August 31, 2006: To anybody who comes across this bio (which would be unusual, since I haven't posted in a while), I'm still interested in fanfiction and writing in general - BUT - my newest post will be neither Dragon Ball Z OR Sailor Moon. Woah.
January 25, 2005: This is a rather out of place announcement, but my birthday was back in December. Anyway, all my ignorant critics should probably launch a guess at my supposed age right now, the results of which I can probably predict ("he's a fifty year old man who lives at home with his mom" or "must be a stupid five-year-old brat" or "probably a cocky high school senior). Of course, all of these are wrong, but that won't stop any ignoramus, will it?
On another note, ALL MY CRITICS SHOULD SEE THE NEWEST RANT ON THIS BIO, FOUND BELOW. It explains, with sublime clarity, my flaming philosophy. I guarantee that everyone who reads it will walk away believing I am the most enlightened being on FanFiction.net (in case somebody can't guess, this is sarcasm). Indeed, everyone should read this.
Authors I recommend:
-Misty (One of the few, very few people around who write good and put out lots of stories. She's gone off on somewhat of a sarcastic/ridiculous tangent as of late, however, but her stories are still ranking up there with the best in the section)
-Phedre no Delaunay (Yep, the stories on this profile are a lot better than the usual crap around FF.net. She managed to make friends with me even after reading one of my flames. That doesn't happen often )
-Born4Glory (He's the only other Supreme Flamer. Excellent wordsmith. Unfortunately, he's been inactive recently.)
-Talysmin (The level of detail and description in Talysmin's writing is amazing. But she's twenty-something, after all! She currently resides in Japan)
-Proteus (This guy didn't start out as much, but he progressed gradually in his stories to become one of the best authors in the DBZ/SM section. Unfortunately, he's writing in the Ranma section right now...he says he's got out of his 'DBZ Rut'...grr...)
-FairDrea (This particular author is 21, and her fics are without a doubt among the best, with much detail. Check them out!)
-Quedorm (His story rules, except for one little issue I'm going to have to work out. Read it, and learn, kids)
My bio:
Lamentably, this probably has to be read by more than a few of my very, very vocal (and usually pinheaded) dissenters. I'm a resident of the Dragon Ball Z/Sailor Moon section (sucktion) of FanFiction.net, a rather dubious title. However, I'm enormously more proud (bordering on hubris) to be a Supreme Flamer of the aforementioned section, laying waste to the infantile "authors" and their ornery sycophants on an irregular basis. This necessitates an explanation of my flaming philosophy, which is so "complicated" judging from some "flamerslayers" that it requires a separate essay, found below. Anyway, to close, I've dispensed with the usual trivial formalities common to most bios on FF.net (favorite color, favorite "pairing," megashippers...ugh favorite blah, etc), and the only thing you will find about my actual life is that I have a life, I'm a guy, and am in fact not a totalitarian neo-nazi (maybe something else, if you're lucky).

A Rant on my Flaming Philosophy
It probably has come to be known by most readers of this rant (at least, I hope) that most of the authors on FanFiction.net are actually veritable greenhorns of literacy who should best be left watching their favorite shows and not turning out all manner of fanatical goo like an industrial assembly line (it turns out there's another lesson from this analogy - most bad fanfiction is composed of interchangeable parts). True students of the writing field deal with this in several ways - some offer sugar-coated criticism, some ignore the entire mess, some poke good fun at it, and some lay waste to it. I am a member of the last category, as can be quantified from my inciendary writings. But as it turns out, about 99.9 of the fanfiction world is vehemently opposed to this very method (as it also turns out, that is about the percentage of idiots in the fanfiction world, but it is important to note I don't believe all my dissenters are oblivious novices). Therefore it becomes necessary to explain away my flaming devices to everyone who comes across me.
Let's start by establishing a central tenet of my method - FLAMING A STORY IS NOT THE SAME THING AS FLAMING THE AUTHOR. Yes, it is true the story is the product of the author - but does anyone condemn a student to be a bad person based on his bad work (I certainly hope not)? Therefore if the story is justly attacked, the author should not be offended. If the author is offended and strikes back, it becomes apparent that the author cannot distinguish his/her work from his/her very personage, which is a wrong philosophy.
It will become blatantly apparent to some in regards to where this rant is leading. On the first pass, as it were, of a story, I resign from flaming the author. However, I will be rather harsh with the story, which will, of course, be an honest opinion. If the author takes even some of my suggestions, I'll be happy. However if the author strikes back, I'll flame the author. Simple as that. It avoids the inherently unfair method of condemning the author and the story on the first run, a big no-no especially in regards to first-time authors, and it should fit theview of even the most liberal shine.
A Rant Against the Betrayal Cliche
The betrayal cliche. . .the rather infamous, standardized plot that the DBZ/SM section can't shake.
-Serena walks up to the Cherry Hill Temple, finds the Scouts talking badly about her, surprises them by arriving early, removes their powers and finds out that all, or some of them have been sleeping with Mamoru/Darien. Bah...
-Serena goes to Outers, they pity her (hahaha, indeed), Outers, especially Amara, show display of blatant chest pounding by bragging about how they're going to cut Darien's unmentionable off, or kill the Scouts, etc. etc...
-Serena visits Pluto. Pluto sends her to another dimension (oh, yeah right. First of all, why can't Serena go somewhere on Earth? It is a pretty vast place. Second, how does Pluto even know other dimensions exist outside of Crystal Tokyo?)
-Serena hops through the time gates, falls from the sky, is found by Gohan/Goku/Vegeta/Trunks or whoever the author wants to pair her up with, they take her to Capsule Corp, heal her, Serena shows off her awesome powers to them, which somehow (rolls eyes) surpass Krillin's/Goku's/Vegeta's/Gohan's/Trunks's/Vegitto's powers, then:
a) The Scouts visit from another dimension to avenge Mamoru's unmentionable, or get the Silver Imperium Crystal, or something.
b) DBZ enemy arrives, Serena beats the DBZ enemy easily, (hahaha...yeah right) and lives happily with the Z fighters as a goody two shoes who is so beautiful and can do absolutely no wrong.
If your story sounds even partially like this, then you are...augh, let's say you need to change your STORY IMMEDIATELY. To anyone who says 'well, cliches are in books, movies and television, so get over it' I respond with:
BETRAYAL FANFICS WILL NEVER, EVER BE AS GOOD AS STAR WARS!
A Rant Against Unlogical Authors (AKA Hypersensitive People)
"If you don't have anything nice to say, don't say anything at all!"
-The Hypersensitive Philosopher Who Never Lived To Be Thirsty
Where do people think we are? Happy lala land? Teletubbie time? Authors around here have to accept that when they post their work publicly, they can receive a wide range of opinions. The same thing happens when professionals release their novel to the public. If I don't like your story, I'll point out what's wrong. Don't like what I said? The truth hurts (you also have to accept my review if it pertains to your story. . .you can't reject it). Change your story according to my opinion, and you'll get a good opinion (or argue logically). Simple. Of course, a wide range of people these days are too lazy to revise, or anything of that sort.
A Rant Telling People How Much I Have Seen Of Sailor Moon Because If I Don't Then They'll Accuse Me In Exceeding Meaninglessness
-I have read the transcripts for every episode of the original Sailor Moon.
-I have watched almost every episode of Sailor Moon R and S.
-I have read illustrated episode summaries for R and S.
-I have written a fic that doesn't bash SM, Subzero Soul.
Why come to the DBZ/SM section when I honestly don't like Sailor Moon that much? It's because I can't stand to see DBZ butchered. . .
Why do I know so much about Sailor Moon when I honestly don't like it that much? Before I started to dislike it, I was a Sailor Moon maniac. Honestly, guys, use your heads...
And finally, ifanyone EVER tell me I've watched more anime than you have TV, that would be a bald-faced lie. Even ifone watched TV for only 1 or 2 hours a day for half ofone's approximate lifetime up to this point, it would still be far more than watching most of the episodes for SMR, SMS, and DBZ only one time (yes, I have watched some select episodes repeatedly, but the point still stands). Indeed, if a statement like that must be true, the person must be in the toddler stage, which would probably alleviate the damaging fact thathe/sheis an ignoramus and shift the blame to terrible parents for allowinghim/her to attack a seasoned flamer on the internet.
If you have some free time on your hands, check out The Military Planet, whose link is beside the subtitle "Homepage." On it are pictures of my Lego models, and two comics (non-professional), listed below:
-Terminators, the story of Sporanox, a dragon working for the Black Widow Mercenaries. Mostly focuses on action. Done in color.
-Black Legion, done by my brother. Electro and Keris's current adventure is killing the Sailor Scouts/Senshi. Black and white, very funny.
Before you read my rant, keep in mind that this is wholesome entertainment. Er, I mean humor. Don't tell me I'm going and assuming things by this rant. However, some Sailor Moon fans sound like this (yes, the quotes are word for word)
-Chauvinistic boy!
-Testosterone marinated BAKA!
If these are not feminist sayings, I'm Serena's uncle. . .Read the rant, anyway.
ALRIGHT All ya DBZ or SM fans out there, I have sumptin' ta say to you:
I HAVE COME TO A STUNNING CONCLUSION!
Sailor Moon fans are mostly feminists.
MOSTLY. I know some VERY nice SM fans out there..
At a time where feminism is infecting America...SM shows up and becomes the perfect "poster child" so to speak. rolls eyes I'm sure Naoko Takuechi did not mean it that way, but the truth is that IT HAS BECOME A FEMINIST SYMBOL ON FF.NET!
At a time where the government of America is "leveling the playing field" for women to enter the military, thus slowly weakening it in comparison to other countries, at a time where feminist protestors storm Washington, at a time when Readers Digest airs its article, "Are Boys the Weaker Sex?"...
SM has taken over the DBZ/SM section.
As a last resort, I have unfolded our secret, brand-new weapon;
The story called "The Hunt for Goku".
Cheesy music
rolls eyes so much they almost fall out of sockets
is cheered on by the DBZ fans
is slammed by the SM fans who then try to beat the crap out of him
"Ugh..."
Now, here comes the bookend. . .
Henceforth, you will reading my list of the most beautiful, cute, pretty video game girls you have ever seen (they outstrip anime girls by miles! HAHAHAHAHAHA).
Ayane (Dead or Alive 3)
Alice (Bloody Roar: Primal Fury)
