( Notes )

I know I haven't updated in months, but I actually have a good reason for it. Right now, I work a 9-6 job with mandatory overtime, plus I have a 2-3 hour commute to and from work. So, Monday through Friday, I basically have about an hour free time, and on the weekends I'm pretty much too tired/stressed from the work week to do much else but try to unwind. I've tried writing a couple months ago, but I have no real writing privacy right now because I'm living with my family, helping to pay the bills until my mom gets a steady income, and I can't write with my mom or my brothers looking over my shoulder, trying to read my stuff (and I really don't feel like explaining "I'm writing gay love stories" to my mother.)

So, what does this mean? No, I have not forgotten about this series. Yes, I want to finish it and give you loyal readers a good conclusion. But no, it's not going to be done anytime soon. It's a frustrating situation and it royally sucks, but it's my life. I started this project while I was in school and had more free time, and now with my long hours and the commute, paired with no real space to write, I just can't muster the last four chapters right now. I do apologize, and I hope that when I get these next parts up (hopefully before the end of the year), y'all will still be around to read them.

Thanks for everything, and I hope to be able to deliver soon. :)

UPDATE EDIT: I finally moved into my new place about a month ago. However, my computer's motherboard busted in the move, and there is nowhere around here that I can use to type for any length of time. (Right now I'm sneaking a post at work.) I've tried to write the next chapters by hand, but after 2-3 pages of the next chapter my wrist hurt so bad I could barely move it. I think it's because I'm on a computer at work for much of the day (I do phone tech support), and I need to make a doctor's appointment for it when I have the money. Maybe get those gel wrist supports for my workstation, too. But anyhoo, I know it may sound like excuses to some (it sounds like it to me, and I'm the one living the situation!), but beleive me, I want to write, I've tried to write, but circumstances have proven that I'm not going to be able to post anything until I get a new computer and internet at home, as well as get my wrist looked at. I really am sorry, and I feel horrible that I not only can't fulfill my obligation, but that I can't even get these stories in my head out on paper without something getting in the way!

Hopefully, things will be better soon. I couldn've already bought a new computer and arranged a doctor's appointment if my mom hadn't quit her job again and needed my financial support. As it is, I probably won't be able to get a new system until Feburary. I make enough to get it in one paycheck, but like I said, Mom needs my help right now to keep her and my brothers on their feet.

I'll make an announcement over in the YA community when I'm finally back on my feet and the rest of the story is available. Again, I'm very sorry for the delay.

Notes: Hey, look, an update! It's been, what, three weeks or so since the last one? Well, there's a reason for that, but we'll save that for later. For now, though, I hope you enjoy the story.

And thanks again to latimer84 for being a great beta. Seriously, he should get an award. :)

Rating: PG for language
Notes: Sorry this is late, but there were several real-life issues that both I and my beta had to take care of over the past few weeks. I'm not sure about him, but I still have some school stuff to take care of, so the next chapter may not be up for several weeks. But thanks for sticking with me, and mucho thanks to latimer84 for taking the time to beta.

( Chapter 8 )

To make up for Chapter 8 being oh-so-tardy, here's some pictures for you. They're kinda for fun, but also contain a spoiler for the next chapter, so you've been warned.

( Cut to spare your F-List )

I feel like I'm acting like I'm all badass and stuff, so I'm sorry if it seems that way. I just wanted to give y'all a deeper look into myself as writer and a fanboy. :)

Mucho thanks for clex_monkie89 for being so fraggin' cool and hosting these pics for me!

Headache.

Headache headache headache.

Ow.

Fic's gonna be late. Was kinda sick last weekend and have been stressing out over my upcoming certification exam. It's about 75% written, but I have no idea how I'm gonna end it. I hope it comes to me when I get there.

I have the urge to just open the top of my head and let all my stories spill out onto the paper so i don't have to write them. Between writing notes in class and working on a computer most of the day, my wrist isn't always up to the task of fic.

Don't mind me. This is a sinus headache-induced babble. Just wanted to say at least something, because I know some of you wait on pins and needles for the next chapters to come out. Bwahaha, no, that's not true. It it was fun to pretend for a moment. :p

In consolation, here's a random drabble I'm writing as I go:

( Cut to spare your F-List )

There ya go. Spontaneous and barely edited. Enjoy.

I'm gonna go off and try to get some medicine now. Tootles.

Notes: FINALLY!!! IT'S UP!!! Again, I'm sorry that it took so long, and hopefully I'll maintain a much better pace this time. Mucho kudos goes to latimer84 for doing most excellent beta for me. *glomps*

( Chapter 7 )

I just wanted to let y'all know about my new fanfic journal, narutonojitsu. I know it has a Naruto name, but it's intended to be for any non-YA fic that I write. In case you're curious, I did this because I plan on writing more YA fic than not, and this'll help me organize my stuff a lot better. Plus, since it's one of those Sponsored+ accounts, I can have one or two userpics dedicated to the fandom that I write about, also for organization purposes. I hope that if you like my writings here you'll give it a try.

And sorry, still no Part 7. I'm still waiting on my beta. If I don't hear back from him this afternoon, I'll probably send him an email. I wanted to ahve it up by today, so we'll see how that goes. If worse comes to worse, though, I'll have it up by tomorrow, beta'd or not. As much as I appreciate the help I get, I really don't like making people wait. =/

Okay, after, what, a month of nothing, I'm finally back! Hopefully some of y'all are still around, too.

First of all, I've friended back anyone who's friended me lately. Sorry for the delay, folks.

Second, CHAPTER 7 IS IN BETA!!! Yeah, I bet you were wondering when I'd get off my lazy butt and actually write again. Well, now I have. I've adjusted to my new school well enough that I've gotten my mojo back, as it were. Chapter 8 is currently just a bunch of notes in my writing notebook, but I should have the rough draft at least started by the time Chapter 7 comes up.

To those of you who stuck around, thanks. This year is supposed to be a big year of change for me; hopefully I'll be able to keep this consistant and keep all of you entertained. :)

Okay, this is probably unnecissary, but I just wanted to provide another update, because I've been gone longer than I said I would. I've been going through some things in my life over the past few weeks, most notibly studying for a very important test. Fortunately, I passed it (details are over in kygn), so that's one big stressball off my back for now. Also, my interest in Young Avengers has been hibernating until the next issue comes out, and I keep telling myself that when it does, then I'll have enough new stuff on these characters and enough inspiration to write the final half of the story. And while that's probably true, there's still not too much of an excuse for me to not at least attemt Chapter 7. So, just to let y'all know, I definitely haven't forgotten about this story, and I will be making a concious effort to get at least the next part up soon.

Also, if any of you are over at y!gallery, my handle there is soulreaver1983. I've been writing a little bit of semioriginal fic over there as warm-up for "When Billy Met Teddy", and if you like the angsty stuff I got going on here, be sure to check it out. (You'll be surprised just how similar it is, actually, but that was a little on accident, a little on purpose. Like I said, it's a warm-up) The site itself isn't fully worksafe, however, so if you go to it, please do so responsibly.

Okay, I don't like to put a break in my stories like this, but I guess it's appropriate.

Currently, we are halfway through the series "When Billy Met Teddy". I had intended to start the second half by now, but my brain is fried. Plus, I just got a new roommate, so the dynamics of my dorm life have just changed, and I need to get back into a rhythm that supports my writing. So, I'm going to take a break. Albeit a small one, but a break nonetheless. This will be really good for me, too, because the second half of the story is going the be a big challenge for me.

I just wanted to let y'all know so you're not wondering where the next part is. This feels really vain of me to be saying stuff like this, but several of you have shown so much support for my work and such interest that I feel it's respectful and responsible to notify you. I still fully intend on having this series completed before the end of March. Actually, it might go even quicker than that depending on my motivation and my mood. But for now...I hope to be able to provide Chapter 7 at some point late next week. We'll just see how that goes, I guess.

Thanks for being patient, and thanks for reading! I appreciate all of you! :)

Notes: Woah! Three in a row? I must be crazy! But I couldn't leave y'all hanging like that, so I went ahead and wrote the next part. More angst, but we're halfway through the story, so stick with me! :)

Oh, and beta this time was provided by the excellent dread_not.

Okay, on to the fic!

Notes:Clex was busy with schoolwork, and I like to get these things up ASAP, so I beta'd myself, which I'm glad I did. I was able to fix some things that made the story flow a lot better. So, anyhoo, here's the next part. I hope you like it. :)

Title: When Billy Met Teddy - Chapter 4
Status: Complete
Pairing: Billy/Teddy
Rating: PG for language
Notes: My lovely beta clex_monkie89 was able to help me again, so thanks to her. Also, I aplogize to anyone who feels the story is going too slow. I like to keep regular updates, so I'm posting each piece of the tale as it's ready. So, instead of one long story, this will end up being about 10-12 chapters. This part was actually supposed to be longer, but I saw that it was pushing three pages and I didn't know how long I could make it without LJ cracking out on me. Clex let me know the limit, though, so the next fic may be longer.

Anyhoo, enough babblng. Enjoy! :)

Notes: I'm impatient and said that this would be up by yesterday, so here's the un-beta'd version of the next chapter. I'll make the neccisary changes once my beta's school workload goes down a bit and she has a chance to read this.

Notes: What? Two chapters in a day? Well, I'm gonna be gone this weekend, so I figured I'd give a little extra this time. I hope y'all like it. The third chapter will be up sometime next week.

Again, thanks to clex_monkie89. Without her I'd be poo.

Oh, and just about everything written is intentional. (AKA, there's a reason Teddy goes by "Ted" in this.) It's part of the plot. :)

Notes: I'm probably a weirdo for trying a series as my first real foray into fanfiction, but whatever. This is the story that popped into my head, and dangit, I'm gonna write it!

Mucho thanks to clex_monkie89 for being my beta and brainstorm wench. This is partially her fault. And bebopbeats as well. I *heart* them both. :)

( It begins... )

Also, lots of thanks to everyone who responded to the last post! it was awesomely encouraging! :)

Okay, here's my first fanfic in a LONG time. It's really short, but if bebopbeats can do it, dangit, so can I! besides, I just wanted to type something really quick before PE to get the creative juices flowing.

So, without further babbling, I present to you a fic simply titled: Ice Cream.

( Ice Cream )

Hey all, this is my fanfic journal. It's gonna be mostly Young Avengers Billy/Teddy stuff (hence the name).

I'll probably add more to this post if needed. Or if I'm poked enough for more info.

EDIT: After a certain bout with the drama llama at my old journal, I've cut ties with it. I have a new "normal" LJ now, and I try to keep it guarded. Sorry. =/

Also, a note: I try really hard to keep this up-to-date, but I have school and other real-life issues to focus on, and a lot of times i really don't feel like writing. So, things may be later than intended, and please forgive me for it. I really do care about providing a decent source of entertainment here, and I hope I continue to please. :)
