Hi there!! Thanks for your kind words Naus, sorry for not replying sooner but I have just been busy with school work and grrrrr, not wanting to get into any detail or anything

Lady of the Knight by The Kushinada. [3xR, AU, FanFiction.net]

Yay! Gundam set in the Dark Ages. Status is incomplete.

Oh wow!! I so LOVE this fic

I haven't read anything like this before and ahhhh, I so cannot wait for an update!! I'm surprised that I hadn't come across this story on ff.net though, since I am always on there looking for alternate fics

I must not be looking very well lol

Well *rubs hands together* with me posting here again, you can assume that I have more fics right?

Hehe, well indeed you are right:

The Perfect Christmas Gift by Nekessis (4xR)
Short but sweet. Very cute story and Quatre's Christmas present to Relena, not giving away what it is though

Heart Broken by Hathor (3xR)
Relena goes looking for Heero but doesn't like what she finds. Well, it was a 3xR pairing so I couldn't resist not reading it, surprising what Relena finds out about Heero, I didn't catch onto it at first hehe

Relena's Vacation by Hathor (2xR)
Hehe, another great fic by this author

When My Fingers Intertwine by Sailorcomet (4xR)
*sniffs* *sniffs* It's so sweet, yet so sad

In New Light by KSJ (5xR)
Wufei gets crippled in an accident and finds himself at Relena's door step. Oh I love the way this story was written, it was great, although it depressed me a little with what happened to Wufei

Ain't It Funny by Yamchas Big Pants (5xR) Status: Complete
Oh this was great! This was one of the first 5xR stories I had ever read and I fell in love with it instantly!!

Hmm, I am getting limited on what else I can suggest, I have other alternate fics but... some of the pairings featured in them aren't allowed on this site but other than that, I usually I refer to Blissful Ignorance or Fanfiction.net for all my GW alternate pairing needs so for now, I don't know what else to recommed to others to read. But I do have this:

Peace and Happiness - A site dedicated to Duo and Relena
This holds a WIDE variety of 2xR fics, most of them are already on here but you may come across a couple which you haven't read yet I am certain

Not that you may be interested either but I had created a few wallpapers dedicated to 2xR hehehe, I did them like ages ago but they were fun to make. Actually, is it alright to maybe submit wallpapers of certain GW pairings on her in the album section maybe as fanart? I wouldn't mind making a few 1xR wallpapers or even any other alternate pairing for that matter, when ever I have the spare time...

Oh by the way... how do you make those links to sites like you do? I can't figure out how to do it and I have to admit that having the adresses to the sites set out like that on my posts look pretty tacky huh?

It's probably simple but, I have no clue how it is done. Can I have a simple explaination on how to do it so next time my links to other pages won't look so bad? Hehe thanks

I kinda feel a little dumb asking but oh well lol

Anyway, hope you like these stories

Bye bye!!!

In retro, I think i myself might have given the wrong idea. I don't mean to put anyone down or make the way anyone thinks seem bad in my eye, I just have noticed, a lot of people see a fic that puts Heero with someone else, and the pass it by thinking it is going to be unrealistic, I myself have even written a Hy x Hs fic here on BlissIgn. I haven't quite finished it, but i've been real busy with school and in the prossess of moving 'sigh'. Any way I don't mean to imply that people are not open minded, just a little misled

I haven't gotten many replies, and this reiforces my "theory" on that people pass them by b/c of the challenge of puttingg Heero with someone else. Especially you Naus, But everyone out there, I really need reviews right now to encourage me to finish the story, if i don't get anymore reviews, I might not finsh it thinking no one will read it it.

So, at least give it a chance and take a look at the first few chapters. And, if you like tell me, if you don't, tell anyway b/c that will help me write better, jsut remember, if you don't like, tell em what you don't like. WEll, it is getting late and i got school in the morning so I must leave you all to your devices and go to bed, besides, I'm beat, I been drivin all day. With the best of intentions, Zeros_Lost_Soul
jsut Zero if that is to long to type

Ah, no hard feelings... and for sure, I'll check your fic out. It's Across the Winds, right? Lovely title, I must say...

I've recieved many e-mails commenting on what I've said here on the forum, mostly things like, "YOu've opned me up to the idea of Heero with someone else." or "YOu're right, most people pass by Hy x someone fics b/c of the challenges involved in writing the fics, With all this commmentary and support, I feel like i'm starting a revolution or something, Any way, I'll get to the point, It seems I have brought up a lot of support for the Alternative Heero pairings, and gotten people to start looking at them more, ANd i have naus to thank for the new found support of open minded fics. Thank you Naus! This forum has brought a lot of attention to readers and authors like my self, But, I still haven't gotten many reviews, a fewmore then normal, but only like 1 or 2, Any way, I hope the people that read this understand that Authors really do appreciate reviews, they help us write better so you can enjoy yourself more when you read. Zero

p.s. This was just a little bit of appreciation and a commentary from me to all of you. The readers make the writers.

<a href="http://victorian.fortunecity.com/brambl ... txt"><font color=gold><b>South City Midnight Lady by Yanagi</b></font></a>

A very well-written 2xR fic. Short and yet full of emotions as well as a very satisfying ending. It's just so bloody...fluffy that it'll leave you grinning at the end. Highly recommended by someone who's so darn picky with fics that i barely read any. But i'm sure you'll enjoy this one if you're into the pairing.

Great idea for this thread, Naus!

Oh, I'm liking the stories so far, Neon, no worries there ^__^ I'm especially enjoying Ain't It Funny. With what I've read so far, Yamcha's a genius. Wufei can be unbelievably attractive, I have to admit

Now as for the way I do my links, you're right, it is really simple, but don't feel bad in asking. This is how you do it:

You can use either html or BBCode for the entire thing, but to make things simpler, I use the BBCode.

** where there are { } 's, replace with [ ] (square brackets)**

1. Before I put in the url and title, I input the bold and italics commands - {b}{i}.
2. Then I input the url tag: {url=http://www.blissfulignorance.com}TITLE OF FIC GOES HERE

Going back, this is what I would have so far: {b}{i}{url=http://www.blissfulignorance.com}TITLE OF FIC.

3. So, the third and final step would be to put in the closing tags: {/url}{/i}{/b}

Final product: {b}{i}{url=http://www.blissfulignorance.com}TITLE OF FIC{/url{/i}{/b}

Tada! Or hopefully tada... I'm not so hot with instructions

Hope that helped, and thanks for posting new fics. They'll be keeping me busy for quite a while

* muah *

You're right, raine, South City Midnight Lady had me smiling like an idiot by the end. That Duo... * shakes head * He sure knows how to get you just there, eh?

Thanx for the encouragement and the posting. It's another awesome addition to the thread!

OH THANK YOU SO MUCH NAUS!!! *kisses* *hugs* I had a bit of practice on my last post by using your instructions and

Thank you so much once again, I understood what you wrote so don't worry, your instructions were fine

And I am happy to hear you liked the fics I sent *whew* Good thing with this is that I can just come here when ever I want to read these instead of having piles of different links to them scattered everywhere in my favourites folder

This was a very good idea Naus

I know you have heard that a fair bit already but I hadn't put in my thanks yet lol

Thanks again

*hugs*

I've just added a new favourite story in my favs list at ff.net.

If you sweets haven't read Ain't It Funny, by Yamcha's Big Pants (referred by Neon

), you have got to.

5xR, action, angst, and romance all rolled up into one. It was addictive.

* muah *

p.s. Glad I could help, Neon! Any time...

Blissful Ignorance

A Heero and Relena Dedication site

Hidden Gems

Post and read fanfiction centered around "alternative" GW couplings - like Quatre x Catherine, Duo x Relena, Heero x Hilde, etc. fics
