Update for 7/16: Getting stuff done. That Jenna/Alex took way damn longer that I thought it would, but I was really happy with how it came out. Sweet Dreams got up too, and that and MTJATE are my biggest priorities right now. That and reviews: I busted out about seven today, and have six more lined up for tomorrow. I always fall into a rut when it comes to reviewing, because I like to be really extensive but don't have the time to be, and want to review as much as I can, especially the stuff that doesn't get as many reviews. Bleh.

Also, hit over 20 fics posted (pats self of the back, proud of you!), but I still feel crappy about getting no multichaps done recently. I'll try to get back on that.

Update for 7/4: Well... there goes the neighborhood. Two/three weeks of a whole lot of nothing. Bleh. I need to get some reviews up, and will have a new fic up hopefully tomorrow. It's been nice having the time off, because it was getting towards feeling like I had to write rather than I wanted to, and that's never a good place to be. I actually did get a lot of stuff going (another one shot, and half of MTJATE), both of which I'll also try to get up soon. The current fic I'm trying to get done is a Jenna/Alex (lovvveeeee this ship) set before DD but after TLA. It gets fairly... interesting. I've had the idea in my head for a few months, and realized I had never really gotten around to writing anything Jenna/Alex, so viola! It should actually be pretty long, too. It's at about 6,000 words and has a quarter left I think.

Update for 6/14: After a week with no fics, I got a rather large one-shot up. It's a Jenna/Felix family fic, and while I'm not quite happy with it, I'm not sure why so I'm posting it. Uh... MTJATE is so late I don't want to think about it. Whatever's left of the schedule is burning somewhere, or flying in the wind; it just didn't give me enough time to work on anything BUT those four multichaps, and for better or worse it's gone. I was more concerned with keeping a constant output of writing, and since I'm doing that (about 9 updates/new fics in 30 days, I'll take it!), I'm fine with slowing down the multi-chap updates. I might turn to focus on them shortly though, we'll see. I also in general need to edit the profile a bit, possibly tomorrow. So... cheers!

Update for 6/11: Changed my Avatar to Halloween Sheba, because I wanted to changed it and sadly the other one didn't look as good with the new site image thing next to every fic.

Update for 6/6: Haha, not even close to a week. Anyway, I've been focusing more on one shots and some of my lesser-updated fics because... I have bad writers block for anything else. I really need to get MTJATE done, but I got 2,000 words in and not much else happened. I've really been having fun writing Alight, and want to get further into its story, and I need to updated Glass soon as well. In general, I'm trying to get back to an update/post every 3/4 days, which I've kept up for the last one, so... yay! I want to keep it so that my four main multichaps get updated in order, but there might be more stuff in the middle. All of this gets completely thrown into flux if I get a job, so, that's how it's going. Hopefully MTJATE gets updated soon.

Update for 5/18: Errr, close to a week? So, as people may have noticed, I've actually started updating recently, and am going to try to keep it up as the week goes on. My... tentative goal is to update everyday for a 8 day period, including the two fics I have updated. We'll see how that goes. I really, really need to get Benevolence finished, Something Worth Waiting For updated, and I'd prefer to get another update of Alight somewhere in there.

Update for 5/8: Hahaha, on time! Super! So, getting somewhat back on schedule, but it's been hard due to finals. You see, mine are very spread out, and as such the last three weeks I've been pretty busy. I only have work left for two classes now though, so I'm in a good position, and hopefully I can get AGS out by Thursday and LoV up Sunday. After that? Updates should be completely back on time, if not at a higher rate than before. Expect more oneshots and some of my fics with more sporadic schedules (Glass, Benevolence, Alight) to get updated sometime in May.

Update for 5/1: Once again, close to a week. Alas. So, I got SWWF out, which is good. I should be able to theoretically get a lot of work done this week, but we'll see how it goes. MTJATE is due by this Sunday, and I'd like to get a new PS and a new fic out. And possibly another one-shot. Yep.

Update for 4/22: I mean, I guess it would make more sense to, you know, just wait till two days later to get the week schedule back on track, but (shrugs). So, I've been bad. I was supposed to update on last Wednesday and today, Sunday. I'm still aiming to get SWWF out, but I just have had no motivation. I was fearing when it would turn into work to keep a schedule, and it has. I need to re-make it a priority and get back on it; it's turned into a "when/if" it happens rather than a "getting done!". Another issue is I really want to get through a bunch of one-shots and such but have no time to do so or if I try to do so it derails me (glares at Just Friends). I'm also sick (somehow only the second time this year at college), so my sleep and general demeanor has been off. I'm really going to try to get back on a schedule, I apologize for the issues. I have about 1,000 words of SWWF done, and I should be able to get a 5,000 word chapter out today.

Update for 4/10: Whoo, actually made this one weekly! Haha! So, getting closer to my schedule being back on track. Sadly, I had to ruin that partly by posting an new multichap. I should, should be up to date by this weekend, or at the latest next week. I also want to update Benevolence, but we'll see when that happens. I also added a new segment to the In the Pipeline Section: Estimated Total Chapter Count. It seemed like a smart idea, and even though I'm probably underestimating on all of them, it's what I'm aiming for with each. I also would like to, in time, post a listing of fics that have already been posted describing what they are about and such. No idea when, but it seems like a good idea.

Small Update for 4/3: Switched my avatar, because that picture of Karis is effin adorable. It's also my desktop's background, and will probably always be as such. So cute. That's really the only purpose to this update. :D

Update for 3/31: Man there is no way the last one of these happened thirty days ago. Time is going so quickly. So, some may have noticed a drop-off in my schedule... it wasn't intentional, but the latest chapter of AGS was huge and ate up about 6 days of writing. Currently I need to start SWWF, and then I have a few oneshots I'd also like to work on... which probably won't happen as I'd imagine MTJATE is going to be freaking huge this week. I'd like to get back on schedule this week, and I should. So, here's hoping. At least I have Friday off.

Okay, I'm updating this so that the main fics are more prevalent and stand out better, because as such it's just too much text. The top priority fics will be put in bold, and preferably near each other. These have been present earlier, but I deleted the weekly update below (whoops, kind of forgot about those), so I shall post this info here: I have four fics that are long-based multi-chaptered fics. A Gentler Steam, More Than Just a Third Eye, Lament of Venus, and Something Worth Waiting For. As of now, I am dedicated so that within every two weeks each gets updated at least once. So, my schedule kind of looks like this: three days go by, update, break day, three days go by, update, three days go by, update, break day, three days go by, update. So, two updates a week and one break day for me to work on one-shots and what not. Or more multi-chaps even, if I'm an idiot (yes, I am). The current order is: Me Than Just a Third Eye, A Gentler Steam, Lament of Venus, and Something Worth Waiting For. So. Yeah. These updates are taking place March 3rd, 2012.

Age: 19

Gender: Male

Location: US, hopefully New Zealand or somewhere on a beach in the near future

Activities I enjoy: Walking (especially at night), writing (obviously fanfiction, working on a novel, poetry and song lyrics), music...ing? (in this case singing and I am getting into music production), video gaming, reading unhealthy amounts of Golden Sun fanfiction, watching competitive sports, and snuggling. I saved the best for last, and snuggling is definitely number one.

Music I listen to: Arctic Monkeys, Kanye West, Gorillaz, Kid Cudi, The Flaming Lips, Del tha Funkee Homosapien, Pink Floyd, Martin O'Donnell, The White Stripes, in no particular order. Primarily Pink Floyd, Kanye, Arctic Monkeys, and Gorillaz in that order. As you can see, very, ah, divergent musical tastes.

Bio: I'm a college student, pretty lost as to what I'm going to do with my life. My overall mentality is to go with the flow, and move on when the flow starts going the wrong way. Swimming upstream is bad news. Along with that, I'm pretty relaxed as well as open minded. I don't see the point in judging other people. We're all screwed up, might as well take care of our own problems that try to cause more for others. I'm an isolationist, escapist, and hedonist in that order. For better or worse, I spend most of my time alone, lost in my thoughts or in music or writing. I wouldn't recommend being any of the three, all are horribly unhealthy, both mentally and physically. Logically, my mind tells me I should probably stop, but the alternative would probably be substance abuse, which I despise pretty heavily. No drugs for me! Ho hum. I'm pretty awkward, which is fun. Most people hate awkwardness: I embrace it. Human beings are really awkward, there's no way around it.

Fan-fiction info: I strictly read Golden Sun. The reasoning is simple: I love the games to death, and they set up a lot of things to be expanded upon or explored. Also, if I read fanfiction from any other property (if I did it would be either Zelda or Harry Potter or both) the substantial time sink that is fanfiction in my life would probably destroy my schedule. Like I said, hedonist. No control. I read about any kind of genre with Golden Sun, my favorite stories being shipping that has purpose within a greater plot, and humorous stories that manage to be funny while still keeping characters in character (at least partially... :P). I also (obviously) prefer well written stories, but I don't judge writing skill as long as effort is visible and it's readable. Like I said, I'll read just about anything. I'm a big shipping fanatic, and am a-okay with any shipping as long as the author can make it make sense and not screw up the characters in the process (IE, if Karst and Felix are in a relationship, she does not turn luvy duvy, she's still angry and brutal to a degree). Of course, I have my own preferences, being:

Favorite (main) Characters: *Mia, Felix, Jenna, *Sheba, *Alex, *Karis, Sveta, Eoleo, Drunk Himi (don't ask). (I really love them all, though. Even Kraden.) The starred ones are super favorites.

Favorite Shippings: Mia/Issac, Jenna/Issac, Mia/Alex (Screw Camelot for making Alex Mia's cousin), Mia/Felix, Feizhi/Ivan, Jenna/Felix (if it's done right, which is rare, as it's a touchy subject and the taboo it is laced in must obviously be addressed and be a big part of the story), Kay/Felix, Jenna/Ivan (not nearly enough of this), Jenna/Sheba (best shipping in the series in my opinion), Sheba/Felix (If she turned 15 right at the start of The Lost Age, it's not that creepy. He jumped off a freaking Lighthouse. How much more obvious does it get?), Jenna/Alex (one-sided is all right, but when two sided this is my second favorite shipping), Piers/Felix (makes sense), Mia/Garet, Sheba/Piers, Saturos/Menardi, Karis/Matthew (fourth favorite pairing), Karis/Tyrell, Karis/Amiti (yeah, pretty much Karis with anyone :D) Karis/Sveta (third favorite pairing), Sveta/Matthew (This is the only thing more obvious than Lighthouse Shipping. They shared souls. That's like spirit sex. Doesn't get more legit than that. *cries at the fact there will never be canon Dawn Shipping*), Himi/Matthew, Himi/Rief, Amiti/Matthew, Amiti/Eoleo (this would be so damn funny), Veriti/Alex, Chalis/Alex, and who could forget Nowell/Piers? Yeah, and people thought Sheba/Felix was pedophilia. Just ignore the centuries old Lemurian getting it on with one of his friend's teenage daughter. If this is canon and two sided I'm sending Camelot a gift basket. Not saying it couldn't work, it would just have some awkward bumps along the way.

Writing: I mostly write shipping fics, but in all honesty I right just about anything and am trying to get away from writing so much shipping. Literally, all kinds of story topics. If I'm writing a multi-chapter fic, I like to get some chapters done before posting, simply so that I know I have a stock built up and can edit like hell. Editing is fun for me, unless I can't tell what's wrong. Then it just pisses me off. I'm at a point where I have a lot of free time to write, and I'm taking advantage of it. This also lets me edit rather than post after finishing, and even edit after posting (which is harder to do for multichaptered fics, but still). I tend to write in bursts. My updating is eh. When it's done it's done.

In the Pipeline:

More Than Just a Third Eye (probably going to be renamed as this title sucks): A short multi-chaptered fic, Matthew is asked by Karis and Sveta (who are dating) to talk to Himi, as she had remained distant from the group and they want to make her part of it. Matthew, however, has his own problems, and they wind up coming out in said talk with Himi. One and a half sided (meaning one person likes the other and the other person kind of likes them back) Zephyr Shipping (Karis and Sveta) and Dawn Shipping (Matthew and Karis), as well as two sided Spirit Shipping and a surprise two sided ship at the end as well.

A Moth to a Flame: Gigantic one shot, dealing with Isaac and Jenna's relationship through a bit of the years between the Boulder and the second Sol Sanctum Raid, but mostly from the beginning of the first game to the end of it. Very angsty.
Rating: T, for angst, violence, swearing.
Genre: Romance, Angst, Drama
Main Characters: Jenna, Isaac
Last Worked On: Late September
Total Word Count: 10,072 (Told you it was huge!)
Current Status: Can you say, "needs editing?" And it's not even done yet. I need to cut out a section, though, because I realized it doesn't work. This needs a lot of work, know idea when it will end up posted. Hopefully in less than three months. As much as I want to write this break, I really should take a look at things that need a crapload of editing, namely this.

The Twilight Solstice (once more, probably going to get renamed): Long multi-chaptered post Dark Dawn fic. A few original characters. Starts off with Matthew finding a way to save a sick Sveta's life.
Rating: T... I guess? It might get moved up eventually.
Genre: Action, Romance
Main Characters: Matthew (pretty much everyone to be honest)
Current Chapters Completed: 3
Estimated Total Chapter Count: 150-200 (long. ass. fic).
Last Worked On: January 29th
Words Per Chapter: Man this will vary. I'm aiming for 3000-5000, but it will get higher at some points
Total Word Count: 11,541
Current Status: Can you say, I got an idea stuck in my head and it exploded onto MS Word? Seriously, wasn't even considering this fic until it just kind of happened. Um. Might take a while for this to be posted considering I have no idea what the plot line will look like at this point. Some good things going on in the first chapter. The first part of the story involves a defense of Belinsk and Matthew traveling to Imil to get Hermes Water for Sveta. Some... surprises in both cases though. Um. Yeah. No idea for a release date, but it will come when it comes. Had a HUUUUGE chapter one that is now two chapters, which reads a lot better, but have yet to even think about editing. I still really have no idea for the overall plot, and need to come up with it before writing anymore, in case anything needs to get tweaked. I have a lot of cool things going with light and dark Psynergy and such, but it all needs clarifying as well. It's coming along. I'm excited. Been thinking more about the plot recently. Started work on chapter tree. Kinda sad it turned for shippingish than I wanted, but it happens, I guess. Also running into a slight issue with original characters, as they are very present in this fic, and I kina get this vibe they're not the most loved. In all honesty, one of the main characters is original. I'll strive to make them well done, and NONE OF THEM will be plot devices (HIMI). I still need to map out the plot for this. Good news: finished a prologue for this as well, which I like and should be posted sooner rather than later. Edited prologue, did a bit more for third chapter.

A Barrel O' Felix: What was originally a one shot completely revolving around Felix being crammed in a barrel to hide from Nowell is now becoming a short multi-chapter fic.
Rating: T for light sexual content, and language.
Genre: Romance, Humor
Main Characters: Felix, Piers, Nowell, Sheba, Jenna
Current Chapters Completed: 1
Estimated Total Chapter Count: 4-6
Last Worked On: November 28th
Words Per Chapter: 3000-5000 possibly. I really don't know.
Total Word Count: 4761
Current Status: So, sat down yesterday, wrote all of this fic as it currently is now. It's pretty much Felix not wanting people to realize he was in a gay relationship with Piers, and thus hiding from Nowell, but then running into Jenna and Sheba... which leads to some Lighthouse Shipping. :D Worked on this more, first chapter near postability.

Trial By Wind: Karis-centric fic dealing providing a darker look at her character, past, present, and future.
Rating: T/M (haven't decided) for Violence, Blood, Sexual Content, Swearing, Mature Themes and others
Genre: Adventure, Angst, Romance
Main Characters: Karis, Ivan, Sveta, Matthew
Current Chapters Completed: 0
Estimated Total Chapter Count: 15-25
Last Worked On: February 4th
Words Per Chapter: About 5,000
Total Word Count: 2,208
Current Status: On the back-burner. Too much on my plate, and this one needs a lot of sculpting to turn out the way I want it to.

Golden Sun Expandum: Multichaptered, a retelling of the Golden Sun series in more or less novel form. Follows the main plots with small tweaks and a lot of expanded material. A few Original Characters, but not many, and even then mostly in the prologue (which is a bunch of events that take place before the second raid on Sol Sanctum). Multiple themes, expands on the characters, their pasts, motivations, and the world around them.
Rating: T, for sexual themes, violence, swearing, drug-use, amongst others.
Genre: Adventure, Romance, Angst, Action
Main Characters: All of 'em.
Current Chapters Completed: 2
Estimated Total Chapter Count: 100-150 (big)
Last worked on: October 28th
Words Per Chapter: At this point, about 5,000 a pop. That will probably expand the longer it goes on.
Total Word Count: 27,594
Current Status: First two chapters are pretty set, got stuck on the third but already have a chapter for later on written up. I'm now working on this again, which is good. The third chapter is still giving me fits, but I'm soooo close to the end of it. The issue is that I'm not sure how excited I am to write the few chapters after that. We'll see. I'll start posting this once I get about five chapters done. Ugh. I need to finish the third chapter. This is a goal of Thanksgiving break. The goal failed. Bleh.

Future Projects (recently cleaned up so it's actually readable):
-An Isaac and Karst fic focusing on Karst's feelings toward Isaac. Lots of angst.
-A utterly ridiculous fic where Felix tries to dress up and pretend that Piers is a woman he's in love with when the group returns to Vale, as gay relationships are banned there. It goes about as badly as it sounds it will.
-A Sheba/Felix ship taking place during their journey during Lost Age. Deals with cultural differences, and brings up touchy subjects such as underage sex and relationships where there is a large age gap.
-An Alex/Jenna fic spanning all three of the games. Two sided, which is sadly a rarity.
-A fic in which Mia begins to dream of sleeping with Alex, and it among other things slowly begin to destroy her relationship with Isaac. Might actually have a sad ending, which is odd, because I traditionally end everything happily.
-Some kind of Dark Dawn continuation fic
-A Sveta/Matthew M rated story. I've always been interested how this would work with their different biology, and it would probably be pretty cute and then even more cute because it would be pretty awkward. Also, some people have been requesting this, so I figured I'd fill that void to the best of my ability.
-Multiple others I forgot about and will list here when I remember
