About Me: Female, born in August of 1987 (drink up, me hearties, yo ho!), started writing fanfiction at age 17. Essentially, my alias is just something I completely made up, with no fandom-reference whatsoever.

Will NOT write or even read yaoi/yuri of any kind whatsoever. I might be able to skip over parts containing yaoi/yuri along with the het that I love to read, but if I realize that something I'm reading is just a yaoi/yuri fic, that's when I leave and never come back. Otherwise, I'd just do a lot more flaming. I know what I like to read when I occasionally forage for lemons, and I also refuse to read BDSM scenes, rapefics, bestiality, or other such disturbing content.

When I first came to FanFiction.Net, I was a huge fan of Super Smash Bros. Melee. Not so strong in that fandom anymore, unfortunately.

Essentially, unlike writers of slash/femmeslash and others who butcher the characters of Smashers (Marth/Roy slash writers, those who write Princess Peach to be even ditzier than your average "dumb blond", those who portray Captain Falcon as a perverted moron--why do so many authors in this fanfic community hate him, anyway? etc.), I try to represent every character involved in my stories faithfully to canon (though occasionally playing up a good quality in a favorite character beyond what Nintendo would normally allow). For this reason readers of my stories will never see any twisted-up relationships (maybe plausible non-canon shipping) or characters whose personalities have been butchered beyond recognition--just the pure and simple essence of each Smasher and how I believe he/she would interact with others.

Here are titles and brief summaries of my work:

Survivors' Accounts from the Wormhole Crisis: Four Smashers find themselves in life-threatening danger when a mysterious attacker strings wormholes through the Nintendo universe to warp them into hostile situations. Each gives an account of surviving the crisis.

Courage of the Broken Hearts: A post-Wormhole-Crisis tragedy in which a powerful mage of darkness named Nephorius comes to the Nintendo universe to destroy the Smashers. As one Smasher falls after another, the survivors, broken-hearted as they are, must gather the courage to face Nephorius and defeat him.

The Pink and Powdered Princess: This poem is written on behalf of a Smasher grossly misrepresented in fanfiction.

Bonus Battle Bounty: Peach fights a bonus battle against a formidable opponent.

The Bounty Hunter: This poem could be from the viewpoint of either of two Smashers, but given some of my other work, which one was on my mind when I waxed poetic?

Observations: A Turn of Events: There's something going on at the Smashers' Mansion, as told by many different fighters among them--a different Smasher tells each chapter of the story. Can you guess the identities of all the storytellers?

Discretion is Vital!: An incident of a rather serious nature has occurred at the Smashers' Mansion. The task falls on Zelda to smooth things over, but can she do so--and give the two guilty parties their due--without anybody else finding out? (Reader discretion advised. Rated M for mild-to-moderate sexual content and strong violence.)

I also write fanfiction for Final Fantasy: Crystal Chronicles. Let me introduce you to my motley caravan from Tipa:

Khetala: A Yuke and the daughter of an alchemist, Khetala believes in a prophecy (somewhat to her father's dismay) that states that the "age of darkness" in which the miasma covers the world will not end until "four and others," one from every race at minimum, are able "to forget their eternal conflict and march upon the edge of darkness as one" and is determined to fulfill it. She, like all Yukes, has a certain knack for foreseeing the fates of others around her and knowing the thoughts on her fellow caravanners' minds and the wishes in their hearts. With this understanding, she guides the caravan with a firm but gentle hand.

David: A Clavat (unusually aggressive for someone of his race), a tailor's son, whose tenure as a caravanner is second only to that of Khetala. As he has no patience for learning trade skills, he insists that he will "live and die for the town of Tipa" collecting myrrh on the caravan. On the road, he works hard to keep smooth "going" on the rough road ahead. Quite talkative, he loves to tell stories to his fellow caravanners on the nights at roadside camp. He has a particular fondness for legends and stories of battles, the warriors who fought in them, and the weapons that they wielded.

Lydia: David's sister, three years his junior and the only girl in her family (she has five brothers, including David). She is the most domestic of the caravan, the best at cooking meals and repairing torn clothes and wagon-covers. Like her brother, she harbors a love of myths and legends told over the centuries of history. Like many of the race of Clavats, Lydia dislikes conflict. However, unlike most who dislike the race of Selkies, Lydia loves fellow caravanner Anais Nin like the sister she never had.

Anais Nin: A merchant's daughter, a beautiful lavender-haired and silver-eyed Selkie. In her race's native tongue, her name means "daughter of the revival," and she initially joined the Tipa caravan at the age of fifteen and at Khetala's particular request, for Khetala believed that Anais Nin would have the Selkies' hand in the "revival" of a world free of miasma. Loves to sing and dance, and will frequently lead her fellow caravanners in song. At one point, however, the demon Raem tries to kill her by an unorthodox method--and almost succeeds.

Dimo Nor: A Lilty blacksmith's son, named in memory of a Selkie (name means "he who fears nothing" in the Selkic tongue) who saved his father's life during the old man's days as a caravanner. Having joined the Tipa caravan in the same year as Anais Nin's joining on (only fourteen at the time), Dimo Nor is an accomplished fighter like many of his race, but (probably owing largely to Khetala's influence) he is also very compassionate, described as "a Lilty with a heart of gold" at one point when he defies his race's weakness and revives a fallen fellow caravanner with magic through heart and sheer force of will.

And here are their stories.

How it Came to Pass: The caravanners learn something interesting about the fall of Tida when they stop in Shella for a few days' rest.

What Say You?: Dimo Nor becomes suspicious when Anais Nin teaches Khetala and Lydia to speak Old Selkic. (Response to a challenge by fellow writer SasukeBlade.)

Sorrow and Doubt: At the end of the motley Tipa caravan's eighth year together, when a tragedy shatters the heart of one caravanner and causes another to fear what the future may hold, it's hard to tell which is the unhappier of these two. (Response to a challenge by fellow writer SasukeBlade.)

Aegis: Takes place just a few months before the final assault on Mount Vellenge. On their way to Daemon's Court, Lydia tells her fellow caravanners the story of a sought-after artifact--and unexpectedly gives Khetala a piece of insight into one of Raem's most sinister plans. (Response to a challenge by fellow writer SasukeBlade; ties in with Secrets of the Lost City and Sword of Redemption. Rated T for minor adult themes.)

The Demon Sends His Messengers: An original twist on a familiar tragedy. The demon Raem perceives a growing threat somewhere in the miasma-clouded world--and sends his minions to eliminate it. (Rated T for character death in accordance with canon.) Dedicated to fellow FF.net users SasukeBlade, Ryouka Nocturnal, occultkat, Kirux, Twilight Scribe, and The Trinity Tree, and possibly others, depending on who else has played upon the same muse of inspiration.

Secrets of the Lost City: In quest of a drop of myrrh to herald the end of their fourth year, the Tipa caravan journeys to Rebena Te Ra, and there, thanks to their leader Khetala, they learn several interesting secrets pertaining to events of the past and to what the course of the future holds. (Response to a challenge of my own in my forum The Moogle Nest; ties in with Aegis and Sword of Redemption.)

I Find I'm Not Afraid: Oneshot based on my multi-chapter fic The Great Revival and on a poem from Anais Nin's POV. Takes place post-game and may be considered slightly AU. (A gift-fic for SasukeBlade, rated "M for Mount Kilanda"--see my forum for details.)

Daemon's Court: An informative poem about one of the realm's more intimidating dungeons.

Anais Nin's Lament: A poem from Anais Nin's point of view about the tragedy that shattered her heart.

Mount Kilanda: A bold, poetic declaration by Anais Nin of being unafraid of the great infernal volcano.

March on Mount Vellenge: A poem from all five caravanners' POV's--a rallying cry for any FF:CC gamers planning to make their final stand.

The Great Revival: At last the motley Tipa caravanners have reached Mount Vellenge. When they make their final stand against the source of the miasma, what will be their rewards for conquering the darkness? (Rated T to be on the safe side; rating may change.) Special thanks to fellow writer Twilight Scribe for the inspiration to use "To Whatever End" as a chapter title.

Sword of Redemption: A myrrh tree isn't the only thing the great Iron Giant guards atop fiery Mount Kilanda as the Tipa caravan discovers; there also lies an important artifact that may prove to be vital to the defeat of the demon Raem. There's a story behind the artifact, and only one mortal in the world who can help the legendary fallen one earn back the Lady Mio's good graces. (Crossover-story between Crystal Chronicles and Final Fantasy VII; ties in with oneshots Secrets of the Lost City and Aegis. Rated M for a disturbing painful memory, and possibly for content in later chapters.)

And while I'm on to Final Fantasy VII:

--I've seen Tifa (is it because she's got the curves?) paired by various writers with every man on FFVII's scale of manners-and-refinement from Cid Highwind (the roughneck aviator) to Genesis Rhapsodos (the poetic SOLDIER--thanks for that, fire mystic! I recommend her fics Secrets, Stolen Moments, Sweetest Dreams, and finally Forbidden). And I've seen various writers pair her with every man on the scale of good-and-evil-alignment from Cloud (faved the lovely lemon-fic At Last by dantesdarkqueen) to Sephiroth (faved a steamy-dreamy fic called Extremities by ghost of gene rayburn). Overall, I'm fairly open-minded as to who Tifa can be with (within reason), on the condition that the author/ess writes well and, in the case of pairing her with a not-so-trustworthy man, doesn't treat her too badly.

--As a general rule, I like White Mages, so it's no surprise that Aeris (prefer the 's' instead of the 'th') is one of my fave characters. I can relate to her, her being the generally shy type. As such, I HATE seeing Aeris treated badly (as in, worse than the death-by-Masamune that canonically befalls her--you writers know what I mean) in a fic, even more than I hate seeing Tifa or Yuffie suffer. I like to read of Aeris paired romantically with Zack (obvious basis in canon), but for some reason unknown, I really don't like to see her with Cloud in spite of the "canon" argument I offered for Zack/Aeris.

However...considering what a caring and understanding person the last Cetra is, I am very much a believer that HAD Aeris crossed Sephiroth's path before it became far too late for either of them (or if the Planet somehow intervened), she could've easily been the light to his darkness, maybe even defeated the Calamity from the Skies (the evil, manipulative Jenova) or prevented her from ever taking hold. (Pardon me if I sound Kingdom Hearts-ish there, but that's what I believe and I'm stickin' to it! AeriSeph FTW! Good fics for this one: No Wish to be Alone by Chocobo Goddess and Path of Seduction by Ardwynna Morrigu)

--Yes, I do blame Jenova for a lot of the bad stuff that happens (and hate her guts and curse her name to the bowels of Hell for it) on the forsaken Planet under Shinra's control (and Professor Hojo, for all the lies he told--hate every inch of him too). Just read an item on my favorites list: Mommy Dearest by dantesdarkqueen because she sums it up quite nicely. Those who insist that I'm giving Jenova too much credit here may, in the immortal words of Futurama's Bender, "bite my shiny metal ass!"

--Where the Turks go, I'm a proud Tseng/Elena shipper (I strongly recommend ShinRa Migraine by AmazonTurk and Fantasy Awakening by fire mystic), and I like to see Cissnei with Zack from time to time, if writers don't want to pair Zack with Aeris. Though I did see a good Reno/Cissnei fic...
