Author has written 30 stories for Lord of the Rings, His Dark Materials, Les Miserables, Harry Potter, Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, Star Wars, Megami Tensei, Persona Series, Bleach, and Death Note. Reviews - Please shower me with constructive criticism (I am not above begging). I am trying to improve my writing and it's exceptionally difficult when no one says anything. That being said, I must admit I am a huge hypocrite and do not give constructive criticism unless I feel confident about what you need to improve on. As of now, I am certainly not qualified enough as a writer to give anyone advice. However, if you email me asking me for criticism, I will give you the same disclaimer but I'll try to give you my best shot at feedback. I will also review your story if I love it and feel the need to gush (because you deserve to know how awesome your writing is). The Best Stories You're Not Reading - Persona Elysion by Rayless Night- Without a doubt, the best written Persona 3/4 crossover you're not reading. Spot on characterizations, suspense that will give you an ulcer (it's a good thing), intrigue, am I missing something? Anything by Parron -Excellent oneshots, finely tuned characters (Especially Ken and Akihiko), beautiful rhythm and diction, and round, full plots. 'Nuff said. Thanotopenia by qfisher -Not on fanfiction.net (check out Gekkoukan High (livejournal community)), but a noteworthy writer and an excellent story. It features the plot of Persona 3 but with a grownup cast. You'll be fascinated by qfisher's suicidal Minato and equally intrigued by the adult versions of Yukari, Mitsuru, and (!) Takaya. Personally, I live for the cameos by Elizabeth. Read and you'll see why. http://qfisher.livejournal.com/tag/persona fortunes_emperor by Chibi - An excellent and angsty story featuring Kanji/Naoto set ten years after the Inaba murders. Much of dialogue is set up through text messages between Kanji, Naoto, Rise, and others. Character projections are fantastic, and yes, the happy ending will satiate you. http://brichibi.livejournal.com/177705.html Bleach Waiting by MultipleCyrosis - It's a dud mine field out there, I know. However, if you like Ichigo/Rukia and like to think, this is the story for you. Also, MultipleCyrosis is a fantastic writer in general, so I encourage you to check out his treasure trove. Hammered Down by Tomas the Betrayer- A great pre-series story that features a good chunk of the cast, all of them fully in character. The plot can be a bit hard to follow, but that's what makes it an engaging read. Oh, and if you thought Captain Ichimaru was creepy before. . . A Dress to Die For - Byakuya is top notch in this story. This group collaboration achieved some hysterical moments through immaculate dialogue and characterization (keep an eye out for Byakuya's refined and confrontational nature, it's hilarious). The Ichigo/Rukia subplot is handled well, but I think the reader will appreciate that the story is told through Ishida's point of view (and therefore everyone but him is nuts). Funny, sweet, and extremely entertaining. Read it here: http://moshesque.livejournal.com/270779.html Ice Is Also Great and Would Suffice - Brilliant piece featuring Byakuya and Rukia. Particularly endearing in this story is the theme of healing; Rukia's recovery from her time as a prisoner tenderly works in tandem with Byakuya's 'thawing' into a caring and attentive older brother. http://www.branchandroot.net/archive/2008/06/ice-is-also-great-and-would-suffice/ Shipping Biases: Persona 3: Mitsuru/Akihiko, Aigis/Ryoji. Persona 4: Kanji/Naoto, Chie/Yosuke. Bleach: Ichigo/Rukia, Rukia-Byakuya (sibling love, mostly). I am not going to lie: I friggin love Rukia to death. Don't be surprised if all my Bleach stories have her as a primary or secondary character. Death Note: I love me some 'L' character development. I don't really have a favored pairing, but I just had to say something about L. 11/15/09 Jigsaw is up. I've been a bit fickle with writing this fic, but that's nothing new. I think the motivation to write waxed and waned because of my hesitation with writing Naoto and Near for the first time. I think I'm happy, though. . . Chapter 5 of Pressure Cooker should be up in the next week. Working on Exception, a Byakuya centric story focusing on his relationship with Rukia and the effect she's had on him. It's certainly not a new concept, but I've been wanting to write a serious one shot from Byakuya's point of view for a while. Despite the shortness of this scene, the glee I feel every time I see it is unsurpassed. Yoruichi. OWNS: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fR77Xi2-D_M | |||||||||||
