![]() Author has written 150 stories for Sailor Moon, Harry Potter, Veronica Mars, Labyrinth, Big Love, Dexter, Avatar: Last Airbender, and Doctor Who. Edited 5/2/14 1) In the interests of deweeaboofying my online presence, I'm changing my fanfic handle everywhere I can from 'kihinranno' to 'commas and ampersands' or something closely related. In a related story, I am not dead! 2) Since I am not dead, none of my fics are dead. Double yay! I know it's been an embarrassingly long time since I've updated anything, and I know how frustrating that can be if you're a fan of a story that goes years between updates. I'm a fan of SM4200; trust me, I know your pain. 3) I am terrible at checking for PMs or other messages. If you want to get in touch with me quickly (or at least more quickly than on this site), I'm on tumblr constantly. My handle at present is commas-and-ampersands. You can message me on anon if you don't want to get sucked into the black hole of time suck that is tumblr. 4) I am writing again. The last few years have been decidedly not great, but with the upcoming Sailor Moon anime reboot and the new musical, I am overflowing with Sailor Moon feelings. For the time being, they're being expressed in fic, and I hope I can keep that up. Here's a quick rundown of what's going on with the stories. Forgotten Forever, Hands Fall Together, and The Little Bear all need some serious revision. The plan for the time being is to go through all the old chapters, rewrite them en masse, write a new chapter for each one, and then delete the current story. I will then start fresh, uploading chapters on a weekly or biweekly basis. This process will conclude with a new chapter for each story. I unfortunately can't project what happens after that. Mask of Lies has currently been taken down from every site hosting it. I am not abandoning the story, but I realized recently that I said something really incredibly racist in at least one chapter. I decided the best course of action was to take the story down immediately. I am sincerely sorry to anyone who was hurt by that comment. It was unacceptable, and I promise you I will try to do better from now on. Mask of Lies will be fixed up and updated as described above. On a similar note, I'm probably going to go through my one-shots fairly soon and remove any other stories that have similar problems vis-a-vis sexism, homophobia, transphobia, racism, and any other form of bigotry. I've grown a lot as a person since I started writing and realized how incredibly entrenched these ideas were in my brain - so much that I didn't even know that I was doing them or that they were wrong. If you see anything specifically problematic/gross in any of the one shots before I get around to this, please contact me or leave a review and I will get around to fixing that as soon as possible. All other one-shots will stay up for the time being, but again, I am hoping to go through and brush everything up at a certain point. Until that's done though, the stories will remain up as is for you to enjoy in their current state. As for Ring around Redemption, 13 Moon Dragons, and Fumbling Towards, I can't guarantee with any certainty that these stories aren't dead. For now, I'll leave them up and add a note about them being on hiatus, but I may take them down until it looks like they will actually be updated. Between Ruin and Salvation has a similar deal. Part of me would like to write a sequel/continue playing around in that universe, but Harry Potter is just not where my head is at. If anything changes, I'll make a note here.I think that's everything. Thanks to everyone for their continued messages, reviews, and support. I hope I'll have something to show you all soon. KR |
