Inform! I summon you! Profile!

Name: James
Aliases: Lemur, olin_aarbek (for e-mail), Gravaja Umbros
Gender: Male
Age: 21 at the time of writing this
General Information:
While writing this, I am about to leave on a mission for my church. This means that I won't be able to do anything with this account for two years. So by the time you read this, information such as my age may be out of date. However, since much of my profile updates were to talk about what new anime and manga I've discovered, it probably won't be too out of date, since I won't have time for that either on my mission. No, really, I won't watch a single episode or read a single page. I also won't be able to write any stories (even drabbles) while on my mission, let alone post them. So, really, you won't be missing anything in that regard.

I am 100 percent otaku (obsessed with anime/manga/Japanese culture). My favorite anime shows include, well, lots of stuff. Alas, I don’t have enough money to buy much anime, so I haven’t seen nearly as much anime as one as obsessed as me should have. The line at the top of my profile is a reference to Final Fantasy: Unlimited (which, while one of my favorites, doesn’t make my number one favorite spot), which I have seen all of.

I have written (or at least started writing) but not posted fanfics for:
Psychic Academy (based on the manga, not anime)
Sailor Moon (taking place after Stars, and don’t you laugh at me for being a 21 year old male who likes Sailor Moon, lots of guys of all ages like it)
Stargate SG-1(Season 8, brings back Janet Fraiser withOUT using time travel, ascention, or alternate universes).
A Metroid/ Halo/ Stargate SG1 crossover (taking place after Metroid: Fusion, with all characters from Halo and Stargate SG1 already dead of old age, with me just using parts of their universes)
Kingdom Hearts (which crosses over with lots of other things)

I’m addicted to fluffy stories, and am in general not very fond of dark/tragedy stories (I like my happy endings), and do not like yaoi or yuri stories. I won't comment on people who do like/write yaoi or yuri stories, just saying that I don’t like them and won't write them.

I have a little sister who also writes fanfiction regularly, (see 6/15/06 update). She has began posting a very fine KotOR novelization using an LSF Revan, and a series of drabbles for Avatar: The Last Airbender (which I may occasionally contribute a drabble to) in which Momo gets paired with everyone, and a one-shot for Dynasty Warriors (it's rather dark, based off of rather light gameplay, which causes massive OOCness. Check it out if you want, but honestly it's probably not for most people). I also write original fiction, mostly fantasy, but also sci-fi and sci-fi/fantasy and everything has at least traces of romance.

Okay, there's really surprisingly little to say. In less than a week I'll be off to the Missionary Training Center, and three weeks after that I'll be in Colorado. I've been really busy preparing to go, and, as said before, I'll be gone for two years. Keep reviewing, and my sister could mail me your reviews (though I still won't be able to respond). I'm also posting up a final story (well, it's short enough I'd hardly call it a story, but whatever). Hmm, oh, and Shugo Chara is awesome. Yeah, I've gotten addicted to another magical girl series (though this one has magical boys too. And the girls are in elementary school. You know what, I'm sounding creepy, so I'll just be quiet now). And I think that's it. Be sure to check out my sister's stuff. It's all awesome except when it sucks. Just kidding, it's all good. Anyway, enjoy my stuff while I'm gone, and I'll see you in two years!

9/8/2008

Okay, I'm going to do a proper update to my profile soon, but until then this will have to do. I have been called to the Colorado, Denver South mission (English speaking), and I leave mid-November. I am no longer taking requests because of this, and once I leave I will be unavailable for two years. So, any messages you want to send me, send them now. I've also posted up a fic requested by Eliannora, titled "Chessmatch". It's a Super Gals! fic, RanxRei pairing, please check it out.

3/3/2008

So my last profile update was almost a year ago? Dang. Anyway, you may notice some changes. I noticed that my actual profile was on the bottom of the page, so I moved it up to the top. I updated/rewrote a lot of stuff in my profile, and I dropped the request thing, as I wouldn't have time for it. I also added more to my favorites section, though I doubt anyone really cares about that anyway. As to why I won't be doing requests, I'd hate to get halfway through writing something and then have to abandon it. You see, I just need my physical exam, and then I'll be able to (finally) submit my papers for my mission, and will be leaving soon after that. As said before, there's no way I'll be able to work on fanfics, let alone post anything, while on my mission. I know that "Detention" is still waiting for the epilogue, but that's almost done and then "Detention" will be completely over. If I do somehow find myself with free time before I leave I may write out a YYH one-shot that's been bugging me, but probably not. I'll post the last part of "Detention" once it's done, and I'll probably update my profile once more before I leave to say where I'll be going, reply to any reviews, and then this account will go into stasis for two years. I'm leaving it up so people can still read my stories, and even if I won't be able to check until I get back you still should feel free to review. I'll see it eventually. If something happens on my mission that you guys need to know about (for example, if I died) then it will appear on my sister's profile (Elina Trevisan). So if two years after my last update you still haven't heard from me, check with her. Well, make that two years and a couple months, as I could extend, and then settling back in will take precidence over fanfiction. Finally, some shameless advertising and pleading. I don't care how old any of my stories become, I would still love to hear from you in the form of reviews. If you first discovered it when the last review was four years ago, or you run across it again and realize you never reviewed in the first place, go ahead. Really, it'll make my day. My sister's fanfic for KotOR, "Some People Change" is going well, and I highly recommend it. Also, I wrote a guest chapter for "Momo is a Pimp", pairing Momo with Toph, so you should check that out too (that whole story is hilarious). She also wrote a one-shot for Dynasty Warriors. It's very well written, though it's not really my thing. If you like senseless violence, or you've ever gotten more than a thousand kills and wondered what enemy soldiers must think of you, then go check it out. But other than that, it's probably not for you. And one last quick personal note, my brother got married a while back and he and his wife are expecting their first baby at the end of April. I'm going to be an uncle for the first time, and they'll be having a boy.

Hey, everybody. A number of my readers have just gotten some responses to some very old reviews. I was going through making sure that I'd replied to every one, so even if the review was old enough they probably didn't care I still had to reply to it. I have some obsessive-compulsive tendencies that way. I don't actually have OCD, but I have a much rarer disorder called Tourette's Syndrome, which is sometimes misdiagnosed as OCD or ADD. Yeah, if you've heard of it chances are you've heard it makes people swear uncontrollably, because the two times I recall mention of it in movies that was all they mentioned. That can happen, but only 3 percent of people with Tourette's Syndrome do that. It more commonly manifests as facial ticks, a desire to touch things, or obsessive-compulsive behavior. Tourette's did give me the worst stutter I've ever seen on anyone when I was younger, but I got speech therapy in first grade. (Seriously, you know how Quirrell stutters in the first HP movie. He had nothing on my stutter.) I've been watching verious animes on youtube. Onegai Sensei and Onegai Twins were both great (I prefer Sensei) and I've watched bits and pieces from all sorts of others. I've also seen all of the latest seasons of Stargate SG-1 and Stargate Atlantis except for "Sunday" of Atlantis. If anyone know a site where I can watch that episode please tell me! I also updated the actual profile part of my profile, to show I'm 20, and moved my couples section up with request info. In the future I plan to offer readers a few ways to get one-shot requests out of me, so I put up the rules for requests, which are subject to change. I think that's all for now. Bye!

12/19/2006

Hello again from the Lemur. Well, I (finally) posted chapter 6 of "Detention". Two more beta-readers have gone AWOL, so I'm still looking. Final Fantasy XII rocks. You know the whole 'leave on my mission by New Year's' thing? Yeah, not gonna happen. I have a number of health problems, so even if I submitted my papers they'd probably say I wasn't fit enough. I can understand that. So, I'm trying to get healthier (is that even a word?) but I doubt it will happen any time soon. TheOneAndOnlyT was kind enough to beta-read my Golden Sun songfic, so as soon as I get around to fixing it I'll post it. TheOneAndOnlyT is great, you should read his stuff. It doesn't look like this Christmas will be as nice as some Christmases in the past, but I'm still excited. I've also been hanging around youtube lately, looking at anime AMVs and stuff. Believe it or not, but I only recently heard of youtube. Umm, I guess that's about it. Oh, wait! You all need to visit mages (dot) freehostia (dot) com. No www, just http:// at the beginning. It's a webcomic run by a friend of mine. Yes, this is shameless advertising. I've been promised a cameo in the comics as a moogle. w00t! Okay, that's it for now.

9/20/2006

I realized that I haven't updated my profile in forever. Well, "Detention" is doing well and is on chapter 5. It looks like everyone (well, mostly) wants the curse broken. So barring some surge of reviewers demanding that I keep the curse it will be broken. I have also had not one, but two volunteers to beta-read! It makes me so happy! So, um, news. Hmm. I've been kind of slacking off writing further in "Detention". Sorry. But reviews are the best way to motivate me. What has been going on in my life lately? I haven't been getting much computer time because my sister (you know, the one I mentioned before) is being homeschooled with this online school thingy. And when she's not on one of my parents usually are. I really don't know what to say. Oh, I know! I reserved a copy of Final Fantasy XII! I can't wait until it comes out. I would've also gotten Dirge of Cerberus (I think I spelled that right) but I have no money. Well, at least not enough. I don't have a job and don't get allowance. I would get a job but with so little time before my mission (I'm hoping to leave by New Year's) it seems a little pointless. Maybe an odd babysitting job or, well, there aren't really many people around here with lawns to mow, but just odd jobs. Maybe that could give me the financial boost to get some more games and anime. Well, I haven't really said much but this update still looks long enough, so I'll stop here. Bye for now!

6/29/2006

Chapter 3 of "Detention" is up and running. That was a really hard chapter to write. In my notebook it looks like about half of every page is scratched out because I needed to reword, or just leave out. It was so frustrating! But I'm very pleased with how it turned out. Then, I had a problem loading the chapter from my computer to the website, and then our web went down! (Stupid dial-up) Anyways, things seem to be working fine now and chapter 3 still got out way quicker than chapter 2. Chapter 4 still has a ways to go, so I'm not going to guess at when that will be coming out. Hopefully not too long. And I can promise things will start to get very interesting! Other news, I've been watching Ah! My Goddess (or Oh! My Goddess, or Ah! Megami-sama or Oh! Megami-sama, however you want to say it) lately and have gotten totally hooked. No, no fanfiction planned for it (I haven't had even the smallest plot bunny, but hey, you don't have to fanfic everything). But who knows. That's it for now. Bye!

6/15/2006

As I promised "Detention" was updated. Also, I have already written a fair amount of chapter 3, although I did it by hand so it still needs to be typed up. And my sister has created an account (finally), her user name is Elina Trevisan. That's it for now. Bye!

6/9/2006

Hello again, everyone. Well, my last profile update was definately more ambitious (in terms of updating my story) than I was. Sorry 'bout that. "Detention" will still be continued, hopefully sometime today. It seems that I may not have a beta reader anymore though, so I'm just going to put up the next chapter ASAP and if someone wants to be my new beta-reader they're more than welcome. I probably won't be posting a Golden Sun fic after all (at least not anytime soon) because relatively soon I will be going on a mission for my church (I'm Mormon), and will definately not be able to post anything during those two years. Heck, depending on where I get sent I may not have hot water, let alone internet. And who knows what may have changed by the time I get back. I wont be leaving for a while yet (probably at the least 2 months), and I promise to finish "Detention" before I go.

Profile Update: 1/13/2006

Hello to everybody! My first story here, "Detention", has been really well recieved. It makes me so happy. And so many of the kind reviewers asked me to continue it that I decided I would. I will try to have a new chapter up during the weekend, and may have another chapter out on Monday. Monday, by the way, is my birthday! I will be 19. Also coming soon, a Golden Sun fic. This will be action/adventure and romance. And in case you didn't look down at my favorite couples, yes, it will be a mudshipping fic.
