Author has written 27 stories for Thomas the Tank Engine, Pokémon, TUGS, and Web Shows.

Hello Fanfiction.net!

My name is Ethan and I live in Auckland, New Zealand, a little old place at the end of the Earth where not a lot happens. I have been obsessed with writing for many years, beginning when I was a child writing horrifically cheesy Thomas the Tank Engine fics that I still have copies of that make me cringe whenever I read them. Around six years ago I began work on my first original story which paved the way for me looking into becoming more serious about my writing and broadening my horizions. I joined FanFiction.net in 2008 with a Thomas Railway Series-themed story "Toby's Vintage Train", and I soon broadened into the world of Pokemon fan fiction after I played LeafGreen and decided to do a series based on Red and Leaf.

I now have a large amount of Thomas and Pokemon stories on this site, with those numbers set to increase. I have a universe for each franchise where all my stories take place for them, and my Pokemon world, the GalacticVerse, has it's own community within the website - it is not crucial to read all the stories, but there will be extensive crossovers between the various series to bring all the characters together. I also have a TUGS story, with a sequel coming when I can finally get around to doing it, and I am planning on doing other fan fictions with my main view on doing Harry Potter and Game of Thrones/Ice and Fire work. You will probably like my work if you like a variety of characters, lots of dramatic sequences, intense Pokemon battles for those stories, the odd one liner and the sort of plots where you get a million new questions every chapter but only a few answers every so often :P I will not say all of my work is brilliant, but I believe there is something for everyone and I hope you all enjoy! :D

Interests: Reading and writing is dominant.
Favourite Books: Harry Potter by J.K Rowling, A Song of Ice and Fire series by George R.R. Martin, Thomas the Tank Engine by Rev. W.

STORY UPDATES:

- Sorry for the massive delay in all Pokemon/GalacticVerse stories. I will be working on clearing this all up and getting back to a more regular publishing schedule and making up for the massive gap between The First Warriors chapters.
- I am very happy to now add that Red vs Leaf, my very first Pokemon story published and completed on here, has crossed the 10,000 views mark! This is my second story here to achieve such a goal, and I am so happy to see something I wrote and finished so long ago still being read to this very day!
- OUT NOW: Dawn of Darkness - A GalacticVerse prequel following the summer of Viktor Fisher, a twelve year old boy trying to find his place in the world as he struggles with battling and becomes involved in a plot that could unlock the secrets of the universe.
- The GalacticVerse Community is now active, and will be the point where all of my Pokemon series set within the GalacticVerse will be put as a reference point, as each story will tie together with the other to create one gigantic world. I will put up a Thomas community as well as a hub for all of my stories that take place within the same Thomas world.
- The First Warriors has begun: this rewrite of Red vs Leaf follows Red, Leaf and Blue as they battle against Team Rocket and each other. The rewrite is to accommodate a more enhanced plotline that will play a role in Galactic, Kris vs Gold and Eight Easy Steps, as well as future series. Currently up to its fourth chapter.
- I'll have returned to my semi roots by writing several Thomas Railway Series books to help set up my eventual new series. Wellsworth Engines, The Great Western Way, More About the Tramway Engines and BoCo the Diesel Engine have been released, and expect titles based around the Peel Godred line, Narrow Gauge railway and the Arlesdale Engines.
- The Scarlet Engine is my FictionPress account. My first original story is up there, titled Greenstone, so check it out if you've got the time :D Perfect for fans of my Thomas work. It is up to its fifth whole chapter (Quarry Quarrel!) http://www.fictionpress.com/s/2971937/1/Greenstone

I would just like to say that due to my schedule, I only have time for my own work. I do not accept requests for stories of any kind.
