Author has written 20 stories for Fruits Basket, Fullmetal Alchemist, Kingdom Hearts, and Black Cat.

Hey there! We're the mutant penguins! Our names are Rags to Riches and Ember, and we're totally insane. But that's beside the point.

EDIT: See that "homepage" button/link/thing? That's our livejournal. If you want to know why we haven't updated a certain fic, check there and there just might be an excuse. We'll be using it fairly frequently.


Hey, Rags to Riches! Let's make profiles for each other! I'll start:

Name: Rags to Riches

Location: Somewhere

Eyes: Yes

Hair: Yes

Sex: No, thanks.

Brain: sometimes (we share it)

Stories:

1) A Tale of Two Foxes (tentative title) (Black Cat, Sven/OC and Train/OC, chaptered)-- in writing

2) (untitled as of yet) (Black Cat, mentions of Train/Sephiria, chaptered)-- in writing

Fangirls for: Sven Vollfied (Black Cat), Edward Elric (Fullmetal Alchemist. He's mine, though.)

Wild Parties: Only when I'm hosting them.

Knowledge of Spelling and Grammar: No


You know what Ember? You are a dork. Now that we have that established on to the super special awesome profile!

Name:Ember

Location: Who knows?

Eyes: She has two as far as I know

Hair: Turns emo at times

Sex: Waiting for marriage

Brain: Only when I'm not hogging it

Stories: Too many to list here. Pretty much everything on this page is Ember's work anyway. So scroll down for the complete listing.

Fangirls for: Train Heartnet (Black Cat), Edward Elric (Fullmetal Alchemist, she owns him), Yuki Sohma (Fruits Basket), Sora/Riku (Kingdom Hearts, which one depends on the day)

Wild Parties: Only with imaginary characters from mangas

Knowledge of Grammar and Spelling: GRAMMAR NAZI!!(Not joking)


Hey, there, Ember here with a fascinating glimpse into the minds of the mutant penguins at work! Er, school. Hey, the chemistry teacher didn't mind TOO much...

E: ...Help me. The st00p1d factor is rising exponentially!

RtR: It's too late for me, run while you still can! I'll fight them off!

E: Wow. Harry Potter style. In that case, since I'll die to save Iodo (our son (what happens when you have sex outside of marriage, pretty much a ball and stick model of... Ember thinks it was either cyclohexane or glucose)), see you on the other side soon.

RtR: You don't think I can remember the name of our own son?! How dare you! Hmph. See if I save your sorry @.

E: I just had to make it clear. Remember, these chats tend to get passed around a lot (and now posted). I know you know our son.

RtR: True. Fine, I'll save your @ only for you to die anyway making my death utterly pointless... Never mind. I'm still not saving you. See ya, suckers!

E: So I'll save you pointlessly? Ok then. Just know that I love you with all my spleen and... about half my stomach (I think.)

RtR: Good. You die and I get to cash in on your like 10 billion life insurance policies.

E: Since when did I have 10 billion? And you won't die to save our son?! Then I won't die to save you! Hmph.

RtR: I wasn't going to make you saving me necessary. I was going to save you and then you were going to throw your life away after I so gallantly saved it to save our son. Besides, the term "like" indicates an exaggeration.

E: Lolz. How about we all run off to... either Ireland or Mexico, thus making dying unnecessary?

RtR: I vote Ireland.

E: Ireland it is, then. Let's go! Though it's a shame we missed out on St. Patrick's Day...

RtR: The guy wasn't even Irish. I think he was Welsh.

E: Hmm, always thought he was British, myself.

RtR: He might have been... that's a good question... anyway, he wasn't Irish.

E: Nope.

RtR: Besides, we'll catch it next year.

E: That we will... hey, how would the Harry Potter series have turned out if Lily and James were as smart as us?

RtR: I dunno, maybe Voldemort would be dead? Like forever, not popping up at every other intersection in his car at a red light.

E: Nice imagery. Me likey. Wouldn't he be most upset if he was caught at every red light?

RtR: Duh, that's why he's so freaking angry at Harry Potter all the time! Harry's the little man in the big tower controlling the lights, you know.

E: Your family told you about the little man too? Creepy... (note: Ember says this whenever she and Rags to Riches have a similar moment (which happens a LOT).)

RtR: It's him. I swear.

E: I'd believe it. No wonder so many fuses blow up.

RtR: Yup.

E: Hmm. I'm seeing a bad fanfic coming on... but I want to finish the other two I'm working on first.

RtR: That could be a fun one.

E: That it could be. But Ed1 and Roy are in the middle of an awkward situation and Ed2's still bawling in front of Steven.

RtR: Heehee and aww.

E: You know, it's strange to refer to the Eds in my different stories like that.

RtR: And yet, somehow I knew exactly what you meant.

E: Well, that's because you're pretty much me.

RtR: Yup. Hey, we should post this conversation.

E: Ok.

AND SO, YOU HAVE SEEN INTO OUR MINDS. OH SNAP.

No, Roy, we did not actually want you to snap. Now go fix Ember's basement.


UPDATE: ON ROLLER COASTERS

So Ember and Rags to Riches went to a theme park today and rode all the roller coasters at least once (many of them twice; we're adrenaline junkies and proud of it). Then Ember came up with the strangest analogy for roller coasters. If you run screaming at the vaguest mention of... bedroom activities... run away now.

So Ember was like, "You know, great roller coasters are kinda like great sex (or so we presume, anyway). You see, it's really exhilarating, much better the second time, and you can't walk straight after. Plus on the really good times you're almost never quite sure which way is up and you're generally screaming." Strange but true. So now when you ride roller coasters, think of us. Think of hot sex. Just please not at the same time.

And then we took pictures of our feet. Just because. Deal with it.


UPDATE: EMBER'S TWENTIETH STORY

Ember has recently published her twentieth story. So, in celebration and as a thank-you to all those people who have stuck with her (and the newbies... heehee Ember likes her some fresh blood), Ember's holding a little contest/giftfic thing.

The first five people to PM her (or, should you have no account here, to review her newest story, "Something to Think About". But PMs are preferred.) with a story request will have their request considered. Ember will pick her favorite out of the lot, combining ideas where beneficial, and write a little thank-you fic! So let's get 'em coming! Ember's waiting!


Laterz!!
