Fists and Lipsticks posted in Animeforum.com

My Angel Meia had this promotional idea (as she calls it) for my fic called 'Fists and Lipsticks'. After she bugged me in our 30-minute trip from the movie house to my condo, I gave her the permission to post the fic in a forum. Here's the link.

I haven't really tried posting my fictions in a forum other than Fictionpress (FP isn't even a forum *-sweatdrops-*). But come to think of it, it wouldn't hurt sharing it although it is much more prone to plagiarism and things like that... Hope it wouldn't happen (Man! I'd kill the person who steals my work!)

I received a long-distance phonecall from my mom in Manila a while ago. Guess what, my dog Red XIII had some neighbor's Golden Retriever pregnant! Talk about h*r*y, haha... Now, Meia's asking me for a puppy! Pretty early heh heh...

New F&L Chapter Uploaded

Fists and Lipsticks Chapter 11's up at last ! It's called Behold! The Miyazawa Gang!

Aside from introducing the infamous Miyazawa gang, I've added a Yuken-Shizuki scene as well. I'm glad it turned out quite nice. It took me four hours to complete it, and another 30-minute pre-uploading revision.

Meia dropped by my place today and helped me revise this chapter. Actually, it was her idea to put the Yuken-Shizuki scenes in this chapter, when I initially planned to write it after the Kosuke-Aya rooftop challenge (yup, you gotta watch out for that in chapter 12! especially shoujo fans *wink wink*). She has all the 'kawaii' ideas in her head and she pushes me to write them at once! So sorry for ZD readers if it is taking me so long to revise the chapters that I pulled out. I'm typically enjoying F&L recently.

Here's the link for Fists and Lipsticks =

Enjoy!

Fists and Lipsticks undergoes revisions

Yup, in fact several things have been changed. One major revision is that I changed the orders of names from Western to Japanese (eg. Kosuke Yamazaki to Yamazaki Kosuke, Aya Miyazawa to Miyazawa Aya). Honorifics (-san,-kun,-chan... etc) has been added to the speaking lines. Another change is Yamazaki Daisuke's (Kosuke's father) profession from chief of police to a big-time supreme court judge since it would pose as a significant connection between Aya and Kosuke.

A major grammar wrap-up was done, especially the 'jumping tenses'. Now I can guarantee that they're 90% corrected, in case I've left out some 10% (so please give me feedback in case you spot some of those mistakes. The reviews will truly help!).

Aside from Fists and Lipsticks, revisions for Zero Dragon is currently ongoing. In fact, I'm editing the final chapters of Episode 2, correcting a LOT of grammar errors (yep, the jumping tenses again). I'm proud to say I'm learning a lot from editing my fictions. In the next chapters that would be uploaded, perhaps it would lessen the risk of committing the same mistakes.

My air conditioning unit is broken and it's freaking hot here... I guess it would be nice to get some lemonade downstairs!
