SR: Second Semester

Every time I think of "second semester" I think of School Rumble season 2. haha [/random]

Organizing my work a bit/projects I've started on and have yet to finish:

ONESHOT REQUESTS!!!
-I opened oneshot requests in December and still have yet to actually finish one. [/unsmiley] I have a Shuuhei oneshot to write for a fellow Quizillian, then someone sent me 3 requests. I don't remember what all they were but I believe one was for Byakuya.. But I opened them for the Quotes for the Lovers challenge (which I started over a year ago! LOL) and a new "lyric" challenge." The only oneshot I've written for the lyrics challenge was a TYL Lambo oneshot as a Christmas present to myself, but even then I omitted one of the lyrics to the challenge and put in one from a song that I wanted.

Sonata of the Storm 7
I've actually been working on this, but I'm stuck. I need a way to relay new information into the story without it being written so monotonously.

A Cruel Angel's Thesis:
Although I've dropped this story, I think I'm going to take the basic plot and turn it into a TorixRenji story instead of a TorixIchigo story. It's just so hard for me to picture IchixOC stories, and I've never written a Renji fic before, so I'll have to write one at some point or another.

Quotes for the Lovers challenge:
Oh my GAWWWWDDDD.
This challenge is a menace. (But a challenge is a challenge for a reason, right?) I'd like to write something OTHER than pairing fics with it, but the quote prompts don't allow for any of that. All I can think of for those oneshots are things that I've already written and it's such a pain.

Winter Wonderland:
My own challenge and I've still only written for like 3 or 4 chapters of it. Jeez, I made the challenge myself over a year ago and I still can't bring myself to finish it!

As Daylight Dies:
No ideas for the next chapter. All I know is that it's from Simmons' POV

Disturbia:
I lost myself in this story. I got too caught up in the Twilight bashing that I ended up not following the main points I set for myself. I may have to rewrite the four chapters I have written, but I keep getting so many happy reviews from my reviewers that I can't bring myself to do it. That is the only story I keep getting constant reviews/favorites/author alerts for. Not even SOTS gets that much attention.

Speaking of SOTS, someone asked me the other day why I made 14 court guard squads instead of keeping the normal 13. The answer is that when I first started writing for Sayuri, I was 16 and wanted to make her a captain in the end. Essentially, all of Breaking Through the Storm was written to set up for her captaincy and the rest of her life in Sonata of the Storm. I didn't want her to be captain of the 3rd, 5th, or 9th squads because I feel like the 3rd is cursed, I wanted the 5th to belong to Ichigo (yes, I determined they would be twins from the start), and 9th seems SOOOOOOOOOO cliché in HitsuxOC stories where the OC is a captain. I also wanted to give her a vice-captain of my own making (originally would have been Mitsuki, but ended up being Tatsuya), and I could not do that if I put her in an existing squad because all I would be hearing about it would be a bunch of bitching and moaning from the extreme canon fans. I also think my favorite HitsuxOC fic at the time was xoxoskittles' Wish Upon A Star, and her OC (Yuki, was it?) was the captain of the 14th squad. I think that story had a big impact on what I was doing.

[/end rant -back to organizing]

The Wrath of Adelais:
My only original story and I still haven't gotten any further than the first chapter. I think it's because I want to make it all philosophical sounding and futuristic with an Eureka Seven tendency. I haven't spent much time on it, but the time I have spent has been reorganizing my ideas and rewording the first chapter to be "perfect."

Hmmm haven't updated SP in a long time. I just might do that by critiquing some more of "Forbidden Kiss" *rolls eyes* manhwa... jeez.

Ciaosu! :)
