News! (UPDATED 4th OCTOBER 2009!!)

I won't say that I'm back. However, I sure am still alive. I really hope to publish another chapter of the saga that is The Shomin Experience and reviving Salvaging the Pieces by end of 2009. So watch out for it!

Previously...:

I regret to inform my dear readers that The Shomin Experience is sadly also on TEMPORARY HIATUS. Work has been ridiculous and I haven't gotten into the groove at all (yes, throughout the past year). I promise I will finish it, just not in the time frame that you expect. I hope to do it soon before all inspiration oozes out and I'm left completely dehydrated. Of course, I'm thinking of a suitable and swift ending that doesn't compromise the integrity of the story. It's difficult. You can reach me via PM of course. THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR READING!

If you'd like me to read something you've written, do PM me as I won't be reading stories at random much. I'll try my best to get back to you.

A note about Salvaging the Pieces: I might have written myself into a hole here, so this story is still on temporary hiatus until some plot godzillas smack me in the head. I'll hopefully have something for you eventually. I don't like leaving things unfinished so I'll complete it at some point. Right now, I'm consumed with TSE. Loving the Ouran folks.

About sakuraichigo

Love cherry blossoms and strawberries. I also go by sakura, sakuraichigo, yukaguri, kaguri or Janet if you're feeling more personal. A happy primary school teacher with her own precocious kids with a hidden otaku side.

I've enjoyed both reading and writing since I was young. Personally, one of the challenges of writing fanfics is remaining true to the characters as I don't enjoy portraying characters out of their usual norm. However, you will find that I do deviate if it's necessary for plot movement. Writing is a fantastic avenue for exploration and something I hope to impart to my children.

I do love hearing from you via PM, reviews or other means as it means someone's reading the stuff I write. I really do appreciate critical comments, as long as you have a justifiable point. That means that you are required to provide several instances of evidence to make some sort of general claim about my writing. I'm sorry, but it really annoys me when someone goes on a tangent based on a single error.

In addition, I really abhor those who presumably utilise their credentials, such as "I'm an English student", to tell me how to write (e.g. that I should make my sentences shorter... ever heard of style?). I don't appreciate flaming at all. You're free to tell me if you don't like the pairing or express hesitancy about it, but please be mature when expressing your views.

My writing style leans towards longer sentences and it may at times be confusing. I do apologise. I tend to think the way I write. If you find something that confuses you, do let me know. Regardless of how valid it is, I will probably ignore a suggestion if it's made in an arrogant manner.

Do visit my website Yu-chan no Megane (the homepage) for more of me. I've recently rehashed things for a brand new start and am slowly developing content. Yes, I have a thing for megane characters. Bahaha.
