Earisu - FanFiction.Net

I am a fanfic reader since my seventeens, when I was still applying to the university... yet only now, as a grad student, I decided to post my first fanfic here. Mainly because I found out that I do like to write although my English, not being my native language, still needs a good improvement. Well, I tried to write one fic in last summer. I didn't know what to do with it. I decided to upload it here in an act of cheer boldness. I liked the reception. I uploaded more chapters. I changed the rate to M (more freedom of... speech ;) ). Pleased with the outcome of my ever-growing fic, I started to write another one.
Still, the resume is so short...

Note 1: "His Forbidden Queen" has been illustrated! This is a wonderful artwork made by Maudiebeans, a wonderful writer and artist who honored me by giving me this awesome gift :)))) Thank you Maudie!! :))))))
"Lead or Follow", artwork by Maudiebeans
Note 2:It is true that in "Magical Carnival" Judge Magister Basch, after four years impersonating his brother, allowed his hair to grow. As Maudiebeans also made a lovely edition with some official pics, I will now share them for reading reference :)))

Reading Letters, edited by Maudiebeans
Read the following at your own risk:
Fanfictions that I might write, or read and review:Final Fantasy (Square Enix RPG series) and Rurouni Kenshin (Japanese manga and anime). Although I have my own preferences about each game characters or pairings, I love to read a good, well developed plot, especially stories that mix adventure with romance. Utterly sad-but-romantic stories captivate me as well :) As for writing, my imagination takes high flights with Ashelia B'Nargin Dalmasca and Basch Fon Ronsenburg of Final Fantasy XII. It is a bliss for me, whenever I have a bit of free time, not only to write but also to read a good fic about the "Ashe x Basch" pairing, as I am a faithful and die-hard fan of them.
The most alluring themes of the moment (the #1 will never change):
#1: Ashe x Basch(FFXII) stories. The Queen and Her Knight. Together, they won my heart :)
#2: Aoshi x Misao(RK) stories. Because they are so meant to be.
#3: Beatrix of Alexandria(FFIX) tales. Without Steiner, please.
#4: Espers(FFXII) stories. Has anyone else noticed how cool they are?
About Communities: I am currently the manager of Fairytale Spell, a C2 community hosting BaschxAshe fanfics - a place was needed to store all the wonderful fics I have found around here. If you have a shameless adoration for Sir Basch and Lady Ashe and root for a lovely and ohtheyaresorightforeachother relationship between them, and also if you are writing, or planning to write a fanfic about them, feel free to PM me if you are interested in joining the community :)
About "Wars": I have a tendency to be this happy-go-lucky girl always playing around about everything, and the few time I dedicate to this fandom is just for pure fun and also to acquire some writing "skills". It is not usual for me to engage myself in those "shipping wars" - unless someone defies me to - although I find myself so in the mood for some nonsense ramblings when I have the time to do such.
About Feedback: I love feedback... Constructive feedback, reviews, let me know what you think, let me learn from you. Feel free to point out either everything you liked and everything you did not like, in my work but, please, be constructive, polite and mature. Reviews are one of the main things that let me know that my story is being read and that gives me the strength and motivation I need to keep going on :)
About writing in English (or, an advice to my fellow Portuguese people) I strongly encourage everyone to learn English and write your stories in that language for several reasons: (1) in FF world, especially in FFVII, FFX and FFXII, the characters talk in English therefore, I consider that any story written in another language automatically transforms each and every character into an OoC, and hence the story loses part of the "FF essence" that we are all used to; (2) English is an universal language and opens many doors - I know it for a fact. I met wonderful people here, not only by reading their stories but also by interacting in forums and believe me, you will learn to write better if you are willing to make an effort :) ; (3) Learning is hardly a bad thing - and learning an universal language will only improve your bonds between you and the world :)
About Beta Reading: Still following the previous topic, allow me to add that one of the best days I had here in FF, was the day I asked Landis Icelilly for help, right before uploading "His Forbidden Queen" and I only regret not having done it sooner... she is a wonderful friend, brilliant writer (go read her stories, they are lovely and gripping and realistic!) and my awesome beta-reader! I am learning with her a lot :) So thank you my friend, thank you :)
The interesting results of the previous poll:
A little curious about the ones who visit my profile, I posted a little silly poll: Who would take you out on a date?
#1 Basch #2 Balthier/Gabranth #3 Vincent (ranging from FFIV to FFXII).
Another poll is in the air :D You are most welcome to vote :)

Among many more that I am planning... though not writing yet.
And here's my personal opinions about Final Fantasy plus characters in short sentences :)
Favourite games
Final Fantasy VII - Best game ever. Best characters, best villains, hey, best everything. My very first FF game.
Final Fantasy XII - Another best game ever, amazing plot, but needs a sequel, as there was so many unanswered questions...
Chrono Cross - One can lost his way through the story. I like that. I like when I get confused.
Favourite Anime
Rurouni Kenshin - A really cool way to learn history and know more about a foreign culture. Simply amazing.
Characters of all time (in order of "game appearance")
She is General Celes, not an opera floozy!
I love Aerisoptimism when she cheerfully says she will beat Sephiroth and come back thereafter.
Angst and distance only makes Cloud attractive.
Oh Tifa, you kick-ass lady, strong yet kind, brave yet lonely girl.
She has everything she needs to shadow Rinoa, unfortunately, Quistis haven't realised it yet.
I have a spot soft for knights, even if they actually evil sorceresses' hounds like Seifer.
Ever honoured, strong and brave Paladin General, it is a pity Beatrix is not a main character.
Knights, or guardians like Auron, honestly they all allure me.
Being the sky pirate who frequently steals the show, Balthier simply looks stylish doing it.
Strong, intelligent, independent, a heart filled with resolve, Lady Ashe is the princess that any kingdom craves.
Strong, brave, wise and intelligent. The ever faithful, honourable and devoted Sir Basch, to his queen and kingdom.
Favourite pairings
Kain x Rydia - I just loved to see their interaction in the game.
Locke x Celes - They seem to get along, uh, well.
Edgar x Terra - Because she is the only one who doesn't find him "dashing".
Zack x Aeris - Again together, in life beyond death. The magics of first love.
Cloud x Tifa - Childhood love is ever sweet.
Shuyin x Lenne - Angst and love in a beautiful combination.
Aoshi x Misao - He protected her while she looked upon him. And when madness overcame him, she brought him salvation.
Basch x Ashe - He is what she needs, she is what he wants. The former Princess who longs for her Knight, is now a Queen and the dream of a Judge.
