Catch 4,000 and win a prize! (excludes past winners this time, sorry.)

=^__^=

Proper journal after that.

So... the move is done... I'm on my own... and ya know what? It's not too bad.

I've got my own apartment now, and aside from the fact that I gotta get it in gear and get everything organized, I think I'm enjoying the solitude and the peace and quiet. Once I get settled nice and pretty, I can buckle down on getting some real writing done without fear of my parents looking over my shoulder. GAH! Imagine answering THOSE questions when you're 25 years old!

Anywho... here's a series status update::

"Beautiful Black Widow" :: As the winner of the vote, this one got as much of my "priority" time as I could give it. It is completed up to the start of Chapter 5.

"Survival Instincts" :: I was a tad farther along in this one already, but it didn't get a lot of attention. Completed up to about half-way through Chapter 6.

"Bitter Tempest" :: This is the fiction that was requested of me on my archive. =^__^= Set to be only 5 chapters long (requesters limit), it is completed up to the start of Chapter 3. I'll put Chapter 1 up as soon as I can.

The Secret Series :: Coming along nicely.

There's also a number of oneshots in the works, plus the constant badgering from my best friend to complete the Miyavi/Ruki "What if...?" trilogy. Not sure if I can bring myself to do it, but I'll try. >___<

For now, though, I've got unpacking and organizing to complete, and only tomorrow to really focus on it before the monthly inspection by the landlady on the 22nd. x__x I'll be at work that day. BLARGH!

Lovles to mah Readers!

My return may be farther off than we thought. >__< My stepfather is being a right asshole about things, so I don't know when/if I'll get access in my bedroom at the house. Still borrowing the neighbor's computer, but I won't update from it. -__- Kinda weird, ya know?

As it is, I'm not as far along in my writings as I'd like to be. Between job hunting/getting a job/working and building/moving into our new house, I've been too wasted (energy wise) to do much. That doesn't mean that there's not been progress. Just... not a lot.

Oh, and my birthday is tomorrow (9/17). I'll be 25 fucking years old... and he STILL treats me like a useless child.

I feel some angst coming on...


I love you all, my Readers.

Hello my dear, much loved Readers,

I wasn't aware until 2 days ago that the temporary housing my parents and I are living in (until their house is built and I can get my own place) is not internet ready. So, my posting will be... never. I do apologize profusely. -___-

I WILL be working on the series I've got started, "BBW" mostly, and the rewrite of "PYHO" while I'm away. So there's that to look forward to, right?

All I ask is that you leave me some wonderful love while I'm away. Please? My access will be sketchy at best until I've gotten a job, a place to live, and the money to afford net connection, and it would be totally awesome to come back to words of encouragement and love.

Then again...

I'll be around when I can.

Love,

~AVA~

And the winner is....

"Beautiful Black Widow"

~ Features the members of Dir en grey and the GazettE primarily, with appearances by members of Nightmare and solo artists such as Gackt, Chachamaru, Yoshiki, and Hyde.
~ Warnings:: MxM, Murder, Character Death, Language, Drug Use, Violence, Abduction, other Illegal Activities
~ Teaser Phrase:: There are two rules in this business: one, never turn down a job, and two, NEVER get involved with the mark.
~ Summary:: Uruha is an assassin, dedicated and the best at what he does. His front is an editor for a very successful montly webzine that specializes in all things entertainment that was created and is run by Shinya. Uruha has an unearthly beauty and an uncanny ability to make anyone fall in love with him, so he's code named Black Widow for a reason. There has yet to be a job that he's failed... until now.
Enter Chachamaru, former business partner of Kaoru, who believes that he has been wronged. He approaches Shinya to employ Black Widow's services and hands him an assignment that might be more difficult that he's ever faced.
Will Uruha make the mark, or will he let his heart dictate his actions?
Progess:: Prologue (found here-- [link] ), Chapters 1 & 2 complete, Chapter 3 in progress

On a vote of 3 - 2, from all of FIVE votes (slightly disappointing, but hey, my Readers have lives too)... "BBW" is the next big project to be completed.

I hope you're all looking forward to this as much as I am. Currently, it's scheduled for 11 chapters, plus an Epilogue to close out the Prologue. But yah, we know how I roll. So we'll see.

Let's all enjoy ourselves!
