Master Fic List
Preface: Well, this is it. I've really enjoyed writing for this series, and I seriously miss all the wonderful people here. I've tried to wrap everything up as best I could (I hate it when authors take off, never finish anything, and never even tell you what was GOING to happen!). Ultimately, fanfiction was taking up all my time, and I felt like I

I don't blame you. I haven't posted in a loooong time. I wasn't sure what to do at first--I knew I wasn't going to write anymore, and Schnick was thinking of taking up some of my fics, so I didn't want to post what I had in case she ended up using it. When nothing had been furthered in a year though, I talked with her about just putting it up for everyone who wanted to know.
It makes me really happy you like those two fics! I think they're the two least-appreciated fics I own, possibly because they're both so short (long fics garner more attention, but they're also harder to keep all the elements together and in-character) and possibly because they're both sad and slightly depressing. There are a lot of people willing to get through angst for a happy ending, but few who appreciate angst for angst's sake.
I promise I won't delete anything. ^^, I really hate it when people do that. I was mad at a couple authors when I first joined the fandom because everyone listed them on Recommendation lists, but you couldn't actually read any of their fics anymore, they were all blocked, whether to friends only or deleted. So I promised I'd never do that, no matter HOW badly I came to HATE a fic. Which is the only reason Sleepwalking is still up. *wrinkles nose* Actually, I've been working on Dragon Down off and on, but as an original fiction piece. I liked the premise, and except for the characters the world is entirely my own, so I've been finishing it off with my own characters. I've tripled the length of the story (it was originally 1500, it's now 6000 words), and for a fraction of a second I almost considered putting it up here so people could see the ending, but then I realized I couldn't, even if I replaced Sei and Su. I want to start taking this seriously, and I'm sure I'll never be able to publish something that already exists online (I wonder if I can be sued for copyright laws on my own work). A lot of my AU stuff is like that--I'm using CLAMP's characters, but the story is my own, and I'd love to work the kinks out (that's going to take some doing), use my own characters and see if it wins any contests, but I'm afraid I'll get in trouble if people notice pieces have already been posted in this journal (only legit reason I'd ever have for taking one of my fics down).
I'm babbling. Anyway, Syzygial Chaos? She hasn't given up on it, but she's gotten distracted with other stories that are more popular in other fandoms, and that kind of distraction can be fatal. I don't think it's going to be updated in the near future at the very least. T_T Reviewing her (if you haven't already), letting her know there's still interest, might help. I think she was a little let down when it didn't turn out as popular as Addicted to You, and I feel a little as though my dropping out of the fandom was a hit too, if only because we acted as springboards for each other's plots, constantly giving each other ideas just by goofing around with make believe scenarios all over each other's profiles. XD Having someone that interested in your story (so interested he/she badgers you about it constantly, asking questions and making up spin-offs) is an amazing enthusiasm booster. Reviews shouldn't matter, but it's easy to go where the most interest is, where people care about what you're writing. We should start a petition. ^_^ (I could hold her next profile design for ransom until she spits out some of the story maybe? I want to know what happens too!)

Beautified angst for angst's sake is the essence of X, hehe.
Oh, I know the pain of deleted or locked journals. I read Tokyo Babylon and X (and TRC and what not) this summer and by the time I started reading fics, the fandom has pretty much fallen apart. mefiant simply dissappeared from the internet, and not even their acquitances know what happened(I chatted with one of those old-time ficwriters). kara_m, dots (dotscribbles), transcending ... The list goes on. I was able to track down some of Mefiant's fics, because people saved them, but the amount of effort it took? lol.
CLAMPESQUE board and all the geocities websites where many fics and meta were hosted are also dead.
I did review and even bullied some of my flist into reading Addicted To You:D Many lazy people like me just don't review the next installments - I must rectify that.
I know, right? That cliffhanger... I'm also a big fan of Code Geass, so I was extra amused by everything.
It takes a while to start communicating with a ficwriter whom I don't know, especially if there aren't any new stories in my fandoms being posted - there's just no room for new reviews and active bouncing. Never stopped me from jumping at people, thoughXD
