"All that we see or seem
Is but a dream within a dream."

--Edgar Allan Poe.

Hello to everyone here. :)

This website is like a place where I sincerely hope I can share my little stories about the manga character that I like the most with you (I just read a few manga series though). I didn't intend to write so much and I wasn't sure if you would like my stories as well as my personal writing style.

--'Love is Unspoken': The first fan fiction I ever wrote. Right now it's complete. The reason I haven't changed its status because I don't know if I will find inspiration someday and add another story to this fic. :/ Well, if you love stories that have happy endings and make you smile in the end, don't ever read this one. (FYI, I do love Ai character and I just want to show you the way I see her)

--'Soulmates': I never ever wrote a long story before and thus this fan fiction is really a challenge for me. In addition, somehow while I wrote it, I felt like I'm creating false hope for myself (Shinichi and Shiho could be together, really? sigh). Sometimes I just want to give up but well, I know it's bad when you start something but never finish it. So I will continue it as long as I can.

This is some of my AMVs that I made. I'm an amateur, so you know what they look like. But, if you have any interest, you may watch them here: http://www.youtube.com/user/grayfirefly

And these are my not-so-good drawings, mostly Ai and Conan. http:///

.x.x.x.

Lastly, I just want to say thank you so much for reading my little stories and supporting me. Without your kind words, I honestly don't even know if I can continue writing. I really appreciate them. :)

“I start to feel like I can’t maintain the facade any longer, that I may just start to show through. And I wish I knew what was wrong. Maybe something about how stupid my whole life is. I don’t know. Why does the rest of the world put up with the hypocrisy, the need to put a happy face on sorrow, the need to keep on keeping on?... I don’t know the answer, I know only that I can’t. I don't want any more vicissitudes, I don't want any more of this try, try again stuff. I just want out. I’ve had it. I am so tired. I am twenty and I am already exhausted." -- Elizabeth Wurtzel

"Insanity is knowing that what you're doing is completely idiotic, but still, somehow, you just can't stop it." -- Elizabeth Wurtzel

"I froze before the keyboard. I couldn't think of a damn thing to say. No poems, no prose, no words. The pain cannot even be alchemized into art, into words, into something you can chalk up to an interesting experience because the pain itself, its intensity, is so great that it has woven itself into your system so deeply that there is no way to objectify it or push it outside or find its beauty within." -- Elizabeth Wurtzel

“I laugh, I love, I hope, I try, I hurt, I need, I fear, I cry. And I know you do the same things too, So we're really not that different, me and you.” -- Colin Raye

“-You can't just turn on creativity like a faucet. You have to be in the right mood.

-What mood is that?

-Last-minute panic.” -- Calvin & Hobbes
