Hello Fanfiction.net people.

My name is Trades46, and after learning about fanfic.net for around 6 years, i finally created an account.

About me:

I love anime/manga and cars. These 2 things pretty much dictate my life.
You can make the connection that Initial D & Wangan Midnight are one of my favorites, but I rather have a distaste of itashas.

I'm a big fan of several notable video game series:

I'm a huge fan of each iteration of Ace Combat:

-Scarface, Galm, Mobius, Wardog/Razgriz, Garuda, Warwolf; you guys are all awesome.

Gran Turismo 1-4 is something I still often play, and I would play 5 given a PS3. Need for Speed titles go hand in hand here.

-I love GT-Rs, but if they only had Porsche in GT. I often pick Japanese tuner and European exotic cars over American muscles.

Fire Emblem 6-10 are still my favorites to this day.

-Roy, Hector, Ephraim, Ike and several other minor characters in each series gets special mentions.

Touhou is cool: I love the music, but I can't beat the games.

-I don't know much of the characters past the 10th game, but given Gensokyo's population size...

Sky Crawlers is a great movie. Innocent Aces is even better.

-Brings a whole new meaning of 'getting schooled' XD. The Sanka Mk. B looks amazing.

Notable anime/manga series (by no means complete):

Steins;Gate really re-defines the cookie-cutter plots of the last couple of years. This must be the doing of the Steins;Gate!

Mahou Shoujo Madoka Magica: Magic girls hasn't been this epic since Nanoha finished...contract?

Lyrical Nanoha/A's/Strikers: Magical girls with Gundam-style armaments. What's not there to like? *Eats Starlight breaker for horrible pun*

Idolm@ster: Since I have no access to the games, this was the second best thing to do. Great series with likeable cast. Favs: Chihaya, Takane and Makoto.

Initial D/Wangan Midnight: What can I say?

Black Cat: Still one of my most memorable series to date. The manga though; the anime somewhat 'Train-wrecked' 1/2 way through. (Shot by rail-gun for pun)

Fate/Stay Night: Watched this way way way back. Forgot already what the story was about already; stopping me from going onto Fate: Zero.

Code Geass: Finished only the 1st season. Good friend of mine ruined it for me in 2nd season. *Geass to watch season 2*

Sola: The premises was good...I felt that the conclusion felt...off to me.

Grenadier: Putting aside the reload sequence fan-service, the overall story was pretty good. I was disappointed that the manga plot was dropped.

True story:

When I was planning to make an account in the December 2012, FF bounced my request claiming that my email was already registered.

I thought someone accidentally used my email for their own account. I clicked forget password and resetting the account using email.

After logging in, I took a look at my username and activity.

Then I remembered I had created this account in the summer of 2007...

...just to favorite one particular story. You know who you are.

I had forgotten about this account for 5 years...

Time flies quick when you aren't paying attention.

Current projects:

Silverhawk Aces: On-hold (Through Revision considered)

This is my first ever fanfic I posted onto the website with the encouragement of my sister.

This series focuses on the Dariusburst game released by Taito in 2009 on the PSP. (I played G-Darius, the previous installment) Due to the lack of information of the game in English however, there could be some errors when compared to the original plot. I apologize to those who played the game or can understand Japanese in advance.
However, the Silverhawk design is just too cool for me not to make connections between it and another favorite air combat series, Namco-Bandai 'Ace Combat'. I'm trying to give a AC style of plot delivery using the Dariusburst story as a base.

The back-story is covered in the prologue section.

As this is my first series I have enough courage to post, please leave comments and remarks. I have little experience in writing these things, but it's a habit I started thanks to my secondary school's 'Writer's Guild'.

Update Jan 20: Getting a writer's block for this particular story at the moment; a throughout revision is being considered.

765th Squadron: Completed

This idea actually came up quite a while ago when I was playing AC non-stop and before I even started writing Silverhawk Aces.

Then I discovered the Idolm@ster variants fighters...It also doesn't help that I'm a HUGE Chihaya fan.

I wasn't able to get them off my head for a couple of days, then after reading a fanfic in the x-over section where Lt. Hagiwara was mentioned...my mind stared to instantly piece together this little composition.

Under the Grace of the moon: Completed

A test of what my writing would be like in a racing series. Also this doubles as a response fic to StormRex Lancer's own particular story.

Note that I don't even know StormRex Lancer's OC(s) nor story, so I'll just keep this as a 'what-if' scenario.

Plus, I find myself writing about 765's Silver Queen...

Update May 11th:

Just put my stories on hold for foreseeable future. A lack of inspiration and ever changing feelings to my own work made me unsure of my future on FF.net

Other notes:

Yes, there are a couple of series I know so well I often quote them in everyday use. Honourable mentions go to Ace Combat, Gears of War (courtesy of my sister), and several quotes from Command & Conquer.

I'm ok with Vocaloids, but sorry Miku fans...I hate her.
I despise her obnoxiously annoying voice. Her character design is nice...but that voice...ugh.
I don't understand why anyone can like that ear-rattling voice. I just don't...

Thanks for reading!
