Current Status: I know exactly what I'm going to write next in Of Sketchpads and Shadows AND Off Target, but I have a midterm, three big projects, and a deadline to write three more original fiction stories for, so I am forcing myself to take a break. After December 1st I know I will have time, but there is a good chance that more will get written before that. Depends on how many times I find myself up at three in the morning. I'm also planning a Christmas special chapter in Sketchpads.

Well, heh heh, I guess I should tell ya all a bit about me, hmm?

First off, I'm currently in college, so I have no idea when I'll be able to write anything!

Secondly, I do 80 percent of my writing for fanfics at 3 in the morning or later, just because when I find myself up at that time, my brain is too tired to do work, too strained to think up original fiction ideas, but somehow it manages to spit out fanfiction.

Third, I solumly swear to write about random characters who do not get a lot of stories written about them.

Fourth, I live for people acting out of character. Deal with it.

Fifth, I am strange. I have strange ideas. And I have no problem expressing these strange ideas by totally warping what is assumed to have happened and making it into something totally different.

Sixth, I enjoy fire, so flame away. Flames will be used to fuel the furnace that aides in the production of my strange ideas.

And finally, I'm a sucker for happy endings. So if a character (cough, cough, Shadow) doesn't have a happy ending, I'll write one for him/her. But no worries, I'll try to make the happy endings I write seem possible, no magical revivals of dead bodies. Well, maybe only a few . . . Although my idea for a Leo fic is going to be totally out there and is going to require some major plot manipulation of FFVI. But I will not be reviving his dead body.

Active stories-

Interceptor's Duty- this is what I think should have happened after Interceptor leaves Shadow in Kefka's tower. I mean, Interceptor's goal in life it to protect Shadow (and Relm), there is no way that he would let him die.

Of Sketch Pads and Shadows- a bunch of stories that define Shadow and Relm's relationship. Some from in game, some I made up. In game ones will use dialogue from the game. Sort of a prequel to Interceptor's Duty it gives some explanation as to why Strago and Relm make the comments about family and why Relm is so upset when she finds Shadow gone. Chapter 7 up.

Off Target- Tsaubern won't stop flirting with Bushe and it's driving him mad! Minen comes up with a plan to convince Tsaubern that Bushe isn't interested. T

Ideas for upcoming stories:

FFVI-A oneshot with Shadow and Cyan. NOT A PAIRING! Just two guys talking, one who had his entire world taken from him, and the other who gave it all away. Expected rating K+

FFVI-More Shadow and Cyan, this time Shadow is commenting (to himself) about the differences in his and Cyan's fighting style. Shadow fights with no emotion, Cyan's fighting is emotion. K

FFVI-An analizacion of Shadow's mental state as done by the one and only Setzer Gambini! K+

FFVI-Shadow is having his nightmares and is talking in his sleep. A couple of other characters hear him, and this arouses their curiosity. I know, this sounds generic, but I swear it will have a twist. One chapter per nightmare, and most likely a chapter or two after that. Expected Rating T because of the content of the nightmares

FFVI-This one will revolve around Cyan! But it will relate to Shadow, and will have connections to my fic about Shadow's nightmares. Basically, what if Cyan was one of the men chasing Baram and Clyde? Expected Rating T for blood

FFVI-An AU I guess, basically Kefka didn't manage to kill Leo and the party finds him in the World of Ruin. A sucky summary. I plan to have Cyan and Shadow playing strong supporting character roles. Terra/Leo Yeah, shoot me. Expected Rating T or M for violence and blood

I'd love to write some FFVII fics, but there's only one problem . . . I haven't played the original, seen Advent Children, or gotten past the first couple of "levels" on Dirge. I swear that I will NOT write about what I do not know, so therefore I must play the original game first. Took me two years to find a copy, but I finally did! Thanks random guy at the mall kiosk with games so old I didn't even know what system they were for! Just one more problem, I am at college, the PS2 is at home, 2 and a half hours away . . . I can't wait for winter break! (laughs manically)

FFVII/FFVI- Cid is treating Sherra just like he always does. And he's too stubborn to figure out his own feelings, never mind hers. Enter one assassin--. I warned you all I was strange. Expected Rating T for Cid's mouth and attitude.

FFVII- Cid talks to Aeris in the Lifestream about a problem he's having . . . Expected rating K+ (maybe)

FFVII- Set after Dirge. It's been over a year since Vincent disapeared in the final battle. He is presumed dead. Cid and Shera are going through a very rough point in their relationship when a depressed Yuffie shows up at their door. She stays for a bit and it becomes obvious that she is wasting away because of grief. Well, as much as he 'hates' her, Cid can't have that! He does the only thing he can think of at a time like this, flys off in the Tiny Bronco, taking Yuffie with him on a seemingly hopeless search for Mr. Tall Dark and Broody. This fic will be mostly about relationships, building them, repairing them, keeping them strong. The two big relationships will be Cid and Yuffie's kind of father/daughter kind of brother/sister one (with a bit of confusion thrown in) and Cid and Shera's romantic one. Expected Rating T or M for Cid's mouth and suggestive themes

FFVII- Darn it all to heck! I keep getting these ideas for FFVII but I can't write them untill I play the game!! Okay, this one will be kind of a Christmas special, post AC, but pre Dirge, multi-chapters, following three couples in the weeks before Christmas, up to Christmas day. The couples Cid/Shera (not married, but together), Vincent/Yuffie, and Cloud/Tifa (maybe, not sure). Expected Rating T for Cid and some, err, situations.

Suikoden Tierkreis does not get the attention it deserves! Sure, the game was so easy a two year old could beat it, but the story was good and the characters rocked!

Suikoden Tierkreiss- my idea of how Asad's mage company met the Blades of Night's Veil. Expected Rating T or M for lots of blood.

Suikoden Tierkreiss- Something with the Droman Pirates. Those guys are cool! K+

Can you tell who my favorite FFVI character is? How 'bout FFVII?

Any other ideas are appreciated!
