Author has written 27 stories for Nightmare Before Christmas, Mystical Ninja: Goemon, Mario, Zelda, and Dragon Quest Series.

Hey I am the manga ranga.

I am called that because I am a natural ranga (red hair, pale skin, freckles.. I know in the US they're called gingers but I'm gonna stick with ranga) and I love reading manga and watching anime (as long as it hasn't been raped by English dubbing/translating. You know what I mean! It's been modified to the point you can't recognise the original story).

You can stop reading at this point if you want because it basically explains what most people know about me...

Alright basic profile

Name: Yes... I have a name. But I'll just say Shadow for now.

DOB: 8th September 1989

Gender: Female... isn't that kinda obvious (if you've read my stories/seen my deviantart account)

Occupation: Biology/Sociology student at Uni - aka Mad Scientist in Training

Music: I'm not sure... I just listen to whatever the hell I feel like

Interests: Writing (both fanfics and originals), drawing, cutting up dead stuff, music, bollywood films (awesome Indian flicks), cooking, etc...


Number of fanfics working on at moment - 3

Let's see... I've actually got series of fanfics that go in a certain order so here they are:

Blackwater Series : Follows the story of Lock, Shock and Barrel's new lives with their guardians who were the Original Boogie's Boys (bit of everything) (Nightmare Before Christmas)

The Original Boogie's Boys - Bonus: Solitude, Misadventures of the Blackwater Trio - Midnight Aria - Demon's Secret - Vixen's Curse - Mystery of the Manor - Creation & Creator

Note: You could fit Moonlight Magick into this timeline too (in between Mystery of the Manor and Creation & Creator) but it's more a request story for a good friend of mine

Finished in 2007... and I doubt I'll ever reopen the series.

Ranga Tales : The misadventures of my alter ego and her friends and family in the other worlds. In between throwing worlds into chaos, there's also a psycho trying to slaughter her... so at least it won't get boring... I hope (Humour... I think, well I find it funny) The bulk of it occurs around Halloweentown. Here's the order for it. Also, Ranga's exploits have also occured in original works too, just go to my fictionpress account.

A Misunderstood Christmas Wish - She's Back - Not this again! - Sibling Rivalries are taken too far! - I'm going to kill you! - Hocus Pocus Alakazam! - Dr Dark is a Jerk - That time of the Month - KILL CUPID - Not so perfect - The Finale

Super Mario Plotline - Fallen Star - Twist in Time UPLOADING/Writing

Termina & Hyrule : Stories relating to the connections between the two worlds as well as indiviudals living in them (Legend of Zelda)

Majora's Curse - Shadow's Journey - Bellum's Awakening

Finished in 2009... and I doubt I'll ever reopen the series.

Apprentice Stories : The adventures of the younger members of Halloweentown trying to make it big time.

Warning this is an M series for a reason! It doesn't have rape or sex scenes or anything like that. I just toy with a more... mature look at Halloweentown (has alcohol, swearing, the sorta stuff M rated things normally have) and plays on the idea that it is a town of monsters so humans wouldn't really be welcomed with open arms, would they? If you don't agree with this theory then read something else!

Being an apprentice SUCKS! - Being an apprentice STILL SUCKS! UPLOADING/Writing

Coming Whenever (But aren't linked to anything in particular)

The Girl in the Photo - TNBC - Bit of a tribute to an awesome TNBC fan-artist/writer


I have a habit of recycling characters at times, so please if you read a story and think "Hey didn't (insert name here) have (reference to a different story) happen to them?" dismiss that thought and take the plotline in the spirit of the story you're reading.

And yes... I do reuse names which is really sad and confusing...

I love writing stories in my spare time (so I update whenever I can) and will always complete my stories (eventually, depends on the story, sometimes I get the plot clear, other times I just get the beginning, it's quite random). I know my writing isn't perfect but I'll give it a go anyway because I love doing it. It is actually great therapy!

Please look at my stories (if you feel like it) and respond (everyone probably says that), I'd like to know if anyone likes my stuff and if you don't, tell me where I can improve! If you decide to flame me, I don't really care, everyone's got their own opinion and if you don't like it then that's okay.

Also I exist on deviantart too under the same name so you can check out some of the pics of my original characters if you want. Here are the websites:

http://manga-ranga.deviantart.com : Main drawings (fan art and original stuff)

http://www.fictionpress.com/u/562261/ : Original Stories (stuff from my brain... I don't know if that's a good thing or not)

http://ranga-comics.deviantart.com : Ranga Comics (yes... I do comics too)

MASS DISCLAIMER: As this is nothing more than fanfiction I have no intention of selling or profiting from these works. All canon characters to each series is owned by their own creators/authors. However personal OCs of my own and of fellow fanfic writers belong to their respected owners and cannot be reused unless it has been agreed to by the original author.
