Beautiful

"Beautiful" is a fic written for Gone In 60 Seconds, featuring the pairing TobyXKip, because those two had chemistry! It was partly inspired by a comment on the only other Gone in 60 Seconds slash fic, complaining about the lack of slash fic. And once that idea got stuck in my head, I couldn't get it out; so there you go; a fic for you guys.

Animal will hopefully be updated soon, but I've got to work out some other fics as well, maybe a F&F one, not Brian/Dom, but Johnny Tran/Jesse, 'cause Jesse doesn't get enough yaoi lovin'!

Birthday 3

I just slept ten hours straight! I've never done that! And I have huge bruises from the cage!

And then we met up with some other people and my best friend bought my gifts from the stalls at the festival. The other people had been there since Friday afternoon and it was freezing, apparently! but they had this bonfire going and it was one of the best on the beach, partly because we'd been stealing other people's wood.

Birthday 2

These are some of the presents I got for my birthday; the rest were books or games! I really like to read so that's what people get me. My bros came through with the jewelry! The thread bracelet is from a friend I had in England and I love it 'cause it has Ravenclaw and Gryffindor colors, the two houses I can't choose between! We went out to an Indian restaurant and whilst we were there the parents of a girl in my school who we don't like came in and I had to warn my brothers not to talk about her. It's actually very hard to write "Mollie's Parents" on a plate with curry sauce.

Birthday

Today is my birthday!!! Whoot for birthdays! And it happens to coincide with a festival that we have here in my town that has a fair and rides and bonfires and everything!!! So I won't be updating animal today and probably not tomorrow, due to that marvelous consequence of drinking known as "the hangover". My thanks to all my reviews for chapter 10 they were unexpected pressies!  Lots of Love, Phe xxxxx

Sectors

The sectors are dealt with like this:

The new district is sorta circular in shape and has six entrances (the little missing rectangles). Sector 1/1 is within the first ring on the left of the north entrance, sector 1/2 is within the second ring on the left of the north entrance, sector 1/3 is within the third circle on the left of the north entrance. The sectors only go up to x/3 'cause there aren't that many Lexcrant. The ring of teklad should bethiner and the krelaktyden should be bigger but I can't use Paint too well, and I couldn't get my Autocad to work.

Apologies to all my rockin' reviewers for the delay; I'm really sorry! I didn't realize I've been MIA for a whole month!! (This is me groveling. Is it working?) Er ... bad things happened involving my parents and my course work and it sucked and let's not get into that. I've been trying to make my Princess Wikus vision a reality, especially since it wormed it's way into my subconscious.Yeah, no more cheese before bed...

The Sectors, I'm working on it and it'll be up soon.

The IOPET is pronounced I-O-Pet and it will be explained by the short story "Prawns as Pets?" that might be uploaded soon. Okay, might! Probably not very soon, but might ...

I'd like to thank everyone who's still hanging on! Love Phe xxxxx

Possible Delay of the Manifesto of Mother Reviewer

I would like to apologize in advance for a possible delay on Ch. 10, as I have recently been given a couple of projects which I want to get ahead on. One is on human rights, which should be interesting research for Animal and later chapters of Snakes Belong In Slytherin (which I haven't forgotten; believe me). Love yas!!

Chapter 9!

Is up! Whoot!!

I'm sorry if it was a bit of an abrupt jump, or too soon. I can take criticism, just don't be mean. I'm delicate ... jk, tough as nails, me.

The parts in italics (when it isn't used as emphasis) is Wikus's (mostly victorious) Poleepkwa side, the bold is Wikus's (disappearing) human side (which only shows up when he's seriously depressed and doubting his choice to accept his place as Jikrenkld) and the bold italics is parts where his mindsets are unified into one, seriously determined, seriously pissed off dual-identity, which has the Poleepkwa side's devotion to his people and to Skirilla, and the human side's violence and slyness.

"Jar Of Hearts" by Christina Perri, "Promises" by Nero and (to a much lesser extent) "When Your Gone" by Avril Lavinge. Not 'cause I don't like it, but it didn't really fit; it had the poignancy that the chapter needed, but not the principle message of "Jar Of Hearts", which I interpret as 'You broke my heart, so fuck you, tosser." Which is, yeah, pretty much what I was going for with Wikus's behavior.

The Lokrst Markings on Jack are something else. Origanally there were three sets of Markings: Reasonable, Rekhalat and Riklasnt. But, ya know, the way I'm having them pair off and pop out sprogs is ridiculous if I was expecting them all to get Markings for it.

I'm probably gonna flunk History, so I might not post for a while. Sorry 'bout that.
