Hi everyone! Eb here!
Well, guess you want a bit about me then? Fine, fine. S'pose I have to get used to it anyway. I'm an aspiring writer with a broad spectrum of interests, both in what I read and write and without. A resident of England and proud to be . . . err well mostly anyway. Well, proud to be British/English anyway, maybe not so much of what's going on here right now and what's being done about it.
I accept criticism, but I draw the line at stupid comments like "this story sucks ass" or "you're rubbish". Kindly make your criticism constructive or don't leave the review at all; trolls tend to get fed to the dragon (they taste good with ketchup, or so I'm told). If you don't like the story, hit the back button; I can't please everybody and I don't intend to try; I enjoy life too much. Seriously, every time I see a lousy comment like that I just want to strangle something.
There will be times I disappear off the face of the planet; if you're honestly worried about me, just drop me a line. This happens either because I'm on a crazy writing spree, or else I'm bashing my skull in against some kind of block.
Unless I state otherwise, I own nothing besides the plot of the story. Unless you head over to fictionpress.com, where you can find me under the same alias as here (Ebony Mitsu). Then I own everything and there's nothing you can do about it, mwahahaha!
To My Regular Readers: I would like to take a moment to say thank you for your patience. As you all have probably noticed, I haven't written much for a while. This is because of events that occurred early in 2014 that had a very deep impact on my life. Some of you have spoken to me personally and know the whole story. I won't bore the rest of you with the details; just know that I was in a very dark place for a long time and have only recently gathered up the courage and determination to write again in the last few months. I just want to say thank you for all the support you have shown me; I wouldn't be back here without you. Now I'm back, and I'm me again. And I WILL be writing again.
Merry Meet! xoxoxo

New;
Children of Gaia: (RotBTD) It all began in a garden, with four young sentinels scattered and forgotten by time. Now trouble is brewing, and the Guardians must rediscover these unique individuals and reunite them before it's too late. But they face more than an impossible task; they face their own weaknesses, their own fears. Can the ancient evil be defeated, or will darkness win? (working title)
All the King's Horses: (Dark Parables) For six investigations now Danielle, the Fairytale Detective's handler, has arranged her charge's transportation to her assignments with a variety of different stables out of necessity. Now her charge is heading to the mysterious Lake Symhir, and Danielle is required to arrange transport once again. You'd think she'd have learned her lesson by now. Along the way, she decides that optimism is just another word for delusional. The Detective would agree. Dedicated to the missing noble steeds of the Dark Parables saga.
Coming Soon;
The Cat Butler - When Haru Yoshioka struck a deal with a shadow during a moment of weakness, she got far more than she could ever have imagined. What is the price of justice? And what is the worth of a soul? Inspired by InYuJi's sketches on deviantart; AU and a dark plot (Cat Returns) - Chapter 2/?
Quicksilver Memories - All is at peace in the world, but there is always something more right around the corner. The senshi have been having strange dreams and decide to move together to uncover what they stand for. But can they handle what this venture will bring? And can they keep a hold of it this time? Part 2 of the Quicksilver Saga. (Sailor Moon) - Chapter 4/?
Falling Through Quicksilver - The Crystal Millennium is at an end, but hope blooms in the darkest of hours. Forced to start again to have a chance to fight back, can our favourite heroes and heroines succeed as they fall through Time itself to defeat this newest evil? Even though they must start afresh, and with the prejudices of the entire system in their way as well as their enemy? Part 3 of the Quicksilver Saga. (Sailor Moon) - Chapter 3/?
Phoenix Tails - (working title) Sparrow has gathered his old friends and allies for what he believes will be a brief and final meeting, but the best of plans can go astray. Things are turned upside down when it is revealed that the other three heroes had some intriguing adventures of their own during their time apart. Exactly what those adventures entailed, and what this means for Albion when past comes crashing into present, can only be imagined. But one thing is certain; a phoenix can never die . . . (Fable II - III) - Chapter 4/?
TT Fic - (untitled as yet) Desperation can lead to many things. Finding themselves up against certain death and with nothing left to lose, seven ninja unleash a truly forbidden jutsu. Just what this means for the world, and more specifically for them, remains to be seen. Because when you through a stone in a lake, the ripples always spread far. AU-ish (Naruto)
How to Tell if You're a Writer
-If you talk to yourself.
-If you talk to yourself about talking to yourself (i.e. ‘I wonder why I talk to myself so much?’)
-If, when you talk to yourself, you sometimes speak as if talking to another person (i.e. ‘Okay, so have you ever noticed that the word ‘deliver’ could mean removing someone’s liver?’)
-If, after uttering a profound piece of wisdom like that above, you stare at the cookie in your hand in awe and say, ‘Wow, this is good stuff for sugar highs!’
-If you live off of sugar and caffeine.
-If people start to notice that you tend to check your e-mail every day for a week, then suddenly disappear off the face of the planet.
-If your e-mails tend to be pages long and incredibly random.
-If, when replying to someone else’s e-mail, you are sometimes so random that you fail to address the original message altogether.
-If you tend to collect the Bic Stics people leave lying around, kind of like picking pennies off the ground.
-If, no matter where you are in your room, you never have to so much as get up to reach a pen/pencil and paper.
-If the letters are starting to wear off on the keys of your keyboard. (I have a new keyboard now for my pc . . . .)
-If people think you might have A.D.D.
-If you think it’d be cool to have A.D.D.
-If you start constantly talking in third person, past tense.
-If you think about making lists like this, and start giggling for no ‘apparent’ reason.
-If your friends don’t even bother to look funny at you anymore when you start giggling for no apparent reason.
-And finally, the number one way to tell if you’re a good writer: If you worship English 101.
Girls Don't realize these things;
I'm sorry
that I bought you roses
to tell you that I like you
I'm sorry
That I was raised with respect
not to sleep with you when you were drunk
I'm sorry
That my body's not ripped enough
to "satisfy" your wants
I'm sorry
that I open your car door,
and pull out your chair like I was raised
I'm sorry
That I'm not cute enough
to be "your guy"
I'm sorry
That I am actually nice;
not a jerk
I'm sorry
I don't have a huge bank account
to buy you expensive things
I'm sorry
I like to spend quality nights at home
cuddling with you, instead of at a club
I'm sorry
I would rather make love to you then just screw you
like some random guy.
I'm sorry
That I am always the one you need to talk to,
but never good enough to date
I'm sorry
That I always held your hair back when you threw up, and didn't get mad at you for puking in my car,
but when we went out you went home with another guy
I'm sorry
That I am there to pick you up at 4am when your new man hit you and dropped you off in the middle of nowhere,
but not good enough to listen to me when I need a friend
I'm sorry
If I start not being there because it hurts being used as a door mat, only to be thrown to the side when the new jerk comes around
I'm sorry
If I don't answer my phone anymore when you call, to listen to you cry for hours, instead of getting a couple hours of sleep before work
I'm sorry
that you can't realize.. I've been the one all along.
I'm sorry
If you read this and know somebody like this
but don't care
But most of all
I'm sorry
For not being sorry anymore
I'm sorry
That you can't accept me for who I am
I'm sorry
I can never do anything right, and nothing that I do is good
enough to make it in your world.
I'm sorry
I caught your boyfriend with another girl and told you about it, I thought that was what friends were for...
I'm sorry
That I told you I loved you and actually meant it.
I'm sorry
That I talked to you for nine hours on Thanksgiving when your boyfriend was threatening you instead of spending time with my family.
I'm Sorry
That I cared
I'm sorry
that I listen to you at night talking about how you wish you could have done something different.
Ladies always complain and gripe to their friends that there is never any good guys out there, and they always end up with assholes who mistreat them. Well ladies, next time you're complaining, maybe look up to see who you're complaining to, maybe that special someone is right there hanging on your every word as usual, screaming in his head "Why won't you give me a chance?"
Because the person you are usually searching for is right by you.
If you're a guy and you agree with this letter, copy and paste into your profile as 'I'm sorry'
If You're one of the FEW girls with enough BALLS to copy and paste this into your profile, and you would never make your guy feel this way, copy and paste into your profile as 'Girls Don't Realize These Things'
