Update 11/1/2017: I made a Ko-fi. If you donate and leave a message saying you're donating towards fanfiction, that money will literally buy me a coffee that gets my ass into a coffee shop with a guaranteed hour of writing.

Buy me a coffee.

First, some general disclaimers:

Before you ask any questions, please know that anything pre-2014 is gross and I don't delete any of those stories to keep myself humble. I do not write Tokyo Mew Mew anymore, and all incomplete stories are in permanent hiatus. Seriously though, I had real issues with sticking to one tense and using the words "pinkette" and "orbs" to describe eyes.

I don't typically review stories thoroughly unless asked, or I'm completely overwhelmed. I will give basic feedback on things like readability and flow of writing. I'd like to start reviewing regularly, but unfortunately, this requires time!

Certain grammatical issues are not worth splitting hairs. Popular example within the Pokémon fandom being capitalization. Arguments over capitalization are classist and refuse to acknowledge the constant changing of language as an art-form of and within itself. I view capitalization similarly to cases such as vernacular/jargon specific to cultures and the use of singular "they." If someone deems it acceptable, then there is no use in arguing. My blood boils when "your education system is proven a joke" is used as a way to diminish a human's writing. Guess what? It probably was, and that's not on them. Grammar elitists who make criticism without offering additional supplemental productive material are what's actually wrong with our education system. It's classist, gross, and as an educator, these are not humans with which I want to associate. You are not an educator, you are an elitist, so stay in your lane.

Here is my disclaimer to Pokémon protagonist ages.

And if the above link still isn't working (thanks fanfiction dot net), go to the "soaringillusions" tumblr, backslash "tagged" then backslash "about". About three posts in is a read more post of my disclaimer!

Current Status:

lol i just write when i can, my dudes

Other Projects:

Clear Body (Pokémon, gameverse, ORAS) - This is a story about May and Steven. But actually, it's a story about Metagross.

Future Projects:

DELTATALE (Pokémon, gameverse, multiverse) - “Trusting that we’ll meet again; it fills you with D E T E R M I N A T I O N.”

TM45 (Pokémon, gameverse, ORAS) - If Brendan, Brawly, Chaz, Steven, and Wallace got in a fight, who would win? Honestly, probably Brawly, but that doesn't mean the rest won't try. The reverse-harem you've all been waiting for.

Seasonal Tendencies (Story of Seasons, AU) - Farming life has been a challenge but rewarding all the same. When the villagers' behaviors become more suspicious as the seasons turn, Minori grows more curious by the day of their peculiarities. Curiosity killed the cat, but the drama of the supernatural brought it back.

Standing By (Fairy Tail, AU, title pending) - From the prompt "Write about the Dragon saving the Princess from the Prince." Igneel and Layla are connected in more ways than one.
