Just a Beat Out of Place

Alright, so finals are next week. I only have three of them, and then I'm going to be home, but I'd like to just announce right now that for the next week, I'm on a mini-hiatus. I've been slowly plucking away at some of the fics that I'm working on for the past while, but I am going to outright stop that for a bit so I can focus on studying.

I love all of you, just to let you know, and if you want to reach me to talk, my MSN is: purkleyoshi@hotmail.com, and my AIM is: zenellyrn. Feel free to come and chat with me any time. Also, my email should be listed on my profile.

THIS SAID, IF ANYONE FINDS ME ON TUMBLR, BERATE ME AND TELL ME TO GET OFF. I HAVE SHIT TO DO.

You might have noticed that I didn't post anything NaNo related. That's because I got stuck on the part I was writing, so I just time-skipped until I knew what was going on.

Which was HUGELY PLOT RELEATED

So I'll just leave off on the posting until I like a description or a passage or something.

Another thing. It has come to my attention that I'm a pretty bad LJ friend. I mean, I have a few people who take the time to comment on my fics, and I don't comment back on theirs (theplumtomato, bb, I love you, I just have a case of permanent shyness, and I'm getting over it) even though I read them.

I'M GOING TO FIX THAT.

Also.

um.

shit, forgot what I was going to say.

MY 21ST BIRTHDAY IS IN TWO WEEKS! TWO SUNDAYS FROM NOW, I WILL BE ABLE TO BUY BOOZE AND GO TO BARS, ETC.

but that wasn't what I was going to say.

Right, I promised all you fic people that I'd post the request fics that I've written here, didn't I. Well. Let me get on that, hm?

Summary: I'll let you know about that when I figure it out.
Things You Should Probably Know: Calais' name isn't pronounced like the French city of Calais (pronounced Cal-ay, as per French rules of dropping half the vowels and making up everything else). It is pronounced "Kah-LAY-is", and Syres is "SEAR-ez", in case you need to know. The city Filatsehren is "FEE-lat-SER-in". And no, I haven't spent too long on this, what are you talking about.

( Both of his arms are etched with the lines, red and stark like new wounds. But wounds aren't typically as carefully formed and smooth as these marks. There is a pattern to be seen somewhere in there. )

( He's a boy, barely has any muscle to 'im, yet he can fight and hold his own with the best of 'em when he doesn't eat and sleep? Smells like magic to me )

Haaaah...

Um. Yeah.

So. Prologue.

taadaaaaaa

I think it'll get more interesting from here on out?

Okay, once again, I've become really very bad at keeping in contact with everyone here, and I can promise you that this time, it's nothing bad. Just school and getting sick and getting blocked a little on that whole writing deal.

BUT.

All is well, as far as I know. It's been a month since everything's been completely settled, and today is a bit of a deciding day. We'll see how everything is in a few hours. Now, onto fic things.

The Twilight Between (Zemyx fic): Nothing new yet. Still writing Chapter 6, so no updates there.

69 Things that Turn You On (college Zemyx fic): HUGE BLOCK. But still going.

Just Conflict Me(Seifer/Hayner Masochism fic): Hey, this is the one that just updated, so nothing new on this.

Other various things that are in progress: All are in different stages of being written. But nothing will be unwritten!

Now, bad news.

I'm participating in NaNoWriMo, so I'm not going to be writing anything other than my Nano project during November. I'm sorta excited and sorta nervous because it's an original story I've been formulating in my head for the last ten years. (Yes that means that I started the story when I was 11, but it's gone under some huge changes since when it was just the story I told myself to go to sleep.) So I'm on a fic hiatus from November until December.

*flails* Oh god, I'm so nervous about writing this story. They're my babies, and I've worked on them for so long, and I'm not sure how well the rest of the world would take them.

How's everyone?
