Author has written 41 stories for Monster Hunter, Fossil Fighters, Spore, Pokémon, How to Train Your Dragon, Guardians of Ga'Hoole, and Godzilla.
ANNOUNCEMENT TO ALL MY READERS:
I have been getting requests from anonymous guests, on occasion, to continue those stories that I have discontinued. Unfortunately, I'm being bombarded with new story ideas all the time, and I don't know if I'll ever have time to reboot the old ones (especially now that I'm in university, and my workload is huge). For now, it is unlikely that I will ever rewrite my old, discontinued stories. Thank you for your understanding.
With that out of the way - greetings, and many great hellos! I am Cottonmouth25 (or Cm25 for short), and I'm really excited to start contributing to this site! I love to write, and I especially love writing fiction. And I ESPECIALLY like to write fiction about my favorite franchises - that is, Pokemon, Monster Hunter, Fossil Fighters, and How to Train Your Dragon.
When I first made an account on this site, my chief inspirations have been ShayminMarx's Fossil Fighters fanfic and Coli Chibi's Pokemon fanfics. Thanks to these, I've been inspired to write my own FFC fanfic, called "Wrath of the Caliosteo King", and Pokemon fanfic, called "Pokemon Black and White: Tale of a Legend".
Now that I've got much more experience with writing over the past few years, I'm getting inspiration from all kinds of sources. Here's hoping I'll be able to balance my fanfiction-writing alongside my university career, which is growing more and more demanding.
I have many, many more fanfictions planned, so you all have a lot to look forward to!

About my OCs:
Something I want to clear up right away is something that concerns four of my OCs. Namely - Cotton, Taka, Batwings, and Volantes. All of them are based off of me as a person.
In this case, I believe that Cotton is the worst of the quartet. The only difference between him and me is the fact he's an invincible pseudo-villain with a mutation that gives him wings. In hindsight, he's nothing more than an attempt to make myself more awesome, and I'm ashamed for coming up with such a ridiculous character in the first place.
Taka is the same as Cotton, except he can shapeshift instead of fly, and wields a katana.
Batwings is another winged version of me. However, he has several more differences that make him a unique character. He's more confident and more sure of himself than I am, and he doesn't wear glasses like I do. While it isn't a big step forward from Cotton, I personally believe that he is a far better character, and I really like him.
Volantes is the fourth, and he's my favorite. Volan is physically very similar to me - tall, skinny, and lightweight. He has the same features I do, but he's just a little younger than I am now. However, his personality is vastly different and is what sets him apart from Cotton and Batwings. Volan is very mistrustful and is often rude to people he doesn't know, and he has a better mastery of speech than I do (I tend to correct and start over my sentences more often than not, and I pause whenever I need to recover my train of thought). But the best thing about him is that he is a regular human being who is only unique in character, once again setting him apart from Cotton and Batwings.

Fossil Fighters: Frozen Fire (Fossil Fighters)
It has been years since I stopped writing my first Fossil Fighters fanfiction, but I believe that it's time to take another crack at it.

I have already written several chapters, and plan to officially publish it someday. Main Pairing: Volantes (OC) x Lola

Deleted:
Metamorphosis (Monster Hunter)
A horror story involving the spread of a virus called the Frenzy throughout the modern world, resulting in grotesque and horrific mutations based on the monsters from Monster Hunter. I deleted it because I grew disappointed in how I wasn't able to correctly put my ideas into words after the first few chapters.
HTTYD: Legends Are Born (How to Train Your Dragon)
A retelling of the first movie as well as the TV series. Told from a variety of perspectives throughout and featuring several unique OCs to help the dragon riders on their whacky adventures. I deleted it for a number of reasons - I had already discontinued it for years, I had published a remake of sorts ("Monsters of Berk"), and because it was a completely awful story compared to the ones I'm writing now. Main Pairing: Hiccup x Astrid
MOB x HTBAT: How to Fight a Dare War (How to Train Your Dragon/Pokémon/Monster Hunter)
A collaboration between me and a good friend of mine, involving a crossover between the worlds of "Monsters of Berk" and "How to Become a Trainer". The main characters of each world get together to have a silly competition fraught with insanity. How to Train Your Dragon with elements taken from Pokemon and Monster Hunter. I may revive this story someday.
Other:
Septem Daemonia (SPORE)
This fanfiction is something I wrote on paper a long time ago, based on one of my friends' SPORE Galactic Adventures. I have discontinued it and will be updating it as soon as I get the chance.

Today we mourn the passing of a beloved old friend, Common Sense, who has been with us for many years. No one knows for sure how old he was, since his birth records were long ago lost in bureaucratic red tape.
He will be remembered as having cultivated such valuable lessons as: Knowing when to come in out of the rain; why the early bird gets the worm; Life isn't always fair; and maybe it was my fault.
Common Sense lived by simple, sound financial policies (don't spend more than you can earn) and reliable strategies (adults, not children, are in charge). His health began to deteriorate rapidly when well-intentioned but overbearing regulations were set in place. Reports of a 6 year-old boy charged with sexual harassment for kissing a classmate; teens suspended from school for using mouthwash after lunch; and a teacher fired for reprimanding an unruly student, only worsened his condition.
Common Sense lost ground when parents attacked teachers for doing the job that they themselves had failed to do in disciplining their unruly children. It declined even further when schools were required to get Parental consent to administer Calpol, sun lotion or a band-aid to a student; but could not inform parents when a student became pregnant and wanted to have an abortion.
Common Sense lost the will to live as the Ten Commandments became contraband; churches became businesses; and criminals received better treatment than their victims.
Common Sense took a beating when you couldn't defend yourself from a burglar in your own home and the burglar could sue you for assault.
Common Sense finally gave up the will to live, after a woman failed to realize that a steaming cup of coffee was hot. She spilled a little in her lap, and was promptly awarded a huge settlement.
Common Sense was preceded in death by his parents, Truth and Trust; his wife, Discretion; his daughter, Responsibility; and his son, Reason.
He is survived by his 3 stepbrothers; I Know My Rights, Someone Else Is To Blame, and I'm A Victim. Not many attended his funeral because so few realized he was gone.
If you still remember him, pass this on. If not, join the majority and do nothing. (This is so sad because it’s true.)
Thank you for stopping by to take the time to read all of this. Enjoy my fanfics, everyone!
