Just a guy who likes to read interesting stories and give my 2 cents on them

4/2025

Things have gotten bad for me. So, at the place I work at, a team was let go, a complete team. That is more than 150 people! And the team I work in has to pick up the slack. Overtime is becoming common, and I have less time for anything personal. Hell, last week, the only free time I had was when I ate dinner and slept; no joke. Now, my team is undergoing negotiations to see if some of the work can be allocated to another team, but I don't know any of the details yet.

another bad thing is that my team COULD ALSO be let go. several teams are worried that they might also be let go. Hell, my friend who was on the team that was let go, said that his team had high quality work ethic and achievements. all this thanks to current events that are effecting damn near the whole world right now.

I don't want to since I like my job, but I will have to also start looking into possibly getting another job, and that is a whole different bag of worms since I have worked at this company for years.

anyway, that is the rub of it. When I have the time, I will still shoot out a chapter when I can, but priorities are clear

"ART COMMISSION" or "COLLABORATIONS"

If any of the "artists" are actually reading this. Please DO NOT message me or leave me a review advertising your "I read your story and was amazed - etc etc". I already know that you are most likely either a bot or someone that is just copy-pasting the same message that has been spreading out everywhere.

if you are an actual person, my answer will always be NO. I myself am a digital artist and I can make art based on my fics on my own. And the only thing I have to give is my time. I WILL NOT spend any money on your fake commissions as I have seen what the "art" is on many of your profiles. AI imaging is not art and I will not pay for something like that.

STOP MESSAGING ME ABOUT THIS

I have no interest in it and I would like it if I didn't get hordes of PMs saying the same damn thing

Mini rant

Ok, I have been getting a lot of reviews asking "when are you gonna update this", "where is the next update", "why aren't you updating".

I don't mind a lot of these since it shows that you readers enjoy reading my stories. but ones that demand that I update give me pause. I do know when someone is joking about it and I get a chuckle out of them. but if someone is rude to me about the update, I cant help but be a bit spiteful

I received a review, won't say which, and I get that people want to know what happens next but everyone needs to understand, I have a LIFE. Responsibilities, priorities, obligations, ones that don't have me in front of a computer to do whatever I want. Not only that, I have other hobbies that I enjoy doing. I write stories cause I like to write and see that people like them, but don't think that just cause I write here, I need to be here every second of my free time to keep it going. Being impatient and pushy does not get stories written faster, it just irritates me and ruins my mood for writing.

Asking for when the next update is, I am totally ok with, being an ass about it, not so much.

And to let everyone know where I am right now in my writing mood. I have been losing motivation in my Naruto fics. I usually get inspired by reading Naruto fics and it gets me hyped to keep them going, but Naruto fics that grab my attention have been drying up and my favorites have very few updates. This is why a lot more Danny phantom fics are coming out from me. This does NOT mean that I am abandoning any of them, but I just need to find the motivation for them. I have hundreds, not dozens, HUNDREDS of pages in Google Docs with bullet points, scene ideas, future plans, side plots for potential alternate stories, M-rated scene tests, character quirks, outfit designs, and potential pairing and their possible children. I put too much into most them already that I wont just drop them.

There are a few that I am considering of dropping cause I hate how restrictive they are(wrote myself in a corner where it can only go one way when I want options), how its going, or because I thought of better way for the story to go and it would require me to scrap what is there

That is all for my rant.

now I'm going to play Banjo tooie

LET'S!!!!! F#$%@#%!!!!!!!!! GOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

have a nice day :)

June 2024

Ok, just to let everyone know where I have been recently; I am NOT HOME. at the end of May, I went out of town to visit family (in another part of the world). This trip was supposed to be just a week, but since there are a few family events and celebrations that were happening in the month of June and start of July, it was decided that I stay here so I don't to pay excessively for the trip back and forth and back and forth. And with me thinking this was not gonna be a long trip, I did not bring any of my fic docs with me and left them at my home computer. I only have my work laptop and that is meant ONLY for work.

I have my personal tablet, which has a FEW of my fic files but writing on it is much less progressive than an actual computer. It is why I have only uploaded very few chapters.

Not to mention that since I am with family, I spend most of my time with them as we go out and do stuff.

This is why I am very slow and will barely upload anything right now. updates will most likely pick up when I get back home but until then, please be patient.

4/8/2024

So, unfortunately, the hard drive was not the problem with my laptop and I was unable to fix it. Checked it out more and I could not find the issue with it. I'm afraid that I will have to get a new laptop and that will take some time since finances are needed elsewhere. I have a desktop computer but it is used for other things and I'm not the only one that uses it. overloading it is not recommended.

I am still able to write but it is going to be on my tablet, and from what I have experienced with it, all of the writing will be much, much, much slower than it would be on a laptop. more rereading for editing and I still miss a lot of things.

So that is why I haven't updated anything recently but I will try and get a new laptop soon in order to get back to my stories. I am working on my stories and I will update them as soon as I can but, again, it will be very slow paced

2/10/2024 update

My laptop's hard drive is on the fritz right now so all writing will have to be put on hold. It's an old laptop, 2014 model so it lasted me a good whileI already ordered a replacement, thankfully most of my work is online and backed up if you're reading this, please be patient as I try and get back to my stories.

I'll still be around so I will read reviews and pms responding might be an issue though.

picture me however you like, cause imagination is more powerful than reality

Got a lot of stories and ideas and I will finish them, I just got a lot on ,y plate and coming up with ideas helps me cope, :P

Check out my deviantart to see my art and cover art I do for my fics, including visuals of costumes and character appearances

TO THOSE WHO CHOOSE TO LEAVE A D*@$ REVIEW

I wanna state that I know that I have stories that haven't been updated in a long time. I have not abandoned them but I don't have the motivation or a good idea of how to continue them. key parts are already thought out about them but I just haven't gotten to them

if you are going to put a review saying that I have not updated something or it takes me a long time I update, please don't.

some of you actually ask me to update and I do read them and I am TRYING to get back to my old stories, my muse does go all over the place. not to mention that I have responsibilities that exist in the real world

if you are not a writer, then you don't know that writing these chapters is not easy and I have 50 stories, around 40 of which are incomplete. I do this as a hobby and a way to pass the time. I'm not paid to do this and these are ideas that I come up with randomly. so please don't leave such a review.

if you aren't a writer, why don't you try and make your own story instead of getting on Author's cases about theirs? if you think you can write a better story then write an original story.

Notice - 9/3/2023

Hey, everyoneI want to tell you guys what is going on with me

Something happened to me that is taking away all motivation, energy, and inspiration from me. It is affecting me mentally, emotionally, and at times, physically. I am trying to get past this so I can return to how I was before but it is much more difficult than I thought.

I had plans to release a Pilot chapter for a Naruto Kingdom Hearts fic, and a Pilot for a Transformers Prime fic. I was excited about these and looked forward to hearing what you guys (if you read them) would think. but now I am close to curling up in a ball and crying.

I have some support but damn is this getting to me.

But I will be back. I WILL get back to how I was but I ask you to please wait.

I am doing the notice to let a lot of my regular readers to know what is going on.

Until then, I hope you continue to enjoy my fics, whether re-reading or checking out the ones that you haven't read beforeUntil I get back, I hope all of you have a great day/afternoon/night. Keep yourself in good spirits and I hope you enjoyed what I have so far.

and NO, this does NOT give anyone permission to continue them. but if anyone wants to do a reading/reaction fic of one of the ones I have, I wouldn't mind. but PM me so we can negotiate. I will also see what other stories you have since I would like a reaction fic of my fic to be done with actual reactions instead of an additional sentence or two. (it kind of sounds like I'm being snotty or arrogant but I have seen "reactions" fics that have little to no reaction. you get what I mean right?)Flames can hurt authorsCriticism helps us improveYour ideas help us authors come up with future plansPositive reviews tell us we are doing something rightFavs and follows tell us that you want to see us continueAnd authors want you to enjoy our work so we can keep making more stories for youso please look forward to all of your favorite authors making new stories and continuing them to completion.

so, I hate to say this but there are a few of my stories that I am going to scrap and a few that I am considering redoing. When I first started writing fics, I was overly ambitious and I said I would do a bunch of stories based on the recommendations of others. But after some time, I realized that I could come up with the start of it but I could not continue as I had no idea how to keep it going without it just being the original story with just small add-ons (too insignificant that it does nothing and I have no plan to make the small bits to lead to something). After I improved my writing, I found that doing that is no fun and would be boring.

This is fully in terms of the list of crossover fics I planned on doing with Naruto from my first story "Fox in the Leaf" and other series. One of the things about that which made it more difficult and less fun, was the inclusion of Ino and Hinata. having those two just makes it harder to pair Naruto with anyone else.

There are also the fics that I started and I just hate how they start and how they are almost the same as the original series and just makes me think that you might as well just watch the show. especially since in my head, it is just like the show. there are fics that I have that I plan on continuing that will be almost like that, but I add enough original content that I am satisfied.

now the list right here is of the fics that I will scrap or redo. I will label them in bold, which one will be scrapped or redone with y reason for it. if any of them are your favorites and want me to keep it up without deleting them, PM me and I will just leave it up if I get enough on them. if you want me to redo one of the ones I plan on scrapping you can also PM me. A few of them might just be transferred to my "Oneshots and concepts" fic. It will be some time before I fully delete them so you got time if you read this. list will update in the next few days as well

if there is a fic you like that isn't on the list, then I have plans on continuing it when I can. but check in on occasion just in case it pops up cause some things might happen.

More than meets the eye - Series: Transformers Prime - Redo - I don't like the idea that it starts too close to the original opening. there is also the fact that it is hard to build any relationship with the way Jack is in the fic. if he stays this way, the story would just drag on and I see it as not gonna be any good. I also had the thought of continuing but it doesn't even have many people reading it. the redo would most likely take place after a solid standing with the humans and the Autobots and it would still have alterations that would be shown and found in flashbacks and the like.

Bound - Series: Naruto (vampire AU) - Chapter Reworks - I think the start of the fic is going way too fast and can be stretched out. The idea will stay the same but I will be adding more to the chapters and more chapters in general to the prologue to explain some things and explain things

Spirit of a Mammal - Series: Zootopia (magic fantasy AU) - Deleted - this was started when I was in my Zootopia craze and I read something that was deep in fantasy. I tried my hand on it but I had no plan on where it would go. after some thought, I am choosing to scrap it since I won't be continuing it. I still think the idea of Nick and Judy in a fantasy world would be cool but I don't think I can be the one to do it.

To change the fate of a clan - Series: Naruto/Gargoyles crossover - scrapping? - the start is too much like the original series and just made me think that you could just watch the original series. this one I might just hold on to this and put it on hiatus since I had plans that would change things but it doesn't have much following it and a few reviews brought up how it was just like the original few episodes of Gargoyles and that Naruto didn't add much

The ninth cyborg - Series: Naruto/cyborg 009 crossover - transfer to "Oneshots and concepts" - it is just a teaser and no much is built on it yet. I really like the idea so one day I will make it a full series

New Mission and New Worlds - Series: Kingdom hearts/X-over crossover - transfer to "Oneshots and concepts" - it was just a simple idea that I thought would have been cool. Having some cartoon characters become key blade wielders and go on their own adventure in other cartoons. like Danny Phantom going to a cartoon from Disney or cartoon network, Be Tennyson doing the same, and Kim possibly doing what she does best. too big for me to do at the moment.

A haunted past - Series: Danny Phantom/ sailor moon crossover - redo - I still like the original idea I had but I don't like the execution I did. will be redoing it and give it a new name when I get around to it.

A Moon's Twilight - Series: my little pony FIM - up for adoption (scrapping) - I started this more for my baby cousin but I ended up telling her the rest verbally. so I won't be continuing it since she made changes as I told her the story. There is also the fact that I started another MLP fic, one that is a crossover with Dany Phantom, and it has my interest more than this one.

Favorite pairings

Naruto

Naruto X Temari - never even thought about this pairing but found many stories that made this work and I loved them ("Desert Flower" by 'NXSE')Naruto X Ino - Just how did this come to be, well I don't know how but I'm glad since Ino's bossy personality could pull Naruto out of being a complete idiot ("Flower shop Romance" by 'Yojimra')

Naruto X Hinata - I just like Hinata, and she was one of the only ones that didn't belittle Naruto and saw that he could go far (way too many to put )

Naruto X any female that isn't cruel or mean to him - a lot of the Naruto Fics have Naruto being beaten up and I don't know if that is canon or a Fanfic staple that's used but yeah, I feel any girl that treats him kindly or as a real person instead of a monster or annoyance could work ("Outfoxed" by 'hazeleyes180' is a good harem one -incomplete though)

Dragonball Z

Goku X Bulma - I have nothing against Chichi but I just feel like she should understand that if not for Goku and his need to train to protect the Earth there would be no Earth and I feel like Bulma would understand that a lot more, that and that the marriage between Chichi and Goku was so abrupt that there was no build to it ("The path that could've been" by 'SpiritofDante' is a good one and "Dragonball Z: changes" by 'TrueDomination')

Zootopia

Nick Wilde X Judy Hopps - I just think that the Dynamic between these 2 works really well, and someone once told me "They are different species" and my first thought was "Okay, but I don't see Fox and Bunny, to me it's just a man and a woman that are anthropomorphic animals and if they were human than you can't say anything about it ("Primal Instincts" which leads into "Embrace it" both by Starfang's secrets, "A fox Named Nicholas" by Fearrig and "A Bunny can go Savage" by 'Fox in the hen house")

Kung Fu Panda

Po X Tigress - I blame the TV show for this one, there were some moments in it that made me think "they could be" and I found a lot of KFP Fics I loved so why not ("Ten Thousand breaths" by 'Kraven Ergeist', "Teen Times" by 'LjDamz1119' is a nice one and "Fate can be so Cruel" by 'Pandafan91' is good too, though not a romance but really good either way)

favorite concepts/tropes

Danny Phantom

Danny X Dani (Father and Daughter) - If you think about it, they are father and daughter because clones are supposed to be the same gender, age, and appearance but Dani came out Female, younger, and just resembles Danny and having Danny be her Father is really sweet ("Daughter of the Phantom" by 'The Storymaster1000')

Danny raised by a ghost (Clockwork, Ember, or Pandora) - whether born in the GZ or runs away to it- as cruel as it is that a parent would not accept their kid no matter what they are could bring up new opportunities and nothing against Maddie and Jack Fenton, its interesting to see Danny grow up without having to worry about his ghost half being accepted ("Danny Mclain" by 'Egyptprncssxox')

Danny as Royalty in the GZ - Danny understands the levels of responsibility and although he is a teen, he has a lot on his shoulders and would try his hardest to lead the right way ("(Half) Dead Rule" by 'TheClowningPrince')

Pokemon

Ash becomes a Pokemon (legendary, Pseudo Legendary or a Pikachu/Pichu) - to see the world of Pokemon from the perspective of a Pokemon and him having his partner Pikachu to help him out of whatever trouble he finds himself in ("The Child of Mew" by 'Darkfoxkit' and "Dragonfall" by 'Storylover Vodhr')

Ash betrayal - the idea of him showing the traitors (whoever they are) that he is far better than them and getting payback is just an interest for me

Highschool Dxd

Issei not being a pervert - Issei is an okay guy if he wasn't a pervert since it becomes annoying how he has a pervert moment ("Different Dxd retold" by 'The Rayvenwolves')
