Beyond Redemption

Monday was a good day, a GREAT day. 😀

First off, it was Little Kikyou’s birthday and I celebrated it by getting her a new iPod Nano (the one with the camcorder), and a huge cake from her favorite bakery. For those not in the know, she’s the one I always mention that got me into IY. I call her Lil Kikyou because guess who’s her fave? >.> Anyway, she really enjoyed her gifts and that put me in a great mood. Next weekend I’ll probably take her to Coney Island. I’ve been promising Kau some goodies from there anyway, so I’ll kill two birds with one stone since I have a b-day gift pkge to send her.

The next best part of my day was logging into Deviant Art and getting not one, but two fanarts gifted to me. Made. My. Fucking. Day. The first was from the sweet, Kittygirl. She made some art for me once before of Jaden from Ever After. This time, it was a pic of Kagome from The Neighbor. Really cute stuff and totally dark with lots of “blood”. LOL. Have some peekage!

The next one really sent me into a squeeing frenzy. It was from my girl, T, a.k.a LonelyDusk. I don’t think this pic even requires a fucking intro…

Is that pretty or what? I think y’all know how much I love Human IY, so yeah, I think I screeched sufficiently. 😀 These babes seriously rock; they know how to cheer a Grrrl up big time!

I also got my commission back from Ayamegusa for “Love Like Winter“. To say it’s anything less than the fucking awesome would be a gross understatement. The image itself is massive, so I cut it down some. This is the copy I posted at my gallery with my automatic watermark, but I think you can still see how much detail she put into it. I gave her references for everything, even the ballroom, and she just tore it up. Fucking squee.

Yeah. Great fucking day, Monday was. 😀

As for updates, well, I’ve been doing some of a different nature. I know you guys will be like, WTF? I’m waiting on [insert fic] so hurry the fuck up!!! LMAO. I sowwwwwwwy!! I got the bug and couldn’t help myself! For the longest time I’ve been wanting to clean up my story, Amber. It’s the fic I wrote in 2005, all in one day, based on the movie “Somewhere in Time”. It’s my favorite movie of all time, and I’ve always felt awful about the way I wrote that story. I’ve grown as an author in many ways and I really want to make that story a better read. So, that’s what I’m doing.

Now, I’m not changing much of what was written. I was pretty inexperienced back then, and I want to keep that inexperience. I think an author’s work should show some growth between the very old and the very new. However, the grammar, sentence structure, and shit like that really needs overhaul. I’m also expanding some parts (like the lemon) and filling a few plot holes that I overlooked back then. I’m about to start on chapter 5 (that’s where I am at this point), but it shouldn’t take me too long since I did 4 chapters in 2 nights. I only have 11 real chaps in total, so yeah. Should be quick.

Why am I telling y’all this? Because that’s the hold up on why I haven’t updated anything else yet. Don’t fret, though. I have definite plans to update my current fics. I’m not as horribly busy as I thought I’d be. I’m finding that I can squeeze in a bit more time for writing, so that’s what I intend to do. 😀

I also have a new poll up, so vote! The last poll was interesting. Most of you (who actually voted) have been with me between 2 and 4 years -pretty cool. Though, there were a couple that signed on from way back when and I find that just O.O Speaking of, June 16th marks my 5th year of IY fandom/writing. Holy Fucking Shit. That’s kind of nuts. Who’d have thought I’d still be into IY all this time later? With all that has happened to me, and around me, since I got here, that’s a pretty fucking huge accomplishment. Party time! 😛

Aight, I’m ghost! Enjoy the week!
