Ow ow <3 I totally agree with you on the fact that there aren't enough colorbars for these two. This one's great. You got a lot of great scenes! *snatch*

It was a very pleasant long, arduous process finding all those scenes. *nods* Had to scour the manga for hours... sheer bliss torture! *smirk*

Fwee, you put it up! ^_^ Thanks!

Oooo~ Mind if I gank this? Will credit X3

~the seph

Fwee~! I get a cheap thrill out of seeing it up on someone else's profile, I really do. ^_^

Glad you like it! Mmm RenIchi... I'm hopelessly addicted. *points to the alarmingly increasing number of fics*

Hehee~ It's up on my profile. (Oh wait, did you already check? XDD)

I love it!!! So many other Bleach colorbars--so I was like, "Where's the Renji x Ichi?! D:" *tackles you* Plus your fics are awesomely, so... x3

~the seph

I did, I did check right away! *bounces happily*

I was so sad when I couldn't find one, and this morning I woke up and just said, "Right, that's it then, I'll make one!"

*is tackled* Oof! :) Glad you like my fics, thank you! I try but I can't remember everyone who reviews until I see their name a few times. Sorry if I missed you before! ^_^;

XD

Hehe coolness!! Unfortunately I suck at photoshop things, otherwise I'd make lottsa stuff left & right! XD;

Hehee~ Oh, that's ok. I don't really review much, so it's my bad :x Well, now ya know that ya got a lurker reader! XP;

~the seph

Oh dude, I totally suck at photoshop. This colourbar and some icons are the full extent of my ability. =/

Yay readers! :) Reviews are love, so don't be shy. *nudge* ♥ ^_^

... Well then I really suck at photoshop XDDD Hehehee~

Squee. Oh oh, I'll try to review more often then ^^

Nya~

~the seph

Oooou~ Awesome :) Stickin' it in my profile as I write this comment :D Will credit~

*giggles* I'm so pleased! I had much fun making this. :)
Thanks!

oh awesome!!! I like it a lot!!!
I've wanted for some time now to change the ones I had for manga ones!!! so it's a good start!!!!!!!! thank you!!!!!!!!!!! ♥♥♥

Thanks, I'm glad you like it! ^_^

I do like the anime one you have, the 'wild monkey love' (LOL!), but it wasn't quite what I was looking for.

haha yeah it makes me laugh a lot!!!! I liked it too but I've always prefered the manga so I wanted to change, and now it'll be smaller too XDD better XDDD

I snagged this and put it on my profile, thank you!

You're very welcome, I'm glad you like it! :)

I SNATCH IT AND RUN LIKE HELL :D

*got alot of sleep* *isn't tired* You need to get out of your comfy bed now. And talk to me.

OMG! I'm up I'm up, where are yooouuuuu?! *clings*

i love it.
i also love your fanfics, even if i am mostly just a slinker in the background.
and i love ichiren so much.
i think you agree. the hair is the main lure.
ah, renji.
/day dream

Hehehehe! The hair is an amazing draw. All through the Renji vs Ichigo fight in the SS arc the dialogue hinted that this wasn't just another bad guy. Then the hair came down, and I sat straight up. I don't think I moved again until the flashback episode was over, and I was teary and all "Noooooo you can't die, you're made of awesome!". And head over heels in love. :)

These two are just on fire together. And as far as I'm concerned, that fire is gonna burn forever, hot and bright. :) *sap*

Slinker in the background, hee hee hee! That's ok, but reviews are love, so don't be shy. Thanks for the compliment. ^_^

I'm sneaking a look at my communities list, and I find this! The colourbar is wonderful, hon. ♥ And I love the caption, too. :) :)

Thank you~! ♥ Sizzle sizzle, guys! So hawt, just can't resist.

I gave myself specialized text on my own profile. I was *this* close to just saying 'Amaranthine love' but that is too self-serving, even for me. :P (Ok, I may still edit it in the future though, lmao!)

Yo! I finally got your review reply! You're right, ffnet has been stupid lately. Er...in case you forgot who this is, I'm Crimson Skies on ffnet. I just got the message you left on my journal too. ^_^;

You know, sleep is overrated anyway, so I guess I can't blame you for not feeling guilty about stealing mine. *snickers*

Novel length fanfics like yours really do require a lot of work. I know exactly what you mean by the difficulty involved. I've got a long, ongoing project in another fandom right now that requires I do research, rewatch episodes, and think through as many possible scenarios as I can. So, I really do understand what you mean. With a series like Bleach it's a daunting amount. I guess I just really appreciate the effort you put in. It's something that people don't realize sometimes, probably because they've never had to actually do it before.

I'm a fiend for well-written stories, so I really love yours.

You don't mind if I friend you, do you?

P.S. By the way, I think the color bar is awesome. ^_~

Who needs sleep when there's Renjigo?! :D

Writing long stories is exhausting but incredibly rewarding. I had no idea how much effort Apotheosis was going to take... I thought Nexus was a lot of work, and that only took a month. I thought it was long, too - HAH! It's really nice to hear from someone who knows just what goes into producing something like this, and can appreciate all the different layers of effort.

I'm always tickled when someone enjoys my stories so much. Thanks. :) And the colourbar was just too much fun to make. I had to do sooo much research... :P

Friend away! ^_^

Lol! Who needs sleep when there's Renjigo indeed. Also, who needs crack when there's fanfiction? XD *waves 'my anti-drug' flag*

Thanks for letting me friend you! I thought it would only be right if I asked first...

Out of curiosity...have you ever gone back to one of your stories and thought "I can't believe I wrote this?" while you read it? It seems like a random question, I know, but I recently had a discussion about this with a friend.

^_^

Actually I have. In a good way and in a bad way - sometimes even the same story, lol!

I go back and read 'Fallen Star' and I see so many things I'd do differently now. I itch to fix the glaring mistakes, but I force myself to let it be what it is for now. But it still makes me cry every time, so the flip side is I can't believe I did that good a job on it.

I go back and read 'Nexus' and I think of what it could've been now that I've developed that universe more. I think of how it could flow so much better, and how I'd add this and that. But then I also am so proud of how I developed their feelings, and how I built this story on a solid backstory that I fleshed out even more in 'Apotheosis'. And I still get weak-kneed when I read their first times together. So again I leave it stand as it is, flaws and all. :)

Yup! That sounds really familiar. It's a bit of a weird phenomenon that my friend and I noticed, that two sided opinion that we seem to get on our own writing as time passes. I thought it might have something to do with personal growth as a writer. After all, your writing is a reflection of yourself really. I just thought it was interesting. So I've been asking a few people about it to see if something similar happens to them. XD

Just what I needed to make my profile perfect! *^__^* Will gladly credit.

Glad you like! ^_^
