To Europe!

    Once again I leave my home for a faraway place, but this time we are departing to a world I have yet seen - Europe. I am excited to see the Tower of London, Red Square, and many more places. In the ten days of actual summer vacation I have enjoyed in my own home I've yet to see the sun. That would normally mean good things for fanfiction and deviations but I have been so uninspired to write or Photoshop this last week that I have produced close to nothing. However after lunch I am going to buckle down and pump out at least three chapters and perhaps finish some oneshots for I Choose You…!; Christmas For Naruto Kun!; and some other fanfics that I have not published yet. The reason I have not uploaded these stories is because I have a horrible tendency to start a fic and put it on hiatus for any reason, such as ICY, CFNK, Ranma Ranma Climax!, and some others which I have just abandoned and deleted off the web. Before the end of this year expect another Naruto fanfic and fics of some other smaller series you may not have heard of such as a Vandread / Pilot Candidate crossover and a Gatekeepers fic. Perhaps I'll finally release those request fics that I had finished but had not gone over and edited yet - I think I have a Tsunade x Naruto, a Naruto x Temari, and a Ranma x Ukyou fic due.

    On a side note that's big news for me but little to you (at least until I post) I have felt the urge to release some information regarding the Unknown Person (Unknown Fighter, Unknown Traveler, etc) appearing in fanfics such as I Choose You…! and Ranma Ranma Climax!. His involvement does seem wholly detached from the plot of the story and looking back it was probably unwise to include him as a developing parallel plot. I should have instead placed him in foreshadowing in an epilogue of each story. Then again, RRC could not be changed to fit such a shift. If I have time left after finishing the chapters I'll upload today, I will write a short teaser about the Unknown, Rowan Star and his partner Melanie.

    Hopefully I get everything done today. Visit my MediaMiner.org and Fanfiction.net profile pages for updates. On a side note, I went on a NaruHina dev fav rampage yet again. Here's a link to my dA Favs. Some very good artists to watch… . Nekozumi has great Naruto and Bleach fanart, Artgerm has some fantastic Street Fighter deviations, and dannex009 has some amazing Naruto x Hinata fanart. There are several dev's which make me nosebleed, such as one of Hinata sucking a banana innocently, of Naruto and Hinata making out, and one of a barely clothed… well, you might want to see for yourself. I've got nothing new for deviantART worthy of posting. I purchased a new camera the other day (a Sony Cybershot) and was taking some random pictures with it, and discovered a new technique for highlighting color just by using layers and layer filters - I never needed to click on anything on the actual picture. I love discovering new ways to automatically touch up an image because then I can script and batch edit pictures on the fly. It makes life much easier. But, anyways, none of those shots can really be called art so I won't upload them.

    Enough blogging, I'm starving and I'm burnin' daylight. Gotta get to work…
