Be who you are and say what you feel because those who mind don't matter and those who matter don't mind,”--Theodore Geisel aka Dr. Seuss

I used to be a Digimon/Pokemon fanfic writer, but I've now laid those two giants to rest and have spanned into the enormous world of Naruto and the spaz-tastic show Codename: Kids Next Door. My updating pattern is pretty random (it takes a while for a chapter since I'm in law school and all), but the chapters I chock out tend to be pretty long as a result of that. I also value character development and plot over action and character derailment (unless there is a reason for the derailment. A VALID reason, not a deus ex machina). So no matter how much I actually dislike a character, I will NOT result to character bashing.

As far as pairings go, I do have personal preferences which would take too long to list, but it doesn't mean I won't be open to reading about others, same sex or not (though yuri doesn't really interest me that much). That said, I'm a bit anal about characters morphing out of character for the purpose of pairing them with someone else unless it's cited as a crack pairing. Then it's all good! XD

Favorites:

Anime: Digimon, Pokemon, Naruto, Bleach, Fullmetal Alchemist, Yugioh, Shaman King, Cowboy Bebop, Gurren Lagann, Death Note, Afro Samurai, xxxHolic (the only shoujo-ish thing I enjoy watching), Black Lagoon, and D.Grayman. I still like the Dragonball series and Gundam Seed to some degree (more for kicks now), and I currently have a like/indifferent relationship with Code Geass. In terms of manga, I am currently half-interested in the crapsack world of Berserk.

Any other shows: Codename: Kids Next Door, Avatar: The Last Airbender, the DCAU (especially Batman the Animated series and the Justice League series), Xiaolin Showdown, Teen Titans, Invader Zim, The Fairly Odd Parents, The Grim Adventures of Billy and Mandy, Kim Possible, and Ed, Edd, n' Eddy. I also retain most of my love for the old Disney shows of long ago (like Ducktales and Gargoyles)...except for the Gummy Bears and Bonkers. :P

Live Action: Angel, Scrubs, The Office, House, the Daily Show, the Colbert Report, Glee, and occasionally stuff on the Food Network (even though I can't cook).

Video Games: Okami, The Legend of Zelda series, Super Smash Bros. (all of them), Tales of Symphonia and Abyss, the Clash of Ninja series, Persona 3, Kingdom Hearts (not 2), Animal Crossing, the Golden Sun series, Final Fantasy VI, and the Paper Mario series (ESPECIALLY Thousand Year Door). I'm also quite familiar with the Metal Gear series and the fighting games Street Fighter, Guilty Gear, and Blaz Blue though I've never played any of them.

Books: Harry Potter series (though I'm less partial to Book 2 and parts of Book 6; Voldy's backstory was great though), Ender's Game and the Shadow series (mostly b/c of Peter), Wuthering Heights, The Great Gatsby, Never Let Me Go, the Thrawn trilogy, and A Series of Unfortunate Events.

Naruto:
The Paths We Walk: Book One-The Path of Discovery: For many years the two set demonic races of the world, the yokai and the ophanin, were engaged in conflict. However, one yokai and one ophan bonded during the divergence and threw away everything in favor of their love. They had a child who controlled a power that would forever change the perspective of the world. That child’s name was Naruto.
Seventeen years have passed since that day and Naruto struggles to grow up with the humans alongside an innocent ophan called Riaru. Ordinary days constantly filled with scorn and lack of acknowledgment, he has no idea of the power locked inside his body that threatens to unleash. But when he befriends the serious avenger Sasuke and his cynical housemate Cassandra, Naruto’s journey towards self-discovery begins.
Chapter Amount: 10

Future Works:
Codename: Kids Next Door:
Codename: Kids Next Door-Resurrection: 5 years after Operation RESCUE, the lives of Sector V and Sector F take a drastic turn after one of their teammates is murdered. 4 years later, the other ex-operatives are targeted by a mysterious assassin syndicate. The two former KND teams must find the strength they once had within themselves to defeat this new menace, and unravel the mystery behind their friend's demise. Yet they must tread carefully...for behind the trail of blood, deception, and violence lie two souls not bent on madness...but quite the opposite.

Rated: M for violence, language, disturbing elements (such as forced drugs, torture, mind-rape, and psychological disorders), possible gore, sex (blushes), and LOTS of angst...but mostly violence. YAY VIOLENCE!
Chapter Amount: 16 (may decrease)

This story is probably the darkest and most disturbing of my fics so I'm debating whether or not to tone it down for this site when I put it up (...probably not though some chapters will be posted onto my livejournal if the watchdogs take offense). Other than that, yeah...it might take a while to release it considering I have to finish Operation RESCUE first.

Naruto:
The Paths We Walk: Book Two-The Path of Deceit: Two years have passed since Naruto’s discovery of his demonic origins. Yet life has become only more complicated with the appearance of a mysterious man named Kazuki. Between dealing with Kazuki and Riaru’s budding romance, Cassandra’s unplanned pregnancy, and his growing feelings for Sasuke, Naruto barely has time to dwell on the powers sealed within his body.
However, danger is set into motion when a disastrous accident severs the pact between the yokai and ophanin. With the bargain null and void, waiting yokai rise up to sate their revenge upon the citizens of Konoha and their ophanin guardians. When Naruto and his friends find themselves locked in a war they never asked for, they'll do anything to protect those they love...even if it means giving up their lives.

Rated: M for language, violence, angst, yaoi, and possible adult themes. There will also be character death.
Chapter Amount: 10

The Paths We Walk: Book Three-The Path of Deliverance: The war between the yokai and the ophanin-human alliance has now nearly spanned almost four years and neither side shows signs of giving up. But the conflict has taken its toll upon its unwilling participants. With Orochimaru pulling the strings on his younger brother's reign, corruption is everywhere. Riaru must finally abandon her naivety to become a leader in the eyes of her people. Sasuke must forsake his revenge and fulfill a lifelong promise to Cassandra. And Kazuki must walk his own path, away from the persuasions of others.
Guilt-ridden over the casualties of the war, Naruto had departed on a quest for redemption; leaving Riaru and his allies behind. Yet the disappearance of his closest friend forces him to decide on his place in the world; whether or not it involves having him alive or succumbing to the demon. So must others take their stance as the final conclusion of the war draws near.

Rated: M for language, violence, yaoi (not explicit though), and slight angst (though not nearly as much as the overload in Book 2). Also, more character death.
Chapter Amount: ...not sure

The Paths We Walk-The Musical Edition: the story of love, discovery, betrayal, and hope now enters the world of theater as the characters rehash the trilogy onstage through song (both old and new).
Though the timeline will be altered to allow the script to run smoothly, most elements will be kept the same. The idea of using a variety of songs is based off the musical-movie Moulin Rouge, although no song/lyrics belongs to me.

Rated: T (depending on content of song lyrics and of course, the story elements of violence and language)
