I know a bunch of you are probably waiting on Damaged Souls and some of you are waiting for me to start posting the Secret Life/Firefly crossover, He's Just A Child.

Don't know how long that's gonna take.

I just can't get my muses to write the fics. They're happily coming up with a million and one new fic ideas, but they won't let me finish these two. *glares at muses*

I'll get the fics (more specifically, Damaged Souls) up as soon as I can. These chapters just don't want to write. Be patient with me!!

And on a completely unrelated note, any of you not hating me enough to tell me where I could get my hands on some Brian/Justin (QAF) animated mood themes?

Not a chapter.

I know. I suck.

I'd written in a comment a few posts back on here that the tentative return date for "Damaged Souls" was September 1...I think you can tell it apparently isn't. I'm sorry!

I suck times two.

Long story short...ish. School is about to start. Life is hectic. One chapter is being held hostage from my beta until I get something from her. Writer's block on the chapter after that which I can't ask my beta for help on.

All that equals out to one very stressed out Crissy.

I know some of you (there are fans still out there, right?) waiting for new chapters, but just wait a while longer! The chapter I'm blocked on is the epilogue and there's only three chapters until the fic is complete. I just want to give you a regular posting schedule. =(

I suck times three?

Okay, so I'd had a ton of tanarian's fics tabbed up on my computer, but lost them when my computer decided to be mean. I'd saved them to my favorites list and just realized that all the entries to tw_flashfic are gone, so now I'm missing a couple. Not sure why it only seems to be on that comm, because the ones on jantolution and torchwoodcoffee work fine.

The ones I'm missing:
- Silver Service
- Winner Take All

If anyone has those saved to their hard drive, I'd love it if you could e-mail them over. I'll provide my e-mail address when the fics have been found.

Thanks in advance!

ETA - Found! And I stupidly didn't realize until this was replied to that I didn't post this on twstoryfinder like I thought I had. *facepalm* Links in comments.

My summer classes are over! *dance* God only knows what my final grades are, but I'm hoping to get them soon.

Onto the topic of my fics which is probably all you guys really care about...

I'm going to be working on "Damaged Souls" (Torchwood/Buffy The Vampire Slayer crossover for those of you that didn't know) and I'm hoping I can get back to posting soon. I've made you guys wait much too long. Since my flashdrive committed suicide and started this whole drama, my typed out plan for the fic had been to be around 20 to 22 chapters. Since then, though, I've looked over what I can remember from my original plan and realized that I'd added a couple chapters that really had no point to them. Looking at it now, it's more of a better bet to say that there will be either two or three chapters left, leaving the total at 18 or 19, one of the chapters being an epilogue.

I'm also going to be working on a new multi-chapter fic that will be about 6 or 7 chapters total in length. It's a crossover between Secret Life Of The American Teenager and Firefly. Weird combo, I know, but trust me on this. It's called "He's Just A Child" and there's a picture to go with the fic that I'll post when I begin posting the chapters.

And lastly, I have some fics that I wrote (some finished, some not) while sitting in my night class. Those will be posted...eventually. There're are a couple Torchwood (Janto and gen), Grey's Anatomy (George/Alex), Secret Life Of The American Teenager (Ricky/Amy), and one that's Torchwood/Secret Life Of The American Teenager (either gen or having a hint of Ricky/Amy and Janto). There may have been a couple others that I can't remember just yet.

So I'll have a lot of typing to do.

Really...I'm not even sure if anyone even reads this, but I'm posting it anyway. If any of you are readers from "Damaged Souls", I'd love to know that you're still sticking around through my long as hell hiatus.

If there is one person or more on your friends list who makes your world a better place just because they exist and who you would not have met (in real life or not) without the internet, then post this same sentence in your journal.

So my summer classes started today; Literature: The Novel (online), American Lit 1 (online), and Physical Science 1 (in class). It's past 1 in the morning (so I guess my classes started yesterday) and I'm only just starting to get around to reading today (yesterday's) batch of fic updates on LJ. I haven't even tackled FFN yet.

I hate to say it as much as you guys (especially all of you that are waiting on Damaged Souls), but if my assignments keep going the way they seem to be going, then I'm going to be completely bogged down. I may disappear somewhat, but I'm going to try and not disappear completely. I'll work with what free time I can manage, but it's looking like these next two months are going to be made of suckage.

I'm not abandoning you guys and I'm not abandoning my fics (especially Damaged Souls). Reading and writing these fics keep me sane. I just think I'm going to have to step back a bit.

Don't give up on me!

This is the last time I listen to my sister about school. "Online courses are easier," she says, "especially in summer."

Yeah. Not with the teachers I got.

X.x

I'm home!! Dammit. Of course the weather got completely gorgeous on the day we went home, but that's my luck, right?

*sigh*

To Do List:
-Unpack
-Eat
-Go through 7 days of updates (kill me now)

Yup, it's June again and like last year, I'm going on my week long vacation with my family. Have my laptop this year, but I don't know if the house we're renting has wifi connection (since reading/writing slash fics in the middle of the living room may not be the best idea), so I'm not sure if I'll be able to get on again before I come home next Saturday.

Promise you guys that while I'm gone, I will work on "Damaged Souls". The muse has been incredibly stubborn when it comes to rewriting Chapter 17 and I'm running into some issues. Don't worry, though. I'm bringing my laptop instead of a book this year, so even if I don't have wifi, when my friend and I retreat from beaches and sunburns to the nice central air of the house, she can read while I write. Don't know how much I'll get done, but it's better than nothing, right?

What I'll also be working on is a new fic. I've decided that to keep a rhythm going, I'll be writing a chapter of "Damaged Souls" followed by a chapter of my new (and still unposted) Firefly/Secret Life Of The American Teenager crossover, "He's Just A Child".

For those of you reading "Damaged Souls", don't worry. Alternating fics will actually keep me writing faster and then I can write a few more chapters before I resume posting so that you have a regular posting schedule.

I think that's all for now.

Talk to you guys in a week!!!

To all of you that have been reading my Torchwood/Buffy The Vampire Slayer crossover "Damaged Souls", I'm letting you know that as of right now, there's going to be a hiatus.

My flashdrive chose today of all days to fail and in that I've lost all my school notes and essays from the last year and every fanfic I've been working on. I had been working on Chapter 17 at the time and had made a couple edits to Chapter 16 after sending it to my beta, so I've lost those edits as well.

I am so sorry to all of you who were looking forward to a new chapter, but I'm without options as of now. The edits I had made to Chapter 16 made pieces make more sense and I made the edits a week ago, so I can't remember just what they were and I don't think it's up to the standard you guys are used to without the edits.

Please bear with me, you guys. We're doing everything we can to try and recover this information. We've asked at Staples, where I bought the flashdrive, and the most they could tell us was that it was so corrupted that it was actually reading that the flashdrive was empty and that they could send it to a place in California to get the data strip out, but it would cost us a thousand dollars.

I hate that this happened on a Thursdays of all days because I had wanted to give you guys this chapter, but things just apparently aren't working for me right now.

I will finish this fic, I promise you guys that. But being almost 3,000 words into Chapter 17, I am not looking forward to rewriting it if there's any chance that I can get it back as is.

Again, I am so sorry.

I'll keep you posted.

For any of you who are keeping track of my Torchwood/Buffy The Vampire Slayer crossover series, Moving On And Coming Back, I am working on the third installment with the ever-present hounding of my lovely beta/muse Kyra.

I'll begin posting the chapters on Christmas and then follow with one chapter every Thursday until the end.

For anyone that is just now hearing of the series, the fics and info can be found here:

I GRADUATED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! *dances* No more high school for Cristinaaaaa!!!!!

^.^

Today's the skating show at my high school and I'm kind of freaking out. I've had like barely any time to prepare my solo and I've only practiced it on the ice once. Shoot me please. Our group number is to Thriller and I learned the steps like two days ago, so those still consfuse me and...AH!!! This is my last figure skating show since I'm a senior and I want it to be good, but I'm freaking out. And I'm third in line to do my solo!! More stress I don't need!

Group Number: Thriller -- Michael Jackson
Solo: Soaring -- Sydney Forest

It starts at 6:30, so lucky me, I get to freak until I get to the rink at 3:30 to finish the group number. Kill me now pleaase.

Wish me luck!
