Penname: Corselli

Age: Not telling. Nya. But I am legally an adult. but only legally. Mentally... that's a different story ;P

Sex: heeheehee, she said sex.

Other Websites: Not many. However, I do have a DeviantArt account on which I am known as Draw4life, and I just made a fictionpress.net account on which I go by Corselli as well.

Current Icon: A smaller, cropped version of this picture I did called "Appa Wasn't the First Choice..."

Personal Goal: To become a better writer. I have attempted to write stories before, but they either weren't very good or I never finished them. However, I'm planning on changing that.

My Inspiration: I find that about half of my stories are written because I am wanting to explore an idea, but recently I've found that the other half are written because I have gotten fed up with stories I've read on here. One such example is Find My Way Home, which was inspired because (1) I didn't find a suitable solution provided to me where the Elric brothers got home rather logically and where they didn't 'just happen to get there', and (2) I had been bugged by a question that had been prompted by the canon movie! I hadn't seen anyone here address it, so I addressed it in the first chapter of Find My Way Home, which can be found here.

If you don't like how it is written, then write your own version of what happened. That's what most fanfiction is: a way to please the masses because no one is pleased with just one version of the story. (Sorry if I am offending anyone with this statement, but it's where some of my stories have spawned from)

Fandoms of Interest: Naruto, Harry Potter, Transformers (movie-verse), Danny Phantom, Pokemon, Avatar: the Last Airbender, Halo: Combat Evolved, Prototype, Psych, and (most recently) Full Metal Alchemist (both original and Brotherhood).

Some of my favorite theories about 'mysterious' Naruto characters:

The Hatake mask is only taken off when the Hatake man proposes to a woman of his choosing. Once she kisses him/accepts, he never wears the mask again.

Shino wears sunglasses and a huge coat not because he likes it, but because he is sensitive to light because of his hive.

By The Way:
One of my goals is to never abandon a story. I may take nearly forever to post a new chapter, but once I have posted a story I will try to finish it.

Ideas: (Stories I have thought up and have either started planning/outlining or writing.)

Prototype: A story that's centered around a group of people in their 20's and 30's who are stuck on Manhatten Island during the viral outbreak. No title yet. In planning/outline/researching. (Note: Prototype is a game for the xbox 360)

Halo: Combat Evolved: Memories of a Future That Could Have Been. A time travel story. It's surprises me how little time travel stories there are in the Halo fandom. So I'm giving my own contribution to the fandom. It's a one-shot, and it's about 90% done. I just have to reference my book and I'm done. Working Summary: He grabbed the assault rifle and turned to open fire—and discovered to his horror that he couldn’t lift the weapon. His arms were small, underdeveloped. His armor was gone, and his body was that of a six-year-old child. [Timetravel]

Danny Phantom/Psych crossover: Ghost Rings. A story inspired by Cordria, an excellent Danny Phantom fanfiction writer. It will be a continuation of her oneshot Ghost Rings, and last I talked to her I had her full support to go ahead. It will be a multi-chapter story segmented in a similar fashion to a one-hour Psych episode. Hopefully this will go over well =D

Danny Phantom/Harry Potter crossover: So far all of the crossovers of this type that I've come across involve Danny discovering that he is a wizard at the age of 15 (or something like that). Well, what if he found out when he was 11? Before he became Phantom? It's being planned and written. I know what I want to include in the story, how it is going to organized, and how it will end. I'm very excited for it. This and Find My Way Home are my current priorities. This will be a one-shot story that's somewhere between 7,000 to 10,000 words (or more?).

Danny Phantom: 30 Days. Is probably going to be a one-shot, but maybe a small multi-chapter story. I'm expecting it to be under 10,000 words (my chapters are at least 1000 words). Current Summary: Danny is fed up. Done. Stressed from school, his parents, and the ghosts, he’s done. So when his parents attack Phantom, he resigns as Amity Parks Self-proclaimed Defender. But are the Fentons able to defend their town without the town menace’s help?

Danny Phantom/Avatar: the Last Airbender crossover: It's Just Weird. Working summary: When Aang died, he died while in the Avatar state. Thus there were no more avatars after him. But when Danny- the boy who should have been the Avatar of his time- turned on the ghost portal, he reawakened a gift that the world thought was forever lost. Rated T for character death. (this is a working summary, meaning it's subject to change) 1st chapter being written, will be posted as I write (unlike other stories of mine).

Naruto: In the Eye of the Storm. A timetravel story that's not focused on the timetravelers, but rather their affect on everyone else. Features a OC genin team, an original village of mine, and lots of confusion. Am writing the 1st chapter/storyline.

Naruto: In His Shadow. I am working on the third chapter, and the first and second chapters have been finished and beta-ed (maybe some more minor editing to go, I need to double check). I haven't actually touched this story since summer started, but recently (as in yesterday), I got out my notebook that holds the roughdrafts of the chapters and attempted to keep writing it. I'm super excited for the story, and I would like to finish it and publish it. I'm hoping to have the story out soon, but I'm waiting until I have typed the final chapter and begun editing before I actually post it (don't count on it coming out soon, since the chapters seem to be 10,000+ words and I'm on the rough draft of ch 3, and I still have about 4-6 chapters to go!). Current Summary: 'Naruto is remembering things he shouldn't know. Memories that put his life and the lives of others in danger...' (is subject to change).

In Progress: (These have more than one chapter written. With the excpetion of In His Shadow, they have been posted.)

Find My Way Home: FullMetal Alchemist story. Post-Movie (Conquerors of Shambala). A 3-chapter story of Al and Ed figuring out how to get back home. Chapter 1: Rediscoving Alchemy- where Ed discovers that Al has secretly been trying to find a way to use alchemy on this side of the Gate. [Progress- Posted] Chapter 2: Rediscovering the Gate- where Ed and Al try to go back home to Amestris. [Progress- Posted.] Chapter 3: Rediscovering Home- Ed and Al finally made it home after 5 years, and now have to find the people they have missed and loved. [Progress- in planning] Summary: 3 years after Al and Ed closed the portal on their side of the Gate, Al and Ed might just rediscover three things: Alchemy, The Gate, and Their Home. A 3 Shot Story

Bedtime Stories: Transformer Story. Based on optimus prime 007's story, centered around Kaceystar. First and Second chapter posted, the third is coming. The third will be the last one. [3rd Chapter Progress: roughly 40%] Summary: Blaze fell asleep when Bumblebee told her about when he and her mother got together. Since she didn't hear the end, she's now determined to find it out, even if it means going to each and every Transformer she knows!

Toast: Naruto story. 1st and 2nd chapter posted. 11 chapters planned, but not written. Collaborative idea with Stalker of Stories. Toast challenge at the bottom. Summary: Everything that can go wrong, will go wrong. Even if it's just the toast falling butter-side down.

Where Madara Actually Died: Naruto story. 1st and 2nd chapter posted. Starting chapter 3 in the next two days. I know what the beginning, parts of the middle, and the end will look like. I just have to write it all down in story format. By the way, I have no idea how long it will be. Summary: AU Dimensional Travel What's this about the Yondaime being alive, the Kyuubi never attacking, and most importantly- a Namikaze Naruto who's not a ninja!

Completed:

How to Defeat an Evil Jiraiya: Naruto Story. AU The only way to stop Jiraiya-gone-bad is in Tsunade's hands. Or rather... her chest. Oneshot. Warning: Major Pervertedness, Death-by-nosebleed. An (rough) illustration of this one-shot can be found here. There is also a redone version of the picture that is now up on Deviantart.

Inside the Stomach of the Death God: Naruto Story. A one shot starring Namikaze Minato after the sealing of the Kyuubi. He doesn't like his new home after all.

The Difference: Naruto Story. Starring two old woman who are people watching in the market district when they spot a 7 year old boy who's having some trouble. Summary: "He's the cutest little boy. Makes it that much sadder, doesn't it?"

I am still in school, and I'm not planning on having my updates be regular, although I'll try to have them out every 2-4 weeks at the latest (when I do start posting any multi-chapter stories). It will take me a long time to get things out because of school and because I have a limited time use on my family's computer at home. I hate it when people don't update, so I won't try to make people wait on me. One of the things I hate most of all are hypocrites; so I try not to be one.

My Priorities:

My priorities consist of 1) God, 2) My life and everything in it (including school, social life, etc), and 3) fanfiction.net. In other words, I work on my stories in my free time, and if fanficton interferes with 1 and 2, then I will God and My Life come first.

I don't have any real priorities concerning which order I write my stories. If you want something to be prioritized differently, deal with it. They are my stories after all.

Fanart:

How to Defeat an Evil Jiraiya: How to Defeat an Evil Jiraiya by Draw4life (me) (what the story has been based on)

Where Madara Actually Died: As It Should Have Been by Draw4life (me). I drew this picture around the time I came up with the story idea =D.

If people would like for me to make fanart for them, please PM me. I'm not sure how fast I can make it, it depends on the request. Please be aware that I hold the right to refuse to draw certain characters or scenes based on my beliefs and my time.
