Fic updates/status

[iapetus]

This thread is solely to post when I update my stories and/or post new ones. If I find any reason to explain why a particular story might be delayed, I shall post the reason here as well.

So, to start it off...

Today (or rather, yesterday) I posted the sixth chapter of Somewhere I Belong ( www.fanfiction.net/s/1769932/7/ ). It finally brings an end to the night which began in chapter 3. O.o

Well, I hope everyone enjoys. <3 Having finally gotten past this part, the next chapter should *hopefully* not take as long. Especially since I want to get at least one more chapter done before November, and possibly two if I can get all of my ideas down.

I was really happy to see a new chapter posted. I've been reading your story since Chapter 3 and I have really enjoyed it. Vampires and Saiyuki. An unusual and interesting combination. It feels like a very well thought out AU. Each character is very interesting and in character and yet unique. I love your attention to detail and the dialogue. Look forward to more before your November plans.

Have read the Prologue and up to Chapter Six....wondering when the next update will be? *waiting, waiting....* ;D

Due to computer problems and issues with school, I only got around to putting this up here on the boards now. ^^; But better late than never.

Candle (http://www.fanfiction.net/s/2150641/1/)

A simple gift with pure intentions can take on a double meaning when the right (or wrong) thing is said.

Wrote and posted a one shot for Sanzo-sama's birthday. However, be warned, for there is Goku/Sanzo implied yaoi in it. No *actual* yaoi, mind you, but the m/mness is still there.

Okee, off to update the other threads. ^^;

I belive that this deserved a different reply than my update for "Candle."

Anyways, I know that I sort of... dissapeared... for awhile. O.o There is a perfectly legitimite reason for this - Real Life got in the way. Very badly, too. This semester of college has been especially hard on me in terms of homework, and drama within my group of friends and family. There just hasn't been a lot of time to write.

If I had my way, I'd be able to write my stories without being disturbed until they were completed. Then I'd be able to sit back and relax as I posted the chapters one by one and watch people's reactions to them. Well, it's nice to dream.

However, the semester is almost over. I will NOT guarenttee that I will get anything done, however. ^^; Every time I ever say that I will, I don't. This is why I do not liked being asked when I'm going to update, since I know the moment I say when it's going to take longer than that. O.o

In terms of story status, my current project is a Christmas story. I'm doing my best to get as much done as I can, and seem to be making progress. o.o If I can finish THIS Christmas story, I'm going to start working on a second one. However, the second one, if I can actually get to it, will be set in the SiB universe (before the story begins).

SiB is currently at around 1k-ish, and unless it does something to me that I do not expect it to (which happens all the time), I'm thinking it'll end up at around 3k. A bit shorter than what I'm used to for this story, but it'll be ok.

Anyways, I hope everyone else is doing fine. <3

Glad your back ;D

Sorry that real life was giving you such a pain

Hope you had fun with nanomo?

I have an update just in time for Christmas. ^^

'Last' Christmas: www.fanfiction.net/s/2187484/1/

AU. Sometimes what a person really wants for Christmas is not theirs to ask for. Sanzo/Goku/Sanzo

Rated 'R' for a very small bit of lime, innuendoes, implied sex and language.

However...! While the sexual tension is present in the story, it is not its focus. At least, that's not what I hope people focus on. ^^;;

There will be a lemon version of this story eventually finished, and if anyone is interested in seeing it, please let me know. As stated in the rules, I will obviously not post the link for it here. And, as ff.net states, I will not post it there. I'm still wondering if I should post it on aff.net or not, but I can decide that once I finish it.

Merry Christmas, everyone. <3

*squeee*

Loved it. Could not review it. So therefore the praise is directed here.

Another one-shot update. ^^;;

There is no greater peace than finally being with the one you love - and realizing that they love you back. And while physical touch is nice, it's the emotion behind it that means so much more. Sanzo/Goku/Sanzo.

Wrote this on the way to and from Ohayocon 2005. I love exploring this particular side of their relationship, and couldn't resist the chance to do so again. Hopefully, everyone will enjoy this little piece that I wrote.

Awww, so nice. Very sweet. Lovely.

...and yet another one-shot update. No shounen ai this time.

Deceptive Warrior ( www.fanfiction.net/s/2230911/1/ )

Even the prince of war fears some warriors – but he respects them as well. And sometimes, the fiercest of warriors are not even alive. Homura-introspection.

I am personally very happy with this piece. And it was inspired by the cold weather where I live currently. ^^;;
