Author has written 26 stories for Final Fantasy X, and Final Fantasy X-2. Welcome! I've been writing fanfiction since the 80s in many fandoms. For the last few years, Final Fantasy X has seized my fanfic muse with a vengeance, and particularly stories involving one or both of the characters in my pen-name. I'm also fond of general fiction and stories bringing to life less-popular characters like Isaaru, Luzzu, Lucil and Elma, even Dona and Barthello. You can follow all my Final Fantasy fanart, fanfic, icons, vids and more FF-related stuff on my AuronLu Livejournal. My current main project is Love Her and Despair, an AU epic adventure posing the question, "What if Yuna had chosen a Final Aeon?" For a movie-trailer style teaser, see the YOUTUBE VIDEO: Lulu's Sin. It includes multiple plot threads and a varied cast: Isaaru, his brothers, and Auron are the main party, but they meet familiar friends and allies along the way, including Yuna's surviving guardians and (eventually) Nooj, Baralai, Gippal and Paine from X-2. I tried to capture everything we loved in the original game: multiple layers of backstory, intertwined plots and intrigue, the flawed politics of Spira, noble yet naive heroes, a tragic love story, tensions between races and factions, magical moments and dramatic battle sequences, friendships and frictions, compelling primary and interesting secondary characters, the beauty of Spira's varied landscapes, and most of all, the enigmatic, cynical, tragic figure of Sir Auron. I've also done a fanvid Crash and Burn, a four-minute tragic exploration of Auron/Lulu... not so much imagining what could have been, as mourning what never could be. I also write yuri. Not often enough, alas, since those fics are often partly based on real life. (So many straight girls write yaoi; I guess I'm somehow balancing out karma by writing het.) On Hold: Lulu's Journal, "Memoirs of a Guardian," an account of Lulu's first pilgrimage. (Link is to illustrated version, not the one posted on FF.net) Just For Fun: FFX Funny Fansub Gallery. From a bootleg Korean copy of FFX with hilarious subtitles that seem to have been (mis)translated into English by the same people who did "ALL YOUR BASE ARE BELONG TO US." For those interested in Auron/Lulu fandom, check out storyless' Aulu Community on LJ, or my own ridiculously exhaustive site, The Auron/Lulu Shrine, LAST MAJOR OVERHAUL/UPDATE: 12/18/08 which features more Auron/Lulu fanart, fanfics, fanvids, cosplay, etc than you'd think possible for such an obscure fandom! | |||||||||||
