I enjoy taking a story or a concept and running with it as far as I can go. I have a hard time sticking to just one genre when writing a story because life itself doesn't follow just one genre. I like to take concepts and put them in a new light. When something catches my eye I will follow it through to the end.
"Damaged" is my first fic, and It had done much better than I had ever expected a random scribbling in math class to ever do. Three years later and a large following later, and I had to end it. Damaged had taught me many things about writing, and even more about the people that read what I write.
"Grandpa" was technically written during "Angseth". I needed a break from the Metroids and looking back at my works thus far, and the pile of works-yet-to-be-typed sitting in the corner, I wondered if I could really write a Short Story. Short stories have always been a literary staple, the art of which has been waning in recent years when the Novel has taken the fore. So sitting in anticipation of the 2007 movie, I decided to write a Transformers story. I'm happy with the results.
"Angseth" is my newest creation, and it is helping me to get my more serious writing legs back in shape. My fiance got me hooked on Metroid with the Prime series, and later the classics. Angseth leans heavily on a Metroid Prime, Prime2, and hopefully soon, Prime3, because those are the only games with any amount of plot that you can really get into. I've tried to incorporate elements from all the games in one form or another. Some elements I've chosen to ignore entirely because they were either forgotten about or over-looked in later games. And yes, even Smash Bros references are present. I knew that it would be either a hit or miss with most Metroid fans because Samus Aran is not the main character. Instead I've dredged up a footnote of a character whose corpse you encounter in Prime 2. And simply asked the question, "What if she survived this mess?" I think writing from that point of view allows for a deeper look into the Metroid universe. I've also tried to write the Fic so a reader didn't have to know anything about Metroid to enjoy the story.
"Red Cap" was inspired by a random bit of AI in the Half Life game. While playing I picked up a group of cannon fodder lackeys. Usually you get these guys and they die off pretty quickly…except one. A chick wearing a red cap. At some point I turned around and she was still there, after trekking through numerous stages. She had even picked up a few new weapons along the way. From that point she became my good luck charm, and if she were ever killed, I’d start the stage over again and ensured that she made it through. The story came shortly after.
Please be warned, my chapters are huge. They range anywhere from 15 to 25 single spaced typed pages. I believe that a good fic is one that you can print out and spend a bit of time reading and relaxing with. So I hope your printer is up to the challenge! I usually try to update on or by the 20th of each month, but sometimes that can be pushed aside by the holidays or my work schedule.
I always write everything by hand first in notebooks, then as I get a firmer grip on the story, I will begin to type it out. Most of the time this keeps me from losing my train of thought, however at times I must take a break in typing so that I may maintain at least a five chapter lead in my notebooks. I thank everyone for being so patient with the amount of time between updates. From the first paragraph to the last page, I will always give nothing but my best.
That said, read on and enjoy!
