SO... how about this? I'll write a ficlet for the first five that respond to this. You have to tell me what you want and who you want it about... and no, I don't really have any qualms about writing smut (Yaoi, het, or yuri). It'll not be anything TOO terribly involved... five pages or so. And it might take me a while to get it done... as I'm busy with classes, kids and house stuffs. But I'll sure give it a try! ^__^

No, I don't do it that often.

In fact, I don't think I've ever done it at all. I'm usually a pretty easy going person. Buuuuut... something has happened that has seriously ticked me off. I run a site that is devoted to the fancommunity of a particular anime character. It's an older anime and the fanbase is pretty much dying out like the dinosaurs. But, I am determined that even if all the other sites go belly up, mine is staying on the internet, goshdarnit!

Which brings me to my rant...

I was recently informed that it "sucks ass" that I don't have a lot of pictures in the gallery on my website. Well, GUESS WHAT??? I can only put up the stuff that people send me. Evidently people find plenty of time to load fanart here on DA, but they can't spend fifteen seconds to upload art onto the fansite???? WTF is up with that?? It's an automated system, much like the one here on DA. You log in, upload your picture, give it a title and description. Oooooh, SO hard, isn't it? The fanfiction archives work the SAME DAMNED WAY. So if there's not much material there, it's not MY DAMNED FAULT. I've given you people the means and methods to create a really decent fansite. It's not MY fault if no one can be bothered to contribute.

And SPEAKING of contributions... I've poured a lot of time, effort and MONEY into running my site. I don't constantly mention this. In fact, I don't mention it at all. I run a corresponding club here on DA and give subscriptions as prizes when we have a contest. And I do this out of my own pocket. Guess what folks? I don't have a job. I have two small children. But I do the best I can to make things fun and try to build up the community. And I have NEVER asked for donations or anything else. I did one time ask if we had merchandice of any sort, if people would be interested in helping out that way. Y'know what I got?? A bunch of excuses why no one COULD.

I'm tired of being chipper and cheerful and a doormat. No, I'm not shutting down the club or the website. But I'm tired of being told what sucks, or doesn't work, or what nobody likes. How about some suggestions as to what you'd like to see? I'm not a mindreader. If a link doesn't work, I need to be told. If there's something you DO like, I'd also like to be told about that too. Throw me a damned bone, okay? The occasional "gee, thanks, glad this is here" wouldn't hurt either.

*deep breath*

I'm sure I'll probably get a lot of "oh, well *I* put stuff up... sometimes" replies to this. If so, thanks. But the way I'm seeing it, I can't carry it all by myself. A bit of help now and then would be really nice.

Hell, maybe I'm just feeling unappreciated. I don't know.

Maybe nobody will reply to this at all. Right now, I actually don't really care. -.- ]]> ~HanaNoir http://HanaNoir.deviantart.com/journal/7699880/ http://HanaNoir.deviantart.com/journal/7699880/ Tue, 24 Jan 2006 22:03:36 PST and I are collaborating on what promises to be a HUGE fic. I'll be posting it on my account at AFF.net since it will have a LOT of violence and seriously mature content. If you're interested, it's called Fate's Crucible and it's about my favorate sadomasochistic sociopath, Zankoku Satsujin. The link to my AFF account is [link]

If you're interested, check it out, and please, feed us comments! ^^

<.<

And just because I'm SO nice... here's a bit of a teaser. ^^

~ ~ ~ ~

It had been almost three hundred years since he last saw his elder brother. They had kept in contact though, exchanging communications regularly for the purposes of dealing with matters both familial and financial. He’d seen to it that his brother’s portfolio was in order and well managed, making sure that his modest personal fortune continued to grow. He had become worried when his brother missed their last scheduled meeting via comlink and when no contact had been forthcoming, he had taken the unusual step of sending a representative to the ship. It had been then that, to his dismay, he had learned that his brother was presumed dead. Though he did have to admit, some of their very last meetings had set him on edge. There had been something about his sibling that was starting to frighten him, which was saying something considering he nearly held his brother up to idol status. He didn’t care for the edge that had been creeping into his sibling’s voice over the past few years, and to his chagrin, he had always been rather glad when they would end their conversations, so he could go take a shower.



Just to feel clean.



He shook his head slightly, glancing over at his companion. Things would have been much easier if she had gotten into touch with him immediately following the loss of his brother, but it wasn’t her fault. She hadn’t known how or even whom to contact. Zankoku’s overwhelming paranoia had assured that. Thus, two years passed while he’d gotten the appropriate paperwork and transportation arranged to meet with her. It was rather nice, he had to admit, to find someone as worried about his brother as himself.



What had followed was an intergalactic game of hopscotch as they attempted to track down his brother’s body. As an unidentified murder victim, it seemed that his body had been shuffled from the hospital to the morgue, and then to the disposal unit. Fortunately, the disposal unit had been severely backed up, so they sent a large cargo of bodies out to other storage facilities. Two years turned to three, then five, then ten and still they were always a step behind.



Until now.

Actually, I AM working on a fic project at the moment, featuring one of my lesser known original characters. Anyone interested in learning more about Zankoku might want to give it a look-see. Just so you know, I'll be posting it over on AFF.net because... weeeeeeeeeell, the DA ppl might not appreciate me posting it here. It's going to be SERIOUSLY heavy on violent and sexual content so it'll be on my account there, rather than here. Though if anyone wants, I'll put up a notice here when it updates. I've got the first chapter done and it's currently being beta'd. Just as soon as my beta reader (sporks Dania) gets done with it, I'll post it up. The second chappie is about half done, so it's coming along swimmingly, which is a bit surprising for me. *grins wryly*

*twitches several times*

^__^

Hm... twenty little things about myself... Uhm... okay....
Hope I can come up with that many. *smiles wryly* Here goes nothing...
*******

1. I'm in a committed relationship with two people whom I love very much. ^__^ Shocking, really, that not one, but TWO people are willing to put up with me for the rest of their lives. oO
2. I write... dumdumdum SMUT! Lots and lots of smut... It seems my inner muse is evidently Master Roshi.
3. Role Play has affected my youngest son. No, seriously, you should see the kid... he got pointed ears... POINTED EARS!
4. My baby is absolutely adorable. That's not just proud mommy talking there. I get mobbed when I take him out in public... It's a bit disconcerting when total strangers are trying to touch your child. oO
5. TMI, perhaps... but I've got a thing for BDSM. ^__^;
6. I've got two cats. One white with mismatched eyes, and one black with apple green eyes.
7. I'm working on starting my own business. Custom bath products anyone? ^^
8. I should have been my aunt's daughter. *smiles wryly* We look and act so much alike that people have always mistaken her for my actual mother.
9. Leather.... mmmmm.....
10. My minivan has somehow acquired the nickname the "Tambourine-mobile" oO Go figure.
11. I've reached the point where all I want out of life is... peace and quiet. Just a little bit will do.
12. My oldest son has been diagnosed ADHD. That explains a lot. Which is also why I probably won't get number 11 for a very long time.
13. My hubby is more like Vegeta than any live human as the right to be. Short, built like a brick outhouse, serious attitude and would smack someone just as soon as deal with them.
14. I want to finish painting my bathroom some day. Not much left to do really, but stencil the kanji up on the walls. I just never seem to find the time to do it.
15. Oreos. Love Oreos.
16. I'm so looking forward to the holidays. Not because of the holidays, but for other reasons. You know why. *grins*
17. Oi... brain hurts... too... much... thinking...
18. If I don't get at least a bit of rp every once in a while, my life is just not complete. *hugs Ash and Dania* You two are my crack dealers. ^^
19. I love talking to my internet friends IRL. *glomps Dania, Vic and Ash* I just love the sheer coolness of it.
20. Whoa... pulled all that straight out of my butt... last thing... Hm... I obsessively download fansubbed anime. And I only have dial-up, so that takes a lot of dedication...
*******

oo I did it!! *does the happy dance*

Now... the next person that tags me for anything like this again, will be hung up by their thumbs and flogged... *pulls the flogger out of the closet*

I finally got my digicam working again, and I posted a pic of him for all my friends to see. *grins widely* Only problem is, DA is a horse's backside and put it into scraps... >< So, if you're interested in seeing the newest addtion to the family, you'll probably have to look there for it. *thwaps stupid category definitions*

Later! ]]> ~HanaNoir http://HanaNoir.deviantart.com/journal/4676683/ http://HanaNoir.deviantart.com/journal/4676683/ Sat, 26 Feb 2005 10:20:13 PST
As I'm sure some of you have heard, the chibi hath arrived a bit before schedule... *grins sheepishly*

Due to my rising blood pressure and that the baby was in a breech position, I ended up having a C-section. >< I do NOT recommend these ; It's much less painful the other way...

The surgery went well, the baby is doing fine. He should get to come home either tomorrow, or Monday, probably Monday. I've been taking pics and as soon I get them developed, I'll post a few. ^^ He's a cute lil guy, and I'm not saying that just because he's mine ^_~

Well, I've got to run, have to go back up to the hospital and check on the lil squirt. *grins* I'll update more when I come back. ]]> ~HanaNoir http://HanaNoir.deviantart.com/journal/4514346/ http://HanaNoir.deviantart.com/journal/4514346/ Sun, 06 Feb 2005 17:51:38 PST
I've been having problems with my blood pressure, and my doctor is making me come in twice a week for monitoring. So, every Monday and Thursday I have to drag up to the hospital (a 45 minute drive) and spend about an hour hooked up to machines to monitor the baby's heart rate and to see if I'm having contractions. Whoopie...

I'm currently at 33 weeks gestation (or 8 months for those who, like me, are too lazy to do the math ^^). I delivered my first son at 34 weeks, due to complications from high blook pressure, and I'm hoping to avoid that this time around and make it at least a little bit closer to full term.

The doc has me spending most of my time resting with my feet propped up. -_- Ech. It's sooooo boring... there's only so much television one can endure. >< At least I have cable and don't have to put up with the daytime soaps. *grins*

The diabetes is under control... it's actually the least of my problems, because my sugar levels are staying where they're supposed to. *grins wryly* I've put on a bit of weight and it looks like I'm smuggling a basketball. I suppose I should get someone to take a picture of me to show you guys. ^^

I posted the latest ultrasound pic, and I'll post any new ones I get. Since I have to go in every Thursday for an ultrasound, that should be once a week, if I can find the time and energy for it.

Blah... I HATE being so tired and sleep all the darn time... Of course, once the baby gets here, I'll STILL be tired and sleepy, just for different reasons

All in all, things could be worse, at least they don't have me on total bed rest in the hospital. >< *shudders* Let's hope THAT doesn't happen...

Later! ]]> ~HanaNoir http://HanaNoir.deviantart.com/journal/4327020/ http://HanaNoir.deviantart.com/journal/4327020/ Sat, 15 Jan 2005 13:09:19 PST

Things are still going well on the chibi front, blood pressure is good, and blood sugar is keeping within normal ranges. Went in on the 21st of November for my ultrasound. We're having another little boy. ^^

Supposed to be moving in another month or so... that's cutting it pretty close but nothing I can do for it. It'll be nice to be in a bigger place with more space. ^^ not to mention TWO bathrooms. *grins*

It's only ten more weeks til the baby is due and I'm back in the narcolepsy stage of things. I sit down and get comfortable and the next thing I know, I'm sound asleep. *chuckles*

Well, can't think of much else... *shrugs* Fighting a cold at the moment, but other than that, I'm doing pretty good. ^__^

Later! ]]> ~HanaNoir http://HanaNoir.deviantart.com/journal/3803864/ http://HanaNoir.deviantart.com/journal/3803864/ Wed, 10 Nov 2004 17:51:43 PST
Been so busy lately... >< Feels like I've put about 500 miles on my poor minivan going back and forth to the hospital...

The chibi has been going once a week to check on his arm. Today was his most recent visit, they took out the pin and put him in a short cast. He doesn't have to go back for TWO WEEKS! *faints in relief*

I've been tracking back and forth a lot myself... blah. Had OB visits, nutritionist visit, bloodwork done. All the loverly things they do to women when they're with child.

Speaking of which, things are going well on that front. All my test results are good, vitals are always good. I feel sleepy a lot, but the doc said that's normal enough. I'm now at 20 weeks, and the lil bean's been making itself known for about a week and a half now. Just random pokings and proddings here and there. Occasionally it pokes hard enough that we can feel it. The chibi was ALL excited to feel the baby move.

Eh, can't think of much else to say now... The hubby is in Iraq, north Baghdad, I think he said, and they're settling in. He calls when he can, sends postcards and letters. Tomorrow the chibi has a school program, so I'll be up there part of the day watching that.


That's pretty much current events here, I'll update in probably two weeks, when I go in for my ultrasound. Hopefully we'll get to find out if it's a boy or a girl. ^^ And I'll post the newest pics we get. ]]> ~HanaNoir http://HanaNoir.deviantart.com/journal/3542942/ http://HanaNoir.deviantart.com/journal/3542942/ Fri, 08 Oct 2004 14:17:56 PDT
Well, so far as artistic efforts go, I've got a fic that's been in the works for a while now. I posted a snippet of it here on DA, but it'll be on Nameksei.net in its' entirety. It's pretty big.

Also, my inner hentai is making itself known and I've got an interesting lil Di/Arashi PWP in the works. Depending upon my very fickle muse there might be some more of those to follow. They'll be posted in the After Hours section of Nameksei.net. I'm not even going to bother posting them here, given DA's stances on mature contents. I don't want to get banned because some 13 year old's parents get pissed off about their baby being exposed to pornography. *snorts*

On a personal note, I'm doing well... The hubby has left to do his tour overseas, so it might be a year before I see him again. Depends on what happens, and if he gets to take leave or not. Saw the OB for my regular appointment yesterday. I've lost about six pounds ^^ Must be the new diet. At my last visit, I was diagnosed with gestational diabetes, so I have to watch what I eat. So far it seems like the only thing that really sends my blood sugar up is potatoes. *sniffles* So, no french fries for me in the immediate future. *sighs longingly* But I'm doing well, the baby is fine ^^ Got to hear its' heartbeat yesterday on the lil handheld monitor. I've got a very blurry ultrasound picture that I can post if anyone is that interested in seeing it. *chuckles* It looked like a bean at that point. It's a bit more developed now.

Can't think of anything else... so...

Later, all ^^ ]]> ~HanaNoir http://HanaNoir.deviantart.com/journal/3225773/ http://HanaNoir.deviantart.com/journal/3225773/ Fri, 27 Aug 2004 16:01:00 PDT I've already shared the news with a few of you guys, but I guess I should bring the rest of you up to speed.

*grins wryly* If you don't see me around as much, it's because I'm probably off resting. Why am I off resting, you may ask? Weeeeeell... it seems I'm going to be a mommy (again) and nature has decreed that I should sleep all the time. Hopefully this will straighten itself out in a few more weeks, and I'll have my old energy back. Goodness knows I didn't have all that much to start with... heh. *chuckles* I'm currently at nine weeks, still in the first trimester, so it'll be a while before the podling arrives. I'll keep you guys updated as I learn more. ^___^

Oh, the shock! *grins wryly* Yeah, yeah. I wrote a lime-y ficlet starring everyone's favorite original character, Discord. (belongs to ) If you'd like to read it, I posted it over at Nameksei.net. Just look in the fanfiction archives.

I don't think it rated NC-17 billing, but is IS listed as R. Just a little warning for those who might need it. Otherwise, read it, hope ya like it, and please, feel free to leave me a review ^___^

I had the brilliant idea to try and help my computer by reloading Windows... Well, it worked.

Sort of...

It also killed my modem and completely f**ked my video card. So, I had to buy and install a new modem and find and download the drivers for my videocard.

THEN I had to reinstall all my programs ^^;; Oh, Photoshop 7... oh, Dreamweaver... why did I do that?? Not to mention, I had NO music!! oO Had to redownload Winamp *grins wryly*

I have learned a valuable lesson from all of this...

Do NOT reinstall your OS on a whim... ^^;;

Thank all that's holy that all my files were on the extra hard drive.
