No, this is never getting posted as art. This is me, being a desperate no talent hack, alright? lol


Yep. It's an all-important question, since I'll be posting these in three or four different places when I get started!

If you really want to cheat, you can also vote for this on my Fanfiction.net profile and my dA journal...
That way, you could several times, I guess...?

Anyway!
Answer A-G in the comments! If your answer is G, please just add your idea in your comment....

I do need an answer quickly, so  get your votes in soon!
Poll will close at the end of the week (AUGUST 31st)!

The image is my modification of the template image FF.net uses for polls. I thought I'd get a few more results with it posted here, but I forgot to change what "G" said...

I have a new story idea, for all of the Final Fantasy VII fans out there!(Of course, I fully intend to write it myself. I just want to share~ )So far, I want to call it "Matchmaker, Matchmaker".

I was greatly inspired by this story called "Vanilla" [by Sorceress Fantasia] on ff.net. On the surface, the plot will sound really similar, but it will be very different, I promise!
Aditional inspiration came from another fan-fiction called "Suburbia" [by Falaphesian], Supernatural (created by Eric Kripke), a handful of songs so far ("Use Somebody" - Kings of Leon; "Big Girls Don't Cry" - Fergie; "Demons" - Imagine Dragons; "Titanium" - David Guetta feat. Sia;  "Everybody Talks" - Neon Tress), and a 1999 novel called "A Ghost For Maggie" by Emily Charmichael.

Anyway! I wanted to try a new pairing --one I'd never written before-- and none of my in-progress works would let me do that (well, one of them might, but only if I make it part of a set >.<).
What pairing, you ask?
Cloud Strife and Vincent Valentine.

I know I've never attempted anything like this before... and it is intimidating, but I really want to take a shot at it.

The plot summary:
This was not how things were supposed to go. Tifa wasn't supposed to die and leave her best friend Cloud all alone, she wasn't supposed to come back as a ghost, and she sure as hell wasn't supposed to slip into Cloud's body and convience the dark and mysterious Valentine to take a chance on a relationship with Cloud! To think he'd been missing her, faults and all!

I know, I know. It sounds so similar, if you checked out the other story... so I'll give a little more detail...

Plot Synopsis:
Six months after the death of his best friend, Cloud Strife is still attempting to cope by avoiding having the time or clarity of mind to dwell on Tifa. For a long time, Tifa had been his only friend, so she left him her bar to run in an effort to get him out more. Instead, Cloud has withdrawn more into himself.
Tifa's spirit, unable to find peace because of her sould-deep worry for her friend, has been wandering the earth for those same six months. Actually, she's just stayed pretty close to Cloud while she tried to figure out the tricks of the trade for a ghost. Finally, she's made enough progress to move things, appear before people, and --more importantly-- possess the living, at least for a while.
Convinced that if left to his own devices, Cloud will probably kill himself or wind up alone, Tifa hatches a plan  to get her best friend together with the only other person she can think of who knows how lost Cloud feels: Vincent Valentine. Even before the plan forms fully, she knows that Cloud will not have the persistance to talk to the other man  -let alone the understanding that they both need this chance- but Tifa's got that covered...
First things first, she had to snap him out of that stupid funk and get him to open the doors of her precious business.

It promises to be a rather dark story, at least at first. Cloud's not exactly got a great history (Vincent's won't be much better) and there is an honest to goodness poltergeist --and some personal demons (a few of which are more literal than others...)-- involved intricately in the plot.

As you probably guessed, it's an AU story. Nope, it's not going to fit with any other story I've written, but I have high hopes for it, because I am so pumped to write it right now~ I've already written most of one scene for the story --the first meeting, in point of fact! I am so stoked to work on this one!

My beloved "Rubber Bands, Super Glue, and Bullet Holes" has a new chapter posted! 3000+ words!

So it is now posted on fanfiction.net and here (and with functional links and everything!).

Don't forget! "One Day At A Time - SIDE A" is written and posted only on my lj only for the time being!

I missed my self imposed deadline by a matter of minutes because my stupid internet was being evil.

But I really like what I did with the story!

Blurb:
One Day At A Time – SIDE A
Fandom: Bleach
Teaser: “I'd heard it said that one did not love someone for all of the perfection in them but for all of their faults. If that were true, there would always be a hell of a lot to love about Shunsui Kyōraku.”
Rating: T, for swearing and male/male kissing
Main Pairing: Jūshiro Ukitake / Shunsui Kyōraku
Summary: I never intended to fall in love with my best friend. I remember the way things used to be, when I was so in love with my wife that I couldn't see straight, when every piece of me was still whole and perfect and complete. Even though things had changed, all I could do was take it one day at a time.
Universe: One Trick Pony (OTP) Universe! This takes place after the “One More Night” set and runs parallel to part of “One Trick Pony”. I'll get back to you on which chapter it follows.

If you want to read it (and want me to stop being such a friggin' tease about it, check out the entry!

I'm thinking about going ahead and posting some of the stories I still need to edit here. That way, I can post the new chapters as I go along...

Any thoughts?

Latters!

Ever at your pleasure,

I've been busy straightening things up here and working on those spoilers I mentioned yesterday.

Work, work, work.

Well, on the bright side, "Infatuation" is broken down into it's nine chapters now. Several others have been separated like that for better readability.

I've been promising that I'll get this spoiler up today, so I'm backing off here to get it done and posted for lj.
[UPDATE: 8/18 1.12 am IT'S POSTED so go check it out! -->   [livejournal post] ]

I'll be around~

Ever at your pleasure,
~Sins~

I posted four new stories here in the last 24 hours, all in parts and none of them complete yet. New chapters will be posted here soon after they are posted on fanfiction.net (and dA, for a select number of them).

This brings the total number of fan-fictions available from this site to thirty-nine.
Isn't that spectacular?!

In addition, there are extras (for "One Trick Pony"), short vocabulary lessons and clarifications (for "Utterly Hopeless // Utterly Helpless"), and clarification of terms used and a guide to honorifics (for "Strength") included for the interested and/or confused.

I feel down right triumphant!

In addition to the triumph above noted, I'm also back on my livejournal account.

To celebrate, I will be posting two very important spoilers for my "One Trick Pony" Universe!

I will not be posting them here, on my deviantART account, or on my FanFiction.net account. They will only be posted on my livejournal.

So! Keep an eye out for them and keep checking in at sinsofmidnight.livejournal.com!

After rearranging everything and publishing that version, I realized how few of my stories were up.

I'm not even sure if I have more than 12 posted and arranged here, and that was the entire reason I set up this site...

I've finally found a way I like to post chapter stories. Some of those will pop up here and there, and one or two of the ones done in one fell swoop will be rearranged to have chapters for convenient reading.
Most notable of the chapter-story posts is "Worth Fighting For", my Star Ocean III: Til the End of Time fan-fiction.
(PS: It's the new story of the week!)

I am getting to a point where I'm posting some of my in-progress stories --I just put up chapters for "Rubber Bands, Super Glue, and Bullet Holes", "Trauma", "Possession", and a few more (for Final Fantasy VII) .
Aside from the general updates, new chapters should be posted soon after they are posted on fanfiction.net.

These changes will be reflected the next time I update the site... but I'm not ready to do so yet, since it's still a bit of a mess around here...

I hope to get my two big Bleach in-progress projects up here soon!

Keep your eyes peeled for "One Trick Pony" and "You Can Have Chemistry In Chemistry, but Please Don't Have Biology in Biology!", alright?

Ever at your pleasure,
~Sins~

Well, I've fallen off the writer's wagon, apparently.
I won't lie and say I had good reason. Good reason is when you get a job and make good money.

I fell off to catch up on a telanovella/soap opera called "Hollywood Heights" (which I fell for last summer but never got a chance to catch up on) and to discover I am in love with the sound of Cody Longo's voice.
In case you were wondering what one distraction has to do with the other, Cody Longo stared in (Stars in? None of the fans are sure if we'll get more) "Hollywood Heights" as music sensation Eddie Duran...

Besides, as far as falling away from writing, it's only been a few short days and I was working on the story during that time, actually.

Still, I think it was worth it. I'm definitely enjoying my musical distraction (that would be Mister Cody Longo, children) and I sort of think of him as a new muse. I mean, he's gorgeous, he's got a great voice (that would be both his vocal prowess and his lyrics) --a girl can do a lot worse in a muse!

I usually can pick a solid favorite song pretty quick, but I'm torn between three of his. I think "She Said" is in the lead right now, but two days ago it was "Electric", so you can see how this goes right now...

Either way, he is a superb talent and I'm always happy when I hear his songs. If you have the chance, go check out his YouTube (I've already subscribed like a good fan-girl) or maybe just follow him on Twitter. I expect great things, personally.

Fucking hell, when had Reno stopped being so young?

When Legend had first introduced me to him, Reno had been nothing but a street punk suddenly plucked off the streets. He had been all sharp angles, gawky spindly limbs, and sarcasm. To see that he'd filled out –the skinny arms becoming muscular, the shoulders broadening with maturity, the chest filled out with hard work, the long slender legs becoming lean with muscle– should have changed my perspective and my opinion of him.

But I hadn't seen it, not at all. I'd noticed his improvement as an operative and properly rewarded him for it, but I'd never looked at him –really looked at him– and saw that the kid I'd met in the first place was no more.

~From chapter three of "Rubber Bands, Super Glue, and Bullet Holes" by SinsofMidnight

I've been working hard on chapter three for most of a week now.
I've got more than 2000 words for it, but I want to write the rest of one more perspective before I post it... because, while I'm a horrible little tease, even I'm not that cruel yet!

I will own up to the fact that it's not gonna be a two-chapter fic, like I'd originally hoped. Still, I think the story is better for some of the stylistic choices I made.

Since I've been working on it so tirelessly, I thought I'd share a bit about it, if that's aright with everyone.
