Vena Cava - to be launched this April

Yup, it's finally here.

Since I'm now tweaking the final chapters of Fists and Lipsticks 2: The Silver Crescent, I have decided to have my new full-length fic launched this April.

As I've said, Vena Cava (coming this April 2009) will be completely different from Fists and Lipsticks. Although still under the MYSTERY genre, I will blend it this time to SUPERNATURAL. I've started constructing the plot and twists from start to end but I have to admit that I'm a little bit unsure with the other details at this point in time, including the volume of characters I would include for this project. I will be posting it as some sort of "jumpstart" and by experiment (which hopefully will work just as much as F&L did). While my other story is still being posted in Fictionpress and Soompi Forums, I may not be able to update this as often as F&L.

Also, I made a decision to revamp the names of the characters and YES, once again use Japanese names for this story. I am more comfortable writing with Japanese names and the dialogues, scenes, and setting is pretty much similar to F&L so the transition wasn't that difficult as I thought it would be. Initially, the plan was to set it up in the United States, but for some reason I am not 'feeling' the fic just as much as I do whenever I write F&L. We'll go with Japanese, and yes, I've decided to put it up in Soompi as well.

Again for a sneak preview, Vena Cava is about a female medical student who has a peculiar "talent". I don't want to spoil it yet. It's a mystery fic with a supernatural twist, with action, drama (although to a lesser degree compared to F&L), comedy (this will have more of comedy since the lead character is quirky like Kaoru Saori, hehe), and suspense. Point of clarification = NO, VC is NOT about vampires. It will also have badass gangsters, crazy twists, and love webs.

I'm very excited to share this one with you guys. It's going to be fun and it's going to be different, hehe.

To the Fists and Lipsticks readers - Thank you so much for your continued support. We still have a couple of chapters more to go before F&L ends (estimated on May/June). Also, I'm planning to re-write Book 1 of F&L in an attempt to fix and refurbish my horrible writing and dense, high-schoolish descriptions, hehe. I will finish the revision of Book 1 before releasing the final complete .doc/PDF version of Fists and Lipsticks Book 1 + Book 2 combined.
