Yo! My name is Autumn (not really but that's what you can call
me and I'll answer with a 'nani?!') and I'm going to gradumatate from
college with a BA in Creative Writing in May. So far, I've only written
Animorphs and Diadem fanfiction, but that's mainly because I got angry
at the way it was written and published and I thought there were more
stories that hadn't been told. In Animorphs, I enjoy the normal
Rachel/Tobias coupling, but I love the Marco/Jake coupling more.
There isn't much in the series to support it, but then, there wasn't
much in the way of romance in Animorphs anyway. In Diadem, I
enjoy all the normal couplings, Score/Helaine, Jenna/Pixel.
Nothing weird like Shannara and Oracle or Shannara and Blink. I
read one story with Score and Oracle and... well that was different but
not really my cup of tea.
I've thought about writing for
other things, like Naruto or Bleach, maybe Yu Yu Hakusho but... I've
never read the manga of any of those, so I feel like I'm not
well-enough informed about the characters and back-story to be able to
write very well about them. I think if you're going to write
fanfiction, it's only fair to the authors of the original stories if
you maintain the character's personality and basic plotline.
Writing a story about Hiei, for instance, being lovable, crying in
public, or generally showing affection for Kurama in any instance is
extremely hard to pull off and stay in character. However, I have
noticed that there is a complete lack of Yuusuke/Koenma fanfiction and,
after reading only a handful of them, I think it's an awesome
couple. So you may be seeing some of that in the future.
There's also a lack of good Iruka/Kakashi fanfiction, so I might do one
or two of those.
As for lemons or graphic sex scenes, I
don't know. I fear my computer will explode of sheer
embarrassment so, you know, for the safety of my computer, I may
refrain from writing those. However, if I get a huge amount of
people reviewing my stories saying, "Wow, this is great but could I get
a sex scene please?" I may give into your sick, perverted need for
erotic stories and write one for you. But only if you're nice.
The
only thing I ask of people who read my stories is this: if you think my
story is good or great, I love the criticism of "wow that was
awesome." However, if you think my story is sucky and horrible, I
also love the criticism of "wow, that sucked." The thing I don't
like about that is when you review with "wow, that sucked, you're a
sick person, how could you write something like this, this makes me
want to vomit!" as some people have said of the Jake and Marco
story. I'll let you know in the summary of my story the coupling
within, if indeed there is a significant coupling. So honestly,
it's your choice to read it. I think that when I do write
couplings that are either graphic or deviant in nature, that I do it
with taste. All I ask is for you to criticize me with
taste. Tell me what you liked, what you didn't like, why you
didn't like it, what worked, what didn't work. I want honesty,
not stupidity or bigoted anger. It's your right not to read
something I wrote, but it's also my right to write it. If you
honestly don't like something I wrote though, honestly tell me why and
without attitude or bigotry. I'll respect you ten times more for
it.
On with the show. (Oh, and if you have a request,
email me and maybe I'll accomodate you. Did I spell that right?)
