A huge hello to all my readers!

For those who have reviewed my stories, thank you ever so much! I love all the positive comments you make! So THANK YOU!

Update (23rd August, 2009):

I seem to say this too often, but...I'm back! (Again). I finally got around to finishing Chapter 3 of Lost, and I am currently working on Chapter 4 right now (I thought I'd better get started on it before my muse runs away again!). I've also had some requests and questions about Who Wants to Play Spin-The-Bottle?, and I can inform those of you who are getting worried that this story has not been abandoned. After Chapter 4 of Lost, I'm going to be working on updates to Who Wants to Play Spin-The-Bottle? and Jealousy.

Update (20th Jan, 2009):

Well, I'm back. Again. Hopefully for longer this time! And I bring you a gift: the second chapter of Jealousy (yes, this random update surprised me also, considering my main goal was actually to work on Lost...). To comfort those who are probably beginning to wonder if I ever finish what I start (apart from one-shots), or plan anything at all beyond the first chapter, well, I actually have a plot all lined up for Lost, all nicely typed out and saved on my computer (no chances of losing important plans scribbled hastily on paper scraps!). So, I'm determined to finish it!

Fingers crossed, the next chapters for Lost, Jealousy and maybe another fic, will be up in the next week or so.

Update (21st June, 2008):

New status for some of my fanfics:

~ Chapter 3 of Lost is already underway (4 pages written so far!)

~ The sixth chapter of Who Wants To Play Spin-The-Bottle? has been started (5 pages written so far!)

Update:

I know, I know... I haven't updated most of my stories for months, years in some cases. I sincerely apologise for the delay. I lost my inspiration for some stories and I've also been somewhat busy with study (VCE and UNI) for the past couple of years. The bad news is that for now, my fanfiction, The Love-Hate Game, is on hold. The good news, however, is that I'm trying to get back on track with some of my other stories. It's been a while and I'm missing some of my old notes on the plotlines; plus, I've noticed my writing style has changed since I started my first few fics, but I'm having a go anyway.

Here's the status of my other fics at the moment:

~ The third chapter of Instinct To Run is halfway finished.

~ The eighth chapter of Hogwarts At The Zoo is also underway (four pages written so far!).

~ The second chapter of Lost has been started.

~ The fourth chapter of Behind Blue Eyes has been started, but may take a while to finish.

~ Jealousy and Ever Observant I plan to update very soon, but as of yet, no further chapters have been written for either.

~ Who Wants To Play Spin-The-Bottle? hasn't been abandoned! I haven't started on a new chapter for it yet, but I will hopefully get around to it soon!

I also have brand-new fics coming up! One is a HGBZ one-shot, which is about halfway complete. The other is a new idea for an Inuyasha fanfiction that I've been contemplating. If I do decide to write it, it will most likely be an SK ship.

Also, you can find most of my HP works at the IATQO (http:///archive/index.php?) website, under the same penname. I also have a Severus Snape/Hermione Granger fanfic; however, due to the ratings allowed on FF.N I have posted this story on , as it contains adult themes. If you are legally allowed to read R18+ / NC-17 rated stories in your country of residence and you enjoy the SS/HG ship, please go have a look, but remember that it contains graphic descriptions and themes that may be offensive to some individuals. Lastly, my one Inuyasha fanfiction, Instinct To Run, is also posted on A Single Spark (http:///fanfic.php), again, under the same penname.

And for anyone who's interested, here's my profile, of a sort:

I'm an Australian 20-year-old with an avid love of both reading and writing. Generally more of an intellectual than an athletic person, though I confess to having a love and a talent for horse riding. Oh, and learning Chinese (Mandarin) at school was fun, too. Especially so because my teacher was ridiculously nice - she took us out to yum cha, and taught us many traditional Chinese crafts, like Chinese knotting and sword, fan and ribbon dancing, and so on! Wo hun jour yao Tom Felton! Wo fei chang ai ta! (Excuse the terrible pin yin spelling for those of you who understand Chinese...I'm much better at writing the actual characters, seeing as that's what we were taught to write in).

What else? Ah, yes, beware! I'm renowned for dismally late and sporadic updates to my fanfictions at times, but usually due to the fact that I prefer to post quality pieces of writing over rushed segments of a fanfiction. "Quality over speed"!
