Posted Fanfictions:

“Meet the Dooms”: A humorous story that my friend and I came up with. Explore the terrors that Shadow encounters when living at home with his crazed parents, Black Doom and Professor Gerald Robotnik! A really fun story to write! Dedicated to Brian, whose fault it is that I will never look at Black Doom the same way again. I've been meaning to finish this story for quite a while and will definitely do so when I get the chance.

“Supporting Me”: One of my favorite stories I’ve ever written. Probably the most serious Sonic story I’ve ever written before.

“Secret Mission”: A quick, humorous one-shot that I wrote one night during Study Hall when I had nothing else to do.

"Ring Around the Rosie": Written for Sonic Fanfiction Contests 2007! A funny story about Shahra and her woes when multiple people find her ring.

"First Blood": A Death Note one-shot that has been sitting in my head for a while. Just my thoughts on what the mindset of Light's first victim was. Turned it in for a Writing Seminar grade; still waiting to hear what my teacher thinks.

"Commencement": Written for one of my English assignments based on a character relationship from Othello. Light is definitely an Iago to me.

Update: February 13th, 2009

Wow. It has definitely been a while since I last went onto Fanfiction.net. I'd like to take the opportunity to apologize to everyone for pretty much dropping off the site last summer and not posting anything in a while. I've been very busy with my first year at college and haven't really had much time to do writing. Truth be told, I've also found it really hard to motivate myself to write any fanfic for a long time. But looking at how long it's been since I've written anything here, I'd like to find the time to roll up my sleeves and make something new for you all to enjoy. Something that is definitely calling my attention is the completion of Meet the Dooms. The way I see it, there's at least four or five chapters left before the story can end, so I'll definitely try to finish with Meet the Dooms as soon as I can. Also, I've removed one of my older stories, "Never Turn Back," because I do not anticipate being able to work on this story anytime soon. I started off on that story when I thought I had something to go with, but ended up losing steam on that project very quickly. Sorry to let down those who have been waiting patiently for an update, but it won't be coming.

On the plus side, though, I've got an excellent idea for a new fanfic involving everyone's favorite fox boy, Tails. For this one, though, I'd really like to wait until it's complete before I start posting, so you may be hearing a bit more about it in the future. In addition to writing something new for Sonic, I'd also like to try and expand my bases in writing for other fandoms as well. I've only written for Sonic and Death Note at this point and would like to be able to write for other games and shows that I really enjoy, like maybe something for Code Geass, Phoenix Wright, Left 4 Dead, or maybe if I'm really ambitious, something for Monster. Maybe these new stories won't come immediately, but I want to start writing again and will update with new stories as soon as they are written.

Sorry for disappearing, everyone, and I look forward to writing more for you all to enjoy! See you around!
