ADMIN: Clarifying earlier post

In light of some misconceptions that I have been made aware of, I need to clarify something about my previous ADMIN post. I made an edit to that post, but am concerned that the people I've Friended won't see the edit due to new chapters posted yesterday pushing it down the list.

The reason I went Friends Only here has nothing to do with reviews, and Friending this journal is NOT a contract saying you're forced to review, please do not think that! The reason I shut the journal off from the public is this:

http://dejana.livejournal.com/152580.html

I took down everything I had on ff.net two days ago when I found out about this. I had over 500 reviews on Changechildren there, so that should indicate how serious I am about this and also let you know that while I enjoy reviews, they are not as important as protecting my personal life.

Speaking of Changechildren, there's something else I need to say.

I feel badly that there are many of you monitoring this journal waiting for that particular story when nothing has been forthcoming for a long time. It has always been stated in my userinfo that I never promise to finish anything and this may be an example of that. I have no idea when or even if there will be another chapter. I really HOPE to continue it, because I still love Prince of Tennis, but other fandoms are tugging at my inspiration right now, so I feel I should let you off the hook.

I will always update the userinfo with notations of the newest works as soon as they're posted, so if you don't want to keep the journal Friended while you're waiting (thus cluttering your F-list with unwanted stories), that's fine, I'll keep you Friended myself and then if you see the userinfo is updated to include Changechildren, you can Friend me again and read the chapter.

I'm sorry for all the confusion and hope this helps to clarify.

Ah, I see. That drama is really ewww. ^^ Hee, that's all right, I'll wait and read when you do update, friended you now xD. Though generally I don't comment unless I have something intelligent to say I always read your updates. SQUEEE! just doesn't count (Besides an author has told me that my squealing is irritating as hell and sometimes sound a bit demanding which I really didn't intend for it to be taken that way).

They really said that? I can't imagine any positive response from a reader being thought of that way. :( You can squee to your heart's content if you want -- Lord knows my wife and I do it all the time ourselves. XD

About Change Children

Well...I kinda understand what you mean by a lot of other fandoms an' stuff, I can't seem to finish my fanfics either, it's really hard and I completely understand where you're coming from, but I can still check now and then to see if you've updated, I wish you luck in your writing <3

Re: About Change Children

I was writing Changechildren for over two years, and I still love the concept, which is why I incorporated it into my RPG and the Changechildren appear in Sprefvent. I'm thinking about bringing them into my new Sakura Court story, too (only as families, you know -- Seigaku as one family, Hyotei as another, etc.) I'm still debating on that. :)

And I do hope to continue the actual Changechildren fic -- I just don't want to make promises I may not be able to keep.

Friended

Hi! I began reading your story Changechildren a little while ago on www.mediaminer.org and came here to read more of your stories. I'm not sure if you're planning to take down your stories there as well like you did on ff.net, but they're still posted there. I hope that you don't mind that I friended your account.

Oh boy! You scared me for a second! I had to go run an make sure I was still your friend! You should have seen me! My roommate thought I was nuts until I explained WHY you're one of my favorite authors. Anyway, you get full support for this choice of actions from my side and if you squint and look at it up side down the future holds more reviews! Lots of muses as always!

I read your story Changechildren a while back on fanfiction.net and your Princess Princess D stories on livejournal. I wholeheartedly enjoyed them and want to read more!

Wow...I can understand why you took it off of FF.net now. o______o That's...pretty disturbing. D: Just know I totally support your decisions regarding this IJ.

Also, I friended you. :D I'd been meaning to do it forever, so this sort of kicked my butt into gear. xD

- I understand your decision because even I probably do the same thing to protect my personal life.

- I adore Changechildren ever since I first read this story and I still do. I hope to read more although I have to wait. Hope you would add me~

At long last...

I've been looking for your entries in ff.net and was unsuccessful, i thought i forgot your username and all. I was a bit disappointed that i wasn't able to locate you that time. so i tried searching your works at search engines, and luckily or rather FORTUNATELY, i found this, so created an account here right away so that i can continue reading your works. I hope you don't mind accepting my invitation just for the chance to read your wrtings again. thanks.

Found you!

I read Changechildren before in Fanfiction, but I was still such a noob that time that I'm ashamed to admit that I hadn't really bothered commenting on it.. You should go and get Sanada on me and bitch slap me anytime 'cause of that! (T.T) I'm sorry. And also for that disturbing issue you just went through and all..

May I please be your friend? I really want to see what happens if ever you continue the story (which I really hope you do)..

Playing Catchup

I haven't visited my own LJ in so long that I needed to go through to check everything over. I was receiving updates whenever you posted a new chapter, but then realized I hadn't seen one in forever. It's about time I got and account over here so that I could follow the wave from the whole Livejournal debacle. Could you friend me please? I was in the middle of a few of your stories, Changechildren being the most prominent of course. But I do remember the turmoil you had about continuing it at all.

Finally found you!

I read your ficcie Changechildren on FF.net before, and gave you some reviews back then too. Ive been looking for you again and boy am I glad I finally found you.

Can I be your friend please? I loved reading Changechildren and I still do. Its Prince of Tennis after all. I seriously wana see you continue that story (and I hope you do) and find out what happens, especially to Fuji (before you made your IJ Friends only).

Hi. I only just heard about you and your stories and I was trying to find you so I could read them, only to find the journal friends-locked.

Although, reading over why you f-locked it, I can totally understand and sympathize; it's creepy and wrong. >___<

Either way, I friended you, hoping you'll friend back so I can read your stories. I've read so many comments about how Changechildren is really good and I'd like to read it, please. I even made an IJ just for you. =)
