Current Projects:
Aa! Megamisama!: "Sands of Time" (11 more chapters planned) CURRENTLY ON HOLD
Crossover Fics: "For the Sake of the Art" (Ranma 1/2, AMS, BSSM, RK) (probably 25 percent complete) Arc 1 out of 4 is done.
For a more complete listing of my current works (although some are in progress slower than uh...can't think of anything that would go slower) visit my website @ http://ravennet.cjb.net!
Hi! My name's Patrick, and this is my little corner of FF.net. I'm 17 years old at the moment (as of today, December 15th, 2004) and a second-year in college, majoring in Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering. I'm a hopeless otaku (aren't we all, who write for the anime sections?) currently hooked on Ranma 1/2 and Rurouni Kenshin; heh...blame it on the red hair of Ranma and Kenshin...that attractssome sort of attention....and wipe those hentai grins off yer faces, lol.
*Ranma appears in a whirlwind of confetti and glitter*
Ranma: Damn straight!
Yup. Especially you, Kuno. Anyways, I also practice martial arts, which might explain just why I like these two series so much (incidentally, Kempo and Iai-Do - which is also known as the art of drawing the sword, or, in RK terms, battojutsu. And, no, I didn't take them up after I read Ranma and RK, I actually practiced them before I ever heard of Ranma or Kenshin.) I'm a little short, play the piano...and just ran outta ideas what to tell you. Seriously, my life isn't that interesting. *Glances at a bunch of angry girls in Senshi outfits* Uuuh....right. *Glances to the other side, at an angry hanyou with a big sword*
Ooookay....
I'll admit, I also like using the cast of Sailor Moon and Inu-Yasha occassionally *dodges flying magic attacks*
Inu-Yasha: Occassionally??
All right, all right, I use them fairly often. Heck, it started with a girl in my Iai-Do class making a comment about Inu-Yasha's swordsmanship (which, no offense to Rumiko Takahashi intended, sucks. I mean, the Tetsusaiga is like Sano's Zanbatou, for Pete's sake!). If you want to find out more about that, I suggest you read "The Wacky Adventures of Psycho Ari" down below. *POOOF*
Ari: Paaaaaaaaatriiiiiiiiick!!!!!!
*Gulp* Heh. Now Ari...just hang on one sec...we can talk about this, can't we?
Ari: WHERE'S THE SEQUEL?? YOU LEFT IT UNFINISHED!!! KIAAAAAAIII!!!
*Dodges a sword-swinging master swordswoman* Eh-hehe...I'm working on it...sorta. Aaaahhh! Help! Yikes! *Runs away*
Phew. I have to say, and I think many males out there will agree with me at some point or another in their lives, women are SCARY. *POOF* *Setsuna and Ami appear, identical evil grins on their faces* Orooo....Hehe...what are my two favorite Sailor Moon girls doing here, of all places? *Big anime-style sweatdrop*
Setsuna: Oh, we were in the area.
Ami: And decided to drop by. Ne, 'Suna-chan?
Setsuna: Yup. And you should know something about this guy. *points at me cowering in a corner behind a desk and trying to put a lot of stuff between me and her* He likes being mysterious and annoying. He pulled this cliffhangeron me once...He also likes putting in original characters, all of which are just as sneaky, underhanded and manipulative-
Ami: Not to mention, smart-assed.
Setsuna: And smart-assed as he is.
Now wait a sec, Setsuna! Not all of them are!
Setsuna: As I said, his OCs are all sneaky, underhanded and manipulative.
And you aren't, Ms. I-control-time-and-space-and-know-it-all-and-still-can't-find-a-boyfriend?
Setsuna: ...
Ami: Uh...could we get back on topic? We still have to work out plans for that matter/anti-matter reaction chamber before you continue your next fanfic.
True, Ami. Anyway. Due to the fact that I also spend most of my excess time - when I'm not writing fanfiction, that is - on researching and developing all sorts of stuff (totally harmless! I swear!)
Ami: Yeah, right. As if a GAUSS magnetic accelerator is harmless. Or Matter/Anti-matter fusion.
*Sweatdrop* All right, not so harmless. Not-so-don't-copy-it-in-your-kitchen-children harmless. Some weird sci-fi stuff like a crystalline-matrix polycarbonate compound (based upon Bill Hartwell's Sailor Moon piece "The Demon Hunter's Journal", which can be found at www.macmanusnet.net), said Matter/Anti-matter fusion chamber (gee...Star Trek again), and other things.
Oh yes, before I forget... *snaps fingers*
*POOF*
*The casts of Ranma 1/2, Rurouni Kenshin, Aa! Megami-sama!, Sailor Moon and Inu-Yasha appear in a cloud of smoke*
The pairings you'll find most commonly with me! Actually, let me start with the pairings you won't find with me, cause it's shorter.
You won't find:
Akane/Ranma (or very little. I'm not a great fan of Akane and Ranma. I've seen excellent fics with that pairing, but I can't write them.)
Kagome/Kouga (same reason as above. I can't picture it well enough to write it.)
Belldandy/Anyone-other-than-Keiichi (That's just wrong. Belldandy and anyone else is wrong, wrong, wrong.)
ANY slash/yaoi. (I don't write many R or above rated fics, and I am not a great fan of those pairings. Yuri is only marginally better.)
What you WILL find (aka favorite couples):
Kasumi/Ranma (Perfect couple, I think. The wild horse and the center of calm and peace in Nerima? Some of the best alternate pairing fics
I've read feature Ranma and Kasumi.)
Setsuna/Ranma
Setsuna: *leer*
Erm...right. It seems at times like they fit. They're both lonely, and aren't allowed to show any weakness. He needs someone
wiseandcalm to guide him while she needs someone lively and chaotic to wake her up to life.
Ami/Ranma (Don't ask me where this one came from. Probably read too many of the Ami-is-Ranma's-long-lost-relative fics.)
Rei/Ranma (They make a nice, hot-headed couple, don't they? Fire and fire...heh...just hope I don't burn myself writing this.)
Ranma/Hotaru
Haven't attempted that yet, but they make a cute couple, don't you think? Awww....
Hotaru: *blush*
Ranma: I AIN'T CUTEEEEEE!!! MÔKÔ TAKABISHÂ!!!!
Ouch...
Ranko/Ranma
Nononono....wipe those hentai ideas outta your head. No split personalities here. Ranko/Ranma strictly when they're separated. Ain't
they look nice together, too? I mean, really, they'd be perfect, hehe.
Ranma:Hiryuu...
Ranko: Shôten...
*Gulp*
Ranma & Ranko: HAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Ukyo/Ranma
Ukyo: Yes!!! Thank you!!! C'mere, Ran-chan!!!!
Oh well. Best friends since childhood. Insert your typical best-friends-turned-into-more plot.
Inu-Yasha/Kagura
Haven't tried this one, either, but it sounds...interesting. Should Kagome leave, what would Inu-Yasha do? Makes for an interesting
scenario, I think.
Kaoru/Kenshin (Canon pairing. Not much to say here,other than they looknice together.)
Misao/Kenshin
A little stray thought from the Kyoto Arc. Kenshin and Misao spend a lot of time together, don't they? It leavesthe plot open for a Kaoru/someone else. And I think the itachi would look cute with Kensh...
Misao: DON'T CALL ME A WEASEL!! KANSATSU TOBI-KUNAI!
Owies...seem to be getting a lot of those lately...
Megumi/Kenshin
I know she let go of him at the end of the Kyoto Arc, but let's assume she didn't. Wouldn't they look good together?
Megumi: He's right, Ken-san. I think Watsuki-sama made a mistake there, ohohohohoho
Kenshin: Oro!
Kaoru: Hands off, you vixen!! *charges with a bokken, accidentally whacking Kenshin as Megumi dodges*
Kenshin: Orororoorooroooroooooroooooooooo @_@x
Misao/Soujiro
Hm...a) Misao gets dumped byAoshi and/or getsfed up with his lack of response. b) she decides to go wandering/run away.
c) she runs into Soujiro. d) he catches her on the rebound. Sound logical, ne?
Misao:Aoshi-sama would never do that! Wouldn't you, Aoshi-sama? Aoshi-samaaaaaaaaa!!!!!
Aoshi: ZZZZZzzzZZZzzzzzzzz....
Urd/Kenshin
I know it sounds odd, but I like it.Kenshin, during his wanderer years, travelling alone and trying to come to terms with himself. At the
same time he meets a heartbroken goddess who is trying to do the same thing.Instant romance material, don't you think?
Urd: Well, he is a little scrawny, butdefinitely not bad-looking.
Kenshin: Oroo...
Urd: I'd really like to find out if his fighting stamina can last for...other things....hehehehehe
Urd, no hentai please...get a room.
*The female cast of RK pops up, weapons in hand* Uh-oh...
Female RK cast: Don't you dare give Kenshin away to some foreign girl!!!!! ATTACK!!!!!!
Ouch...ow...eh...orooo....ouchies...owwww....ITAI....
*The crowd leaves, leaving me trampled and worn on the ground* Yup...women are scary...
Belldandy: Oh, my. Would you like some tea, Patrick-san?
Well...that was it for my announcements and introductions. If there's anything new, I'll let you folks know. Oh, and thanks for the tea...
