Author has written 20 stories for Ninja Turtles, and Death Note. Hey there! If you're reading this, you must like my stuff enough to give a damn, so here goes: The name's Ash, but some choose to call me Willow, and I'm 21 years old. I'm outspoken, brutally honest, and a perfectionist who takes herself far too seriously. I love TMNT more than most sane people should and have come to love the fandom just as strongly. I grew up with the show and instantly fell in love with the issues of nature vs. nurture, acceptance, the strength of family, and the evils of human nature it raises. Hellboy, Death Note, Fullmetal Alchemist, Ruroni Kenshin, X-men, Deadpool, and Watchmen are other loves of mine. I'm a shameless angst addict. It's my passion and my crack. My fics tend to lean toward the angst/drama side with a bit of action sprinkled in. I adore character study and heavy, complex plots. I find science fiction, spirituality, blood and gore utterly fascinating. I'm extremely picky with the fic I read. Badfic strikes both terror and disgust in me, along with a strange sense of amusement. I always try to offer concrit to fics with good potential. Do not feel offended if I offer you advice. It simply means that I believe you can do better and your work is worth improving. Whether you take it to heart is up to you. If you're looking for goodfic, I'm very frugal with my favorites button. I only tend to favorite well-written fics that have left a powerful lasting impression. Check it out, you won't be disappointed. Also, if you read my fics, don't be afraid to drop in a review! I LIVE for concrit, and will most likely take whatever advice you have to offer. Flames are also whole-heartedly accepted. People are fully entitled to speak their minds and will be admired for doing so. Though flames hurt the heart, they strengthen the soul. I write fanfiction not only because I adore creative writing, but because I'm determined to better my writing skill. Any thoughts are more than welcome. 2008 Fanfic Awards: Honestly, I was completely blown away by the number of nominations and awards I received this year. Like, whoa! Thanks to you guys, you're looking at 2008's Best New Author! Lots of love to you all! Other awards: Invincible: 1st place Best Raphael Scene, 2nd place Best Drama War of the Shadows/ Proving the Light: 2nd place Best Series Until the End of Days: Tied with KC's "Miracle" for 3rd place Best Oneshot I Am: Honorable Mention October Wind: Honorable Mention My Fics: (Caution! May contain spoilers.) Quick Facts: -My characterizations are based primarily on Mirage 'verse turtles. Though I incorporate 2k3 elements, my turtles will always be darker, edgier, and more mature than their cartoon counterparts. I do not hold anything besides (most) comic verse, 2k3, and the '07 movie as cannon, though I do use elements from Fast Forward and BttS in an AU setting. -My 'T' rated fics are on the high end of the scale. Nearly all of my fics contain some crude language and a large portion contain graphic violence/adult themes. They aren't for the faint of heart. -I do not write turtlecest because I believe it is grossly OOC. Other than that, I have very few qualms about it. Series/ AUs: (Sons of Light and Darkness Universe) War of the Shadows: In my opinion, this fic is way too long, but definitely will satisfy anyone's craving for some good, dark angst. This was my very first fic ever, and it was sort of my debut piece, so the writing tends to get pretty sketchy in places. I'm trying my best to reconstruct it and up the quality in the way this beast of a plotline deserves. (Complete/Under Reconstruction) Note: I may end up breaking WOTS into two halves for easier reading somewhere down the line, making this series a trilogy. If that is the case, the second half of the story will be a repost of the refurbished original story. Proving the Light: The sequel to WOTS. More angst, drama, and action in my AU spun off of the 2003 and Fast Forward series. Focuses mostly on Donatello's downfall in the aftermath of WOTS and the repercussions of Bishop's global reign of terror. (Progressing. Approximately 21 chapters in total.) Sons of Light and Darkness: Vignettes written by my very good friend, the talented and wonderful Nineteenth Souljah. See her gorgeous insight into my AU here: http://www.fanfiction.net/s/5492084/1/Sons_of_Light_and_Darkness (SAINW: Scars Series) My attempt at filling in the gap between the turtles we all know and love, and those we see in this stark future. Consists of a series of Oneshots/Two-shots written in different POVs. A Brand (Raphael), A Mark (Michelangelo), TBC. Multi-chapters: Invincible: Raph/Leo character study piece. An emotionally unstable Raphael finds himself stumbling off the deep end. His mind clouded by anger and an oncoming illness, he finds himself injured at the mercy of the Foot. Karai plots revenge, Raph clings to life, and Leo faces his inner demons in a battle to save the unsaveable. A tale of darkness, fear, hope, and brotherhood, but most importantly of all, the never-ending quest for understanding. (Complete) Oblivion: ON HIATUS. A Leo-centric fic, mostly pure action/drama. On a late night run, a strange encounter with the Foot leads the turtles down a path of uncertainty and a quest to save a brother. But sometimes, only time can heal the deepest wounds. (Progressing/ Hiatus until further notice) Clockwork: A collaborative fic written with my buddy and beta Angelfeatherwriter. It's written in an AU we've materialized from a certain BTTS episode. Confusing? Yes, we intend it to be! The plot will unfold and questions will be answered as Leonardo faces his inner demons and comes to realize his entire life is not what it seems. Now, he must save his brothers from a terrible truth. (Progressing) | |||||||||||
