Author has written 88 stories for Final Fantasy X, Wolf's Rain, Harry Potter, Fullmetal Alchemist, Ico, Legend of Zelda, and Castle in the Sky. MY OTHER PROFILES: For my Fiction Press account and links to all the rest, go to http://www.fictionpress.com/~griseldabanks If you like non-Elricest fics about the Elric Brothers, check out my C2 "FullMetal Brothers." If you like well-written in-character Royai, check out my C2 "So What Do You Say, Lieutenant?" If you like Royai, check out these forums: http://z9.invisionfree.com/Royai_Forum/index.php WORK STATEMENT: I only ever write fics that - at least in my mind - could conceivably happen in the actual story. Whether they are about topics hardly ever broached or well-known subjects, I write them the way I believe they SHOULD be. That is not to say I make the worlds in which they occur totally perfect, where nothing goes wrong and no one dies, but I strive to make it the best that I can, no offense to the actual authors when I turn around something or other in their plot. PLEASE NOTE: I don't know whether this needs to be said or not, but anyone who reads my novelisations doesn't need to have any foreknowledge of the game, movie, etc. to understand the story. My novelisations are all written to get people who don't know anything about the game, movie, etc. interested in the story. Any other fics (one-shots, songfics, etc.) I write on that story won't make any sense to someone who doesn't know the original story, so they should read my/a novelisation first XD ALSO NOTE: I can assure you with full confidence that I am NEVER going to write any fic that involves gay, slash, yaoi/yuri, shonen-ai/shoujo-ai, whatever you want to call it. I can assure you as well that I will finish each and every fic I write, or I will delete it. I strive to make sure every fic I put up is there to stay. I'm also pretty sure that I'm never going to do any crossovers at all, and if I do they'll be only slight and/or will be worked into the world as believably as can be. I've tried many times to do normal crossovers, but they never quite seem to work, no matter how hard I try.

Smaller and meaner. So their secrets naturally aren’t as grand as His, but theirs have got much more cunning... Our only comfort...is that His secret...will in the end have the surprise on all of us." - Gatekeeper, ICO: VOICES, by Peter Eliot "Songs are shaped out of love." - Janiqua, ONE THOUSAND MEMORIES "But the right choices weren’t made by instinct. Wise choices were. But what was wise and what was right were not always the same." - Janiqua, ONE THOUSAND MEMORIES "And if you stand out, no matter how many people you're with... sometimes, you're not really there at all." - Tidus, DREAMFLOW, by Bangles "There's this kind of silence that only exists in the middle of a crowd. When everyone's talking, but you're not really there. And you wish that everyone would just go away, because somehow being with them is even more lonely than being on your own." - Tidus, DREAMFLOW, by Bangles "You could rewrite your past to a certain degree; but you cannot rewrite yourself." - Roy Mustang, THE LUZHIN DEFENSE, by Zauberer S NEWS UPDATES: 12/05/07 - This is an extremely late update, but Someday the Dream Will End is finally finished, for real this time. I've posted all FFX fanfiction I had inspiration for, so probably the next bit of fanfiction you'll see from me will be my next novelisation and accompanying fics. See ya then! 16/06/07 - Okay, so I've been putting up all my Harry Potter one-shots. Some of them are just...appalling...since I wrote them years and years ago. I'm just glad my writing's better than that nowadays. But I've finally gotten to the ones that are actually worth reading (now that I've put up almost all of them). I wonder if I'll be inspired when I read the seventh book... 07/07/07 - (This would have been such a perfect date for Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows to come out! Oh well...) I've started putting up my looooong list of FMA fanfics. The first one was written sometime around late 2005/early 2006, so the writing will start out not-as-good and gradually get better. For some reason, I seem to keep on getting ideas for FMA fics... I admit that I'm obsessed. 03/10/07 - "Don't Forget 3 Oct. 10" Yes, today is FMA Day!! The day to remember the amazingly deep, non-shonenai love of the Elric Brothers. To celebrate, I'm going to put up three Brotherly fics on the same day, something I've never done before. And maybe I'll watch some FMA too... 13/11/07 - Oops, I forgot to put an update here! I've begun putting up my second novelisation, "Piaculum." It's for the video game ICO, and I'm reasonably proud of it, I guess. Check it out! 25/02/08 - Well, after a four-month (or so) detour into the ICO fandom, I am back to posting FMA fics. I just put up "Metal, Jealousy, and Human Transmutation" up today, and will continue to put one up every Monday, if possible. I still have a ton left, and I keep on writing more, so there's definitely more where that came from! Oh, and I also reorganized this profile. Hopefully it'll be a little easier to read, for all the multitudes of people who don't read this. 25/04/08 - I have decided to make another little foray into non-FMA fanfiction for a bit - not as long as last time, though. I'm estimating about three weeks or so. Then I'll go back to FMA XD 06/05/08 - I just realized today that I have put up SIXTY FICS O.O That's a lot!! I don't even think about the sheer volume of all the stuff I've got most of the time, but it all adds up. Wow. I'm flabbergasted at myself. Anyway, I guess I can also say that next week, I'll be going back to posting FMA fics. I'm not expecting any further forays into other fandoms for quite some time. 28/07/08 - I am working through the second draft of the next fic on my list, so I won't be putting up another fic until I'm finished with that. See this as a short break from my weekly posting; I'm hoping this won't take too long. I'm really excited about this fic I'm working on, though, so keep your eyes peeled for it! 14/09/08 - This update is a bit late, but I've now put up my seventy-first fic, Legacy of Loss. It's a chapterfic of eleven chapters, which I will be posting regularly. After that, it'll be back to my normal posting of a story or chapter a week. 12/01/09 - I have now posted fifty fanfics for FMA. Yus, I am obsessed 8D 16/02/09 - Well, my eighty-first fic is the last one I have saved up. So now, any fic I post will be hot off the presses. | |||||||
