>>>>> BIO:

I first visited fanfiction by mistake looking for some roleplay forums, I eventually realized how nerdy it would have been had I actually found one that tended to my "criteria".

I returned to the page to see how funny some harry potter fanfics would be ( I intend no insult to fans) I noticed how serious some of these stories were, and I decided to check up on my favorite hand held game, "Final Fantasy Tactics :Advance"

Upon seeing the devotion to some stories (ie the 400,000 word, 800 pound gorilla) I was starting to see that some fan-fiction was pretty damn good. This pushed me to write my story, one that's been bugging me to get written for quite a while now. So, Here I am. I most likely will be only writing 1 story in my Fan-Fic career (It most likely will be fairly long (im thinking 150k-200k words). So I should make it at least something the entire internet wont laugh at (see squirellking and his half-life fan fictions). I don't want this story to abruptly end without any word from me, I dont want to forget about it. I just want to stop the damn story from haunting me any further (I mean quite literally haunting me, I dont stop thinking about what to do next with it). So, Im fine with some people laughing at it, or some healthy criticism, a reader giving his suggestions or thanks is a nice bonus, but Im not here to learn how to write better, Im here to write...If my skills improve, that would be an awesome side-effect. Along with people enjoying my story...Damn that'd be cool.

I really appreciate all the reviews I have received, thanks! My updates might take a long time to... update, but please be a bit patient, I do stuff other than write.

Artists I listen to while writing: (Why you may ask? So I can tell you about the freaking coolest bands ever.)

Slower music:
Bon Iver -- (Skinny love - The wolves, An army man and his self discovery.)
Hammock -- (The whole freaking album "Raising your voice, trying to stop an echo.")
Morning Runner -- (Oceans)
Embrace -- (Ashes - Drawn from memory)
Get Cape. Wear Cape. Fly -- (Could have seen it all)Tim Exile (Family Galaxy)
Godspeed You! Black Emperor -- (Dead Flag Blues)
Seabear -- (Arms)

Faster (Rock and whatnot):
David Sugar -- (To yourself)
Muse -- (Falling down)
Trash80 -- (Whole album "Icarus")
The Sound of Animals Fighting -- (Blessings be yours mr.V)
Foals -- (Whole album "Antidotes")
UNKLE -- (Burn my shadow)
Faunts -- (High expectations/Low results)
She -- (Twilight RX)

Albums that deserve their own section:
For Emma Forever Ago - Bon Iver

A note: If you take the time read "Just A Dream" and review it (or heck even telling me you have read it) I will see to it that I read anything that you have written and do likewise. (Provided it isnt about harry potter, or any other silly things.)

>>>>> STORY(S):

>>>>Masquerade:

I don't really plan on doing much with this, but I would like to experiment with some suspense. I doubt I will update it. But who knows. This might be my new big project.

Dont plan on this section filling up.

>>>>The Last Line: (Working title.)
I am in no way going to work on this, or reveal the plot until I am done with JAD. (Which will take a LONG time.)

>>>>Just A Dream: (New updating system, check the log.)

URGENT!!: Please, please note that this story is under major construction, therefore, all the chapters may have been messed around with and in odd places. I will fix this soon (if there are any errors)

I have gotten a decent amount into my story, the "basic" storyline has been completely written. (Some parts of the body have not been written however) Along with some part having been fully written out and planned.

I will be uploading various drawings of some characters in my story, These drawings might have some spoilers attached to them so dont look at them until you are up to date on my story. (Ive got to do something during lectures at school right?) They will be located at my devart which is linked to: www.tiny.cc/4451u --PLEASE DO NOT COMMENT DIRECTLY ON MY PAGE!!-- Instead use a Private Message

>>> Info:

>>UPDATE: My storyline is almost complete, a few little nicks to fix, but otherwise all my main events have been planned, I now cross my fingers hoping someone wont use my ideas (I don't imply stealing, I mean it as me and another writer having the same idea but me not putting it online first.)

Troy has been chosen to be a Bangaa for several reasons

1: People dont really write Fics from a Bangaa new to Ivalice, I think it would be a cool change. And possibly a challenge

2: The Bangaa race is damn cool, liek srsrly, coolest race in Ivalice.

3: All of my favorite classes fall under the bangaa race, I can say Troy will be changing jobs (Edit: Did I say that? I think I did... Im sure I did...), but I will not say when or where. All will be epic in the end, thats it. (I hope)

>>> DO NOT CONTINUE IF YOU ARE NOT UP TO DATE IN THE STORY

All the arcs range from 1-10 in completeness, this number also applies to how many times it has been checked and edited. Here is a breif explanation of how the system works.

10: Quite a few more Xs after this. Everything up until the end is very vaguely planned.

11: I am SO MAD I CANT TELL YOU THE NAME OF THIS ONE! It's so good but I cant AAAAAUUUUUUUUUUUUGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHH. When you first see it you'll be all like, "wait what?" And then you'll be shittin brix and being all like "HOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOLEEEEEEEY SHIIIIIIIIIIIIT". I cant be any more serious about this.

>>>>>Authors Notes:

Chapters 3-10: The authors notes are all within the chapter.

Chapter 11: Firstly, I would like to ask if there are any characters that seem to be Mary Sue's (or Garys) Please inform me!I need to know these things! Balm! Huge chapter! I think this is how Troy should introduce himself to people. "Oh hello! My name is Troy, I like blacking out". Anyways, With Mocedad gone and the palace after Troy, you can be sure there will be more characters (round ones, that will remain in important roles.) popping up here and there. Why is that? I'm not too sure myself. Enjoy your reading!

Chapter 12:Yo! Well... Im wondering if most of you know whats going to happen next huh? Who the heck is this Moogle, and what does he do? Wait a bit. This chapter marks the end of the first major story arc (The First days.) and transitions into the second called "The Clan". Everything starts to go down...Now... Or in a week or two. Thanks so much for all of your support, keep writing and I promise ill keep saying thanks! (A particularily good deal if I do say so myself.) Stuff dont make sense? Tell me. Otherwise, there is probably going to be a chapter in which you say "That Explains EVERYTHING!!"... And my Authors notes will simply say " :) "

Chapter 13: Im really sorry for the huge amount of time it took to upload this... I have been pretty busy. Anyway, stuff going down. And expect a long fight scene. I think I cheated you guys with this chapter, it was flat and dull. The next one should be better.

Chapter 14: /\/\/\ This was probably a lie since I cant write action sequences for the best of me... Thanks for reading and be ready for more updates soon.

Chapter 15: Well, that just pissed around with the minds of people who dont know what final fantasy tactics is huh? Notice any story inconsistencies? I havent, but I'm sure any of you could. Anyway I am so excited for this chapter. Also I would like to know what you guys think about any character dev for Zhai and Vince. P.S.? Vince is especially proficient with his gun is he not? Makes you want to question his past, no? (Bwar-har-har)

Chapter 16: Man! Writing is getting tougher and tougher. Constantly re-re-re-reading to spot inconsistencies. So, Zhai, does she really "dig" Troy? Hmm? Just wait for the silliness to continue.

Chapter 17: Today I initialize my promise to write 3000+ words a week (EDIT: AHAHAHA more like 2000 amirite?). Yeah it seems like a ton, and I may miss a bit here and there, but it boils down to... 500+ every weekday and 1000+ weekends on a good week. So, whatdya think about that? Now, with that out of the way... Boom goes the dynamite. This chapter, is just... man alive this chapter.

Chapter 18: So about that. To get really technical, my story takes place in the alternate reality (Past Earth/Terra) as it was depicted by the great Grimoire (The book). I'll get more into it later (For the sake of spoilers). Something else you should be aware of is that I am making both FFTA and FFTA2 prettymuch the same place. Also be ready for some action really soon.

Chapter 19: (Update will be out shortly)
