Thorny Path Chapter 9

I finished chapter 9 of Thorny Path today, so posted it up for your viewing pleasure.

It's been about a month since I updated that story, but with the hustle and bustle of the Christmas period, I didn't really have time until now.

There weren't really any major plot developments this chapter, just a bit of teasing actiony moments which will lead on to a more explanatory chapter 10.

I'll be working on some original work in the coming weeks before I think about updating my fan fics again. I need to think about income and such after all. >.>

New One-Shot

Okay, so I posted this new one-shot I'm referring to, called Wintry Solace, quite a while ago. It is of course, another UDDUP fan fic, and I had originally intended it to be a Christmas Special for my fanfic.net readers, but I finished it a lot sooner than I thought I would, so I posted it up early.

It is, essentially, a smut fic. *gasps* The fandom was lacking, what could I do? D:

Clicky here to go check it out.

In other news, I've been furiously working away on my latest course assignment, which is to write a short story of 2,200 words. I'm not used to writing anything that short, but I think I've managed to create a believable piece of fiction... I hope. :o

I'll post it up here once I have it all polished and shiny. ;)

Thorny Path Chapter 8

Chapter 8 of Thorny Path has just been posted up.

Phew, what a struggle it was to write that chapter. I'm not sure if it's my odd sleep cycle at the moment or something else, but I had a tough time getting the word count up. :o

Thankfully I had some help via some suggestions, so it's finally all done. :D

I'm hoping the next chapter will come more easily to me. :o

And yup, I've still not completed the lasted chapter of Entwined. I just can't seem to find any motivation to continue it at the moment. It's not as if the story is dull or anything either. Bah. :/

Thorny Path Chapter 7

I posted up chapter 7 of Thorny Path last night. Woot!

Even though I'm suffering pretty badly with jet lag this time around, it doesn't seem to be affecting my writing too much. I think I made a little slip up at the end of the chapter, but it's nothing too huge, and it did sort of fit in with the mood of that scene.

Going to start on chapter 8 now. :)

I wonder if I have the right balance of action and fluffiness now... *shrugs*

Thorny Path Chapter 6

Yep it's that time again. A new chapter of Thorny Path has been finished and posted up for your viewing pleasure. ;)

Things get more action-y, with Mamoru indulging in one of his favourite pastimes, and Haruka collapses! :O I had to bump the rating up to M as Mamoru was... well, Mamoru. It happened a bit sooner than I had expected, but ack well, what can you do when a story writes itself? :P

Flying back to Sweden tomorrow, so with all the travelling and the recovering from said travelling, I may not have a new chapter finished for the next few days. You never know though! :D

Thorny Path Chapter 5

Chapter 5 of Thorny Path has been uploaded! Well, technically, it was posted up last night, but my memory failed me again, and I forgot to post here. >.>

This chapter has no MamXHaru interaction. :( Well, I needed to get the plot sort of kick-started, so I concentrated on developing that. So, Mamoru's in some scenes we're more familiar with. I think that's a good thing... right? >.<

Anyway, I'm still failing at updating Entwined. I probably won't get a chance now until I get back to Sweden. :<

Thorny Path Chapter 4

Whoo! Chapter 4 of Thorny Path is completed and posted up! Go me! :D

I really enjoyed writing this chapter, even though there wasn't any action in it, which is one of my favourite things to write... hmm, what's wrong with me? Am I turning soft? :o Oh oh, but Mamoru did draw his weapon, so that's got to account for something, right? There's a lot of thought dialogue in this fic, a lot more than I usually put in my stories, and it's rather difficult to know if I'm doing it in a way that's true to the characters. I mean, you don't get to see a lot of the characters' inner thoughts in the manga, because of the type of media it is, so their true inner selves are difficult to see, and thus portray. Meh, I'll just chalk it down to artistic license. That usually works. :P

I also got some more of Entwined chapter 14 written. It's coming along... slowly, but surely. >.>

Thorny Path Chapter 3

Chapter 3 of Thorny Path is up!

Was a little bit later than I had planned, but was still a heck of a lot faster than my usual updates. :P

I just realised, the main character is a blind swordsman who kicks ass, but I've written three chapters where he hasn't kicked anyone's ass yet! Amg! In fact, he's not even drawn his weapon yet. >.> Must remedy that!

Will try and get Entwined chapter 14 finished in the next day or two. :)

Thorny Path Chapter 2

I posted up chapter 2 of Thorny Path last night. That surely must be a new record for me. Two chapters in one day! O.o

I'm also in the middle of writing chapter 3. That should be finished by the end of the day, and will be available for reading online tonight... hopefully.

The story's only had about 20 hits so far, which isn't all that surprising, sadly. I wonder how I could get the word out about the UDDUP manga so more people can start reading it, and enjoying its awesomeness? :O On a brighter note, I have 2 fantastic reviewers already, who actually put an effort into their reviews instead of the usual 'update plx' and no more. Thank you, you two! You know who you are! :D

As for Entwined. I'm about halfway through chapter 14. I'll probably finish that chapter before writing any more of Thorny Path, but it shouldn't take all that long. :)

Back to the grindstone then! :D

New Fan Fiction

Yes, I know, I probably have too much on my plate already, but I just couldn't help myself. >.>

I've just posted the prologue up for my new fan fiction called Thorny Path. It's based on the Until Death Do Us Part manga, which is sorely under-read I might add! It is also extremely poorly represented, fan fiction wise, which was a contributing factor to me writing this now.

The story is based around the manga's two main characters - Mamoru and Haruka. In the manga you can tell a romance is bound to bloom between them, but Haruka is only 12 at the start of it, so I'm using some artistic license to move my own story on in years a bit to make the romance a bit less... icky. :p It is first and foremost an action story though, so expect lots of kick ass swordplay and general awesomeness. ;)

Now to finish Chapter 14 of Entwined, so I don't feel too guilty. :P
