The name's Strawberry Eggs (okay not really). As you may have gathered from the stories I read and write, I'm a major anime, video game, and manga fan. Typically though, I almost always only read fanfics for series that are short, have little chance of a sequel or have little exposure such Vandread, Haibane Renmei, Baten Kaitos and Tales of Symphonia. That doesn't mean I won't read stories for better know or longer series like Inu Yasha or Full Metal Panic, but it would be rare.

In my youth, I've written stories on them, but they were silly things like what if the casts of Sailor Moon, Pokemon, Tenchi Muyo! and Ranma 1/2 met. Why it took me until very recently to start reading fanfiction (and writing good ones) still puzzles me. I mean, I was 18 when I joined. Most people, from what I can tell, join around the ages of 13-15.

Anyway, I write whatever I feel is good and when the spirit moves me, so don't expect them regularly (unless I'm working on a multi-chapter fic, such as right now). In any case, many thanks to those who reviewed my stories and everyone who read them. It's such a great feeling knowing people like your work!

By the way, in case your wondering, I did not name myself "Strawberry Eggs" becuase they're my favorite foods o.O...The name come from the title of one of my most favorite anime I My Me! Strawberry Eggs. Seeing as it's one of the oddest titled anime I've ever come across, I thought it would make for a strange and funny Username (I use it on a few forums and such).

That's right, I'm back! . . . I think. I can't say how often I'll be writing, reading, and reviewing, but I will certainly try. I have a crazy backlog to get through, and there some decent (heck, even GOOD) new stories out there. . .Seeing as several of these backlog stories are by authors I hink have abandoned fanfiction, I can get to thoes last anyway. :P

Disclaimer (Since I never include them in my stories): I do not own, nor do I claim to own any of the follwing series and franchises: Tales of Symphonia/Dawn of the New World, Phantasy Star, Pokemon, Girl Got Game, Vandread, Sword of Mana, I My Me! Strawberry Eggs, Baten Kaitos, Final Fantasy: Crystal Chronicles, and Haibane Renmei. They are the properties of Namco, Sega, Nintendo, Shizuru Seino, Gonzo, Square Enix, Pioneer, Monolith Soft, Square Enix (again), and Yoshitoshi ABe respectively.

Current Project(s):

Tales of Phantasy: Gal Da Val Saga (Tales of Symphonia)
Two months have past since the hunter team's investigation of Ragol and Pioneer 1. They are still onboard the Pioneer 2 A lab tests the team's abilities for a new mission on the island of Gal Da Val...Could someone from Pioneer 1 really still be alive?

O Keepers of the Crystal (Baten Kaitos)
Kalas has never been part of a Crystal Caravan and only seems to be interested in his one-man war against monsters. How can an unusual band of caravaners, led by a blonde-haired Clavat girl help him? And how can they accomplish what so many have failed to do: stop the Miasma?

That's right, I'm going to try and attempt to write these two at once. I've already posted both stories at the same time. However, not every chapter will be uploaded at the same time for both stories. Chances are, I'll work on ToPII more since that will be a bit shorter than OKotC andmore people will be familiar with it, but who knows? I may decide to work on the one I get more reviews for (hint, hint).

Future Stories :
(More like Plot Aura Spheres that may or may not see the light of day in the form of a fanfic considering how much time I have these days)

Tales of Symphonia (Dawn of the New World specifically) two or three one-shots. I hope to write at least one Emil x Marta story.

Luminous Arc 2 one-shot

Baten Kaitos (Eternal Wings) one-shot

On Hiatus:

Swords (Haibane Renmei)
Sadly, I've been hit with the urge to write that Baten Kaitos/FFCC combination and would like to write it at the same time as Tales of Phantasy Episode II. This will likely leave this story untouched for a long time, at least until I finish one of the other two. I sincerly apologize for anyone who wanted to see this story updated sooner. I haven't abandoned it though, it will just take me longer than I thought.

Titles I'd like to Write Stories For if I Could Think of Decent Plots

More Tales of Symphonia
More Baten Kaitos
More Vandread
Mother
Final Fantasy: Crystal Chronicles
Final Fantasy VI
I My Me! Strawberry Egg
Riviera: The Promised Land
Yggdra Union
The Wallflower
Phantasy Star (series)
Spiral
Luminous Arc

Joint Account:

The Sheelos Sisters: http/www.fanfiction.net/~thesheelossisters

My first attempt at writing collaborative fanfics. This account is shared by Rose-Wisteria, Lilikoifish, Lil-Samuu, Artic Huskey and myself. This came about on the Summoner and the Masked Swordsman Forum, where the five of us discussed working together on Sheelos stories. So far we haven't written anything, but we do have one story in the works. I'll report here when we have begun posting, but for now just check it out. Hopefully by working with these wonderful writers I'll finally write a few more of my own Sheelos stories.

Just so you know we know have the FIRST CHAPTER OF OUR FIRST STORY UP! I actually didn't do much as it was Artic Huskey who wrote the first chapter, but I will soon enough. Please go and read it!

(Yes, I know this never went anywhere, but I keep it here for memories' sake.)

My Muses

(I don't keep this up anymore, but for the sake of memories and nostalgia, I'll keep the descriptions here.)

They don't talk much in my own writing for some reason, but they like to pop in during my reviews to other readers and are the ones responsible for giving, dropping, beating and blasting fic ideas and motivation into my head.

Tiara: Have you seen the chaos we cause in reviews? Imagine if we started talking during one of your fanfics?

Okay... so much for that mystey. Four of them reside in my head and take the forms of four Pokemon, three of them Legendary, one non-Legendary.

Anyway they are

Serene the Lucario (Diamond/Pearl)
The only non-Legendary muse I have. While her ideas are scarce, she's the one who enjoys delivering them to me, first by punching, then by hitting with Aura Spheres. While her means of motivation is a bit much, she's good at getting me to work. She and Tiara, a Mewtwo often get into arguments which nearly breaks out into fights if it weren't for Galaxia (goes to show that it's a bad idea to have a Psychic-type cat and a Fighting-type dog in the same place). She is named after Serene from the game Riviera: The Promised Land.

Dita the Latias (Ruby/Sapphire)
A real sweetheart, Dita usually comes up with and works on cute and fluffy stories, but she mostly cheers me on and encourages me. She wishes she could come up with more, but unlike the others, she apologizes greatly for it. Always polite, she even apologizes for Serene's idea beating (though she says it's her fault for telling Serene first rather than telling me). In fact, she's a bit too apologetic, but she means well. She is named after Dita Libely from the anime Vandread and acts a lot like her.

Galaxia the Lugia (Gold/Silver)
The unofficial leader of the group, she keep everyone in order and also keep them and me on task. She's a no-nonsense bird who is sometimes made fun of by Serene for being too serious. As such, she almost rarely comes up with story ideas, but when you have two muses prone to arguing and a bubbly bird-dragon who apologizes too much, I can see why. While she normally keeps a cool head, Serene and Tiara claim that she's threatened to "Aeroblast them into next week" a few times. She is names after the character Sailor Galaxia from the anime Sailor Moon.

Tiara the Mewtwo (Red/Blue)
She's the one responsible for more serious and action stories. She's a bit cynical and often questions why humans (me especially) are so weird. She normally stays out of arugements and ignores my comments, saying that her job is to muse me and she must stay on that task. However, if Serene says something about her, she'll be arguing and shouting at the Lucario in an instant. With both Galaxia and Dita around, they can normally be made to stop and she's even started to warm up to the others. She is named after the character Tiara from the anime Shamanic Princess.
