UPDATES - most recent
 Look out for the gold stars around the site... they show recently updated items.

July 2008 I took part in the LiveLongNMarry auction on Live Journal recently, supporting the campaign for marriage for all, including same sex. The gift I offered was to write a short Gundam Wing fanfic, and it was won by ravensilver. Keep an eye out for the story, though my deadline isn't until October! But she's requested something with drama and angst and yet romance, all in a Preventers setting. *gulp*. I'll do my best!
In the meantime, I posted a short fic 'dedicated' to the other bidders on my gift, who didn't win eventually, called On My List. Inspired by yet another routine visit of mine to the supermarket! See it here.
June 2008 I've been quiet, I know! I've been working on my original fiction, leaving me less time for reading Gundam Wing, and none at all for *writing* it! But maybe one day again...
The important message today is about Sparks Fly - if you enjoy this novella, or might like to read it in the future, you need to read this page. I'll be taking the story down from this site in August, but the page explains why, and what you can do about it if you want to, etc etc.
The news is, it's been rewritten, revamped and it's going to be published as an original novel in August by Dreamspinner Press! I'm thrilled!
April 2008 The site has passed 25,000 hits!
I'm so grateful to everyone who's visited. Things are quiet around here at the moment as I spend all my rare leisure time on original fiction, but I'm still tremendously glad to see visitors and share Gundam Wing delight with you all. Email me anytime and let me know if you've enjoyed your visit!
09 April 2008 Posted a 1=2 ficlet I wrote for link_worshiper, called Another Country. It was a cheeky reminder of her recent visit to England, when I got to see her in real life not just online. See it here.
The excellent Gundam Herald community on Live Journal is hosting a fiction contest up until September. Go and check out the details at the link below - and subscribe to the community if you haven't already, the wonderful moderator Natea collects up great fiction and art and news on a regular basis for our delight, and all with the theme of Gundam Wing.

21 March 2008
From Gundam Wing - a gorgeous one-page manga from the talented ASIA for my short story 'Dating'. the vision of Trowa and Quatre at their most mischievous around Heero and Duo was too much of a temptation for her! LOL For the full page, click on the icon here.
UPDATE re Loose ID contest : I didn't get through to the next round, I'm afraid. But they were very encouraging about my entry, so I just have to keep trying.MANY THANKS to anyone who may have voted for me, I really appreciate it!
And some exciting news in the original Fiction world - a story of mine has been chosen as one of the final 16 in the Loose Id Sweet Sixteen contest! It's a great thrill and a chance for me to get recognised. Sixteen sexy stories, they release an extra excerpt each week for a month, and the stories are eliminated acording to the readers' votes. Voting started March 19 and continues for the next 4 weeks - I'm hoping not to get knocked out in the first round LOL, so I'll keep you posted how I do.
My story is DEEP COVER under the name Clare London - it gets hot!! Sex in the cellar or what??!! (yes, some of you may recognise it from a Gundam Wing story, I've used the same plot, on the premise that you can't have too much of a good thing!)
Come and vote for me if you can - all the details are on THIS LINK. You need to vote for all the pairings each time (I'm at pairing G, near the end) but that just means more delicious fiction to read! THANKS ^_^
29 February 2008 For Sharon's birthday - such a lovely lady and such a true, passionate fan of 1x2x1 - I posted a 1x2x1, 3x4x3 ficlet called Dating, see it here.
20 February 2008 For Zazu's birthday - and very late, I'm afraid because that was in January! - I posted a 1x2 ficlet called Confrontation, see it here
19 February 2008 In celebration of Valentine's day, I've posted a 1=2 ficlet called Valentine, see it here.
08 February 2008
It can't be Feb already, can it?!! My original novel The Gold Warrior is published at last - due on Feb 18, with pre-orders taken from today on Dreamspinner Press, link here.
Thanks SO MUCH to anyone and everyone who's supported me in my original endeavours, I really appreciate it. I hope some of you may read the book and enjoy it and LET ME KNOW, too *lmao*
And there's also my short story 'Special Offer' in Dreamspinner's Mr Right Now anthology, available now, link here.
All the info on my books can be found on my other site DarkPearlDiva, come and look in on me there!! 
02 January 2008 I've neglected you badly, I know! *sob sob*
Basically, I've been very busy with original fiction, finishing the sequel to The Gold Warrior. It'll be called Twisted Brand and it's planned to be released by Dreamspinner Press in 2008, a few months after The Gold Warrior. I've been wrapped up in writing it for many months now - but some time off over Christmas meant I had the time at last to finish! I can't wait for them both to be published and to share it with you - as always, I'll keep you posted on progress.
I wanted to write more GW fiction over Christmas but obviously my time was a bit limited. But I managed three ficlets, so they're posted today, on the theme of Christmas gifts - GIFT : Phantasma (1x2), GIFT : Fragrance (1x2) and GIFT : Blue Eyes (3x4). Find them on the 1x2x1 page and the 'GW-Other' page.
I've also got a couple of fabulous ficlets to share with you written to some silly prompts of mine: To Do Poor Sinners Good (1x2) by petenshi, and It's Cold Outside (1x2) by Wickedgame. See them on the Gifts: Fic page, they're great! and you must go and seek out other fiction from these great writers.
And... I won some awards in the Boys Next Door Smut Contest!  It's always a thrill to be in this contest, the site is a great one, full of fabulous fiction from all fandoms. Here are the fics I entered and their awards: Best Oneshot : End of the Line Best Arc : Ambush and Payback Best Romance : First Time
THANKS SO, SO MUCH to anyone who voted me in!!!! I appreciate it more than anything, especially as I don't have the time to spend on GW that I'd wish to at the moment. It cheers me up no end to know you're still reading and enjoying what's already there!!
28 November 2007
More original publishing news!!
There are now TWO Christmas stories of mine available on Eternal Press, Just Like Scrooge ($1.50) and Secret Santa ($2.50) - both reasonably priced e-books (they download as a pdf file into your email inbox).
And Masquerade is available for pre-order as an e-book on the same site, will be delivered to you soon, only $4.95! I'm a featured author for December on their lovely, revamped site *am suitably astonished and delighted*
Please send me feedback if you get time, as much as you like *LOL*
And I've signed a contract with DreamSpinner Press for a short story Special Offer, it'll be included in their PRINT anthology Mr Right Now, available in January 2008. I'll keep you posted on progress on that one!
*am exhausted*
22 November 2007
Posted a GW 1x2x1 drabble I wrote for Leslie's birthday (aka klingonpoo on LJ) called The Morning After, see it here - and it inspired ASIA to draw the most delicious picture! Click on the icon here for the whole picture, and don't forget to visit her site if you like her beautiful style.
07 November 2007

Just a short, seperate post to mark another Big Day for me - my Original short story Just Like Scrooge goes on sale today on Eternal Press (under the Christmas Stories category). Only $1.50 for m/m romance goodness *hehe*. If you buy it, let me know what you think - I'll send you a special Christmas card in thanks!
And I'm still on target for the release of Masquerade on Dec 7 - I'm just finishing final edits.
07 November 2007 Had a truly marvellous time at Yaoi Con - saw so many good friends and chatted about yaoi and Gundam Wing to our hearts' delight, along with plenty of other things. And then when we were worn out talking, there were the cosplayers to watch instead *LOL*. I'm missing it already...
I wrote a GW 1x2x1 fic for it, and read it aloud at the GW Meet and Greet panel - excellent fun! It's called Fly Yaoi *snicker*. See it here.
The results are also out for the Moments of Rapture GW 1x2x1 Seven Deadly Sins Contest, so many great fics to read! I've posted my entry here, it wasn't placed anywhere but I loved writing it, and I'm very proud of it, it's called Heaven Sent, also to be found here.
Great to be back!!!
22 October 2007 I'm on holiday until the end of October now, off to Yaoi Con in San Francisco, I'm really looking forward to meeting my friends again! And I'll be thinking of you all as I'm immersed in yaoi goodness - honestly I will! LOL
See you all in November! 
15 October 2007 Posted a GW 1x2x1 ficlet for another lovely reader, Cathy, who's been working her way through my fics, despite internet problems - so I hope this ficlet makes you smile! It's called Cookies, and you can read it here.
In non-GW news, I'm proud to say that I'm having a book published in December by Eternal Press. It's called Masquerade and features 4 original m/m, explicit, erotic tales, all by me! (look at this delicious cover!!) It's an e-book and you can buy it from the site from the beginning of December.
I'm very excited about this, and grateful to Eternal for giving me the opportunity, and I recommend everyone to go and browse around the site. At the moment, I'm the only author publishing m/m fiction with them, but there's plenty of other genres that you may like to read as well - and they're growing the portfolio day by day! I'll gently remind you all about the book nearer the time, and if anyone buys and reads it, I'd be thrilled to have feedback!!
10 September 2007 Posted a GW 1x2x1 ficlet for sharon, for the 6th Anniversary of her fabulous site, Moments of Rapture. The story is called Happy Anniversary Duo-style, and you can read it here.
07 September 2007
The lovely artist ASIA was inspired by my fic Moving Out to draw one of her gorgeous pictures of Heero and Duo!! I'm so excited, and it's so sweet, capturing perfectly one of the scenes in the fic. It's called E.T. - if you read the fic, you'll know why this phrase caught her artistic and talented eye! *lol*
06 September 2007 Posted a GW 1x2x1 ficlet for merith called Moving Out, a companion piece to Moving In. See them both here.
03 September 2007
In some non-GW news, I've been offered a publishing contract for The Gold Warrior, an original novel that I started back in 2004 for the NaNoWriMo challenge. It'll be published hopefully in February 2008 by DreamSpinner Press - I'll be thrilled if any of you buy or and/or read it, this is a marvellous step forward for me.
Even more exciting, I'm writing a sequel to it, and that should be published too, later in 2008.
I'll keep you all posted of developments! Many, many thanks to anyone who's supported my novel writing in the past, and please feel free to email me if you want to know how it's all coming along.

UPDATES (July 2007 - August 2007)
29 August 2007 I've posted two GW 1x2x1 ficlets, one for lilzazu called Colour Me, and one for natea and link_worshiper called Moving In, because they're both moving at the moment! They're both on the 1x2x1 page.
22 August 2007
I've posted a gorgeous Heero and Duo picture by suzume-tori, it's called Concern and she's illustrated the emotion between them quite beautifully. Please go and see the full version on my Gift-Art page, or click the icon here.
09 August 2007 Two new GW 1x2x1 fics, I've had a burst of activity before my holidays! I wrote a 1=2 fluffy ficlet for link_worshiper called Instant Messenger, and I wrote a 1x2x1 sequel - at last! - to End of the Line (remember trains? frottage? did you read it on the Summer Drabbles page? LOL), called His Stop. See all these fics here.
Housekeeping Note : I've rearranged the older 1x2x1 fics on to their own pages, archived by year of writing. I found the 1x2x1 page was becoming too large, loading too slowly both for me to update and for the readers. Some of the older links on the Updates page may not work as a result - please let me know if you find any other problems!
06 August 2007 A lovely reader Amanda emailed me from here on the site to congratulate me on the 20,000 hits, and as promised, I wrote her a GW 1+2 ficlet, Fireworks, see it here. She seemed to like it, she likes the conversation fics *lol*. And it's a thrill for me to get email about my fiction, as always!!!
Some great new pictures up on lisa-chan's page, too, especially some beautiful ones in the Kaori Yuki style 
03 August 2007 PLEASE NOTE : I'm no longer involved with any Admin on the GWYaoi.org site, home to the Novella Challenge. I was Treasurer for a while, for the funds that some lovely readers pledged to the Challenge 2006, to pay for art prizes. I'd like to let people know that this money is still being held for that use, and is quite safe.
Any queries or issues, please take them up directly with the site.
30 July 2007 20,000 HITS!!! thanks so much, to all of you, it's been a great pleasure to share my fiction and fandom goodness with you over the last 2 years!
Here's a Performance Bonus *lol* for you all, if you email me and let me know you saw this banner on the site, I'll write you a GW drabble!
And corazon wrote me a delicious little GW 1+2 drabble recently, Terms of Endearment, see it here.
Here's to plenty of Happy Reading in the Future!!!
26 July 2007 It's 6 years since the start of A Little Piece of Gundam Wing, the marvellous site maintained by dacia, and the first place I ever posted a fic! There's a fabulous selection of great GW fic there, and links and much other goodness, go and visit if you haven't already!
As a gift for dacia, I wrote Surprise?, a 1+2 ficlet, see it on the 1x2x1 page.
I also commissioned a picture from keire_ke, a very talented artist, to illustrate my recent fic Stuck in the Closet with You. It's gorgeous, and brings out perfectly the humour I was hoping for in the fic - and Heero in glasses?? Magnificent! *LOL* See it in full alongside the fic here, and also on the Commissioned Art page.
Another pic I commissioned was of Heero and Quatre, a gift for a friend wildchildcait, from the marvellous artist Silke. She is so good at portraying their friendship and affection. See the full picture on the Commissioned Art page.
17 July 2007 A smorgesboard of fics today! I wrote a small GW 1+2 ficlet called In Your Lap for samikitty, see it on the 1x2x1 page.
merith wrote a hot little GW 2x1 drabble called Listen and Learn in response to a prompt of mine which was probably 'voyeurism', because that's such a favourite of mine *lol*. See it on the Gift Fics page.
Some people also wrote some lovely GW drabbles to cheer me up after a bad time, and these are all on the Gift Fics page - a great blend of humour and romance! There's Sick (1+2) from lil_1337, Tangle (3x2) from trixie, Banana (1x2) from daimeryan_rei and Overheard (1x2) from lilzazu.
And there's a superb picture from natea of Heero and Duo - so very touching and romantic, she is a very talented artist and I'm very lucky to know her. See the full picture here.
05 July 2007 merula wrote me the loveliest GW 1+2 drabble, I've called it Personal Problems - my prompt was for Heero and Duo watching something with sex advice on the TV! *lol* Her writing is always both witty and loving, I'm a great fan of hers! Read it here.
I wrote a humour ficlet, GW 1+2, called Technical Support, see it on the 1x2x1 page.

****TWO YEARS ONLINE!!!!****
I know - it's been too long since I updated! And I couldn't let the 2ND ANNIVERSARY of the site pass by unmarked!!! Many, many thanks to all the visitors to the site over these two years - over 19,000 hits, that's fabulous. And your attention and entertainment has kept me creating fiction very happily!!
I hope to have some more fiction to post soon - I've been on a self-imposed rest recently, but I think I'm ready to get back into the swing of it soon. Wish me luck with it!

In revenge (!) I wrote her a GW 3x2 drabble called Salsa, read it here.
14 May 2007 Posted two new GW fics, written for The Vault's Spring Songfic Challenge. One 1x2 called Wee Small Hours, read it here, and one 3x4 New Shoes, written as a followup oneshot for the characters of Trowa and Quatre from True Colours, read both of those fics here.

13 May 2007 The awesome link_worshiper has drawn a magnificent picture for my fic Ambush, one of the follow-ups to True Colours (see them both here). It's Superb, her talent is amazing, and well matches her love for 1=2!!! ^__^. Click on the thumbnail here, or go to the Gift Art page here - but however you access it, please note that it is very Lemon, so not worksafe!!! 
I can't thank her enough - and I'm hoping she might do one for the sister-fic, Payback, one day! *LOL*
08 May 2007 I can't believe it's so long since I posted - April was really busy for me, with two weeks on holiday and the rest of the time spent at work trying to catch up. So now there's a large update for you all, alongside my apologies for neglecting you!
I wrote a GW 3+4 ficlet follow-up to A Hard Day called A Public Face, for jania, and a 2+3+5 friendship fic called Goes to Show, for sharon. Read them both here.

A quick HI here to lysander_o, a visitor to my Guestbook here on the site! Thanks very much for the feedback on Good Poison, my Weiss Kreuz fic. I haven't got any plans to write any more WK fic, though I love the characters and reading other authors' fiction. But I may write some more one day - I never say never! - and thanks again for your kind words.
I've posted a link to my original fic 'Precious Possession', on the Original - Other page. It was the fic I submitted to the Yaoi-Con 2005 Anthology. I haven't posted it in full on this site, but the link will take you to my original slash fiction site DarkPearlDiva, where you can read the fic on the 'Long Fiction' page. I'd love to know if you read and enjoy it - and anything else on that site that may take your fancy! It's only been opened since February, and my 'collection' is modest, but any feedback is greatly appreciated!

UPDATES (January 2007 - February 2007)
18 February 2007 Just had to share the great news, that ASIA has done another beautiful pic for the 'Kiss' theme, showing Heero and Duo in another pose.
Her style is so delicate but passionate at the same time - her pics are mesmerising! She's allowed me to show them off here on the site, so here are icons to both of them, plus I'll showcase them next to my fic of the same name here.

15 February 2007
 Posted some Valentine's day fics, one 1x2x1 Kiss, inspired by a beautiful pic drawn by ASIA, read it here. Also a 3x2 fic as a gift for trixie called Valentine's Day - Morning, Noon and Night, read it here. Then I wrote - for fun! - my first Gravitation fic, YukixShuichi, All Wrapped Up, read it here.
I'm also starting to change the order of my 1x2x1 archive, and putting the most recent fics first, rather than you having to scroll down the page to find the latest ones. Feel free to let me know if you like the change!
I don't know if anyone will notice, but I withdrew my entry fic - From Both Sides Now - from the gwyaoi Novella Challenge this year. Of course I continue to support the site, and the Challenge, but I was unhappy with having my fic there this year. My reasons are personal, and are a combination of disliking the judging format and also my opinion that the fic wasn't the right kind for that challenge. I will probably post it here in the next few weeks, if anyone would like to read it. I'm very proud of it, wherever it's posted! And thanks to anyone who did read it on gwyaoi and may have voted on it.
13 February 2007
Posted a fantastic GW 1x2 Valentine's picture by lisa-chan, Say Ahh - click on the icon here, or visit it on her page, where you can see all the other fabulous stuff she's done. It really gets us all in the romantic mood! ^_~
10 February 2007 Posted a 1=2 birthday gift fic from wickedgame, called Pieces of a Puzzle. It's a gorgeous fic, full of hot and yearning love, and a beautifully written and intriguing twist to the more usual get-together fic. Read it here.
30 January 2007
Posted the partner 1x2 PWP fic to Ambush, called Payback. See it here and with the original novella here. Enjoy! ^_~
 Misanagi made me a lovely icon for my birthday, which is really apt for this site - so here it is for you all to enjoy! Many thanks to her!
29 January 2007
I had an excellent birthday, and wrote a oneshot 2x1 PWP to celebrate! It's also based on the guys from True Colours, and is called Ambush, see it here and with the novella here. It has a partner fic, which I should be posting soon as well.
 I received some beautiful gift art, too. Link_worshiper drew me a magnificently naughty pic of Heero & Duo. She is so talented, and her style portrays them so realistically. And so very, very sexy, too, of course! ^_^ See it in full by clicking on the icon here, though be prepared for NUDITY and a lemon theme!
 lisa-chan also updated her page with three more gorgeous pics, and one was especially for my birthday, 'Teddy Bears & Piercings'!! See it with her other new additions on her page, in categories 'Pics for Me', 'Gundam Wing-other' and 'Original'. I'm really thrilled with my pic ^___^ Also see it here by clicking on the icon - partial NUDITY.
27 January 2007 Well, as a great birthday present for me (it's tomorrow!), the site has just passed 15,000 hits! Thanks to you all, who've visited and supported me and who make it all such a fun experience!
22 January 2007 I recently joined in a meme on Live Journal, where readers could suggest a fic of mine where they'd like to see another scene. Merith suggested True Colours, and I really enjoyed revisiting the characters of Heero and Duo from that fic - the result is a short oneshot, New Canvas. It's posted on the 1x2x1 page and also with the original Novella as well. Enjoy!
PS I'm also considering some follow-up fics to other posted fics of mine. Keep watching!
21 January 2007
Posted two lovely fic drabbles gifted to me by trixie - she is the absolute master (mistress??) of the clever drabble. She captures the characters perfectly, and she writes in so many fandoms that it takes my breath away. She wrote me one in Yellow, Role Reversal, and one in GW, 3+2, Red Band. Read them here.
 Posted a beautiful sketch by porcelain - she sent it to me to cheer me up at a bad time for me. It's featured at the top of my Fiction - Gifts page, and also if you click on the icon here. I'll always treasure it, along with her kind thoughts.
19 January 2007 Posted a short GW 1=2 fic I wrote for link_worshiper, called WTF. Read it here.
09 January 2007 The gwyaoi Novella Challenge entries are now available for reading, and as it doesn't appear to be run as an anonymous challenge this year, I can let you know that I have an entry in the 25k+ words category - From Both Sides Now. For the time being, it's posted only on the site - the link is shown above for you to visit and read *all* of the fics there.
And please take time to register for the forum there (link also above), and rate/comment on the fics - we would all love to hear from you, whether it's my fic or anyone else's!
03 January 2007
Just posting to say Happy New Year to you all and to thank you for supporting the site throughout its first full calendar year of existence! I hope you've found a lot of delight and enjoyment here - I've certainly appreciated seeing the number of hits to the site increase, and I've especially loved receiving emails and comments from you. We authors thrive on contact, you know! (well, of course, you do... ^_^)
In other news, the gwyaoi Novella Challenge is finally opening its doors to readers - the site is gradually re-launching, and they have set up Forums, so that you can comment and vote on your favourite fics and Novella entries. Find the links in the paragraph above, and go and enjoy yourself there!

UPDATES (November 2006 - December 2006)
NB the links to the 1x2x1 page shown here all point currently to the 2007 page - I recently reorganised into years. I'll re-direct them to the 1x2x1 2006 page soon.
28 December 2006
Posted a GW Duo+Wufei fic for dacia's birthday, Upwardly Mobile, see it on the 'Gundam Wing - Other' page.
And I've been gifted two lovely 1x2x1 fics for Christmas, one from merith for a prompt of mine, Christmas Gifts (I've named it), and one from wickedgame for a prompt of mine about decorating the tree, It Looks Good on You. See them both here, thanks so much to the authors!!!
24 December 2006 Posted the last 2 drabbles in the Secret Santa series, You Know You Want To and Unwrapping. See them here.
MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE!!!
22 December 2006 Just posting to wish people Happy Holidays, though I hope there may be another update or two before 2006 ends ^_^.
And to let you all know that the 2006 gwyaoi Novella Challenge is still on, but the deadline has been extended to 02 Jan 2007. It means you readers will have to wait a little longer to read the fabulous entries, but it also means any writers have a chance to finish any works in progress. See the Rules page hosted here if you want to join in, in any capacity.
21 December 2006
Posted another Secret Santa fic, 4x3x4, Love Hurts.
 And misao_duo - who's always creating the cutest icons - has created me a banner for the Secret Santa page!!! It's based on the icon here - so go and see how it brightens up the whole page of fics!
20 December 2006 Just have to post lots of praise for this most fantastic pic done by ASIA, this time for my fic Ghost of Christmas Yet to Come. It's going to be my chosen pic for "Updates - most recent" for a while. Click on the icon above for the larger version. It's so gorgeous - and creates the winter scene so vividly. Visit her marvellous website here.

18 December 2006
I added another GW 1+2 fic to the Secret Santa page, Strong Medicine.
I was 'prompted' by ASIA to consider a sequel to Just Like Scrooge, and so I wrote Ghost of Christmas Yet to Come. See it here.
trixie wrote me a Christmas drabble for Spike & Vicious from Cowboy Bebop! It's really bloody and dark, it's excellent *lol*. See it here.
14 December 2006
The marvellous artist ASIA was inspired by one of my fics, Just Like Scrooge, to draw a doujinshi. It's truly wonderful, please go and see it on its own page here. I'm really overwhelmed with it, she's caught the mood of the piece and Heero & Duo so well.
I added another GW 1+2 fic to the Secret Santa page, Special Feature.
The very talented author petenshi is writing a series of fics for lemon_advent based on Christmas songs. They're lovely, she's written in a whole range of genres and I can't recommend the fics enough. I requested something for 'White Christmas' and she wrote a gorgeous 3+4 fic, you can read it here (scroll to the bottom of the page).
9 December 2006 Well, quite a large post today, to catch up with the Christmas cheer!
I've been posting some fics on LJ on the lemon_advent community, and as there may be a few more of these before Dec is over, I've given them a special page. Many of them are on the theme of Secret Santa, and all of them so far are GW 1+2. You can read Maketh the Man, The Right Recipe, Play On and Bah, Humbug! on Secret Santa 2006.
I also wrote a GW 1x2 fic for lisa-chan's birthday, Write On, you can read it here. 
And talking of lisa-chan, I've posted some more pictures from her on her page, one in the 'GW-Lime' category - though you can have a sneak preview of the gorgeous Zechs at the top of this page! - and three in the 'Original' category. Her style is maturing so well, these are all magnificent and you must go and look! I'm very proud to be hosting much of her work here. 
And don't forget that the gwyaoi Novella Challenge finishes this month, you can read the rules and challenge updates here. If anyone is kind enough to consider donating some money for the art prizes, please contact me. A pledge is sufficient at the moment - we wouldn't need the funds until 2007, when the judging is finished and the artists decided upon.
28 November 2006 I've been away from online life for a while, hope you haven't missed me too much! I'm back with a small ficlet and a couple of pimps.
I hope you enjoy my 1x2x1 ficlet, One of Those Days, some fluff/sap that I wrote to cheer gwy up after a bad day. It's here.
The gwyaoi site has been plagued recently with hosting and outage problems, but its 2006 Novella Challenge is still proceeding with enthusiasm! If you're a writer or a reader, please support it, it's produced some fabulous fiction in past years. If you need to know or refresh your memory with the rules, I have the details here on my site. If you need to contact anyone about your entry or other queries, please feel free to mail me or DSA, who is co-ordinating the event while the site is being revamped.
The site would also welcome any friends who might be able to donate some funds for the Challenge prizes. Every little helps, even if it's only $10 or so. Please contact me or DSA as above if you'd like to be involved in this way.
 It's nearly time for the lemon-advent challenge on LiveJournal, where fics and pics are written/produced for the 25 days of December, leading up to Chrismas. I'm hoping to get some written myself, and there's a veritable feast of work to read and drool over! If you're interested in writing/drawing for it, or just interested *lol*, follow it on LJ here.
4 November 2006 Well, I had a brilliant time at Yaoi Con, met some new friends in person and spent great times with some old ones. It seemed to me that the cosplayers were out in force this year, which made for excellent entertainment, and there were some stunning boys to remind us of what yaoi is all about!
Hi to all those I met there, especially any fans and/or other authors and artists whom I hadn't met before. Keep in touch!!!
So now there's quite a large update to treat you all to - hope you enjoy!
Posted a short GW fic just before I left, for kebzero. It was going to be his first Con and his journey was even longer than mine. I wrote a fic exploring the traumas of a long journey - but 'adapted' it as humour, and for Heero and Duo! Nothing Ventured is here - and of course I'm going to claim literary licence and call that my 'V' fic! Now I only have 'Z' to cover...
While we were in San Francisco, we did some sightseeing. We had a great day out but we nearly lost people here and there, including me on the BART train! I wrote a GW 1x2 fic to mark the day, just for our amusement, and so did kebzero. Hopefully they'll amuse you too! You can read mine - An Innocent Abroad - and kebzero's - Making Waves - together here. He kindly allowed me to post his alongside mine. Great memories of a fun day out!!
Also, badmomma64 made me an excellent icon to illustrate the occasion, of Heero waving forlornly as he's borne away from his lover and friends! It's here, and also with the fics. A great treat, and makes me smile every time I see it! 
The plane journey home also inspired me to write another 1x2 fic, Sightseeing - read it here.
I commissioned a set of chibi pictures recently from anime_fishi, to illustrate my Summer Drabbles page. See them there, and also on the Commissions page.
The very talented artist Porcelain drew me a doujinshi for my fic Hold Me. It's truly magnificent and I've posted it on its own page here. My dear friend merith commissioned it for me. It was one of the loveliest gifts I've ever received, and something I've always dreamed of, my fics coming alive in pictures. I'm immensely grateful to both of them and hugely impressed by Porcelain's talent.
I received some other lovely artwork which I'll try to scan sometrime and share with you. Ponderosa sketched me something 1x2x1 for my casual prompt of 'frottage', Suzume tori drew me a lovely 1x2x1 sketch - with me as a happy fangirl observer *hehe* - and mis_shepherdess gave me the original of a pic she did for me earlier in the year, 'Waiting for the One I Love'. I felt very very special ^__^

UPDATES (September 2006 - October 2006)
NB the links to the 1x2x1 page shown here all point currently to the 2007 page - I recently reorganised into years. I'll re-direct them to the 1x2x1 2006 page soon.
12 October 2006 Nothing to post fic-wise I'm afraid, but just to let any visitors know that I'll be away from the site from Oct 18 to Oct 28 for a trip to Yaoi Con in San Francisco. It's outrageous fun and a chance to meet up with a lot of people I know from online and in the GW fandom. I've been looking forward to it since I left last year's Con!!
So see you all when I get back!
8 October 2006
Posted a couple of GW fics, a drabble Hug (1+2) for wickedgameff and a ficlet Quickie (2x1x2) for sharon. Yes, that means I can tick Q off my alphabet titles list! They're on the 1x2x1 page.
lisa-chan has posted another 3 lovely drawings, one based on Count Cain (see the 'Inspiration - Kaori Yuki' category on her page) and two original characters ('Original Characters' category).
merula wrote me a cute GW drabble for (early) Halloween, featuring Duo and Heero in character from her fabulous fic 'Californication'. I've posted the drabble here.
