I'm a big fan of the "Matrix" series (duh!), "A.I., Artificial Intelligence", "Road to Perdition", "Law and Order", "Calvin and Hobbes", etc. so you'll probably see my footprints (read: reviews) in those sections. I've been homeschooled, which was the best way I could be educated since I have a slight LD (dyslexia/dyscalculia) with what appears to be Asperger's Syndrome, and I have to work at my own pace. Also, check out my webdiary at http://www.livejournal.com/users/matrixrefugee/
Fics in a state of being written:
"A Little Child Shall Lead Him" -- I finished writing the whole thing, I just have to post the last two chapters.
"Blood of My Blood" -- "Gattaca" Alternate Universe: Trying to get the proper angsty spirit into it: this is a tough one to write because it's from the Ethan Hawke character's POV and I'm notoriously not too keen on Ethan Hawke. But I've finished writing the last three chapters, so those should appear soon...
"What Can I Do For You?" -- "Touched by an Angel": I wanted to sell this one to Martha Williamson as an episode, but with the folding of "TBAA", I've kinda lost heart writing it. I am trying to get the spirit back...
"Conversations with a Mecha Named Joe" -- "A.I." This is an "anthology" fic, so I'll be adding to it from time to time until I run out of ideas for it.
Ideas I'm poking at:
"Matrix" fics: "Have You Seen Him Whom My Heart Loves?" --Paralell fic to "A Little Child Shall Lead Him": Persephone seeks for the Merv in the rebooted Matrix.
"An Agent, His Lover, Her Husband, and the Twins" -- a black romantic comedy starring Agent Smith, Persephone, the Merovingian, the Twins and Smiths 2 thru 50...
Untitled "Matrix Reloaded" follow-up to "There is NO Pizza!" (current working title is "Zere's a Fly in My Soup!" but that may change) -- Mouse and "The Kid" finagle Ref into helping them test some doctored Matrix code as part of a practical joke -- that goes hopelessly awry!
"Red King Awakened" -- Sequel to "Under the Gun". Ash's now-16 year old son Blaze may be the key to halting a new threat arisen in the Matrix, which could end the peace between man and machine. EDITED 12-16-2006 I've pulled the plug on this fic, since I couldn't come up with a decent plot for it.
Original characters who appear in more than a few of my fics:
"A.I." fics: Cecie Martin -- a young writer who moved to Rouge City looking for inspiration for the morality tales she writes...and who finds a male muse in a certain green-eyed lover-Mecha...
Frank Sweitz -- a slightly daffy young newspaper reporter and Cecie's best male friend.
Halloran "Hal" McGeever -- Frank's not-so-trusty photographer sidekick.
"Matrix" fics: "Ref" -- a young freed-mind who serves as a scavenger for the Zion Archives, gathering information, photos, films, texts, etc. to be archived and used to educate the newly freed.
"Jack" -- Trinity's "uncle", or at least that's what he was when they were both still plugged in.
"Sand" -- Jack's one-time girlfriend.
"Zara" -- an ill-tempered encryption expert.
