![]() Just as a note to everyone who actually checks my profile (doubt it) I will tend to put stuff by other authors, but unless it's a copy&paste, I WILL cite the original author. I am more of a reader than a writer, so I won't be making any stories any time soon. Thank you, and see what kinds of stories I like below. Index of My Profile I.Notice Why is it that even though the publishing rules (as of Nov. 20 2008) say you can't publish lists, bloopers, polls, previews, challenges, authors notes, etc., people do it anyways, especially challenges and previews. When I do these, it'll be on my profile, not as a story. If you are reading this and still do this, please stop, 'cause I'd rather you not get cited for not following the rules or something. Also, please spell check, because I'm finding a lot of stories that get ruined in one way or another because single or sequenced spelling typos cause confusion. If and when I publish a story, I promise to double or even triple check for spelling errors. Seriously, it "pisses me off" when people know the rules but ignore them. As a reference to a scene in Danny Phantom, Walker punished Danny for breaking a rule he didn't know existed, to which I say "Punish people for breaking rules WHILE knowing that it was one, not when they're new and don't know it.". If you didn't know this, I don't hold it against you, but it's very likely that you did since you can't publish without reading the rules anyways. PLEASE READ THIS AND DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT!!! II.Information about me that is non-confidential (will be labeled if confidential to me) True Name: CONFIDENTIAL (you can call me 1 of 3 nicknames, Nano (Family) {due to dwarfness as a child, and current technology hype}, Jesus (School) {due to benevolence, innocence, and slight spiritualism}, or Mage (Friends) {due to love of magic and balance, and occasional word of wisdom}) Gender: Male III. Helpful Information on FanFics (To Be Updated) {If you want or need any specific informationabout any of the following, tell me via PM and I'll put it on here) Danny Phantom: Gets his powers when 14, but saves the world in "Phantom Planet" at 16.Harry Potter: Time Frame (from 1st year to 7th year)- 1991-1997 (counting 1st chapter of book 1 and epilogue, 1981-2016) Headmaster of Hogwarts during Albus Dumbledore's time as a student- Most likely to be Phineas Black (Albus was a student from 1892-1900, Phineas was Headmaster between sometime in the late 1800s, and 1925) Marauder's Era- 1971 - 1978 Wolfsbane creation date- Sometime after the mid-1970s (Either during the Marauders' 7th year, or shortly after)My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic: Rainbow Dash's Speed & Wing Power: (Note: assuming that the mathematical calculations that state that her top speed is about Mach 5 (5x the speed of sound(761.21 Miles per Hour, or 340.29 Meters per Second), about 3,806 Miles per Hour, or 1701.5 Meters per Second), and that 1 wing power is about 19.5 Miles per Hour, or 8.72 Meters per Second, are correct) In "Hurricane Fluttershy", it was established that Rainbow Dash could go at about 16.5 Wing Power, which is about 322 Miles per Hour, or 144 Meters per Second, in an instant, which is less than half the speed that it would require to break the sound barrier. However, if you take the "Sonic Rainboom" speed into account, than she could build up her speed to about 195 Wing Power, which doesn't even take into consideration the fact that the Sonic Rainboom can apparently DOUBLE her speed and wingpower, once she performs it. Yeah, Rainbow Dash is apparently one really fast Pegasus pony.Philosophy of fanfiction: (by Less Wrong) Creativity means creating a good, original work. The goodness part is complicated. Originality isn’t easy, but it is simple: Just don’t do stuff that’s already been done. The First Law of Fanfiction states that every change which strengthens the protagonists requires a corresponding worsening of their challenges. Or in plainer language: You can’t make Frodo a Jedi without giving Sauron the Death Star. Read any book on writing ever and it will tell you that stories are about conflict; a hero too strong for their conflict is no longer in tense, heart-pounding difficulty. The Mary Sue is not defined by her power, but by her lack of an even more powerful opponent. I mention this (1) so that you know I know it and (2) because the First Law of Fanfiction ought to be in a giant banner on every fanfiction site. The most fatal temptation of fanfiction writing is to think of how much easier some character’s life would be if they were a ninja. We are naturally inclined to think up ways to solve our characters’ problems for them, but must learn instead to make their lives more difficult. The Rule of Rationalist Fiction states that rationality is not magic; being rational does not require magical potential or royal bloodlines or even amazing gadgets, and the principles of rationality work for understandable reasons. A rationalist!hero should excel by thinking - moreover, thinking in understandable patterns that readers can, in principle, adopt for themselves. As opposed to the hero just being a born “genius” who comes up with amazing gadgets through an opaque discovery process, or who flawlessly pulls off incredibly complicated gambits that would fail miserably if the reader tried something similar in real life. All fanfiction involves borrowing the original author’s characters, situations, and world. It is ridiculous to turn around and complain if your own ideas get borrowed in turn. Anyone is welcome to steal anything from any fanfiction I write. (that is, if/when I write one, but either way, I would appreciate permission first). If you enjoy reading a fic, that’s easy to repay; just leave a review – reviews make authors happy. But what if you learn something from a fic, what if it changes your mind? A favor like that isn’t easy to repay, but what can’t be paid back can often be paid onward. Blog the fic or tweet it or tell your friends, and someone else will get a chance to learn. IV.

He then said: "Listen sir...when I was born I was BLACK, When I grew up I was BLACK, When I'm sick I'm BLACK, When I go in the sun I'm BLACK, When I'm cold I'm BLACK, When I die I'll be BLACK. But you sir, When you're born you're PINK, When you grow up you're WHITE, When you're sick, you're GREEN, When you go in the sun you turn RED, When you're cold you turn BLUE, And when you die you turn PURPLE. And you have the nerve to call me colored?" The black man then sat back down and the white man walked away...

(BOLD the ones you are, indent what's linked to the bold ones, and add whatever you want stereotype-wise.) I was walking around in a Target store, when I saw a cashier hand this little boy some money back. The boy couldn't have been more than 5 or 6 years old. The cashier said, "I'm sorry, but you don't have enough money to buy this doll." Then the little boy turned to the old woman next to him: ''Granny, are you sure I don't have enough money?'' The old lady replied: ''You know that you don't have enough money to buy this doll, my dear.'' Then she asked him to stay there for just 5 minutes while she went to look a round. She left quickly. The little boy was still holding the doll in his hand. Finally, I walked toward him and I asked him who he wished to give this doll to. "It's the doll that my sister loved most and wanted so much for Christmas. She was sure that Santa Claus would bring it to her." I replied to him that maybe Santa Claus would bring it to her afterall, and not to worry. But he replied to me sadly. "No, Santa Claus can't bring it to her where she is now. I have to give the doll to my mommy so that she can give it to my sister when she goes there." His eyes were so sad while saying this. "My sister has gone to be with God. Daddy says that Mommy is going to see God very soon too, so I thought that she could take the doll with her to give it to my sister.'' My heart nearly stopped. The little boy looked up at me and said: "I told daddy to tell mommy not to go yet. I need her to wait until I come back from the mall." Then he showed me a very nice photo of him where he was laughing. He then told me "I want mommy to take my picture with her so she won't forget me. I love my mommy and I wish she doesn't have to leave me, but daddy says that she has to go to be with my little sister." Then he looked again at the doll with sad eyes, very quietly. I quickly reached for my wallet and said to the boy. "Suppose we check again, just in case you do have enough money for the doll?'' "OK," he said, "I hope I do have enough." I added some of my money to his without him seeing and we started to count it. There was enough for the doll and even some spare money. The little boy said: "Thank you God for giving me enough money!" Then he looked at me and added, "I asked last night before I went to sleep for God to make sure I had enough money to buy this doll, so that mommy could give it to my sister. He heard me!'' "I also wanted to have enough money to buy a white rose for my mommy, but I didn't dare to ask God for too much. But He gave me enough to buy the doll and a white rose.'' "My mommy loves white roses." A few minutes later, the old lady returned and I left with my basket. I finished my shopping in a totally different state from when I started. I couldn't get the little boy out of my mind. Then I remembered a local newspaper article two days ago, which mentioned a drunk man in a truck, who hit a car occupied by a young woman and a little girl. The little girl died right away, and the mother was left in a critical state. The family had to decide whether to pull the plug on the life-sustaining machine, because the young woman would not be able to recover from the coma. Was this the family of the little boy? Two days after this encounter with the little boy, I read in the newspaper that the young woman had passed away. I couldn't stop myself as I bought a bunch of white roses and I went to the funeral home where the body of the young woman was exposed for people to see and make last wishes before her burial. She was there, in her coffin, holding a beautiful white rose in her hand with the photo of the little boy and the doll placed over her chest. I left the place, teary-eyed, feeling that my life had been changed forever.. The love that the little boy had for his mother and his sister is still, to this day, hard to imagine. And in a fraction of a second, a drunk driver had taken all this away from him. Now you have 2 choices: 1) Repost this message. 2) Ignore it as if it never touched your heart I didn't write it but when I saw it on somebody elses profile it touched my heart, so I had to repost. I hope you can repost as well. Also, if you have read this and know a drunk driver, or someone who drinks in general, PLEASE HELP THIS PROBLEM AND REDUCE THE NUMBER OF THESE EVENTS THAT HAPPEN, PLEASE! This is a story about God. Read if you believe in him, and read even if you don't. A teenage girl about 17 named Diane had gone to visit some friends one evening and time passed quickly as each shared their various experiences of the past year. She ended up staying longer than planned, and had to walk home alone. She wasn't afraid because it was a small town and she lived only a few blocks away. As she walked along under the tall elm trees, Diane asked God to keep her safe from harm and danger. When she reached the alley, which was a short cut to her house, she decided to take it. However, halfway down the alley she noticed a man standing at the end as though he were waiting for her. She became uneasy and began to pray, asking for God's protection. Instantly a comforting feeling of quietness and security wrapped round her, she felt as though someone was walking with her. When she reached the end of the alley, she walked right past the man and arrived home safely. The following day, she read in the newspaper that a young girl had been raped in the same alley just twenty minutes after she had been there. Feeling overwhelmed by this tragedy and the fact that it could have been her, she began to weep. Thanking the Lord for her safety and to help this young woman, she decided to go to the police station. She felt she could recognize the man, so she told them her story. The police asked her if she would be willing to look at a lineup to see if she could identify him. She agreed and immediately pointed out the man she had seen in the alley the night before. When the man was told he had been identified, he immediately broke down and confessed. The officer thanked Diane for her bravery and asked if there was anything they could do for her. She asked if they would ask the man one question. Diane was curious as to why he had not attacked her. When the policeman asked him, he answered, "Because she wasn't alone. She had two tall men walking on either side of her." Amazingly, whether you believe or not, you're never alone. Did you know that 98% of teenagers will not stand up for God, and 93% of the people that read this won’t repost it? At age 8, your dad buys you an ice cream.

When you were 25, he helped to pay for your wedding, and he told you how deeply he loved you. You thanked him by moving halfway across the country. When you were 50, he fell ill and needed you to take care of him . You thanked him by reading about the burden parents become to their children. And then, one day, he quietly died.

The Wizards Return: Alex Vs. Alex Four: Without looking guess what time it is? 11:15 A.M. (looks at clock, which says 11:14) F, I was so close to having a Chronos moment. Too fast, though. Need more practice. Five: With the exception of the computer, what can you hear? For Honor & Glory by Immediate Music, and my grandpa's snoring. That's an odd combo. Six: When was the last time you stepped outside, what were you doing? This morning (3/17/13), taking out the trash. Seven: Before you started this survey, what did you look at? The television screen, which I have the computer hooked up too. (And yes, I do have a flat screen as my computer moniter. MLIA) Eight: What are you wearing? A grey zip-up jacket with a hood, with a black zip-up sweater underneath, and another shirt under that, which I'm not going to bother to look at. I've also got a black beanie, black fingerless gloves, a thin, blue, complete glove under the black fingerless glove on my left hand (don't ask why), a watch, blue jeans, white socks (or black, not sure which, and I can't be bothered to check), and white sneakers. Yes, I am actually wearing all of that, and no, I am not cold, I just wear it because I want to. I actually usually wear this, despite living in the desert. What can I say, my thermoreceptors are shot, more or less.) Nine: Did you dream last night?

Rat Races (Ah, the comedic stylings of Rowen Atkinson) Fifteen: If you became a multi-millionaire overnight, what would you buy? A Batman-esque lair, to both hide in and "experiment" in.

Oh, and video games. Lots and lots of video games. Sixteen: Tell me something I don't know about you: I am very interested in magic, and if I could accomplish one thing before I pass, I would, at the least, prove the existance of magic, and, if possible, perform magic (and I mean ACTUAL magic, not muggle magic) myself.

I'd get rid of alcoholic beverages, non-medicinal drugs, cigars, and just about every other vice that exists out there. Eighteen: Do you like to dance? Not really. I can sorta dance (like Commander Shepard), but one thing is for sure.

So I will "Leave Out All The Rest" and "Runaway" to be "By Myself." I will find "Somewhere I Belong" and be "One Step Closer" to finding a "Cure For The Itch." I'm living in a "Castle of Glass", and I'd find it easy to "Burn it Down". However, I'm not "Forgotten" because I'm "With You", "Crawling" under your skin like a "Papercut." "In The End" I will find "A Place For My Head" and the "Shadow of The Day" will wipe away "What I've Done."There will be "No More Sorrow" in this "New Divide". Copy and paste this if you have LP Fever. Linkin Park Forever! VI. DPCrazy's Inner Musings Which I Agree With (Be prepared to be confused) -The expected and the unexpected aren't too different. For somewhere along the lines, they have blended. Today, the unexpected is what's expected and the expected never happens. We learn to expect the unexpected. So it is a true marvel when there is something completely different where it has been separated from those blended categories and it becomes the unpredictable. -Newton's Laws of Motion apply to teenagers, too. So, they could also be the Laws of Emotion. An object at rest stays at rest unless forced to move. Teenagers stay calm unless you push them. The relationship between an objects mass (m) and it's acceleration (a) and the applied force (F) is F=ma. The relationship between a teen's mental state (m), attributing push (a), and force of the reaction (F) is expressed as F=ma Every action has an equal and opposite reaction. You force teens to do one thing, they will do the opposite. Force them to be happy; they will be unhappy. Force them to wear bright colors; they will wear dark colors. VII.

DPCRAZY'S GUIDE TO BEATING WRITER'S BLOCK 1. Look at fanart. You'd be suprised how much inspiration it can give. 2. When in doubt, make fun of the characters. Sometimes an idea can form around just the simplest of things. 3. Read other fanfictions. Taking your mind off of your own story for a little bit and reading someone else's may help you think. During certain parts of the story, your mind may drift to alternate scene...maybe something from your story. 4. Do something that gets you off of the computer. Inspiration is all around us in the outside world. 5. Take a walk, pace, or lay down and close your eyes. Forcing story ideas to come to you makes the idea a little stale most of the time. But when it just comes to you, it's usually very good. 6. Write one-shots! Silly little drabbles and one-shots can help tremendously. Maybe you'll come up with a line that inspires you to write something for your other story. And it can take the focus off of your main story for a little bit. IX. Random things you may (or may not) want to know about me 1. I have Toxophobia {fear of poison} (which indirectly gives me Arachnophobia {fear of arachnids, such as spiders and scorpions}, Ophidiophobia {fear of snakes}, and other related phobias), and a fear of car accidents (which I believe to be called Dystichiamaxophobia), though not as severe as to fear cars. 2. Both reasons above are why I would almost NEVER injest alcohol, not even when I reach a mature age, and not even just 1, no matter who says 1 or 2 won't hurt you 3. I'm usually considered smart, but sometimes I have such a low common sense that I think I may be Dyslexic, even though I read and spell fairly well, but on the other hand I do still mix up names fairly often, and especially left and right, and east and west 4. I have terrible hand writing 5. My signature looks like my first and last name in cursive, but dropping and/or replacing specific letters. Won't give out any more info on that. 6. I'm considering Mithridatism (injecting yourself with small amounts of poison to build an immunity), but am very unsure of it as well (for fear of injecting too much poison). 7. I can be very truthful almost all the time (except when it comes to laziness, ;)), mostly because I'm a terrible lier. 8. I believe that if I were an animagus (Harry Potter reference), I'd most likely be a desert hedgehog for several reasons; 9. I have a really crazy group of friends, mostly because we are ALL involved in a type of roleplay we made up, but 1 or 2 of us has somehow blended that with reality. (let's just say, aaawwwwwwkwwwaaaaaarrrd). 10. I have never cursed before (except in my mind, and the first few times when I was learning the words) 11. I can't catch to save my life, so NEVER, even if I say otherwise, trust me to catch a super fragile or super destructive thing (Learned THAT the hard way)};-) 12. I am HORRIBLE when it comes to romance, so never ask me for advise on that, and if, and ONLY IF, anyone is interested, either prepare for heartbreak, or SSLLOOWW moments 13. I'm almost addicted to citrus (lemons, limes, oranges). Random statement 14. You can probably tell, but I rather enjoy DPCrazy's works. 15. My nervous system seems somewhat malfunctional, as I can't really feel the temperature that well, even though it still affects me regularly. Mind you, I'm pretty sure I'd still feel if I were burning, or exposed to liquid nitrogen or something, though that'd be more due to pain, than temperature. So far, my current theory has something to do with a smaller amount of thermoreceptors. 16. I have a mild Compulsive Disorder of Obsession, or CDO, a form of OCD, Obsessive Compulsive Disorder, except alphabetically organized. X.
