Regarding our IN A NAME series:

We'd just like to let you all know we have absolutely EVERY intention of finishing this. It has been a part of our lives for more than ten years and as corny as this may sound, we would regret it for the rest of our days if we didn't finish what we started. This fic and its characters just mean too much to us. So, if you've stuck around this long, know that we are still here, this story isn't abandoned, and regardless of how long you've been following it, we are so immensely grateful for your support. Thank you!


IAN rewrite updates:

Since In A Name was started back in January 2010, Ataahua has decided a rewrite is long overdue to ensure consistency in the quality and style of writing across all chapters. No big changes will be made, so reading the rewrite won't be necessary. In saying that, we would love for you to re-read IAN once the rewrite IS complete - because it'll be better than ever!

Prologue to Ch 1: rewritten and replaced
Ch 2: rewritten, but not yet replaced due to minor conflicting info in need of correcting in later chapter rewrites
Ch 3: rewrite in progress
Ch 4 to 30: pending rewrite
Ch 31 and onward: no rewrite required

An Heiress' Mantle by The Duelist's Heiress reviews
Very OC Heavy. "I've juggled Huntress and Heiress, Arlomhe and Mheralo, Sharti and Ishtar, with what seem like ease… but what happens when I drop the ball… what happens if-no when I slip? There's no one to help me pick up the pieces. When I let everything else fall… who am I?"

A Jeweler's Perfect Combination by The Duelist's Heiress reviews
Amethyst and Emerald, both words analogous for jewels. But there are two people who also could bear these descriptions accurately. The story of how Marik met Filiron. Prequel to the PR Series. Hope you like it.

In A Name: Act I reviews
The last thing A'isha expected to find in her house was some psycho with a magic stick and an infuriating disposition. Of course, her boy-obsessed cousin let him in, no questions asked. Then, to make matters worse, he kidnapped them both—all because of one Rare Hunter's Freudian slip. (Marik/OC. The literal definition of a slow burn. Starts pre-Battle City.)

Knowledge Sought And Knowledge Hunted reviews
Within the chamber, she found peace as she sought knowledge therein. Any illumination the lamp gave off ceased entirely. She felt every object leave her grasp when she felt a chill race up her spine as a masculine voice hauntingly tickled her ear. MarikOC.
