May 24:
It's been a long couple of months for me, both online and in Real Life, and a tough couple of weeks are to follow. But in spite of that, I wanted to let you all know that yes, I am still here, and no, I have not abandoned writing.
By now, some of you might be familiar with the changes over at Yaoi House. Recently, I have been contacted by concerned readers regarding nasty things being suggested about me by certain other people involved with Yaoi House. However, I would like to officially state that I have decided to put the whole incident behind, completely dissociate myself from the aforementioned publishing company, and instead focus on my studies and my own writing.
Writing updates:
1) SBA is being edited and revised, and will be definitely be available in printed form sometimes in the (hopefully near) future.
2) Boys Next Door has a new Original stories section, and I am the first author archived there. I confess to being grateful for the honour. Many thanks to the girls over at BND! *hugs them*
3) June marks the beginning of my collaboration with a new company called SL Publishing Group. They will be running a subscription site with stories from Becca Abbott, Octavia Atlas, Heather Jan, Delilah deSora and myself. I shall make another announcement regarding them, including link and all, as soon as they are open for business. In the mean time, I can tell you more about the story I shall be writing for them. It is called "Silver Raven", and the plan is for me to put in at least two chapters per month, for which I will be getting paid; all funds resulted from this will go into my "publish SBA soon" fund (see above). If the story is suitable and there is interest in it, it will perhaps be published as a book by the same company.
Silver Raven
Summary: For years, warriors from the north have been raiding Hatameth, in search of an artefact that is said to bring about the restoration of the Fallen Empire. Brought together by a twist of fate, Ardashir and Sakar are dragged into a world ruled by violence and lust for power, in which their only possible saviour is the man that has captured them.
Warnings: violence, explicit sex, some non-con and punishment, possible threesomes
4) That doesn't mean I've gone all commercial. Not at all. I am working on several free stories and drabbles, but haven't had the time to complete any of them just yet. Still, I'll be getting there, and as I start writing steadily again I hope my creativity will benefit from it and I'll be able to release free stories and/or story chapters on a regular basis again. I have ideas for two brand new epics that I have been toying with in private, and I'm optimistic about being able to write both at some point. However, wrapping up things that are on hold or incomplete is a priority. I wish to thank you all for the great amount of patience you have demonstrated so far.
5) Some readers have been complaining about the burgundy background for a while now. so my site will also be getting a face lift that should make things easier to read.
May 10:
"Shielded in Broken Armours" will no longer be published by yaoi House. For more information about the issue, please read this post in my LiveJournal. Thank you.
March 25:
I have a wonderful surprise for all of you SBA fans. I have commissioned a Marzio/Ignis sketch from Italian manga artists Le Peruggine. It came out amazing!
January 03:
Happy New Year, everyone! Another lovely SBA fanart in its respective gallery, plus of course more icons.
October 03:
New Ignis fanart in the SBA gallery, and various new icons.
September 13:
Just a random "Raven's Flight" sidefic that's been posted on my Lj for almost a year now and some gift icons in this update, I'm afraid. :(
June 25:
It's Ignis' birthday today! *throws confetti*
Anyway, I've posted two new drabbles and a PWP. One drabble (Corvino/Sandris) is set in the "Raven's Flight" universe, the other (Tempesta/Owen het-ish) and the story (Ignis/Marzio smut) in the "Shielded in Broken Armours" one.
Plus new Ignis fanart from Nikk in the SBA Gallery and 6 new icons: Haji from "Blood+ Nightwalker City" by Kisaragi Hirotaka in the Downloads section.
June 18:
Things have been pretty slow on the writing front lately. However, there are some LJ icons that I've added steadily since the past update. Therefore, I've messed a little with the "Download > LiveJournal Icons" section.
And I've obviously added yet more icons, including some humorous Fei Long ones ("Viewfinder" section) and some yummy sweets ones ("Various" section). XD
February 27:
New Dragon-Mage ficlet, whoot! Plus a bit of tweaking on the layout, updated links page and some icons.
Kitty made me the loveliest Ignis drawing. I am so happy about it! You can admire it in all its glory in my SBA gallery.

November 21:
Mwhahah, finally something for you to read and enjoy, my lovelies! Varen and Alain decided to behave, so go have a look at "What?!", the new story in "The Dragon-Mage series". Rated NC-17... because. *eg*
November 15:
There's another author I'd like you to go read, if you have the time. She writes the most wonderful original fiction and has me hooked on her stuff. You can find her on LiveJournal as The Dystopian. Please pay her a visit, because you might find it worth your time!
November 14:
Lots and lots of Fei Long ("Viewfinder") icons today. They were a labour of love, so be nice and go have a look, eh?
September 12:
I've added some pretty, pretty LiveJournal icons using illustrations from the Japanese Edition of Lynn Flewelling's "Nightrunner Series". I'm quite proud of this batch!
August 21:
Posted "On Magic and Heal-All Brews", part of "The Dragon-Mage series". Still no smut, sorry. And I've added some new LJ icons too, though most of them are for private use.
July 29:
Layout change again. Isn't the bishie just lovely? Wei Liu has some wonderful artwork, and Zehavit-Lamasu allowed me to play with her artbook scans. And we celebrate the new layout with a Wei Liu special feature gallery, yay !
Looks like I end up changing them once a year... oh well. I get bored easily. Many thanks to Lara for helping me out with coding glitches. If you have any feedback, please email me.
May 16:
Added "First Impressions", the beginning of a new original series called "Dragon-Mage". It's the first major project I'm picking up in years, so I hope you'll enjoy reading it.
May 01:
Moved the updates page on the main menu... for easier navigation, I like to think. I also dropped the 10 point font which was driving people nuts from most sections. Feedback on both stories and layout is greatly appreciated, by the way!
April 04:
Added some LJ icons; reorganized the links page (I need to work on its layout some more though).
March 15:
What's this, an update? While yes, it is!!!
Added one shiny, brand-new ficlet. Fanfic for "The Lions of Al-Rassan". No slash, sadly... but soon, I hope!
January 17:
Played with the story navigation for a bit, added/updates some links and added some new LJ icons.
Got really annoyed about people hotlinking to gallery images, so there might be some navigational changes in that section.
2005:
December 02:
New TCG layout featuring Fei Long from Yamane Ayano's "Viewfinder" manga series.
Added an original ficlet I wrote years ago and revised recently; warning it's PWP. Also, two of my old Vampire Chronicles fanfics are back on the site. I doubt I'll add the other 4 any time soon.
October 19:
Added some new links, LJ icons and a new wallpaper. I also tweaked the layout a bit to be better viewed in Firefox - I hope that helps.
September 12:
Added a couple of new links. Some chapters/stories should show up soon... I hope! *kicks muse*

Added some new links - go check them out!

Put up my profile... a very crappy profile, might I add! >_<

July 6:

June 25:
I know it's been a while since I last posted anything. Me bad. But hopefully I'll be able to remedy that soon. For now, I give you the new site design. Feedback on it is most appreciated! Some sections are still down or marked as "coming soon"; I shall try to update within the next few weeks. Thank you for your patience!
February 10:
Added the last part of "Ice Star" to the Fanfics section, and 2 new links.

January 10:
Happy New Year, everyone!
Let's see what I have for you this time... A new fic titled "Ariel's Fall", and the beginning of "Under Drako's Blazing Eyes" , can be found in the originals section.
Also some new links, new images in the gallery, and a new section - "Extra" - in which you can find LiveJournal icons and wallpapers that I made with my poor graphicing skills.
2004:
November 4:
Added Delilah's story "A Little Rebellion" to the "Bloody Moon" index (fanfics section), as well as a new page for my LJ icons (for now it's hosted in the gallery, but it will get a section of its own when there are more icons). Also in the planning is a recs section ^_^
October 19:
"Bloody Moon" characters get a gallery of their own, because they were overcrowding the main one. Added pictures of Edran, Mardus and Mayan (you'll find out who the latter 2 are in the sequel).
October 11:
I added a picture of Takhi ("Bloody Moon") in the gallery, and a couple of new links (forgot to mention this in the past update), mostly for Gundam Wing stuff.
October 05:
Two new images in the gallery, plus the Special Feature I promised. It's (predictably) a You Higuri gallery :)
September 26:
Thanks to Theresa, who has offered me a little bit of space on her server free of charge! *hugs her* I promise to dedicate you a fine piece of writing, sweetheart :)
