WHO MISSED ME?! Hell, who still remembers me? Well, I'm alive and hopefully I'll be back in action soon! I've been writing, even without any internet. I've moved to Texas after my divorce but life is settling down again. Hopefully I will have internets in my home soon so I can post the gazillion chapters I have sitting on my hard drive.

Guess what? Caught in the Sun is completed. So is Northern Lights.

I just wanted to check in. Where's everyone at? How are you?! Tell me EVERYTHING!!!!!

Peace out, much love! Talk to you soon!

I know, don't die of shock. I've updated The Brat Pack with Chapter Five. Its taking a slightly different turn, but I rather like this chapter.

*smooches*!

Keep an eye out for an XMB update either today or tomorrow :D

So, I've decided to once again get back into the RPG thing. (Its a sickness, I swear)

For any of my Harry Potter lovers out there, I'm helping to create a new game that'll open at the end of July or the beginning of August. If you're interested, let me know. Its a journal-style game running alongside our current time period.

I must be crazy. Seriously.

Holy shitballs! Gainee finally updated! *falls down dead*

That's right. I'm back and here's Chapter Four of Northern Lights. I'm very happy with this chapter.

So, vote. Which of my WiPs next? Caught in the Sun for you Pete/Ali fans? A little Shatter? Some X-Men: Beginings for those movieverse-my-way peeps? Or the goofiness that is The Brat Pack? Even the one-shot outtake for Beast/Trish out of Tell Me?

You decide and let me know.

*squee* Damn, I've missed this shit!

Yep, you read that right. I actually got an update done. It's short, but there it is. I actually like this chapter. I think I got the disjointed feeling right...and Warren/Kitty...yum.

Anyway, here's Chapter Seven for those still reading. =)

Now I'm going to start an XMB chapter!

( Quizzes! )

Ok. Now I'm gonna go write. I feel some Ali/Piotr comin' on.

Say it ain't so! Goodbye Capt

WAH! I read this as I head out to work. I'm gonna go cry now.

Shatter has been updated at the Realm with Chapter Six

This was a fun one for me. Lots of plotty stuffs. *rubs hands eagerly*

I've got a new fic out now. I know, I'm nuts. Anyway, this is a comedic look at a younger group of X-Men. I'm playing with the 'verses here and having a ball. Lets see how long I can keep it fun and fluffy, even if the first chapter establishes some pained background.

A warning cause someone will yell if I don't warn: there is some homosexual content in this fic in the form of femmeslash. I'm not entirely certain if there will be femmeslash smut, but if there is I'll make sure you can skip it without missing anything.

Ok, so particulars:

Title: The Brat Pack

Fandom: X-Men (mixed verse)

Genre: Comedy, Romance

Characters: Storm, Wolverine, Psylocke, Dazzler, Cyclops, Jean Grey

Rating: NC-17

Warnings: Adult situations, adult language, sexual content, femmeslash

Summary:A nearly-satirical look at life at Mutant High. Logan is introduced to the wild and spunky duo of Dazzler and Storm a year after he comes to the mansion. For a man always sure of himself, something about Storm knocks him off kilter and endagers his relationship with Jean Grey.

The Brat Pack

My computer has a really bad virus, so I'll be shutting down shortly and wiping the entire frigging thing. Shouldn't take that long, but I have to wait until my hubby gets home so he can help me. (I'm horribly inept at computer functions. Once the damn thing is on and running, I'm good. Fixing it...not so much)

But, it'll give me some time to play with that fluffy piece I promised everyone. Don't snort too loudly! I'm going for slapstick comedy and fluffy romance. It might even be inspired by Avril's "Girlfriend". I have this image of Ro sorta breaking up Jean and Logan. (Yeah, they'll be younger. ha) Just something I'm playing with.

And I'm anxiously awaiting Windy's writing. *taps foot* ;)

I hate computer viruses.

X-Men: Beginnings has been updated with Chapter 3

I love a sweet, friendly Jean. I've missed her. *squidges*

I've updated Shatter with Chapter Five.

I'm soooo in love with my Angel. Damn, need a Kitty icon ;)

Tired, achy and trying to get sleepy.

( I did quizzes )

Damn those things are addicting. *glares at vabrella

Here's a one-shot that I completed that goes along with One Man's Worth. I sat down to write Shatter this morning and wound up with this. I'm warning you, it's a damn tear-jerker.

Fandom: X-Men (Movieverse)

Title: What Hurts the Most

Rating: PG-13

Genre: Pure and complete angst

Warnings: Mention of character death

Characters: Colossus

Summary: Piotr Rasputin comes to terms with the bittersweet victory over the Brotherhood. A "Missing Moment" from my fic One Man's Worth. This takes place between the final battle and the last scene.

Notes: I actually wept while writing this. No, I'm not exaggerating. I literally had to write it though the tears pouring down my cheeks. I guess Piotr needed his last say. Man, this needs a hankie-alert on it if you're a Piotr/Ali fan from OMW.

( What Hurts the Most )

The X-Men and all related places, mutations, and people are not mine. Marvel owns them. No profit is being made from this work of angsty fiction and no copyright infringement is intended.

Welp, the muse hit with that 2x4 today, so I've wrapped up One Man's Worth as well. I know I'm posting twice in one day, but both One Man's Worth and Tell Me deserve separate goodbye notes.

One Man's Worth started as a whim and spin swiftly out of control. playing with time usually gives me a migraine, but I adored writing the stoic Bishop, antagonistic RoLo, and of course, my fantastic four that consist of Bobby, Kitty, Piotr, and Alison.

Though this ending is bittersweet and literally brought me to tears, I believe it is fitting to the story. With all the talk of Fate and life, it seemed just right, if heartbreaking.

This fic was wild for me, I breeched several of my own limitations and came out feeling satisfied. It even gave birth to a ship I'd never considered and it's own odd "spin-off" Caught in the Sun.

Its sad to say goodbye to two casts in one day, but I feel good about it. Actually, I'm a little gloomy. My painter friend once told me that every time he sells a painting, part of him hates it. Maybe that's what's going on. I've never finished so much in one day and I feel a little lonely with the casts out of my head.

Thus far, I'm not planning sequels for either Tell Me or One Man's Worth. I feel I've done all I can with both stories. Unlike Fade I feel done.

Thanks to every reader, every reviewer, every comment that kept me going. Thank you all, so much.

92,908 words. 22 chapters. Characters that I've loved and bled for.

Tell Me is officially finished. I'm proud of this story, of what I accomplished with it. I'll miss my darling Hank and his fiery Trish. I've enjoyed writing maternal Storm and her loving Wolverine. There are scenes in this fic that I will always look back on, wondering how I managed to get the emotions right.

Next to Fade this is my favorite fic that I've written. Its sad for me to end it, but I've done all I wanted to do with it.

So, thanks to all of you who read, reviewed and gave me encouragement. It's been one hell of a ride.

Thank you.

Finally. Got One Man's Worth updated with Chapter 20 today. Didn't go as I planned, but I rather like it.

Only one chapter left for it and now I think I'll go wrap up Tell Me as Hank is bugging me about it ;)

My muse decided to hit me with a 2x4 so, here's the next chapter of X-Men: Beginnings

Chapter 2

I love Scott. That is all.

X-Men: Beginnings

Yep, I started a new fic. Yep, I'm nuts. But, this'll be fun. I'm re-writing the first X-men movie in a RoLo image and loving it. *sticks tongue out at Singer*

Summary: It happened in a flash. While the old man spoke of Magneto and mutants, Wolverine's eyes bore into the dark, turbulent gaze of the woman identified as Storm. He didn't know that moment would change his life forever.

Rating: R (18)

Warnings: Language, adult situations, sexual content (Not sure on this yet, but lets err on the side of caution)

Ships: Jean/Scott, Ororo/Logan, maybe some Marie/Bobby and mentions of Kitty/Bobby

Notes: I'm so insane. :)

Yep, I've just given Shatter its next update. Chapter Four does include a sexual scene that is not RoLo. Just a warning. I'm guilty of the "Logan can screw around but Ro is celibate" cliche and I wanted to smash that with Shatter.

Plus...Forge is sexy. *grin*

Finally, got a Tell Me update done. Chapter 21 is at the Realm. One more and that fic's done. Yay.

Now, I'm going to work on Shatter. Forge. Ro. Date. Mmmm.

I've updated One Man's Worth at the Realm with Chapter 19

I'm thinking only two more for this fic and Tell Me only needs about that to wrap up. Huh, I've noticed that nearly all my stories end at about 20 chapters. Weird.

Anyway, I'm trying to decide if I'm writing Tell Me, Shatter, Northern Lights or Caught in the Sun today. I basically have each chapter already in my head, so I'm just trying to decide which the muse wants more of...hrmm.

Oh and originalceenote new Give Me One Reason chapter...*DROOLS*

Edit: One Man's Worth just hit 200 reviews. I'm celebrating with wine and writing. Whoo!

Yep, I'm nuts. I just updated Northern Lights with Chapter Two

Now, I'm going to work on Shatter and Tell Me

My muse is in full swing apparently!

So, I've started a new fic. This one is a continuation of Fade.

Summary: It's been a wild ride. Twenty years together and they've settled. Never tamed, never complacent...but settled. Now, as their children come into their own, Storm and Wolverine are once again faced with the dangers of being mutants. And this time, they have a good deal more to lose.

If you'd like to catch up with the crew from Fade, you can find Northern Lights at the Realm.

I must be nuts.

Oh! And ICON LOVE!

Shatter just got an update that's been beating my brain all day. I'm pretty happy with it, actually.

Enjoy!

Now...hrmmm...kinda batting around an idea for something fluffy, fun, and light on angst. No one have a heart attack! ;)

*ponders*

I'm so insanely happy with this chapter.

I'm catching up! Yayness. Heeeee! Ok, so here's a new chapter for Shatter. I hope you all enjoy! Click me!

Now I have to decide if Caught in the Sun gets a new chappie before I go back to straight up RoLo. Hrmm. Decisions. I do want to get poor Piotr a bit more action...our little Daz is driving him to distraction. *evil kitty laughter*

Plus, I've got Tell Me and One Man's Worth both beating my brain in. Meeps! My muse has been jump started in the worst way.

And that new Ultimate cover...found here is just begging for a one shot. I think Reiko brought up the idea of a challenge...I like that idea.

Enough rambling from me. I'm gonna go reread Slow Burn and hope Windy gets some writing time soon!

Yes, party people, I finally got a One Man's Worth updated out. I'm actually proud of this chapter. Loads happening as things come to a head.

I'm oddly fascinated that the "supporting" characters in this fic have kinda taken over. Huh. I didn't expect that.

Enjoy!

Chapter 17

Because it'll take at least another day to finish up OMW's next chapter, here's a taste for those interested.

I'm such a dork =)
