I enjoy writing, drawing, and reading as my hobbies. Most of the literature-related stuff occurs on fanfiction, since I don't find many new books that I like. I also like watching various anime/tv programmes, and the occasional film. I very much enjoy Doctor Who, though I prefer the revived series to the old series.

I do rather like yaoi, and some of my stories may feature it, but for those of you who don't share my views...simply don't read the relevant stories.

I've initiated the biggest clearout I've ever initiated. Several stories will be deleted, and currently no one has my permission to adopt any of them. I'm sorry for anyone who is upset to see them go, but I feel that I have to progress my writing style and remove the fanfictions which have little chance of ever being updated.

And here is the clear-out information:

The stories which will be deleted are:
Shadow on the Mind: A Chosen Fate -
Category: Pokemon
Comments: Marked for deletion due to unrealistic plot, overusage of clichés, and general crapness in my eyes. This will definitely be removed, and that is not up for negotiation.

Dramatic Irony-
Category: Naruto/Harry Potter crossover
Comments: I've discovered that writing this kind of crossover doesn't work for me. Dramatic Irony was my second attempt, and will probably be my last. Apologies. It is saved to my disk in case I need it again.

Dreamer-
Category: Avatar: The Last Airbender
Comments: Generally, this one fails to interest me at all anymore. Even the concept of rewriting doesn't seem possible. Goodbye, Dreamer.

Kindle-
Category: Naruto
Comments: It has remained dormant for a long time while I've tried to regain my capacity for writing it. Unfortunately, it's too unrealistic, the plot is too flawed, and I can't read it without feeling ill at how terrible it is. Unrealistic to the extreme and completely dead to my inspiration, it has to go.

Morphelines: Demons of the Night-
Category: Warriors
Comments: Frankly, the only reason it has been around so long is because I considered it a relic of my early times with fanfiction. I've come to realise that The Cat Hybrid is more than sufficient for this, and is the only one of the two with even a chance of being rewritten. MDOTN is going to be removed, though saved to my documents.

Quoth the Raven-
Category: Teen Titans
Comments: Whenever I think about updating this, the only response I get is no. I have no opinion on it, really, aside from my assessment of it as unrealistic, poor in quality, and all in all something I don't want left among my favourites.

The Fair Folk-
Category: Harry Potter
Comments: It was a nice concept, but the plot led nowhere. I had no idea what the long term events would be when I wrote it. The Fair Folk has nowhere to go now, except the digital bin.

The Wild Child-
Category: Harry Potter
Comments: My reasons for deleting this can be cloned from the comments of the one above, plus a remark about the terrible grammar. Just...no, it will not survive. I already have a more recent version of these two plots, modified and being prewritten now. And I like it a whole lot more.

So, those are the stories marked for deletion. It's a lot, I know, and I'll certainly have very few stories once I'm done. But I'll build up again, with better fanfictions in their place. It's better to have a small amount of stories to work with, anyway. It means more updates. That's eight stories to be removed...whoo, cleanout indeed. Alerts will be sent in the form of updates to all of those stories, a week before they will be deleted. I'll leave this post up for a while after, in case anyone for some reason would like me to resubmit the stories with my other account, so they are still available to read.

Also, several stories are marked for something else. Either because I'm fond of them, and don't want to let them go, or because I simply like the idea and would like to use it, several stories wil be rewritten. Here is a list of the ones marked for rewrite:

Even the Strongest-
Category: Avatar: The Last Airbender
Comments: I like the idea, I don't like the way the idea turned out. Thus, change. This will probably be the most frequently updated rewrite, as I have the most inspiration for it.

Shattered Reef-
Category: Eragon
Comments: I've clung to this idea ever since I submitted it, one of the first fanfictions I ever wrote. Despite its shortness, I consider it one of the better of my early stories, and would like one day to progress it. This will not come quickly at all.

The Cat Hybrid-
Category: Warriors
Comments: Well, this is the relic I'm most fond of. I devoted so much to it early in my 'career' on fanfiction that I can't bear to just get rid of it, and...well...seriously, look at it. It has to be the most craply written thing in my stories that isn't marked for deletion. It will require the most work of all my stories, for several reasons. Firstly, there are so many mary-sues and general realism errors that I practically have to change the entire plot. Secondly...have you seen the size of that thing? It's easily the longest story I've ever written. This will be extremely slow to rewrite.

Requiem-
Category: Naruto
Comments: Requiem is one of the few of my stories which I treasure, but I have noticed glaring factors which I would like to change. It isn't a major revision--most likely, I will replace the old chapters with the new ones and post an alert requesting that readers re-read the story and note the changes.

And that's the stories under revision. Only four.

The other stories not mentioned are either oneshots, or considered still active/pending. Please be aware that I have a life outside fanfiction, and am not always able to write much in my time constraints. The alerts for all these things probably won't happen very soon, and there's still a very decent time before anything is deleted/replaced.

As for the new generation of my stories, I have several ideas, some of which already have a little written of them.

1) Deus Mortalitas
Category: Harry Potter
Plot: If Harry had been given much harsher treatment at the Dursleys, what would have become of him? No one is born evil. Few people notice when they go insane. And it rarely, if ever, happens spontaneously. This is the story of how a terrified child grew powerful, so no one could ever hurt him again. Would contain Slytherin!Harry, Dark!Harry, and Strong!Harry. My attempt at a realistic Dark Lord Potter story, and I'll get it out eventually.

2) Black Cat of the World
Category: Harry Potter
Plot: Most cat lovers have heard the speculations about cats and their 'rule-the-world' campaign. What if it were true? What if a burst of accidental magic had young Harry as a black kitten in the midst of the feline plots? This is not really meant to be taken seriously, but is an amusement. Some of it has already been written.

3) The Origins of House Elves
Category: Harry Potter/Lord of the Rings crossover
Plot: Dobby, after being freed, was astounded. No one had shown so much helpfulness to the elves in years! And certainly not a Great and Powerful wizard like Harry Potter! He takes his news to the eldest elf alive, who is very much interested. Perhaps, after so many years, they have finally found one strong and kind enough to set them free...
My attempt at a LOTR/HP crossover, because-no offense--I've only read one or two that are remotely realistic. Nothing of this idea has been written yet, unlike 1 and 2.

4) For the Future
Category: Avatar: The Last Airbender
Plot: At Sozin's Comet, Aang failed to conquer Ozai's spirit. Twenty-two years later, the world is ruined, and the only way to go is back. Time travel. I'm particularly pleased with this one. With luck, it will be published.
