Camphor & Kouki

Mushishi x My Neighbor Totoro. A new chapter has been added to Camphor & Kouki. To my (embarrassed) amusement, the LAST time I updated the story was … on my last fanniversary. (Slowest moving storyline EVER.)

Story Summary: Ginko regrets using the Uroana as a shortcut. He’s having trouble pinpointing where he’s come out, and he’s at a loss on how to get back. But in the meantime, perhaps he can do some good. A trail of acorns, a camphor tree, two sisters, a mushishi, and a highly unconven...

News Hound

New Story. New Fandom. I’ve always sort of wanted to write for the Naruto fandom. (Iruka is my all-time favorite ninja. So there.) Early this year, I started messing with News Hound on the side. Just a scene here or there, in between all the other things I was supposed to be doing. (I like having an escape!story for days when I’m feeling rebellious.) Lo, and behold, the thing behaved so well, it’s essentially complete. TWO chapters to give you a running start. New chapters will post every Tuesda...

Mood Stripes 191: Distinctive

Disclaimer: I do hereby disclaim all rights and responsibilities for the characters in this audacious adventure… especially for the expectant one. A nod of recognition is bent towards Rumiko Takahashi for her creative prowess.

Chapter 191: Distinctive

Sesshoumaru could feel Kohaku’s attention. Again.

While he didn’t particularly like the enforced awareness foisted on him by the Shikon-no-Tama, Sesshoumaru was determined to unravel its nuances. Perhaps in understanding it, he could l...

COMPLETE: Affinity

InuYasha x YuYu Hakusho
Kagome & Kurama

COMPLETE. Crossover. He was the last thing Kagome expected to discover in the modern era… a youkai. When Kurama cannot turn his back on the loneliness in her eyes, she’s slowly drawn into his world… and he into hers. A story in bits and pieces. IY/YYH.

New Shop, New Merch

Threadless & TeePublic. Twinkle Press has expanded onto a second site in time for my Fandom Anniversary. You can now compare prices (TeePublic is pretty good about running SALES) before you splurge. To make your life easier, I added a Shops! tab >>

What’s in store? New patterns from my fandom book covers! We have totes, of course.

They are available on masks, too, should you wish to add a subtle nod to fandom to your accessories.

And because someone requested it, we went the e...

Fanniversary

September 22. Today is my fandom anniversary, which I mark (most years) by beginning, ending, and/or variously updating my fanfics. This year is the 14th Anniversary, and I have Planz. Let’s begin with an unveiling.

Forthright Fanfiction. This summer, I took the plunge and ordered up some book covers for my fanfics. They’ll begin appearing over on my fanfiction profiles AND on Goodreads, where you can now “get credit” for reading my stories. Here are the first four:

ALL of my fanfics...

Squee Post

Mikoto and the Reaver Village. If you need a place to react, confer, or kick up a fuss, this is the spot. I’ll enjoy your enthusiasm, I might be willing to clarify small points, but I reserve the right to evade questions that will be answered later in the series. ::twinkle::

Release Day!

Release Day • September 22, 2020

This summer is his last chance to win his first love.
Wardenclave has always been a place of secrets and sway. For most of the year, the remote mountain village is closed off from the rest of the world, but each spring, they issue invitations to the most promising young reavers all over the world. Summer skill camps provide opportunities for the elite to train with the best. And by longstanding tradition, for teens of the In-between to evaluate the compatib...

Release Eve

If you haven’t checked your e-reader in a hot minute, give it a peek. My copy of Mikoto and the Reaver Village arrived almost an hour ago. ::twinkle::

Official Release Day / Fanniversary posts will begin posting once the calendar shows it’s the 22nd in my time zone.

Cross and Crosser

Teaser! I’m running out of days in which to titillate your imaginations, so have another teaser. Remember when I said I was working on a crossover fic in which Argent meets Sesshoumaru? Welp, it’s finished. I’ll post it on Tuesday as part of my Fandom Anniversary festivities, but here’s a tiny foretaste:

Fun Fact: The crest for Argent Mettlebright’s house features frost-edged ginkgo leaves.

Afterthought: If you haven’t reread Lord Mettlebright’s Man recently, I suggest doing so before...
