Man I take way too long between stories, sorry folks. I've opened an
account on Fictionpress.com under the same name, Irish-Ninja. I'll be
posting original stuff there very soon, but I will still be making
fanfics to, I'm a geek that way. Anyways,
if you wanna know a little about me...
Real name: Liam
Home: the small urban community of Canada
Occupation: Struggling musician/frustrated auther
Hobbies: writing music, stories and poetry
Confessions: I'm a videogame addict, I likely could have my band signed by now if I didn't spend so much time playing SSX3
What music do I like:
I don't know if I can specifically catagorize what I like, I have
fairly broad horizons, but if it helps my current playlist consists of
Thousand Foot Krutch, Sugarcult, Pillar, Skillet, Papa Roach, Saliva,
Econoline Crush, Finger Eleven and Linkin Park
Current Project:
It's yet ANOTHER SSX fic, titled "Invasion" (Happy Collision? Now ya don't hafta curse me =D). It takes place roughly 7-8
months after Letting Go. I won't go too into the storyline, but it's
going to address some of the new additions of the upcoming SSX game
that will be released this fall, and have a lot of new adjustments for
the SSX vets.
What was my motivation for my previous project(s)?:
Psymons' Secret
- Psymon is one of my favorite characters from SSX. I like Psymon
because he makes me laugh (he has possibly the most hilarious facial
expressions in the history of videogames), but then one night at about
2am I got this strange idea to think of his past as a more serious
manner and if it could be pulled off in an actual story, the result was
Psymon's Secret.
The Orange Cat Situation - The ongoing
story of the Orange Cat over the M-comm in SSX3 is always good for a
chuckle, I thought it would be fun to put my orange cat Peanut into the
story.
Canuck Combat - It started off with more or less the
mocking of the Dead Or Alive cast, but actually developed into a
storyline, dunno where it all came from but I'm glad it came.
Snow Trapper - Well, a lot of people asked me to make some kind
of follow up to Psymon's Secret, and I thought the storyline was kind
of fun so I threw it all together into a bowl, zapped it in the
microwave and served it up.
Why do I Fight?: I'm not totally sure where this story came
from. I was playing a lot of Unreal Tournament 2004 around the same
time that I was going through a rather crappy time in my life. During
an online game one of my buddies said "man, at least we don't have to
put up with what these guys put up with lol" as his character was
gunned down in a rather disrespectful fashion, and that got the cogs
and gears turning.
Letting Go: This actually is taking my SSX series and applying
it to a personal account. I was surprised to find a flood of Emails
asking me to do another SSX story, but I had no really new subject
matter as I was heavily distracted with something going on in my life,
so I applied that to my story. I recently had to deal with the reality
of changes and letting my little sister go, so if anything this story
is like a vent for me to help get a grip on those feelings.
Invasion: The last of my SSX stories!... I'd say I promise, but
I can't promise to promise... I hope that made sense. In a nutshell,
it's the final (hopefully) story of my series that spun off from
Psymon's Secret. An estranged SSX superstar has created his own league
and they go after SSX and the crew. More action and aggression in this
story than in my other SSX accounts, but I thought it made a kinda fun
story regardless.
If you had to give your stories a theme song, what would they be:Well,
for Psymon's Secret I would have to say Kutless' Sea of Faces.
Obviously it's a song that didn't fit every moment of the story, but
the words are very relative, plus if you listen to that song during
chapters 6 and 10 it fits very well. For the Orange Cat Situation, I
would say cheesie 50's TV show theme songs like Leave it To Beaver =D
As for Canuck Combat, I actually didn't listen to a lot of music while
writing that because the moods shift so frequently. For The Snow
Trapper it was a lot of darker music like early Linkin Park, Papa Roach
and early Econoline Crush, with the exception of the more mellowed out
and somewhat romantic scenes (sorry to ruin it for ya kiddies) For Why
do I Fight, a lot of more intense hard rock for the combat scenes and
the most possibly depressing songs I could find for everything else
(Finally a use for Wide Mouth Mason and Seether) And for Letting Go,
the theme song would definately be Simple Plan's How Could this Happen
to Me as that song was sort of my song during the events taking place
in my life as I wrote it. For Invasion I actually was listening a lot
to my old band. Manic Drive (www.manicdrive.com... shameless plug I
know).
