Works in Progress

Light from the Netherworlds: A novelization of Xenogears. Huge project. This one scares me. I'm trying to put as much originality in it as possible without altering the plot.

The Last Airbender: A novelization of Avatar: The Last Airbender. This is big and intense, but I shall prevail.

Works Completed

Above Mahanon: A sappy fic written about what almost each XG character did before going to Mahanon.

Hymn of the Reunited Kingdom: Not a fic, but the National Anthem of Gondor and Arnor based on the old Soviet Anthem.

A Freedom Fighter to the End: A one-shot Avatar fic about Jet contemplating on his life just as he's about to die.

Works Deleted

Harry Potter and the Old Alliance: A post-OOTP 7th year fic.I wrote it in 03/04. Yes many people did like it, but after reading through it, I felt my stomach turn at the poor quality of the work. I portrayed the characters terribly. What could've been a great plot turned into crap, I believe. Last time I ever write a Hogwarts fic.

Harry Potter and The Fortress of Shadows: My first Harry Potter fic. It was also 7th year.

A Lesson in Life: One of those 11 walker LOTR "fics". I thought it was ok, but I didn't put enough if any original detail into it and the writing was a bit immature. I was afraid of the readers' opinions at the time so I got rid of it instead of revising it. I regret that.

Favorite Fanfiction.net Authors

Peptuck: AKA the novelization master. Wrote a Final Fantasy VIII novelization which is worth reading even if you didn't play the game. He's now working on a number of other novelizations and fanfics. This man has the potential to be a great science fiction/fantasy author one day. In short: his stories kick all ass. FFVIII fans, read The Gunblade Saga, its sequel Legacy of Chimera, and The Gunblade Saga Reload. Zelda fans, read his Ocarina of Time novelization. You'll freaking be drawn into it even more than you were when playing the game.

Janiqua: Wrote great novelizations for Final Fantasy VII and Final Fantasy X-2 (and I hate game so that's saying something). She possibly wrote the greatest Harry Potter fic I ever read, and is now working on a novelization for Final Fantasy IX. A truly wonderful author. I hope she won't give up fanfiction.

Peter J Marcroft: Wrote an incredible Final Fantasy VII novelization. This man know what a novelization should be. Read Curse of Memory! Ultor commands you!

Griselda Banks: Wrote an amazing Final Fantasy X novelization

DJNS: Wrote kickass fanfics of Avatar. Start with the Avatar and the Firelord, then read all the one shots, and then read Smoke and Mirrors. Read them and enjoy.

thejealousone: When it comes to Harry Potter fanfic writers, this guy is certainly in the top five. In the Words of Ginevra Molly Potter really delves into Ginny's mind and her role in the series. Now he's doing the same kind of fic with Draco Malfoy. You'll need a lot of time to read his work, so do it on a holiday or something. Also, there's nothing better than having a nice cup of tea, or a bottle of beer after a hard day's work, sitting at the comfort of your desk reading his stuff.
