I've got one series and a smattering of shorts here, feel free to pursue! :D

Western Skies - A Star Trek XI AU/Fusion Story


Once upon a time, there was a genetic shift that caused unusual effects in the human population. But much of the world wasn't ready for this, and through a forced drug regime, the x-gene (as it was called) was made inactive. But when a boy is born under tragic circumstances onboard a shuttle being bombarded by radiation and energy from an unknown singularity, things might just be changing again.

There are some X-Men inspired elements borrowed, but this is not a crossover. If you don't know anything about X-Men, don't worry about it. :)

=======================================

All Western Skies-related Artwork (Mostly by me, with some art by others as well ::blush::) Here! There is an R-rated image here, FYI.

=======================================

Western Skies Soundtrack/Fanmix - Basically songs that inspired me, plus ones "heard" in the story. :)

=======================================

The stories of Western Skies in order:


Summary for Under an atomic sky: Chris Pike gets a very odd call from an old friend in the middle of the night, and his life is never the same...


Summary for Where men can't walk: Where Jim is not lonely, he likes the peace and quiet of the desert, and he wishes certain people would just shut up about it already.


Summary for Or freely talk: Jonathan Archer isn't a doctor by any means; but as he has found out many times during his career, sometimes you just have to rise to the challenge. Caffeine usually helps.


Summary for At his father's right hand: Chris is generally of the opinion that he is pretty damned good at what he does, hell, Starfleet even agrees with him. But captaining a starship and raising a genius son who just happens to have wings are entirely two different things, as reality has enforced on multiple occasions. 


Summary for In search of experience: Jim has issues. He knows this. People without issues don't generally get into bar brawls just to get their head to calm down. They also aren't completely paranoid over people trying to get into their pants. Honestly...he's just getting really tired of secrets. 


Summary for Looking for one good man: Len was once a plain old country doctor, not so long ago. He hasn't quite figured out how ended up basically courting an angel, ending up in space, and becoming a hero, but at least one of the three isn't so bad. He thought he had lost most of his family when he left Georgia, but he may have just found a new one when he wasn't looking.

#6 isn't posted on LJ yet, but you can read the first half (50k words) at either ff.net or AO3 until I finish.


The first five stories are 117462 words long in total.


You can also find this series at my ff.net account, or at my AO3 account. :)

Thanks for looking!

Whoring for presents time! :D (Since my birthday and Christmas are coming up and all.)

I accept cash, Amazon giftcards, and Tigerdirect giftcards; I also am completely willing to relieve you of any extra BPAL Imps you don't want. ;) 

I also have an Amazon wish list here:

BUY ME THINGS

For some of the cheaper items on the Amazon list, if you are local, I might suggest checking with my mother first to make sure she didn't buy them. :P


...that will be all. :D

<3

EDIT: I have a very strong suspicion that my mother has already purchased DQIX. I would suggest ignoring that. XD;

For people who might actually want to read my Cyber Formula fic, which was a big experiment more than anything, I figured people could use a little primer to what Cyber Formula is. As no one in the Western world seems to have really heard of it. 

If you DO know what CF is, please note that the fic is:

1. A Sentinel fusion fic
2. Slash
3. Hayato and some of the other main characters gets little more than cameos
4. Actual racing is hardly mentioned

Because one of the first English fics in a microscopic fandom should totally be an AU, right? :P

The fic will be posted tomorrow, but I wanted to get this up ahead of time.

If you survived that wall of text and have any questions, feel free to ask me!

...featuring Monster High dolls. No, I haven't gotten into them, I've been helping hyperbolicsquid find the ones he's looking for. This entails a lot more than most would think. xD I've seen the inside of more Walmarts and Targets in the last few weeks than I have in the last five years.

I do confess, when I lucked out and called my local Walmart Supercenter to discover that they had a box of the B&W Skull Shores Frankie Stein that hadn't been put on the floor, and I snagged 3 of the 6 (all claimed, sorry.) I kept one for myself. Their proportions are actually pretty interesting, I was thinking at trying my hand at making some clothing for them, and I needed a doll for that. Makes sense to get the doll that was only $4 and change, and came with no accessories beyond a bracelet that would have to be cut off and a stand. ;)

For fun, I took a few photos after dunking her head in hot water to get the hair gunk out:

Legs for miles, these dolls have...

----------------------

In other news, just about done with my Small Fandom Bang fic, it'll be posted on April 20th. Still unemployed, but I gave myself another month's leeway with bills by selling nearly $1k in anime stuff at the Anime Conji swap meet. Protip: Accepting credit cards goes a looong way. I got one of those Square readers for my Samsung Stratosphere, worked great. :D

Not done a lot else lately of note besides that, I think. I'm boring. ;)

Okay, I need to update more.

News:

Not much. Seasonal position at JCP ended, I'm currently looking for a preferably office-type position somewhere that pays enough that I can move out on. To even consider it, I need to clear $2k a month after taxes, as my cc and student loan bills are around $1k a month total. :/ Need to stop getting anxiety attacks from even job hunting, it stinks.

I still haven't finished most of my craft projects, as I've not felt really like working on anything. Today, I feel like crap, with an achy chest, and tingling arms and fingers, which isn't pleasant. But I did manage to get Pinkie Pie's tail on, fiiinally. xD;

Gotta finish up my SmallFandom Bang fic soon, but I think I'll actually be able to for once. :D Yayy. Need to return to a certain other fic after that. ::facepalm::

Alright, time to go bother people, talk to y'all later. :)

...that is all. :P

<3

You can see him here at my DA pages as well: http://anruiukimi.deviantart.com/#/d4hx061
and Tony again, if you missed him: http://anruiukimi.deviantart.com/#/d4glxn3

...this is Steve.



( Steve and Tony had a rocky start.... )

-------------------------------------------------------------

Now that Steve is done, gotta work on Pinkie Pie. Also, I think I'll be cutting out pieces for a Rainbow Dash...

I got myself a seasonal job at JCPenney, still no real full-time prospects. :/ I need to widen my scope, I think. 

I decided I wanted to make plush My Little Ponies (in the new style,) and have been spending lots of time practicing. :D

In creation order:

My Little..Giraffe? Curio: She was created due to me cutting the fabric the wrong way on the stretch. ::laughs::


My Little Giraffe - Curio by *anruiukimi on deviantART

Rarity: My first somewhat successful attempt! She's currently on Ebay. :) The fleece is just too stretchy, and she have a more...Bambi-esque profile. ::facepalm::


MLP - Rarity Plush V.1 by *anruiukimi on deviantART

Then we have the fanart pony done as my first test with the Minky fabric, which I like 4 billion percent better than fleece:

Tony Stark: Iron Pony :P
He's the best so far! I'll be doing one of the actual MLP ponies next for sale, but I suspect there's a Steve pony in my future. :)

And speaking of Steve, here's version 2 and 3 (small is v.2, large is v.3) of a Steve Rogers pillow plush, which can be ordered at my Etsy Shop :3



Aaaand...that's all for now. :) I hope everyone is doing well!
