Challenges Information

Hi guys. If you've read my latest fic addition 'Challenges' and would like to offer me a challenge, this is what you will have to include in your PM.

Pairings:
Alternate Universe (AU)/One Piece Universe (OPU)/ No preference (NP)
Theme/Prompt/Idea: (Optional, I can think up one if you don't give it, but it's preferred)
Credit/Anonymous.

Your challenge can be anything, and I will attempt any pairing you can think of, though I would prefer more major characters/villains. You could even ask for a scene you may have always wanted to see from my other fics. It's totally up to you.

I think that's about it. Once again, I can't promise I will write your challenge, even if you send it. Also, if a challenge is sent in a review, it will be ignored. Reviews are for feedback and criticism, and that's what I'm looking for. I'd like to improve my writing. Thanks!

Current Obsessions: - Luffy

"What's Your One Piece Doujinshi Personality?" - Results:

You are: Chopper-type.

Analysis:

You feel a craving for love, affection, and attention. However, for some reason, you.are so convinced that you're unlovable that you try to shut others out. This confuses people around you, because, guess what? You're just about the cutest thing since the Easter Bunny and the sweetest thing since C&H. For some reason everyone knows it but you. People love your kindness and your willingness to care for others. Why not let them return the favor sometime?

You are very innocent and shy. Sex is not as important to you as friendship and affection in general, and ultimately you find snuggling up with a loved one the most fulfilling of any activity. You love having attention and care, for instance, having your hair brushed, your nails done, or being bathed. Little things like that become very intimate and meaningful to you. As well they should be-- it's hard to earn your trust, and if you let someone close enough to you to clean your ears with one of those little poky sticks it says a lot about how you feel for them.

You are most compatible with: A Luffy-type has the same sort of feelings about friendship and love being the same as you. A Sanji-type would give you all the love and attention you crave, too..

Advice: Let someone make you their little teddy bear.

Current Fanfictions

I won't bother to list my completed fics or oneshots, as they are below and you don't need any updates on chapter status.

The Quest for the Gomu Gomu no Mi - After a long break, I'm finally working on this fic again. I'm rewriting old chaps to get back in the mood, and then hopefully we can get it finished this time, eh? Sorry the updates are slow, but there are a lot of crap things going on in my life right now. I also (thanks to my good friend Plushie) now have an idea on how to conclude this fic, so woo!!

Chapter 11 - 100 Percent Complete (Posted)
Chapter 12 - 80 Percent Complete (Getting some help from Plushie
Chapter 13 - 20 Percent Complete

Dramatic Differences 1 - Discoveries - (co-written with Plushie and posted under her account) They've suffered so much and turned out so different, and yet finding each other may be the key to recovery. Zoro's never met anyone quite like Luffy, and Luffy's never met anyone as interesting as Zoro, in fact, he's never met anyone at all! ZoroxLuffy SanjixNami. rated M for adult themes and violence. Just to be safe. Find it here http://www.fanfiction.net/s/3534798/1/ COMPLETE!

Dramatic Differences 2 - Healing (co-written with PLushie and posted under her account) No summary as of yet. Picks up where DD1 left off.

I'm putting a lot of time and effort into this now. I know a lot of people are waiting on this, and I'm doing my best along with Plush to get it done. Please don't nag at us, it doesn't make us work any faster. We're not posting it until all chapters have been corrected. There are 35 chapters to correct.

Chapters 1-11 are corrected.

Chapter 12 - 10 Percent Complete.

Rewrite of Toddler Troubles - You guys know the routine. I'm sprucing up this fic a bit. Particularly towards the end where I think it lagged a bit. A project on the backburner, going slowly.

Chapter 1 - 50 Percent Complete
Chapter 2 - 0 Percent Complete
Chapter 3 - 0 Percent Complete

Pets - AU ZoLu SaNa. The whole OP crew are Pets, under Shanks' care, but when stray Zoro comes into the house, their lives are turned upside down. What kind of mischief could a bunch of animals get into? More than enough for poor Shanks... Not too interesting in this one, but I promised I'd post it again, so I'm working on it.

Chapter 1 - 100 Percent Complete (Posted)
Chapter 2 - 80 Percent Complete (Undergoing Revisions)
Chapter 3 - 40 Percent Complete (Undergoing Revisions)

Dark Truth - After a horrific encounter at sea, Luffy's whole personality is changed. The straw hats struggle to help their captain recover, but how can they help him, if they don't even know what happened? After all, they slept while their captain was tortured... Rating to go up to M by chapter 3.

Chapter 4 - 100 Percent Complete (Posted)
Chapter 5 - 0 Percent Complete (Struggling)
Chapter 6 - 0 Percent Complete

Maybe finding each other will solve all of ther problems... AU - ZoroxLuffy SanjixNami. Possible other pairings. Rated M for voilence, mature themes and language. Just to be safe.

Some fics you should consider reading...

Tom's Workers - A great series of short stories based around Franky, Iceburg and the rest of the gang back when he was an apprentice. I would seriously recommend reading this fic as it is superbly written with some great storylines and all sorts of wonder emotions running through it ranging from angst to humour. It not getting anywhere near as much feedback as it should though which is a shame because it truly is a wonderful collection of short stories based on Franky's childhood. Find the story here http://www.fanfiction.net/s/3186766/1/

Plushie's fics - There are just too many to name and I love all of her work! She's a ZoLu writer, but if yaoi isn't your thing then not to worry, she has plenty of no pairings fics too! If your a ZoLu fan then come on in and take a look - I'm sure you'll have a blast! She's posted countless multichapter and oneshot fics ranging from angst, to humour, to romance to sap to, well, everything! She's an awesome author and lately, her works have been brilliant. I'm sure her latest fic will blow you away! Her profile's up there, but I'll make it easy for you. Find Plushie's stories here http://www.fanfiction.net/u/1010709/

Treestars fics - What can I say? It's like watcing a movie when you read this girl's fics. You get so engrossed you lose total track of the time. Grammatically perfect and plots that suck you in - like a black hole! Whee~ Most of her fics are ZoLu, but not all of them so both yaoi and non-yaoi readers are welcome. There are once again, too many good ones to name. She's a bit of a drama and angst fiend - like me! Heehee! There's everything from AU's to OPU brotherly fluff between Ace and Luffy here, so I serously recoment you take a look. Find her profile here http://www.fanfiction.net/u/725982/

Boredom in Makino's House - A fluffy little ficcy by my good friend Shiru based on when Luffy was a kid. it's set shortly after Shanks leaves the island for good and has some seriously cute moments. If you liked my fic Toddler Troubles, come over and take a look. now I could make you go up there and scan her profile for the fic, but I'm nice, so I'll give you the link XD. Find the story here http://www.fanfiction.net/s/3232384/1/

Revenge - A hilarious fic, where the entire straw hat crew attend a fanfiction convention in hopes of winning the top cash prize by writing about their adventures; but when they're disqualified for taking their story 'directly from the manga' they start to discover the truth behind this convention, and what the hell is wrong with all these demented authors around them? They'll just have to go to the FFN (fanfic.net) HQ to find out. What crazy problems might they have on the way? I star in this! Along with Plushie, Shiruji-chan, Lanky Nathan and few others! Well worth a read! Only a few chapters up right now, but very funny! http://www.fanfiction.net/s/3372337/1/

Leiyoi's Fics - This girls fics are truly awesome. Very unique and in character and send you on a whirlwind of emotions! You should really go read them! You can find them here! http://www.fanfiction.net/u/454926/

-the-pyro-pirate- - This author is fantastic! Her descriptions are great and her fics have hardly any spelling or grammar mistakes with fantastic plots. Her best fic so far in my opinion is 'Occupation' its an OPU with a twist! Find it and read her other fics here http://www.fanfiction.net/u/1211774/

More to come soon... I'm just too lazy to add any more right now...
