Camphor & Kouki

New Chapter! As part of my fandom anniversary celebrations, I decided to update Camphor & Kouki, which is a crossover between My Neighbor Totoro and Mushishi. I don’t update it nearly as often as I could if I wasn’t … y’know … writing the Amaranthine Saga & Songs of the Amaranthine stories. ::shifty eyes::

Camphor and Kouki by FORTHRIGHT

Summary: Ginko regrets using the Uroana as a shortcut. He’s having trouble pinpointing where he’s come out, and he’s at a loss on how to get back. But in the meantime, perhaps he can do some good. A trail of acorns, a camphor tree, two sisters, a mushishi, and a highly unconventional mountain master.

Kagome, Kagome

FanArt. I just rummaged through my folders. You wouldn’t believe how much fanart I have. Some sketches. Some portraits. Everything in between and in every kind of style. I still remember the breathless joy I felt over my first gift of art in fandom. And I’ll still always be amazed when my stories inspire the stuff. Here’s a fun set. You know these AUs, amiright? ::twinkle::

LMM 53: First Come, First Served

Claimer: I do hereby claim all rights and responsibility for the characters in this series of vignettes because the Amaranthine Saga is mine.

Fandom Anniversary

Est. 2006. My first foray into fiction writing happened (rather appropriately) with a drabble. Posted to fanfiction.net on this day thirteen years ago, My Hero! makes today a milestone day. I count it as my fandom anniversary. Over the years, I’ve made it my tradition to kick off or update stories on this day.

Planning to post fun stuff today.
Just me goofin’ off. Same as always.

Play fair. Have fun. Be nice.
