I just happened to watch The Lion, The Witch, and the Wardrobe in DVD... Maybe that's why my title kinda sounds like it (haha...)
Well, that was a short interval from the previous update. I guess because the ideas are coming and coming. More shoujo-ness in the particular chapter. Don't miss it:

It was fun writing this chapter (and Meia was like 'oh my god Hiro-kun, I loved it!'). I particularly placed stresses on 'awkward intervals'. You'll see another side of Kosuke and Aya - nothing of the harsh, I'm-ready-for-battle kind of aura. This is the chapter where you see them blush like typical high-schoolers in-love (nothing like a gangster at all) and seemingly unsure of what to do next for every surge of 'doki-doki's.
The original plan was to lock them in the staircase, but I realized that it is too cliche. The world has gotten enough Hana Yori Dango-like scenes. So I came up with another idea, hence the necklace scene... I dunno if it has been done before (please message me if you know of one movie / anime / book where a similar scene happened) but I SWEAR I thought of the idea myself.
I may be uploading new chapters more often since, as I have said, the ideas are currently smoothly flowing in my brain (good thing for me!). The story hasn't gotten much plot to this point, and it seems as if the whole 15 chapters were all Aya-introductions. But now, things would revolve around the characters. In fact, in the next chapter it would be Hidemi who's going to be in the spotlight (and a FEMALE character... *grins* Watch out for it.)
I said before that Fists and Lipsticks may be patterned to a movie's length. But I guess the story wouldn't fit in a 2 and a half hour film. So perhaps yeah, this one's a series already. Although, the story is still much much shorter than Zero Dragon.
Ah... Zero Dragon... When can I ever find time to re-edit you *sweatdrop*. Currently, ZD is also in the 15th installment. However, I pulled it out from FP for editing (so you may have noticed that I have more than 200 reviews, a number of them reviewing for chapter numbers that do not actually exist - - - that's because I pulled the latter chapters out for revisions).
I'm coming to Manila tomorrow. My lil' brother (not really little, he's 16 already) e-mailed me, inviting me to go with them to Puerto Galera, a beach spot in the Philippines. Apparently, they're having their November break. So yeah, since I think it would be nice to go for some tropical heat, I'm flying back to Manila and get some sun.
My Oakley shades, my handy-dandy $20 beach shorts, yellow Havainnas, and the vanity lotion... Pack pack pack... Galera, here I come!
Oh, I'm bringing my laptop too. It might be good writing stories at beachside.
