About me: Semi-Professional writer in her early thirties shamelessly addicted to Naruto. When I couldn't wait for new episodes or manga to come out, I started writing fanfic! Eeeek! Fanficion dot com is a wonderful place for me to work on my creative writing skills (previously, I was more of a freelance writer for newspaper articles and what not; a very different thing from writing fiction!!!)

Stories in translation:

All that Glitters is now available in Vietnamese, up at:

Zombie Plague is now available in French here:

About my stories:

I write three types of stories:

Serious creative writing pieces like "Ain't Nobody Who Can Sing Like Me," "Song Of Aether," and "Better Off Dead."

Well written humor, like "Must Not Hit Patient In Critical Condition," and "Slut Faced Ho'"

Crack Fiction, like: "No Limes, Lemons, Oranges or Pomelos," and "Catchphrases," and "OMFG! WTF!"

I try my best to have good grammar, spelling, etc in all my stories: but you'll undoubtedly notice that my crack fics are just pure silliness, while my other stuff is a more serious attempt at writing. Hey, I've got to blow off steam somewhere...

Notes: I just have to say, I'm so thankful for all the lovely people who read my stories; it's so much fun to share my fics with you. I hope they brighten up your day!

Awesomeness: Wow, someone wrote a fic just for lil' ol' me! And it totally RULES! Check out Scissorhands by the amazing Silver-Footsteps. It's almost enough for me to think that ItaSaku is the OTP:)

Also, Lady Avaritia wrote this one shot wonder for me: All You Ever Wanted And All that Came Before Now there is some epic-assed awesomeness my friends.

Randomness: HOLY CRAP I HAVE THE SAME BIRTHDAY AS KISAME!!! What does that even mean????

Le Disclaimer: I'll say this once and I won't say it again: I don't own anything or anyone from Naruto, Bleach, or Fairy Tail!!! I don't make any $$$ from writing fanfic! OK? Ok!

Review Hall o Fame

dazynl8: "THANK YOU FOR THE MADNESS OH GREAT CRACK-QUEEN! yes, that's right. I have dubbed thee Crack Queen of the Yosh Ziggy Stardust Tri-state Area. GROVEL MINIONS FOR SHE BE MIGHTY!" (review for "OMFG WTF")

LadyTeldra: "Oh great crack lords of heaven and earth. Thank thee for blessing wings with a perfectly crackish mind. May I forever be in thy service writing reviews for your blessed one. May she continue granting me her wonderful work. ;p" (review for "OMFG WTF")

TheAliensDidIt: "Wings Mercury, you are, without a doubt, one very epic writer. I salute you. Ahem. And that is all, before I run out of adjectives and start gibbering like mad." (Review for "Aint Nobody Who Can Sing Like Me")

xFlawed Imperfectionx: "Ahem. Anyway. I stumbled upon this and stayed up until 3 in the morning to read this. It's that freaking good. The first few chapters I was asking myself if this was "my thing" or not. I have this little bubble of comfort when I'm reading fanfiction. It has to be Sasuke- and Sakura-centric, set in the original universe, during or post-Shippuden, written with a decent sense of competency...etc., etc.

Anyway, it was questionable to me for reasons I can't explain, but by the third or fourth chapter I realized that it really didn't matter whether or not it was in my little fanfiction comfort zone. It was just really damn good, and I needed to read it. That's all there was to it.

Needless to say, I anxiously await the sequel. You have undoubtedly gained my respect as a literary artist, and I will definitely check out your other works...after I get some sleep." (Review for "Aint Nobody Who Can Sing Like Me")

Tukiko K: "Reading this felt so much like reading a rich fantasy. Your writing is beautiful and vivid, yet dark and mysterious. I love it! You in instantly drew me in. Excellent job!" (Review for "Song of Aether")

The Lady Avaritia "I simply don't know what to say. You weaved the words so masterfully and you created such a vivid emotional picture... I'm speechless..." (Review for "Song of Aether")

Principessastarx "Wow. Just wow. This fic blew me away. The first chapter, I was hooked. I don’t know why I didn’t see this earlier and have spent the last few days reading the whole 20 chapters. It was worth it. So much that I’m actually bothering to log on and review. :)

...This fic is serious and poignant, often beautiful, compelling, showing a mature empathy for character relationships, with enough humour to keep me smiling. The plot is laced with hidden mysteries and twists, leaving open questions that are gradually answered.

You portray characters beautifully. The ones from the manga, although with your own perspective on them, are executed perfectly. Your ocs are believable and likeable and the interactions they make with the other characters are well written..." (Review for "Song of Aether")

twinkletoast You know, I really admire how your OC's are not annoying, and I mean that with all the sincerity in the world. Often times when I read some fan fiction with OC's in it, I cringe upon seeing Mary Sues, cheesy or tasteless dialogue, predictable plot, etc. In fact, I usually steer clear away from stories with OC's entirely. But I'm so impressed with how you can pull it off so well, as if the Canon characters actually had kids whose names are Ryuu, Cho, Yuki, Tadashi, etc. I'm growing very fond of them.

I'm most impressed with Yuki's character development - from an egotistical snob to a genuine individual who cares for her teammates...You portray your characters well...

You are an awesome writer. And I'm not just saying that because you're my awesome beta :) Even from Day 1 (ANWCSLM chapter 1 lol) I got hooked. :DDD

Can't wait to read moreeeee. :)) (Review for "Song of Aether")

iluvinusessnar: Cool story. I saw it around on ffnet, but it wasn't until today when I decided to sit down and actually read - I'm glad I did. You write the characters in such a way that, even if some are a little OOC, they make sense. Sasuke especially is interesting to look at. From a cold-hearted murderer and avenger to a broken father and lost soul, he is no ordinary character. I find it also funny how Yuki is described as the spitting image (and persona lol..) of her dad. It's saddening to think that she had to find out about his dark past so tragically. Hopefully their falling-out will heal over time... so they can reunite and fight against the evil villain. :) Sounds badass. Update soon. :) You're a really great author. (Review for "Song of Aether)

Homely : Wow, you are an excellent writer :) I loved this story; you avoided melodrama, cliche, and all that stuff ;3 as a fellow writer I would like to say that I look up to you, and hope that as long as I keep practising I'll someday be able to write like you. Your descriptive skills are captivating :) You most certainly have the potential to be a published writer, in my opinion.

But anyway, yes. Great story, I loved how you kept them in character, and never made their relationship too fluffy or anything. One of the best reads I've had in a while. :') (For "Better Off Dead")

Oh my god, this is why I write fanfic! XD

Attention, attention other fanfic writers!

Here- some tools to help you write better fanfic- please, please use them!

Is your character a Mary Sue? I just found this gem- take the Mary Sue quiz! It is humorous and revealing:)

The very amusing 10 rules of writing fiction.

Also, ever wondered how to properly punctuate dialogue? Well, wonder no more!

A great proper punctuation guide!
And yet another punctuation guide to dialogue! YOSH!

And probably my favorite guide to dialogue, although I personally prefer to use italics to denote internal thought.

But really, if you are a glutton for grammar, check out this lovely guide to quotations too!

Finally, if you are able to digest technical language, wikipedia has the best discussion on single quotation marks vrs double quotation marks I have found so far.

Here is a lovely guide to various and sundry tricky rules of grammar in general:)

These are a few of my favorite things:

My fav crackfic is "No Limes, Lemons, Oranges or Pomelos" I honestly cracked myself up writing it:) "Must Not Hit Patient In Critical Condition" is a close second though:)

My fav serious fic that I'm working on is "Song of Aether." You all would not believe the amount of work I put into this story. Oh my goodness. It's hard to put this fic into a category: it's got humor, drama, adventure, a dab of romance and a touch of the supernatural, but mostly I try to concentrate on making an interesting plot, vivid characters, and an overall well written story:)

My fav couples are:

Sasuke x Hinata. Period. For ever and for always:)

Karin x Ibiki (like best pairing ever? Hello!)

Ino x Choji (I wish there were more Ino x Choji stories!!!!!!)

But really, I'm happy reading almost anything as long as it's well written:)

K, thanks for visiting, enjoy reading and what not!
