Author has written 50 stories for Pokemon, Phantom of the Opera, Yu-Gi-Oh, Kingdom Hearts, Misc. Plays/Musicals, Legend of Zelda, Viva Pi, Yu-Gi-Oh GX, Cats, and Perfect Strangers. Greetings, all! Well, I've been writing fanfiction for many years now, and here are my latest works... Most of my fanfics can be found here, but I do have a few blurbs, musings, and fics that are available only on my LiveJournal account. My writing mainly focuses on friendships rather than romantic relationships. Also, I will write a lot of suspense, angst, hurt/comfort, etc in my fics, but there'll always be a happy ending for those deserving of one. A full list of fic tidbits and quirks can be found here: http://rose-of-pollux.livejournal.com/51295.html Note-- I haven't abandoned any fics on this site; I'm just a bit caught up with work, as well as my rediscovery of the wonderful old geography game show, Where in the World is Carmen Sandiego?. I will admit that what little fic time I have is right now being devoted to the Carmen Sandiego fandom, but in a few weeks, I hope to have updates of several fics I've left on hiatus here, including "Eine Mitternachtsstimme," "Whispers of the Forest Elves," "The Jackal Howls at Midnight," "Realm of Confusion," and "The Girl from Ijtahwy," along with a oneshot or two. In the meantime, feel free to check out my Carmen Sandiego fics on my LiveJournal (the homepage link on my profile)! My older stories posted here 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. My more recent stories on here 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. And a slight disclaimer about these stories... Erik 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!). For Yu-Gi-Oh!, my favorite character is Seto Kaiba, and the majority of my stories here 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...). 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 Seto/Téa: Sethos/Túaa). Thanks to LuckyLadybug for making me a believer in the Seto/Téa pairing! (P.S. You'll be finding more friendships in my fics than romance, anyway. XD) I also have two Kingdom Hearts stories posted. I hope to write more of these, as well as possibly dabble in some Final Fantasy VII and X/X-2 fics. Other future plans I have are to update my on-hiatus fics, as well as venture into some other fandoms... 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! 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, Crystal Rose of Pollux | |||||||
