Hey,



Ah well, I better go beat on that damn monk and see if I can finish out this chapter. Seriously. I'm THIS close and it's making me anxious. If that monk isn't careful, I'll threaten him with the dreaded "And they all died. The End."

Until next time,

Hey,

Well, the Maximum Challenge Results have been announced. Child of the Moon had been entered into the Drama and Songfic categories. It placed third out of forty-one entries in Drama, and did not place in Songfic. I'm pleased to have placed in one category. I was not certain how I'd do in this years contest. And, I do look forward to next year.

The results are here.

Congrats to everyone on my f-list who did well. You all deserve it!

Until next time,

Here is the list of work I have for nominating! Make sure you check both the Inuyasha Fanguild and Feudal Association's Policies on nominating, what is listed as eligible/ineligble, and most of all, have fun nominating!

Hey,

That's right, the Second Annual Maximum Challenge has been posted. I have decided to submit Child of the Moon in the categories of "And Then Cry Me A River," and "Sing a Song of Sixpence." If you will recall, last year, I won first place in the "And Then Cry Me A River" category for my original piece Bleeding Through. I don't expect I'll win/place with Child, but in the past year, I'd say it's my best completed work. It was fun putting my favorite band and Inuyasha characters together in one piece. Rest assured, I do have other stories on the docket (other than Journey, mostly song fics), so one never knows, I might try my hand at it again.

I have yet to decide if I will submit The Journey to the City of Endless Night for any categories. I am not certain if I want to make the judges have to read that long of a story when they will have so many other entries to work on. Perhaps if it was completed, I would consider it. Besides, I already know it can win awards as it has in the IYFG and Feudal Association.

Speaking of which, as you'll note, the nominations period has begun for the IYFG again. I have to thank [profile] doggieearlover for nominating Journey in the Best Serial category. This quarter, it is my only story eligible to nominate. Just remember, do not nominate it for Best Crossover, as I have requested. The Feudal Association is also having its voting period right now through January 20. Thanks to [profile] doggieearlover, again, Child of the Moon is on the ballot for Best Characterization for Sesshomaru. Don't forget to vote for your fave fics and fanart.

Other than that, I am hoping to get this silly chapter to finish itself up so you can enjoy. I know it has been a long wait!

Until next time,

Hey,

I thought I'd finally take the chance to post the banners I got for the last quarter. I know I haven't been around a lot, but my beta is visiting for a bit this week. Anyways, here are my banners:

Awards!!  )
The banners are well done, and I'm very happy to have them to mark the last quarter. It was a nice surprise.

As for the next chapter, I do have a couple scenes left to write, and then do th editing, so it might a bit more, we shall see. I also have my beta whispering in my ear about some songfics.

Until next time,

Hey Reader,

Well, the Inuyasha Fanguild awards have been posted and I must say they make me a lot happier. I'm very honored to have won, placed, or showed in the categories I was nominated in. I'm also honored to know so many good authors who are also on the winners list. It's nice to know that we keep such good talent around here at LJ and in the Inuyasha fandom.

This story orginated while I was listening to a collection of early Stones tunes. The Rolling Stones just happen to be my favorite band of all time, and I have been searching for a way to combine both Inuyasha and their music for some time. The song titled "Child of the Moon" came on and as I listened, I had this idea about a one-shot begin in my head. The lyrics fit the relationship that Rin and Sesshomaru have very well, and I knew I wanted to see if I could at leat make it work. I had no idea it would become this long when I began. Ten pages later, I have a complete story, one I hope you will all enjoy.

For those of you who are curious about the song itself, "Child of the Moon" is the B-Side to "Jumping Jack Flash." It was originally recorded in 1967, but was not released until 1968. You can find it on the album More Hot Rocks: Big Hits and Fazed Cookies or on The London Years Collection. A short clip can be found here.

Here is a video for the song. It's rare, and a real treat for folks like me who love, and I mean LOVE, to see rare stuff. This is a promo video made back in 1967 or 1968 for the B-Side "Child of the Moon." It's very funky, psychadelic, and abstract, but it's the real deal. For me, it's a real gem of a find, considering I've seen/read/heard just about everything you can of the Stones. Here it is.

And of course, here are the lyrics. You can also see them here:

Child of the Moon

The wind blows rain into my face
The sun glows at the end of the highway
Child of the moon, rub your rainy eyes
Oh, child of the moon
Give me a wide-awake, crescent-shaped smile

She shivers, by the light she is hidden
She flickers like a lamp lady vision
Child of the moon, rub your rainy eyes
Oh, child of the moon
Give me a wide-awake, crescent-shaped smile

The first car on the foggy road riding
The last star for my lady is pining
Oh, child of the moon, bid the sun arise
Oh, child of the moon
Give me a misty day, pearly gray, silver, silky-faced
Wide-awake, crescent-shaped smile

As always, feel free to leave me some reviews. I like to read what people think about my work.

Oh, and I made my first icon for the story. It's not the best, but I kinda like it. It's cute. If any of you who can do much better really enjoy the story, I'd love to see what you do for icons!

Until next time,

Far Away Eyes
