Anyone reading this probably knows me for two Ron/Draco one-shots and my long unfinished opus, The Irony of the Dragon Tamer. TIOTDT is officially...two years and five months old. At it's creation, I knew how I wanted it to end, and that ending is a concept that I've never lost. Even now, I know how this story will end (should I work up the gumption to finish it). It's just getting it to that point.
Not to mention the restrictions of real life, which, upon further thought, I hate to bring into fanfiction journal. We come here to explore worlds that escape our own, and by complaining, I'm feel I'm defeating the purpose. However, there is reasoning for me being away for so long, aside from my own highly stubborn writers block. I'll just give an example--I've still yet to get the chance to even begin HBP. I bought it on Harry Potter eve, and haven't had the chance to read it. *shakes head*
I'm mourning my losses here, and I apologize for that, but I also apologize for leaving everyone who ever remotely liked my story, well...hanging. I hate when good fic isn't finished, and although I don't feel I have the authority to classify my own story as good, it's still hypocritical to leave my own pieces without conclusion or closure. I can't promise to finish it anytime soon, but I can promise to pick it up again, though, without restrictions of deadlines, and try to finish it. I can't say when, but this story will end, and when it does, I will share it with you. Thank you so much for your interest and support in my work--I can't quantify how much it means to me.
All my love and thanks--I really miss you guys. |

Okay, okay...I know I should be working on Chapter 10 of TIOTDT, but...hey. I had one more piece of fluff in my head that needed to get out. So this is my last muse (for the time being), and I'm definately working on TIOTDT. Hope this can quench your thirst for some Ron/Draco luvin', though. My boys are fun in this one. I'm usually not one for established relationships, but this one practically wrote itself in my head, and I didn't really have much say in how it came out. *shrug* I can live with that. Hope you like it, and remember, it's only my second slash sex scene. I'm practicing. lol.

*total shock* I've completed my first slash sex scene. I've been trying for so long to get one out, but its been such a hurdle for me to try to jump, but finally, I've got one! Please oh please peek and tell me what you think!
( Requirement )
Okay, now that I have this out, maybe the next chapter of TIOTDT will be a little easier. *crosses fingers* I'll keep a-typing! |

I've been away for so long, but TIOTDT is just begging to be finished, especially since I've had the entire plot mapped in my head since the very beginning. It's just getting from A to B, from start to finish--that's the hard part, but hey--I'm working. Again. Finally. Want to see what progress I've made? It's only a bit, but it's the start of Chapter 10. I did a lot of Quiddich research for it, too, at Harry Potter Lexicon. I swear, if that site didn't exist, I'd have no clue of what to write.
( The beginning of Chapter 10--enjoy! )
I think I like where this is heading...what do you think? Sex is definately in this chapter--I just have to get there. |

mood:  stressed music: "Rythym Bandits" by Junior Senior
|
ARG!! Why must I be so incredibly busy right now? There is never any time to write! Friends, my situatuion right now is hectic and, if anything, not very productive for fic updating. It all starts with the second and third week of December--I fall ill and am in the hospital, and unable to finish the last semester. The weeks following are filled with recooperation, fun, but least of all catching up with school. So now, my deadline to finish my schoolwork lies two weeks in the future, but that does not allow me to disreguard the beginning of the current semester. So I have five papers to write, three books to read, and three final exams to take for last semester, and then I get to play catch-up for this semester, because I live in the northeast of the States--snow is terrible, and for the last four days, I've been unable to leave my house for any reason. Our driveway is a sheet of ice, an inch thick at the least.
Is that enough for you? Well, tack on the renovation of my house. I'm still living at home for the next semester, so I'm still living with parents that put home renovations as first priority and school work (which I'm paying for!) as second. For the last two weeks, I've had to forgo my homework, my studying, my reading for classes, and my catchup work for last semester to move furniture, put up shelving, dissemble my old room and the last ten years of my life and reassemble it into a much smaller living space. My life is seperated into boxes and garbage bags now, and I'm so behind on everything, I'm borderline violent. And I'm broke, too. Heh, that doesn't affect my writing so much, but it really stresses me out, and damn but it feels good to get it all out of my head for a second.
*sigh*
Thanks, I needed that. So yes, TIOTDT will be a bit delayed for a couple of weeks. Once I get past the last-semester work, though, I should find my writing time once again. This semester is filled with classes to fill general required credits, so it's not too difficult, overall. Just now, when I've got an extra 19 credits hanging over my head. I'll be better soon. Thanks. *smile* |

And I am uber proud of myself, because I've finally got the next chapter of TIOTDT out! It took me long enough, didn't it? I'll post it here, cause, I don't know, I feel that I should. Meh. Here it is:

And that's all she wrote...at least for tonight. I'm planning to get the next chapter out by Christmas. That's in 10 days, too! Wow, hope I can do it. |

*sing-song voice* Oh, I'm an insane freak, Oh, I'm an insane freak...
I can't stick with one story. It kills me. I should be killed. Anywho, I'm posting what I got so far. I need, like, slasher-sex-scene help, cause the closer I get to the actual sex, the more reluctant I am--I'm afraid that I'll fuck em' up, and I so don't want to fuck this stuff up.
Anywho, yes, I've got a new fic begun. Clark/Lex, because I'm in love with Lex Luthor, and nobody has ever written Lex playing the piano, and I'm also in love with the piano. I think it's sexy...*pout* Maybe someone else will, too. I don't have a title yet, so go w/ the summary.
( Clark, Lex, and a Piano )
And can you believe I stopped there? Hell, I'm driving myself crazy w/ stopping there. I've got to finish some of these fics that I start. I'm the queen of unfinished fics. Meh. That's why I'm so damn new at this stuff. |

I don't know what to say to my readers. I've not updated my story in over four months, but here I am, the middle of December, and I'm actually working on Chapter 9 of my story. So many people have been so supportive, and I feel so bad about having it wait so long. So, here's my reward. I wonder if anyone checks this, so I'll post what I got so far of the next chapter. If you wish, happy readings! I'll be back soon to finish it.
( Chapter 9: Untitled as of Yet )
In other news, I'm very sick right now. I've been withdrawn from school until I'm well enough to take my finals. I've just finished watching SLC Punk w/ Matthew Lilliard, and I've got this strange notion of Draco in green spikes a la Devon Sawa. Strange notion indeed. |

It's really much easier to post chapters when they're already finished...lol. I've posted Chapters 3 through 6 of TAOAS. In reflection, I keep thinking, "Wow, I write so differently now."
I know you're going to want to hurt me, but I've yet to begin Chapter 9 of TIOTDT, and my deadline was, what, two?...three weeks ago? I'll probably have a chance to work on it either tonight or Thursday afternoon. I started school last week, and although I love my schedule, it keeps me busy. I've 3 English courses: Creative Writing, Reading Fiction, and Reading Science Ficiton. They're all a blast--super-fun. I've also got two theater classes, one which we discuss drama, and the other where we view it--live. I get to watch professional shows for a grade. How did I get so lucky? Finally, I have Asian Philosophy, which is facinating. I get to school at 9 and stay till at least 6 every day except for Wednesdays and Fridays. On Wednesdays, I'm here until 9:30. On Fridays, I get out at about 3:15. I've got my piano lessons on Thursday at 6:30. I'm still holding down my part time job. I worked yesterday, and I work again on Friday. I am still singing and helping out with the music programs at church. I cantored last Sunday, and I cantor again this Saturday. That's pretty much my life right now, and I'm struggling for time, but when I find it, my first priority is TIOTDT. I miss it, and have a good general idea for what I want to write for the next chapter. |

The deadline for the next chapter of TIOTDT is due in about 4 and a half hours. I should be in the process of at least writing it, and hopefully posting it.
Instead, I've begun transferring my other fanfic, The Allure of a Saiyan, to my site. I've got the Table of Contents and the first two chapters up and ready to be read. I'll do the rest of it as time progresses. |

Greetings, one and everyone. lol, too much Homestar Runner on the brain. Welp, I've finished Chapter 8 of TIOTDT, and it's posted. Read it here. I'm proud of myself again, because low and behold, it's not a month since my last update. It's not even two weeks since my last update! Whoo hoo to improvement! I've even got a bit of the next chapter in my head, so I can begin writing ASAP...tomorrow. lol. |

Phew, I've been busy again. I've said it once, I'll say it again. The old layout annoyed me. So now there's a new one. It's cleaner. I like it better.
Tune in to the fic section, because there is a new chapter to The Irony of the Dragon Tamer, Common Desires. Woo! I met my deadline!...kinda. I'm late by, like, six and a half hours, but hey, at least its not a month. And now I have a plot to follow, so I'm happy and ready to write. |

I don't know why, but I decided to update my site this evening. Not that anyone visits it, but just the same, it was annoying me.
I've finally posted all that I have of my baby, The Irony of the Dragon Tamer, which is the fic I'm focusing on right now. I've added a feature that I think is neat-o. I've got a timer in both Chapter 6 and the Table of Contents that measures how long it will be until I post the next chapter. So now readers will know how long to wait for updates. I thought it was a useful idea. Wonder if anyone will ever see it...lol. Ah well. |

I really like my opening page, very much so when versus the layout for the rest of my pages. I may change it once again if it bugs me...which it is doing. But hey, the page is up. Now the fics need to be posted. I'll get on that right away. |
