...I'm having an awful time with titles lately.  mintysage came up with this one for me, but I'm not sure it's quite what I'm looking for, so it may change.  At any rate, Shiro demanded a fic, and so he got it.

( Sleepless Nights (Ao no Exorcist/Blue Exorcist) )

After trying unsuccessfully to catch a performance of Riverdance for years, Mom and I finally got to see it tonight.  It was fantastic!  I've had a CD of the music for years, but the live performance - the dancing and live instruments (particularly the drums) - just adds so much.  (Besides which, about four songs from this particular performance are not on my CD.)  And, the entire audience was really into it, which I always love. 

And, posting a short that I finally got cleaned up and post-worthy. Many thanks to mintysage for all the beta work. And, the title!

( Salvation (Ao no Exorcist/Blue Exorcist) )

Okay, now, Rin, would you please inspire me? Pretty please? You're my favorite character, and I keep getting bunnies for other people!

I've finally gotten some writing done again, starting with this silliness inspired by Hughes' awesomely hilarious first anime pajamas.

( Weakness (Fullmetal Alchemist) )

I'm alive! Well, mostly ;) But, the allergies and some general crazy haven't gotten me yet.

At any rate, after much too long a delay, which I apologize for, the SWAT Kats Fanfiction Archive has finally been updated with new chapters to three existing fanfics and one new story.

The SWAT Kat Fan Art Page has also seen an update that includes a little surprise. One of the regular artists sent us a link to a nifty "making of" video/tutorial on his latest piece.

And, the SWAT Kats Fan Art Page is updated! The Archive should be up next... once I nag my brother for some software he seems to have forgotten in my upgrade.

A very random Ao no Exorcist/Blue Exorcist short I've been poking at for a while now.  I think it's finally good to go.

( Draw (Ao no Exorcist/Blue Exorcist) )

*squee!* It snowed! After a horrible non-winter, we finally got some snow! *dances* And, yes, mintysage, I will keep it. You cannot have any of my snow... which is melting anyway, but still.

Otherwise, now that my brain is working again, I should have some website updates and fanworks coming along soonish.

And, just because I can... There was an activity going with the The-DA-Ranger-Group to post photos of your anime collection. I actually gathered most of mine together and took a few photos, but ultimately decided I didn't want to clutter up my DA account with non-art submissions. However, I did take photos, so here is my collection (that's three separate links). Yeah, I think my favorites are pretty obvious ;) And, yes, I do have some posters, wall scrolls, more Inuyasha figures and assorted bric-a-brac, but I decided not to drag all that together.

I've made several icons lately, so I thought I'd post them. Part of them are FMA icons I made for contests on fmadesignawards and some are FMA and AnE icons I made for myself.

I realize now that I've made one oversight: I desperately need an icon of Father Fujimoto! For that matter, I don't have any Hughes icons in my current list. This must be corrected. I might even need to create a combination Hughes and Father Fujimoto icon, seeing as they're two of my favorite anime fathers.

Whew!  It's been a busy night.  Finally got the Christmas tree and a few other last odds and ends taken down.  Yes, yes, I know how late it is, but I had to wait for help with the tree and... I just hate to see it all go.  Ah well.

Tonight's other project - the SWAT Kat Fanfiction Archive is updated once again!  This was a pretty big one with 9 new stories and 3 new chapters for an existing one.  So, happy reading to all!
