Lo and behold, the divine, celestial and stupendously beautiful shrine of the KitsuneOverlord! Here be psychotic monsters about though, so tread lightly and carry a big damn stick.

Me? Well, I'm just your friendly neighbourhood Class-A Alien Entity, you see. There's nothing special about me at all, really.

Well, if you insist...

I have come to this world for entertainment. I found my own realm to be sadly lacking, so I left and searched for something more amusing, and, indeed, I found such a thing. FF.net! Ah, I've spent quite a few enjoyable hours here, reading all these delicious fics that are just teeming with talent and wonder.

Well, some fics are. I must admit that there are quite a lot of trash around, but, meh, the Path of Entertainment is fraught with the occasional period of boredom and frustration.

The first fandom I came across was that of Ranma½. I was hooked. Sure, I hated the ending, but the manga itself was awesome. It is, without a doubt, my #1 favorite in the area of manga and anime. Strangely enough, I like Ranma½ even better as fanfiction. Go figure.

I did suffer some strange form of psychosis for a while and worshipped Dragonball and all of its terrible incarnations, but have since then left that behind me. I do sneak a peek at the blasted realm of the UberPowered Saiyajins when the mood strikes me, but that happens very rarely nowadays.

However, after having re-read Ranma½ about twice and skimmed through DBZ, I felt the Hunger strike me once more, and this time, I put my teeth into the World of Naruto. I had found my second favorite fandom! Indeed, though the series does have its flaws, it is unusually well-suited to fanfiction, so I often stalk the Naruto Sector for those rare gold nuggets that show up every now and then.

It was after I had started to read Naruto that I realized... I liked manga! After so many frustrating years of comic books that again and again failed to amuse me, I finally found something that fit my aesthetic tastes.

My Crusade for Entertainment had begun. Full-Metal Alchemist, Elemental Gelade, BLEACH, Shaman King, Mahou Sensei Negima!, Claymore, D.Gray-Man and many others... I conquered them all.

Then I discovered crossovers. YUM. My desire for more burned strongly and I scoured the Earth for additional riches. Found some good, found some bad, but overall, I came, I saw, and I decided that it was worth the hassle.

I liked, and still do, Ranma½ fanfiction the best. In fact, I'm probably a bit obsessed with that particular fandom. Don't know why, I'm just that damn fond of it. As such, I routinely scan the web for fics, but alas, so many of them are not worth my time. My tastes can sometimes be rather... peculiar, to put it simply, and I am quite hard to please.

It doesn't help that I hated the mainstream pairing of Ranma½. Am I an Akane hater? No, the show wouldn't be the same without her, I just object to the stupidly concocted 'relationship' Takashi cooked up between her and Ranma. Now, pairings aren't really such an important thing to me, but when I read something that has some level of focus on that subject, I want it to be at least somewhat beliavable.

And I just cannot imagine how Ranma-x-Akane is supposed to work. I just can't. Humor/Adventure/Romance story or not, the way those two interact... A loving relationship? Hell no. The only reasonable explanation I can come up with is some form of brainwashing...

This is a problem since 80 percent of all extensive Ranma½ fanfiction uses that pairing.

Highly. Annoying.

Ehem. Enough with my ranting about That.

I am a Ranma-chan fan of the highest order, and I say so without a single shred of shame. Why do I like Ranma-chan? Hard to say exactly why, but I just find the idea of a short. cute little redhead with Ranma's personality and abilities to be amusing beyond words. It is really too bad there are so few good Ranma-chan fics out there... And so many of them aren't being worked on today. For example, Togashi Gaijin, the man/woman who created Relatively Absent, is no longer active, and has even deleted all of his works! And worse, he/she/it scoured the net and removed ReAb from pretty much all the archives... Damnation! Though, I still've got a copy on my portable harddrive... There's no way I'll let such a masterpiece completely disappear because Gaijin doesn't feel like letting it remain on the net. Pththth! So there!

As you might've noticed, I hate it when Author's remove perfectly good fics. Seriously, is it really such a chore to leave the damn things be?! Sheesh! Talk about selfish. It's not like it will hurt them...

Speaking of annoying things, what's up with the flood of bad yaoi/slash/yuri fics attempting to drown FF.net? I mean, seriously, most of those fics makes no sense whatsoever, and only appear to be some kind of venting method for horny yaoi fangirls and even hornier yuri fanboys. There's little to no reading value in those works. Is it too much to ask for them to redirect their slash to AdultFF.net? Half of these same-sex authors really, really skirt the line of what is allowed to be posted here. Some, quite a few actually, outright ignore it and post crap that's like a really bad porno flick from the 80's or something, just in text form. The fact that some (most) slash pairings are just painfully stupid doesn't exactly add any popularity to the genre.

A lot of you people probably knows how utterly aggravating it can be to sift through dozens and sometimes hundreds of bad yaoi fics to find a single good hetero one. I'm not saying slash is inherently bad or anything, I just don't like it and I simply can't understand why such a large percentage of slashers behave as if they're regularely swallowing hormone and aphrodisiac pills...

Need help with translating ninjutsu/techniques into Japanese? Call me, I might be able to help. I have some miniscule experience in decoding kanji and such, but Japanese is a PAIN IN THE ASS to learn. I don't know much about it at all, but I'm pretty good at using various sources on the net to figure out the meaning behind the names of attacks and abilities that are written in Jap. Especially if they're kanji. Sources on that are bit easier to use than katakana/hiragana... Mostly.

Don't worry about disturbing me, I don't really have all that much to do these days. I'll probably have quite a few moments to spare...

CHALLENGE

In case someone is actually reading this, I thought I'd post a challenge... Maybe someone, however unlikely, might be inspired?

Anyways, to the challenge in question...

It's often a used thing in Ranma fanfiction that Ranma is more emotionally liberated in female form, and this is often taken further by making 'her' more sensitive in general as a girl.

My idea was that Ranma, being very much in control of his male body, might be significantly more vulnerable to the girls (Shampoo, Ukyou, Kodachi, etc) seduction attempts if made when he's in girl form. The basis for the whole thing was that one day, Shampoo glomps Ranma-chan and notices that unlike all the other times, she finally gets a noticable positive reaction and realizes that while Ranma knows how to contol himself while male, he has no freaking idea of how to do so while female. Knowing this, she sets out on a quest to harass/seduce him as often as she can while he's female and wear down his resistance by being as cuddly affectionate as she can. (Alternatively, one can use the older route of having Genma somehow screwing up/manipulating it so that Ranma's libido is deactivated (as girls are weak and detract from the Art!), while not affecting his female form)

Of course, this being the Ranma-verse, and Nerima, no plan survives contact with the enemy. Ukyou and/or the other girls also notice this soon enough, and joins the fray. Poor Ranma has no idea what the heck is going on but is secretly starting to enjoy all the attention. Akane, being canonically of the opinion that girl-girl relationships are ÛBER-PERVERTED(tm) decides (for a change of pace) to protect Ranma-chan's virtue against those lecherous, depraved bitches! Which in turn generates even more chaos than normal.

If you wish to add to the chaos, you can make it so that some of the guys notice as well. If Daisuke/Hiroshi notice, they might (being pervs) try something... Or just tease Ranma for shit and giggles. Having Kuno finding out that Ranma-chan is weak against such things can also be used, though I doubt anyone could write Ranma-chan not being disgusted with Kuno being that close to her... Still, it might add a lot of humorous scenes, especially if Akane or the other girls tries to 'protect' Ranma-chan from whatever guys that are interested, without alerting Ranma-chan to all the craziness going on.

For pairings... Well, who knows? Personally, I doubt Akane would end up the winner in this particular contest, given her feelings on the curse and all that (furthermore, she's overused. Other pairings are much rarer in comparison). More beliavable is Shampoo or Ukyou. Ultimately, there isn't really a need for a set-in-stone progressive/final pairing, as this is supposed to be more humor/romance (without going the total crack route) than drama/romance.

Interested? If so, PM me when you post your fic and I'll gladly take a look at it.

I don't really expect anyone to take this up, but, meh, I can always hope, can't I?

And I now introduce... LightningHunter's Rant! (If you dislike profanity, you might not want to read this. This guy certainly knows how to curse... _)

Dear people, if you are reading this, then you are either very bored and decided to read my profile, or you love reading anything by me, even a rant. Hmm...most likely the former.

What I dislike most about fanfiction is the unimaginable load of shit you get on this site. I'm not hitting at the site, they merely let other people view it.

One thing, bad grammar and spelling. If you can't write, don't. You make yourself look like a stupid little fuck who can't do anything. Have you ever read a book where they spell badly? No? Have a think why. Because no one would read it. Those who do read your badly written fics are the ones who think the fic could be good, or just read anything, or enjoys laughing at retard writers. And don't go bitching about how you need a beta. You don't need a beta to check grammar and spelling, just get a decent word processor and use a bloody spellcheck!

Second, the unimaginable OCness of characters. Thousands of fics, and don't try to bitch to me and say it's not true, because every character becomes OC nowadays, or self-inserts with the names of characters. If you have a solid storyline that proves their OCness, (e.g. for some reason we don't know, Itachi never slaughtered his Clan, so Sasuke isn't all angsty. That's all right, just give a legible reason to why Itachi never slaughtered his Clan). Fanfiction is things that would never happen usually, but you're not being a fan if you screw up characters.

Third, no originality. Every time I go through -or perhaps, a better word would be, sift through the loads of shit on the pages, to find every now and then a rare gem, I always discover countless things like "Sasuke's long lost sister" or "Naruto meets Kyuubi who makes him strong". Admittably, I used to conform to this, but that was when I was an unexperienced writer. My fics are bad, I admit it, but what sickens me is that those bastards think their shitty fics are good and then write even more, influencing more...Slash is the same really. Naruto is clearly straight as shown so many times, yet a bunch of yaoi fangirls start having orgasms about Naru/Sasu pairings. Now, if you said Orochimaru is gay, well that's a completely different story.

Fourth, Mpreg (also known as a load of shit). I'll make this short, as I could write about two pages describing how wrong it is. Let's start the list of is anything right about it? Oh wait, it's empty. Mpreg is something made up by a bunch of disgusting people because they get their jollies by thinking of men giving birth to babies out of their arses, even though it is impossible. Let me say that again. I-M-P-O-S-S-I-B-L-E. I'd like to shoot- no wait, that's illegal now, isn't it...hmm, hire people to shoot the sickos who started this revolting load of shit. I'm sure that's thrilling to the fic kids who have been made by this load of shit. "Oh look at me! I was born from a man's arse! And then he shitted after me because I gave him constipation! But it's cool, right!" Heck, if I was a fanfic-kid who'd been born from that load of shit, I'd shoot myself. No wait, I'd shoot the two men responsible, then shoot myself. The sickos who write mpreg are a bunch of psychos who self-harm for attention, rape younger siblings, get raped by their older relatives, and think the moon is made of cheese, suffer from strange deranged phobias (usually of people who could shoot them for their load of shit) and have the mental capabilities of a retarded slug which enjoys salt.

Fifth, when countless slash fics block up the pages of fanfics. I'm straight, and I can understand that some people are gay and enjoy these fics, or you're straight and like slash fics of the opposing sex (hehehehehe), but when you see things like "SLASH! SMUT! PLZ READ!" I contemplate the mental capacity of these authors and wonder if their supervisors know they've broken out of their strait-jackets and have access to the asylum's computers and Internet.

Sixth, when people say "I suck at summaries". If you can't write about three lines, it hardly looks good for your skill at writing a fic. A title is hard, if you want something poetic. A summary doesn't need to be poetic. It needs to be interesting, and summarise your fic. If you can't do that, don't write the fic, assholes. Or if you say, summary sucks but story is good, that means to me, a warning of a crap story.

Seventh, high school fics. Ah yes, I've been waiting to do this one. It is written by a bunch of schoolgirls (or schoolboys on occasion) who think of all their woes in high school, and because of their IQ, which is of course, as smart as a dead hamster (no wait, don't insult the dead hamster. I'm sure it could out-think this lot anyday) they suddenly have the "bright" idea that they should put their favourite characters into this position. Eh, no. You've destroyed everything about these characters, taking away personalities, taking away any special powers, taking away their entire histories and lives. They are now a bunch of self-inserts and OCs. You cannot even say these are your favourite characters, as you have ruined them...you selfish bitches. As well as that, now people are like "The King of this Land" and the "Brave Knight" or "vampire" fics. I mean, come on, get a fucking life you useless shit-eating, raping, muggers that can't even steal candy from a baby.

Eighth, bad romance fics. Yes, something I occasionally guilty of (or will be, perhaps). For example "How could I have not noticed how pretty/beautiful/hot/sexy she was?" Any fic that has that, is clearly not worth reading. Unless that character is blind, and of course they can't notice. Although, then they can't notice now either, unless they've been cured-which of course is something you must explain properly how they were cured. As well as this, the remarkable bad-ness of the majority of Naru/Hina fics and Sasu/Saku fics. The majority of Naru/Hina is either Hinata somehow cracks and gains confidence, or Naruto suddenly notices her attraction. Which, as we all know from their characters, will never happen. Sasu/Saku fics tend to be that Sasuke always liked Sakura, but wanted to stay away so Itachi wouldn't kill her as well. Did Itachi ever say he would? No, you stupid ass-kissers. It's also funny how Naruto's crush on Sakura is dismissed as a crush, when Sakura's crush on Sasuke is clearly "true love". What a load of bullshit. They are almost equal, and to say one is a crush, then the other is. In fact, Sakura's crush is even more pathetic, as Sasuke isn't even part of the bloody village no more. And let me tell you, most Naru/Hina and Sasu/Saku fics are written by those fangirls who remember their own shitty lovelife and remember what it was to be an unpopular girl to have a crush on a popular boy. In fact, the general crushes in Naruto are usually just used as comedy, so don't wear away your filthy fingers typing shit onto the computer.

Ninth, the rest of the shit. Things like: Kyuubi was put under a genjutsu by Orochimaru or was tricked by Orochimaru to attack Leaf. Kyuubi is a frickin' demon. Isn't Kyuubi smart enough to not be fooled by Orochimaru, or maybe because thousands of Leaf nin couldn't stop Kyuubi, that means Orochimaru could control it. Or Orochimaru killed the Uchiha Clan and framed Itachi. Bullshit generally. Orochimaru could have easily gotten his hands on an Uchiha then, so he would have needed Sasuke. In fact, he probably could have gone for Itachi, who wasn't as strong as he was yet. What's up with this Anti-Orochimaru-ness? I mean, I don't like him either, but there's no point on blaming him for everything. What a kind of an unoriginal donkey-raping shit eater would do something like that?

Tenth, ruining pairings. You know that. People are ruining pairings by writing shit. I once thought pairings like NarutoxAnko and NarutoxKurenai was interesting and original, but now people are just chucking them together. In fact, I really hate it now when people just give Naruto a harem, make him super-strong, and write a lot of lemons. Okay, I know now some of you are thinking I've gone gay, but I haven't. It really sickens me when people just gain so much popularity for just writing a fic which is made entirely from a bad storyline and highly detailed sex scenes, usually receiving countless reviews from excited thirteen-year-olds who like to jerk off to the imagery (urgh, nasty mental images). I mean, who gets excited by READING about porn?! The Internet's full of the stuff, don't waste your time here. And if you come here to read about your favourite anime/manga characters getting laid by other favourite anime/manga characters, look for that kind of porn, as long as you're not here! PISS OFF! By the way, yes, I do know there are several authors who can write romance and lemons well, and I'm not insulting them, just the fuckers who write as many sex scenes as possible just to gain readers. Sometimes it's used for humour, and some authors can do that well. But still, there are even more authors who can't do that.

Eleventh, self-inserts, or putting people from the "real world" into Naruto. Just, just...JUST DIE! FUCK OFF DAMN IT! LEAVE THE SANE PEOPLE ALONE! No one would react in such a manner that you get even if it did happen (which would defy every law of science and reality). Hell, Naruto's an animated world! What would that look like if you did enter it?! Tossers! Besides, the people wouldn't know how to perform jutsu, how to do any skill at all?! They'd been whining about how they'd like to go home! And what are the odds of them ending up in Konoha any way? JUST DIE, YOU STUPID BITCHES!

Twelth, to those who are pissed at me because I insulted their fics in this rant. Fuck you. I don't really give a shit, because I consider my duty to piss people like you off.
