Greetings, all!
Well, I've been writing fanfiction for many years now, but have never posted any until now...
My older stories are Pokémon fanfics... I've only posted a couple of them, since only those two were actually successful (and they're quite revised; I actually rewrote 99 percent of each one, so)... But I've also posted a new ficlet, and a sequel (see below):
"Operation Gnome"
"The Secret of Valencia Island"-- Part one of the "Shadow Chip Trilogy."
"Dormant Monsters"-- the sequel to "The Secret of Valencia Island" and Part two of the "Shadow Chip Trilogy".
"Realm of Confusion," the sequel to the previous two Pokémon stories, which I now refer to together as the "Shadow Chip Trilogy." This story will be dedicated to Etherelemental, who is a major contributer to the plotline of the story! In progress... (On partial hiatus; will be updated every now and then)
My more recent stories include fanfics about The Phantom of the Opera and Yu-Gi-Oh! For Phantom, Raoul is my favorite character... I do like the Phantom, but I like Raoul more! So, yes, I support the Raoul & Christine pairing! My Phantom stories are mostly based on the musical, but I have one or two elements of the novel as well. I have since discovered that Phantom stories are incredibly difficult to write, but are equally rewarding when complete. I am open to requests, but Raoul is my favorite, so I request that requests are Raoul-friendly requests. And a slight disclaimer about these stories... the Phantom has repented in my post-musical fics, and he and Raoul are no longer bitter enemies (they're not friends, either, but they're no longer enemies!).
My current Phantom stories (listed in timeline order):
"Whispers of the Forest Elves"-- the beginning of this fic is later in the timeline, but the majority of it is told in retrospect, so I'm placing it here in the timeline; in progress...)
"The Darkness Stirs"-- (On hiatus, but I will eventually return to it)
"A Present for Little Lotte"
"In Search of Answers" (this is the fic that helps explain why Raoul and the Phantom are no longer enemies)
"Coming Back to Paris
"Beneath the Valley"-- This story is finally complete!
"Of Dances and Dreams"
For Yu-Gi-Oh!, my favorite character is Seto Kaiba, and the majority of my stories focus/will focus on him. Seto is my favorite character to write about, I think because of all the different sides to him... and also because I really like his English voice (I really do love the way he was portrayed in the English version)! I have actually taken an Egyptology class, so I have great ideas for a few stories based on Pharaoh's Memory (I take a lot from what I learn in classes for use in stories... and it also explains why I refer to Priest Seto as "Sethos," and Téana as "Túaa" but that's a very long story, and I don't want to bore you with it...). And here, too, I am open for requests, requesting that the requests are Seto-friendly requests. There are a few pairings I support here, one of them being Joey & Mai; I really think those two are perfect for each other, and sometime in the near future, I would love to write a story about them! My favorite Yu-Gi-Oh pairing, though, is Seto & Téa, one of two non-canonical pairings I've come to like (the other is the ancient form of SetoTéa: SethosTúaa). Thanks to LuckyLadybug for making me a believer in the Seto/Téa pairing!
My current Yu-Gi-Oh! stories (listed in timeline order):
Post-series Egypt timeline:
"Erasing the Cartouches"
"The Girl from Ijtahwy"-- This story is in progress... (On partial hiatus; will be updated every now and then)

"The Day the Heavens Opened"
"Arrival of a Memory"
"The Other One Carved in Stone"-- This story has been completed!

"A Light in the Darkness"--sequel to "Neptune's Grasp" and prequel to my poem, "Missing the Lost Conqueror"
"Business as Usual"
"Encountering Memories Along the Way"-- sequel to "A Smile and a Laugh"
"Geheimnisse im Tanzsaal" ("Secrets in the Dance Hall")-- This story is dedicated to a true champion of Yu-Gi-Oh mystery/suspense stories, LuckyLadybug (many thanks to her for inspiring this)! This story is finally complete!
"A Rival's Counsel"
"Believing the Second Guess"

I also have two Kingdom Hearts stories posted:
"Moving on from Here" (KH1)
"Friend of a Friend" (post-KH2)
A quick note about my poetry... Sonnets are my favorite poems to write; if the ones I've written are well-received, I'll gladly write more! I have so many poems posted already, it would make this profile really long if I listed them all, so the summaries of the poems can be found below each individual poem. I have several poems (ranging from Yu-Gi-Oh and Yu-Gi-Oh GX to Phantom and Dance of the Vampires to other fandoms), but here are the ones I'm especially proud of:
"A Walk at Twilight" (Phantom)
"The Choices we Make" (Phantom)
"Into the Sand Dunes" (Yu-Gi-Oh GX)
"A Soul is a Soul" (Tanz der Vampire/Dance of the Vampires)
"An Unweary Traveler" (The Legend of Zelda)
"Parting Wishes" (Yu-Gi-Oh). Dedicated to The Duelist's Heiress
"Sonnets of the Lost" (Yu-Gi-Oh). These poems are dedicated to LuckyLadybug.
"Missing the Lost Conqueror" (Yu-Gi-Oh)
I have since removed one of my poems, "Tenacity," not because I didn't think it was any good, but because it didn't quite fit in with the others.
One last note... kind reviews of my stories and poems are always welcome! I really like knowing what people think about them, but please be a kind critic!
Well, I hope to have more stories/chapters posted soon! It's difficult to find the time to update, but I shall try to have new works written whenever I can.
Thanks,
