Note: My earlier works (mostly from the 90s and early 2000s) are available from my old homepage, which is currently mirrored at fdnest (DOT) com / ~makoto / (remove the spaces). I have no plans at this time to post any of those stories here.

Once upon a time, I mostly penned Ranma fanfics, some crossovers, and the occasional Sailor Moon story. Sometimes, both in the same fanfic. :D

10/1/23: My apologies - I've been having something going on at home which requires me to spend more and more time (since 2017) taking care of it. I'm still working on my stories, yes, and the latest TGSS chapter is almost done. Almost. But in the face of Real Life, my fanfics have to unfortunately take a back seat. -_-

I've gotten a little stuck on the ending for the latest chapter of TGSS, too.

I'm hoping to get something out by the end of the year, at least. That shouldn't be a problem, but Real Life could still interfere.

(apologies to Myyddraal... this wasn't as extensive as I thought it would be. :)

2/20/24: Argh. Noticed I accidentally left a scene separator line out of the Naka scenes on Chapter 32. And the site interface isn't letting me edit the story. -_-

8/16/24: Bad news… while I was working on chapter 33 of The Great Shipgirl Swap, my old computer decided to stop working, and it’s easier to get a new system than rely on possibly dodgy, questionable RAM (if that IS one of the problems with the system), among other things. Unfortunately, the computer took my draft of chapter 33 with it. I’ve since rewritten about a couple of pages of it, when I can find the time. -_- I’m working on getting a new system to replace the old one.

Notable updates:

1/1/20: Happy New Year! Posted Chapter Twenty-Eight of The Great Shipgirl Swap.

4/20/20: Posted Chapter Twenty-Nine of The Great Shipgirl Swap.

4/29/20: Corrected a minor (but glaring) error in Chapter Seven of The Great Shipgirl Swap, and removed the link to the concept sketch. Hopefully, that doesn't break anything else as a result.

9/7/20: The past handful of months have placed a real damper on both my free time and drive to write. :( That, and there's one scene in Chapter Thirty that bothered me enough to restart it from the beginning. I've got at least... seventy-five to eighty percent of the chapter written? ...though I can't guess when it'll be finished. -_-

Edited the update list to only show the entries from this year, to make my profile small again. I did save the previous version of the list, though, so I can restore it if necessary.

9/8/20: (TGSS) A character test sketch sheet I've had up for William D. Porter for a little while: https :/ / imgur. com /DkyNjIP (remove the spaces) I have art for William D. Porter, Indy, and Portland, but as always, I'm stuck in an endless loop of "no, I don't want to post that, I can draw something that looks MUCH better." :D

On a related note: if anyone would like to submit their own character designs (for any of the 'new' characters)/art, I'd love to see it. :)

12/20/20: Posted Chapter Thirty of The Great Shipgirl Swap. (And forgot to update this list until 1/1/21.)

01/09/21: Posted Chapter Thirty-One of The Great Shipgirl Swap.

01/15/24: Wait, it's been THAT long? That can't be right. Posted Chapter Thirty-Two of The Great Shipgirl Swap.

(...and no, I'm STILL not going to copy Bunny or anything else to my profile to make it appear larger. Honest.)
