Author has written 7 stories for Evangelion. Name: David Rank: Uhhh... I'll get back to you on that. Favorite Music: I like most types of Rock (Classic, Metal, Alternative) however not a fan of the emo crap the kids are listening to today. Some examples are AC/DC, Rolling Stones, The Who, Metallica, Guns n' Roses, Green Day, Red Hot Chilli Peppers, Pearl Jam. I am also a fan of jazz and classsical music. I don't care what you say, Beethoven was a pimp, I mean have you heard his 9th sympthony? Favorite Movies: Braveheart, Crash, Schindler's List, (now for a complete 180) 40 Year Old Virgin, Tommy Boy, The End of Evangelion Favorite TV: Law and Order SVU, Scrubs, Southpark, Venture Brothers, Family Guy, Futurama Anime: Until recently I wasn't a fan of anime. In fact I looked down on it. Early exposure to Sailor Moon, Dragonball Z, and Pokemon were negative influences. But a couple years ago, when I was watching Adult Swim (for Family Guy and such) I stuck around for a certain show called Neon Genesis Evangelion. First off, I love this series; the animation, the content, the music. Second it showed me that not all anime is created equal. Now I like Fullmetal Alchemist, FLCL, and currently just finished watching Eureka 7. I've heard good things about Rahxephon and am in the process of watching that too. This Site: The way Neon Genesis Evangelion ended (especially in End of Evangelion) was not paticularly satisfying. I think I said "WHAT!" approximately 50 times after the last scene ended. In a subconcious search for a better ending, I came across this place. While not all Eva fics concern the ending of the series, it is nice and refreshing to see the characters you've grown attached to, find happiness (sometimes) or at least see a different posiblity. After thinking about what I would have liked to have happened I came up with a general idea. I didn't think about writing it until seeing this site. Speaking of this site, I recently found the EvSoc forum on it. It is dedicated to improving the quality of Eva Fanfiction through its members giving exellent reviews that truely help the author by giving good advice. I became a member because I think that the Eva Fanfiction out their is good, but definately could be better. Some pairings I like to see happen: First and foremost, Shinji and Asuka. Come on, if you've watched the series you know the two had the hots for each other. Any other pairings with Shinji I don't find believable. Though if I'm reading a ShinjixRei fic, I won't hate it automatically (but it will take a little bit more effort to sway me). Some others I like to see in a fic: MisatoxKaji (I know Kaji dies but the two are perfect for each other), TojixHikari (The class rep and the class clown, its like the odd couple!) KensukexRei (I'm not a huge fan of this pairing, but I don't mind it; I mean those two don't get any lovin') KaworuxThe Fist of Eva Unit 01 (I don't really hate the 17th angel, in fact his episode is one of my favorites, on the other hand I hate when he is paired with Shinji) Now some pairings no no's according to me: ShinjixMisato (not right, shes twice his age and hes only 14 and during the series shes been his guardian, surrogate mother and big sister) ShinjixHikari (it is clearly shown in both the series and manga that Hikari likes Toji; this one isn't as bad as some of the others though) ShinjixRitsuko (if you thought SxM was bad...) ShinjixKaworu (Nooooooo) AsukaxRei: (When they say opposites attract, they didn't know about this "potential pairing, come on they hate each other's guts) HyugaxMisato (The nerd and the hot foxy momma... ok, so its not so bad and is possible because Hyuga is shown to have a crush on Misato in the last few episodes and movie) Last and certainly least favorite ShinjixGendo (I've only seen one story with this pairing, it was disturbing, the story itself was good, but disturbing nonetheless) |
