Some Update Stuff You Might Wanna Read...

For October 10th, Year of the Melodious Nocturne

Woohoo! I finally got chapter 22 of "XIII Replacement" finished and posted. Do go read it and enjoy.

As a side note, I've been pushing myself to generally write more and I've been getting some ideas that may, eventually, see the light of day. I REALLY want to do something for inFamous that doesn't completely suck and given my obsession for Avatar as of late it's possible that I might write for that. But of course I still plan on re-writing the mythical 2nd chapter of "Don't Be Mad" so that it's tolerable to my eyes. Now all I need is to force myself to make time for all these "projects" while keeping on top of schoolwork...and playing video games and reading and goofing off (I like doing that) and memorizing lines for a play and OOOO MY BIRTHDAY'S COMING UP and...

I sound busier than I really am, don't I? ANYWAY, I might be overhauling my profile soon too. Yeah...that's a possibility.

Now skip all the rest of this junk and go read my actual work. XP

--A little bit about me--

At heart, I am a writer and full-time gaming nerd. As a very loyal Kingdom Hearts fan, that's the basis for most of my writing, especially stuff pertaining to the Organization. Other than that, I like music (what kid my age doesn't, I wonder?), movies, fictional characters and devouring vast amounts of reading material. If I don't review a whole lot, my apologies, but I'm quite lazy about that. And, heh, that's me.

Now a list of some of my favourite things that no one cares about:

Favourite Bands/Musicians: No Doubt, Madness, Finger Eleven, Queen (no, seriously), Pink, Vanessa Carlton, Barenaked Ladies
Favourite Song Ever: "Spiderwebs" by No Doubt
Favourite Game Developers: Sucker Punch Productions, Square Enix, Insomniac
Favourite Video Game Character of All Time: Demyx from Kingdom Hearts II
Favourite Mythological Creatures: Dragons, Elves and Phoenixes
Favourite Book Series: The Chronicles of the Imaginarium Geographica by James A. Owen

Quote of the Week:

"I don't need any calming tea!" Zuko, Avatar: The Last Airbender (book one)

And now a brief rundown of all my published stories, be they in the works or completed. Someday I'll have to figure out an order to put these in...alphabetical by fandom, perhaps? But until then I just stuck Kingdom Hearts first and stories in order published. I...think that's how I did it. Then whatever other fandoms I've written for, which is just Crash Bandicoot at the moment. (This spell check fails. "Bandicoot" is a real animal, ya know. Stop red-underlining it! Yes, I am slightly mad in the British sense. The spell check just pisses me off)

Hopefully something will pique you interest :)

XIII Replacement--Kingdom Hearts

Status: In progress (Top Priority)
Genre: Friendship/General
Characters Involved: Organization XIII (excluding Roxas and Xion), Riku and Sora (cameos in chapter 3)
Original Characters/Places: Risk (character), Wind City (place)
Other Notable Tidbits of Info: An old idea I've managed to keep alive for myself, "XIII Replacement" is essentially the chronicles of Risk's time in Organization XIII to replace the now "whole" and absent Roxas. Title speaks for itself, doesn't it?

Sakura--Kingdom Hearts

Status: Complete (one-shot)
Genre: Romance/Humour
Characters Involved: Axel, Larxene, Demyx and Xigbar
Original Character/Places: None
Other Notable Tidbits of Info: I wrote most of this in the space of one morning. But hey, y'know, mornings last for a good bit of time. This was my first straight-out Larxel (that's AxelxLarxene, for those who aren't aware) and also my first romance. Writing for one of my favourite shippings was quite fun. I should indulge myself in it again sometime.

After the Storm--Kingdom Hearts

Status: Complete (drabble)
Genre: Tragedy
Characters Involved: Kairi, Riku and Sora...sort of. You'll see.
Original Characters/Places: None
Other Notable Tidbits of Info: Ah, my very first tragedy. I love doing tragic stuff when I'm in the right mood.

Don't Be Mad--Kingdom Hearts

Status: In progress (slowly. Think turtle crawling through tar)
Genre: General at the moment
Characters Involved: Demyx
Original Characters/Places: None
Other Notable Tidbits of Info: Okay, so here's the thing: This is supposed to be continued some day (chapter 2 is in ruins in a file...somewhere) and is not a one-shot however it may seem. I have, what I believe, to be a fairly good plot in mind but...well...with "XIII Replacement" in the works and so many other ideas clanking around in my head, I rarely work on it. My poor, all-but-abandoned fic. Someday, it will rise again to give birth to a whole new story. But until that day comes, "Don't Be Mad" sleeps, like a forgotten phoenix resting in ashes. Or something like that.

The Iceberg Lab Mishap--Crash Bandicoot

Status: Complete (one-shot)
Genre: Humour
Characters Involved: Dr. Cortex, Nina Cortex, N. Gin, Dingodile, Pinstripe, Tiny and Ripper Roo
Original Characters/Places: None
Other Notable Tidbits of Info: As a very first attempt at fan fiction of any sort (and actually WRITING of any sort apart from school assignments and a few lame original works many years ago) this I now consider quite low on the standard totem pole I've erected for myself. But apparently it's funny, which I think was the idea. Man, how I loved Dr. Cortex and Nina when I wrote this. It's gotta be...what, two years since I wrote this? I've grown a lot since then. Anyhow, read at your own risk.

If one person enjoys my writing, I've done my job.
