Ah...I was never really into fanfiction until I wrote a story myself! Luckily, my first fic, despite my lack of experience, was a success...but after certain circumstances, alot of my audience and I were split apart...so I thought it is time to share my writings with a much larger audience, and the place I chose was FF. net. I mostly write humorous fanfiction, with my Kirby Smash Brothers stories being my primary series, but lately I've been expanding my stories, and I'm even doing a joint project with some other people!

This collaboration project, called the New Testaments series, will cover the Seiken Densetsu/Secret of Mana series. You can check that out here right now. If you want to talk to me daily, you can contact me on AIM (same as my email address). I'm online a lot at night.

Some stuff about me:

I'm an African American college student living in America...my interests are Games, Star Ocean, some sports, writing (a little obvious, right?), drawing, etc.

My favorite game series are, in order: Star Ocean, Seiken Densetsu (Mana), and Metroid. After that, there's too many to list properly. I like all kinds of video games, though I prefer Action RPGs.

And yeah, I've seen that person that recently registered as Claude Kenni and they.do.not.deserve.that.name! Let it be known that if I see him in the street, I'll take him OUT!

Current Updates:

Sept 09 edition!
- FF Claudus XIII Chapter 6 is under way! When it will see the light of day depends on when I put time aside to write it all.
- Chapters 18 & 19 of NTSoM is being written by Niko, so any progress on that is currently out of my hands. I have already did a decent amount of work on some of the chapters following them. I may work on the NTSoM sidestory a bit more, but it won't be posted here until it's completely done.
- Kirby's Insane Journey 4 (DWAM) Chapter 26 is halfway complete. The story is dangerously close to a conclusion. I am already working on the sequel.
- Kirby's Insane Halloween has (finally) been posted! My plan is to post the final chapter on Halloween.
- I have begun writing Farce Ocean 3, a parody of Star Ocean 3. I have the beginning planned out but I'm not sure how much further it will go beyond that in the near future.
- Inspired by Star Ocean 4, I've started working on Star Ocean Zero. More details below...
- Any other story I didn't mention here is currently on the backburner and won't be seen for awhile. However, that doesn't mean that I don't have spontaneous fits of writing...

Upcoming works and progress:

Continuations of my Kirby's Insane Journey series (KIJ4 is nearing completion)
Star Ocean Zero, an original Star Ocean prequel
Farce Ocean, a Star Ocean parody series
New Testaments series based on the Mana/Seiken Densetsu games (collaboration effort, New Testaments: Secret of Mana is up now and in progress)
New Testaments Side stories (Ch4 of Eliza the Witch for NTSoM in progress)
Mochtroid - A Metroid parody
Final Fantasy Claudus XIII - Chapter 6 (Anger Management)

My two main fanfiction series are the Kirby's Insane Journey series and the New Testaments series. The stories are as follows:
Kirby's Insane Journey:
KIJ1 - Kirby's Insane Journey to Learn How to Wall Jump!
KIJ2 - Kirby's Insane Journey to Learn How to Wall Jump II/Again
KIJ3 - Kirby's Insane Journey to Find the Two Amulets!
I Like Cars - A poem by Captain Falcon
KIJ4 - Kirby's Insane Journey to End the DWAM's Abuse! (Still in progress)
KIJ5 - ?? (Coming Soon)
KIH - Kirby's Insane Halloween

The Kirby's Insane Journey series is a series of humorous, adventurous Super Smash Brothers stories. The first three can be pretty random, but starting with KIJ4 the series changed direction with a real storyline and better writing that reflected my maturation from a teen with no real writing experience to a young adult. They usually don't deal with tournaments, "smash mansions" and the overdone likes but rather life outside of battles, and whatever threatens the Nintendo universe today. The first and third Kirby's Insane Journey stories have been removed from FFdotnet, however, you can still read them by clicking the links above.

New Testaments:
New Testaments: Secret of Mana (Still in Progress)
NTSoM - Eliza the Witch: Seasons Change (To Be Posted)
New Testaments: Seiken Densetsu 3 (Coming eventually)

New Testaments series follows up after each Mana games ends, and tells a new tale involving both new and old characters. NTSoM takes place 10 years after SoM, when mana is mysteriously returning. Luka and the Elemental Spirits make a call to arms in preperation of an unseen threat that wants Randi and his Sword of Mana. Eliza the Witch, an NTSoM sidestory, is a sort of prequel that takes place 1 year before NTSoM, and tells the tale of Elinee's niece, who comes to stay with her in her castle. The story leads up and into NTSoM, where Eliza will play a role. You can learn more about New Testaments: Secret of Mana on the dedicated portion of my site.

Star Ocean:
Star Ocean Zero (Coming soon)
Farce Ocean: Fantastic Space Parody (Coming eventually)
Farce Ocean 3: Till the End of Parodies (Coming Soon?)

Star Ocean Zero is an original story in the Star Ocean universe that takes place in 2011 - approximately 86 years before Star Ocean 4. It marks an unrecorded encounter between man and alien as an Earthling is caught in a fued that just may be related to Earth's survival.

Farce Ocean is a combination of ideas from my SSB Kirby's Insane Journey and New Testaments series. It is a story with humor but a serious plotline (to an extent!), and like NT is based on each Star Ocean as a parody/novelization. The first story is based on SO1, but the one that is getting the most traction is Farce Ocean 3.

Other Stories:
Final Fantasy Claudus XIII

Final Fantasy Claudus XIII is a parody I wrote based on the short FFXIII E3 2006 trailer. I wrote it in the middle of the night after reading too much of the idiotic bashing on the GameFAQ's forum. I needed to vent somehow, so...there's plenty of not-so-subtle potshots at GameFAQs and the stereotypical users that attack the game based on the trailer. The "Claudus" between FF and XIII is just a parodical way to distinguish it based on the latin fetish SE has displayed with the titles of the other FFXIII games (Final Fantasy Versus XIII, Agito XIII, etc.) It has little to no continuity and plenty of nonsense. Trust me, it's fun and therapeutic to write something like this once in awhile.

I've seen people doing them for awhile, and now I think it's time that I also list My Fanfiction Likes and Dislikes:

Likes:
- Good self insertions (one of the first really good fanfics I read was a self insert, despite the warnings to avoid them like the plague)
- Humorous stories (Humor is my specialty, and one of my favorite genres to read)
- Originality (Something that hasn't been done before, or at least hasn't been done to death)
- Helpful reviews (Constructive criticism and real feedback, not just "love it" or "ur story sux")
- Good Dialogue (This is underrated. Good dialogue makes the characters that much better when they feel so real. I'm working on improving dialogue in my own stories.)

Dislikes:
- Mary Sues & Gary Stus (I dislike these with a passion. I don't want to read a story where your character continually bends the universe at their will, accomplishes something the protagonists have been trying to do for as long as who knows what in a matter of chapters, makes all the characters want and love them like bestest friends EVAR within a matter of minutes, etc.)
- Clueless Sue tantrums (people who do not take kindly to any kind of constructive critcism, especially when involving Sues)
- Flamers (People who are simply here not to write and share their stories with others, but to attack and flame a select few who have the audacity to write something they didn't like)
- Praising bad stories (Something most people here have problems with. An absolutely terrible story getting reviews telling them that their story is great, the best thing ever, etc. Come on people, you don't have to lie to them. Telling them that their story needs work and giving suggestions isn't a crime. They aren't going to hang themselves if you don't worship their story in your review. You're not helping them write any better by telling them lies. I believe in helping people improve.)
- Author's Notes that are longer than the chapter (It might sound ridiculous or exaggerated to people that haven't seen it, but I've encountered more than one story where the author has his/her little skits with the characters/muses in the story at the beginning and end of the chapter, only for both parts combined to be longer than the chapter itself.)

All of these dislikes makes me seem like an easily annoyed person...

Claude's recommendations for friends and other authors' stories:
Here's a list of stories I recommend, written by other authors on this site I do or don't know. The suspense!

A Star Ocean 2 Parody
A hilarious parody of Star Ocean: The Second Story, from GameFAQs and written by MetalGearSolidBoy. It follows the events of SO2 as if it were a film, complete with the cast as "actors," a director, and...mishaps on the set.

Star Ocean 3: To Another Space
A Star Ocean: Till the End of Time sequel fanfic written by K-19. Follows everyone's favorite disgruntled cross-dressing alien anti-hero, Albel Nox, in a serious story that gives insight on his past.

An Author's Nightmare 3: Enter Knothole
The third story in a multi-authored series of self-insert Sonic fanfics, this time written by LittleTiger488. The Author's Nightmare series has a "no mary sue" motto. This is my favorite in the series, and features the authoress' character April getting sucked into her favorite Sonicverse, the SatAM universe, where she quickly learns that it's not all fun and games, and that more goes on behind the scenes than just what she knew from the episodes of the show. I recommend the rest of the series (sans AAN 2) as well.
