For those of you who are interested and are following my Lilo & Stitch fic, Deep Inside, I have finally updated it, after about five months of nothing. haha.

It is a PleakleyXJumba fic. Been working on it for the last year or so between my DWD fics. I'm just finally gladf i updated it, because I've gotten some reviews begging for me to update. Well, I finally did and proud of how it turned out. :)

Well, I have been stressing the last week or so and I guess my way of taking a break from all the stress has been working on my fics, for this is the second fic I"m updated in the last week. :)

The newest chapter of Playing with Nightmares is now up on FF.net!

Hope you like it!

Basically what the subject says: It's a miracle. I actually upated "In-Production" XD

The second chapter is at last, up!

Whooooooo!!!!

I haven't forgotten about you, InvderLava! It's just been a while for me to get this worked on. XD

I hope you all enjoy it!

Well, my weekend was nice.

It started off with me going to the Shawnee Animation conference with my fellow Imagineer club members at college, which is about five hours away from. We left at 1 on thursday, got there about 5 or so. We had the night to ourselves since the conference wasn't until Friday morning. So, of course, being college students, everyone wanted to find a bar to drink at.

i don't drink. Period.

First off, I'm only 20, and secondly, even if I could, I won't. That's just my policy. I have my reasons, I just don't feel like going into the right now. Anyways, thankfully I wasn't the only non-drinker. So I just stayed with my friend Amanda and we watched our friends become drunken idiots. One of them actually threw up three times and then fell asleep in the bath tub after getting back to the hotel. hahahahaha

I got home later Friday, dead tired. But I had a fun Halloween, spending most of it with my friend Rachel. By the way, happy belated Halloween to aLL of you! I hope you all had a great time! :D

And then today I tried focusing my day on my fics. I was working on In-Production, Playing with Nightmares, and Deep Inside (Lilo & Stitch fic). So, hopefully one of those will be updated and posted soon. :)

Well, that was my weekend in a nutshell. Until next time!

--EricaX

Honestly.....tonight could not have been more pointless. (The begginning part of it at any rate).

Well, firstly, my friend Rachel wanted me to meet her friends who live in West Virgina. They drove five hours to come up and see her, mainly because her one friend, Amanda is thinking about going to a college up here soon. Well, that's all fine and dandy, until I find out that their time here is very limited because she wants to go and visit that college, which is about an hour or so more away from our houses. (I'm Rachel's neighbor). And so Rachel and them want to do all this crap in this tiny amount of time.

Okay, fine. Well, I was basically like this: Well, just tell me the general time you'll be coming over so that I'll be ready to meet them.

I knew that their visit was going to be short, I just dind't expect it to be 15 minutes long. They had to get going and go up to Canton, which is about a half hour away for God knows why. I knew it wasn't because Amanda wanted to go to the college, because they had agreed before they arrived that they would do that on Sinday (tommorrow...or today, whatever). So...they were going clear up there to go see a movie or what-not or to go see the mall, so that Amanda and Joe could see the large mall up there.

Again, pointless, because they would be going up there in the morning. Rachel is a cheerleader and has a competition on Sunday, so perhaps that was a reason and they just wanted her to be there. (Amanda and Joe were going to meet other friends and be with them).

The point of my rambling is that....yeah, I got to meet them in person, just like Rachel had wanted me to, but....Our meeting was so short....I really didn;t get a freakin' chance to actually MEET them. It was just....touch and go.

And of course, Rachel whispers to me as they start leaving and they are out of earshot "So...??? What do you think!???"

I smiled and nooded. "I like them!" But in reality, it was like, "How the hell should I know!? I saw them for like....two seconds!?" 

I didn;t want to say anything, but my Golly....she is gonna get an earful. Well, no actually...if she asks again what I really thought of them, I'll probably just shrug and be like, "Yeah, I liked them. But....didn't get a chance to meet them much...."

I may sound like a bitch, because they were on a tight schedule, but....seriously....if you want me to get to know someone and get a chance to meet them, give me more than 15 minutes! Joe...this guy who was with Amanda, Rachel REALLY likes, and he hardly said anything the whole time and she'll be gushing over him and'll want my opinion....
HOW THE HELL AM I SUPPOSED TO KNOW IF HE'S REALLY AS SWEET AS SHE SAYS IF I ONLY SAW HIM FOR 15 FREAKIN' MINUTES!!!???


OKay, I'm just gonna end there....Just end it. I need sleep. I'm just glad I was able to spend the seocnd part of the night with my boyfriend, so it wasn't a TOTAL loss.

Peace.

Finally! I have the newest chapter of Playing with Nightmares posted!


It took me a while, seeing as how I've had several different ideas and plans on how to handle this, but this actually ended up being a combination of two ways I had wanted to write this fic. I re-read it and am proud with how it came out.

Hope you all enjoy it!

http://www.fanfiction.net/s/5170110/5/Playing_with_Nightmares

I would just like to take a moment and let you all know that I was successful in downloading 3D Max onto my laptop, which means I will be able to work on my Animation II homework and projects at home and on weekends. :) And save gas by not having to constantly go back and forth from school all the time to work.

Just wanted to share that with you, even if you don't fully understand what is even going on. XD hahaha.

Thanks for your time.

Btw, i am working very hard on trying to work with Playing with Nightmares, and I am making no garauntees, but I'm hoping to have the newest chapter up by the end of this weekend. :)

Okay, this past week i was under a great amount of stress at college and the main reason of this was because of my math class.  I have never been a good student when it came to math. Everything else? Fine. Math? No. Well, I have been flunking this class by getting 6/60 and 16/60 on the first two quizzes. You can imagine my stress and despiar at the sight of those hideous grades. Well, i knew something wasn't adding up, because even 'I' am not THAT bad at math.

Well, I studied and studied and studied. And when i got the third test, I still had no idea what the hell I was doing. So ten minutes into the quiz, i go up to the professor and in, as I fight back tears, i say" I have no idea what I am doing."
 He nods and gives me an encouraging smile and says, "See me after class."

So when class is over, I go up to him and he begins to tell me the math courses that there are BEFORE this class. There used tobe 'math modules" last year, that were a month long each and you learned so much in a small amount of time. Well, after many complaints and one hellish year, they got rid of those. Well, when i was scheudling my classes with my guidance councler, I was under the impression that I had completed all of four of those math modules and was ready for the nest class (the class i am currently in).

My math proffessor told me that there SIX modules and I had only taken four of them, which would explain why i was having so much difficilty with this class. It was two classes above what I should be taking!

So, now I have to drop that class, menaing i will get an F in the class because its too far into the semester. Great....

but the important thing is that I have one less class and a crapload less stress to deal with. Because, obviously, that math class was giving me the hardest time. And I no longer have any classes on Tuesday, since I only had that math class on that day. So i have more free time to work on my homework! Whoot!

So, things are getting back to normal for me.  I now will have some time to think about my fics again, meaning they are no longer post-poned. Though it still might be a while until i get anything long enough to be worth a chapter from any of them. :)

But at least I'm working on them again! XD


So yeah, just wanted to let you all know what's been going on. :)

Things have definetly gotten better for me.

The insanity of stress has led me to this. I wrote this within ten minutes, during a break of my stressfulness.

Just a short drabble involving my two favorite villains.

Title: Salty Carmel
Characters/ Pairings - Quackerjack/Megavolt
Rating - K


Sparks emitted from his plug hat as he looked at the package curiously. “Hmmm…..That’s……new…”
The tall duck that was leaning forward, looking at the shelves of potato chips, stood up, his large and colorful harlequin hat bouncing in every direction, the bells jingling at the end. “What is?”
“This.”
Quackerjack, the crazed toymaker of St. Canard, looked over at the package that Megavolt, his friend and companion, was pointing at. He blinked at it several times.
The jester gave out a squeaking noise, dropping the armful of potato chip bags he had been holding. “What!?” He grabbed the bag, bringing it closer to him upon inspection.
“The name of those chips reminds me of something…” muttered Megavolt, scratching underneath his plug hat.
Quackerjack looked up at him, incredulously. “No, really!?” he hissed sarcastically. “I would certainly hope so, Megsy!” he scolded.
Megavolt merely shrugged, grabbing more bags of chips. He then looked up at the ceiling. “Can we liberate these light bulbs after this?”
However, Quackerjack wasn’t listening as his mood then completely changed and his attention was focused on the bag before him. “This IS sort of nifty though! What are they!?” He took a moment to read the bag. “Carmel-covered popcorn!? Hmmm…..How….scrumptious!”
As the two of villains left the now-abandoned drug store several minutes later, hand in hand with two bags full of chips in both their possession, Quackerjack admired the new find they had made. Their craving for salty potato chips had urged them to steal as many chips as possible and now they had found Quackerjack’s newest obsession: Cracker Jacks.


-----
NOTE: Cracker Jacks are carmel popcorn which they often sell at baseball games. Its how I came across them. Just in case anyone was unfamiliar with them.

Didn't feel like putting in a LiveJournal cut. haha. Too lazy. Hope you enjoyed it. Just a little something that has come out of all my stress. Even when stressed, I think of them and my other favorite couples. :D

Okay, so things turned out a lot better than how they were going. I am still stressed, but not nearly as much. My fics will probably still not be updated for a little while, but I am still getting ideas and occasionally adding bits to them, which is good. I was able to work some things out.

I downloaded CAD: Architecture onto my laptop, whcih is a HUGE relief. And I found out that my one Animation project that I was stressing over isn't due for another two weeks! It was because our professor hasn't been down at my campus, but at the main campus, so we've only seen him through the television screen and the students were just talking and an actual due date was never truly given. So false alarm there.

And I don;t have any papers to write like I have the last two weeks, So....I'm back, but things are still.....on the q.t.


I just don't know what's gonna happen. *sighs*

Hey,

umm.....I am so stressed about school right now. i have so much shit i have to work on and finish.

So, you may not hear from me for a while.

As of this time, all of my fics are post-poned.

I may comment every now and then, but if you don't hear from me in the next few weeks, its cause I've died of stress.

best of wishes.

Alrighty! Well, first off, I have updated Longer Days Pass at long last! :)

Chapter 10: http://www.fanfiction.net/s/4734482/10/Longer_Days_Pass


This weekend has been so jam-pakced with stuff. Not all bad stuff. I had a lot of fun with my close friend Serina. She's my next door neighbor. In fact, I spent most of the weekened with her. haha. And then Staurday afternoon I spent working on my homework, which is a good thing, because Serina ended up spending the night here at my house and then my grandma and uncle came out to visit and I invited my boyfriend as well. So there would have been no time to work with my homework.

Well, somewhere along the line I managed to finish up a new short chapter of Longer Days Pass. And I apologize for its shortness, but like I said, its been busy here or me. :) So up above is obviously yhe FF.net link. :)

Lastly, I have made some DWD icons and since this is the first time I have ever made them......Please go easy on me!! I hope you like them!!


( My first attempt at DWD icons... )

Okay....so...I've picked and pawed at this idea for quite some time now and finally, I can happily say that I content with what this chapter is looking like and I would happily like to introduce you to my newest fic: In-Production. I believe this idea is from a plot bunny by Invderlava. If not, SORRY.

I worked extra hard on this chapter in hopes that it would turn out right!

Enjoy!

http://www.fanfiction.net/s/5361315/1/InProduction

Hahahaha. I'm in CAD: Architecture.

I only have about 20 minutes left of class. My friend Samara is wiating for me, cause she didn't know I was in this class, but thankfully I went to the restroom and explained things to her. haha. Sweet thing! She was waiting on me!

I only have this class, a class afterwards and then two classes tommorrow before a four day weekend! Whoo! Thank you Labor Day!
So....as apposing to my last post, where I was saying I will be more busy and praying that school goes well: I can happily say that school is going well for me. :D

So happy. Though there will be stress coming from all this later, haha. Of course, So, I might be able to get some work done on my fics... I'm hoping so. :)

Okay, so tommorrow is my first day back to college for my sophmore year. =/

This past weekend, I tried my hardest to get as much updated (fic wise) as possible because now that school is starting and now is techincally in session, I may not have nearly as much time to work on fics as I used to this summer. Obviously, because I will have less free time. I am determined to do a great job this semester, and to get better grades than I did before. I am not syaing that my grades were bad last semester, its just that I think I can do better, and that is exactly what I plan to do!

Now, this weekend I was also completely bombarded with one-shot fic ideas and I still have quite a few stuck in my head, which meant that I wasn't able to work as much on my larger fics, such as Playing with Nightmares or Longer Days Pass.

I have no intentions to stop writing my fics simply because I am back in school, but I am warning you now, I may not get the chance to work on them as much anymore.

But, I will tell you the fics that I am gonna be working with if/when I get the chance:

Playing with Nightmares
Longer Days Pass
In-Production (Quackjerjack/Megavolt fic where they are actors who play their roles and no one can know they're together)


And then several untitled fic ideas, one which is a request I got on DA account. I was asked to write about Quackerjack and the OC Gandra and them as a couple. I am not familiar with Gandra, but I think I know her well enough to possibly work something out. But nothing is cast in stone on that one.

Other one-shot fics are from the prompts posted by Cheezy. "Blanket Hog", (which I've started on), "To Touch the Devil" (Negaduck and Nega-Gosalyn), and several others. :)

So, yeah. And I'm not even gonna get started on my DA account or my lack of artworks. That really saddens me, but then again, I've been known to draw more artworks during the school year than any other time for some reason. hahaha. Which makes no sense whatsoever.

Well, that's it. Now, off to school tommorrow! Joy!

Alrighty! Two fics! That's right! TWO!

Both one-shots and from the prompts Cheezy posted up from Citrus Taste.

Title: Underneath the Roses
Rating: T (just in case)
Characters/Pairings: Bushroot/Liquidator
Warnings: Nothing graphic, just hinting
Summary: Bushroot attempts to rob a bank, only to find out someone beat him to it.

 http://www.fanfiction.net/s/5341327/1/Underneath_the_Roses

-----
Title: Rather Be With Me
Rating: K
Characters/Pairings: Launchpad/Drake (one-sided LP)
Warnings: Don't like this pairing, don't read.
Summary: Launchpad sits and wonders if Drake would rather be with him than Morgana.

http://www.fanfiction.net/s/5341292/Rather_Be_With_Me

Enjoy!! :D

Okay, well thanks to <lj user="cheezy">, I was able to come up with this idea, for she posted a journal and posted the Lime Table. Although the idea didn't come DIRECTLY from the Table she used, it's what brought me to it. I almost used the "Switching Roles" prompt, I ended up coming up with this cute little idea instead. 


And now have a new story up on FF.net! Whew!!
 http://www.fanfiction.net/s/5334169/1/Little_Weeds

I hope you enjoy it! :D

Well, I finally managed to finish the 4th chapter to Playing with Nightmares :)

I'm very proud of myself. I am now going to try to focus on my other fics now, since this fic has been updated more than the others. But I have no gaurantee. =/

Here you go! Enjoy!

http://www.fanfiction.net/s/5170110/4/Playing_with_Nightmares

I would like to take the time and share with you some Wizard of Oz banners I made. They were originally supposed to icons, but obviously resulted in being too big. I have always been a large fan of the 1939 adaption to L. Frank Baum's book, "The Wonderful Wizard of Oz". I have recently watched said movie and have gotten myself into an Oz mood.

So, I created these. It was a great amount of fun. The one I am most proud of would have to be the first one, involing Dorothy and Tin Man. :)





The words that you can barely see, are actually the lyrics to Tin Man's song, 'If I Only Had a Heart' . And they are simply being repeated several times. I have always thought this was a cute moment between them. :)




This second one involves my favorite character from the movie. The Scarecrow. I didn't try nearly as hard on this one, but since I wanted to use that silly image of him and those two quotes, I really found no other option unless the words were to be faded. But then they would be hard or nearly impossible to read. So I did it this way. :) A little more comical. hehe.



This was created because I love the sepia look and those words from the song used to be my favorite for reasons unknown to me. I mean, I loved the whole song, and of course, still do, but those words always made me smile and giddy when I was little. Probably because it made me think of candy. haha. :) Candy raining from the sky, cause that's what's she's pretty much saying. :D




And lastly. The typical "Somewhere Over the Rainbow"  one. I really wish the words would have come out better, but oh well. I sort of like how 'Rainbow' stands out more than the rest of the words. Again, love the sepia look!


Hahaha. Yeah, so this is what I did tonight, after a full complete day of clenaing my house with my friend. :)

I am half-way done with the newest chapter of "Playing with Nightmares", so I am hoping to have that up incredibly soon. :)
