I guess I'd actually better do something with this page, huh? If you want to know more about me as a writer and a fan, check out my LJ (zerrat). It has my musings, issues with plotting, rantings, progress updates and snippets from other fics, as well as LJ-only material (various ratings, heh).

4 March 2012 - I'm mostly moved over to AO3 (tag is Zerrat there as well), as I'm wowed by the amazing setup of the site. It's the home of most of my newer (and exclusive to AO3) fics.

OoOoO

Age: 22

Location: Australia

That's probably as much personal information as is needed here (if you want more, as I said, LJ's the way to go! I don't bite!) but I think I'll say a little bit on my works. Since it's recently come up as a topic in fandom discussion, I think I need to make this clear.

If, by some chance, I remove a fanfiction from this account, my LJ or AO3 or wherever this fanfiction was posted, if some industrious reader did save a copy of the fic onto their computer... By all means, you may share it with any others who have an interest in the fic. Just, credit where credit's due, right? Even if I no longer want a story to be a part of an archive (I've been known to delete fics I dislike) it's still my work.

So, tl;dr save, print, share my work as you like, but don't forget to mention me as the author!

Additionally, since this has also come up in the same discussions, nobody needs my permission to podfic, fanart or write extensions of any transformative work that I have posted. You don't need to PM me and ask, you can just do it. And then send me the link when you're done, because I'd love to see! :3

Of course, I doubt that anyone cares enough to do so, but people say that it might be a good thing to have. That way people know where they stand.

OoOoO

Z's Policy on Warnings

I do warn for common triggers. Even if I feel that it'll spoil the surprise or something, I do try to warn. Stuff like non-con, abuse, torture, skeevy relationships, extreme violence or character death are things that I WILL warn for. Those are generally very common triggers and I would hate to fail somebody and hurt them by my insensitivity and thoughtlessness. It's just human decency.

However, sometimes I will miss things, and if something I have written has triggered you in some fashion, please. Let me know, so I can place appropriate warnings so that it never happens again.

Things that do not require 'warnings' is f/f or m/m relationships. Not only is 'warning' for these offensive, it groups them with things like what I listed above. Not cool. I will place the relationship type in the pairings line and again in the Additional Notes section. That's not a warning - it's information and advertisement.

Finally. Some of my fics have less-than-happy outcomes, and while I'll mention tone, I usually don't indicate when things are going to end badly. This is a warning for NOT warning for not happy endings. If that makes sense. Some endings will be happy, others mixed, and some will be pretty depressing. The overall tone of the fic usually is pretty indicative of what path I choose, and if it entails character death etc those will be warned for.

OoOoO

AO3 Archived Fanfiction

The below fics have AO3 options, and many of the fics now are exclusive to AO3. Please ignore the hideous links, this site has disabled external-going links. Yet another reason to move! Remember to read the warnings on the AO3 site.

OoOoO

Final Fantasy IV

Acid Oak Makes the Heart Grow Fonder (http://archiveofourown.org/works/412517) - Cecil/Rosa, Kain. Cecil has decided that today would be the day that he would tell Rosa how he felt about her - he just probably shouldn't have picked a poisonous bouquet of flowers to give to her while he did so.

Knowledge and Power (http://archiveofourown.org/works/376718) - Kunsel. Genfic. Kunsel hadn't questioned his folks' deaths at the time. Later he'd reflect that perhaps that naivete was the only reason he didn't end up on the wrong side the killed-in-action emails.

Adrenaline (http://archiveofourown.org/works/187153) - Fang/Lightning, Serah. A dark past and an uncertain future – what better way to take your mind off it all, than to do something crazy? It's definitely the most extreme thing Lightning's done since she got to Gran Pulse.

Worst Birthday Ever (http://archiveofourown.org/works/153079) - Fang/Lightning, Snow/Serah. It’s Fang’s birthday, and she’s a little miffed when it looks like Lightning isn’t going to show. The damn soldier promised her!

But when he sleeps, he's somewhere else entirely.

CopyCat (http://archiveofourown.org/works/306945) - Tidus, Firion, Bartz. Genfic. There are just some lines you do not cross. For Tidus, that Bartz guy just crossed the line and has done something completely unforgivable.

Dance in the Dark (http://archiveofourown.org/works/187200) - Kain/Lightning. She was nothing like the women of Baron, whom Kain was normally besotted by. She was harsh and cold and fiery, and that stark difference was exactly why she fascinated him.

Don't Remember (http://archiveofourown.org/works/187192) - Luneth, Onion Knight, Aria, Terra Branford. A forgotten pact, and the haunting images of people and places Luneth should not remember.
