Questions or concerns about anything posted on this profile? Feel free to drop me a line!

Greetings, dearest and loyal followers, Kiba here and finally inspired enough to update this profile, and pull my butt out of the dust that is inactive authors on this site. I’ll try to keep this all short and sweet.

For those who are here desperately searching for information concerning Twilight Storm, a.k.a. the most amazing LinkxMidna multi-chapter story ever to be put on indefinite hold, please stop crying over your keyboards and listen to me! The author’s notes I claimed were on my profile are no longer here, I’m sorry for any inconvenience this has caused. Rest assured these author’s notes weren’t particularly important, just updates on the progress of the next chapter, mostly.

That being said: Twilight Storm will continue. Allow me to repeat and explain: Twilight Storm will be continued. Now here’s the deal, I want to finish that story, but something’s been stopping the flow I had going on it. I feel like, given time and just the right thought process at just the right moment, everything will snap back into place and I will once again dedicate myself to the good fight that is LinkxMidna. I’m sorry I have nothing but this lame excuse for that amazing story, which I adore still, and always will—it is my first published story after all!

Moving on to BLEACH. Yes, you read right: BLEACH. I’m attempting to expand my horizons, if you will. I have a unique, if nothing else, HitsugayaxHinamori-based story in the works. Now before I publish that, I’m going to do the same thing I did with the Zelda category, publish a few one-shots to test the water and find my click, and yes I mean click not clique. Don’t ask.

That being said, those searching for Twilight Storm and feeling betrayed by my sudden interest in BLEACH, know that you will always be my favorites—because, hey, you guys were the first. Cookies and hugs to all Twilight Storm loyalists!

If you have any questions, of course, feel free to PM me.

I do not own Legend of Zelda, BLEACH, Naruto, The Crucible, or any other such thing. I mostly own the plot... sort of.

Due to the upcoming BLEACH fics I’m planning on posting, I thought it would be a good idea to list pairings I like within several series I may be working with. Now, if you’ve read my rant at the bottom and now want to call me a hypocrite allow me to defend myself. Supported pairings are really preferred pairings. I’m inclined to read any reasonable, well-written fic (see end note) based on a pairing not listed at least once.

Legend Of Zelda (OoT and TP mostly):

Link and Midna: My first story was inspired by this pairing. Twilight Princess was the first Legend of Zelda game I played all the way through and it all had to do with this couple pulling me through it.

Link and Zelda: Although nearly-never in a Twilight Princess-era story (with the exception being The Hero of Wolves by Wolfess: http://www.fanfiction.net/s/3366412/1/ ); I love this pairing in Ocarina of Time.

:~:~: I love the Beth and Ralis pairing for unknown reasons; the only one-shot I ever wanted to continue :~:~:

BLEACH (anime only):

Hitsugaya and Hinamori: This pairing seems to be one of those, love it or hate it types—sort of like the Link and Midna pairing. I guess there’s just something pure and wonderful about childhood friends.

Ichigo and Rukia: Actually, I believe I like this pairing more than Hitsugaya and Hinamori. I mean, you can really tell Ichigo and Rukia were made for each other (sorry all you Orihime fanboys.)

Shunsui and Nanao: Don’t ask, don’t know.

Gin and Matsumoto: The first time I watched BLEACH, I despised Gin. Watching it again, I’m starting to develop a fondness for this couple.

:~:~: I’ve heard of a Kenpachi and Unohana pairing; that’s definitely something I want to see :~:~:

Naruto:

Shikamaru and Temari: My favorite pairing in this series… hey don’t give me that look!

Naruto and Hinata: Only early on in the series, as in pre-ship. Unrequited love, aw!

Naruto and Sakura: Later in the series, during ship.

:~:~: As for Sasuke: Well… I don’t really care any more. He was a nice guy (sort of) at first, but now he’s just stupid. Sorry fangirls. :~:~:

Tsubasa: Reservoir Chronicles (manga only):

Syaoran and Sakura: How anyone cannot be cheering for this couple after reading TRC is beyond me. Few couples are this sweet, innocent, and enduring.

Kurogane and Tomoyo: Aww. Kuro-tan and the princess. I think most people don't like this pairing because of previous works of CLAMP (since TRC ties in with/cameos nearly all of their work) having alternate pairings for Tomoyo. TRC is my first CLAMP story, so obviously I have no issues with it.

:~:~: A note on the "Kurogane and Fai" pairing: sorry, I don't believe in yaoi/yuri, ever. Plus, this couple isn't quite canon (I saw no love confessions, not even from Fai). :~:~:

That’s all (for now) folks.

End note: Take for example a Rangiku and Yumichika fic—that’s not really reasonable; I mean they hardly talk to each other at all. Conversely a Karin and Toshiro fic (which I’m not fond of but will one day try to read) that has so many spelling and grammatical errors that the only words you can make out are ‘Karin’ and ‘Toshiro’, is not a story I’d suffer through reading.

Quoted from Pikana's profile (http://www.fanfiction.net/u/1674215/Pikana):

"Please say that Link hasn’t killed Sonic and is trying to flush the bloody remains down the clogged toilet…"

"Fox/Meta Knight/Ganondorf. WARNING: I’m on 6 kinds of crack and 18 bags of sugar! DO NOT READ!"

Quoted from Rukia-IchiRuki's profile (http://www.fanfiction.net/u/1940335/Rukia-IchiRuki):

"(we are not soup cans! >:O)"

BLEACH quotes:

You know what I want to do? Throw Rukia-IchiRuki and Merciless Ruby into a pit, shout down: "Who's better: Rukia or Orihime?" and watch the show.

IchiRuki, HitsHina, and (?)GinRan(?)IchiMats(?) fan moments found here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R-GmhtRF78EAt 2:40 -- all I have to say is: Hahah! It's canon now! Also, 5:05 -- that's canon too!

“Who would’ve thought to use stuffed animals?” – everyone in BLEACH seeing a mod soul in a stuffed animal for the first time.

“Come on, take it like a man!” –Kukaku Shiba ~ “I don’t want to take it like a man!” –Ichigo Kurosaki

“Look at you two standing there all romantic like! You’re supposed to be just friends!” –Ririn ~ “What? You don’t know what you’re talking about!” –Ichigo and Rukia upon hearing this comment

“Not this again! I’ll beat you! I’ll beat you alllll!” –Ririn (same episode as the last one I think, same subject for sure)

“Is that a fact?” –Byakuya Kuchiki

“You’re letting your persecution complex get the better of you again.” –Rangiku Matsumoto to Toshiro Hitsugaya

“At this time we’d like to remind you that you should not put mistletoe over Grimmjow’s bedroom door.” BWT X-Mass special!

“The Squad Ten Captain is hereby relieved of his duties as temporary Commander.” –Head Captain Yamamoto (inspiration for Commander in Brief)

Tsubasa Reservoir Chronicles quotes:

"Must resist killing impulse, thought Syaoran." ~ "In your face, Dimensional B--ch." ~ "Sakura kicked her first a-s that day. Memorable moment." ~From Tsubasa Crossover Chronicle

“Yes… Stare all you want from your far away cliff.” –Mr. Long Ears in episode 9

“Let me guess… they eloped!” –Fai D. Flowright talking about Syaoran and Sakura

“You can’t learn everything about anything from a book.” –Syaoran episode 12~

“Forget what you think you know and just gather the evidence.” –Syaoran episode 14

“I am going to get your feathers back for you, but some memories you just don’t get to keep.” –Syaoran episode 18 (Aww!)

:~:~: The anime had its ups and downs, but hands down, the best episode is #40 -- so sad, so heart-touching, I near 'bout cried.:~:~:

Random quotes:

“I’m a detective. I’m sorry I’m not around, but this is what I do!” –Jimmy Kudo to Rachel Moore (Aww!)

"As a druid, I don't condone violence!" ~ "Luckily, as a paladin, I do!" http://woweh.com/?p=556

"You just got b--ch slapped by a book. D-mn!"

http://leasticoulddo.com/comic/20090226 Notice the title of this comic is 'Less Disney, More Legend of Zelda' so what exactly is being said about Zelda in that last panel? You tell me...

Major spoilers for Tsubasa Reservoir Chronicles ahead!

Tsubasa Reservoir Chronicles isn't that difficult to understand. In fact, it's easy!

You see, the Sakura and Syaoran we see in the very beginning are actually the real Sakura and Syaoran because we find out later that the clones are actually Syaoran's parents—yeah the clones of Sakura and Syaoran—anyways, Syaoran’s parents are actually clones, not Fukitaki or whatever his name was with the archeology obsession—that dude adopted the clone Syaoran who later met up with clone Sakura (who wasn’t always a clone, if you think about it, because she split in half towards the second-to-last arc of the manga, or maybe it was the last arc, something like that) and her dad in the clone’s timeline (‘cause there are a few different Clow Countries, when alls said and done) is Clow Reed, which is kind of weird and ironic and seems utterly impossible because Clow’s (apparently) lover was the Time-Space Witch, Yuko, so that must mean Sakura’s mom is… well that’s kind of weird, but we don’t see clone Sakura’s mom so that must be it, anyways back to clone Syaoran, who was trained by Seishiro and Kurogane, by the way, although he grows way more powerful towards the end when he goes evil, only after stealing Fai’s eye though, but on with the story: the real Syaoran is the son of the clone Syaoran and Sakura, as previously stated, while the real Sakura had, well, real parents who are called King and Queen because I’m too lazy to look up their real names, but don’t get me wrong they were important because the Queen was the one who froze Sakura (the real ones) soul in order for real Syaoran to make a wish and sacrifice himself, thus giving birth to the clones, keep in mind though the clones gave birth to Syaoran in an alternate dimension (actually the Yuko’s dimension, which I think is as close to Earth as we come) first, and no these aren’t different clones, the clones simply completed the original journey, found each other after they ‘passed on’ and restarted the events of Tsubasa Reservoir Chronicles again, which really weren’t totally the same because in the end the real Syaoran and Sakura remain together (for a short time) in Clow Country (the true Clow Country) after the clones disappear (only after jumping in and saving real Syaoran and Sakura's life because they were stuck in that giant glass tube) thus stopping any kind of reoccurrence from occurring, keep in mind however that the true events (better known as Tsubasa Reservoir Chronicles) only happened after Card Captor Sakura Sakura appeared to clone Sakura in a dream and gave her the card captor staff thing, which she then traded in later for real Syaoran’s price (at least a part of it) to save real Sakura, in the long run and, once again, giving birth to the clones, who were actually the ones who started the events of the manga, and finally remember that there were three Sakuras and three Syaorans total: clone Sakura, real Sakura, and Card Captor Sakura Sakura; clone Syaoran, real Syaoran, and Watanuki who was created because of real Syaoran’s sacrifice in order to ‘fill the gap’ he left, who for whatever reasons, winds up as Yuko’s slave boy, which is kind of creepy and ironic considering Yuko, in one version of the multiple timelines, was probably Sakura’s mother, meaning her slave boy is Sakura’s lover, in a far-fetched, semi twisted way.

See, what’s so hard about that?

Spoilers end here...

...By the way I don't expect you to actually read that.

Name 12 of your favorite characters (in no particular order) and answer some questions!

1. Sesshomaru (of InuYasha fame)

2. Rukia (of Bleach fame)

3. Link (of Legend of Zelda fame)

4. Roy Mustang (of Fullmetal Alchemist fame)

5. InuYasha (of InuYasha fame)

6. Midna (of Legend of Zelda fame)

7. Son Goten (of Dragonball Z fame)

8. Gaara (of Naruto fame)

9. Sango (of InuYasha fame)

10. Itachi (of Naruto fame)

11. Jaina Proudmoore (of Warcraft III fame)

12. Kiba (of Wolf’s Rain fame)

I think I got most of them at least… Okay this’ll be different; here we go!

1. Have you ever read a six/eleven fic before?

(Midna/Jaina Proudmoore) No, and I really hope I never do. -Crawls into a corner from the emotional scarring this will cause-

2. Do you think Four is hot? If so, how hot?

(Roy Mustang) Yes. Yes I do. How hot? Uhm, hello? Flame Alchemist.

3. What would happen if Twelve got Eight pregnant?

(Kiba and Gaara) … The Apocalypse.

4. Do you recall any fics about Nine?

(Sango) But of course! Nearly every InuYasha fic involves Sango!

5. Would Two and Six make a good couple?

(Rukia and Midna) No. Never. Unless they were just friends, then they’d make a good team, but couple? Never.

6. Make up a summary of a Three/Ten fic

(Link/Itachi) The darkness in Link’s heart is great, and he must find a way to rid himself of the voice echoing in his head. Kill. Kill them all. Perhaps he could find someone with experience to help him…

8. Would anyone on your friends list ever write a Two/Four/Five?

(Rukia/Roy Mustang/InuYasha) I have friends!? I mean, uh, no—with clashing personalities like that all in one fic? Oh, no, no, no. That would the end of the world as we know it.

9. If you wrote a One/Six/Twelve fic, what would the warning be?

(Sesshomaru/Midna/Kiba) Warning: More dog humor than you can handle.

10. What might be a good pick up line for Ten to use on Two?

(Itachi on Rukia) Itachi: -Blank stare- Rukia: -Blank stare-

Itachi: I murdered my clan, work for an evil organization, and have a terminal disease (Spoilers!). Want to go out sometime to make Ichigo jealous?

Rukia: Are you buying?

Itachi: If by buying you mean using death threats then yes.

Rukia: …Why not?

(I think I got a little carried away with that.)

11. Cuter Couple: Five/Nine or Ten/Twelve?

(InuYasha/Sango or Itachi/Kiba) Well, considering I loathe yaoi especially between my favorite characters, I guess I’d have to say 5/9 or InuYasha/Sango (though I’m far from a fan of the pairing).

12. What would six say if they saw eight and three kissing?

(Midna saw Gaara and Link) (Oh, perfect, muahah.)

Midna: -Jaw drops-

Link: It's not what it looks like -- he attacked me!

Gaara: He bumped into me! –Points to that random dude from one of the first Naruto episodes that caused the accidental kiss between Sasuke and Naruto- Sand coffin! –Crushes kid-

Midna: I’m leaving now.

13. How would you feel if eleven died?

(Jaina Proudmoore) Well at least it isn’t my absolute favorite character… But still! She still needed to get together with Thrall! Why cruel fate why?!

14. Which is a more disturbing pair? One/Four or One/Seven?

(Sesshomaru/Roy Mustang or Sesshomaru/Son Goten) Uh. Darn it, why?! More disturbing? I guess Sesshy/Goten because of the age difference, but still either way: EW! Why did I agree to do this again?

15. Would Eight ever want to kill Five?

(Gaara kill InuYasha) Well if Gaara was playing it cool and ignoring InuYasha (thus causing him to grow angry) and InuYasha aggravated him enough…

16. Would Four or Nine ever get sad if Twelve got run over by a car?

(Roy Mustang or Sango, Kiba) Well considering none of them know one another… If they did though, Sango may be upset (depending on how she met Kiba) but I don’t think Mustang would care either way.

17. "(1) and (7) are in a happy relationship until (9) runs off with (4). (1), brokenhearted, has a hot one-night stand with (11) and a brief unhappy affair with (12), then follows the wise advice of (5) and finds true love with (3). "

Sesshomaru and Son Goten (again!?) are in a happy relationship until Sango runs off with Roy Mustang. Sesshomaru, brokenhearted, has a hot one-night stand with (I’m a bit afraid to check) Jaina Proudmoore (oh that isn’t so bad) and a brief unhappy affair with Kiba (spoke too soon), then follows the wise advice of InuYasha (snort, snicker YEAH RIGHT!) and finds true love with Link (I just threw up a little in my mouth).

Wow this whole thing was so messed up that I’m beginning to wonder why I did this in the first place… Oh and just for the record, I don’t believe there was a pair in here I support. Though some of the possibilities are… er… interesting.

If you're a 'The Legend of Zelda' fan, copy and paste this into your profile.

If you think Ilia should burn in Death Mountain so Midna can have Link, paste this on your profile.

If you think Midna was going to tell Link she loves him, copy and paste this on your profile.

If you think Midna should just get together with Link already, copy and paste this.

If you cried when Midna left Link in Twilight Pincesss, copy and paste this onto your profile. Why? Why did she break the mirror? Crying! What? I'm not crying! I have something in my eye...both eyes! (ALMOST twice, but not quite. I got it all out the first time.)

If whenever you see or hear the name 'Midna' you freak out and have a small fit because you love her so much and then people stare at you and tell you to shut up and let it go, post this.
