Yikes! It's been nearly six months since the last time I updated my page. For those of you who actually have kept watch . . . I'm very sorry. I warned you beforehand that I'd be sort of incommunicado for a few months while I worked on my thesis, but I didn't expect to be this incommunicado . . . sorry again. Anyway, my thesis is done! I have graduated from my program, and I and my shiny new masters' degree are off to a real job and a real apartment at last.
Which means three things: a) I'll have time to write again, b) I'll be a little more accessible than I've been (as soon as I relocate and get settled), and c) . . . Mirai's World is closed.
::cringe::
Hang on, hang on! Only temporarily. You see, my current internet access exists through my university, and now that I've graduated, they're going to shut it down soon, the wretches. I will definitely be getting another account somewhere, but until I get settled in and find a new ISP, Mirai's World is going to be a little hard to find. It won't be gone altogether---I've got this Geocities account and an AOL account, and hopefully between the 4 megs I'll have with both, I will be able to put up a streamlined version of Mirai's World. The fanfic archive won't suffer---much---but the image-heavy Character Summaries will have to go for a while.
So this is Mirai's World's new address, for the time being, until I can find a new, permanent, site for it. Be patient; some of the links go to AOL, and may take a little longer to load. My email address will also be changing. You can still reach me at my usual address for a few weeks, but it'll be easier and faster to catch me at NKJem@aol.com since I'll be able to access that from wherever I am (I'll be homeless for a little while, you see), and because my campus email will soon be cut off.
Don't think I've got all bad news for you, though . . . as soon as I get settled in and announce it here, Mirai's World will be open again for new fanfic. When Mirai's World settles into its new permanent home, I'll have two new files posted for those of you fanfic-writing wannabe's out there---a set of "Guidelines for Sending Fanfic to Nora" and a quickie "Guide to Writing Fanfics." What this means is that when I say it's okay, if you've got a fanfic you're just burning to have posted somewhere, you can send your 'fics to me. I'll read them, decide whether they merit space in the Mirai's World Fanfic Archive, and if so, I'll post them here for all to read. Note: if you send me anything before I post a note here saying it's okay to do so, it will be returned to you, unread---or it will be dragged to the cute little icon on my desktop marked "Trash." I don't have time right now to read 'fics, and I don't have a site to post them, and my priority right now is finding a place to live and getting settled into my new job . . . even Dragonball takes a back seat to that.
In the meantime, however, you might want to check out a few of the new links posted in the Fanfic Archive; hopefully you'll find them entertaining. And keep an eye on this page; any new info and updates will be posted here. Have a good summer!
