main thing I wanted to point out in this fic, but it all got lost in the "ivory silk" and "flashing black eyes" and "flame-like hair."

I love the hanyou because Inuyasha IS Vegeta, only sweeter (and with puppyears! PUPPY EARS!!!). I love the show Inuyasha because it has so many awesome girls. Come on - Kagome? Sango? They're powerful as heck, they're on an even level with the guys, and they don't break down into tears when they break a nail.
