*January 2017 Update: Stay tuned for the next chapters of my stories! Currently, my main focus is on Ninjago (Preeminent Rising), but I want to return to my other works eventually and bring them up to par. I've got so many beautiful plans, mwahahaha... I'm pretty busy though, so I only update sporadically.

-Active Stories-

* Preeminent Rising (Ninjago): Halfway through writing the first draft of chapter 13.

-Inactive Stories (temporary hiatus)- (but feel free to shoot me a PM if you want to hear about what I've got planned!)

* A Different Kind of Hero (Star Wars: The Clone Wars): I need to revise the current chapters to make Arisu's introduction and characterization better and I have several future plot holes to figure out.

* Light in the Midst of Darkness (Eragon): I have a huge overhaul for this one planned with more focus on character/plot development, such as making Tivittica a long-term Varden spy serving under a minor magician who works for Galbatorix, so expect some love on this story down the road!

* Book 3: Fire of the Rising Sun (Avatar: The Last Airbender): I need to revise the current chapters and get back into writing this thing, especially since I've done a lot more extensive plotting on where this story will go. Probably need to change the title too.

* Shades of Gray (Star Wars): Again, this story needs the current chapters revised (especially since I've become much more seeped in the Star Wars universe since I first started writing) and have several future plot holes to figure out.

* Dawn of Knight (Lego Knights Kingdom AU): The good news is this story planted the seeds for my own original work. The bad news is I'm no longer writing on this story (and that I only posted the first few pages out of a bit over a hundred...). However, I had a lot of fun in this world, so I'm contemplating doing some one-shots as writing exercise.

So generally speaking, I just need to revise, rinse, and repeat! ;)

-New Story Plans-

*Paladins: Champions of the Realm: I don't need any more story ideas. I really don't. Buuut my head is full of ideas again, mostly for a Zhin-centered fic dealing with the fallout from Koga's banishment from the Thousand Hands Guild and Lian frustrated by Jenos' escape after the battle for Ascension Peak. Zhin is searching for a missing contact of his, gets roped into hunting Jenos, finds himself allied with Jenos, and gets dragged into an even bigger mess involving the Magistrate and the Abyss. Oh, and Koga's finally decided to go for his revenge, so Zhin's time here just keeps getting better and better. I may make this a oneshot series, but we'll see.

* Danny Phantom: Collaborating for the first time with a friend on this! Set after the series finale during Danny and co.'s senior year but with no Phantom Planet, this story will deal with Vlad's plan to off Jack once and for all. He'll use his two new, loyal weapons--Rako (my character), a half-ghost boy through ghostly kidnapping and experimentation, and Penny, a girl with some psychic connections to ghosts--to befriend Danny and of course be in place to turn on him when Vlad needs it most. But there's lots of other things that will happen, like Rako having to deal with the trauma from his kidnapping/experimentation, killing Skulker and launching the Ghost Zone investigation of the century, and also falling for Valerie along the way... Yeah, those teenage years suck.

* Deltora Quest: Ol-hunter-turned-Resistance-fighter Autumn prides herself on defeating the Shadow Lord's servants, but is having difficulty adjusting to being part of a team. Doom has her work with their new recruit Dain, and in him Autumn eventually finds a friend and equal. But time is running out for them, as Lief is searching for the Belt of Deltora's gems and Dain has sinister plans of his own... Starts before Lief's quest and interweaves throughout the series.

* Sky High: Janessa Grayson lives in the shadow of her sister, Gwen, and wants nothing more than to have her own, quiet, Gwen-free time at Sky High. But she's in for a major disappointment. After eventually befriending Warren Peace and, by extension, getting to know Will et al, Janessa finds herself caught up in Gwen's machinations just as much as the others. Retelling of the movie from Janessa's POV with some tweaking to the plot, including an alternative to that whole Pacifier-turns-everyone-into-babies ending.

* Ninjago-Harry Potter Crossover Oneshot Series: Because the thought of the ninja running around getting into mischief at Hogwarts seems entertaining. This would just be some short, light oneshots of ninja shenanigans.

* Lego Knights Kingdom AU Oneshots: Working on Lego Ninjago makes me somewhat nostalgic about this world, so I might revisit here for a short oneshot or two.

* Skyrim?: Nothing solid planned so far, but maybe a oneshot or something down the road.
