More stuff about me: I like reviews. Lots of reviews. Lots and lots and lots of reviews. Seriously, I don't even care if they are good or bad, just read my stuff and send me something. I might not say anything about it, but trust me: send me a good review and I will love you forever.

(2-24) Greetings, fellow writers! Although it saddens me to do so, I admit that I have not been paying as much attention to my fanfiction account as I should have these past few months. Yes, my work load this semester is considerably more substantial than it was last time, but I'd rather not use that as an excuse. I apologize for the lack of updates and I promise you all that I will return soon.

I have a big story in the works, one that I plan on unveiling sometime over the summer if everything goes according to schedule. It is a co-authored Final Fantasy Crossover piece written by me and several good friends. It requires a great deal of polish, but once it lives up to my high standards, it will find a new home here on fanfiction. I hope you are all looking forward to it as much as I am.

In the meantime, I will try to finish up "On Top of the Mountain", which only has three or four chapters left (how many times have I said that now?). Seriously, though, it's almost finished. Sorry to make you guys wait, but it will receive closure soon. I will also try to continue with "Materia Master" if I find time, but for now, most of my attention is being focused on polishing up the FF Crossover epic. I'll keep you posted if any changes come up.

Thanks a lot for your patience, guys. Keep those creative juices flowing!

(12-27) Hey there, folks. Yes, I am still alive. In case you were wondering where I've been all this time, I had to do some important missionary work in Guam. It's amazing how much one's life changes after spending three weeks with those less fortunate. I am truly a changed man.

I'm lying, of course (as if I really needed to clarify). Seriously, though. I've been taking this time to work on my independant novels, both of which are coming along nicely, thanks for asking. Don't worry; I'll return to fanfiction in good time. Just be patient until then.

(12-1) I would like to call attention to a writer called Wolf of the Midnight Sun. If you are a fan of wrestling stories and/or good writing in general, her stories will most definitely appeal to you. Simply put, they are some of the best pieces of literature I have ever read. Her ability to interject emotion and feelings into words is phenominal, and I make a personal guarantee that you will not be disappointed if you check out her work.

It has also occurred to me that it has been nearly two weeks since my last update. For some, this doesn't seem like such a big deal, but I make it a habit of trying to update at least once a week. I apologize for my lack of progress, but this time of year is the bane of the respective existences of college students the world over: Finals Time (collective gasp). No worries, though. I promise I will get back on track with the updates as soon as finals are over and I can take a break from school. Just be patient until then.

(11-19) I'd like to thank Half Breed Angelic Demon for adding me to his/her Author Alert List.

I'd also like to call attention to one of my favorite authors on this site: a very talented individual known only as Post. If you are a fan of Teen Titans, you absolutely must read this man's stories. He has the show down to a T: it's likey ou're watching everything happen on TV as you read it. He does an especiallygood job of portraying Starfire; all of her speech habits and mannerisms are included with impressive accuracy. Again, if you a fan of Teen Titans, you must read his stories. This is not a matter of "should", oh no...you must. You absolutely have to. Your life - your very existence - depends on whether or not you read this guy's stories or not. Seriously. He's in my Favorite Authors list, so go check out his stuff right now.

That is all.

(11-12) I would like to extend my thanks to justagirl8225 for adding me to her Favorite Authors List and her Author Alert List. I appreciate it. It looks as though you've got quite few stories under your belt, but I will try to review as many of them as time allows.

That goes for anyone else who adds me to their favorites list, gives me a kind review, etc. If you do something nice for me, I will try to return the favor. It's only appropriate, after all...

(11-8) I'd like to thank Simon Diamond for adding me to his Favorite Authors List. I'm glad you like 'On Top of the Mountain', Simon. The next chapter is on the way.

For those of you who are unfamiliar with Mr. Diamond's work, I suggest you go read some of his stories right away. He is one of the fewpeople on this site who actually knows how to write a good WWE romance fic. His skills are quite impressive and you would be wise to analyze his writing in an effort to pick up a tip or two.

(11-5) Nothing much to report here at the moment. Just uploaded Chapter 5 on my wrestling fic, 'On Top of the Mountain'. If you haven't read it yet, what are you waiting for, you lazy bum?

I'd also like to give a shoutout to my two new best friends, Mentally-Unstable and CenasNakedInMyBedWithMe. If you haven't read their stuff yet, you must do so right now. Go on. Read their stories or die. It's funny cuz you think I'm kidding.

By the way, I'd like to give a big 'thank you' to Cenababe1 for adding me to your Favorite Authors list. I'm glad you like my stories, and I promise I shall not disappoint any of my loyal fans. Read on fellow FF-ers! (hope you don't mind if I use your term, CNIMBWM) Tootles.

(11-3) Thank you for adding me to your author alert list, M-U. Also, thanks for the kind reviews, CNIMBWM; I really appreciate it. The third and final chapter of 'Rogue' is on the way. I've just got a few last-minute tweaks to make. Anyway, for those of you who were wondering, I have two more chapters planned for 'On Top of the Mountain' - the big match with Kidman followed by the climactic ending! Gasp! What will happen? How will this epic story be resolved? Hell if I know - er, I mean, um, you'll just have to wait and see, now won't you! Yes, that's what you'll have to do! Just wait and see!

And as for 'Materia Master': well, I know where I need to go, I just need to find some way to GET there. So yeah, it might be a little while before I update that one again. But I WILL continue to work on it; make no mistake about that. I wouldn't want to disappoint my legions upon legions of dedicated fans, after all cough cough. You know who you are. Okay, I've rambled long enough. Later, y'all.

(11-2) Score! After countless grueling months of writing and submitting (okay, so it wasn't that hard, but bear with me here), I am finally beginning to develop a fan base. Many thanks go out to Mentally-Unstable and CenasNakedInMyBedWithMe (sounds weird when I say it...) for adding me to their favorite authors list.

Also, thanks once again to CenasNakedInMyBedWithMe (yup, still sounds weird...) and SetsuntaMew for adding me to your author alert list. Seriously, I really appreciate it. And yes, M-U, your story about the WWE superstars in Wal-Mart frightened me. In a good way, mind you, but frightening nonetheless. I'm going to have images of Batista riding the mechanical horsie while giggling like a hyperactive schoolgirl running through my head for the rest of my life. Thanks a lot for haunting me with that disturbing image. I mean it. Thank you from the bottom of my freaking heart.

Well, seeing as how I have some fans, I guess I'd better try to update a bit more frequently. Thanks again, you guys.

(10-31) Okay, here is my hit list as of today: Finish my wrestling fic ("On Top of the Mountain" - only 1 or 2 chapters to go; haven't quite decided yet), then post the remainder of my Morrowind fic, "Rogue" (this is my favorite submission to fanfiction so far. You should read it), then continue working on my FF VII fic, "Materia Master", which will hopfully be a little longer than my other two stories. After that: 2 more Morrowind fics in the works and a Soul Calibur fic that will probably end up being insanely long. Sigh I wish I had more time to work on them, but this little thing called "life" keeps getting in the way. Oh well. I'll just have to make due with what I've got to work with.

(10-27) Well, I submitted a new story recently. This one is a Final Fantasy VII fic involving Tifa's life three years after the events of the game. It's called "Materia Master", in case you were curious. Now I'm usually not the kind of person to start something new before finishing something else I was working on previously (ie "On Top of the Mountain", my wrestling fic) but I've been thinking about this FF 7 piece for a long time, and I just really needed to scratch the itch, so to speak. Don't worry; I plan on finishing my wrestling story first before I continue on with "Materia Master". If anyone cares, that is.

I mean, I've only gotten one review so far, so I'm debating whether I should continue or not. After all, why continue to write if I have no indication that anybody is reading it? I know I said that I prefer quality over quantity, but I do have my standards: I'd rather not continue a story unless I get two reviews. Even something as short as "Good Story" will suffice. This issue requires further contemplation...and some more reviews. Good, bad, I don't care. Something is better than nothing in my opinion.

So long, fellow writers. Have a nice day.

(10-24) Due to a request from one of the reviewers, I have decided to go ahead and split up my Morrowind fic, "Rogue", into separate chapters. I originally submitted it in its entirety (all 10,000-something words of it) and I suppose some people found the length to be kind of intimidating. Cut me some slack; it was my first fanfiction entry! Oh well. I'm more aware of how things work around here now. And who knows? Maybe submitting it in its separate chapters will actually get more people to read it. I guess time will tell.

Also, the second chapter of my wrestling fic, "On Top of the Mountain", has been added. Much to my surprise, this story is not doing as well as I expected. You would think that since 90 of the wrestling stories on this site are poorly-executed, stereotypical romance fics involving either Randy Orton, John Cena, Trish Stratus, or Stacy Keibler, the readers here would be a bit more receptive to a little variety. Again, I think the length might be chasing people away (2 chapters = 6,407 words) but I suppose there's nothing I can do about that. I like to write and I see no reason to shorten my entries just so I can get more reviews. Don't get me wrong; I like to get lots of reviews (positive or negative, it doesn't matter) but I prefer quality over quantity. I would rather have one person read one of my stories and really enjoy it than to have a dozen people read that same story and think it was just 'okay'.

Alright, that's enough out of me for now. Keep those creative juices flowing.
