Author has written 54 stories for Yu-Gi-Oh. Once upon a time, the card Dark Paladin came out in America and a person under the handle of Dark Paladin decided to use the handle "darkrunner" instead. That person was also especially uncreative at creating names, and the handle acquired the nickname "Doc", so that person still uses it to this day. That person wished very much for more Jounouchi/Mai support to exist, so that person, after years of reading all Jounouchi/Mai fanfiction on this website, decided to write some. This person has since discovered there are other things to life besides a single anime pairing, but that pairing continues to be that person's favorite, and that person is still writing fanfiction. That person hopes you enjoy the fanficton you find on this page. A few things about my other entertainment interests: Anime/Manga recently finished: Durarara!!, Shakugan no Shana Anime/Manga currently watching: Yuugiou ZeXal, Princess Tutu Anime/Manga next on my list: Toradora, CLANNAD Book(s) that aren't manga that I'm on: The Kite Runner Movies I've seen recently: N/A Movies I want to see: Cars 2 Favorite pairings: Inoue Orihime x Uliquiorra Stories I'm currently working on: Season 8.5 of the Yu-Gi-Oh! Challenge Pairings Fanfiction Contest! "No Name Face -- Was originally the last 11 or so chapters to "Greatest Fan...", but it felt so much like a separate fic, I just made it a separate fic. Mai didn't kill herself, and now Jou's got to help her cope with the nightmares. Things get more dangerous than either of them would've guessed. In the end, will someone die? Sort of on hiatus, but I WILL FINISH IT. "You Can't Stop the Beat" -- Collection of one-shots inspired by songs from a music player on shuffle. Ongoing. "The Sky Held to My Skin" -- All the polar stuff from You Can't Stop the Beat. Complete. Because I am far too fond on JouMai, I am now accepting request fics! Just note me, and if I like it and have time, I'll write it. | |||||||||
