updates

Hi! It's been forever! This site isn't abandoned, I swear. It's just... being a couch potato. Or something. I don't know... *twiddles thumbs guiltily* BUT guess what? First update of the year: LynnKouji wrote Chapter 2 of her formally untitled ficcie – now called "You and Me" – and updated the Prologue and Chapter 1. It's uber awesome – enjoy! *beams at Lynn* Thank you, honey!

Now onto some sort of disturbing news. There really isn't a graceful way to go about the subject, so I'll just spill: Phoenix Fire is in pretty bad trouble. The minor of which being is that she broke her laptop, the major being something I'm probably not at liberty to discuss. Basically, what it comes down to is that she won't be able to be my assistant anymore. She's got some serious, like serious, stuff to deal with. So, it's me and Den again... *to Den* just like old times, baby girl! *Den looks as demented and lopsided as ever* uh, lol, yeah...

But to end on a good note: HAPPY CHINESE NEW YEAR! It's the year of Ox, starting today! Let's make it a good one! (Read: let's hope for lots of p0rns.) XD

<3 Chihaya

Happy New Year!
I trust everyone's enjoying their holidays and had a wonderful Christmas (those folks that celebrate it)! Best wishes for eeeeeeeeeeeeeeveryone from me and a sweet, little ficlet from Phoenix: On Christmas Day. Erm, it was technically for Christmas, but close enough. Also, David wrote a new ficlet called I Remember Me? Check it out. ^_^

Hrmmm, no other news besides that. Sincerest thank you to all of you who still visit this site, but I'm afraid it won't be seeing much action in the near future. I'm just not into fics or GW anymore. (Or pretty much anything, but that's another story.) So, I don't really know what's going to happen... guess we'll see?

<3 Chihaya

Hiya! Been a while! What was I doing all time? Nothing in particular. Waiting out a block. Blaaaaaah. Well, it feels like it's almost over because... I drew something! 4x5: you want it – something you totally didn't want to see, lol. It's, like, uber crack. In my defense, the idea was not mine, but *points* AGENT MIDNIGHT'S!! She made me do it! (ILU, YOU KNOW IT! XD)

In other news, Densetsu got one new submission: Our Little Lights: Chapter 4 by Kareian. ZOMG, at last! I thought this place was pretty much abandoned. (Even by me, awwwww.)

lol, well, that's about it. Erm, I'm sorry I'm taking so long to revamp the last two writers, Missie and Marika. They're so good, but... have so many stories. I'm working on it though! Slowly.

<3 Chihaya

Minor news: I've added links to author ff.net accounts (everyone I could find anyway). Why? First, so you can read their fics that aren't available here. Second, so anyone in the mood to review can go there and leave a comment, because it's beyond my capacity to install a comment system at the Den. As well as beyond my patience. Sorry, kids, this webmistress ran out of steam!

Alas, I must apologize to Lilangel4u, QuatreRaberbaWinner, Blue Violet because I can't revamp any more fics either. I just can't. *totally deflated* I did what I could, it took pretty much forever, and now I don't have it in me to continue with this sort labor. The final archives to be revamped will be: Missie and Marika.

Also, I wish I could still whip out as many layouts as I used to. I'm very much hoping to make a new one for the new year (this tiny font is incredibly irritating). We'll see what happens though.

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaanyway. Moving on to actual updates: PLEASE WELCOME A NEW FAN ARTIST! And an amazing one: Miss Amerikka!!!!!!! *LOVE* ZOMG, she's so good!! I lol'd so hard at her funny piccies! Ahhhhh! Oh and she is currently accepting commissions, so don't hold back—she can draw you something genius! (^3^)

<3 Chihaya

Happy Halloween everyone!!! We've got treats for you! *grin* First, the ficlets: the illustrious Agent Midnight wrote us Halloween Ficlet! D'awwwwwwww, thanks babe! *lovelovelove* PhoenixFire wrote a ficlet too... wait, two ficlets?? What Wishes May Come and Happy Ending After All. OMG, ILU SO HARD!!!!!! Also, I drew some creepy fanart: 6x2: vampires, which I meant to dedicate to Cinderzol, but... I don't like it. It's just not in her style. Blaaaaaaaah. Yeah, I'm kind of a phail, since I actually meant to draw a 4x5 and a 3x1... but it just didn't happen. lol, saaaaaaaaaad.

Anywho, Orange Den wont stay orange forever and ever—just for today. ^___^

PS: guess who got High School Musical candy this year??? Muahahahahaha!

<3 Chihaya

World, stand amazed: Agent Midnight has blessed us with another ficlet: Maybe Again?. *pees pants from happiness* ...ahem. *is miraculously decent again* And I have drawn a fan art that's totally inspired by Midnight's wacky ideas: master and doll. Though PhoenixFire has a ficcie in progress about this very theme, so it's definitely her influence too. *waves to pixie* Hullllooooooo! XD

Also, great news: I've finished posting ShenLong's Chimaera fic! It was an epic feat, both in writing and posting it. Enjoy!

Coming soon: a new and totally awesome fan artist! (Once I find the time to archive...)

<3 Chihaya

Guys, guys, two miracles have happened in the past couple of days. Are you ready? Miracle #1: Shimejiro, the wonderful and amazing fan artist is now archived at Densetsu... TOTAL JOYGASM!!!!!!! I just adore her art and totally wish I could draw like her. So inspiring! Ya'll have to take a look at the beauty (and send feedback)! *beams* Thank you so much, dear Shimejiro!! ^_______________^ <333333333

Subsequently, the fan art index page had to be reformatted to use the same sorting script (that my sweetheart brother wrote for me) as in the fan fiction section, since we're hosting quite a few artists. Of course, I couldn't be happier. I ♥ GW fanart!!! So much that I drew a new piccie: Duo after a shower, hehe. I know, it's been a while! But there'll be a lot more soon, since I've just agreed on a collab and art trade over Deviant Art, plus three pics for Halloween. It'll be great! :D

Now, miracle #2: the brilliant and elusive Agent Midnight, who has been in retirement for several years now, has written again!!!!! Behold, a ficlet called Once. But that's not all! My babatron has also written Densetsu a Halloween ficlet!! It wont be posted until Halloween, naturally, so you'll have to wait until then! *grin*

Other than that, I've uploaded 46-86 of ShenLong's Chimaera and revamped: Moonrose02. Next: Missie!

Finally, a quick note: now that I'm almost done revamping the fan fiction archive, I'll be adding links to authors' ff.net accounts (at the top of their pages), so ya'll have the option to continue reading their work that isn't stored on Densetsu. Ne! ^_^

<3 Chihaya

Holy jeepers, batman, NEWS!! To start off, the fics: PhoenixFire and I are slowly posting (or, I'm posting and PF is watching D.Gray Man... lol, oh I say it with love!) ShenLong's epic Chimaera fic. Parts 1-45 are up, leaving 80 to go. Also, Mahan Mayhem has revised Parts 4 and 5 of Soldiers Of Apocalypse. Btw, he is seeking a beta, so if anyone out there is interested, please shoot him an email. Thanks!

Revamped: Naomi. About that: as I was revamping Naomi's fics, I searched for her on teh interwebs and... found nothing at all. Either I didn't search hard enough or she removed all traces of her work? If the latter is true... *pained look* writers, why punish us like that? Why not just leave your work where hopeless, sentimental dorks like us can keep re-reading it to no end? Now I'm kicking myself for not archiving the rest of her work when I had the chance. And I would have had I not had, like, a total breakdown and put the Den on hiatus. Le dramatic sigh!

Oh oh, final announcement (ok, more like request): Halloween is coming up and, well... I'd absolutely LOVE for someone to write us:
a Halloween ficlet!!
Seriously, it would make my year! I love Halloween soooooooooo much. So, writers, if you happen to have some free time... *huge, pleading eyes* I'd love you forevaaaaaaaaaar! <3333333333

<3 Chihaya

It's been forever, I feel like I should say something even though there are no updates. Why are there no updates? I dunno, guys, no one's writing. Except me, heh. That's right, what you're all definitely not waiting for: another Chi fic! HAHAHHAHA! If it turns out right, it'll be utterly demented yet kind of sort of endearing. Yeah, guess we'll see!

Writers: *huge watery eyes* p-please?? Write something? *weeps*

Oh right, in other news: I've been planning on making a ghetto layout for like forever and haven't gotten around to it, but it's so on my mind! I can't promise anything soon, but it should be the coolest one yet. Cause I've leveled up. :D

<3 Chihaya

Aaaaaand we're back from Anime Expo!!!!! It ruled so hard!!!!! That's right, Ophelia, PhoenixFire and I met up at Anime Expo, which was held at the LA Convention Center this year. Ophelia and I physically met for the first time after 7 years (I love you O.Mar, you're the best!!!!!!!). Same with Phoenix and I (pixie magic!!!!!!), though the two of us had a couple more firsts: seeing LA and going a con. Yeah, our first con. Isn't that crazy?! It was crazy! I wasn't aware that cons require one to switch gears into basic survival mode, what with no sleeping or eating—just pure adrenaline for 3 days straight. Yeah, we left 1 day early, boooooo. Oh well, we'll be fully prepared to invade for all 4 days come next year. As Yankee girls! Watch out, world. XD

"C'mon, Chi, where are the pics??" Pics are RIGHT HERE!!!!!! Ho shi- now you guys can finally see what I look like. :3 coming, I swear! It's just that instead of dumping everything into one folder, we've decided to put together a photo-story. Phoenix is working on that now, so bug her! Heheh. Meanwhile, a galaxy's worth of other people's AX pics here.

In other (utterly horrid) news: I totaled my car. Happy birthday to me! Yeah, just days before my birthday (it's on the 15th). Considering where I've driven before and how dangerous the conditions, this accident on a fine sunny day seems like a bizarre twist of fate. Well, I'm just thankful no one was hurt. And, yes, this impacts Densetsu: I wont be able to update as often as I used now because I need to concentrate on work, being in need of $$$$$$$$$$$$$ for a new car. -_-;;;

So, uh, if anyone would like to send me a birthday fics, fan art, or just a friendly "hello", my mood will be considerably uplifted. These be hard times for teh Chi.

<3 Chihaya

So, I was surfing DA not too long ago and stumbled upon, Seisei, who occasionally draws GW fan art and it is unfuckingbelievable. I just about peed my pants when I saw it. I mean, I haven't encountered fan art this beautiful in a while. What's more is that Seisei has agreed to let us host her gorgeousness. OMFG!!!!! *bangs fists on keyboard* GO LOOK! And send feedback! It's sooooooooo good! *euphoria*

In other news: it's official! Pixie, Ophelia and I are going to AX! In 7 days!!!!! AHHH!! I'm madly excited... I'd be bouncing off walls if I wasn't so exhausted. All this work jumped me and now I'm but a sad pile of tired. The vacay rest didn't last even a month, gundamnit all! Yeah, my emails are lagging pretty bad because of it, my apologies. Well, Ophelia and pixie with revive me, then I'll revert to my normal keyboard-mauling self. Alas, no updates will be posted until then.

One last thing: Peeeeeeeeeerseeeeeeeeeey, where art thou? *howls at the moon*

<3 Chihaya

So, I was randomly surfing the interwebs for GW stuff and first found these amazing cosplay pics. Aren't they cute?? Heart pang! Then found some really nice scans at Anime Paper (but there's a weird system you have to bypass to download the full size...meh). Then found the official Japanese GW site, Gundam-W.jp, where something unusual caught my eye: hi, hello, looking good. Yeah, uber prettified. It looks like they recently drew new DVD box covers—and the series isn't being remastered like I first thought (aww). Though that would be awesome. They'd make so much dough, ho man. Anyhow, those of you ardent enough to dish out your savings can buy the prettified box sets here: Memorial Box Part 1, Part 2, Part 3. All limited editions. Snap.

Other than that, I've updated the links section and removed the confusing "like this comment?" thing since it was bothering people.

And OMG, pixie, I hope you're all right. I'm so worried... ;_________;

<3 Chihaya

There be massive rejoicing! Why, you ask? Because the Den has a new and totally amazing fan artist archived: Karla (her art is so lovely it's unbelievable) and because LynnKouji wrote Chapter 1 for her Untitled ficcie. Kyaaaaaaaaaa!!! Please review! (Art can reviewed too *nodnod* ^_^)

And, for something amusing in an odd sort of way: I accidentally found this adorable Heero doll posing for pics on Flickr... face shot, body shot, in a kimono. lol, how random.

Lastly, major OMG alert: Toshihiko Seki, Duo's seiyuu, will be at Anime Expo!!!!!!!! I just about peed myself when I found out. He's, like, one of my most favorite seiyuu! I mean, who could forget his panting and moaning in Ai no Kusabi? And...and... we get to meet him! *astonishment followed by a volcanic nosebleed*

<3 Chihaya

*eyes ya'll deviously* Guys, I've got a surprise for you: I went on a reading spree the other night and stumbled upon two amazing authors, both of whom have agreed to let Densetsu host their ficcies. Squeeeeeeeee! K, ready? Please welcome yllom21, with a hilarious 1x5, and LynnKouji, with two utterly adorable 3x4's. ZOMG, awesome!! Also, ShenLong submitted several more tasty multipart lemons: Dance With Me?, its sequel The Dance of Angels, aaaaand the other two I'm still working on [EDIT MAY 30] Down On The Farm and Drabble Series - Signs. Mmmmmmm, so much goodness! *looks around, grins* Well, you know the drill: please R&R, thank you! ^__^

In other news: Anime Expo is in 35 days!!!!!!!! *jumps up and kicks the air* I'll be attending with my two lovers (ohohoho!), Ophelia Mar and PhoenixFire. Anyone else who's reading this gonna be there?? It'll be wild: LA in July, 50000 anime fanatics crammed under one roof, fireworks, booze, exhibitionism... ho man, I can't wait!

<3 Chihaya

Heya, I'm baaaaaaack! To lametastic Minnesota, booo. I'm so in denial right now...I'll seriously try to pretend I'm still in Florida for as long as I can cause it sucks ass here. And, uh, as part of my attempt to ignore reality, I've been working on Densetsu pretty much exclusively. Ended up (finally) revamping Nanashi, the Den's founder (best wishes, wherever you are!), and Triste, who is utterly amazing. Sad thing is that I checked if she's around anywhere and she's not—not even on ff.net! Triste, ya mad genius, what're ya thinking? Well, I still totally love you. Anywho, coming soon is Naomi and BlueViolet. Heh, yeah, I recently realized that I'm hosting, like, most of the GW yaoi fanfic sites' webmistresses. Dude, hawt! Orgy plz! XD

Sorry, getting sidetracked. Yes, there is new stuff: ShenLong graced us with 16 new ficcies. Thank you, Shen-chan, you've made Densetsu 16 times sexier! As always ya'll, please R&R! Many thanks. ^_^

Also, I was randomly thinking about how much I freaking love Cinderzol and how she's vanished. *(lovingly) taps foot in her general direction* Will the threat of smexy fanart make you come back?? *lovesick stare* XD

<3 Chihaya

Wow, been a while. Sorry for the lack of updates, guys. I had a really tough month in terms of work and ya'll school-age kids have finals, right? So, everyone's busy. I do have some news though: Densetsu has a new affiliate, the GWG - yay, active GW sites unite!! And I'm hoping to draw a little something (for Persey XD) before I leave on my vacation. Yep, I'll be out from 11th-22nd this month. Gonna go chill in Florida where May looks the way it's supposed to...*rolls eyes at cold, rainy Minnesota*

Also, a reminder that I am still revamping. There are 17 authors left, Triste being the closest to being done.

*twiddles thumbs* Uh, I've been exceptionally horrible about email this month and I apologize to those of you who are still waiting for a reply. *pained look* ...let's see, what else? OH! I did manage to watch a few eps of Chi's Sweet Home! Each ep is about 5 mins and not much happens, but it's fiercely adorable just the same. :P

MAY 9 EDIT: Persey, I herby declare my undying love for you and your stories → Storm Clouds: have my blood. Finished at 2:23am... *keels over*

MAY 10 EDIT: Ahhhh, I'm totally supposed to be sleeping but I wanted to post another one of Persey's stories. Here it is: White Shadows. Now all of her stories are archived on Densetsu, YAY!!! As always, please R&R! It's much appreciated. ^__^

<3 Chihaya

Attention world: Persephone Choiseul just finished A Little's Enough: chapter 4!!!! It's so good I can die!!! I know, Persey-sweetie, I should get my ass to bed, but ff's alert came at 11pm and I couldn't stop myself. *ecstatic arm dangling* I LOVE YOU FOR WRITING THIS! It just seriously can't get any better! Well, knowing you, it can and will. The promise of many more chapters makes me so happy, OMG. This is bliss.

AFTERNOON EDIT (as opposed to 1am edit, hehe): Kareian, our new author, wrote Our Little Lights: chapter 3. It's uber cute, please R&R! ^_^

<3 Chihaya

*glass shattering fangirl mating cry* Guuuuuuuuuuuuuuuys, please give a warm welcome to two new authors: TargetPractice and MsLarking! Both TargetPractice and MsLarking are utterly awesome and I couldn't be more delighted to host them! THANK YOU BOTH for letting me! *ecstatic* Do read their ficcies! I pretty much inhaled them (the fics, that is). Gods, I'm so happy... I was all depressed lately (which is how I ended up reading nonstop on ff.net) and then I found these dears. Love at first read! ^__________^ <3

Also, I've got a technical question (sparked by MsLarking): I've had some authors listed under the "misc" category for genre and that's not particularly helpful, so I've renamed it to "introspective", as these authors tend to write contemplative pieces. But I was wondering if there's an official name for it? I tried looking for one but with no luck. So, opinions anyone?

On a totally irrelevant note: I was checking Baka Updates releases for any new D.Gray man eps and, instead, found Chi's Sweet Home. It's about this insane chibi cat named Chi. I have no idea what this could possibly be about, but... its crazy face kinda reminds me of myself. Especially after I've spotted a really good author. LOL!

apr 10, 2008

I don't want to hide this update quite yet, so I'll just add to the goodness: the talented Persephone Choiseul wrote Lonely Day: chapter 12!!!!! Let us read, rejoice, and review! R&R&R, lol.

<3 Chihaya

Alright, it's technically not the 1st anymore since it's past midnight, but I'm awake and updating, so I say it is! Hyuhyuhyu. Right, well... yesterday, I tried to get some work done (and we all know I've got more than enough of it) but nothing came out. Maybe it was the colossal snow storm (yes, Minnesota has snow storms in April) that made me so drowsy and languid that I had to give up my struggle for productivity and indulge in some fan fiction instead. (I know, I'm so original.) I thought to myself, "hmmm, Persey's got stories I haven't read—why don't I catch up on those?" YEAH, I read all 22 chapters of Storm Clouds for 10 HOURS STRAIGHT. Because I'm insane... insane uber fan. *scary face* Haha, but yeah, I have it posted so ya'll can read (and review!) it too—and on a black background, as not to scorch your eyes on ff.net's stupid white background. It sucks, it fuxx0rs my eyeballs! It's like staring at a freaking light bulb. Sorry, now I'm just rambling... XD

Ohhh and guess whose birthday it is today?? Ophelia's! HAPPY BIRTHDAY, BABE!!!!!! I heart you lots and lots!!! *snugglemolest*

Erm, I should mention that the archive is kind of in a state of chaos: links to authors are appearing and disappearing. We apologize and kindly ask you to bear with us for just a bit longer. We've almost got everything sorted out. *firm nod*

Lastly, I know there are lots of people waiting for emails from me. I'm sorry guys, I'm getting to them, I swear!

<3 Chihaya

Quick update cause I'm uber tired and stressed out (multiple clients + job hunting = never ending fun): our awesome Persephone Choiseul wrote A Little's Enough: Chapter 3 Thank you, Persey! Omnomnomnom, please R&R!

<3 Chihaya

JOYGASM! Persephone Choiseul wrote Chapter 11 of her witty and delightful Lonely Day as well as the sublimely brutal sequel to The Little Things Give You Away, Lifeline: Chapter 1 and Chapter 2. I'M IN LUST WITH YOU, PERSEY! *initiates orgy with Persey and her fics* ... *emerges 5 hours later, flushed, adjusting suit and tie* Heh, as I was saying though... please R&R!

Also, I'm going to repeat myself for the thousandth time by saying that Densetu's archive is a work in progress; there will be additions and removals (my awesome pixie PhoenixFire is taking on the archive!). But after this, we wont touch a thing! And we're almost done. Thanks for hanging in there, guys! If you have any complaints: flame me! I like it rough. XD

PS: emails coming soon, as usual. *rolls eyes at self*

<3 Chihaya

Chi's been a busy bee, ya'll, revamping and updating (and booking for AnimeExpo, YUS!). Firstly, I've got Persey-darling's The Little Things Give You Away, the sequel to Attempting Repair, posted. Along with The Message and The Gift, Persey's slightly older works. Hehe, I feel funny calling a ficcie from 2007 "older"—the Den's got fics from 1999!! As a matter of fact, some of which I've edited and re-posted today. Before I get to that though: please please please review Persephone Choiseul's ficcies—as well as those of your other favorite writers! Nothing feels better than a few kind words on an otherwise crappy day.

Onto the revamps: I've got several more author archives up, including Star_Sun and Shinigami Neko.

Pensive One: OMG, how can it be that we've lost touch?? It's mind-boggling! Well, I'm sure it was my fault (please forgive me!), but I've been thinking about it lately and can't figure out how I could've possibly let you go! What a woeful mystery. Uh, I suddenly hear Midnight's voice calling me a fool and telling me to email you already... but I'm too ashamed! I r fail.

NekoNeko: lol, my brave one, your archive survived epic rapeage. It's a shinning example of how ficcies from 1999, posted by Nanashi, endured my god awful coding, two revamps, edits (yes, I policed your spelling and punctuation, as you had some...curious ideas about spacing), and are still somehow in one piece. *medal of honor*

While I'm at it, the revamps status is: about 17 authors left!!! SO CLOSE!! *starts wheezing from all the excitement... cause I'm old*

<3 Chihaya

I'm gonna make a quick update with the promise of reviews and emails later, as usual, because this time I'm all dizzy and disoriented (I drank one of those organic power drinks this morning and it's been messing with me all day) and my neck busted out in hives. Wtf?! That never happens to me...UGH. I'm like a walking human experiment today. Uh, sorry, back to the updates: the incredible Persephone Choiseul wrote Chapter 2 of A Little's Enough and David revised Part 3 of the Soldiers Of Apocalypse, which I revised in turn because I've been posting the format wrong (sorry, hun!). So, now it's as intended: broken up into parts then chapters.

And, yes, I'm not done revamping the old archive yet.

<3 Chihaya

Good news: Persephone Choiseul blessed us with a new chapter of Lonely Day. Let us rejoice and review!!

Sad news: Trowacko's site, Sin, just expired... my heart fills with woe! It's always such a shame to see great GW fansites go down. We'll miss you, babe!! ;____;

On a lighter note (sorry, manic-depressive update): it just occurred to me that some ficcies here are mighty steamy... like blush inducing, temperature elevating, eyebrow raising, heartbeat accelerating, breathtaking steamy. (Yes, I just read ShenLong's newest submissions, lol.) And, oddly, it's never crossed my mind to put up an "are you over 18" screen for certain ficcies. Any thoughts? Rather, let me put it this way: is anyone here UNDER 18? Because I get the feeling that the Den's for old bats such as myself, lol.

PS: emails coming soon!

<3 Chihaya

Haaay guuuys, I'm back with updates! Our lovely Persephone Choiseul wrote a sequel to her anti-Valentine's oneshot, Attempting Repair, so you can have your heart broken all over again. And who isn't up for that on a fine sunny afternoon?? *maniacal face* Anywho, I've also archived her first(?) ficcie: A Moment In Rain (review to come when it's not 2:30am). Please send her feedback, will you dears? Much obliged. ^_^

Other than that, more rearranging happened with Densetsu's archive: I've revamped a couple more authors and removed certain others because I'm a ghastly beast their fics were either really short and hopelessly incomplete or just plain incoherent. Or both. *kicked in the face* Arghuggh...ok, that's fair! If you suspect that you may be one of those authors, you can...um, take a fly swatter and smack my ass with it? XD

One more thought: is anyone out there going to AnimeExpo this July?? Because Ophelia and I so are! We'll be, like, the most fabulous Narutard crack pairing evaaaaar!!111 Right, babe? *tacklemolest*

No, one MORE thought: Shen-chan, so sorry to keep you waiting; Chi will review very soon!!

EDIT: uh, so I was feeling nice and murderous and drew wolf crier, an illustration to one of my most favorite stories of all time, Jay's Crying Wolf... 7 years after I read it. Yeah, because I'm cracked out like that. No, in truth, it's because I didn't feel that I had the capacity to illustrate it properly (and I really didn't) until now. So, finally I did it. Yeah, the story is struck me to the soul. Still does. Fancy that, hmm?

EDIT #2: lulz, I can't stop updating! Well, only one hour left (in my time zone), so this is the last notice. See, I was going through my old emails and discovered a long lost affiliate, Kaika's The Shade! Erm, site seems to be down at the moment. In any case, the link got lost in shuffle (my hard drive getting wiped had something to do with that), but we've reconnected and are affiliated once more, yay! Sorry about that, Kaika-chan, and thank you! *huggle*

<3 Chihaya

Happy Valentine's Day! Here's my gift to you all: steamy 5x2. I decided that someone is definitely getting laid this Valentine's day, even it's not me, lol. So, imagine Duo typing away at his 'puter late at night when a sleepy Wu lures him to bed, where they engage in the hottest smex known to man. *fantasizes* Did I inspire anyone to write about it? No? Hmmmm. How about this: does anyone have a V-day ficcie to recommend? Let us know if you do! ^-^

On a random note: I just found (and linked to) Todokanai, a GW doujinshi site. What win! There you can get all those dj's we've all seen the covers to but never the inside. Anywho, I hope ya'll have a pleasant day today! My fellow singles: eat lots of chocolate. XD

EDIT: Almost midnight update! Our devious authoress, Persephone Choiseul, has written a splendidly heartbreaking anti-Valentine's oneshot, Beyond Repair. It's so good it'll have you weeping until the crack of dawn. Mmm, that sounds delightful—I think I'll read it a couple more times! XD

<3 Chihaya

Oohh Chi-Chi's got lots of tasty updates for you! Firstly, our sexy babe ShenLong has graced us with 7 new fabulous stories: Fast Food, Fine Tuning, Fool, Gift Wrapped, Hard Drive, Hero, and Hot Summer Night. And I've archived one more story by the quirky and brilliant Persephone Choiseul: A Little's Enough. Please send reviews to these awesome gals cause you know you liked what you've read! XD

A quick reminder that, yes, I'm still revamping (about 24 authors to go) and, as I've mentioned earlier, the following authors will be addressed last due to the wealth of stories in their archives: Blue Violet, Hee-Chan, Lilangel4u, Marika, Missie, Quatre Raberba Winner, Triste. Thanks for your patience!

Some notes: thank you Persephone Choiseul for pointing out that no pop up images could be saved in IE. That's fixed now, but I gotta say, it's been like that for years and no one's mentioned it until now? Guuuuuuuuuuys! *taps foot* Also, this comment script is kinda driving me crazy. Do you see the bounce? There's a bounce! Bounce, bounce, bounce. And it keeps displaying the wrong news threads under every entry—wft is with THAT? Ungh! On the plus side, it goes away once you hit refresh? (Geh, hardly a plus...) OMG I fixed it. O_O

<3 Chihaya

PS: dears, reviews and emails will be sent tomorrow because it's exactly 1am right now. (Hah, 1am updates—don'tcha love 'em?)

OMG OMG, one of the most amazing authors just granted us permission to host her splendidly addicting (tried and tested on this Chi) ficcies: Persephone Choiseul! Thank you, darling!!! I'm soooooo happy! *gushes* I'll be archiving her work as I read it, so expect much more excellence in the near future. Gods, her stories are so good I fell into an euphoric hypnosis and drew her a fanart: an illustration to Lonely Day (the ficcie I'm absolutely obsessed with right now). That was yesterday and today, I drew another one but shhhh, I'm not done with it yet! I'll upload it at 1am or something, kekeke right here: oh story, thou art so cool. Erm, I was going to say something else but I forgot cause today is my dad's birthday and I ate too much cake. ^______^

Afterthought: I've just realized that I may have hurt some people's feeling with my selective fangirling and ought to explain the reasons behind it. See, I'm the extremely impulsive and somewhat idiosyncratic artist type that does stuff on a whim. If I feel like drawing something this instant, I do; if I don't then that's that. Also (this said without exaggeration) I have at least 20 things on my to-do list at any given time. I can't do them all at once, hence procrastination. Basically, please don't take it personally if I've drawn fanart for someone's fic and not yours, or if I've fangirled over someone more or something. It's not that I like anyone less—in fact, I love you all a lot and I really don't want anyone to feel left out, so please keep this in mind, mmk? Many thanks. (I should stick this note into my fanart section or something.)

PS: lol, sloganizer.
PSS: sorry about the rampant comments at the top - I didn't realize IE was displaying those.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, AGENT MIDNIGHT! Awwwww, baaaaaaaabe, you're all grown up! *wraps you in a great big hug* (I haven't got a gift for you yet but I will soon because I just had this super hawt dream of L with his shirt off, lol)

PS: ok, is there no perfect comment script out there? Because as awesome as this one, it reloads the page for every news entry, hence the weird bouncing you see. :(

The pixie has returned! *music plays. takes a bow* Sorry for worrying you, Chi-chan! *patpats and sprinkles with pixiedust* I love the new Den and for any fans of my work (All 2 of you) I have two Christmas ficcies that Chi-dear accidentally removed. I shall be reuploading them and then you can go take a gander. Much love all around!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, PHOENIXFIRE! That's right, today is my dear pixie's birthday!! *cheers* We love you! This is a piccie I drew for her—I hope you like it, babe! *mysterious look* But that's not all: guess whose birthday is coming up in two days?? Agent Midnight's! Ahh, my favorite Aquarians... *mass huggles*

Also, I've done 2 more revamps, so that makes 24 authors left. Just a reminder that the following author sections will take will be the last to be addressed due to the size of their archive: Blue Violet, Hee-Chan, Lilangel4u, Marika, Missie, Quatre Raberba Winner, Triste.

Guys, I'm really excited to tell you that Densetsu has a new writer: Kareian with two incredibly fascinating stories. I literally held my breath while reading through each chapter. Kareian: thank you for letting us host you, dear! You're amazing! Minna-san: please review her story and encourage her to write more! Thank you!

In other news: I'm contemplating drawing the dumbest doujinshi ever about Quatre stealing Yuy's laptop and becoming addicted to the internet. And I wanna do it in black and white in Microsoft Paint to make it extra retarded. HAHAHA! Oh that reminds me: I was going to add a poll...

And...my pixie is still missing. Woe is me! ;_____; PIXIE FOUND! *hugs the hell out of Phoenix* I missed yoouuuu!

Edit: revamped 4 more authors (yey!), which leaves about 26? Here's a list of really awesome writers who's sections are gigantic and will take 30-40 hours each: Blue Violet, Hee-Chan, Lilangel4u, Marika, Missie, Quatre Raberba Winner, Triste. Sorry, loves, I'm doing the quick people first.

Lots of news! First of all: I am so excited to tell you that BeckiebooTwo has agreed to let us host her amazing fan art! I'M SO HAPPY! Thank you, hun, I love your art so hard!! Second: I am ALMOST done converting everything! I know, isn't it the greatest? The fan art section has 9 people left IS DONE (massive rejoicing) and fan fiction has about 30. I've revamped a whole lot of people this week, including David and Ophelia—finally!! And, again, the unfinished sections cannot be displayed due to the nature of the script. Third: I've put up a Q&A in About since I think the Den kind of needs one.

In other news: Phoenix, my magical pixie, has disappeared. I sincerely hope it's not for good, because that would be totally traumatic and prove that there's something karmically wrong with this website (lol, Ophelia, you know what I mean). So, come back, pixie, come back!

Edit: the contact forms work now. They're not bug-free, but they will send your message. :P

Hi ya'll! Chi here with some news: I paid this site a visit the other day and, yeah, something broke again (my poor neglected website, is there ever a time when you're all right?). It seemed to me the perfect time to post the new layout, since fresh code makes bugs go away... for the most part. Not everything is ready, so you'll see me editing stuff within the next couple days. I'll let ya'll know when this place is good and done.

• fan fiction: down UP, BUT INCOMPLETE
• contact: down
• cute news: down set up alternative (Phoenix, I'll tell you about it once you get back to me)
• counters: installing new ones eh, old ones work best
• fan art: fixed it up so it works and looks much better (' v ')

jan 16: Mk, the fan fiction section is up, but is by no means complete. Do not panic! There are at least 20 authors still missing, but due to the nature of my new revolutionary script (thank you, Risujin!!!), I cannot list those whose files aren't ready. It works like this: a function prints each author's name along with the year they last updated and their pairings/genre tendency; but it cannot print a name without a link. Ah, it's so great though! I wish I had it years ago. Well, Phoenix and I will be inviting many new writers (if they'll have us, heh), so hopefully, it'll come to good use.
