Hey there, everyone! Welcome to my profile!

New and final chapter of Play a Hero False has been posted! Now to work on the sequel! It'll be at least a few months before you see anything though, because I want to write several chapters' worth of rough before I start posting it. That worked out very well with the original Play a Hero False.

Also, currently working on the rough of the Striaton Trio oneshot The Famished. Expect that to be out in a couple of weeks. I'm also thinking of working on Gilded Smile some before getting too wrapped up in the Play a Hero False sequel (maybe even -GASP - typing everything up and finishing it? There are only 3-4 chapters left...)

New chapter of Play a Hero False has been posted!It will be one of two chapters left (yeah, that final chapter had to be split in two after all) I know plenty of you have been waiting, so enjoy! Also, it'll only be a week or two before the final chapter is posted as well, since it just needs beta'ing. However, that is not the end of Play a Hero False - for a sequel for Black 2 will be done as well!

Also, I'm also working on a dark oneshot for the Striaton Trio. Will be called Famished or The Famished. Expect to see that sometime in the next few weeks.

Upon re-reading some of my older stuff, I've decided to take down Commencing Overwrite. It's incomplete, is never going to be completed, made no sense, and just showed what a n00b I was back then XD. Preceding Overwrite will stay up b/c it is a decent, if not great, story in its own right, and is actually complete.

Updated 5/1/13

Will be going to Mid-Atlantic Convention in a little more than a month's time, woohoo! And like last Nekocon, I'll be having art in the art show! Similar to last time, the artwork will be mostly stuff related to fanfic stuff such as Noise of Regalement and Play a Hero False for sale. So if you're going too, and that interests you, check it out! Also, there will probably be stuffed bunnies and/or giraffes there as well XP.

Other Stuff

Well, I've finally done it! I've gotten a fictionpress account, and have posted the first 10 chapters of my original work there! If you want to check it out, go here: http://www.fictionpress.com/u/821350/ If you want to leave a review but don't have a fictionpress account to do it with, you can send me a PM here instead.

Also, Padfoot Arcanine did a oneshot request for me recently, and it's awesome, so you guys should go check it out! It's called Just a Matter of Perspective.

King of Bandit Jing oneshot Timeless has been translated into Russian by Anastasia Svora! So for you Russian Jing fans out there (apparently there's more than I ever knew XD) go check it out! Gilded Smile will not be undergoing any translations until it is completed and revised so...yeah, it'll be quite a while.

So you want to know about me? (points to Shauntal of Pokemon Black/White) That's me: the cutesy girl who writes horror/mindscrewy/generally weird stuff XP.

I try to keep my works diverse, so you'll see me in all kinds of fandoms and categories. I have various jokes scattered around in my bigger fics, but the overall plotline is usually serious. There will likely be swearing and blood in my fics. Usually my plots and characters have something strange going on with them, even the ones that look ordinary at first. You have been warned.

I like all kinds of anime, as well as many kinds of games, especially adventure, platformer, and roleplaying games. So these are the areas I will most likely show up in. I love books as well, but I have trouble coming up with good stories based on books.

Among my favorite anime are Pokemon, Digimon, Spiral, FullMetal Alchemist, Paranoia Agent, King of Bandit Jing, Samurai 7, D.Grayman, Kurokami, Madoka Magica, Durarara!, No.6, and many more I currently can't think of at the moment.

Among my favorite games are The Final Fantasy Series (especially FFVII), The Sonic games (especially Sonic Adventure 2 and Sonic the Hedgehog 3 and Knuckles), Pokemon series, Super Smash Brothers series,Disgaea, Kingdom Hearts, The World Ends With You, among others.

Now, for favorite couplings. I've completely written out the names to help clarify, since not everyone is familiar with the coupling names.

ShadowRouge (Sonic the Hedgehog) - one of the first pairings I ever liked, and still like to this day. Two rogues who have the potential to either make the best or worst of each other. The allure is which way it ultimately ends up.

RikaRyo (Digimon) - a hero-type hiding hardship behind his smile, versus a sharp-tongued girl who cares despite her attitude. Sometihng about this pairing always clicked for me.

TakeruKari (Digimon) - As canon as canon gets. Do I really need to explain this one?

AdellRozalin (Disgaea 2) - Also very canon lol. I love the banter b/w the two of them, and how they balance each other out.

AxelLarxene (Kingdom Hearts) - Heh, it's always so fun seeing them annoy the crap out of each other, yet still be attracted to one another regardless...Also, a lot of different ways you can writing this pairing...

RoxasYuffie (Kingdom Hearts) - Ah yes, this one...this is here b/c it happened completely unplanned in one of my story ideas...See An Altar of Heaven, Made of Broken Glass to see just how that occured XP.

LaviLenalee (D.Grayman) - Canon-ish, but probably never gonna happen, which makes me sad - I think these two go together great (and in particular, Lavi needs someone like her reaaallly badly...)

KariyaUzuki (World Ends With You) - as canon as canon gets. These two are just hilarious and fit each other perfectly.

CynthiaLucian / Snazzyshipping (Pokemon) - Another one of those that emerged while I was writing.

VolknerJasmine (Pokemon) - Not canon, but wouldn't be much of a stretch. These two would be so cute XD.

Jasmine- "Oh, I like this Sunyshore place. There's lots of sea and beaches...there's a lighthouse like at home...there's a hot guy Gym Leader just over there...But I can't just talk to him...can I?"

Volkner - "Ugh, I'm so bored with stupid challengers and not being able to work on my Gym more...It only caused a blackout for, what, two days?...Oh, that chick over there's...kinda cute. But I can't just walk over there and say that...can I?"

N/White (Hilda) / FerriswheelShipping (Pokemon) - This pairing is pretty much canon, especially w/ Black2/White2.

Of course that pairing depends on how you interpret White, as well as N. Between the two of them this might be one of the most diversely-written pairings out there...

Cheren/White / CheckmateShipping (Pokemon) - Though I still like N/White better, this is a really adorable and under-appreciated pairing. They're the old friends who grow to love each other. (and semi-canon, if you think about some of Cheren's talks and reactions, such as...)

Cheren: “White! If anything happens to you or Alder, I will do everything I can to help you. That’s why I have to keep training and getting stronger. Just…don’t be reckless, OK?” (dashes off)

(awkward silence afterward)

White: "Uh...(gives a clueless look to Bianca) Why did Cheren just run away really fast?"

Bianca: ...(She still doesn't get it?)

Of course that pairing depends on how you interpret White as well.

There are others, I know there are, but those are the ones who come to mind at the moment.

But enough blahblah, let's get down to things you're really interested in

What I'm currently working on

Gilded Smile - Need to finish rough for current chapter! The current quest and the finale to go. Currently on: Dalios's world part 2.

Play a Hero False - COMPLETED! Now to work on the Black 2 sequel!

The Famished - Rough currently being written!

What I might be working on in the future/ideas

...And there's another Pokemon fic I'm considering, about medium-sized. It involves Team Rocket organization, their glory days as a non-crime service, and people who are trying to recreate that past. Naturally, they don't get along with the current Team Rocket. Takes place in the Sinnoh region. Possible Genres: Sci-Fi/Adventure

Chances of being written: Well, now that GodStorm is out of the picture, there's a fair chance of this happening. But I would have to clear out some of my bigger stories first.

Actually, Godstorm still exists, but has split into two different things. I'm thinking out writing out its most basic form as a three-to-five chapter short story focused on the Sinnoh Elite Four and Cynthia, with Snazzyshipping (CynthiaLucian) and possible Clinkershipping (Cynthia/Flint). Possible Genres: Drama/Adventure/Angst

Summary: The Sinnoh Elite are known for their duty to their Champion, but only Bertha knows the origin behind this fierce loyalty. Cynthia is about to discover the dark truth about her role, as are the others. Should they resist, or is it all part of destiny?

Chances of being written: Pretty high actually - if Play a Hero False doesn't eat up much of the concept itself, and make this story redundant. We'll see.

An old Sonic idea has now mutated into something entirely different, involving zones, multiple parallel universe characters meeting each other, zone cops trying to stop it, and a Sonic with half-gold spikes who is hiding something behind the usual Sonic attitude. To be called Life Limited or Righteous Treachery. Adventure/Angst/Friendship

Summary: One day Knuckles met his Zone Cop for the very first time, and learned the virtue of the rules of dimension. Another day Sonic stumbled upon a crack in space, and learned how to break those rules. Now the two (mostly) friends become further polarized as their natural impulses lead them to different sides.

Chances of being written: Hard to tell. Might have a chance when Gilded Smile is out of the picture, but it may just get absorbed into one of my original stories instead.

For all the The World Ends With You fans out there, I may choose to continue/write a sequel/further epilogue to Krick-KRACK, since the ending was...tense at best. Don't really know what would happen yet, except it would obviously involve Rhyme's plans of rebellion, some alternate universes and would be called Tik-TOK. (If story is continued, Krick-Krack's title would be changed to Krick-KRACK/Tik-TOK.)

Chances of being written: Dunno. Honestly depends on what my TWEWY mood wants to do. It may want to continue this, or start on something entirely new.

Me and a fellow writer want to do a one-shot collaboration fic, involving the pairing of Shauntal and Marshal from the Pokemon Black/White games. Might be some plot, but it'll probably mostly be fluff. We'll aim for 10 stories, and she how far we want to go from there.

Chances of being written: Pretty much guaranteed, as my fellow writer really wants to do it and it will make a fun side project. It's just a matter of when - things are a little too busy right now.

Vaguest of the Vague: These are stories with just the faintest idea for a plotline, and most likely would either be one-shots or otherwise short stories. If one mutates into a real monster, then it'll get added to the regular idea section above. Among these wispy ideas are...

A one-shot/short story with Jing and Rose, set right before Seventh Heaven

A one-shot Jing/Grenadine story

A one-shot humor fic set in Amarcord shortly before Jing's tenth birthday. Might be called Raspberry-Flavored Revenge!

A one-shot crossover between King of Bandit Jing and Kino's Journey.

A Pokemon Colloseum one-shot involving Wes and Rui.

A D.Grayman one-shot about possible explanations of Kanda's sudden rage after the Ark...or maybe this will be a multi-chapter story?

A Pokemon fic with a different take on the concept of Happiness evolution

A Pokemon one-shot about a Deino and its Trainer and the changes the Deino goes through as it evolves

A Pokemon one-shot with Cilan and Erika and a little angst and a lot of general fluffiness -if it doesn't become a part of Play A Hero False instead...

And, of course, there will be various impulse oneshots that will pop up without warning.

Geez, I got a lotta stuff crammed into my brain O_o. And I know there's more somewhere...
