Update 22 May '20 - A much needed update about the...well, updates. There isn't some big mysterious thing that happened with my disappearance. I simply got evicted from my flat(which sadly has been the fate of so many tenants in my area) as I couldn't pay the rent on time two months in a row. Had to find a new one. Got around to doing that this past week and finally got one from the listings. One of the only good things about the past three months is that at least I wasn't fired from my job. Settling in the new premises now. Will have some updates rolling out soon.

I reiterate my previous statement by saying this - Not a sinlge one of my stories will ever go unfinished. I will complete them as time permits me to do so. Unless, of course, someone does me in. In which case, I hope you'll forgive me that I can't come from the beyond to finish my treasures.

Hope you all are safe and are taking care.

Update 22 May '20 - Due to the sudden influx of pending work, I haven't had time to clear the clutter within my various drafts. It's possible that despite my best efforts, I might not be able to post any updates this month. I do apologize for that. However, I believe I will get some reprieve in the first week of June. I will do my best to update, Time & Again and The Veiled Vestiges then, if not before. These are scary times for all of us. And I have been sort of late on my rent for a couple of months now. Hope you all understand and are staying safe. Take care.

Please visit www(dot)neatStuff(dot)in (and if you add ‘www’ yourselfit will even show my domain name as it’s a google site forwarded and masked to it). for all the latest chapters that are posted there a day before. I have put a lot of effort into it. Hope you enjoy the experience :)

Update 13 Mar '20 - Two new projects are in works. They are another Harry Potter crossovers. Think, HP & a favorite Teen Choice Award for Choice TV Show: Fantasy 2016. AND HP & a New York Times bestselling series which didn't do as well as it should have.

Update 10 Mar '20 - From today onwards there will not be any regular schedule for any updates. This does not mean that I will not post for months on end. It simply means that I will be updating whichever project tickles my fancy.
Considering there are plenty of stories I have yet to introduce, you might see your favourite story is lagging behind whichever one I get fixated on during that time. That is all. I thank you for supporting my works and hope to continue to capture your interest.

Update 5 Mar '20 - Chapter 13 of The Veiled Vestiges - Of choices and prophets part-3 is now live.

Update 2 Mar '20 - I have posted chapter 12 of The Veiled Vestiges - Of choices and prophets part-2. I had not meant to make it a 3 parter. But the document manager is spitting out the chapter in ANSI characters. I could only amend 11K or so words this week. I will post part 3 in a day or so. Stay tuned and thanks for all your support, I appreciate it. :)

Update 27 Feb '20 - I am halting the perputual cycle of uploading and deleting the ill-formatted document that is being generated by the website's compiler for the time being. I have scoured the net to find a solution and I have even checked the fanfiction(dot)net tweets for any updates, but haven't found anything yet.

I have decided to continue writing for my other stories until this problem gets resolved and when it does, I guess you will have more chapters from my other projects to read as well.

Update 26 Feb '20 - I have been trying to post Chapter 12 for the veiled vestiges for a day and a half now. It is done and dusted, however, the document manager in the app as well as the website isn't working as it should. The format coming out after uploads is something like this,

"D#$&rkness. Bl#$&ck sw#$&thes of the unending #$&byss. It w#$&s #$&ll she h#$&d known for #$& very long time. "

I have tried to upload over and over again but it isn't working. I will continue to try and hope it will be better soon. Thank you for your patience.

Update 23 Feb '20 - The new story, a Harry Potter and Grimm crossover, THE GRIMM TALES is now live here and on archiveofourown. Check it out.

Update 22 Feb '20 - Working on Chapter 12 of The Veiled Vestiges. The final draft is ready and after I am satisfied with everything in it, I will post it here. Expect max. 2 days for proof reading and minor edits.

ALSO, FROM NOW ON THE NEWS ABOUT UPDATES FOR THE CHAPTERS WILL BE POSTED HERE. If you wish to know what I am currently working on please visit this page(my profile).

Update 09 Feb '20 - Two surprises are on their way and will be unveiled during this month. I am certain most of you will understand the reason for the delay when I do present what I have planned for the TVV series as a whole. Thank you.

Request 08 Feb '20 - A shout-out to all of you lovely readers who have supported my works from the get-go. I appreciate it. I will do my utmost to find a balance between all the stories that I am in the process of writing.

But life sneaks up on ya most days. With the job and uneven hours, it's difficult to commit to a schedule. I only ask that you be patient. No story of mine will ever be put on hiatus, temporary or otherwise. Then comes the mood. The inspiration to write a particular story isn’t just there sometimes. That is why I opened with three different stories. But even then the muse doesn't always wish to whisper the fantastical ideas anymore. So rather than doing it anyway and producing subpar results, I tend to take a step back and read stories by other authors to get me going again. Hope y’all will understand. Thank You.

Update 18 Jan '20 - The poll for the choices of stories to be updated next is now up on Twitter and my profile here. Make sure to vote for whichever one you want to read next. Please refer to the update and A/N posted on 14 Jan '20.

Update 14 Jan '20 - I have taken the advice of a friend and have decided to choose the next story to be updated partly on the basis of a poll which will be available on my profile as well as on my twitter account '@neatstuff5'. So make sure you contribute to get your favourite story updated sooner. Notice that I said 'partly'and that is because while I value the opinion of my readers, I do still have some rhythm that I like to follow when I am writing drafts for #tvv and #tvvLOHK. The poll between chapter 3 of #tvvLOHK or chapter 13 of #tvv will be up by 20 Jan '20. (chapter 12 of #tvv will be posted irrespective of the result of these polls. I hate cliffhangers as much as you do.)

Update 06 Jan '20 - Hello Readers! I imagine not many of you visit the profile but just to keep the stories more streamlined I have decided to post some of the less relevant stuff on my profile page. Given that, I am looking for a Beta reader for TVV and TVV-Last of this kind. Those interested, please PM me. Happy New Year guys! :)

Update 22 Dec '19 - There will be a bonus on the Chrismas post of The Veiled Vestiges where i will unveil something new that has been in the works for the last week. Stay tuned readers :)

Update 14 Dec '19 - The Velied Vestiges will be updated near about Christmas as I have yet to find some time to review the latest chapters that have been drafted. Thank you for your patience and interest. I appreciate it.

Works in Progress-

# Harry Potter - The Veiled Vestiges - An AU/EWE story involving time-travel and several attempts to wrench it off the usual track of clichē. Smarter Harry! Politically Savvy Harry! Powerful Harry!

(I have written near about 15 chapters for this fic. It is near completion as far as the rough drafts are concerned and after reviewing I will begin posting here soon.)

# The Veiled Vestiges - Last of his kind - AU story. HP marvel crossover with marvel cinematic universe elements and some comics stuff added in. Smart Harry! Resourceful Harry!

(I have written 6 chapters in total and have started posting since Dec '19)

# The Veiled Vestiges - Istari Chronicles - A Harry Potter and LOTR crossover.

# Emissaries of Angvard - A Harry Potter and Inheritance Cycle crossover.

# The Grimm Tales - A Harry Potter and Grimm(Tv series) crossover.

# Bleach - The Last Shinigami - An AU of Bleach. Bleach Time-Travel fanfic. Incredibly Powerful Ichigo.

# Naruto - Kakusera Konseki - An AU of Narutoverse. Naruto Time-Travel fanfic. Smarter Naruto! Strong Naruto!

(The last two fics are still in their infancy. I have completed 10 chapters so far and I am not happy with some of them. A revision would likely be my next step regarding this story.)

Some other works are also under progress but I will leave them be for now considering they are out of my hand and being beta'ed by some of my usual readers.

Miscellaneous Stuff-

- I have no policy on how you choose to critique me. Do so at your leisure and pleasure.

- I do not claim to be a professional writer but I have come a long way from being a bumbling idiot who wrote for fun to a moderately good enough writer, though, I still write for fun.

- I have taken up writing because I was sick and tired of seeing awesome stories go to tits up.
