| Blazing Chaos |
Author has written 12 stories for Digimon, and Haruhi Suzumiya series. Well, if you're reading this, I'm 90 percent sure you already know who I am, which is a surprise since I've only written under this particular pen name for a year. Still, it has been a year of drama, of action, of, well, fanfics. Regardless, for those who aren't familiar with my work, I am Blazing Chaos (B.C. for short) and I'm currently writing an epic Digimon Tamers/Adventure saga called Dimensions. As you can probably expect, it's set after the end of both of those series of Digimon, and it covers the lives of our heroes as they grow up, going through terrible tragedy, destructive battles and the foibles of maturity, all the while trying to find the truth about this world they inhabit, the true nature of Digimon, and the true nature of those in their group who are not entirely as they seem. Can they trust newcomers? Is it right to kill? And what does the future hold in store for them, a future which has a strange way of getting in contact with them? Albeit due to lack of time it hasn't been updated in a while, I also write a Tamers 'What If' fanfic called Deviations which regards what the world of the Tamers would have been like if Rika and Takato were the only two Tamers. I live in the UK, hence expect use of British grammar and terminology over the American style. Ask if you don't understand what I mean, or check a dictionary. As for the cultural references, well, some will be worldwide, some will be British, and some will be so obscure that no-one other than I understands them regardless of where they live. I hope you enjoy my stories, my mysteries and my writing as much as I enjoyed creating them. Who am I? Heh, isn't that the greatest mystery of all with every writer? Why they write the way they do, why they think the way they do, and how they are inspired, perhaps not only by television and books but even by events in their own lives? The best writers are those who know why people do what they do, after all. However, I don't know why people do what they do. I can make a pretty good guess at it regardless, and the experiences that life has given me are an endless help to understanding what this bizarre thing we call 'Human Nature' is, and how I can apply it to make realistic characters and events. Rambling philosophical tangents aside, I'm in my late teens and I'm from the UK, as you already know from above. As you may also have guessed, I'm male, and I am deeply interested in writing. I also love deep plots like those in several of my favourite television shows, but I am certainly not limited to that medium, as I enjoy books, fanfiction, radio shows, et cetera. I'm a tolerant, intellectual and optimistic individual overall, or at least I like to think I am. I have a habit of being highly tangential, as you may also already have guessed, which can be both a blessing and a curse in writing, as I'm sure you'll see. On Fanfiction.net, I simply plan to write good stories that interest people, to tell a tale I've had in my head for a while, rather than to be the 'best' (a subjective idea at best) or to fulfill my own desires. I love original ideas, and relish reading stories with a genuinely original plot to them, as well as new takes on old and opt-repeated plots. My Favourites As you may have noticed, my writing on Fanfiction.net is entirely confined to Digimon at present and I don't expect to expand beyond that. I do like other shows but I don't have any plans to write for them, nor do I have as much interest in the couplings, particularly since there usually are not enough characters to really give a chance for a variety of possibilities. As for Digimon however, my favourite coupling is Rukato. As for the others, I'm less set on them but regardless of coupling, I like them to be written well. I also don't mind Jurato, as several stories have convinced me that, when this coupling is written as a realistic coupling rather than a default, it is very good. Some stories, like Crazyeight's 'Tamers Requiem' (amongst some of his other stories) and Black/Regless' 'After Thoughts', manage to do both Rukato and Jurato at the same time in a fantastically balanced formula that feels very realistic. Now, regarding some of the couples, I have one key request from my readers, and that is that I don't want any bickering over Adventure couplings in my stories. For a writer, operating in such an opinionated and difficult environment is frustrating, and if you really want to encourage good writers, be a good reader and take the rough with the smooth. After all, with love triangles like DavisKariTakeru, you can only go to one side by letting down the other, and someone is always going to be irriated. With Dimensions, I implore you to keep reading, however, otherwise you will not only miss out on what is a terrific yarn of tales, but also potentially on further developments in such triangles that may change the playing field significantly. With the Digimon series, I'm (possibly) one of the few people who actually doesn't hate or dislike any of them. Sure, some, like Tamers, hold a special place in my heart and are what I mainly write for, but I still like the others regardless. I also do not mind the dub at all, and hate when people simply put down the English version merely for the sake of putting it down, particularly when the same faults may have been in the original as well. I'm not only a fan of Digimon, of course. Plenty of movies, shows and books appeal to me, including: Doctor Who (and spin-offs, Torchwood and The Sarah Jane Adventures) by Sydney Newman, Verity Lambert, Russell T Davies, and so many others, including of course the BBC Life on Mars by Kudos Spooks by Kudos The Simpsons by Matt Groening and Gracie Films The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya by Nagaru Tanigawa and Kyoto Animation Family Guy by Seth Macfarlane and Fuzzy Door Productions Futurama by Matt Groening and Fox Scrubs by Bill Lawrence and Doozer Friends by Bright/Kauffman/Crane Productions Monty Python's Flying Circus by (who else than) Monty Python and the BBC QI by John Lloyd and Talkback Thames Have I Got News For You by Hat-trick Productions The Now Show by the BBC The News Quiz by the BBC Absolute Power by Mark Tavener and the BBC Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy by (the legendary) Douglas Adams The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-time by Mark Haddon His Dark Materials by Phillip Pullman Angels & Demons/Digital Fortress/Deception Point by Dan Brown Boy/Going Solo by Roald Dahl And various others far too numerous (and unknown to most readers of my profile) to mention. My Fanfics Dimensions is divided into 14 books, although this may change. The parts are as follows, and are accompanied by 'Extra Dimensions', which adds a new layer of storytelling to the saga. There is also an anthology called Stratagems, set during Book Twelve. I'm going through and rewriting a few of the earlier books too. Book One: Links Complete Links between story arcs, people and Digimon define this story. Takato and co head back to the Digital World to rescue their Digimon. At the same time, romance brews in the group.When a creature follows them home and threatens to tear a hole in their group, can odd occurances regarding a member of their team protect them? Book Two: Powers Complete Two years after Links, when the group discover an incredible truth about their team, the battle is taken to the next level. At the same time, they have a go at dimension hopping. Book Three: Evils Complete A war against pure evil begins. As Tokyo is turned into a wasteland, twice, can anyone stop the Demon Lords? Book Four: Gods Complete A new enemy surfaces. As the Tamers fight against a seemingly unbeatable force on two continents, new problems arrive, but as enemies become friends who become enemies, who can you trust when you're stuck alone? Book Five: Demons Complete While one person grapples with the truth, another with morals and another with matters of love and war, can they all face their Demons, both metaphorically and physically, that will change their lives forever? Book Six: Tricks Complete Right when life seems to get back to normal, the Tamers and Angels are thrown into their deadliest battle yet. The choice? Kill the ones you love, or they kill you. Let the battle commence... Book Seven: Escapes In progress The strings of a terrible plot draw together, as the Tamers are forced to escape as far away as possible. They discover death, history, purpose, love, secrets and how deep a bond can run, but the odds are stacked against them, their world quickly vanishing beneath a cataclysmic storm... Book Eight: Parallels Book Nine: Sorrows Book Ten: Darkness Book Eleven: Threats Book Twelve: Truths Book Thirteen: Realities Book Fourteen: Ends Feel free to PM me if you need writing advice, or want to ask about the story (although reviews and using the forums are also a method of contacting me, although avoid off-topic reviews as well as ones that could spoil things for others). And so, I hope you enjoy my twisted yarn of tales, and are both perplexed by its mysteries and surprised by their answers. Keep on reading/writing/reviewing/breathing!
