ote: Uh... if no one's noticed, Cynic and Mashu are the same person. That is, they are creations/alternate personalities of the real person behind the computer. In reality, Real Life Geek is more a cross between the two: cranky, antisocial and smarmy, while always on the lookout for fanfiction fluff, a little hyper and super annoying. Oh, and with a really, really twisted imagination. And an uber pervert.
Watch out for:
1. Night Wizard one-shot (Renji/Elis) Because the ending was bollocks.
2. The conclusion to Suikoden Crackpot (eventually)
3. More NaruHina Naruto fluff up the ying yang
Note: Be wary of having us on Author Alert. We're no longer known to have one main media (which used to be Golden Sun). We'll tell you what we can be bothered to write about:
Naruto
Golden Sun
Tales of Symphonia
Fruits Basket
Chrno Crusade
2x2 Shinobuden?
Azumanga Daioh?
Suikoden V
Busou Renkin

Lord Cynic: "Fudge me, thanks to my crappy webbuilding techniques you no longer have a stone wall of typing to go through! Actually... you still do. Eh. The website with the majority of my previous info is www.lordcynic.tk . Whew, took long enough!"
Website update: 09/05/08 (Updated Couples page)
Note to all readers and reviewers: "As of now, I won't be lenient when demands are made for updates to my stories. Fanfiction writing is not a paying job, it is a hobby. I don't have the obligation to set deadlines and always be expected to follow them. I know I procrastinate a lot, but for Christ's sake, I'm not the only one. Lay off a bit, or despite my current status, I will be taking deliberate breaks. That is all."

Lord Cynic: "... Yeah, figured I could use one after all. It's mainly to post fanfiction updates and progress... so, yeah." Note: If you are a LJ member, it is recommended that you actually start reading my entries. It will explain my status, and my reasons for lack of writing and updates. But be gentle.
Lord Cynic and Anime: He is not picky when it comes to dubbing or subbing. The way he looks at it: Dubbing is good for when he's busy (i..e., writing) and can't pay attention to the subtitles, otherwise he'll almost always watch subbed anime. However, the loser doesn't know what's good dubbing or bad dubbing...

General fanfiction information
Genre preferences: Drama; angst; (perverted) humour (Cynic); Humour; romance (Mashu); Action/Adventure (both)
Fanfiction style: Extremely lazy - both of them. Mashu dominates the written portfolio with fluff after fluff after fluff. Cynic occasionally chimes in with a more thoughtful, depressed or dramatic entry.
Reading preferences: Dark themes, angst (Cynic); fluff... fluff... fluff... (Mashu)
Reading turn-offs: Not telling the pairing in the summary (Mashu likes to know what he's getting into as quickly as possible); harems (usually/especially involving the OTPs); grammatical and spelling nightmares; turning monogamy stories into harems/poligomy stories midway through.
Use of Cynic's fanfics is permitted, as long as:
1. You ask him first.
2. You give him at least some credit.
3. You give him the 4-1-1 on the site you're going to post his stories on.
(Cynic refuse to place this at the beginning of every fanfic, so just take his word for it, okay?)

Mashu's top 15 supported couples
(from Lord Cynic's site. Ranked out of 20 currently supported couples)
1. Naruto/Hinata (Naruto) (Won't change. Wherever the canon goes will not matter in the slightest. Opposites attract like bees to pollen in this case.) (OTP)
2. Lloyd/Colette (Tales of Symphonia) (Will stay here. Game-wise, not quite canon, but definitely something in the anime version.) (OTP)
3. Harry/Hermione (Harry Potter) (Canon material can bite me. Getting our hopes high then sending us crashing to the ground with... what?... ugh...) (OTP)
4. Prince/Lyon (Suikoden V) (Going up in the world) (OTP)
5. Shinji/Rei (Neon Genesis Evangelion) (Okay, I lied. But Mashu is getting hooked on #4) (OTP)
6. Cou/Ren (Elemental Gelade) (It's cliché and the climax takes too long and seems unsatisfying but whatever. >>)
7. Hayato/Himawari (Himawari!) (One of those student/teacher relationships but it's amusing.)
8. Phoenix/Maya (Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney) (Hero and female companion fighting for justice!... cough...)
9. Renji/Elis (Night Wizard) (Mashu has a saviour/princess complex...)
10. Isaac/Mia (Golden Sun) (It's going down...) (OTP)
11. Kyo/Tohru (Fruits Basket) (Tempered male soothed by the ever-glowing female... hmm, sounds familiar...)
12. Kazuki/Yuuna (Maburaho) (Long live the manga... yet it reminds me of Love Hina...)
13. Kazuma/Tsukino (Yakitate!! Japan) (It's an amusing concept... not sure about its canonness)
14. Hakuoro/Eruru (Utawarerumono) (Unrequited love perhaps? But it's good to watch.)
15. Kazuki/Tokiko (Busou Renkin) (The whole anime reminds me of Bleach...)
Potential Additions
Nagasumi/San (Seto no Hanayome) (Mermaids... sounds like tons of fun.)

The Mini GS Crew
Led (more or less) by Mini Isaac, the Mini GS Crew of Mini Isaac, Mini Garet, Mini Jenna, Mini Mia, Mini Ivan and Mini Sheba continually invade Lord Cynic's privacy in his Golden Sun fanfics. Mini Isaac and Mini Mia are the only sympathetic members of the crew - everyone else makes Cynic's life a living mess waiting to happen. Nonetheless, they can be nice... occasionally... on a blue moon...
Current activity
On crusade to get Harem added as a genre (since July 17th 2007 apparently)
Contemplating how to get rid of their writer's blocks for unfinished stories
Trying to rid themselves of writing ruts, period
