I'm Riti the Dragon Knight. Riti for short. The name comes from Lost Ozian's "Scandalicious Princess." It's a shortened version of "Ritiga Lyrufgeo" I liked the name so I shanghaied it with permission. The second half comes from the job class of two of my favorite Final Fantasy Characters, Freya Crescent and Kain Highwind

In no way, am I implying that Fiyero uses spears and impossibly high jumps on his enemies. That would be awesome though.

30 October 2009: I guess most, if not all, my Wicked fics are on an indefinite hiatus. I'm not big on the show anymore, and my writing muse has instead taken up the shapeshifting properties of my art muse (Who still is Fiyero every now and then) but hasn't been Elphie in a long time, instead deciding to ditch the definite gender and is switching between Freya Crescent, Sophie Jenkins, Edward Elric, and a few other characters in my super multi-verse that's in my head. There will be Wicked in one of those stories, which also happens to be the biggest crossover in a single part of the plot. Maybe at some point I'll give my rules in my head and take requests (Only absolute no-no is Harry Potter, which I have a few ideas in my head for, one being set in the new big split from whydoyouneedtoknow's Dangerverse, but are not part of the multiverse.)

1. I only use the portmanteaus when I have to write about the couples in spaces with very limited character count, otherwise, I just write it out in full.

2. I don't write straight happy-fluffy romance. If it seems that way, double-check for the "humor" tag. It should be put first. I'd use parody if it weren't an over-misused title. Even my stories with Romantic sub-text and text-text have a lot of other pieces to it and I won't end them well. Fiyero/Elphaba is a great pairing as-is. It's screwed up no matter how you look at it. And I wish I could hate it for how 90 of its fans and haters see it. In the book, they're together because they're together because Maguire needed to get her to the West because they're together. They have no chemistry and the entrirety of their relationship is Sex that was started because Elphie was curious. And that's why I love to write it. In the musical, even though Schwartz tries to make it seem like love, bear in mind the status of their relationship: He left a fiancee and they had to hide. There's some great chances for Fiyero to go "My God what have I done. Yes, I love you, but I'm a creature of comforts..."

3. I don't read smut. If I filter by all ratings, it's because I suspect my cache to be playing games with me. Nor will I ever write smut. It's not because I prefer to use my imagination, it's because I just don't care how they did it.

4. I tend to not review unless I have something big to say or I can point to something inspiring and/or stands out in either way. If I fav/alert the story without a review, it means it was good/great in a low-key way. I admit it, I have issues with just posting to say "I liked it." I try to be constructive in my glowing love as well as my crit.

5. Member of the BAS: Don't eat the strawberry cake

6. If I rant about something general and it might apply to danderson, it doesn't unless I specifically mention her as an example.

As for stuff about me outside the fanfiction world, all I will say is that I am crazy-in love with traveling and want to go to all seven continents, including and especially Antartica.

Posted Stuff (Complete):

If We Let Them: A thought experiment based on what would have happened if Fiyero had been caught in Elphie's "Do Something" blast of Magic.

Crash: An extended scene from Traitor, specifically the fight he got in that ended up in him getting expelled from his first school, UCE. However, for the most part, I believe it can be understood to an extent without Traitor (All you need to know is that Av's the narrator and servant, and Cropett went to a different school and are a year ahead of Yero)

Fiyero's Quest: A Yero Brick Road story, written before I ever set foot in the Wicked section of FF.Net. I had fun writing it, so it stays, despite being incongruous with my current character understandings of Boq, Fiyero, Elphaba, and pretty much everyone (Based on reading the libretto a dozen times and seeing the play a third, not fanfiction.)

Traitor: The Life and Times of Fiyero Tiggular: Quite possibly the one Yero biography that doesn't play off of lines from Dancing through Life. As well as the only one I've found that starts before Shiz.

So Keep Dancing Through: The bard's classic comedy As You Like It, only set in Oz with some fun twists. Discontinued due to the fact that if you read the comedy mentioned, you know it would be Galinda/Boq. And I don't want to write it because the whole of my feelings for Twilight is that Edward Cullen freaks me out.

A Midevening Confession: Avaric likes a girl, and he doesn't want to keep it secret.

Keeping Safe: An "If Yero Had Lived" that doesn't get fluffy. I try to have some Original Flavor in this and give some justice to Sarima and the non-Nor kids.

Posted Stuff (In Progress):

I Accept Your Proposition: The Wizard orders Dillamond killed before Elphaba shows up. With no Dillamond to be seen, Elphaba doesn't see the maleficence of the Wizard and becomes another unknowing pawn of his in the court. She convinces herself she can do more good pretending to play by his rules and working from the inside than from the out. Also, Fiyero deals with his engagement to Glinda, and how he has to deal with it just as Elphaba shows up, and not in a way that he expected in his wildest dreamings.
