F&L Chapter 41 up in FP & Soompi

41 in Fictionpress

41 in Soompi


I kinda had a hard time making this chapter for a reason I do not know. Maybe it's because I'm too tired of playing NBA in the PS2 - hahaha...

It was a rather short chap (6 pages in MS Word). And voila! Another set of unanswered questions! (Sorry readers, am I literally cracking your head already or what?).

A big surprise in the end, huh?

Aya's big come back is drawing near ^_^. Man, I'm enjoying writing this fic a lot now. The fact that it's approaching its climax and as I start revealing the keys to the secrets never fails to give me that excitement.

I'm very happy to have some new people reading my fic (mostly from Soompi forums). Man, the people there are very very generous! Once I get the time, I plan to return the favor to them at least by reviewing their stories to, even though I'm not really acquainted with Korean terminologies, celebrities, and culture.

And some people were asking about silent readers - Well, as far as I am concerned, I do not have anything against silent readers. I treasure them just as I treasure those who leave reviews. It just amuses me that in Fictionpress for example, my fic has A LOT of hits (I mean, a lot) but the reviews do not seem to match up with that. Though I must admit that I feel quite sad that I had a drastic decrease in reviews as far as FP.com is concerned, the overwhelming feedback in Soompi compensated for that. For Soompi, I would sometimes spot silent readers too (both anonymous and signed). They would drop by the fic whenever a new chapter is up. Well, to you guys, Thanks a lot for reading my fic. The mere fact that you take time to stop and drop by even you don't leave a note is a big thing for me.

Some, however, drops review via e-mail (perhaps they're shy to post up in the forums or FP?). And really, I really appreciate those little notes of appreciation. Motivates me to do better for every chapter. ^_^

Yeah, I welcome silent readers to my fic... but what I do NOT tolerate is plagiarism (heck, who doesn't anyway?!). So to readers, can I ask for a favor? When you see my work someplace else being owned by some old geezer from God-knows-where, can you please tell me about it and send me the link... and also help me BASH them? Thanks! Thanks! Thanks!

F&L Chapter 40 Up in FP & Soompi

40 on FP

40 on Soompi


10 pages in MS word - quite long, but I could say it is one of the most beautiful chapters I've come up with, especially to Yuken-Shizuki fans. The big revelations are about to come out, so everyone hang on to their seats ^_^.

I finished chapter 40 inside a hospital room. Last night, Meia's dad was rushed to the hospital due to dyspnea. Gladly, he's alright now and recovering. I had to go all the way to Florida and help Meia go to places to run a few errands. She was so worried, but at the end of the day when things stabilized, she's now alright - so are the rest of her family.

So kids, don't smoke alright? Smoking is bad for the health. You'll just land in the hospital. (*points ridiculously to self - - - alright alright, I'm sorry. I won't smoke anymore Meia ^_^)

I'm also thinking about changing genres in Fictionpress. One reason is because I am getting fewer reviews nowadays for a reason I don't know. In Soompi, however, things are different. The reviews and feedback are actually getting more as I update. Another reason is that the Manga section of FP is becoming a haven of MalexMale, FemalexFemale fics (which is NOT evident in F&L btw...). Maybe I'll transfer it to Romance section and see how it runs from there.

F&L Chapter 39 up in FP & Soompi

Another update for the week!

Fictionpress 39

Soompi 39


I included some Shizuki-Yuken scenes. Kosuke's back in the chapters, but unfortunately still none of Aya (I know you guys miss her, but she won't show up for another... i think 2 chapters?). There would be a brief Seiichi scene - an 'implied' fight scene by the way and a reminiscing mood for Kosuke.

In the next one, we'll be having some Makiko-Tomo-Kaede meeting and yes, another Shizuki-Yuken scene that readers would love.

Again, thanks for reading Fists and Lipsticks!

F&L Chapter 37 *Up*... and Promotional Video uploaded in YouTube

My AN is kinda late, but it's better late than never. For some reason, my connection 'time out' whenever I access Blogger for the past few days, I dunno why....

Oh yeah, chapter 37 is up - - Fictionpress 37 Soompi 37

It would be a rather... action-packed chapter in the first half, but would turn quite dramatic in the end. Kosuke will act differently - and you'll be surprised ^_^


I realized that I haven't posted this one yet here. Above is the new Live-Action poster. Meia collated the pics while I made the poster. And still, I don't have any idea who those actors/actresses are... well except for Aya Ueto (who is HOT by the way hahaha...) and Ikuta Toma (whom I've seen in Hana Kimi).

And after nagging me for a week, Meia finally finished the promotional video for Fists and Lipsticks. Here's the video:



Cool huh?

To the readers, thanks for reading F&L! I'd take the inspiration to make the next chapters even better ^_^

F&L Chapter 36: Aya's Protector now up!

Another short chapter, but this chapter contains the conversation between Crosse and Kosuke.

But Kosuke surely would be dismayed :(

For Shizuki-Yuken fans, the next chapter would be rather interesting ^_^

Thanks for reading!

(Hiro, why are your author notes getting shorter and shorter lately? - - - it's because I'm so sleepy already, haha.)

F&L Chapter 35: Weakness up in FP & Soompi

Fictionpress 35

Soompi 35

This is a relatively short chapter when compared to the previous ones. More Kosuke-Yuken bonding here. I was planning to place the whole Crosse-Kosuke conversation in this same chap, but it might reach past 10 pages. And so, I opted to cut it from here and save the suspense for the next installment! Haha... I know you're pissed off with my cliffhangers - but that gives the whole writing and reading stuff more 'suspense'. LOL.

Thanks for reading!

F&L Chapter 34: Yamazaki Gang Investigating Team - Up in FP and Soompi

Aya didn't show up here, but this is quite a relevant chapter.

Fictionpress F&L34

Soompi F&L34

The gang finally decides to investigate by themselves the mystery behind the Spectra Gang and the reason behind their pursuit of Miyazawa Aya.

You'll learn something big about Crosse too as the chapter ends - one of the secrets behind his real identity.

Hold on to your seats for the following updates! Thanks for reading! ^_^

F&L Chapter 33: Pretense up in FP and Soompi

The first story that updates in Fictionpress > Manga Section is Fists and Lipsticks! ^_^

http://www.fictionpress.com/s/2191842/34/

Read C33 in Soompi

Happy New Year Everyone!

This chapter takes you on a sneak peak behind Aya x Crosse relationship. Some hints are given, so it's up to you to speculate *grins*.

And as I've said in the previous author notes, the story already climbing towards its climax. There would be a cut-down on introductions as F&L's secrets begin to unravel. The significant role of Yamazaki Daisuke as well as the Spectra and the Miyazawa Gang and some political themes will now enter. Hence, expect this previously "light" highschool drama become quite complicated. But dont' worry, I'll maintain it on a certain point that it still has the 'romance' factor and the overall 'easy-read'.

Again, thank you for your time reading the fic. I know that it is quite long, but I promise to do my best to make each chapter appealing for your reading pleasure ^_^.
