On release day for Tsumiko and the Enslaved Fox back in February, I marked the occasion by adding to Imperceptible (an IY fanfic), which was one (very long) chapter shy of completion. Looking ahead to the release of Kimiko and the Accidental Proposal, I’ve been sifting through my options.
- Affinity [IY x YYH crossover] is certainly the closest to an ending. I could probably wrap that up.
- Tolerable [IY, Mir&Sess] is due for one more story arc before I’d call it finished.
- NEW STUFF [various] because it’s hard to resist contributing to fandoms old and new. I have notes that could shape up rather quickly into a oneshot or short serial for … Naruto, Spirited Away, The Ancient Magus’s Bride, Natsume Yuujinchou, and a Mushishi crossover that I dare not even *try* to explain. It’s best just to let that one … happen. ::twinkle::
On a related note, I found outlined scenes for a Miroku x Kagome serial that I’d completely forgotten about. They’re my “official” OTP in the InuYasha fandom because that’s where I started. Nostalgia!
So … what freebie fic do you think I should play with? (Bearing in mind that I’ll be well into writing the third book in the Amaranthine Saga when Bk2 releases, so my time for fandom goofing will be limited.)
Affinity!!!! I’ve been rewatching YYH, which made me want to reread Affinity, which made me sad that it wasn’t complete. I’d been thinking of asking if it would ever get an update, but I hate to be demanding when it comes to free fanfics.

I know it wasn’t one of those listed (and I love all of your works) but any possibility of having something on “Unexpected”? I so love the interactions and set in the school. I’ve been waiting and waiting wondering how Kagome will finally learn about InuYasha and Shippo… sigh. Love that story line. Lol.
But now I find in reviewing all my favorites I need to read them all again. Lol. Tolerable would be a good one. And I have to say I have never seen nor read Affinity. I checked fanfiction site and it’s not listed. Where can I find this story?
And when does Book 2 come out? I need a reminder and I need to make sure I have it under pre-order status. 🙂
Thank you, Rhonda

Oh, I knew someone would ask for one of the novel-length fics. I don’t really have time to pick up Unexpected right now. In my quest to finish all my fandom tales, it’ll eventually get a turn.
Affinity is on my secondary fandom account. I hardly remember why I decided to publish non-IY fanfics as “forthrlghtly,” but there you go. Click the tab on this site for FANFICS (MISC), and the IY x YYH crossover is there.
I’ve narrowed the release of Kimiko and the Accidental Proposal (Amaranthine Saga, #2) to “October-ish.” Believe me, I’ll post once the date’s set and pre-order is possible.

A couple of those newbies would translate well to 100-word drabbling, so I may save them for future blog posting. (Once Mood Stripes is done.) But the others are of the longish short-story variety. With outlines, scene notes, and titles. I’m doomed.

LOL Rewatching always gets entertaining, especially if you want the dub like I do since there are two different cuttings, but same voice actors.

YYH is one of the few anime that I have to watch dubbed. Mostly because that’s how I first watched it, early on in my exploration of anime. But also because when I went back and tried to watch it subbed (which I now prefer), I choked the minute Kurama started talking.
…I made it to the first “rosuuu whipuuu” and crept back to the dub.
I have similar problems with Fruits Basket and Yuki Sohma. ::wibble::

Oh my goodness! I think everyone would be happy with anything you choose to upload, myself included, but I always favour dusting off things waiting for endings. That said, I think that something for The Ancient Magus Bride would be a wonderful new addition to add to your fic collection and you can never go wrong with anything Ghibli.

Oh, my! No, I’m crossing Mushishi with a single other-universe, not ALL THE THINGS. I’m trying for something a little more … plausible.

Actually, I lied. My crossover bends too many rules and blends two disparate art styles to pretend to be plausible. But if I can suspend your disbelief for a scene or two, you’ll be hooked! ::twinkle::

I think going from closest to completion would be best. ❤ Admittedly, I'd LOVE to see some Ancient Magus' Bride stuff from you, but I think these landmark posts should continue with the idea of finishing things. You're finishing a book! It's going on SALE! I think celebrating by finishing old things that have been longing for an ending is the most appropriate. ❤

Affinity! please oh please will you finish that one! I read that story all the time even though it isn’t complete. That crossover has lost a lot of its former popularity, unfortunately. I actually discovered you in that fandom before finding your pure IY works because I mostly just read IYYYH, so Affinity is a special story to me.

My 2nd vote goes to Spirited Away if you’re into HakxChihiro ship as well. That fandom is sooo good, it’s a shame it’s small one.
By the way, thank you very much for spoiling us with your quality freebie fics. I swear I’d buy and promote the shizzle out of Book 2! I’m so excited I just want to wake on the release date lols
