Three Wishes or You

Hey everyone! I have published Three Wishes or You yesterday!  

Taken from Shizuru's POV, you get your supernatural romantic ShizNat twist.
Basic Summary: Shizuru runs across an enchanted tea pot and inside is Natsuki the Genie.  As cute and funny as it may sound the story is actually quite mellow.  She's given three wishes but truly it is not the wishes she needs in her life but something more.  


Other Updates:

The Greatest Gift is still in progress.  3 Chapters written (none submitted).  This is the other story I plan to release on February 15th.  

There is FanArt now!  I finally decided to take a mouse, CS4, and the pen tool to my computer and pull up some fanart stuff.  Legal Stuff: I don't own the characters but I do have rights to the stuff I created.  Don't use them without my permission (which I'd totally give xD, just tell me).

Natsuki Kuga the Genie-

Run, Natsuki, OMG Run!

Personal Updates:
Everything's been going fine and dandy kinda.  :D A few interesting and odd speedbumps along the way this week but it's been okay.  School's be great as usual and it hasn't begun to take time away from writing and art so that's a plus.  

Btw, Happy Chinese New Year!

Busy Saturday Morning

So a little update on me...

School started this last week and so far I have not been bogged down with any homework.  My favorite class so far is Human Sexuality which is as every bit hilarious and crazy as it sounds.  In class work involves getting into groups and thinking of every sexual activity (and their slang) then sharing it with the class.  Righto, my group won.
Things have been going pretty well overall with two weeks in to the New Year.  
I got to see snow for the first time, the day after New Year and that was pretty exciting.  I got to play in it as well!  I'll post a couple pictures of the snowmen I made.  Unfortunately I just wasn't talented enough to make one of Natsuki or Shizuru.

Some updates on Fanfiction.

Well between New Year and this post, I have made two updates:
I've Had Enough- Finally complete!  The last chapter was actually quite difficult to squeeze out but I did it.  I have to say I'm pretty happy with the piece and I even made a couple of adoring fans out of it.  As always the story was enjoyable to write.

What! Grapes?-  This is a little one shot released before the last chapter of I've Had Enough.  It's your typical misheard conversation that has a cute ShizNat twist to it.  
On the topic of exploding grapes, I want to say that it is possible but I do not recommend it.  I did give fair warning in the fic not to try it unless you want to damage your microwave.  There are plenty of videos on the internet to satisfy your curiosity xD 

Things to look forward to!

Besides the plethora of oneshots that I have waiting on file, I have two fanfics that will run a little longer than a oneshot.
The Greatest Gift- This is going to be a long term project and I've already pushed out the fourth chapter to it.  I absolutely enjoy the plot!  The release date is scheduled for the day after Valentines (February 15th) so please look forward to that!  

A little info on it: 
Shizuru is a private Investigator and Natsuki is a _________. 
A little Chie and Aoi goodness for those of you who are deprived.  
A little bit of action, maybe some things exploding~  

A Thousand Wishes or You- Title is going to change, most likely but it'll be a paranormal romance that has been brewing in my mind for the last two months.  Originally it was a oneshot but it was going to be a ridiculously long oneshot so I've divided it up into four or five chapters.  I'm half way done with it already and I plan on releasing in on January 29th or sooner.  

Chie and Aoi- There is a serious lack of Chie/Aoi fics out there and they are a greaaaat couple.  (Chie is actually one of my favorite characters in the anime)  For your Chie/Aoi fans out there I do plan on venturing outside the realm of ShizNat to write a couple oneshots on this beautiful couple. If you have any suggestions for a plot please feel free to PM or email me.

------

For now I believe that is all I have to update on.  I may release another oneshot in the next three weeks depending if I can find a quick little plot to go off of.  If not, sit back and wait for the premier of The Greatest Gift and A Thousand Wishes or You

As always, thanks for the support.

New Beginning?

There are two mistakes one can make along the road to truth...not going all the way, and not starting.

Happy New Year!

So yes, welcome to my new Blog. Simple now, yes. But slowly I will fill it to be something that reflects me and my passions. I've had blogs before and I still maintain one personal one for my own records. This, though, will be my first completely public blog. I have my reasons for starting it but I think it'll be somewhat amusing for myself. I hope to fill it with my obsessions!

Writing (fan and non fan-fiction)
ShizNat (as the English fandom has deemed it, which is the pairing Shizuru x Natsuki from Mai-Hime/Otome)
Oranges
Wolves

I'm in the process of making my own template to suit my tastes and style. I'm excited for this New Year and as always I have hope it'll be better than the last! Live, Hope, Love.
