To Salute:

Hello, my fellow narutards!

Yes, I have published another one-shot. I really enjoyed writing Plumeria. The setting was a vivid picture in my head; I was very fortunate to see my backdrop so clearly. I just hope that I kept a balance between the action and the setting (no one wants to get bored with the details!). I have to admit, the boys are stubborn. Sasuke and I couldn't agree on the kissing bit and it almost pained me to write it, but that was the focal point of the story- it had to be written! Little asshole couldn't appreciate the fact that I atleast kept his pants on.

For those of you wondering over the fate of The Difference Between Black and Blue, let me make it clear that there is a chapter in the works. After that, I have no idea if I want to continue the story. Really, it turned into a confused mess. I am not very satisfied with it at all. But...you might see an AU pop up in the near future. I am actually looking foreward to that project much more than this- the story will make more sense and the characters will stay IN CHARACTER and not turn OOC in the least. Here's hoping, anyway.

By the by, thanks for the reviews. I know I never put author's notes in my stories to say thanks. I always thought that sort of thing was horribly tacky, which is why I have a journal for fanfiction. There are one or two of you that reviews to all of my stories, and I appreciate the feedback whole-heartedly.

From an author that tries,
Salute

...I am such a lying fucker~ I could blame my absense through many woeful tradgedies and my need to be there for each and every one of them, but that just sounds like an author asking for undeserved pity, doesn't it? So to get straight to the point, my new story has it's interlude up and ready for reading.

Yes, it is a bit short. That would be because I have a nice chapter to write with some incredibly fun dialogue between two very funny characters. And, eventually, we will see developement between Sasuke and Naruto. Next chapter, which won't be such a bitch to write.

The Discolored Interlude

Hullo Hullo, I do believe it is time for an update!

Now, see, I'll be in Canada for a week and I've got this interlude to write for The Difference between Black and Blue. It is coming soon, I promise, and this chapter will be describing the world that they are in, because there are two very key points in canon that are missing from my world and it is CRUCIAL that my readers know these points. Its just a bitch to write, though. So, expect the update sometime perhaps within the week.

Those of you waiting for the epilogue, I am actually working on it. Do not give up hope!

With a charming wink and a devilish smile, dutifully yours, Salute.

I promised you guys a chapter, and oh hey! there it is.

And jesus...Sugahlei reviewed my story. I didn't even notice till I scanned through my reviews. Holy shit!!! My favorite author reviewed me and liked my story! *Primming and pleased*

Still kind of working on the epilogue...sort of.

Hey guys~ I can't get arsed to finish the epilogue for one story, but I have finally gotten around to working on the next chapter of DBB! So I've got a rough draft that just needs more tuning, but otherwise you can be expecting it kinda soon.

Also, I've been working on a small Sasunaru Doujin, so you can be expecting that as well.

*is working diligently!* ... *he swears...* ... *really.*

Hey guys~

Sorry about the lack of updating. Ya'll know what its like when a convention is going on. Definently went to Akon 17 this year and had myself a blast~ I tried to dress as a cat person and it sort of worked. I bought Naruto plushies, of course, and a few pins. Life is very nice.

Hey guys~ DBB will be updated again in roughly a week. The rough draft is bothering me because I am having trouble winding the plot towards a stable conclusion, but the main body has a few paragraphs ready.

The epilogue for OMSG is giving me hell. I'll have that up sometime soon, but I can't promise the deadline to fall within this week. I've got a one shot that is fluttering around in my head that I might tackle to kill the Writer's Block, but who knows.

Again. If anyone wants to make this author a kickass Starbucks layout, I sure wouldn't mind.

So I suddenly have a fanclub. Maybe I can ask for sexual favors if I am lucky...

Seeing as how I only use this journal to post fiction and peruse GLBT communities, I've decided to keep those lovely ladies and gents up to date on my fiction.

The Difference between Black and Blue will be updated fairly soon. Atleast in a few days, because I am finally taking a break and will have much time to dedicate to my writing.

This also means that the epilogue for Our Many Shades of Gold will be posted soon as well, but not before the next chapter of DBB.

By the by, if you guys love me, you will make me a kick-ass layout. With coffee as the theme. Starbucks. My profile drabble at ff.net amuses me greatly, because people now understand that I am a narsictic jack-ass. Bow before my awesome shaggy black hair.

For those of you that have an unhealthy obsession with Sasuke, my hair looks like his if you squint. Except mine is sexier.

Lookin' through my journals and I thought, "Fuck, man, when was the last time I wrote in that journal?" So here I am again. Writing a short story that I am going to try and send to as many publishers as I can, so that they'll have my words spilling out of their ears by the end of it. I also thought about sending in some of my shit poetry, but I think it might be too late by now to send any of it in. If it is, well...*shrugs* there isn't much that I can do about that. I'll just think about sending stuff in next year, probably.

And because I've had this song on repeat for the past few minutes...

So divine, hell of an elevator
All the while my fortune faded
Nevermind the consequences of the crime this time
My fortune faded

*plays the guitar riff* I'm out.
