Updates
16-08-2007
It have been ages since the last update. ;-( I got *extremely* distracted with a certain manga/anime/movie. Those of you who happen to visit my LJ from time to time probably know. The fanfiction I wrote for that fandom took me longer than I planned (I was going to finish it in April, then I came up with the version B of it... never mind). Poor Delivery is still on hold. Hopefully for not too long anymore (how long have I been saying that?).
What I bring you today are two new chapter of The Holocaust Piano in Phae's fiction, and an illustration to Delivery made by Hakucho. Here and in Delivery story index.
Enjoy!

An update finally.
Having put Delivery on hold (yes, I did – to those who don't read my LJ, but it's not for long; I will just finish my DN fic, then give a try to one original work that shouldn't take too long and I am back), I didn't have much stuff to put on the site. Thus the delay. Now I finally gathered enough. So, here we go:
1. The next chapter of The Holocaust Piano by Phaedra7veils (it has been waiting long enough on my hard disc). Enjoy!
2. A new oneshot fic: Starting Over by Labingi. Welcome the new author. ;-)
3. A new pic by Mathia. Go and see for yourselves.
4. A new link in the CD Drama section. Dark Erogenous subbed visualization. Definitely a must-see. ^_^
Hope you enjoy the update. ;-)

A very brief update. One thing: two chapters of Phae's The Holocaust Piano. Chapter nine (the second of the new ones) is part one of the whole chapter, so wait for its other part. Enjoy!
And another thing: new pic by Lenge. It's not quite a Delivery illustration as there won't be such a scene in the fic, but considering clothes and surroundings, let's say it is Delivery. And besides, it's simply a very nice pic. ;-) In Single works and on Delivery front page.

No fiction this time. But lots of fanarts instead. ;-)
Firstly – Mathia and another beautiful pic to On Hire (gloomy Raoul from chapter 7). Secondly and thirdly – two new artists who came to me with illustrations to my fics (oh yes!): Jade, who is a very fast artist as you'll see, not to mention she's very talented, and Lenge with perhaps just one pic, but it was a great pleasure to get it too. You'll find Lenge's pic here. I certainly hope for more from them both. ^_^ And finally yet another new artist – Milky. Her fanarts aren't illustrations my fics for a change. ;-) In Single works. Enjoy!
19-12-2006
I guess that's a Christmas update already.
A small one, only a few fanarts, but what fanarts they are! Welcome a new artist: Saniika and her three beautiful artworks. Also an absolutely awesome and for me personally – most touching pic by Mathia – a cover pic to On Hire. Mathia took a break from AnK, but now he's back and promised to continue to illustrate my fic. So expect more. I already can't wait!
Merry Christmas to all of you!
06-12-2006
Some really yummy stuff today.
Fanfiction: Phae's The Holocaust Piano, chapter 7 and my Delivery, part 6. Enjoy! I just wanted to mention that this chapter of Delivery was proofread by Phae for which I am very, very grateful to her. ;-)
Gallery: Finally! Chapter 5 of the third edition of the novel was released unexpectedly fast and just recently I got hold of it. So now you can see new Katsumi Michihara's illustrations in Michihara's gallery.
Fanart: Two lovely arts in Single works. One by Rinjin, another by Sirielle. Again, enjoy!
02-11-2006
For once I kept my promise. Here is the second part of the update. The whole new section of the Gallery: Concept Art. Sketches and projects of characters, places, cars, etc. Some of those I already had here, but today's update brings much more – the stuff I've never encountered on any of the websites. The new images are screenshots from the DVD version of AnK. They were made by Sirielle (many thanks, Sirielle!). I hope you'll enjoy.
31-10-2006
Again the two-part update. I have more stuff prepared, but I'd go crazy putting it all up at once and trying not to get lost in that. So, for now part 1:
Fanfiction: The Holocaust Piano – chapter 6. Some of you probably read it already on Ff.net. So maybe it's nothing new. Still, how could I not have it here? ;-) As an addition another pic by Phae – this time it's Katze dressed as an elite, a scene from the newest chapter. I always claimed he'd make a perfect elite. Enjoy!
Sorry, no Delivery yet. But I'm working on it. Part 6 is almost done.
And fanart: More pics by WhiteMist. This time no chibi. This time these are two tough guys. Meet Mr. D and Mr. K. One supposedly without feelings, another just recently started to feel. ;D
More stuff really soon, probably Thursday or Friday (yeah, we'll see how Lena keeps her promise this time).
26-09-2006
And here comes the update that was supposed to be ready about two weeks ago. Late again, huh?
First off, two more parts of The Holocaust Piano. Certain things inevitably come to an end. As an addition, the author's own vision of one of the fic's scenes – you'll find it right with the fic.
Staying with fanart – one new pic by Vanduran. This time it's Raoul's portrait.
And finally an upgraded version of the article Myths of Ai no Kusabi in the Articles. I added two new chapters to it. All explanations inside the article. I am open for your questions.
Enjoy!
11-09-2006
After a shamefully long time finally an update. Actually part 1 of it, as in a few days I plan to add some more stuff.
And so today...
Finally part 5 of Delivery. In Lena's fanfiction. Enjoy, enjoy! It's quite a long part. I had a really hard time writing about repairing the car, as I don't know anything about cars, let alone about repairing them AND in English. :-I So forgive me my language errors. I hope Shayne will soon sweep them all away. Also – a corrected and slightly reedited (!) part 4 is now available. I changed the scene order at the end of the chapter, added one scene, and one expanded. The new fragments are perhaps not important for the plot, but for a few reasons I wanted them there.
Aaaand–-a completely new fic in the archive. The Holocaust Piano (available also on Ff.net as Trojan Horse) by Phaedra7veils. To those of you who haven't read this fic yet, I strongly recommend it. It's a really good story – in character, in canon, and extremely interesting (I can't wait to find out what happens next ;-).
Also, a few new fanarts. First of all – four funny pics by WhiteMist (among others, Riki from JSF, so the series is now complete!), and three pics by Vanduran. And – btw, two of them are not new to this site. Before, they were hosted in Single works as pics by "author unknown". So, I'm truly happy to announce that the author has finally been found. So, go to the Fanart section and enjoy!
One more important note. I finally set up my LiveJournal. The link in the main menu. That's the place where from now on I intend to put notes about the progress in my writing and stuff. Now, every time you enter my site and see that there was no update, you won't be left in the dark. You can always check my journal and there you'll probably find some answers to how my work is going. I guess you'll feel better with such knowledge, and I'll definitely feel better knowing that you know. ;-) That's also a good place where you'll be able to leave comments about new parts of my fic.
That's it for today. Be back in a few days for more stuff. ;-)
28-07-2006
Ask me what I was doing for all this time when I wasn't updating? Among other things – I was drawing. Yes, I sometimes draw, although it costs me a lot of effort and time. So, anyway – in the Fanart archive three new pics by Lena and one by Mathia. Enjoy!
And in the Fanfics, a new section – Fanfic Recommendations. What is it? There are quite a few other fics out there that I really enjoyed. They all seduced me with something – whether is it an overall idea, or the mood, emotions, style... various things. You may know them already, so maybe they won't be anything new, but I wanted to credit them here. And so, here they are. Again – enjoy!
09-07-2006
After almost two months... a small update. ;-/
First. Delivery 4 arrives. It's a short chapter, but I hope you'll like it. For now the version without Shayne's corrections, so again you'll have to put up with my English (or wait). Btw, Shayne finished working on chapter 3 and now the corrected version is up. Both chapters in Lena's fanfiction, of course.
And the second little thing. In the Novel section I added a link to chapter 4 of the translation of the novel and some info about new releases.
That's all for today. (What was this stupid Lena doing for all this time? I assure you – I had many things to do and I'm by no means loosing my interest in Ai no Kusabi. Quite the opposite, so don't worry. ^_^)
Like I said, it was a small update, but expect something more soon. I suppose in a week or two there'll some more interesting stuff here. So be back soon.
15-05-2006
Okay guys. From my POV it's been ready for two weeks. But I sent it to Shayne for corrections as a native speaker's POV is always more accurate. Unfortunately, she is still checking and I don't want to wait anymore. So here it is – Delivery, part 3. I guess my English is good enough for you to at least understand it. And of course, as soon as I receive the corrected version, I'll put it up.
And another thing – a veeeery nice surprise. ;-) I asked Mathia to draw a few illustrations to On Hire and he agreed. So. Four Absolutely Awesome pics in the Fanart section – in both Fanfic Illustrations and Mathia's fanart. I hope you'll like them. I definitely do. ;-) And there will be more!
17-04-2006
Happy Easter everyone!
So, I updated finally. In today's menu fanart – only fanart, but lots of fanart. New pics by: Maya, Mathia, Morgo and Tata. And also a new fanart section: Fanart Illustrations. You'll find there illustrations you already know: to Fortress by Mathia and to Taming Riki by Tata, but also something completely new. The entries to the fanart contest to illustrate On Hire. Have fun.Delivery part 3 coming soon. ;-)
09-03-2006
The section Article was renamed into Articles. Whence such a change? I decided to reorganize it quite thoroughly. First – I added a new paragraph to my old article (the paragraph will be highlighted until the next update so you will locate it without a problem), second – I moved Shayne's article there and third – I added two completely new texts. One by Juxian – about Russian AnK fanfiction, the other by myself – about false beliefs in AnK. Since the section is now more related to the fandom than to official part, I moved it to the Fandom part of the menu.
02-03-2006
Quite a few new fanarts, by Tata (more of her illustrations to Taming Riki), Maya and Morgo (she gets her own section). And finally – Delivery, part 2. Hope you'll like it. ;-)
07-02-2006
Just a little update this time. New works by Mathia, Maya and Tata in the Fanart section.
Sorry for the delay with the fics. I guess that's when you say 'real life' got me. ;-/
18-01-2006
First of all a debut. The long awaited (I hope) sequel to On Hire – Delivery, part 1. Check Fanfiction by Lena. ^_^ I hope you'll like it.
Second – an addition to the latest update – Compare section in the Gallery. I indulged my personal kink and made a little comparison. Different versions of the same scenes by Michihara, different versions of the same scenes in anime and in the novel. Have fun. ;-)
And a little reminder for those of you who haven't seen the previous update yet. Check Michihara's gallery first. There's plenty of new stuff.
13-01-2006
It was supposed to be here faster. Wasn't, due to postal problems (I swear all incompetent morons at the Post!). But finally here it is! What can I say – one of my greatest site dreams has come true. Check the Gallery, you'll know everything. Happy Birthday again, Shayne! I dedicate this update to you.
