Update: So...um...hi everyone. I don't have much in the way of excuses as to my absence from active posting, other than spending the last few years recovering from trauma. January 5, 2016 I attempted to take my own life. My other half and I both. Suffice to say, the world we woke to after failing was a bleak and traumatizing one. I won't go into details so as to not trigger anyone who may have had similar travesties occur. Let me say that its been two years and I'm still struggling with my depression and loss of passion. But. I am writing again, after ages of being unable to even open a word document, I'm writing again. I WILL finish While I Sleep, that's my first goal. I also have over a dozen fics in-progress on my computer that I've been touching on for a while now. A few one shots, but mostly multi-chapter fics. Most of them are Elsanna, but some branch out into Final Fantasy XIII and even Strange Magic. All yuri stories.

That being said, I cannot promise anything concrete. I am trying my best to finish While I Sleep, but I refuse to do like these other authors who rush their endings just so they can be done with it. We all deserve better than that, and if I ever get to a point where I can't finish a fic, I will abandon it rather than rushing out a BS ending. I appreciate every one of you who have stuck by my side and given your support. You've all been so wonderful, and I hope I can deliver some quality work to you soon.

Love and light,
Ariel

Update: So I think its time I stop hiding and brush this thing off. First, let me apologize to everyone for the horrendous absence this year. My ability to focus on my writings and maintain my passions for the development of the stories sort of just died off. And along with that we have had a very busy year at my work and that has sort of killed my muse. BUT! I just ground out 4600 words on Chapter 4 of While I Sleep and got it posted and the overwhelming outpouring of support from my readers has revived my muse and given me such a drive to want to write again. I'm already working on the next chapter for While I Sleep, and I'm also looking to continue working on Sorcery, as well as a side-fic or two that I've been working on but haven't posted for fear of failing to update those as well. I will keep you updated! Follow my Facebook page for regular updates or feel free to PM me here /Update

First, let me just say it now that I am a horribly inconsistent updater and unless I've already gotten the fic written out ahead of posting it, don't expect regular updates. I'm currently having some serious issues with my ability to focus lately and for that I apologize. I appreciate all those who've been keeping up with my fics and who have expressed patience with me. I promise, none of my fics will ever be abandoned, even if it does take me a while to update them.

If you want to get play-by-play updates, be sure and like my page, Ariel's FanFics: Ariel's Fics

Crap, I got a Tumblr -_-

I'm Ariel, author-in-progress and fanfic writer by hobby. Okay, so lately I've been absolutely OBSESSED with fan fics, 99% Elsanna and 1% Harry Potter (Bellamione :o) and .01% Naruto (SakuIno). Work on my actual publishable novels has taken a backseat to this obsession and there's nothing I can do to stop it other than spew out these fic ideas I got.

SO!! This is what you're gonna get and you'll like it! :P I plan to write two long, drawn-out fics at the moment. These two ideas have taken on a life of their own and I gave up stopping this a month ago. I've gotten the introductory chapters written for both, and am settled on working on the Frozen/Harry Potter crossover first. I'm a hyper-nerd when it comes to Harry Potter and I plan to do both the HP and Elsanna fandoms proud.

So without further adieu, I hope you all enjoy my works and feel free to leave any positive feedback or constructive criticisms on my works. No flames, no drama, and please, if you don't like the Elsanna ship, then sail on and don't bother stopping here. No need for negativity. I'll add a quart of lutefisk to have good feelings, yah?
