Author has written 4 stories for Pokémon, Harry Potter, Percy Jackson and the Olympians, and Sekirei. So, I'm still around. Kind of. In fact, I recently started writing again for the first time in years. While I do intend to publish something, I can't really tell you what because I'm currently jumping between a dozen different idea's. I can't even tell you which fandom it's going to be in because I'm working in plenty of those as well. Pokemon Percy Jackson and the Olympians Harry Potter Naruto Sword Art Online High School DxD One Piece Fairy Tail Fire Emblem Black Lagoon Sekirei (RWBY) - I haven't actually written anything here, but I do have plans. Kind of. Throw in various crossovers between them as well and you might begin to see why I'm struggling a bit on what, exactly, I'm going to end up publishing first. Just to tease you though, I'll give you brief overviews of various stories I'm working on. Naruto: OC Nara. Three years older than Naruto. Graduates age ten and joins ANBU. The story is basically about a Konoha that doesn't rely on Naruto and friendship punches to survive. A more logical approach to the shinobi world. I enjoy the idea, but I absolutely ruined it while writing chapter three. I'll get back to it eventually, probably, but for now it's dead. Naruto: A complete rewrite of the story with the assumption that Konoha is not run by idiots. The academy does its job. Kakashi actually teaches. Naruto learns. Sasuke heals. Sakura doesn't fangirl. And other assorted improvements. Fun story. I enjoy it. I'm currently stuck on way too much exposition at the beginning causing the story to drag. I'll probably find a fix eventually, but for now the story is stalled partway through the first chapter. Naruto: The Kyuubi isn't just a ball of idiocy and anger, instead having a bit of intelligence and cunning. Basically, the Kyuubi raises Naruto. And does so without being harem bait or a doormat. Or stupidly in love with Naruto for some asinine reason ('Oh no! I'm a demon, but your life is so tragic I can't help but love you Naruto!' - No. Gag me.) Also, it is majorly AU. Primarily, I'm basing it off of pre-Shippuden Naruto. While some of the characters from Shippuden will show up, the feel of Shippuden (the ninja DBZ garbage. Way to completely change the tone of series. Way to sell out.) I really like it. However, don't get your hopes up. I really like all the idea's I'm listing, yet none have managed to hold my interest for more than a few chapters. For this one, I'm currently working on the third chapter. For a visual referance to the Kyuubi's appearance: highlight, right click, search google for " " kongiku sakura simosi It should be the first thing that pops up. Harry Potter: Harry, thoroughly disappointed with the magical world after his fourth year, leaves Hogwarts to attend a mysterious school to complete his education. Initially inspired by "A Second Chance At Life" this goes in a different direction. Drastically. This focuses far more on imagining an actually magical Earth. Far more exploration into magic in a dozen different direction, far more about the various species of intelligent magical life, no OP species (*cough* vampires *cough*), a larger look at the actual history of this world, and a story completely contained to Earth, because why bring in other worlds or aliens or whatever when a truly magical Earth could provide all the story you need. I like the idea, but it requires a ton of world-building. While I'm slowly working on it, I doubt I'll ever get around to making real progress on it. Pokemon: Rewrite of Ash's journey. You know, a fairly common idea. In this case, he still has Pikachu as a starter, because seriously, you can't take Pikachu away from Ash. Not a lot to say about plot as most people have a pretty good idea of the plot of Pokemon. Naturally I make my own changes to make it interesting, but I don't feel like spoiling it since I'm still writing it. I really want to write this. The thing holding me back from it is trying to build the bond between Ash and Pikachu, because that is basically the backbone of any Pokemon story. Once I get that done right, this story will take off. PJatO: A full rewrite of the series, just with a more logical take to it. Rather than a story about good morals designed for middle schoolers, this will be geared for an older audience. Something high schoolers and adults will be able to read and properly enjoy. Slow going. I actually know exactly how I want this to go, I've just not had any motivation to write in this fandom for a while. When the motivation does show up, I also lean more towards the other PJO story I'm writing. SAO: OC-centric. Actually, my lack of desire to create a ton of OC's caused me to borrow characters. The MC and his guild are all based off character from Fire Emblem: The Sacred Stones. Anyways, this is an entire story actually dedicated to SAO. Not 14 episodes shooting through SAO at top speed before crapping out and quitting after 75 floors. This is a "What if SAO was actually about SAO, instead of being about Kirito exploring every crappy vrmmorpg he can find?" Also, I hope to fix at least some of the glaring plot holes and idiocy of the series. It's fun and I enjoy it, but I hate SAO which kind of takes away some of my motivation. It might get done, it might not. We'll see. Fire Emblem: Awakening crossed with The Sacred Stones. The premise is simple: Lucina, shattered from her life in her original time and being held together by her desire to see Grima dead and the promise of a future granted by her marriage to Robin, falls apart with her goal completed and her husband dead. To try and escape her nightmares and memories, she travels as far away from Ylisse as she can, eventually joining a mercenary troupe and meeting Joshua. This story is one I really want to write, but can't because I'm terrible at handling angst. If I can ever overcome that problem, this will jump to the top of my list. One Piece: (working title): We Three Kings. Luffy, Ace, and Sabo all make it out of the Gray Terminal aftermath alive and well. Sticking together, they eventually leave Dawn Island to become pirates, sailing under the same flag. Interesting idea, it's been done before. I have a few idea's to make mine original, but nowhere near enough to actually start writing it. One Piece: (working title): The King's Disposition. Luffy, during the bandit incident with Shanks, unlocks his haki. While Shanks doesn't train him in it, he does give him some advice on how to train himself. When he eventually sets out, he's ready for the danger ahead. In the path of the King, the world trembles in fear. In the wake of the King, the world stands in awe. With a strength of Will to Conquer the greatest of King's, Monkey D. Luffy sets forth on his journey. Beware, for the King cometh. Well, something like that. I need to work a bit more on the dramatic summary, but that's the general premise. If I ever regain my motivation to write in this fandom, this is what I'll focus on. Probably. High School Dxd X Harry Potter: Harry holds the Sacred Gear Annihilation Maker. He's slightly crazy for reasons relating to how his Sacred Gear works. The DoM's is to maintain the wizarding world's independence from other supernatural factions. They take Harry after his gear activates. Along the way, during a visit to Japan, Harry picks up Akeno. Neither of them become devils. The plot of Harry Potter doesn't take too long to get through considering how OP Harry is in that world, but the transition to the DxD plot is where things get interesting. A for fun kind of story. It also won't have quite as much fanservice/harem/lemon/etc. that most DxD stories bog themselves down with. Fairy Tail X Harry Potter: Stop me if you've heard this before. Infant Harry ends up in a different world, gets raised by whatever supernatural power exists in it, then gets summoned back to Hogwarts for the Tri-wizard tournament. This story, is a little different than that. For one, the entire first book takes place in Fairy Tail. It covers his childhood all the way through the disastrous S-Class exams, at which point book one ends and Harry is summoned via tri-wizard cup hax0r powers. Book two then provides the absolute craziest tri-wizard tournament year you've ever read. Guaranteed or your money back. Also, while S-Class, this isn't some OP Harry turding all over HP canon. While strong, he's not that strong. Anyways, after that, we get book three. This takes place back in Fiore immediately after the tournament. That means Harry shows up in Magnolia eight months after everyone disappeared. This book focuses on the guild recovering after the disaster and not becoming Twilight Ogre's gimp. Then we move onto Book four and finish out the series. I have a lot of plans for this series and I've written a few chapters already. If I can keep it up and get 100k written, I'll go through and do proper edits and then publish it, even if I never finish it. Black Lagoon X Harry Potter: Stop me if you've heard this before: Harry Potter, older brother to the (W)B/GHL isn't raised by his parents, being abandoned for some incomprehensible reason (poopy plot) so they can focus on said sibling. Harry then gets picked up by some other power in the world and raised to be some awesome buttkicker before returning to Hogwarts to show everyone his awesomeness. Nope. Not happening. This takes the novel approach of separating Harry from the Potter's without destroying the character's of Lily and James in a really easy manner I've never seen before. That doesn't mean it hasn't been done, simply that I haven't seen it. The Potter's targets to all of Voldemort's old supporters gets attacked during a trip to Diagon Alley. It doesn't end with mysteriously OP Lily kicking butt and taking names. Instead, it ends with poor little Harry being kidnapped. Through a series of truly unfortunate events, he ends up working for Chang in Roanapour. Oh boy. Black Lagoon is amazing. Absolutely amazing. I really want to write this. So, I probably will. Eventually. Maybe. At some point. I'll at least think about it. PJatO X Harry Potter: Starting premise was thus: Hades got Persephone pregnant after WWII. Afraid that Zeus would look at this as an attempt to gain power and overthrow him, Hades takes the divine soul, wraps it in a mortal soul, and then inserts it into the line of mortal souls waiting to be born with the idea being that when mortal being died, they would be self aware enough that the transition to godhood would be fairly quick, protecting said person from Zeus's wrath. Also, that in the time that would pass, Zeus would calm down. Unfortunately, the soul was born as Harry Potter. Things happen. I've got most of a chapter written, but it has an exposition problem that I need to fix. If I can, this story will see a lot of writing and probably get published. Hey look, I actually published something. Don't get your hopes up though. I live to disappoint. HP X Sekirei: Working title: Harry Potter and the Freedom of Apathy. Pre-fifth year. All the crap he's experienced since entering the wizarding world finally catches up with Harry when he's hanging out with the Dursley's after Voldemort's rebirth. Taking some time to think about it, he realizes he simply doesn't care. Sure, Voldemort is bad, but the rest of the wizarding world isn't any better. Luckily, there's that nice convenient trial at the ministry he has to deal with. A talk with Fudge and everyone can get what they want. Of course, freedom from the wizarding world is nice and all, but he still has the same old luck to deal with, and his first stop has him meeting Karasuba. It's all downhill from there. Bumping the HP world by 10 years. Sekirei were found in 1999, this starts in 2005. Sekirei plan is still a long ways away. Harry becomes Ashikabi of the Disciplinary Squad after the first generation but before the second, as such, he ends up winging Karasube, Matsu, and Yume. Oh yeah, and things change. Also, I'm getting rid of a lot of the stupid in both series. Kind of. PJatO: OC son of Ares. MC is around Luke's age and is a son of Ares. It is currently planned as a trilogy, but as I write it, if story length seems to be getting out of hand that could change. Anyways, this story has a large focus on the supernatural world outside of camp. The vast majority of it occurs away from camp and away from PJ himself. While part of the motivation for this is exploring the world of Greek gods a bit more, a large part of the motivation for this is that Ares gets absolutely tarred across the entire fandom. It's horrible. He's not a good guy here, but since we're not operating on the premise of a kids book, bad guy does not equal bad character. And hey, I published it. Woohoo. Yay. Go me. HOW I DECIDE WHAT I WRITE: Well, I have a desktop at home and a laptop for school. I have different stories saved to each of them. While I do have them all saved to cloud storage, actually setting that up on my computers seems like too much hassle. So, for now, that means I'm working on Freedom of Apathy at home and Diomedes Black at school. Also, keep in mind I'm doing full time college. Which currently means 18 credits, including such fun as Differential Equations. So, I don't actually have much time for writing at all write now. However, I do hope to have a few more chapters ready by the time spring break comes around. So don't complain. I'm well aware of my faults and my inability to successfully prioritize in such a way as to make everyone happy. Get over it. On the other hand, I have no intention of working on my other story idea's at the moment. I'm going to try and actually finish a story. Here's to hoping. Anyways, that is a general overview of some of what I'm working on at the moment. If you are looking for updates to my two old stories, tough luck. By which I mean I have no motivation to finish either of them and so they will sit there, abandoned by there father, to be forever laughed at by the entirety of the internet. Okay, how about some opinions? Pokemon Gen 5: Garbage. I hated it years ago, I still hate it today. What I can say, is that it's not a nostalgia problem because Gen's 6 and 7 are great. Gen 5 though, is just terrible in every way. Since I don't really like bashing things, in any Pokemon story I write, I'll just do my best to avoid the region entirely. Gen 6: I really liked it. Team flare was pretty great until the now standard shoving of a legendary down the player's throat. Seriously, that is the worst plot addition in Pokemon history. The game itself was pretty good though. My biggest problem is that it was stupidly easy. I got to the elite 4 with a full party and my weakest pokemon was 10 levels above Diantha's Gardevoir. ORAS was pretty good. Hoenn was never my favorite, but the remake was still a pretty enjoyable game. Gen 7: Hmm. It was different. Generally it was pretty good, but it was way to structured. It was impossible to walk five feet in the game without someone popping up telling you what you had to do, how to do it, and what you couldn't do until you did it. It felt like I was playing a walkthrough, which was a little disappointing considering how good the region was. The other problem was Team Skull. Because seriously, wtf? My first encounter with them, I simply couldn't stop laughing for five minutes. And it only got worse from there. Amazingly, their greatest accomplishment was showing me that it was possible for a criminal organization to be stupider than Team Plasma. One final gripe, I wish the Victory Road's, or whatever they're called in a given region, were actually challenging. Like make them difficult to get through so that doing so actually feels like an accomplishment. Naruto Pre-Shippuden: This was actually pretty good. In middle school, I was super-awesome. Therefore, I hated Naruto for fun without ever actually seeing it. When I did finally get around to watching it nearer to the end of high school, I was pleasantly surprised. This was actually a really good show. Sure, Sakura was annoying, Sasuke was an angsty kid, and Kakashi wasn't really the best teacher, but that didn't really take away from how good the show was. Naruto was great, the fights were great, the plot was pretty great as well. And, for all the mediocre characters, there were plenty of amazing ones as well. Gaara, Lee, Shikamaru, Shino, Itachi, Kisame, Jiraiya (Before we knew he was Naruto's godfather and yet abandoned him), Tsunade, Pakkun, Orochimaru, the list goes on. This was a good show, with good characters, good fights, and a good premise. Honestly, it gets far more hate than it deserves. Shippuden: No. Nope. Post-timeskip, Naruto feels like a series that was popular, and so to appeal to this massive fanbase and try to hold onto that power, it sold it. The entire tone of the series changed and it felt like DBZ with ninjas. Which works for some people, but heathen that I am, I hate DBZ. By the time Naruto joined the fourth war, I couldn't watch any more. Which was a good thing because apparently Kaguya happened. Everything I've found out about that is horrifying. As if it wasn't close enough to DBZ already, we get super-powered aliens showing up trying to enslave the world. Or destroy it. Or something equally stupid. Bleh. Then, there is the fact that the entire plot of Naruto shouldn't have happened. Obito had access to his own personal pocket dimension. He should have simply warped a jinchuriki into it, let them starve to the brink of death, and then sealed the biju in the statue. Rinse and repeat. The ten-tails gets brought back without issue and Zetsu does his little betrayal stunt and brings back Kaguya. Game over. Still, it wasn't a complete waste. Shippuden did provide us with some amazing characters of it's own. The rest of the Akatsuki was pretty damned cool. As was the Mizukage, the Raikage, and Kurotsuchi. Killer B and the rest of the Jinchuriki were pretty good as well. And, unlike a lot of people, I liked Danzo. His character wasn't used to it's best potential, but he was still a pretty good villain. If one ignores the entirety of the plot, Shippuden was actually fairly good. Harry Potter When looked at as the children's books they are, Harry Potter is a very good series. On the other hand, my opinion of a lot of the characters differs greatly from the general perceived views of the fannon community. Harry/Ginny: I have no problems with this. I don't necessarily like it, but I don't have the deep hatred of it that so many do. The idea that the only way Ginny could get Harry is with love potions is so stupid as to be asinine. Harry is a sixteen year old boy. Ginny is at least a mildly attractive young woman. Puberty and hormones are horrible things and it is perfectly possible to look at someone you've known for years and suddenly realize that they're attractive and you'd like to bang them. That is called being a teenager. I know this because I was once a teenager and every now and then, I'd go to school and notice a girl that I'd known for a few years and for some reason only just then realized was attractive. The idea that this happened to Harry in regards to Ginny really just shows that he's human. By the time you get to post-Voldemort, Harry has known Ginny for years and dated her for a few months, the idea he wants to reestablish that relationship to have something to hold onto as he recovers from his trauma is reasonable. Maybe not healthy, but still reasonable. That it worked out in the end is because this is a kids book and living happily ever after is expected. Harry: Where to start, well, I think the main thing to keep in mind is that his canon self doesn't have a lot of character. He's the most passive protagonist to have ever existed. In every situation he's faced with, it's not him choosing to get involved, it's someone or something else trying to make him get involved and him not having the strength of spine to say 'no'. One of the most amusing things about fanon is the idea that he's actually slytherin. He has no grand ambition and his cunning is, if anything, even less existent. In canon, his being almost sorted into slytherin is simply a plot device to compare him to Voldemort later in the series. While he's not necessarily a bad MC, he's certainly not a good one either. He simply exists to experience the plot. Hermione: My least favorite character. Unlike Harry who simply experiences the plot, occasionally doing weird things to move it along, Hermione is a plot bludgeon. Her character possesses no consistency at all. For all the talk of her intelligence, it very rarely actually shows up. In fact, it only seems to appear when the plot demands Harry get an answer to a problem, or a new spell, or some facet of the world explained to him. Other than that, she just hangs around and is annoying. She's arrogant about her beliefs, refusing to accept that she might be wrong. She's controlling, seen constantly during her interactions with Harry and Ron. And, frankly, she's just a generally terrible character. As for the idea of pairing her with Harry, that's actually a terrible idea. She's a control freak and Harry doesn't have a spine. A relationship between them would be more akin to a dog and his owner. She would tell him what to do and how to do it, he would simply do as told. Either that, or her controlling personality would finally break through and Harry would blow up at her, destroying any semblance of a positive relationship she might have had. Ron: He is the most human of the three protagonists. The fact that this results in the overwhelming character bashing he receives in many stories is, as a result, ironically amusing. As the youngest of six brothers, the idea that he wants to stand out enough to be recognized is something to be expected of him, not something to call him a self-centered monster about. His jealous explosion during the tri-wizard tournament is a perfect example of adolescent friendship. The stupid things that cause rifts to form between friends is a fairly common practice in reality. They tend to be clearly stupid from an outside perspective, but for the people involved it's often the most important thing they can imagine. The fact that he was self-aware enough to realize his mistake within a couple of weeks and apologize for it is a sign of good character. Hating on the awkwardness of the apology is pointless. Teenagers have absolutely ridiculous ego's, the fact that he overcame his enough to admit fault, apologize, and try to reconnect with his once friend is what really matters about that scene. Then the Horcrux hunt. People destroy him for abandoning Harry and Hermione during that. To which I say, "What?" I mean, seriously, that locket contained a fragment of Voldemort's soul. The guy is supposedly the worst dark lord in centuries and during second year we saw what a fragment of 16 year old voldie was capable of. The idea that a fragment of older, stronger, smarter Voldemort could influence Ron enough to make him do something stupid isn't an indictment of his character, it's merely an acknowledgement of the fact that 17 year old Ron does not compare in power or ability to the most dangerous dark lord in centuries. The fact that once he was free of the influence he realized his error and spent considerable effort trying to correct it is, once more, the true statement about his character. He's not perfect, powerful, a genius, or The Hero; instead, he's simply human in a way that none of the other protagonists are. And truthfully, that makes him the best of the three. How about lists of favorites? I'll start with video games.
How about food?
Well, that's all for now. I'll update this more as the motivation to do so arises. If you want a good chuckle, check out the, uh, adequate? stories on my original account from back when I was a butthurt teenager. /u/3689836/chilledcactus Seriously, I was a butthurt teenager. I got constructive criticism in a review and it offended me so deeply I stopped writing for a little bit and then created a new account to get away from it. Oh joy, the wonders of childhood. Ha, I actually updated it. Hey, I published something, lets all have a hug party! And then cry together because it will be five years before I do it again. Hey, I published another thing. More hugs for everyone. But that's it. No more stories. Just these two for the foreseeable future. |
