There is a certain reason why I don't write Star Wars fanfiction anymore. Every time, there are new books, new concepts - all part of the canon. And that just blows my theories out of the water. Though I like reading AU fics and other fics written by others, it's just writing fanfics, especially during the NJO period is too hard.

Especially with Dark Nest I: The Joiner King out right now. Well, it's 5 years in between the NJO so there is room to write, but manipulating all those characters after the authors ran them through a wringer has become complex. They're not the same characters we fell in love with so many years ago. And I feel that NJO did something to rip them away.

I like parts of NJO, but there are also other parts in which I totally abhor and hate. Anakin's death, while it was very poignant, I felt what purpose did it have? There was something missing in his death and the effects afterwards.

So now I write thought pieces on Star Wars. Until I get the urge again to write a full length novel sized story. Only to find it shot down as more post-NJO or pre-NJO books come out. One good thing though, Michael Stackpole doesn't seem to be touching Tycho Celchu's time in Lusankya, so that's the only full-length novel I'm writing. ^_^ Another good thing, lightsabers rule.

Oddly, four days since I finished Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, I don't feel like writing in my HP fanfics. Perhaps it is a sign of things to come - either that my muses are half asleep.

Eh. Oh well.

Back to G-SEED and other fics. Esp. Lusankya.

Meep.

We muses are attempting to escape the rut once more.

And it's partially successful, though Baby Markus is still attempting to fly around in a Batman cape. *thwacks Baby Markus*.

Master has updated on her Gundam SEED story so head on to fanfiction.net to read. ^_^ Writing LotR and Lusankya is another story. Though I keep prodding Sikorsky to continue to torture Tycho, but he seems to be distracted by a shiny fat object called the Strike Freedom from Gundam SEED DESTINY. Grrrr.

Now I bid thee adeu and will talk later.

Master is in anothe rut for a while now. Apologies to all her readers if you are reading this. The rut is partially her own fault and that of the pressures of the outside world that is sadly called: REALITY.

You see, master has two jobs she juggles for five days a week. She is also juggling buying furniture for her apartment next year and saving up money. She also juggles her karate class and that leaves us muses with little or nothing to do. Well, except for Baby Markus who likes karate and is currently mimicing it's moves.

Quit it Baby Markus.

Anyways, she will try to have her next chapter up by this weekend. Of "Lusankya", "Shadows that Remain", and "Arbiter Forces." Please bear with her. This summer has been very busy.

Thanks from the muses, Haldir, Sikorsky, and Baby Markus
