Fists and Lipsticks 2: 8, 9, 10 uploaded

I have been updating pretty quick recently because I MIGHT be gone for a week because Meia arrived here in China yesterday. We'll be going around places for vacation, hehe.

F&L2-CH08 in Fictionpress and Soompi
F&L2-CH09 in Fictionpress and Soompi
F&L2-CH10 in Fictionpress and Soompi

Chapter 8 is the chapter that Yoon fans would love. I apologize for the lousy Korean parts or if they are wrong or if they sound ridiculous. Meia just found the translations in Babelfish. Special thanks to people in Soompi for helping me correct some parts (luckii, bee, cmacaronee, and woodchild.jnr).

Chapter 9 contains the deal between Ayane and Mr. Williams. In writing this chapter, I made her as intimidating as she could be, from her clothes down to her manner of speech. I wanted that 'startle' factor with a mix of tension, angst, and sarcasm. Also, I made it as such to demark the great difference between her outer self and her 'lost self'... a transition between this chapter to the next one - Sessions Part 2

Chapter 10 contains the second day of Ayane's theraphy session with Shizuki. Aside from this, you would be given a little glimpse of what happened in the airport that night Ayane escaped from Japan with a certain Yoshifumi Shigeo (in Fists and Lipsticks Book 1). A little warning though... Meia cried after reading this chapter, hehe.

Thank you for reading F&L!

The Silver Crescent Chapter 6,& 7 uploaded

Lately, I've been really lazy updating my writing blog. Will someone please hit me on the head?

OUCH!

Anyway, here -

Chapter 6 in Fictionpress & Soompi
Chapter 7 in Fictionpress & Soompi

Well, Chapter 6 must be the most hated chapter of the Anti-Saori Club hehe... It just proves that my writing is effective in relaying that feeling. I created Saori's character to cause such pester and annoyance, not only to the characters but also to the readers. Bad news is, you're going to read more of her in the succeeding chapters.

Chapter 7 named 'Orders' particulary offers a glimpse of how Kosuke and Ayane are as 'gang leaders'. There would be an appearance of Dmitri Williams in this chapter too, and a face off between Nu Huang and the doubtful Yuken, who has turned into a professional photographer as you have read.

Who is Ayane meeting? Lots have been speculating that she's meeting Crosse... Well, let's see in the next chapter who that person will be (hehehe...)

F&L2: Sessions Part 1 uploaded

A chapter that took me three days to make.

F&L2 Chapter 5- Session on Fictionpress & Soompi.

For Fists and Lipsticks 2 – The Silver Crescent©, Reminiscence chapters will be named Sessions. Instead of being composed entirely of flashback chapters, the narration of ‘untold events’ would be done through a battery of psychological treatment sessions for Yoshida Ayane under Dr. Okamoto Shizuki. Like the Reminiscences, the chapters would be in first person, this time as told by Shizuki.

I had to learn the patho-physiology behind Post-traumatic Stress Disorder including the signs and symptoms. I had to learn how to make an acceptable medical history too. It was a hard task, but worth it since I learned a lot too. For a while, I felt as if I were a real doctor, hehe.

I figured out that using 'flashbacks' the ordinary way is too overused, so I came up with this new approach. Tell me how was it, was it hard to understand? I appreciate your opinion.

BTW, do I have a Korean reader around? I need help for Yoon's future speaking lines. Do PM me if you're willing to translate some lines for me and I'll credit you. Thank you.
