There isn't much to say about me. My main interests include Kingdom Hearts, Final Fantasy video games, as well as various animes. My favorite animes are probably Naruto, Fullmetal Alchemist, and Bleach. I enjoy writing because it gives my over active imagination something to do so I don't zone out all the time and I enjoy reading fanfictions because its interesting to see how other people will tell a pre-existing story. I've written a few fanfictions and a new one is in the works. I hope to write an original novel some day, but I find that writing with original characters is more difficult than writing fanfictions. If you read my stories, please review, it's the only way I'll improve.

I read more than I write, and what I read is mostly romance. I can't help it, I'm a sap at heart. When I first started looking at this site, I focused mainly on Kingdom Hearts fics because it's my favorite game. Then I spread out and began reading fics for the various final fantasy games, then Inuyasha, Rurouni Kenshin, and Fullmetal Alchemist. But by far my greatest discovery was the fanfictions based off of the anime Naruto. There are so many characters in that anime when compaired to other shows that the pairing possibilities are nearly endless.

UPDATE:

I realize I haven't been very active here for a while, and I'm afraid to say my reasons aren't much different than most of the people on this site, which is a mixture of life, work, and school. The good news is I haven’t stopped writing, it’s just that I’ve been working more on original fiction (which is my course of study at the moment) rather than fan fiction. If anyone’s interested in reading some of my other stuff, check out my blog, Reality Revised, at http://theblogofbrent.wordpress.com/ (or just click on my homepage). Constructive feedback is always appreciated, and the more I get the better writer I will become.

As for any fans out there of my last project, Jinchuuriki: The Power of Human Sacrifice, know that it is not abandoned. After I finish my first novel, which should be later this year, I have every intention of returning to it. I just have to give original writing its due first.

Hope everyone is having an awesome 2012!

Sincerely,

SotSP/phoenix-chaser

My Favorite Pairings Include (listed in order of series and preference within that series):

Naruto/Harem - Not every harem story is good, but the ones that are good are unbelieveably fun to read.

Naruto/Temari - These two have a potential to have a relationship deeper than anything Naruto could otherwise hope for. The first thing is that, unlike most of the other girls in Naruto, she wasn't raised to hate him. The second thing is that she'll never run away from him for having the kyuubi inside him because Gaara suffers the same burden. I could go on, but I'll just say that I think these two are perfect for each other.

Naruto/Sakura - Naruto wants her. I'm not sure why, but he does. Sakura will never get Sasuke, that much is obvious. Putting Naruto and Sakura together ensures the happiness of two people who may not get it otherwise.

Naruto/Ayame(the ramen girl) - This is probably the rarest pairing I have ever seen, but I like it. I can't imagine why more people don't use these two; they're pretty cute together.

Naruto/Haku(female) - In my opinion, Haku always was and was always meant to be a girl. Anyone who says or writes otherwise is a liar. She, more so than any other girl in the Naruto series, knows what it's like to be hated and feared for something beyond one's control. Plus, her calm, collected personality is a nice contrast to Naruto's bright and energetic one. Think about it.

Sora/Kairi - How could they be with anyone else? If you payed any attention to the game it would be obvious.

Sora/Aerith - Not exactly a romantic pair, but it's sort of cute nonetheless.

Sora/Harem - Though I've only seen one story with this pairing, it kicked ass. So if anyone finds one of decent quality, please send me the link.

Ed/Winry - Best FMA couple ever!

Ed/Rose - This is a really rare pairing that I wish I could see more of, but few people ever bother to give it a try. The potential is there, yet no one bothers to realize it.

Ichigo/Yoruichi - Three words...HOT ONSEN SEX. Add to that the fact that Yoruichi is undoubtable the hottest girl in the series (and a nudist) and Ichigo is one of the most badass characters in existance...I just can't find anything not to like about this pairing.

Ichigo/Orihime - Not that unusual a pairing, which in itself is a little unusual for me, but it appeals to my inner romantic sap.

Pairings I'm not particularly fond of (though there are usually exceptions):

Naruto/Hinata - Seriously, does anyone other than me have a hard time with this one? Naruto's too dense and Hinata's too shy. For that pairing to work, one or both of them would need a serious personality change. But then again, fan fiction is good for that.

Naruto/Tsunade - Three words: she's too old! She over three times his age; it brings the concept of robbing the cradle to a whole new level. That and she treats him like a son or a kid brother most of the time. It's borderline incest! For this pairing to even remotely work, she would need to lose at least 40 years, or Naruto would need to go back in time, or something to change the massive age difference, otherwise it's a little creepy.

Naruto/Tayuya - I have a problem with women who swear too much, and that includes reading about them. There have been a few good stories with these two, but most of them just don't make sense romatically...and that's if you find a way around the fact that they're on opposing sides of a war.

Skikamaru/Temari - No offense to the people who like this pairing, but I just have a hard time seeing it. I can see a friendship, but anything stronger and I just don't think it would work. They're too different, and not the 'opposites attract' kind of different. Personally, I think Shikamaru is the type of guy who could happily and easily remain a single bachelor till the end of his days. It'd be less troublesome for him that way.

Sora/Namine - I object to this on principal. She brainwashes him, steals his memories and tries to replace Kairi with herself. It's not exactly the strongest basis for a relationship.

Riku/Kairi - With the new game out, it more obvious than ever that those two just won't work. Also, I'm a strong believer that the hero of the story should get the girl.

Anything Yaoi (no exceptions) - I have nothing against these stories, I just don't want to read them. No straight guy does.

IMPORTANT NOTE: This list will be added to from time to time as some of you have already noticed, but it will also be edited for stories that for some reason or another I think shouldn't be on here anymore. It's nothing against the writers of the stories, I just want to keep up the standards I've set for this.
