Updates
For anyone who's wondered what I've been up to for the past...longer than I want to say...your questions are answered.
Yes, I hopped on the webcomic bandwagon. It might not look like much yet, but this project is nearer & dearer to my heart than my fanfiction. I would love to know what you think.
Also I got a quite cute fanart for "The Promise of Nightmares" - wai, wai!
No, it's not April Fool's, we're a day past that. And no, the Apocalypse has not come. But on Uncontained! can now be found Part 2 - the end - of Flashback. I say so in the ending author's note but I would like to repeat it here - thank you, anyone who ever wrote an e asking me to finish that story. I couldn't have done it without you. Hope you enjoy it! As always, I'd love to hear from you if you do.
A couple new stories up. On Uncontained! can be found my story Killed in Action, which I wrote several years ago for the RGB zine Ghostwriters. There is one more story from Ghostwriters which I should be posting shortly. And the end of "Flashback" too. I still remember. Honest.
On Miscellany I've posted a short Lord of the Rings story, Over Sea. It is a coda to the book trilogy, and gratuitously sappy. But hey, go reread the books - Tolkien is one of the absolute masters of smarm and h/c. If you haven't read them, forget fanfic and lose yourself in Middle-earth. Then go see the movie. Peter Jackson's film interpretation is fantastic. And The Two Towers is less than 11 months away. Whoo-hoo!
Anyone who visited my pages in the last week might have noticed a teeny problem, that being, said pages were not there. This was an issue with my web host; I think - I hope - it's been resolved and won't happen again, at least not for so long a time. Nothing on the Net is certain, of course, but keep your fingers crossed. If you tried to email me, your message may or may not have reached me. I couldn't access that email last week, and while I recovered a few messages today at least a couple failed to come through. Try again if your mail bounced back (if it didn't but you haven't heard from me in another week or so, please send it again!)
As far as content updates go, I am still writing, but I don't have as much time for fanning as I might wish, between full-time employment, real life, and a few other projects (one of which should hit the web soon, I hope...)
If you hail from Uncontained!, yes, I am still going to finish Flashback. As proof I offer you this, the next 10 pages of the story (as posted on the RGBSmarm list a few months ago) I'm putting the link here as a prize for those who actually came to this page; when the end is complete the whole thing will officially be posted on the page in simple yet snazzy HTML.
Flashback, pt 2-A
That's it for now. I'll leave you with my newest favorite character, the only rock superstar in the world whose favorite off-stage activity is playing with his stuffed toy. Don't worry, Ryuichi won't bite...at least, not hard...
Here we go again...Crosswinds ran into serious difficulties, so I took the big step and finally got my own domain. Athena willing, if the 'Net stays alive, this should be where I'll be, at www.xmagicalx.net. I think I've updated everything, please let me know if anything is amiss!
