Dear Captcha:

Anyway, my second accepted short story will be appearing before my first accepted short story and will be out in the Fall 2013 Issue (Issue #11) of Independent Ink Magazine.  You can buy it on amazon for the kindle (whoo hoo!) and the covers are REALLY cool for their magazine (<----the real reason I sent my stuff to them /really is that shallow).  I'll put up links and stuff when it's available if anyone's interested in spending $13 (I guess the subscription is the one that's $2/month, which ends up being $6 since it's quarterly) to see what all my fussing is about.  XD  

I cannot freaking believe this!  Another one of my short stories has been accepted by a magazine!  This is insane and amazing and wonderful and I just don't even know how to handle it.  

Second chapter of the VK web novel is up, along with some news.  Hino was lazy and reused an image from Arc 1 for the cover page of this chapter (interestingly the cover page highlights the only scene in the chapter 2 where Yuuki thinks about Zero, and that scene is about reflecting on the past, so perhaps the image choice wasn't merely laziness). I just skimmed the chapter, but roughly it looks to be a continuation from the previous one.  It's mostly Aidou and Yuuki, with Yuuki wanting to do something for Aidou for helping her with her studies.  

There's a small moment where Yuuki's in bed remembering the time that Aidou came to the Day Class Dorms with her and Zero back in Arc 1, and she reflects on Zero being her enemy a bit and mopes for a little while before she pushes her thoughts of Zero aside, but that's really all that's in the chapter as far as relatively romantic interactions go.  (It is nice that Yuuki's heart clenches when she thinks about no longer living in the same house with Zero; too bad we didn't get more obvious references like that in the manga itself, which might have helped a lot with clarifying Yuuki's feelings in Arc 2.)
