This account is dedicated in full to my original novel in progress, Hermaphroditos's Box. You will find all related material here, including chapters, character sketches and sheets [in Scraps] and drawings of the characters. Fanart is loved. So are fanworks of any form really--I'd love to see fanfics of this someday [even with original fan-made characters], so long as I get to read them too. ♥

[ 03.25.08 ]: No fears, I'm still working on this! I've been looking for my original folder I kept the outline and a couple lost drafts for the next two chapters in because I forget a couple points in where I /was/ going but have decided to call that officially lost and construct a smarter, new outline before I add more chapters. I'll be working on a long overhaul of character personalities [adding more in-depth characterisation] and character physical appearances [need to design a few of the satellite characters and add some slight modifications to the main characters], et cetera. There's a lot of thought going into this now as I think I may really seek to publish this in the future, so expect to see a lot more artwork and character sheets. I'm giving you all a lot of trust in leaving this public, so please don't rip this off, though I doubt I need to say that. On the other hand I would /love/ to see fanworks, be it fanart or fanfiction if you want to play in my world with my characters or original characters of your own! I want this to spark imagination, not horde it to myself for profit. So yeah! EXPECT GREAT THINGS. Hahah.
[ 09.04.07 ]: Scrapped the entire thing and uploaded the new chapters 1-28! New cover page as well. Getting to work on a storyboard to outline the rest, then we'll be moving right along. As always, all comments and criticism are deeply appreciated.
[ 08.24.07 ]: It's been a long time. I'm tending to this account tonight and as soon as I have the time I'm going to begin new drawings for this and hopefully set to the task of rewriting what I have so I can finish this. I really love this concept and hope to actually make something of it...
[ 12.15.05 ]: I am officially picking up this story again as I am enrolled to take a Creative Writing class for my second semester of my freshman year at college. My professor expressly invited me to this class from her Composition I class and has agreed to allowing me to flesh out this story in her class. So As of January 17th, 2005, I'll be getting right back on it. Expect new drawings as well, including updated character portraits and hopefully a new cover!
[ 03.20.05 ]: Fixed some links and added fanart to this journal entry.
[ 03.02.05 ]: I got together my old HsB notebook and binder and realized that the last chapter I uploaded, XXVIII, is unfinished. I left this for so long that I forgot, and I do believe that I may have lost my most recent drafts, that these all are one draft short. I have the rest of XXVIII and it's edits on physical paper, so when I have the time I'll fix that and upload it.

INFORMATION AND SPECIAL THANKS
-------------------------------------------

This entire project is based on a dream I had that I relayed to Ally. I have only ever worked on one serious original chapterbook before--which I inevitably grew out of.

In my Junior year of high school I took a creative writing class and started finally putting it to paper. My teacher encouraged me and it ended up that I became excluded from regular daily writings in that class and dedicated all of my time for my Junior and Senior years in that class to this story. I was even allowed to draw for the story in class. I give my whole-hearted gratitude to my teacher, Anne and all the staff of School One--who allowed me to "publish" what I had so far as my final class project. Special thanks also goes out to my biggest in-person fans from that high school, Rily and Taylor; and my loyal fans who have been watching from DA since before I moved this from my primary account to its own. I withhold any apologies for the repetitive cliffhangers I've put you all through. You know you love it.

EXTRA SPECIAL THANKS goes out to Ally. Not only did she help me turn the dream into a story and continuously help me out along the way, but also she remained my express, sole editor for around a year. Unpaid, might I add. My original thought process is extremely jumbled and she wishes to be an English teacher in the footsteps of her parents, in the meanwhile I learned so much from her.
