Author has written 25 stories for Kim Possible, Power Rangers, and Misc. Plays/Musicals. xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx SPECIAL NOTICE My writing time is limited at best. Rest assured, I am still outlining future endeavors, including one more 'chRONicles' piece, the sequel to 'MMManiacs, CREEPS, and Smoothies', and the long-awaited 'Robot Pandaroo'. I appreciate my loyal fans (both of you) for your patience, heart-felt support, and understanding. xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Hello... Please allow me to introduce myself. I am The Samurai Crunchbird® (of course, my birth certificate says Thad Marster, but I digress). You may also see the name 'Matthew Shrader' on some of my works. He's my best friend from a long time back. We basically have an understanding...In exchange for buying me the first computer I used for pounding out these stories, he serves as my 'rights agent'. Yes, I know this is Fan Fiction, where we base stories on the ideas of others. Still, any items I create on my own (unique characters, trademarks, etc.) are mine, managed by him. Matt is my agent over the rights to those items in particular. He probably figures when and/or if I 'turn pro', I will already have an agent in place to steer my path and collect his 'cut'. Yes, WE KNOW 'Thad Marster' can be an anagram for 'Matt Shrader'...and it freaks US out, too! xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx For my first entries on this site, I created an epic story arc, 'So the Reality'. In 'StR', various characters from the KP universe were placed into different reality shows and game shows. If you wish to enjoy the entire 'So the Reality' series (ALL rated 'K-Plus')... One, you deserve a medal (or a CAT scan); and Two, be sure to use this chronology to properly appreciate the series as a whole: 'StR: Prologue' Chapter 1 'StR: Amazing Race' (The first chapter of 'StR: Prologue' was written into this tale as part of an 'Interlude' chapter) 'StR: Prologue' Chapter 2 'StR: Fear Factor' (It partially incorporates the corresponding 'Prologue' chapter, but not to its full extent) 'StR: Prologue' Chapter 3 'StR: Fifth Grader' 'StR: Prologue' Chapter 4 'StR: COPS' 'StR: Prologue' Chapter 5 'StR: Judge Judy' 'StR: Epilogue' For those who think the 'StR' series is copying Ran Hakubi's 'The Next Contestant' concept, check my review for Chapter 1 of that tale, along with the first date of publication for 'StR: Amazing Race'. While it seems like a contradiction, I am into writing fan-fiction, NOT plagarism! xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx In short, I write because I like to write!! I like to make folks smile. I like to help them see xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx If you think this is a long bio, consider this...It used to be three times bigger! I thank you for taking the time to read this bio. Your cookies are on the table over there. xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Your friend in writing, The Samurai Crunchbird® | |||||||||
