Up to number 5! Only 12 more to go! Although, most of the later chapters are completely cut now and will be redone. I'm going to see how many chapters I can redo before August is up. Wish me luck!

This is a very not-exciting chapter. I consider it my interlude chapter and it will probably be attached to the end of another chapter or completely cut. It is the intro to their aikido training, which is something I love and so it will probably stay just the way it is for that sole reason. Maybe...

( Chapter 5 )

So...umm...sorry?

Don't really know what to say about being so late. I'm just a slacker. So without further ado...


( Chapter 4 )

Definite changes here, but nothing as drastic as later on. I did go through all chapters so far and cut out a lot of useless stuff. The later chapters will be completely changed, so you can look forward to that. Or not. Either way's fine with me.

Hope you enjoy! ^_^

OMG, I hate school. I'm so ready to be done with this and join the masses going to their little cubicles every Monday-Friday. Jeez...

And as to the weather, what happened to our snow? It snowed yesterday, but didn't continue through the night. Now, it's all melted and school is still on. Damn. However, I don't know why I'm complaining so vehemently right now. I only have one class on Monday's and it's at 4:30pm. So, no biggie.

After reading all that, you can guess what my next statement is going to be about. I haven't touched any of my "works" since, oh, quite a while ago. School, yanno... And since finals and last minute assignments due the week of finals are coming up, I still won't have time. But afterwords, I'm flying to GA for Christmas with mi familia. So, maybe then? I'll definitely work on fixing Emerald Isle, cuz that won't take too much extra thinking since the majority is already written.

/Sigh

I hate school...

Nothing major changed in here at all.


( Chapter 3 )

Let me know what you think. ^^

So here's the prologue, chapter 1 and chapter 2 of Emerald Isle revised to my liking.



( Prologue )

( Chapter 1 )

( Chapter 2 )


Changes: Nothing too major in these first two pieces. Mostly, I just changed Naruto and Sasuke's first impression of each other. There is no slight attraction along with the animosity between them in the beginning. I think this version is much more believable. My problem was that I was pushing too hard for them to like each other that I did it very sloppily. They're just too OOC if you make them like each other from the beginning, because they are first and foremost rivals before they are anything else.

Sasuke is now from New Jersey, not Georgia. There is a reason for this, and should be fairly obvious when you think about it.

I just quickly wrote this...just because I wanted to. It came after reading a little snippet from BeccaAmon. If you haven't read any of her work, FOR SHAME!!


( Drabble! )

Ok, since I've been getting more and more comments/emails on why I haven't updated Emerald Isle, I'm going to finally get off my ass and get back to it. Well...I'm going to be editing it to be precise. I've gone through chapters 1-3 so far and have changed A LOT and this will continue with the other chapters. I'll start posting the revised chapters here later and I'll give a list of all the major changes I make.

Don't worry, I'm not changing the entire story, I'm just making it more cohesive for me. It was my first attempt at writing after years of absence (damn school and those stupid analytical essays) and it shows. I found many of the characters' reactions totally off and just horribly, horribly wrong. Hopefully when I'm done, it will be a much better story.

Thanks for your patience.

Here's ch. 6 of Konoha Studios. I haven't proofread it much and what I did was done very quickly and only once, so excuse any really, really bad mistakes.

Edit: I've finally proofread it the way I wanted to, so it should be much better now.

( On to the story... )

School's out! Yippie! So now that means I'll have more time to work on my stories. I'll try, I really will. Konoha Studios is first, and maybe I'll finally get around to editing and planning Emerald Isle better.

Don't worry, I don't plan on changing it that much. I certainly don't want to do away with all that writing I did. I posted a shitload per chapter for many of them. No wonder I got tired of it...it was all that damn typing.

I will tell you that ch. 6 of Konoha Studios is a flashback. Dun dun dun!

Till next time

I guess I'm still in the mood for really sad stuff.

It still needs work, but I'll post it anyway.

Title: None (just another drabble)
Pairings: SasuNaru
Warnings: PG-13 I guess. Very dark, angsty, character death
Summary: The lengths we'll go to.
Comments: I don't know, I'm just really in the mood for sad stuff. I guess it comes from reading the latest manga chapters and debating with friends over whether Sasuke would ever really kill Naruto. I don't think this drabble is that sad though, I didn't even get mistly-eyed over it. I guess it's something to work for.

( Dark Drabble )


I really suck at trying to be emo, or even just introspective. I can sit around and think on this stuff for hours, but can't put it into words.

I'm thinking I'm going to have to go on hiatus with Emerald Isle. I will finish it, make no mistake about that, but I'm seriously lacking in inspiration right now for it. I'm more focused on Konoha Studios.

To be honest, I'm sick of Emerald Isle. The plot's bad, and getting worse and I'm still really surprised that people like it. I need to smooth out the ending (plan it out) and then I'll get back to it.

Let me say this again: THE EMERALD ISLE WILL BE FINISHED!

so no flames. I'm trying here, I really am.

Feeling a little melancholy apparently.

Title: none, just a drabble
Pairings: none...ZOMG!!
Warnings: G-PGish, angst, spoilers??
Summary: Just a little discussion with a rock. Naruto's POV.
Comments: Kind of SPOILER ALERT for ch. 307 of manga. Nothing major, I was just inspired by something Naruto said in that chapter, so yeah, could be spoilerish.

( Drabble... )

Let's try this mode:

Title: Anything
Pairings: Orochimaru & Sasuke
Warnings: NC-17 for graphic lemon (ewww)
Summary: Sasuke will do anything to beat his brother.
Comments: I swear there's something wrong with me. I despise this pairing, mostly b/c I hate the snake bastard and he's just soo eww. However, this came to mind as a little sidefic to Konoha Studios, but I decided against making it part of that story, so it's just a one-shot that proves I'm on crack.

( Anything )

Here's all of chapter 5. I must say, I'm not too happy with it and it needs to be looked over but whatever.

( Chapter 5 )


......the layout is slowly getting better......

Finally...

( Chapter 4 )

Holy Crap! My chapters are toooo long!

( Chapter 3 )

Whew! So only ONE MORE FINAL!!! Yay! Then summer school starts and I need a job.

DAMMIT!!

Here's the first 2 chapters in case you need a refresher.
( Chapter 1 )
( Chapter 2 )

And I must continue on another post!
