Beyond Redemption – Five Candles…

Five Candles…

Well, here we are. Five years, 70 fictions (71 now), 17 websites, and a big ball of drama, both good and bad.

When I started writing, I never foresaw all of this. I expected to write out a few ideas and have a little fun in this newly-discovered thing called InuYasha. But then it turned into… this. And that’s not to say this bumpy ride has been shitty. Nope, being in the IY fandom has taught me tons of shit, but I won’t bore y’all with it. I’ll just say that I’ve quoted this before and it still holds true:

“You could be anywhere in the world, but you’re here with me. I appreciate that.”

For my 5th anniversary as InuGrrrl, I decided to treat myself with 3 new skins. 2 of them are for The Neighbor and 1 for Hikari. 😀 All of the headers were created by my home slice, Neo, (Including the new header on this blog) and you know when she touches it you get gold! I hope y’all enjoy them (Remember, to see them, you’ll need to use the skin changer on the homepage.).

I’ve also ordered an anniversary plushie from Notoes with a hand drawn face by Maria. He’s for The Neighbor (Mixed with a bit of Ayamegusa’s gift art), and he’s going to be the cutest little thing. He’s even got nipple rings! 😛

Last, but not least, I’ve posted the prologue of a new fiction. I wrote this a while ago, but I think now is a good time to start it. It’s very short -below 10 chapters- and a rather simple love story, but I think I’ll like penning it. I have no idea why I keep writing fluff-oriented shit when that’s clearly not my forte, but I came up with the plot ages ago. Maybe I was fluffier then. lol.

I’m finishing up The Neighbor and a couple of others. My hope is to have something new for y’all by the weekend. I’m in that “wrap it up” mood again, so I really want to work on lingering stories. The last time I said that, I actually closed out 3 of them, so wish me luck!

And finally, I give y’all my thanks. There were so many times I wanted to walk away from my writing, my hobby, my enjoyment because I was letting trolls get to me. But because you guys stuck it out, I stuck it out, and here we are. 5 years and we’re still doin’ dat shit!

Thanks for making them so memorable. <3
