April 18, 2016 - As mentioned before, I have nothing but the whole-hearted intention to finish Not.

Hello there. LilPurplFlwr here.

I tragically lost my mother late 2015. It was a terrible year, and I struggled with basic functioning after losing someone so important to me. Even today, I fight between everyday productivity and suffocating sadness.

But what's this profile edit all about? I am returning to writing (although I can't guarantee the same level of pre-2015 levity and focus).

I am very grateful to my readers and reviewers. My dissociation for the past several months meant that I just reread your messages with a stranger's eye. I can't believe "Not" has so much love and support behind it. Much love to you all for your encouragement and patience.

April 5, 2020 - Oh, my. What unprecedented times we are living in. I hope you all are staying safe and healthy.

It seems like every two years I find myself at crossroads. I continue to be overworked and sleep-deprived because I cannot live a well-balanced life with The Job, and writing falls to the wayside.

I would like to change that. Thank you for visiting, reading, and messaging.

Author Biography

Hello everyone. Thank you for reading and visiting my page. Please feel free to contact me through reviewing or PMing. I love getting to know my fellow writers and readers. If you have a request, I will fill it if I think I can do it justice.

I have been writing fan-fiction since I was 14, starting in the fandom of Fushigi Yuugi (Amiboshi/Suboshi in Unseen Reflections), where I met my best friend, Futago no Seishi, and then in Cardcaptor Sakura (Syaoran/Sakura in Competition of the Mind, Physical Body, and Soul).

As you may have noticed, those stories are no longer archived on FFnet (including To Believe, a one-shot of slight Malik/Ryou angst), because they were atrociously written and continue to mortify me to this day. I would have refurbished them, but I have neither the time nor energy. Yes, reading my old stuff is embarrassing, but I think every writer has to work through those milestones. I'm still working on it...

I will always have a soft spot for the fandom of Yu-Gi-Oh! and so I leave my YGO stories archived here, despite the showcase of my terrible titling-sense when I was a teen. Really? A six-worded, not-even-clever title? Oh, the humanity!

Despite what Not's update status may indicate, I have not been stagnant for 5 years on FFnet. I have another account in the fandom of Super Smash Brothers (Ike/Marth), which I have been using to experiment with different writing styles and alternate universes. I finally completed a story in 2009 (no kidding! I was surprised too...), disappeared for a few years, then came back with a second wind. Now I'm just spamming the poor fandom with useless writing.

But hey, if you like my writing style, find me over there in that tiny corner while I write drafts of Not. ;)

General

Disclaimer: I do not own any character from... whatever series I'm writing in. For goodness' sake, this stuff is called FAN-fiction for a reason.

Warnings: Homosexuality. Adult language and situations. Sometimes unbeta'd work.

Pairing(s): Sasuke/Naruto (SasuNaru) is the current ship sailed on this account. Maybe Bakura/Malik/Ryou mix 'n match. :P

I have plenty of OTPs (just browse my Favorite Stories and Authors), but have yet to write anything for them. Yes, I'm a FFnet lurker.
