ATTENTION ALL BETA READERS. I NEED A NEW BETA. DETAILS ARE IN THE 5/21 ENTRY.
Ohayo, minna-san!
Well, what do I say? Umm... I'm a big fan of anime and manga... For those of you who would care, my birthday is the same as K from Gravitation (August 21!). I've been a fan of FF.net since 2002, but I decided to get my butt in here on March 2006. The first fic that I ever read from this site was actually in 2001, and it was Dyna Dee's Disguise the Limit - DFA 10. After that, it was Ariel-chan's High School Hell, and then finally Dyna Dee's The School From Hell - DFA 7 (yes, I know I read DFA 10 first and then DFA 7. I blame the friend who gave me those fics to read). It wasn't until October of 2002 that I got on here, though.
Let's see, what else... I'm hoping to travel the world and become a famous author some day. Hm... Ah! I hail from Wisconsin... actually, I'm from New York, but yeah. I've lived in a bunch of different states, including Alaska and Washington... The only other country I've been in is Canade (but that's only because we were driving through to get from Alaska to Washington). My favorite colors are pink, green, red, gold, black, blue, and silver. And I have a little cousin whom I absolutely adore, and I'm slowly trying to get her obsessed with anime, too. Just because.
Favorite anime include: the .hack// series, Afro Samurai, Ai no Kusabi, Air, Air Gear, Alice Academy, Angel Sanctuary, Angelic Layer, Aria, Azumanga Daioh, Best Student Council, Beyblade, Blood , Big O, Bobobo-bo Bo-bobo, Chobits, Clannad, Crayon Shin-chan (despite how much it frightens me at times), Cromartie High School, Chrono Crusade, Code Geass, Cosmo Warrior Zero, Cowboy Bebop, Cyberteam in Akihabara, Dai-Guard, Death Note, Descendants of Darkness, Diamond Daydreams, Digimon (mwa ha ha!), DN Angel, Dragon Ball Z, Duel Masters, Eiken (blush...), Elfen Lied, Excel Saga, FlCl, Full Metal Alchemist, Full Metal Panic, G Gundam, Get Backers, Ghost Stories, Gokusen, Gravion, Gravitation, Gun Frontier, Gundam Wing, Gundam Seed, Gundam 00, Gurren Lagann, Hamtaro, He is my Master, Hell Girl, IGPX, Inuyasha, Kaleido Star, Kanon, Kiba, Last Exile, Lost Universe, Lupin III, Maburaho, Magical Doremi, Magikano, Mahoromatic, Maria-sama ga Miteru, Matantei Loki Ragnarok, Mezzo, Mirage of Blaze, Monster, Moribito, Nadia: The Secret of Blue Water, Nanaka 6/17, Naruto, Nerima Daikon Brothers, Ninja Nonsense, Now and Then Here and Now, Oban Star Racers, One Piece, Orphen, Paniponi Dash, Panyo Panyo Digi Charat, Papuwa, Peacemaker, Petite Princess Yucie, Pretear, Prince of Tennis, Princess Resurrection, Princess Tutu, RahXephon, Ranma 1/2, Rave Master, Revolutionary Girl Utena, Rurouni Kenshin, Sailor Moon, Saiyuki, Samurai Champloo, Samurai Deeper Kyo, Samurai 7, Scryed, Shaman King, Shingu: Secret of the Stellar Wars, Slayers, Soul Hunter, Special Duty Combat Unit Shinesman, Speed Racer, Super GALs, Tactics, This Ugly Yet Beautiful World, To Heart, Tokyo Mew Mew, Trigun, UFO Ultramaiden Valkyrie, Ushio and Tora, Vision of Escaflowne, Wedding Peach, Wild Arms, Witch Hunter Robin, Wolf's Rain, Xenosaga, You're Under Arrest, Yu Gi Oh!, Yu-Gi-Oh! GX, Yu-Gi-Oh 5D's, Yumeria, Yu Yu Hakusho, Zatch Bell, and Zoids: Chaotic Century. Of course, there's a whole lot more, but... yeah...
My favorite games include: the Final Fantasy series and the Kingdom Hearts series. Oh, I enjoy Tekken a bit, too. And Ratchet and Clank isn't too bad, either. XD! Sadly, I don't play too many video games... Otherwise this list would probably look like my anime list...
I also watch some shows in Spanish on the channel Univision. The shows I've watched are: Luz Clarita, Carita de Angel, Amigos por Siempre, Aventuras en el Tiempo, Complices al Rescate, La Fella mas Bella, Ami la Niña de la Mochila Azul, Besos Robados, Lola Erase Una Vez, and Alegrijes y Rebujos. Unfortunatly, I don't understand Spanish quite so well despite being Hispanic myself, so it is a little hard. Still, the shows that I watch are cute and entertaining, and I can still understand the general ideas going on, so it's ok.
I have an account on MediaMiner as True Light and an account on AdultFanFiction.net as Dark Light. On Adultfanfiction.net, I have fanfics that I have decided not to put here. My MediaMiner account will be a compilation of my fanfiction from both this site and AFF.net.
I also have an account on Gaiaonline as Adylure. So, yeah. If you wanna make friends, just add me and we can talk and stuff. XD
If there is anyone who needs a beta, please do not hesitate to send me a PM or look at my profile.
I think that's it for the good ol' intros...
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1/1/09
Happy New Year, people! I'm happy! This is just me saying howdy, so yeah! Nothing important to say, really.
1/7/09
I shall be offering my services as a beta! Yes, yes. I enjoy doing it, and now I'm making it official! My profile will be up either later on today or sometime tomorrow. So yeah! I'm excited!
2/5/09
Okie dokie, listen up! AdultFanFiction.net has deleted my stories because I wasn't 18 when I first posted them. It sucks but whatever. I'll be putting my stories back on there as soon as I find one or two of them. But anyway, the reason I'm making this note is that I'll be posting "Prince's Hope" on there again. I'll be updating the six chapters every one or two weeks. And then... a week or two after chapter six gets posted, I will post chapter seven on both this site and that site. Yup, yup. That's it. So, for those of you who are fans, that's when it's coming.
3/1/09
Howdy, everyone! It's 4:10 AM where I am right now. XD! Oh dear. Anyway, to those of you who are anxiously awaiting the next update for "Prince's Hope", well... you'll still have to wait. As for the whole thing between me and AFF.net, I'm almost done with the corrections I have for chapter 1. When I post those over there, I'll post them over here, too. It's just that I feel that there are some bits of info that are confusing and stuff. Plus, it could use a little polishing up. XD. So, yeah. Nothing too major... although, if I feel there is something that should be duly noted, I will mention it on my top A/N. That's it. Happy March 1st!
3/4/09
As anyone who's been paying attention to my profile over these last three years can see, I've been changing how my profile looks. Why am I doing it, you might ask? Just feel like it. Does it look good? But yeah, I've been thinking about doing a lot of different things with this.
3/29/09
Eeep! I feel so bad now! I missed my account's 3rd anniversary/birthday/whatever you want to call it! I'll try to remember next year...
4/3/09
It's 5:54 AM... I'm a little sad right now because it's the first anniversary of my neighbor's death... Anyway, corrections are still going underway for chapter 7 of Prince's Hope. I really don't know when that'll come in. -_- It's annoying me... But anyway, that's how things are going. Hope that those of you who read my fic will be able to wait a little longer! Anyway, time for bed.
4/5/09
It's early morning again... Anyway, I finally found where I stored one of the fics that AFF.net deleted... And I found... That it is only the second chapter. The first chapter is gone! Lost! That is, unless I happen to find the original draft which was hand written... Thing is, I haven't seen that in almost 3 years, so yeah... Well, I'll be working on Chapter 7... later. Good night/early morning.
4/17/09
I have made a breakthrough with correcting chapter 7. (Yay!) What does this mean? My brain isn't quite as stuck on somethings as it was not too long ago! I have a due date for the chapter set up. The next chapter of Prince's Hope will be updated no later than June 16. Why? Because that's when the story will be all caught up with the mediaminer account. I'm just saying that right now just in case something happens. Do not fret, though, because I do plan on updating it sooner! If this little message sounds weird, sorry, I'm up really late again...
4/23/09
laughs maniacally Mwa ha ha!! Due to internet connection going bad last night for me, I was able to work on chapter 7. Actually, I've been working on it, but for a while, I was stuck on an entire scene. Well, guess what? I HAVE WRITTEN IT!! Mwa ha ha! It's been driving me nutso for the longest time, not having this one scene, but I finally have it. It has given me new hope as to when I will be able to post the chapter. Yahoo!! That means I can fix up some things so that I can do another good draft. Cowabunga!!
For the record, I am not crazy. I had a bowl of Cap'n Crunch and some coffee this morning, plus I have watched some very awesome anime and stuff and feel very, very hyper. I'm so happy! XD!!
But yeah, so that's where my mental state is and where I am with the fic.
5/2/09
Ah. It's my high school's prom today. I never got to go to prom... but that's ok! My sister went! And, man, she looked so gorgeous in the dress she's wearing! I swear, I can't believe that's my precious, innocent little sis! She's grown up so fast! wipes tears with a hanky Ah, but yes. Hope she has fun. Hope anyone else who's at/has gone to/will be going to the prom has (had) oodles of fun!
As for me, I'm sick! I thought at first it was just a cold, but I think it might just be that accursed swine flu! XP
5/15/09
It's my mama's birthday! XD! She is now forty. Wow... that's cool...
In other news, that flu or whatever, I don't know if I had it or not, just that I was sick... and now I'm not. Or at least, not as bad... Hoorah! All that's left is all the evil coughs and stuff, but they don't happen much.
As for the writing, I've been trying to take a new approach in correcting the chapter. It seems to be working... Either that, or I'm just being optimistic... But yeah, things look good, and things will hopefully stay on schedule. So yeah! That's what's going on!
5/21/09
That's right! I'm asking for help from another beta! It's just that... I need help making sure things sound right. See, I'm paranoid when it comes to my own writing. Grammar and stuff like that, I've got it covered, but I need someone to tell me that my stuff is ok, that certain things make sense ar don't. So really, I'm looking for an idea type of beta. If there's anyone who can help, please contact. The piece is Chapter 7 of Prince's Hope. I'm actually still in the middle of doing rough drafts, but when I'm sure that most of the colors are off is when I'll be ready to hand it over.
So, anyone want to help? Please PM or send me an e-mail at zekkskhushrenadaminamino425@yahoo.com. If you send it to me via e-mail, please put "beta" somewhere in the subject, please.
5/25/09
Status report: Things are going ok. Still looking for the beta, though. To tell the truth, I'm actually having fun with this chapter... which is kinda funny since I hated it just a few months ago... But it is totally not the same chapter it was when it was first written, let me tell you. I'm actually kind of excited about it; I've done something on it that I've never done, and I hope anyone who reads it will like this something, too. :3 Anyway, things are going great. I saw the new Terminator movie, and I've just been hanging out with my ma a lot. Cool, ne? n_n
Anyway, I hope everyone is having a good Memorial Day!
5/30/09
Yo. It's early morning. Half past 3AM. I'm working on the fic. Yeah. I think it'll be done soon. I'm hoping for that, anyway. I'll really, really try to bring it in by the middle of the month. sighs I'll be starting college soon. I'm just wondering how much my life will change because of it. I really hope I can find the time to work on this. Anyway, just saying hello and howdy-do and stuff. Yeah.
6/5/09
Ok, anything that I said about the chapter coming around nicely is all a big fat LIE! I just hit a road block in my brain on something. Grr... Although, I should probably stop working on the fic so early in the morning... I mean, it's 5 AM here... I really hope I can get this out by my personal deadline. See, I'll be starting college on Monday, and I have absolutely no idea how it's going to affect my life. I'm sort of freaking out, actually. But don't worry, I'll cool down, soon.
Ok. I'll try working on this later on and not in the early morning. I will finish this chapter if it's the last thing I do!!
6/14/09
Ok, I think I've gone through a breakthrough! I just had to see my fic from a different sort of perspective, and it worked out (I think). Ok, so I'm just copying down my corrections and stuff. I doubt it will be done by the 16th, but I'm confident it will get done soon... assuming nothing else pops up in the chapter. I swear, it's always changing!
On another note, I'm betaing for someone! It is Masamune from adultfanfiction.net. I recommend his fics very much! I've only read about four pieces of his work, but they are seriously very good. And he's good with dark/angsty stuff. He really is good. Oh, I should probably update my beta reader thing because of this, lol.
So that's it... Next time I do this, will be when I post my chapter.
6/29/09
I have finally posted the chapter! (after 2 weeeks?!) Hoorah! Ok, there it is, everyone! My little baby that has had so much grooming and probably still needs more... I'm excited and happy! Please review, people, I would very much like the feedback and/or criticism. Get me with everything you've got! lol...
On another note, I am going to be taking a big old break from Prince's Hope. Sorry, but the story's been taking over my mind for a few years, and I haven't quite been able to do any story-like material outside of RPs for a while. So I'll be taking a month to read a bunch of articles, read a bunch of fics, and concentrate a little more on my college work. Don't worry, once it's August 1st, my brain will be back to Prince's Hope mode. Chapter 8 is already on its third or fourth draft, chapter 9 is half-written, and I have notes for chapters 10-12 (and possibly 13, too). It's all looking up!
Hopefully in my month off I'll be able to make a one-shot or something... crosses fingers
Anyway, till then, see you!
7/1/09
Last night, Prince's Hope hit just over 100 reviews! I'm so happy! Thank you all who have read and review and even the people who have added me to their favorite author/story alerts/favorites!
I guess this kinda goes without saying, but I don't need a beta right now. I'll try to stick it out without one for a bit--I won't be as crazy-desperate as I was about a month and a half ago. So sorry about that. The info will be taken down soon--it's just that I'm too lazy to do it right at this moment, lol. And actually, I like to save my profile to my gaia account to watch how much it changes and stuff like that. smile So yup!
7/4/09
Just wanted to say Happy Independence Day to those of you in the US!
8/2/09
Bonjour, mes amis! I am back! Not really. -_- My hiatus will have to be extended for just a couple of more days... At least a week. I have a stupid research paper to work on and I'm betaing for Happy Dragon. (Yes, she's back! XD! I won't have to freak out again... I need to stop freaking...). Anyway, once I get those things done, I'll start working. My last day of school for the first trimester is August 18, so during the 2-3 week break I'll have, I'll really get into it! I'm really going to try to book it because I'd like to try--note, try--to get two chapters of Prince's Hope out between now and December. Let's see how that all goes... Anywho, that's what's going on with me!
8/21/09
Woot! First things first--today is my birthday! biggrin I don't know why I'm so excited. I mean, I do, but I've never been this excited, you know. Yay for 19! It's also K-san's birthday! Yay!
On another note, my hiatus was actually longer than I expected... but now I'm on break for a couple of weeks, and I'm really in the writing mood! This is good! I've got so much to do for Prince's Hope and stuff. I'm doing lots of work and stuff on my birthday. All this extra energy I have will be put to good use! So there!
8/29/09
Just popping in to say hi. The next chapter of PH is going quite nicely. smile
9/1/09
Arg... Next chapter no longer going nicely... I'm trying to figure out how I can put a certain character into the fic, but... arg! She's pretty much useless to the story! But I want to put her in... Arg... I'll probably end up taking her off the story and putting her in something else I'm thinking about writing in the future... Actually, that doesn't sound too bad... We'll see. Other than that, I have to re-write a large portion of chapter 8. Fun. Anyway, that's how things are.
12/10/09
Been a while since I updated here, lol. Actually, I shouldn't be on here at this moment, but I have to do something that will keep my attention for more than a minute, so...
Alrighty! I am currently working on chapter 8 of Prince's Hope... I'm cutting it pretty close though. There's still so much to do before I can send it to my dear Ice Demon Allysandra to look over. I'll do my hardest to get this thing in! I want to do this by the 16th, this story's 3rd birthday! Wow... I really should kick it up a notch. But anyway, thanks to those of you who are still reviewing/have reviewed the story. It really means a lot to me.
Ok, gotta do some reading for class. Til next time!
Oh, PS: If there are any betas out there who would like to help, I'd appreciate the help this time around, please.
12/14/09
Ok, sooooo... I have finished another draft of the chapter, but it's... ugh... it's just awful. I need to cut out a LOT of stuff... And find some way to get rid of all the blue... But other than that, please know that it is close to done! I think... sweatdrops... Anyway, just wanted to let you know! Because yeah! I'm here... and if my head stops giving me headaches, I'll be freaking out a lot less... sigh Ok, that's it, so, good bye!
12/21/09
First of all, I'd like to say HAPPY WINTER SOLSTICE!! Tee hee. I believe it is also Tatsuha Uesugi of Gravitation's b-day! Lol... Anywho, I know that I didn't post the story on time. I'm sorry about that. However, things look good for it being posted by Christmas. Half of it is done, and the other half is being worked on, and so yeah. I can 100 say that it's coming before New Years. Well, that's all I have to say.
12/26/09
Hello there, people! Hope you've had great Christmases and are enjoying Boxing Day (if that's a sort of holiday you celebrate... sweatdrops). Anyway, I posted a part of my fic, but not all of it. I'm so sorry about that. I'll get the other part up as soon as I can. I just want to say thanks to those of you who reviewed for the last chapter. I know there were some that I didn't get to. I also want to thank my dear Ice Demon Allysandra for helping me out and being there. You rock, love!!
Anyway, that's all I wanted to say. Happy Holidays, everyone!
