SNIFF! SNIFF! I killed them! I killed them! Two stories and I killed them! Bye-bye, Little Raven (I'm sorry, Hesperos!), and bye-bye My Zephyr (WAAH!). I'm sorry. Zephyr wasn't going anywhere. I hadn't looked at it in over a year and hadn't thought about it in more time that that So that's my excuse on that one. Little Raven's excuse is somewhat less pitiful. No matter how many times I thought it over, it just couldn't go on. It's dead. Plus, the OC, Brendan, is being re-used for something much more worthy. Or rather, his character design will be re-used, and I didn't want anyone making connections between the two. Yah. Paranoia. Not much better.

What I'm working on:

1. One-shot ZOIDS fic. Van is the big-shot on Zi, and he knows it. At twenty-five years old, Colonel in the Republican Army, hero of Zi, and engaged to the voluptuous Miss Fiona, one could say he's the happiest man alive. Or the most stuck-up. And now this big-shot is about to get knocked off his high horse. And who better to do it (gently, of course, without bruising his ego) than... himself?

2. "Peace Keeper." Good Lord, this thing is more like a novella--it's getting so LONG! Anyway, in the fifth chapter, Raven's illness takes a turn for the worse while Fiona braves up and escapes the confinement of her room. Van also excapes confinement, racing towards Prozen's palace as fast as he can go.However, there's a darkness lurking about in the palace, one that is looking to using Fiona as a tool of war and putting an end toits largestthreat: Raven! Whether he recovers from his illness or not, he must flee... for his life! Doesn't that sound exciting?

3. One shot for Aria. I'll probably stick this in a miscellaneous section, or something. A criminal, exiled from Earth, has been forced to do manual labor without rest on the planet Aqua. Hateful, angry, and despairing beyond belief, he feels resentment to all the citizens of Aqua and the beautiful, peaceful life they lead. However, a short gondola ride from one place to another may turn things around for him. Especially when the Gondolier is none other than Akari Mizunashi!

4. Fruba crossover with... xxxHolic! Making progress! (I may even bump it up to the third position) Okay, I have no idea how I'm going to pull this off, but I essentially want the Sohmas to come in contact with Yuko, and convince her to lift the curse! Of course, anyone who's read xxxHolic knows that Yuko's magic comes with a price. Perhaps bringing Akito into her household to "help" around her shop will do as price. Otherwise, the curse stays. This is going to need a lot of work until I feel confident enough to post it.
