Fallen. AGAIN. I have no escape.
I fell for it again. I should know better by now!! Every time by some coincidence I start finding pics or icons or fanart of one freaking interesting character...I have this urge to go and see what the MANGA is about....
You know, just to find out if that interesting-looking character has an interesting story and so on...
( *facepalm* )
*waves* Hello dear best-YnM-writer-out-there!!
This is really amazing, I did not know you had a LJ account. Ugghh. Actually, yeah, I have pretty much deserted ff.net too...and even my LJ has gone untouched since...eehh...april of this year?
I always get yout update notice! I do confessmy folly, my lady, that even if I get them, oh dear god, I don't check many fics as of late.
Sorry about that. Damn, just when Apocalypse was getting darker and more interesting than ever, right! I really miss reading your stories...and going all fangirl over Tsuzuki *dreamy eyes* Have you already decided his fate? Has Tsuzuki already acquired the long hair and demonic/angelic features of his siblings?!
*frets* Oh spoilers spoilers!
Well, life has been hectic for me since last year, when I stopped reading your fics. For awhile I was really overwhelmed with work. Then, when I had a moment of respite, I fell in love with the D.GrayMan manga and Kanda Yuu (I think my LJ is a bit obvious about this fact) and so I spent several months writing fiction for that series. XDDD
But then I went into another work-related obssessed time, and I even got myself a scholarship to study my master abroad LOL So any time I could have used for D.GrayMan and Kuroshitsuji (a manga I love but I actually never got around to write any fic about it)...I was forced to invest that time preparing for my leaving to study my master and thus, training my replacement at work.
It was in April precisely when I came to live in Japan, to study my master. Since that moment, it has been a rollercoaster. The language is a pretty funny barrier -life is hectic and the studies are quite difficult: but not because they are quality-wise demanding and difficult, it is because all the process and system is in a different culture with different language etc etc.
But it's great, I love my school and my sensei is cool, my classmates are okay and the city I live is great.
Exactly today I started my summer vacation!! You have very good timming! Still I am planning to work an internship in September, but during August I will finally get on track with my favorite anime and manga.
Plus I have fallen for another series, which is Hetalia, so I am hunting down fics and doujinshi LOL
*see how my reply got longer than your message? ooopss*
I will go back and catch up with your fics, too, now that you have reminded me of them!!
Can I also friend your LJ account? XDDD
See you around then! Lemme know what can I call you here in LJ. Mystic? Ariadne?
I am May. So no need with the Shinigami reference anymore LOL.
*waves bye*

As to Apocalypse Rising, you've missed so much. The last posted chapter is the first of a two-part final chapter. All that I could say is that much had happened to the point that our heroes do not like the predicament that they're in...well, I'm counting Tsuzuki out of not liking his predicament since he's too far gone to know the difference...lol...
But lets say this...you're about to have your obsession come true in terms of seeing Tsuzuki in his full glory.
Lots of loose ends to tie up. There's Abigor... There's Abigor's missing son's soul.... There's Enma who perished in an earthquake which leaves the throne empty... There's Watari and Wakaba who as you know have turned into Kinu and Gyokuto... There's Ashtarote who had gone the deep end.... There's Hisoka who's not very happy to say the least over what happened...
Well, at least you have a good many pages to read..lol..
And if you run out of stuff to read, there's the other two YnM fanfics out there that tie in...lol... I got an email yesterday from someone who has been waiting a while for an update on my Tatsumi fic - the one that covers his life when he first meets and dumps Tsuzuki...so she was all happy in her email.
*sighs* I just love making fellow fangirls happy... :-)
I haven't touched the fanfics for a long while until recently. I get emails here and there requesting for me to finish them, even my old YGO ones...lol...
That's great you're pursuing your masters! As much as mine was hard work, I loved my time spent in my master's program. My master's program was in business administration....what's yours?
I got sick for a while, which would have greatly affected my ability to have a baby. The first solution being offered to me to stop the bleeding would have nearly if not totally eliminated by ability to conceive. I said no, taking the longer route and suffering a bit more.
So after I got well, my hubby and I tried once more to have a child. The whole time that I was pregnant, I had to go back and forth at the hospital because they're watching the baby and me like a hawk. I gave birth to a baby boy in December, and since then he's been growing so fast. I had to stay at the hospital for two weeks with him after I gave birth because I had preeclampsia, but everything was worth it. I'm just thankful that he and I are both all right in spite of the fact that there have been many sleepless nights since then..lol..
The whole time that I was on hiatus from writing had ups and downs similar to my fics...all a wild, confusing, nerve-wracking ride which will culminate in a happy ending for all...lol..
As to work, the budget cuts here in the US has greatly affected everyone. I work at the public sector as an analyst. I'm moving to another department with my job intact while a good handful of my peers lost their jobs. At least in the public sector, those people who got laid off and have rights to their position could be hired back should things improve within three years.
Job-wise, I do a lot of writing...lol...so I thank my stars that I love to write. Writing fanfics helped a lot in getting my thought process down on paper much quicker than others.
I'm so tempted to write a Kuroshitsuji or D.Grayman fanfic, but if I get started I might end up obsessing about it too just like my handful of fanfics...lol... I haven't read the manga, but I'm watching the anime and totally fell in love with it. Sebastian is just so damn handsome and naughty when needs be...lol... and Ciel...as young as he is...is just so cute :-)

First of all, congratulations on your baby boy! That is so happy, such a beautiful occassion. I wish you and the baby and your hubby the best of lucks and good health.
Well, now I understand, you have all the rights to throw writing out the windown. Focus on your baby, definitely.
And I see that I have a lot of reading to do to catch up with AR, but I am making my way through it. I'll make sure to give you reviews then.
Your master was in BA, then? Mine is in international cooperation. XDDD
Well, I really wish you the best, I am so happy to hear about your family. I am also a bit sad to read about the complications, but I am sure everything will get better and better for you from now on.
Be well, take care!
PS: Oh and don't read more manga and write fanfics because it is addictive, and your baby boy may not be too happy to see his mom LOLing every five minutes or so XDDD Or tearing up, since those mangas are full of both comedy and angst XDDD
