About the Author

I love the Legend of Zelda series and am quite the fan. I have one other account on a different website. (above) On Deviantart I have a little story up (my first one) but I don't want to post it on fanfiction because it isn't really all that great. I think of it like a practice. I just got my scanner fixed so I'll be able to post some pictures up. I always listen to music whenever I'm writing (or on the computer in general) and I'm also in love with Trauma Center! Nothing like a good old surgery to finish the day huh?

Forgive me for not updating as often as others but, as surprising as it may be, I actually do have a life. I do two major sports, soccer and basketball. My family and I travel a lot, which are times where I enjoy breaks from writing because it is always good to have some relaxing time.

Upcoming/Possible Stories:

(Note: the stories listed below are still being planned, so events may change from what is described. Also, no stealing of ideas is allowed. Thank you.)

Seven Years: At the age of fifteen, Link and Zelda, best friends, discover that Link has the ability to travel through time. Three months later, Link tries to go to the future rather than the past. Something goes completely wrong, however, when he finds himself seven years into the future and can't get back to his original time. As he struggles to find the power within to return home, he meets an older version of Zelda. She tells him that he was missing for seven years and labeled dead. Not only that, but Zelda's own life took a turn for the worst after his "death". Once the top of her class, Zelda is now a highschool dropout, working at a bar, and engaged to the old high school jock Marth. Link is now trying everything possible to fix all of it while trying to return home. Modern Day Hyrule, AU, ZeLink

Change: To everybody in school, Link is the champion, but for all the wrong reasons. He drag races to earn money and steals if need be. His mother is dying and he always attempts to smuggle medication out of pharmacies. One night, after a fatal crash during a dangerous car race, he meets somebody who will turn his life around: Zelda. She's rich and beautiful, what more could a guy want? She offers to help him and his ailing mother, but he constantly pushes her away. He doesn't want her pity, but how much will she go to help the stranger? Modern Day Hyrule, AU, ZeLink

About My Stories:

About Shattered Lives: Zelda is forced to live with Ganondorf, her abusive and cruel guardian. In order to be free of him, she must find the wielder of the triforce. However, when she moves to a new town she finds it a lot harder when a certain boy gets in the way. Modern day Hyrule – Zelink.

I have a number of inspirational sources for this one. One was from Legend of Zelda 4 Life's story called The Puppet and another was Canada Cowboy's story The World's Greatest Uncle Two. Those two stories helped me a lot with the characters: LoZ4L's story for Ganondorf and CC's story for Zelda. Also, the amazing classic disney movie "Hercules" (one of my favorites) really helped with the plot. For anybody that has seen or is going to see it, notice Meg and Hades' relationship, which is similar to Zelda and Ganondorf's.

About Farore's Love: Summary The untold story of what really happened to the goddesses. When Farore breaks the most sacred code of all and falls in love with a human the consequences may be too much to bare.

I got the idea for this story when I was thinking of how many times there are those love stories about a princess (or prince) and a common kid falling in love. Each time the couple are always saying of how they can never be together and that it is against the rules. Well I thought that it would be even harder if a goddess or god fell in love with a human. Once that idea came into my head the rest pretty much came upon me on its own. (Though with a LOT of difficulty -_-)

About She Will Be Loved Summary: A long one-shot based off of the song "She Will Be Loved" by Maroon 5. Zelda and Link are best friends and Link always helps her every time one of her relationships goes bad. He keeps helping her because he secretly loves her, but its time to let it out.

This is a slightly different version of a songfic with the song "She Will Be Loved" by Maroon Five. I used the main theme for the song which is about two best friends and the girl is always getting in and out of bad relationships while the boy is always there to help her because he secretly loves her. It is pretty obvious that I used this theme for the story's with my own special twists. I use lots of lines from the song to help with the plot and dialogue.

Writing Tips:

1) Re-read everything you plan on posting! It is required on FanFiction and nobody wants to read something full of careless errors and nonsense sentences. It isn't only for grammar, you might also realize you've forgotten something important or change an awkward phrase.

2) Listen to your reviewers. Some may just say simple things like "I love this story" or "Keep writing" while others might actually take the time to try to help improve your writing skills. Do not ignore them! Carefully consider what they think should be changed or improved upon so you can help yourself and please more readers. You may disagree with something that he or she has said, but use an open mind. Although it hurts, you must accept the truth and the possibility that you are wrong. I'm not saying that all critics are correct, but you should always consider what they are saying. After all, a story's motivation and love comes from the reviewers!

3) Read often. Whether it is a published book or something online, I highly suggest you read and observe the styles of writing. Of course, online text doesn't have an editor to help them so try finding a more popular story. By reading it and discovering what makes it so popular can help you with your own writing. Perhaps they use more description or the dialogue is more engaging. I believe, when trying to learn, reading a published book would help more because...well...it is officially published with an editor and everything. Comparing your own pieces with another can show you what you might be doing wrong, such as lack of fluency or emotions in characters. This also goes for grammatical errors. You'll find that the popular online pieces and published stories don't use abbreviations such as "r" or "w/" or "ur." Write out everything, english please! (unless you speak a different language.)

Games Played:

Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess, Ocarina of Time, Majora's Mask, Minish Cap, Wind Waker, and Four Sword Adventure.

Trauma Center: Second Opinion and New Blood and UTK2

Super Smash Brothers: All

Professor Layton: Curious Village and Diabolical Box

Parings:

For Legend of Zelda I like Zelda and Link the best but in Twilight Princess I make an exception and do Midna and Link because I didn't really see much "bonding" between Link and Zelda that game. Midna and Link seemed to be a lot closer than I would've thought. Though I don't have anything against Zelink lovers in that game (or Zelda herself because she does rule.)

I'm a FarorexJack fan, XD.

For Trauma Center I am Derek and Angie all the way! They are the cutest couple!

For Professor Layton I like FloraxLuke, though not heavily because they are still kids, haha.
