Here is the site of the news about this that I got on RT:

HERE is the link to a petition to change this problem. We must take action and fight this, for the world's history is in our hands, and if we let this go and let the detonation of Babylon happen, NO ONE will ever remember Mesopotamia, no one will remember Sumer and no one will EVER remember anything about the world's first great civilization. We MUST remember to care about things, and to make sure that history is preserved!
So, go forth! Here is the site:

UPDATED from March 8, 2012:
Well, I was preparing to write little more for the KHR fandom, but…as it turns out, I changed my mind. I will announce this now:
I WILL NOT BE WRITING KHR FANFICS ANYMORE. I apologize for the inconvenience, everyone, but...I want to tell you all that I am tired, exhausted, and broken from all the overwork with my college and adding writing to this site. It is becoming a chore to write for this fandom, especially since I have been getting reviews like this:
( Stupidity is very stupid. )Thus, good riddance. I used to feel guilty about this fandom, but now? I just hate it. I don’t hate my friends in there, but I do hate getting harassed so often.
Now? I'm thinking of destroying my FF.net account and leaving.

As for Sakura still having the crest worms...this particular Servant would probably have the vial to deworm her permanently...and probably even force the liquid down her throat right away. ^^; Given that he already wouldn't want to be controlled by someone who would place worms into a little girl. The King of Heroes may be very high on pride, but even he would hate the idea of having Zouken or Shinji as his Master.
So far, that's what I have in mind. Thanks for listening to me ramble. ^^;

Joseph Kony is the leader of a child army which means his army is made up of entirely of children. However, there is one thing that stands out about these children. They were abducted from their homes.
- Abducts other children from their beds at NIGHT.
- Female children become SEX SLAVES.
- Male children are given GUNS to kill their own PARENTS.
- Children who live in Uganda live in constant fear of being recruited into the rebel army
- Some children would rather prefer DEATH because of Kony and his rebel army
- Those who resist are killed.
- THESE PEOPLE ARE CHILDREN, people who should be at home, enjoying life with their parents.
Speak up for the children who can't be heard. Show your interest in him being caught because if he isn't, more children will suffer and more will wish for death.
If the people of the United States no longer show any interest in this situation, the United States Government will pull out the support in Uganda for capturing Kony. STOP THIS FROM HAPPENING!

Please check it out and Retweet if you're on Twitter (hashtag #ActAgainstACTA). Here is the shortened link for Twitter -- http://t.co/suHDHx8K
Thank you to everyone on my flist and twitter for talking about this and making us so aware! You guys have really filled my flist with so much information! *massive hugs*
The thing is, I have no one to talk to about one of the stories (Under the Endless Sky) right now other than three other people. One of those people hate KHR and its fandom and tells me constantly to quit writing all the projects altogether, the other two are kinder...but they have both lost interest in the fandom completely and I don't want to continue bothering them about my story anymore all the friggin' time. So...I don't know who to turn to for plotting ideas with and thinking up ways of reinforcing whether the ideas make logical sense. Added to the fact that I don't know if I'm even doing anything right for my story, and the fact that I haven't been able to see any sign of anyone reading my stories (which, to me, seems to say that I'm a bad writer), and it all leads down to me becoming more and more unwilling to continue to write.
So, yeah. Under the Endless Sky, An Unusual Request, 5 Years Difference and Of Dreamers and Men and In Silence will be up much later, but after that and that particular list I placed on Dreamwidth (the one in another entry of mine from earlier) of the things I promised to do, I won't write for KHR anymore. It's such a disappointment that I can no longer stand to look even at the fanfics coming out for it. The thing is, looking at them will only make me want to look at the manga one more time just for it to change a little for the better, and I know that will never happen.
I know that this is a disappointment to all the people who have borne with me the problems of my poor planning and all, so I can only say this: I apologize. I can no longer stay in a fandom that doesn't make any logical sense or have any emotional impact on me. A story that is so shounen-cliched and hackneyed that it doesn't have any set of rules that makes the story compelling can no longer hold my interest, because those are the factors that make the story deeper and more interesting.
My Gmail is qinshihuang.221bc@gmail.com (and you can talk to me on IM via google as well that ways or IM me via AIM from that ID I showed you guys earlier in another entry). I believe you know where to look for me if you need anything and if you feel like talking to me about this.
Sincerely,
Primal Red a.k.a. Teruame

Wikipedia Blackout: Urge Wikipedia To Protest Censorship
Quick request: Wikipedia is considering going dark to protest SOPA and PIPA, the Internet censorship bills.
It'd be huge news, jar rank-and-file Internet users out of complacency, and serve as a turning point in the effort to beat these bills.
Several sites are considering going dark next week -- Reddit's already pledged to do so, but to have the impact it'll take to kill SOPA and PIPA, we need much broader support. A blackout by Wikipedia could be what finally kills these bills.
Will sign you on at right to urge Wikipedia to go on strike to protest censorship? (You'll also generate an email to your lawmakers, with the language at right.)PETITION TO WIKIPEDIA: We encourage Wikipedia to "go dark" to proest the Internet censorship bills pending before Congress. Millions of Americans would take notice, and it could be what finally turns the corner in the fight against SOPA and PIPA.Please sign at right to urge Wikipedia to go dark, and to generate an anti-SOPA/PIPA letter to your lawmakers.

Anyways...here is the first half of the project i wanted to finish. The second half will come this weekend on Sunday, straight in the afternoon.

That's right. Ten Years Earlier, present time Tsuna and Haru. Not much I can do about the later half yet, since I STILL need to perfect and draw out and scan the pictures for that one and paint them and all, but...oh, well.
Here is the first half. Expect them to come in a package together on Sunday at 3:00 to 4:00 PM Pacific Time.
Oh, and...if anyone can't see this so well, go to my dreamwidth account on redfullmoon. It has the entry.
