| Bakura's Guardian Angel |
Author has written 33 stories for Yu-Gi-Oh. "I write for the same reason I breath...Because if I didn't, I would die." ~Isaac Asmiov Announcements: 11/13/09: Friday the Thirteenth, coolest day of the year...okay...not really. Beside the point. Anyways, so some of you may have noticed (or maybe you just don't really care) that I haven't really been updating or posting anything new. I'm sorry! I've been struggling with where to go on my chapter stories, namely Return With Vengeance because I have a problem. I know where I want it to GO, I just am not sure how to get it there. If any of my RWV readers have any ideas on where you think it could go, I'd love to hear from you, and I'll give you credit for the inspiration if you do. Sparking Hate, my other chapter story, is about half way to an update, meaning I have half of a new chapter written, but quite honestly, I got 3 reviews on my last update and so I'm not eager to be let down again. In other words, I'm pathetic and my lack of reviews is affecting my desire to work on it. And...I'm working on like six oneshots that are all half way done and practically dead because I got a good idea and am having a hard time following up on the backstories and such. I'm working on them, but no guarantees. Anyways, so that was a general update of what's been going on. Hope everyone is having a wonderful November (Turkey Day is coming!!) "Villains are the new heroes. We dress better and are much hotter." If you love all villains and baddies and psychos in fandoms, copy and paste this onto your profile. Updates: Return With Vengeance: Last Update: 8/17/09 Sparking Hate: Last Update: 9/19/09 Captive Soul: Last Update: 6/8/08 "If we had to say what writing is, we would define it, essentially, as an act of courage." ~Cynthia Ozick About The Author Essentially I'm an author at heart. I love nearly all forms of literature from FanFiction to the classics, and can even appreciate a well written essay (although I wouldn't consider that literature). I read and write all genres, although I have a tendency towards angst. I love to bring out the depth of a character's mind in my writings. I want the characters to be real. I absolutely despise fics where everything is perfect because that just isn't how life works. Not that I don't enjoy a good fluffy story sometimes, but I like it to be kept realistic. I also love symbolism and essentially things that make you think and see deeper meaning behind the words that are written. I think it fair to mention now that I am against any and all forms of Yaoi or Yuri when it comes to FanFiction. I am firmly against homosexuality. Granted, I'm certainly not a 'homophobe'. If you want to be attracted to your same gender, that's your life, and I won't judge you for it because I really hate prejudice. The fact remains, I believe it's wrong. I do not support anything save heterosexual relationships at all. Now that that is said, we can move on to more important things, namely, my FanFiction interests. Though as an author and reader I've dabbled in other fandoms (lots of other fandoms), Yu-Gi-Oh! remains my one true fandom at heart and it's the only fandom I create Fanfiction for. This is mostly because of my favorite characters of all time, The Bakurae. Ryou and his darker half, Bakura, are quite easily some of the most intriguing fictional people I've ever come across. There's unexplored depths to each of their characters that not many appreciate or understand. And, though most people fail to recognise it, there is a lot of symbolism between them, which I mentioned I love! Anyways, I'd expand upon all of that, but this isn't a biography of these two most interesting people, and I'd get carried away. Some may consider this whole 'obsession' of sorts with Yu-Gi-Oh! and the characters of it immature, but I'm certainly not ashamed of it. Granted I don't really spout Yu-Gi-Oh! to everyone I meet. In fact, less then half the people I know are even aware that I enjoy anime and manga, and even less know that I'm a seasoned author of Yu-Gi-Oh! fanfiction. So, in a sense, you know me better then they do (but not really!). "Pain is temporary. It may last a minute, or an hour, or a day, or a year, but eventually it will subside and something else will take its place. If I quit, however, it lasts forever." ~Lance Armstrong RECOMMENDATION ALERT! 1) A Single Line by Atomic Lightbulb: This is a minific pool. These minific stories are great, and they're each only one chapter so if you don't have a lot of time but want to read something. They're all way cool ideas. (AL is a superb author, for anyone who cares to know.) 2) The Pharaoh's Corrupting Our Schools by Sour Schuyler: HILARIOUS. Absolutely, friggin' hilarious. I laughed my face off reading it. 3) Ryou's Story by ACE329: Superbly written, and excellent view into the mind of Ryou Bakura. "There is nothing to writing. All you do is sit down at a typewriter and bleed."-Ernest Hemingway | |||||||||
