Author has written 2 stories for Fullmetal Alchemist, Dark Cloud, Zatch Bell, and Dragon Ball. If you don't want to read my bio and just wanna know the status of my current fic, scroll down to the bottom of the page. Its status is in bold. My username is a combination of Gash and Zeon from Konjiki no Gash!!. I enjoy watching anime, reading, and playing video games. My astrological sign is Cancer. I read fanfiction when I've finished a show/manga/book/video game/whatever and want more. Then and only then. I am going to write more fic. They're all going to be crossovers with different anime/manga and one of my favorite video games. They'll all be action, adventure, general, friendship, and humor. Japanese Honorifics: Since I've used Japanese honorifics in one of my stories, I'll post an explanation of them all here, for all of you who watch/read the dubbed versions of anime/manga. Plus, most my fics include anime/manga, so there probably will be honorifics in all of them. -san--means Mr./Mrs./Ms./Miss. Semi-formal. Used on someone you don't want to be too informal with, but you don't want to be overly formal with, either. -chan--used for young children, close friends, and teenage girls. Used by the Sailor Senshi a lot, which means that it'll come up a lot in my Sailormoon fics. -sensei--used to refer as someone as a teacher. Like in Naruto, when they call their teachers "sensei", as in "Kakashi-sensei". (I doubt I'll be using this in any of my fics, but might as well post this just in case.) -sama--very formal. Can be translated as "Lord" (not the religious Lord). Used on someone with higher rank. Can be used on yourself, too, but it shows arrogance. -kun--used on males mostly. Used on a boy by a girl who is attracted to that boy or has known for a long time. Favorite Things These lists'll be updated as I remember/watch/read/play more. They are in no particular order. Anime/Manga: Gungrave--A nice, serious anime. I know I said that they were in no particular order, but this is my favorite anime, simply because of the amazing drama. I played both video games, and they're equally good. The anime of the first game expands much more on the game, so I like the anime's story more than the game's story. And the second game didn't get an anime adaptation, but I like the second game, too. It reminds me of the anime. Full Metal Panic! Fumoffu--Funnier version of Full Metal Panic!. If you liked this anime, take a look at the manga Full Metal Panic! Overload as well. It's like Fumoffu, except in manga form (personally, I prefer the anime. I think comedy anime in general are better than comedy manga just because the anime are animated). I like the art in the manga, too. Bishoujo Senshi Sailormoon--I recommend reading the manga. The anime is 95 percent filler, and Tuxedo Mask isn't...useless in the manga. The Senshi look a lot more elegant and ladylike in the manga, too. Let's not forget that it's a classic, opening the door for other mahou shoujo (magical girl) anime/manga. Codename wa Sailorv--If you really like Minako Aino (Sailorvenus) from Bishoujo Senshi Sailormoon, take a look at this. It's focused entirely on Minako. It's funnier than the manga version of Sailormoon, except for the last chapter, which is pretty serious. Pokemon Special--When I first saw this manga listed on OneManga, I thought, Since this is probably just like the anime, I'll read this until it gets crappy. Boy, was I surprised! This isn't like the anime at all (except that Red kinda looks like Ash, and Green, Red's rival, looks exactly like Gary, Ash's rival). This is much better than the anime. It's based on the Pokemon video games, like the Red and Blue versions. The art's cute at times and can be funny. Take a glance at this, especially if you've played the Pokemon games or watched the anime; you won't be disappointed. Dragon Quest: Dai no Daibouken--Definitely take a look at this. The beginning's bad (the art isn't the best in the world), but once the story progresses, it gets better (including the art!). This is on par with Dragon Ball. If you liked Dragon Ball, read a few chapters of this. This is so much like Dragon Ball that the main character in the beginning looks like young Son Gokuu. The only complaint I have is that this manga has too many filler panels and it takes a little long to get the battles, especially at the end. In the beginning, it seemed like they were getting through the battles much quicker. If you read this, you'll see what I mean. It would probably be considered a classic (it came out in the 90's) if it were more popular. I think the Dragon Quest part of the title misled some people. The characters aren't from the games, and it doesn't necessarily follow an RPG plot. Konjiki no Gash!!--This is much better than the anime. Like the Sailormoon anime, Konjiki no Gash!!'s anime is pretty much filler, and I don't like the anime's sense of humor. It's funny, but then it comes to a point where it's just stupid-funny, and it's not funny anymore. The manga keeps me interested, and the plot isn't so complicated that I get lost. The fights remind me of Dragon Ball, except more emotional. The backstories of some of the characters are interesting. And I like Makoto Raiku's (this manga's mangaka) sense of humor--he'll suddenly change a completely serious situation to something funny without overkill. Some chapters do get crazy, though... Dragon Ball--Light-hearted, funny, and action-packed. You should read the manga--it actually gets to the fights. Once again, a classic, paving the way for other shounen series like Naruto and One Piece. I used to hate this show when I was little. I thought it was boring. I decided to give it other chances when it came Comcast's OnDemand, but they never put up all the episodes, so I turned to the manga. When I watched the episodes, I thought it was entertaining and fun, and I'm glad I gave it another chance. Hajime no Ippo--Yet another classic. It's a great boxing manga, and there's a lot of character development. After each exciting fight (even the first fight was exciting, and I didn't think it would be, so I was really surprised since it was the first fight), you feel like the main character, Ippo, has grown. I'm only reading that manga, but I heard the anime is very good as well. Sohryuden: Legend of the Dragon Kings--I love the four brothers' carefree attitudes. They pretty much have the whole world against them for no reason, yet they're so calm and actually have fun defeating the people who come after them. I'm definitely going to buy the light novels the OVA is based off of when they come out in the U.S. (I really hope they're coming soon!) The Kabocha Wine--Shunsuke and L are on their way to being my favorite couple ever. I usually don't like romance in anime, but it's done well here. They're really cute together! It doesn't have a plot, but focuses on Shunsuke's (a male tsundere/jerk with a heart of gold) warming up to L. Future GPX Cyber Formula series--One of the few anime not based off a manga/game/anything. The drama is entertaining, the orchestral music is great, as it's nostalgic and feels like a movie soundtrack, the comedic parts are well-placed, and the romance-drama doesn't feel forced. This anime also has one of my favorite couples--Hayato and Asuka, a non-tsundere-jerk-with-a-heart-of-gold couple. They exhibit true love: supporting each other through everything, even if they have to sacrifice something or don't necessarily like what the other is doing. The half-fan game for the PC is also very good, with many details in the cars. The half-fan game is actually better than the official games for the PlayStation 2 (Road to the Infinity series). The Sacred Blacksmith--It's nice to see a strong female lead in a seinen (adult male demographic) manga. Cecily, the main character, is one of my favorite characters simply because of this. This manga shines with its characters and their relationships more than the plot. This manga also has a fair helping of drama to go with its action. Not to mention the amazing art. There are more, but they're on my Myanimelist account. The name of that account is krysis, which includes my favorite anime/manga characters. Here it is: http://myanimelist.net/profile/krysis (Okay, I realize that not all of the anime/manga I listed here is on the list on Myanimelist. But the anime/manga here are definitely worth a look at.) Cartoons/T.V. Shows: Big Brother series--It can get pretty interesting in the Big Brother house. Drama, "showmances", action... I really like this show. The Price is Right--Some of the contestants on here are really funny. And it's fun when you're watching with a friend or family member and guessing what the prices of the prizes are. Crashbox--This is a fun show for the whole family. It's like Price is Right, guessing the answers and competing with your family and friends. There are a bunch of different mini-games that are all fun (I don't really like some of the mini-games, though). I'd continue watching this, but they only made 21 episodes, and I've seen all of them, so I know all of the answers to the questions. Ed, Edd, n' Eddy--The sense of humor in this is great, except that they do overkill it sometimes. This is pretty original, especially the episode "One Plus One Equals Ed". That's my favorite episode. Dexter's Laboratory--This is another funny cartoon. The sense of humor, like Ed, Edd, n' Eddy, is pretty original, except less...physical. I think they do it without overkill for the most part. Courage the Cowardly Dog--Courage's screams are hilarious. Some of the villains are pretty funny, too, like the fox in the episode "Cajun Granny Stew" after he takes off his sunglasses. 227--This is an old sitcom from the '80's. I used to not really like this show, but I do now. The misadventures can be funny, and Jackee Harry does a great job playing as Sandra Clark (best character in the show, I think). In my opinion, her role as Sandra Clark is better than her role as Lisa in Sister, Sister. Good Times--I like this until James dies. Then, it all goes downhill (with a few exceptions, the most triumphant being the four-episode arc when they introduce Penny). Until then, though, this show is great, focusing on a poor black family's struggle to get out of the ghetto and make something of themselves. This show covers pretty much everything, from racism, to failure, to bad relationships. And one of my favorite characters ever is James. He's a strong father and tries to be a role model to his children by working hard and trying to scrape up enough money to make them successful. I Dream of Jeannie--This is a classic. I never knew how I always knew about this series, but it always seemed as though I knew about it since I was born. I first saw Jeannie on the Scooby-Doo movies (I loved Scooby-Doo, especially the movies, when I was little). I think I watched (and loved) the Jeannie cartoon as well, because when I looked up the Jeannie cartoon recently, the name Babu (the genie-in-training), sounded really familiar. The only thing I remembered about Jeannie was that Jeannie was really pretty. This is a fun show that takes your mind off your problems, at least for thirty minutes. I know in the beginning of my profile I said that I only read fanfiction after I've finished something, but this is one of those rare exceptions: this is something I like so much that I started reading fanfiction for it while I watched season two. I still haven't finished the show, yet I still read fanfiction for it, avoiding the fics that spoil future episodes or the T.V. movies. The fandom for this is great, too! Bewitched--This is the show that dueled with I Dream of Jeannie in the '60's. I like them both equally, since they both have different styles: As I heard one internet user state, Jeannie is like a cartoon with live-action characters. Bewitched, however, is a more talkative, witty, snarky show. However, the second episode of the first season, "Be It Ever so Mortgaged," bored me to tears. I haven't gotten bored with the show since. Granted, I'm still watching season one. The episodes feel longer than the 25 minutes they are and have an air of innocence about them. I am wondering if the infamous season eight is as bad as everyone says, but since I'm watching the episodes in order, I won't know for a little while. South Central (TV show)--This show was a drama, showing a family's life in South Central, Los Angeles. South Central is known for its high crime rate. This family consists of a mother, Joan, who works at a grocery store and barely makes it by for her three children; Andre, the son; Tasha, the daughter; and Deion, the adopted son who was born on crack and isn't able to talk. As the show goes on, we find out more about this family and their past tragedies. Unfortunately, it was cancelled after ten episodes by FOX, due to a "decline in ratings." Since this was made in 1994, the likelihood of a continuation is slim to none. Video Games: Need for Speed series--My favorites are the Porsche and Carbon ones. Porsche is kinda like a driving simulator, but it's still fun, even though I don't usually like driving sims. The PC version is vastly superior to the PlayStation version: there are more cars, more tracks, and online. Carbon focuses on street racing and being chased by cops. It's fast-paced. Burnout Paradise--It really would be driving paradise if it wasn't for all those pedestrian cars. People who play this game know what I'm talking about. Crash Bandicoot series--My favorites are the first one--which is simple platforming, like in early Mario games--and TwinSanity. Mind over Mutant isn't the best gameplay wise, but it has the best humor. I like the art style in the early games as well, specifically one of Crash's eyes being smaller than the other when he looks over his shoulder or looks right or left. Jak and Daxter series--Platforming and shooter combined, I guess. Except for the first game and the Jak X one. The first one doesn't have shooters, while the Jak X one is combat racing. Dark Cloud--I like this game, but the sequel is drastically improved. I like the plot and the graphics in this game better than the one in Dark Cloud 2 because this game's plot is darker and this game's graphics are more anime-like. I wish the allies (Xiao, Goro, Ruby, Ungaga) would've appeared in cutscenes more than once, though. They have great personalities. Osmond got a bit more love, but I don't like him much, and Toan, the main character, is naturally in every cutscene. Apparently, Level-5 loves Osmond; he appeared in this game's sequel and in White Knight Chronicles. Dark Cloud 2 (Dark Chronicle)--There's so much to do in this game. It takes a really long time to do it all. And my favorite character in any video game, ever, is Monica. It's hard to explain why I like her so much. She sounds adorable in the Japanese version, too. Mirror's Edge--A first-person platformer, basically. It involves strategy more than action--you try to avoid your enemies instead of fight them. Unreal Tournament 2004--My first first-person shooter. Really fun, but I wish there were more anime skins/models for this. The game likes to give me BSODs every fifteen minutes of gameplay, though, and I can't fix it. Kinda frustrating. I guess I just need a new computer, which I will build when I finish college and move out of my parents' house, which won't be for a long time. The World Ends with You--A nice, completely original game. The only complaint I have about this is that it can be a little too hard. It's too stressful for me, and that doesn't make it fun anymore. I got to the final boss, but I can't beat him, so I've just given up. I would've liked to see how it ended, and I won't look at the ending on YouTube because I like the feeling of earning it myself. Valkyria Chronicles--A first-person shooter/strategy game. It's a game based on war. I really like the characters and the plot. Although it's not completely original, it's still better than what other games have to offer. Eternal Sonata--I really like the battle system in this game. It's fun and addicting and kinda strategic. There're quite a few likeable characters in this game, and this has a pretty good plot. Folklore--This game has a plot that is one of the best I've seen in any video game. I wish other game developers put as much time and thought in a plot and characters as this game obviously did. The gameplay is pretty good, too. Not the best gameplay, but it's addicting and fun. The plot drove me to finish this game, not the gameplay, with a sympathetic protagonist. It isn't too hard, either. Sim Theme Park (Theme Park World)--This game is very addicting. It's like a business simulator. In this game, you build your own park and ride your own rides, including roller coasters that you can build yourself. This game can be played for hours in one sitting. The advisor can get annoying, especially if you play the PlayStation 1 version, in which many of his lines are repeated many times. However, in the PC version, his lines are mostly varied. I started playing this on the PlayStation 1 and later got the PC version. This is also the only game that non-gamers like: my sister, who doesn't like video games, played this with me for hours on end, even bringing her friends (who also don't play video games) to the house and letting them play, too. This game appeals to a lot of people. Future Plans These are just ideas I have for fic. As I stated above, they're all going to be crossovers. They're all going to be multi-chapter fics--some with plots, some without plots. I'll include a summary with all of them, but since they're only ideas, I'll include the full summary when/if I post them. The titles I came up with for some of them are in parentheses, and the titles with question marks next to them mean that I don't know if that's the definite title for the fanfic. The more question marks it has next to it's name, the more doubtful I am that that'll be the fic's name. If one of the summaries suddenly disappear, it means I'm not going through with the fic. Konjiki no Gash x Pokemon Special--Kiyomaro has a dream of becoming a Pokemon master, and Gash has a dream of becoming the king of the Demon World. The demons and their partners will be battling simultaneously with Pokemon. If you know what The World Ends with You's battle system is like, it's kinda like that, except without the shared health. I'll put Red, Green, Blue, and the other Pokedex holders in here, too. They're going to have demons, but I'm not creating my own. Im going to change demon partners around--none of the main partners, just the unimportant ones from the beginning. I know this is confusing, but it'll become clearer if I post this, and some of this is hard to explain. I'm going to study up on the manga of both of these, so this probably won't be done for a long time, and after writing Dragon Chronicle, I'd like to take a break from writing something long and tedious. It probably will be my most difficult fic to complete and, hopefully, the battle scenes won't be too confusing. Sailormoon x Courage the Cowardly Dog (Courage's Hope)--The Senshi find Courage at the mall (more entertaining than it sounds). Muriel and Eustace will get a disease that can only be cured from with a special medicine from Japan. It'll only have the first five Senshi and Tuxedo Mask (Usagi, Ami, Rei, Makoto, Minako, Mamoru), and they'll be constantly attacked by Courage's enemies, like Freaky Fred and Le Quack. The Dark Kingdom will team up with Courage's foes. Each foe they encounter will have a clue to get to the special medicine. It'll become a lot clearer if I post this. This won't be too, too long--probably around seven or eight chapters. It'll be based off the senshi's manga personalities and the manga storyline, as I have no intention of ever watching the anime, but only reading the manga. Plus, their manga personalities suit this fic more than the Sailormoon crossover below. Sailormoon x SpongeBob SquarePants--Once again, this'll only have the first five Senshi and Tuxedo Mask. Ami builds a cross between a rocket and submarine (called the "Rockarine"), all the Senshi board it, and it crash lands in the ocean between SpongeBob and Squidward's houses. Hilarity ensues. The Dark Kingdom will be in this once they find out that there's energy in the ocean (they think that the Senshi are still on land) and they somehow get in the ocean and get stuck down there with the Senshi. They'll team up with Plankton: Plankton will make a deal with them, saying that he'll help them steal energy if they help him get the krabby patty secret formula. This follows the senshi as they struggle to find a way to get themselves and the Dark Kingdom back on land while protecting Bikini Bottom from the Dark Kingdom's forces. I'll try to base it off of the senshi's anime personalities just because it'll be more suitable for this comedic fic. I've watched clips of the anime on YouTube, and their anime personalities are pretty different than their manga personalities. I'm not going to watch the entirety of the anime, so I apologize in advance if some of the senshi are out of character. Digimon x Valkyria Chronicles--I have a decent amount of ideas for this. The human/Digimon pairings are as follows: On the good side is Coronamon with Welkin, Betamon with Alicia, PawnChessmonBlack (yes, she'll talk) with Isara, Dracomon with Rosie, and Kumamon with Largo. On the evil side is Lunamon with Selvaria. They're all the first generation of Chosen Children, even though they're not children (it was never explained who the first generation of Chosen Children were. They were mentioned in the one of the last few episodes of Digimon Adventure, the first season, and never seen or mentioned again. Leaves a lot of room for fanfiction ideas, like this one). They all get transported to the Digimon World, Lunamon and Selvaria separate from the rest of the Chosen Children. The good side's mission is to defeat Pinochimon, who is planning to destroy the Digital World, and defeat Selvaria and Lunamon, who are working for Pinochimon. The same Digimon who chose the second generation of Chosen Children (Taichi, Yamato, Takeru...all them) tells the good side's Digimon about the situation and to protect their partners at all costs. Pinochimon tells the Selvaria and Lunamon to defeat the good side. I want to put some stuff from the Digimon manga Digmon: D-Cyber and Digimon Adventure V-tamer 01 in here, specifically the energy spheres from D-Cyber and the using Digivices to uplink advice to the Digmion from V-tamer. I get to use OCs at the Digimon partners. Heh. This will be one of my hardest fics, next to Dragon Chronicle and the Konjiki no Gash!!/Pokemon Special x-over, because of the fact that I'll be using OCs and it'll be a combo of action/drama . Also, it'll be extrememly long. I'll do my best creating the Digimon partners' personalities, and I'm hoping that I don't create any Mary Sues. By the way, I'm lying in this summary; all is not what it seems to be. Megaman Zero x The Kabocha Wine (Mega SL)--Zero's body is failing him. Ciel says that one way for him to survive is for him to get his real body back, which Weil has. When fighting Weil on Ragnarok, they both fire a single shot. The shots meet and explode. When the dust clears, Zero's real body is nowhere to be seen. Shunsuke, who's in his dorm, sees a shooting star. He makes a wish, but then the star hits the ground and makes the sky light up. He goes down to see what happened. It's Zero's real body. He thinks it's an artifact and decides to sell it the next day. He takes it and keeps it in his closet. Much more detail to this, but I'm not going to spoil it all now. Sohryuden: Legend of the Dragon Kings x-over--I really want to do some kind of crossover with this series. I don't know what, but I'm thinking about it. It'll probably be after I read the light novels if they ever see the light of day in the U.S. The Sacred Blacksmith x Tak and the Power of Juju--I'd like to do a crossover with these two series, but I haven't really thought anything through. Just a few loose ideas floating around in my head. I do know, however, that the commander of the knight guards will be recruiting Cecily to destroy a great evil, and a Juju will guide her (Flora and Fauna, maybe? Or maybe just Fauna?). It'll satirize RPGs, since The Sacred Blacksmith is a lot like an RPG. MegaMan Starforce x Totally Spies!--Like the idea above, I haven't really thought anything through. I've only played the first game from the Starforce series, and I'm in the middle of watching the anime. I'll get to playing all three of the games one day, but on to what I have thought through so far: When WHOOP discovers an unusual amount of Z waves and unusual events occuring in Echo Ridge, Japan, they hire the spies to find out what's causing them. After exploring Echo Ridge for a while, Sam, Alex, and Clover discover that the Z Waves are always near Geo. Teaming up with Copper and his police force, they follow Geo around to find out what his connection to the Z Waves is. And with WHOOP on his trail, his secret won't stay secret for long. I Dream of Jeannie x 227 (Sandra's Competition) (?)--This may only be a oneshot, considering the few ideas I have for this and the fact that there's no category for 227 (the '80's sitcom with Marla Gibbs and Jackee Harry), which means that next to no people may read this. In this case, the question mark means that I don't know if I'm going to write this fic at all. On to the summary: Tony, Jeannie, Roger, and Dr. Bellows are relocated to the NASA base in Washington, D.C. temporarily. That base is testing a rocket and needs a few employees for assistance, and Tony and Roger are two of the most experienced testers on the NASA base in Florida. Dr. Bellows comes with them to further observe their strange behavior, and Jeannie can't be left by herself for such a long period of time after being left alone for 2,000 years. They move to the 227 apartment complex since it's the closest to the NASA base. They introduce themselves to all their neighbors, but Sandra's not home. They go to Mary and Lester's apartment. Mary offers to cook them dinner, and they stay for a while. Soon, Sandra comes in with her usual loud knocking and constant calling of Mary's name, and she joins for dinner with her new boyfriend. Her boyfriend lays eyes on Jeannie, and things all go downhill from there. Remember that these are ideas. All of these may not be posted. It'll take a long time to get them up, and I'm not posting one until I finish the one I'm working on, which is the Dark CloudxDragon Ball one (Dragon Chronicle). Next one I'll work on is going to be one of the Sailormoon x-overs. I haven't decided which one yet, but based on how many ideas I have, it'll most likely be the SailormoonxCourage one. Writing chapter 28 of Dragon Chronicle. Don't be afraid to leave a review! I'm not a mean person. I won't flame you even if you flame me. So take time out to write a review, whether it be praise or constructive criticism. It lets me know that people are actually interested in my fics and gives me the motivation to keep going. I know it's harder to review for crossovers because you have to read/watch/play both series to know who's who and what's what. If any of my fighting scenes are vague and need improvement, please PM me, and I'll do my best to fix them. Please be specific about which fighting scene it is. This applies to all of my fics. This is also very important because, if you haven't noticed, the majority of my upcoming fics are going to be fighting-based. If there are any grammatical errors (spelling mistakes, missing words, stuff like that) in any of my stories, please let me know via a PM, not a signed review, because I don't want a review only pointing out a spelling error to be stuck there forever, even after I've fixed it. I don't have a beta, so I'm the only one proofreading my fics. Sorry for the long profile. I'm all done now. | |||||
