At the footer of every Lord Charming update, I record the original posting date, the writing prompt, and the word count. The notations are a relic of my involvement in everything from the IYFG & LJ contest communities to Dokuga’s Drabble/Drawble Nights. But ever since I started updating Lord Charming again, I’ve had nothing but a lonely “N/A” on the prompt line. Let’s change that. Continue reading
I receive regular emails from readers letting me know that the art links on my FanFiction.net profile are broken. Frustrating, I know. Way back when I created that compilation, the site allowed exterior linking. Now, they do not. So I’m moving the list here. Continue reading
Fandom terminology can be hard to fathom and tricky to explain. I sometimes blurt out things while watching TV/movies, only to receive strange looks from the uninitiated.

He faints and wakes in their company…at the Uri-Shichiken Hana Machi. The men assume he’s ordinary enough, but they can’t exclude him when they envelope an area, and they can’t erase his memory. Chikahito wants an explanation, but the pretty kid grabs his hand, drags him out front, and kisses him. Continue reading
Fanfiction can be a risky business. Don’t you hate delving into a story only to discover that it’s a WIP? Waiting for that next chapter can be so… ugh! Lest I leave you story-stuck, here is a list of my completed tales (in no particular order) from the InuYasha fandom. As time allows, I’m hoping to pull more of my unfinished stories into this list.
