   Hey, peeps. As the title suggests, I am heavily considering leaving, mainly because only my "Spirited Away" deviations get some form of recognition. To me, this is severely irritating, as I have many other stories out there; but I think the main reason might be that my interests have changed over the 3-4 years I've been on DA. I'm no longer an anime person and have moved on to writing my own original work as of late instead of fan fiction. 
   However, this doesn't mean that I am shutting my page down. I am thinking of removing my stories and posting them on FanFiction.net in 2015. My pictures and artwork will remain, mainly because of the prize art/stories I've done over the years. I will finish up any remaining prize art/stories I need to complete before leaving, just so I can get that out of the way. 
   So, if I do decide to leave, then I'll send out a farewell journal post and post the prizes I owe as my final deviations before going on the indefinite hiatus. Thanks for all the faves, comments, all the laughs, and the good memories. It's really because of you guys that my writing and artistic skills have improved. So, from the bottom of my heart, thank you so much.

Since the Blu-Ray of The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug Extended Edition comes out on November 4, I figured it was time to celebrate the release. To help celebrate the Extended Edition's release, I am going to be posting my fan fiction novel Smaug here on DA for Hobbit fans to read. I will be posting one chapter of the story starting on November 4 every day until around Thanksgiving, since there are 22 chapters and an epilogue. Hopefully, fans of Tolkien will like it, as well as fans of the Hobbit films, mainly because I did as much research as possible to create a plausible back-story for Smaug. This is a project that took me about 7 to 9 months to complete and am happy enough with the final product to share it with all of you.

   So, I've chosen to clean up my DA page and delete some stories I never completed and may never complete. The reason for this is because I want to focus on my own original works and not fan fictions at the moment. I've got 8 novel ideas and a few short story ideas that I want to put at the center of my attention, some of which I will be posting here and not on my FictionPress due to using real historical figures. 
   I hope you all had a good summer and good luck with school this year!

   Hello. It's been over a year since I last updated. This is because I've been busy with college, but now I'm working part-time at my college to save up for my last semester. Since I'm working two days out of the week, I'll have time to post a new fan fiction and one last piece of prize art that I've been meaning to finish. 
   The fan fiction is the first one I've started in a long time and it's a sequel to the critically acclaimed Don Bluth film "The Secret of NIMH". It'll be based on the second book of the Rats of NIMH series, "Racso and the Rats of NIMH, and I'm going to possibly post sketches of the characters that are unfamiliar to give you an insight as to what they might look like. So, starting this week, I'll be trying to post one chapter of this story sometime during the weekend. The only exception is that I'm posting chapter one today. If you like it, great. If not, it's fine.

Hello, everyone! It's summertime for me and I'm deciding what projects to do before I go back to college in the fall. First of all, I'm going to write the remaining prize fiction for contest winners. I'll also post prize art from over a year ago for different contests (sorry, guys! College has been brutal). After that, I'll finish up SPN S4 and then take a break from SPN (After this, I'll have to do seasons 5-9). The last project I'm planning on doing is a Sherlock fan fic based on the story "A Case of Identity". Usually, when I get into something I start writing a fan fic within 5 minutes. But I'm taking my time and researching to make this story as good as I can. Wish me luck on all of this!
