Beyond Redemption

WHAT’S UP, Y’ALL!!!!!!!!!!!! 😀

It’s been a few days, but your Grrrl is back and ready to catch y’all up on the happenings!

First off, the new chapter for The Neighbor has been posted, as is the new skin I promised. Maria did an outstanding job on InuYasha Emmanuel of Hikari and I couldn’t ask for anything more beautiful. The full pic is enormous, but let me just say that it’s absolutely exquisite. I’m going to post a small version with a heavy watermark because I’ve HAD IT with people stealing my commissioned pieces for personal use. The stuff I purchase is always for my websites, which makes them “commercial” and it grates my fucking nerves when people steal my headers and shit from right off my site, hence why there is a watermark on the new header. Not that it stops people. I had one using my gift art, art with my likeness and name on the character’s clothing, as a personal icon (cropped from one of my headers), so that goes to show what they’ll do.

May I present the angel we ALL wanna meet!

Again, sorry about the massive watermark and miniature size. I have no choice these days. But that’s not the only sliceof delish I wanna share! InuHanyouNikkie made me some birfday art!!

AND HE’S NAKED!!!!!!!

He’s pouring caramel sauce on himself and requesting that I lick it off. So.. if you’ll… excuse me… for…

*Comes back 6 hours later licking my fingers with with sauce on my chin*

How y’all doing…..? 😀

But seriously, she did a WONDERFUL job and I love all that nummy below the waist.
*laps it up with vigor*

Now, before I was distracted by the urge to suckle… <.< I was talking updates, right? Yeah... The Neighbor has been updated with chapter 9 and I’m writing Chapter 10 now. I’m overwhelmed by the positive response the story has received and kinda stunned at all of the reappearing faces. When you don’t hear from people for a long time, you automatically assume that they don’t read you anymore. Sad, but a fact of life. However, it seems that that isn’t the case for many. Apparently, they are around and just haven’t reviewed.

In any case, it’s really nice to see some of the people that have been with me since I started almost 5 years ago. Especially at a time when I’m debating my retirement date, because no, I won’t write fanfic forever. But before I hang up IY’s haori, or in my case, Yankee cap, 😛 I do want to get several more works out there. So many, many thanks to everyone who left my story some luv; it’s an awesome feeling to know that my work is still enjoyed.

I’ve decided that I probably won’t be touching any other stories until I finish The Neighbor. It’s not a long story at all, and we’re over the halfway point. Then I’m going to work on all the chapters that I mentioned a few threads ago that were close to being posted. I also want to work on a couple of fics that are near the end, and I think I’m putting Sengoku Medical Center to bed permanently. I’ve had a hankering or two for new chaps, but overall, I’ve lost too much interest in it to continue. I won’t delete it -you never know if I’ll revisit it someday just for my own sense of accomplishment- but there won’t be any continuance in the foreseeable future. Sorry if anyone was hoping I’d revisit it.

Pretty Brown Eyes will be completed, though, as it’s only a chapter left. It was supposed to be two, but I’m shortening it to one because I want it done. For me, at this point, it’s about ending the old fics and I don’t want to drag them out any further. Same for Edge of Seventeen; I’ll be finishing that final chap as soon as possible. Same goes for Love Like Winter. That one, though, is Nikkie’s giftfic, so there won’t be a rushed ending. It’s one of my faves and I’m going to end it in 2 chapters the way I planned to from the start. And you can add Loved to that list as well.

Hooray for a plan of action! ^_^

Okay, I’m out. Enjoy the eye candy!
