So, many of you are wondering why I haven't been updating. There are several reasons.

1) I got into an accident, and broke both my wrists. This makes typing rather difficult.

2) My laptop was stolen, and so I have had to retype the entire chapter from scratch on a computer that I am sharing with four other people who have no appreciation for fanfiction.

3) A very close family friend died, and I have been a complete mess.

4) It is taking me some time to get into the right mind frame to write the next chapter.

I am very sorry to everyone, and I promise that the next chapter will be up as soon as possible.

1. I am legally insane. We just haven't made it legal yet.

2. I will NEVER abandon a fic. It is against everything I believe in, and unless someone dies, there is no reason to abandon a fic. If you start a fic, you finish it. Don't post until you are sure you can finish it!

3. I am always at least two chapters in advance of what is posted, so updates are frequent and constant. There will be no waiting for months for a chapter that's two paragraphs long. I promise!

4. I also post on FF.com, under the same name. Just for future reference. Most of my stories are on both, but a few are not.

5. I am human (shocker). So I am very likely to make mistakes. If you see one, tell me immediately. I will fix it ASAP, and you get your own shout out in the chapter as a thank you.

I would like to intoduce you to my muses:

Obsessive_Goddess is completely insane and is the main source of inspiration for me. All the ideas I post come form her muttering in my head. She is in charge of developing the relationship between Sesshoumaru and Kagome.

Horse Wolves is the one that sets structure to my stories so that they are not gobbeldygook and keeps the story in line with the plot without too many sidetracks. She is the one who makes sure that Sesshoumaru and Kagome don't become completely OOC. Because all three of us hate that.

If you wish to meet them, simply look at the bottom of most of my fics. They will be there waiting.

As previously stated, I don't mind constructive criticism. If there is something that can be done to improve my stories, I want to hear about it so that next time, I can work on it. However, there is a difference between constructive criticism and flaming. I cannot stand it when I've worked so hard on something, until I was satisfied that it was what i wanted, and then someone flames it. It is demeaning, hurtful, rude, and insulting. Worst, it is disrespectful to the person who wrote the story. If you don't like it, stop reading it. Don't leave behind messages that the writer than has to look at over and over again.

Here's some examples:

FLAME:

"You warned against violence so apparently you think it's more disturbing to kill someone then to rape and torture someone. The two females are nothing but annoying. Their arguments are not humorous unless your a twelve year old."

"This is just way too fluffy."

"No offense, but your story started off good, at an A range. Somewhere thogh it veered off to a G range, then veered into some other alphabet. Your story isn't good anymore."

"Inufugesu and Inuhime have to be the dumbest character names I have ever heard."

CONSTRUCTIVE CRITICISM:

"Oh well thiis is a wonderful story, keep up the good work. However, I do think its wrong for the gods to hurt the people of his lands. Putting them together like this is one thing but helping the bad guys is another. It makes them no better"

"Though Sesshoumaru appears slightly OOC to me, but perhaps my interpretation of his character differs from yours."

"Good idea. But isnt Amaterasu the Sun Goddess? And you're not QUITE catching their characters in the story. Work on ICness. Again, great idea. The execution just needs a bit of work."

Anyone have any other questions, message me. But if you flame me, I will send this thing to you along with several insults of my own. :-)
