I've finally created a new fanfiction.net account, and have as of a few minutes ago, uploaded the first chapter of Broken Boundaries :D

http://www.fanfiction.net/u/2122309/

There be the link! I'll update the website link in my profile to direct any visitors to the site :D Feel free to friend me on FF.net, and to spread the word so I get me some exposure! :D

I have done it for another year! Now, can I pull it off next year? Well, we'll see :D But for now, I can bask in the glory of winning *grins* Yay!

This subplot I've come up with has really helped up the wordcount *grins* I just have to be careful not to let it overshadow the main bulk of the story. But I figured it was fair to delve a little into the mind of the main protagonist to see just how murky his mind is XD (Like father, like son, right?)

... doesn't mean I'm giving up! I've now set myself a goal of 100,000, so it's going to be interesting to see how much I can get done at the end of the month! :D



Of course, I have to wait till the 25th to make the 50k official, but at least I did it! And I have added so many twists that it's not funny *grins* And I'm only on chapter 18! (By the by, Matt, I might be needing that duel within the next week or so ^_^; Of course, there's no rush, but I thought I might let you know so you don't get caught out!)

And now I can relax! Well, a little bit. But at least I've done the 50k! Can I pull it off again next year? Well, we'll see XD

Oh yeah, I've got this one in the bag XD I dare say I'll have it whipped by the middle of next week or so XD Then I can slow down and start working on other projects :D

But I still manage to make up for it *grins*

Oooh, we're getting close, I can taste it!

Bahaha! I am flying along here!

Btw, Loki, I hope your plot bunnies are enjoying those laxatives *grins* They're going to be busy for a little while, methinks~!

I stalled a little bit on chapter eleven, but I did manage to get chapter 10 finished yesterday (in 34 degree heat, no less!) Hopefully today I can crack the 30k and be on my way towards finishing!

I am flying along here *grins* And while I doubt I'll be able to do my 50 in 8 days feat I did in '06, I am well on the way to pulling this off without a hitch :D

And yes, I know, I said I wouldn't be changing my layout again so soon, but this one is so pretty! I will definitely be sticking with this one for a while :D

Now we're getting somewhere *grins* And yes, I changed the layout again in only a matter of a week or so ^_^; I swear I'll stick with this one for a bit longer!

Eh, hit a slight snag as to how to introduce the next part of the plot, but at least I'm chugging along nicely! Let's hope tomorrow's a better day ^_^;;

Not a bad effort for stalling somewhat over the last two days. But I should pick up tomorrow as I slowly start moving into the main meat of the plot *grins* It's going to be a fun one!




And now bed!

Since the Zouktoku word meter isn't working any more, I'm using this handy little progress meter, which I think is going to be a handy little guide. Not bad for someone who started writing at, like, half past 3 in the afternoon! XD


And here be my dragons as well ^_~

***

Can I pull off the same feat I pulled off in '06? *glances at the meter* I'll get back to you on that after day 3 or so XD; Don't want to count my chickens too early!

Edit: Forgot the "img src" tag @_@ It should be showing up now, right?

I've gone and done it ^_^; My username's Pikapi Pikachu on the site. Feel free to add!

Yes, you may deem me a nut now XD;;;;

*throws dragons to stop you all throwing rotten tomatoes at me*

The sequel to Broken Boundaries has been officially named, and the outline is now written out and ready for me to get started. So say hello to Shattered Crystal, the sequel to BB, which, as the name implies, will be set in Crystal Tokyo. It's going to be another Yuugiou x Sailor Moon crossover, of course, but I think the senshi will have more of a role, while the Yuugiou cast take more of a backseat. But there is going to be a duel, so that should be fun (and I might need to call on you to help me out for that one, mattbcl!)

Now, to decide if I'm going to make this my NaNo '09 attempt. I have an outline, and I have the drive back, so should I sign up for it? I'm tempted to, believe me!

****

And have some dragons too ♥

As of a few moments ago, Broken Boundaries was wrapped up, at the grand total of 42 chapters *grins* Now I have to plot out the sequel, and decide if I'm going to try NaNoWriMo this year!

*does a happy dance*

Oh yeah, and I finally have to start posting this, don't I? Well, I don't want to overwhelm you guys, so I'll post one chapter (or maybe even two, I'll let you guys decide) a day :D

And have some dragons to celebrate~

****

Broken Boundaries has now passed the 40 chapter mark *grins* I started chapter 41 tonight ♥

You SCUM! *throws something and curses up a storm*

I am pissed OFF!

Broken Boundaries will definitely hit 40 chapters *grins* I finished chapter 37 last night, so I'll see how many chapters I get done today!

*****

Broken Boundaries as of a couple of nights ago, officially surpassed High School Love (my first published fanfic) as the longest fic I've written to date. BB now stands at 36 chapters, and I'm about to start writing the 37th chapter probably tonight, if not definitely tomorrow :D I can definitely see it getting out to at least 40 chapters, if not more.

Methinks I should start posting it on here, am I right? ♥

Have a relatively new batch of dragons to celebrate :D

Btw, you know how you use the handy little "a href" code to change intelligible links into something more readable? How do you do that for LJ names? 'Cause I've seen it used on the flist a few times, and I have to admit, I am curious!

Edit: Sorry, I don't think I quite framed my question right. What I meant to ask was, say I wanted to put someone's real name in place of their LJ name, and still have it link to their journal, how do I go about doing that?
