_UPDATE 11/2/09_

Current Poll:

Anyone else think the Final Fantasy 8 fandom is dying?

Past polls:

What should my next fic be? A romance fic or a new war fic?

Well it was 85 to 15 Warfic to romance fic. So looks like my next fic will be God's Forsaken Land. Check it out.

What would you rather read? Longer chapters every couple of weeks, or shorter chapters every week?

Hey 50/50 split. So i guess that didn't solve anything.

_11/2/09_

No lie my writing is kinda going on and off. Some days all I'll do is write and I'll get a lot of a chapter done, but most days i just don't feel like writing. I'm not saying I'm stopping and I'm not saying I'm taking a break. I'm simply explaining to you that i am not writing as much as i use to. Most now are laughing because it probably doesn't seem like i wrote a lot before either. Trust me i did and now it's slowing down. I'll still update but nothing routine or predictable. Simply when i feel like writing i'll write and sadly that's all there is too it.

Alright so this may just be me but i feel as if Final Fantasy 8 is dying on fanfiction or something. Sure there are good stories around but just seems to be losing lack of interest. I could be completely wrong about this but it's my feeling. So i started a poll and take a vote agreeing or disagreeing. Just wondering what everyone else thinks.

So basicly i am 18 living in upstate central New York. I am a guy. I'm commuting to a college by my house for now and may change in the future. If you know me, which you don't, but if you did you'd know i hate all stuff to do with school and shit. If i didn't have to go to college i wouldn't but i'm basically being forced. So college is a drag except for the parties, if you know me...which you don't, then you'd know i'm Irish and probably love drinking more than anything else. The one thing that is making college bearable. So there's a little big about my current life.

I write in three fandoms. Suikoden (specifically 5) Final Fantasy 8, and Zelda. I feel very comfortable in these three fandoms mainly why it's the only ones i write in. I technically have a story in the Full Metal Alchemist section but it's being co-authored so it's not all on me. So i don't exactly credit that to me writing it. I read fics from quite a bit of fandoms but the main ones i read are all in Final Fantasy 8 and Zelda.

Oh and feel free to send me a PM or an email. I love hearing from you guys and will always respond. So even if you have nothing to really say and just fee like writing me something. Please do.

My priorities...

First Fate Favors The Fearless, yes this story has moved up and taken first priority. Main reason: it's the most popular. It gets double reviews what my other stories get so it's only fair that i concentrate on this one more. Saying that i do love it a lot so this isn't that hard on me to do.

Second:God's Dirty Work has stepped down a place simply because i feel it's losing interest. Not with me, i love this story, but it seems it's losing interest with readers and therefore not going to be on the top of my list. This also goes along with my theory that the entire FF8 section seems to be dying. So I will update this still frequently but FFF is just in front of it.

Third: God's Forsaken Land. This may be third on my list but not far behind GDW. I try and take turns between the two. It seems it's growing more popular so maybe i'll try and update it quicker even.

Forth: Pirate Prince...can't believe i still haven't updated this. Well basically...it's on hiatus i suppose. Didn't plan for it and i'm not really stuck either...i simply just don't feel like writing for it. Sorry simple truth, someday hopefully i will.

Hey i hope if you read one of my stories check the others out. Also be a good person, tell a friend. More readers equals more inspiration which equals more updates which all ends up equalling happier readers.

Mobster Squall

I am currently writing a joint fic with Fantasy Fan Girl. As strange as this might be it's for the Full Metal Alchemist fandom. Something i've never writte in before seeing as i only write for video games. It's an AU story about a psychopath murder that Winry is trying to find. Still there are a couple chapters up already and it's going quite well. You don't even really need to know anything about FMA either. It really is a great story and i strongly suggest you go read it. The link's below.

Dried Blood

Story summeries...

Forgotten Memories: The prince is trying to get on with his life after the tradgic events, it takes place as if you got the bad ending. He is the same nice guy but a few things are differents about him, as if he is more mature. He has been through a war and seen many bad things, he begins to find himself more attached to Miakis, and the story basicly goes around that. COMPLETE

Pirate Prince: The prince (Freyjadour) gets tired of his royal life and decides to runaway. He knows they will look for him and figures he must leave the country. He flees to the Island Nations and some events occur (have to read and find out) causing him to become a pirate. Four years later Miakis hears something that causes her to figure out where the prince might be. As quickly as she can she hurries to find him. The rest of the story just goes around the prince and Miakis.

Bleed It Out: Squall is a badass and Rinoa is a little princess who has never done anything wrong in her life. Rinoa moves to Balamb with her dad and meets Squall who lives across the street. She notices that Squall is hated by a lot of people for acting the way he does, but for some reason he has a tight group of friends that he is always with. These friends don't seem as bad as him and Rinoa tries to figure out if there is more to Squall, does he have a soft side that lets him get close to people. If so, why does she hear all these bad rumours about him and his friends. COMPLETE

God's Dirty Work: This fic is all about Squall and his friends taking the law into their own hands. But really cooler then what that actually implies. There will be action scenes, humor scenes and of course romantic scenes. Also this story could possibly make you think a bit. For why things are done some ways and just some thoughts about religion and how it can really effect our lives. But this isn't some preachy little fic. If you can imagine, it is the cooler side that religion has. Like the Divine Commedy, Dante's Inferno style.

God's Forsaken Land: Yeah i know another religous sounding title but this doesn't really have to do with religion. Esthar and Galbadia's war spills onto the plains of Balamb. Squall is a mysterious master gunblader that is leading a resistance against both countries. Meanwhile Rinoa is a medic that finally gets her chance to go to war. She joins and elite team that only has one goal. Kill Squall Leonhart.

Fate Favours the Fearless: It takes place in the Twilight Princess' setting. Link is from Ordon which is hated by the rest of hyrule. What starts off on a unwanted goat delivery to Castle Town turns into a spiral of events that grabs hold of Link and thrusts him into an epic adventure. With much fighting, some humor, and of course love. (i'm a sappy guy what can i say)

Fire Drill: this was a challenge fic that Fantasy Fan Girl told me to do. I had to include a couple things in it and it had to do with a Fire Drill. Story wise i have Rinoa accusing Squall of kissing another girl. Things happen as expected. It's OOC but good nevertheless. ONE-SHOT

Crazy Day at The Office: Its just a little humourish, fluffly Squall X Rinoa which seems to be the best combination for oneshots apparently. Takes about five minutes too read and since i fixed Rinoa's name it can actually be read without ignoring a main characters name. So give it a try, i'd love a review even if its years later. ONE-SHOT

No More: The summary is below so no need to repeat that. But basically its about how a relationship can be stuck in the "friend zone" until certain events occur. Its a longer than usual one-shot but thats just because i can't limit myself. I hope you check it out as just a for one of those sweet quick fics. ONE-SHOT
