Welcome all!
Hello!
I am extremely pleased that you've swung by my humble blogs. It's been an age since I've last posted here...I've been so busy! Work is a pain...but I'm glad I have it...not many can say that nowadays...
.
Fruits Basket fanfiction is still the hobby I splurge time on when all is quiet at night. It's great work and I'm thrilled it's progressing well. Feel free to look up my new material HelloKat Fanfic Page
!
For those looking to see if my Bleach fanfiction will ever see the light of day in updates, I am BEGGING for your patience!
I am at a crucial point in my Furuba fanfic, and it's taking much of my time and muse to push it forward. Once I'm over the 'hump', I'll be very happy to get back to it! Has anyone seen recent manga releases? It's lookin' pretty cool!
Thanks to all for driving by this end of the world...stay safe in yours!

First Bleach fanfic out the door!
Yes! I'm thrilled!!!!
And slightly confused... 
I'm thrilled my first fanfiction outside of Fruits Basket is finally released. It's not going to be an intricate plotline like my Furuba fics, but mainly it's more like a snapshot of events that have happened to Hitsugaya Toushiro in the past. It kind of evolved to be a bit more so that it has some sense of plot, but not too much. It'll be good though, promise!
I'm also confused...why did FFnet set up my story to be so shoddy? How embarrassing!
I didn't mean for the typos to show up like they did, so I apologize to any who see them...I'm usually so good at catching that stuff. Unless FFnet is being a complete pain in my rear for posting it all wrong. Anyway, the main mistakes are fixed...hopefully it'll be better on the eyes!
I'm also stunned at the immediate response to my fic. One reviewer was slightly confused on a small part of it, but I'm sure her/his answer will be showing up in future chapters. The mystery is there so really it's a matter of the reader to discern what's going on.
Another reviewer though caught me way off guard...I almost laughed at its absurdity. I have no idea what he/she/it meant by any of it (it was Luscius something or other Malfoy under the anonymous brand--typical pathetic flamer) since it was written with nonesense, but I reported it to FFnet for removal. If it's still up there, take a look and let me know what you guys think of the useless comment! http://www.fanfiction.net/r/3789076/0/1/
Besides all this, I'm happy and good to go with researching a few things for my Furuba fanfic. It was a struggle at first, but now my muse is happy! Yeah!

Bleach Fandom
Damn this blogger!!!! I just wrote a good one and it dumped it!!!!! DAMMIT!!!!!
Before I place a hex on this website, how is everyone? Good I hope...oh, a shout out to whom have viewed and commented on my pics. They're awesome, right?!
Okay, let's talk BLEACH. Yep, I've fallen for another fandom. Although the fandom for Fruits Basket is waning somewhat, I am still writing up my fic for it...SOS will be finished, so no worries peeps! I just need to expand my creative juices to other levels--it's my way of venting stress related to my heavy-handed fanfic for Fruits Basket.
Back to Bleach...yeah, the character I'll be focusing my next fic is Hitsugaya Toushiro. Why? Oh come on, just look at the character and the answer is obvious! Adorable yet lethal...gorgeous! And of course his personality appeals to the penwriter in me.
So in the next few days (please return to me my beloved Internet at home--doing it here at work is just not worthwhile!), I'll be posting the fic for the Bleach fandom at my FFnet account and at some LiveJournal comms when I'm allowed. We'll see how well it's accepted!
Here's holding my breath...I'm going in a different direction for the first time since I started fanfic writing in 2004. This is scary! -
I used to be so consistent...
It's been this kind of week or two since I last ranted. SO BUSY AT WORK! No fun...
Anyway, for those of my dear readers awaiting on my next SOS chapter release, I'm SO SORRY!!!!
I really meant to release this before my vacation, but work and energy were against me. It's coming along fine with no real problems putting it together...heck the main outline was put together back in 2004/2005!
Nah, it's just time I've been short on and now with vacation, it'll be a while more. I'm SO SORRY!!!
But fret not, you'll be very pleased at the content and length of the chapter! It'll be worth the wait!

SOS ch50 out the door!
I'm so thrilled to get that one out the door! It's tough to put a fic together for as long as I have. I'm beginning to feel the burden! I'm thankful for the reviews/responses I get...it keeps me going!
Now I have to work on getting Sei's edited chapters up in ffnet. That won't be pretty...fanfiction.net is very finicky about uploads & editing. Mmorg was much easier to update...ah well, it must be done!
I also have a few one-shots in the making that I need to finish up. It'll be great...I really like them!
I love my music...I hear it all day and during rush hour traffic! Japanese/spanish/english...it's all gravy to me!

SOS Chapter 50 coming!
Yessiree! I've got it done...barely!
I'm on the final proofread and then my usual author notes and voila! Hope to release this soon, like later today.
Man, it's been hectic around here! Hardly time to say hello and say many things about absolutely nothing. Terrible...
Anyway, to my fanfic readers, I hope you like this frilly chapter. Good stuff but mostly just an intro to the next chapter. Chapter 51...phew, that one has been in my thoughts for many a month! Yukiru moment for sure that was set up since back in 2004 when I started the fic!
Okay, I'll be going now, but be sure to read my writing! TTFN! H'kat -
Progress is slow but getting there!
SOS ch50 is coming along a lot more slowly than I had hoped. This mainly due to my lack of motivation, as I've stated many a time before that it's a constant problem of mine. Why couldn't I just be down with the 'writer's block' or some kind of plague like gingivitis? Those are easier to fix than the lack of motivation, at least, I think so!
Well, anyway, I also work on some side fics that I hope to release soon after ch50. I hope you like them...they're more of the same kind as the last ones. I love writing stories involving Yuki/Akito as children in my SOS world. Granted I'm way off canon manga now, I'm happy to indulge in my own fantasy of 'what if' with these two remarkable characters from Furuba.
Latest buzz is that vol23 of Fruits Basket is out in Japan next month along with a second fanbook. Pooo, I want them, if only the fanbook! So not fair that we're way behind the times in the US. Just as well, though. I've not followed Furuba since around the time of the school play which we've now just caught up here in the US. I won't spoil anything for anyone beyond this point because I did read up on summaries of various chapters since then, but trust me, my memory slips away very easily.
I'm happy with how SOS world is turning out...a complete deviation from canon manga, but also it supports the ideals of its characters. At least, I hope so!
Well, that's enough blurbs from me for now. I'll catch ya all later!!!

Spring Cleaning...Kind of
Man, I did't realize just how much manga I've collected over the years. Some series have recently finished, and their lengthy volumes take up way too much space under my bed.
Alas, I'm off to a book store that sells used books. They state they'll get me a price on them based on demand & such, but I'm not expecting anything more than a dollar for each of 'em. Bummer. Seriously, the price on manga is high, & when I start counting how many volumes I have versus the dollars spent on each one...
Shocking. But if it weren't for the gripping stories, or just the plain ol' fun ones, I'd never have bought them to begin with. Oh well...
Let me remember...Kare Kano, Kare-First Love, Gundam Seed, Yugioh (1st series), Sengoku Night, Juvenile Orion, Wolf Rain...there's more but I forget.
And the ones I'm keeping are Rurouni Kenshin...yep, all 28 volumes. Then there's Alice 19th, Imadoki, Fruits Basket v1-15, Descendents of Darkness v1-11, Suki-A Like Story. I have tons others that I'm still collecting, too! Prince of Tennis, Cross Road, Bleach...too many to think of anymore.
Man...I have a lot of variety in manga. Well, it was fun reading them!

Progress on SOS ch50
Wow! I actually wrote up a good page or two last night! I'm very pleased with this 'progress', though it's a far cry from what I'll end up releasing to the public. I tried to keep it light and fluff, but my fingers have a mind of their own, too, so don't be too surprised to see angsty moments as well.
It seems that many liked my SOS ch49 with the instant messaging scene. Heh, I had not anticipated that! Maybe I'll do another one...maybe...
Well, I'll be off for the weekend, hopefully making further progress with this chapter! I think I'm out of my rut! TTFN, folks!

Anime I follow...
Okay, to be quick since I've no time today to chit-chat, one I saw over the weekend is Trinity Blood.
This anime is based on a novel by a deceased Japanese writer. I've picked up the manga as well (vol 1) but after comparing the two, I preferred the anime (so far). Maybe because the manga was a little hard to follow with the dialogue...maybe.
Anyway, the anime has spectacular graphics and characters. My favorite is Aeon (spelling off I'm sure), a young vampire that is very aware to much of the world's deceits and hates, but still carries an innocence that is so refreshing. Strange, but it works on the boy!
Anyway, that's my take. What's yours?
