| As much as I dislike the idea, I really have come to the conclusion that ebony_silks has spun its last webs around LJ. It's finally time to declare an official: ~HIATUS~...for an indeterminate period of time. possibly forever but there's still Dokuga so SK fans still thrive in one place! ^^;Thank you all for supporting this comm for so long and I'm sorry I got you guys out of one hiatus only to go into another so soon...but participation is really low - both for writing challenges and for voting - and I don't think there's any point in poking you guys again and again to participate. Thank you for three years we had together! Thank you for making 100+ themes possible - you guys are and will always be the best! ♥ I still can't believe that I managed to run such a successful contest for so long and I'm glad that the Sesshoumaru/Kagome torch continues to burn! It's all that matter anyway! xDD*shoos you off to  dokuga_contest * *smooch* Buh-bye! See ya all around the netz. OH! And... You can defriend but you shall forever remain in the collective memory of this comm! THERE IS NO ESCAPE...NONE I SAY! xDDD | |

| Title: “Just this Once…?”
THEME: “A Memorable Event” --- as inspired by our passing of “Week 100”
Author: Sango Shadowphoenix
Word count: 2700. Clearly, a one-shot.
Rated ‘M’ for “Mature.” Or “Many Explicit Sexual Situations.” Your Pick.
Genre: Lemon. Probably a PWP…?
Universe: Alternate
Disclaimer: InuYasha and its characters belong to Takahashi-sensei. Summary: Kagome’s in a pinch. A pinch she just might as well enjoy. Dedication: I dedicate my first lemon to ebony_silks, because it was the first writing community I joined, has awesome readers and writers and lurkers, and because it does wonders to get my lazy ass back into gear for writing. So, I humbly give to you, ebony_silks, my first lemon. *curtsy* Please be kind and give me pointers~ Hahaha.
No. Seriously. Tear it apart, and don’t be afraid to spit it back at me, despite that it is “a lemon.” (Actually, this goes for all my works!) Warnings: Explicit Sexual Content. Proceed if over 18. If not over 18 --- just don’t let anyone catch you. And if you get caught, be smart and take responsibility for your actions. (For example, blame yourself for proceeding despite the warnings, not the person who’s posting on the internet.) *peace sign* One more A/N: I apologize profusely for the tardiness. And. Despite my best efforts…. I think this might fall into the category of a PWP. *frown* That’s also a first. * * *

| Title: “Forever” is a Fairytale.
Author: Sango Shadowphoenix
Word count: 455 (*does a double-take* Really? I thought I did 1000+ for sure! Lol!)
Rated ‘E’ for Everyone
Universe: Doesn’t make a diff.
Disclaimer: InuYasha and its characters belong to Takahashi-sensei.
Summary: Kagome has faith in Sesshoumaru’s character. Even when Sesshoumaru has good reason not to have faith in himself.
Warnings: I have realised that I have the tendency to be very vague about the plots that I write for ebony_silks (though they are minimal, considering they’re non-related drabbles and one-shots). o.O But I’m hoping “borderline writing-without-plot” is not going to start showing up in my Warnings section. I mean, I eventually reveal what I’m writing about, yes? I think I do. *nervous* …does this count as a warning or an A/N…? (lol)
