T.E.: My thumb drive bit the dust.
Okay, my thumb drive worked perfectly fine yesterday. I opened stuff from it and saved things to it. Then today for some reason it stopped working. I can't think of a single thing I could have done to kill it. I wasn't near and magnets, I didn't wash it, I can't think of anything that might have cause it to stop working.
What does this mean for my fics, well for most of them it means nothing. I'm getting better at backing things up. The bad news is I had just finished the next chapter of Flashy Title finally, and I didn't have it backed up yet. I will try to re-finish it as fast as I can.
Now that I'm done apologizing... does any one anyone at all read this? Sorry after getting only two review for the latest chapter of 2 B a Master, my confidence is a little shot. Not that it will stop me from writing, but I'm curious. |

Tittle Excuse: I'm away for a bit, but I'm not going to forget to work on my stories
Where have I gone? I can't really say it's not that its a secret, but talking too much can get me in trouble so I'll say nothing at all. For those of you that don't know I'm in the US Air Force. Right I'm now working overseas.
That's half the reason I haven't updated anything in a bit. The other half is that a few games came out and I spent too much time playing them. The playing games was just October. The rest was either being gone or preparing to be gone. I won't say just how long I've been without my reference materials.
So while I'm gone, I will be working on my stories, but when and if they update will be very sporadic.
Anyway the main reason I broke the silence was to make a note to myself. I saw the coolest thing today. Two military vehicles had Transformer logos, one for each faction. I guess I'm not the only Transformers geek in the military. |

Title Excuse: I posted TTch13 today rather than yesterday.
That however was not entirely my fault, it took some time for me to get in touch with WarG. If I wanted to I could have put the chapter up without the Omake, but in waiting for WarG, J.C. St. Patrick also gave the chapter a look through so the over all product was better then it would have been. So this chapter you all have WarG, Patrick, Wray, and a fellow by the name of Gangsta Spanksta(sp?) for corrections and additions.
For now on in addition to putting the chapter through C&C at Fukufics, they got through the wringer at Ranmafics.com's forum as well.
Anyway now that I've clear that hurdle, next will be the next chapter of "Flashy Title", followed by the next chapter of "Out There" and the Twin Trouble 14. |

Title Excuse: It's what I'm doing.
I screwed up royally. I was almost done with the next chapters of both Twin Trouble and Flashy Title, and when I did my laundry I forgot to take my thumb drive out of the wash. So I've lost all of Flashy Title, and some of Twin Trouble.
As for the other delays. Work has kept me busy. I will try to finish Twin Trouble with what I have, and then Flashy Title and Out There. The other stories...well I'll see what I can do. As it is now, I will have Twin Trouble by the fifteenth. I will promise you all that. How long until the update after that. I don't know. |

Title Excuse: For the later half of June and early half of July I was visiting my folks.
What that mean for my fics is they were on hold, as my computer uses a word processor that can't be read on my folk's computer.
Now that's I'm back, I've gotten past the two, or is it three, year block on "Out There" Right now that story has my priority. Once it's down, I work on Twin Trouble again and then Chaos in the Moon.
I'm not going to be solely focusing on Twin Trouble anymore. So it will probably have a monthly update time now. I think I'll be able to do the same with "Out There" now that I'm past my block. Here's hoping for the best. |

Title Excuse: that's the progress of the next chapter of Twin Trouble.
It's on it's way, I'm a little sort on time, and I re-wrote most of the chapter, I didn't like what I had. However if you're interested, I will post the original version here in an unedited state after I've posted the final version on FF.net
As to why I'm sort on time, two reason work....and Pokemon. |

Title Excuse: Why I decided to write Twin Trouble.
What is Twin Trouble, my newest fic Idea that came from me wanting to give Ryoga a girl curse. Instead of making him turn into a girl with cold water the it struck me to have him be a twin, and his twin be a girl. From their the ball went rolling and I couldn't sleep until I wrote out the first chapter, which doesn't have Ryoga in it at all. Well he's mentioned.
I find it a bit funny that Twin Trouble is my first non-fukufic to go up at Fukufics.com for pre-reading, and it's also my first fic to get constructive criticism there. Normally I get pat on the backs, or suggestions I don't need. (Well aside from J. St.C. Patrick, helping to fix my grammar and other such. Don't know what I'd do without him, since I haven't been able to find a normal pre-reader.)This time I actually got some input I can and will use. (Maybe not all of it)
Anyway as for my other stories. I'm working on them slowly but surely.
I'm still stuck on "Out There." I probably should have take more time before I released it. My problem is I know where I want it to go, but not how to get there. I apologize to those of you who enjoyed it and are waiting for more.
Poor Poor "2BAM". I just keep forgetting about that one, and when I do remember to work on it, I have no idea what to do with it.
Let see story by story:
Twin Trouble: In the process of a re-write.
Chaos In the Moon: Haven't started the next chapter.
Flashy Title: Next chapter in progress.
Laying it on the Line: Haven't started the next chapter.
The Truth About Makoto: Next chapter 50% complete
Slay Ranma: Next Chapter in progress.
Out There: Stuck, working on getting unstuck. Check back in 2009.
Personality: Dead. It's an Ex-Fic and has gone to join the Choir invisible.
2 Be a Master: I started the next chapter, not sure where the file is. ^^; |

Title Excuse:I started working on a new chapter. Maybe it will be done some time soon.
I'm really sorry this last year hasn't brought many new chapters of my fics. Different things have kept me busy. I've also been stumped with the different fics, I know where they're going but I'm not as sure how to get there.
Anyway, I guess you'll have to wait and see. |

Title Excuse: No one probably cares but I though I'd answer the question.
I started to work on the next chapter of Out There. Things are going okay but it is coming along slowly. I apologize and all I can blame it on is a lack of motivation.
Well I can also blame it on the fact that I'll be moving from one apartment to another in the complex cause Hiraishin has orders to Korea.
I promise I'll have something by the end of the month, I just don't know what yet. |

Title Excuse: I'm just about done with the next chapter of Flashy Title.
If things go as planned the new chapter will be up friday. I finished writing it Wednesday, and then I took a break before re-reading it, tomorrow it will go up on Fukufics to hopefully get some additional proofing from the members there. Once every thing is done the new chapter will be up on fanfiction.net.
What's next...well we'll have to wait and see where my inspiration goes. I might finish the next chapter of CitM, it's about half way done I've just haven't been motivated to work on that story. |

Title Excuse: I'm still working on Flashy Title Chapter five.
Everything is going a bit slowly cause I'm not entirely sure how I want to end the chapter. I had one ending in mind, but I didn't think it would work well with the future of the story so I scrapped it and now I'm in the progress of re-writing the chapter ending. I may end up a bit short as well.
The other stories I haven't touched as much at present just cause I've been a little unmotivated. Half my motivation comes from reading other fics, but the ones I really enjoy haven't updated much lately. |

Title Excuse: I got an interesting review for LiotL chapter 3.
From Gate:
It stinks...
...I could leave it there, but just to show I'm not blowing smoke I'll list it's faults:
1) The whole SI factor is badly done.
a) Your SI just seems to appear in the story with no real background backing it up, except a half-assed introduction.
b) Your SI's "counterpart" is overpowered enough to rate as a Mary Sue (aka Gary Stu).
2) Your "well known characters" obviously aren't well known enough otherwise I might have reconized them, as such they just drag the story down. I spend most of my time skipping these unknowns in an attempt to see more of the actual story.
3) The whole "give a bunch of people a Girl-Curse" plot device you have going there is badly implemented and does little to nothing to impact the story, outside of creating half-thought relationships in an attempt to give everyone a boyfriend/girlfriend.
4) Mousse is OOC, Ranma is OOC, heck even Genma is OOC. Now you can play the whole AU (which I'm positive is an aconym for "An excUse to write ooc") card and try to play the OOC off as artistic lisence, but we all know AU is a methode to write an OC (Original Character) and pass it off as another known character (more often than not this is done to Ranma).
And my reply:
Your entitled to your opinion. Other people like it, your more then welcome to hate it.
1)a)Did you read the end of chapter two, there is a back flash to explain how I ended up with Ranma and how Hiraishin is with Genma.
1)b)His name is Kris Gerry, and he'd be very insulted at being called Marry Sue. Over powered is just how his fictional self is. There is a reason I call Laying it on the Line, the worst self insert ever.
2) I don't expect you to know who Marcus Cole is, he's from Babylon 5, however most of the other characters are from Angelic Layer. Sara, Chistine, Kevin and Ox-zi are all original characters.
3) Me, Ranma, Mousse. I don't think that's everyone. *shrugs* I don't plan on giving everyone a boyfriend or girlfriend. I think I have three pairs Mousse/Shampoo, Ryoga/Ukyo, and Nabiki/Herb. None those relationships are caused by curses. (Misaki and Hotoko's brother's relationship is cannon Angelic Layer.)
4)Mousse: Yep, definitely OOC, no real excuse there for why I changed him.
Ranma: Is he completely OOC? I mean he's been in the US for a year, he's grown up a little.
Genma: He's had to put up with Hiraishin for a year, I think hopeless works.
Honestly I can't see why all fanfics aren't classified as Alternate Universe stories, as soon as you change a detail to the story, you've changed the Universe. It is an alternate universe either way because I've merged it with the universe of Angelic Layer.
Anyway your review has been deleted cause it doesn't seem appropriate. Telling me I suck is all fine and good, but some of your assumptions are ill informed and off base. That an you posted anonymously so I couldn't reply to you. |

Title Excuse: Better late than never, TAMM chapter 3 is up.
With The Truth About Makoto chapter 3 done, I'm bouncing around "Chaos in the Moon" chapter 8 and "Flashy Title" chapter 5. Unfortunately something else has popped into my head and I may have trouble working on the other fics if I don't write it. We'll see what happens.
Okay, here where I see if anyone reads this. I am thinking about taking "Personality" off of FanFiction.net. At this time I have no plans to continue it. I've lost all motivation to work on that particular story. So if anyone wishes me to keep it up there even though it will not be continued any time too soon if at all, speak now of forever hold your peace. |

Title Excuse: I'm finally returning to my LJ and fic writing.
Chapter 3 of TAMM should be done by the end of the week barring any writer's block.
I'm making progress on ch 8 of CtiM. It should be noted that the last entry was about ch 7 and not ch 8.
As for the other fics, well I'm working on them all randomly, who knows when what will be done. Sorry my motivation towards certain stories has dropped due to loss of files, loss or research, and just plain old writer's block. |

Title Excuse: Despite how much I hate touches for personal reason that I won't get into in this LJ (most who need to know, know what my second one is called), "You got the Touch" is still one of my favorite songs from Transformers the Movie. I'm guessing it popped into my head cause I'm slowly picking my speed back up with my fanfiction.
Slay Ranma chapter 3 is now complete and on the editing table at Fukufics.com. I'll leave it on the table for another day then it will be up at Fanfiction.net. At the same time I plan on sending that and the new versions of the previous chapters to Crossing Bridges.
Thanks to some help also from Fuku Fics I'm able to get past the small bump in the road I had for "CitM" chapter 7. So that will probably be finished soon and could be up as soon as Saturday and as late as next Wednesday. |

I think I'm making decent progress on the next chapters of Slay Ranma and CitM. I may even be making enough progress in Slay Ranma to finally get atleast Ranma and Akane in Seshi Fuku's.
Side note: I've updated and revised the three chapters of Slay Ranma aready on Fanfiction.net There are a few minor changes to the story. |

TITLE EXCUSE: My first note will be a comment of thanks so that line from a church hymn popped into my head.
Uber special thank you to J.St.C. Partick for assisting me in making my chapters proper for public posting.
Good news, as soon as I can get Hiraishin to give me the file I'll have the next chapter of "Laying it on the Line" finally. Expect it to be up at Fanfiction.net by next Friday if not sooner.
I'm makeing progress on the next chapter of "Flashy Title". Although it may still be a bit before that's done. It isn't flowing as easily as the latest chapter of "Chaos in the Moon" I'm also tempted to work on the next chapter of "Slay Ranma" We'll see what happens. |
