It's painful. It's obvious. It's-- dare I say-- painfully obvious at this point:

These websites are all defunct.

When you don't update in over a year-- over two years, in some cases, maybe more-- it's usually a pretty good sign that you've moved on to other things. Not that I'm moving away from anime or Jrock, because I'm not. But the whole building a site and maintaining it thing? Yeah, totally over that. At least for now. My naturally lazy tendencies and the utter lack of feedback a website provides have teamed up to basically kill my enthusiasm, as anyone who still peruses these awful sites can probably tell. I didn't know what I was doing when I made them, and the directories are more interwoven than a plate of spaghetti. And also, the fics here are so old I'm actually embarrassed to put anything newer up next to them, for fear that the sucktasticness will rub off or something.

Anyway. I'm not deleting the sites, but I am no longer going to be pretending that I'll update them someday. I try not to lie to you, after all.

Anyone who still gives a rat's diseased rear-end about my writing would be better served following my LiveJournals, both of which get updated at least once a week. Take your pick of the personal journal over at thewriter0 (full of life-babble, innumerable quizzes, and stunted attempts at art as well as writing) or the purely writing journal at gunmetal_song (better indexed, but more limited in scope and less frequently updated). All pertinent contact info (email, AIM, etc) can be found in my userinfo on one of the journals.

Thanks to everyone who read this drivel in the past; if you're coming across it new, can I just say in my defense that I'm much, much better at the whole writing thing now?

Stay cool, kids.

Blood and Candy The original site. I think it has a total of one fic on it, and it's for the anime "NightWalker", which no one actually cares about. At least I can say I was one of the very few ficcers who ever wrote for it?

PsyenceFiction The JRock fic site. Much more prolific than the anime section. I still write JRock fic, but the stuff I write now tends to be less... stupid. Still, some of the fics here are at least insipidly amusing.

Electric Disguise My "shrine" to Hideto Matsumoto, deceased rockstar extraordinaire. If any of these sites ever gets updated again, it'll be this one, but don't hold your breath or you'll be meeting hide sooner than you'd planned.

JRock Remix It was a good idea badly executed. Meant to follow in the precocious parody footsteps of sites like the Jrock Flannel, I never actually got around to doing much with it. It's a pity, but by the time I made this site I was already at least a year behind updating the first one. Thus, there isn't much here.
