☮ I talked to my husband about the header for this journal and he FORGOT about it! LOL Well, he is thinking about finishing it ASAP now. I can't wait until I get it!

☮ I am in the process of adding completed beta work of mine. I ahve one so far, but am waiting on her permission to post. It will be complete with links to the completed fics for your viewing pleasure as well!

☮ I know this month is supposed to be for NaNoWriMo, well, I'm not participating this year. (Maybe I will next year.) But this year, I'm going to try to finish Morrisella. So if you're wanting me to finish it, please push me to finishing it! I can use all the encouragement I can get! ♥

☮ I have a new layout for the journal, courtesy of ribbonized (and yes, I requested it). Please leave your appreciation to her hard work here. (And for those of you who don't know, shindii_ruiizu is me @ my personal LJ.) As a sidenote, I did change a couple of things, but it's all thanks to her! ♥

Time Period: Modern
Challenge: Couples of tibbysdiner
Main Characters: All
Summary: Every couple has their perfect song that describe them. As for the Tibby's Diner crew, it's not as easy. As a challenge for myself, I decided to create song fics for each couple in my RPG on MySpace called Tibby's Diner. Note: All of the following song fics may or may not include Newsies. I still classified this as Newsies for the sheer fact that some of them will include Newsies and the fact that I wrote these for my Newsies MySpace RPG.
Awards: None
Disclaimer: I do not own Newsies, any of the characters of Newsies involved in this fic, or anything to do with the two. Disney does. The only things I own here are the writing, the characterization I created for the characters of modern day Newsies, and a few of the original characters. I will state which original characters belong to who at the beginning of each song fic!
