Alias: Miny

Likes: Anime/manga, music, writing, reading... the usual.

About myself: I'm in my senior year of college with a Computer Science Major and a Mathematics Minor. Overall, I'm an easy person to get along with and am more than willing to be friendly with someone, so long as they show the same towards me.

About my writing: I am an OC writer, and I am very proud it admit such a fact. I put forth a lot of effort into the characters I create for writing purposes. I create characters with the idea of hopefully adding something interesting to the story I am writing. Be it a tough pirate chick who has to learn to be softer (Ember Silver), or a servant girl who is broken from her bondage and must learn who she really is (Kala), or even some character I have yet to create. I try to make my characters grow through their stories and while I do include romance in these stories, I try to focus more on the character growth and how a romance works with that. I'm not the best at it, but it's a continuing process and I like to think I'm getting better with each story I write.

Despite the fact that I write OC stories, I actually read very few of them, simply for the reason that I can't stand to. Yes, you've read correctly. I can hardly stand to read the very story types that I write. "But why, Miny?" you may ask. Or "Well, that's rather hypocritical of you" you may judge. But let's be honest, not all OC fics are top quality. I'm not saying my work is top quality--far from it. But when it comes to me finding a story I want to read, I'd rather not spend my time reading about Miss Mary Sue and how she made the hottest guy fall for her and her 'quirky' nature through sheer force of will and the fact that the universe loves her. I've come across so many of those that I'm too wary to read many OC fics. The ones that I do spend my time reading, however, are very good and I would recommend anyone that looks through my favorites list to check some of them out to see if they might be your cup of tea.

Here are the statuses on my stories.

Completed

Title: Here
Fandom: Yu-Gi-Oh
Genre: Friendship/Romance
Rating: K
Pairings: Seto/OC, hinted
Brief Summary: Seto's childhood friend is attacked and a promise is made
Author Notes: Titled after the song by Rascal Flatts. Really random and a sucky summary I just gave you. Sorry, but this was spur of the moment and really didn't matter much, in my opinion. It could have turned out a lot better, if I'd put more time and effort into it. It's decent, but not great.

Title: Ebony's December
Fandom: Yu-Gi-Oh
Genre: General
Rating: K
Pairings: None
Brief Summary: Ebony Sharpe is walking through an Egypt exhibit in the local museum and strange things keep coming to her mind. Story is better than summary, I promise. It's a songfic using "Once Upon A December" from the movie Anastasia.
Author Notes: Another spur of the moment, but much better-written than "Here."

Title: Raimundo Lies
Fandom: Xiaolin Showdown
Genre: Tragedy/ Friendship
Rating: T
Pairings: None
Brief Summary: When Alyssa arrived at her house, there were tearstains streaked down her cheeks. Her father walked into the hallway to find her there. “Alyssa,” he questioned. “Daddy, Raimundo lies," she whispered, her voice breaking.
Author Notes: Inspired by the song "Alyssa Lies" by Jason Michael Carroll. Kinda sad, and does involve religion and character death. Not one of my better works, but half-way decent, I suppose.

Title: Never Gonna Be Alone
Fandom: Treasure Planet
Genre: Adventure/Romance
Rating: T
Pairings: Jim/OC
Brief Summary: Jim and Anya were the best of friends, since birth. They dreamed of finding Flint's trove as children, but could never have imagined the adventure they'd go through when a strange salamander crash lands at the Benbow Inn.
Author Notes: Titled after the song by Nickelback. Basically, the movie with another character added in, but I have gotten quite a few good marks on this.

Title: My Brothers
Fandom: Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles
Genre: Tragedy/Hurt/Comfort
Rating: T
Pairings: None
Brief Summary: A series of oneshots told from the point of view of an OC, the turtles' "sister" of sorts.
Author Notes: All of these include character death and just go through how the OC would feel about the deaths of each of her brothers, and how she'd cope.

Title: Blank Sheet of Paper
Fandom: Naruto
Genre: Angst/Romance
Rating: T
Pairings: onesided Sasusaku
Brief Summary: I’m just your average 8 1/2 by 11 sheet of paper. I’m not even lined. What knowledge could I possible have if there’s nothing written on me, right? Well, I’ll let you in on a little secret. I know exactly what’s going on.
Author Notes: Titled after the song by Tim McGraw. I wrote this to test myself, trying an unusual point of view and, honestly, I was pretty pleased with the result.

Title: Was Never Intended As Such
Fandom: Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles
Genre: Tragedy/Family
Rating: T
Pairings: None
Brief Summary: Things change. If there’s anything I’ve learned in the past thirty years, it’s that. Thirty years ago, Donatello disappeared without a trace. To put my life in the simplest possible terms, it’s gone straight to hell.
Author Notes: This is a SAINW fic using a character I've created. The initials of the title are the inverse of the title.

Title: Truth Beneath the Rose
Fandom: Treasure Planet
Genre: Adventure/Romance
Rating: T
Pairings: Jim/OC
Brief Summary: “Sometimes… plans go astray.” Those were the words of my father, Captain John Silver. Truer words have never been spoken, especially when the new cabin boy comes between my father, Flint’s trove, and me.
Author Notes: Titled after the song by Within Temptation. Again, the story is the movie with another character, but with a different kind of character and a different take.

Title: Free To Be Me
Fandom: Treasure Planet
Genre: Adventure/Family
Rating: T
Pairings: Jim/OC
Brief Summary: My father had left me with only a fist-sized, silver sphere the day he had gone. I was always thankful to have that much. Little did I know, my father had left me with so much more.
Author Notes: Titled after the song by Francesca Battistelli. Sequel to "Truth Beneath the Rose" and the second story in the Treasure Hunter Trilogy. Uses a character from my friend, Solaris Prime.

Title: Ashen Angel
Fandom: Green Angel
Genre: Hurt/Comfort/Romance
Rating: K
Pairings: Ash(Green)/Diamond
Brief Summary: Diamond looks back on his time with Ash, the girl who'd taken him in when no one else would, and his feelings for her.
Author Notes: First, I'd like to say that this story is the reason there is a Green Angel category on this website in the first place. I wrote it and requested the category for it. This is written in Diamond's point of view.

Title: Domani
Fandom: Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles
Genre: Family/Tragedy
Rating:T
Pairings: None
Brief Summary: It's been thirty years since Donatello left us... thirty years of hell. My brother, Chris, and I have been getting along just fine. Now, Don's back and wants to face the Shredder one last time. I can only pray he's the miracle we've been waiting for.
Author Notes: Another SAINW story, but with another character, from my friend, Solaris Prime. Titled after the song "Domani 21 Aprile 2009".

Title: Wake Up
Fandom: Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles
Genre: Family/General
Rating: K
Pairings: None
Brief Summary: "You gotta wake up, Amy. You just gotta." Who do these voices belong to? They're so familiar, yet I can't figure them out. Wait... my brothers.
Author Notes: Another random thing I wrote, but it turned out well. This is mostly a way for me to show the relationship my OC has with the turtles.

Title: Lifetimes
Fandom: Yu-Gi-Oh
Genre: Humor/Romance
Rating: K
Pairings: Seto/Kisara
Brief Summary: There are some things in this world that are plain to see. Their love was among those.
Author Notes: This was written in a way different from what I usually do. The point of it was to make it humorous, as well as make it seem as though the cast was 'reading over my shoulder'. The concept is unusual, but I had fun with it.

Title: As the Pendulum Swings
Fandom: Bleach
Genre: Friendship/Romance
Rating: T
Pairings: RenRuki, onesided Renji/OC
Brief Summary: They met in the Soul Reaper Academy. Through the years, much had changed, but they somehow remained a constant in each other's lives.
Author Notes: This is a series of flash-fictions written using my character, Kagami Okasawa. It was meant as a way for me to practice with my OC before I wrote a full-blown story with her. When I eventually post the story with her, there will be quite a few things changed between the flash-fictions and the full story because I've evolved her character since posting this, as well as the story she will be in.

Title: If Only A Moment
Fandom: Bleach
Genre: Romance/Angst
Rating: M
Pairings: Hisagi/unnamed OC
Brief Summary: And just for this moment, as long as you're mine, I've lost all resistance and crossed some borderline.
Author Notes: The lyrics used for the summary come from "As Long As You're Mine" from the musical, Wicked. This is not a songfic, though. I was, again, testing myself by using a different style than I normally do, being pretty vague as to who is involved in this story. Overall, I've gotten good marks from it. It is rated M, because it's such borderline writing that I wasn't sure how it might be perceived. Very soft lime.

Title: Not Daddy Anymore
Fandom: Criminal Minds
Genre: Hurt/Comfort/Family
Rating: K
Pairings: None
Brief Summary: He was far too used to this. The time between was growing shorter. Some days, he wished he could be naive again... As told by 7-year-old Spencer Reid.
Author Notes: This is one of my preliminary stories for "Code: RIP". I wrote it as a practice run with a couple of the characters, primarily Reid because he will be one of the main focuses in "Code: RIP". This was written as the point of view of a seven-year-old boy, and there are brief moments with Joanna Reid (the OC) to add a bit to the story. Please, if you read this, let me know what you think of it so I may improve my writing before I get to "Code: RIP".

Title: Snapshots of Siblinghood
Fandom: One Piece
Genre: Family
Rating: T
Pairings: None
Brief Summary: One of those one-sentence prompt challenges that center around a couple of siblings.
Author Notes: Literally written spur of the moment. There is an OC, Fantine Roronoa. She's meant to be Zoro's younger sister by a year and she's an archer. I don't have any real story for her planned, nor do I think I will be writing one in the future. Like I said, this was spur of the moment and I wrote it in about a half hour.

Title: Sleepy Waters
Fandom: One Piece
Genre: Friendship/Humor
Rating: K
Pairings: None outright
Brief Summary: The new kid didn't seem too bad. The crew got along with him, the captain took a liking to him. There was just one little problem...
Author Notes: The title was given to me by DragonofTwilight, who read it over for me. lol. This was honestly written spur of the moment, but I got to have a bit of fun with it, so I supposed it worked out in the end.

Title: Of Flies and Fists
Fandom: One Piece
Genre: Friendship/Romance/Humor
Rating: T
Pairings: Ace/OC, in varying degrees.
Brief Summary: Their roles on the ship were clearly defined: black and white. Beyond those roles, things got a little less defined.
Author Notes: Another one of those prompt challenges, except this one wasn't so restricted. Some of them are sentences, and some are snapshots of what could be a oneshot. It all depended on what I got the inspiration for. I tried to make most of them funny, which worked out sometimes. Personally, I liked the funny ones better... My favorite is number 58. Kick in the Head. The title was supplied by DragonofTwilight, because she is awesome like that.

Title: A New Year
Fandom: One Piece
Genre: Friendship
Rating: K
Pairings: None outright
Brief Summary: The silence was broken in an instant when a loud pop sounded next to his ear and colorful pieces of paper flew past his head. "Happy birthday, Ace."
Author Notes: I wrote this, mostly, for the heck of it. I had a cute idea and thought it'd be fun to write. It probably wouldn't been smarter to post this on January 1st, but I was not about to wait eight months to post this.

Title: Wilted Flowers
Fandom: One Piece
Genre: Friendship/Tragedy
Rating: K
Pairings: None.
Brief Summary: I could clearly remember the day Lily became my friend, and the day she vanished from my life. I was never going to allow that to happen again.
Author Notes: Currently a oneshot written in Luffy's point of view. I have written a second chapter from Ace's POV. I personally like that chapter better, but I'm kind of biased. lol.

Title: Beautiful Disaster
Fandom: Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles
Genre: Romance/Humor
Rating: T
Pairings: OC/OC
Brief Summary: My brothers have undergone a change none of us could have been prepared for. To make matters worse, some guy comes into my life and won't leave it. How can I get Leo, Donny, Raphie and Mikey back to normal if we don't even know what happened?
Author Notes: Titled after the song by Kelly Clarkson.

Title: A Rose That Won't Bloom
Fandom: Bleach
Genre: Adventure/Friendship
Rating: T
Pairings: mentioned Hisagi/OC. onesided Renji/OC, mentionings.
Brief Summary: It has been only months after the Winter War. Aizen has been killed and it's becoming business as usual for the Soul Reapers once again. Renji is back on-duty after recovering from his injuries and his first order of business is to question the only survivor of a brutal attack. But wait. This lone survivor is someone he knew years ago, in the Soul Reaper Academy, and she says Tousen is alive. But how can that be?
Author Notes: Titled from the lyrics of the chorus to "Kristy, Are You Doing Okay" by The Offspring. This is the story that will be using Kagami Okasawa, from "As The Pendulum Swings". Again, the character and her story have evolved much since the series of flashfictions.

Title: Burning Flower
Fandom: One Piece
Genre: Friendship/Family, some humor and some tragedy
Rating: K
Pairings: None romantically
Brief Summary: Life is short, Ace thought as he was struck by the magma fist belonging to Akainu. It was like a flash of lightning, really. You're born, and then you die when it seems like you're at your brightest.
Author Notes: I did another one of those 50-prompts things. It's sort of a companion piece to "Wilted Flowers", but can stand alone. It uses Lily, the childhood friend of Ace and Luffy that I created.

Title: Poker Face
Fandom: One Piece
Genre: Friendship
Rating: T
Pairings: None
Brief Summary: After the deaths of his captain and 'brother', Marco finds himself leading the crew he has come to see as family. Disaster strikes and he not only loses his crew, but his memory. Now, Marco must fight to recover his memories, as well as protect those who become close to him in his temporary home.
Author Notes: The idea for this story actually came to me from a fanart I found on Deviantart. The link is here: http:///favourites/#/d2ox0yw . My title comes from a little plot twist I've come up with long before it even makes its appearance in the story.

Title: Tribulations of a Pirate
Fandom: One Piece
Genre: Humor
Rating: T
Pairings: none thus far, but possibly crack pairings later
Brief Summary: A series of drabbles based off of prompts from a LJ thread I found through Aoihand's FFN profile.
Author Notes: All of my contributions will be posted here, but if you would like to read more, I have put the link above. Many of these are done for humor and I promise you, you will laugh at at least one of them, whether they are my writing or not.

Title: All These Lives
Fandom: Treasure Planet
Genre: Adventure/Family
Rating: T
Pairings: Jim/OC, OC/OC
Brief Summary: My daughter, my ONLY daughter, has been taken from me. I intend to do whatever it takes to get her back, even if that means bringing Eternal Youth to the most wicked being in all existance.
Author Notes: Titled after the song by Daughtry. Two of the OCs in this story belong to Solaris Prime. This is the third, and final, story in the Treasure Hunter Trilogy.

Title: Fallen Flames
Fandom: One Piece
Genre: Family/Adventure/Romance
Rating: T
Pairings: Mentioned Marco/OC (which will be written in a companion piece/prequel), AceOC
Brief Summary: Maybe that was why they always got along so well, she figured. They had been kindred spirits, and had understood each other for years... The telling of young Hotaru in her life as a member of the Whitebeard Pirates.
Author Notes: This is the story of Hotaru, starting from when she joins the Whitebeard Pirates, all the way up until Ace's death (and even a bit beyond). So, anyone who enjoyed "Sleepy Waters", "Of Flies and Fists" and "A New Year" may enjoy this. The companion piece/prequel (which I have yet to start) will be titled "Phoenix Blood".

Title: Shinobi
Fandom: Yu Yu Hakusho
Genre: Friendship
Rating: T
Pairings: None
Brief Summary: The shinobi had never lived particularly noble lives, but a change was stirring within them. Please, Gama, allow me this one last dishonorable action before we change our existence.
Author Notes: This was one of my preliminaries for a character I'd created for another person's story. It never went anywhere and now, a year and a half later, I've decided to finally post this. Hopefully you all enjoy it.

Title: Call My Name
Fandom: Avatar The Last Airbender
Genre: Adventure/Romance
Rating: K
Pairings: Zuko/OC, primarily. As well as all the pairings from the show (though some to a lesser extent than others)
Brief Summary: Two halves of the same whole. What could that possibly mean? Whatever it is, I know I must help my prince, and dearest friend, restore his honor. But what will I do when Fate decides to interrupt the life I once knew? How can I possibly choose?
Author Notes: Titled after the song by Third Day. This is the entire series of Avatar with an OC, but I've added the differences needed to keep the story from becoming boring or redundant.

Title: Black Widow
Fandom: Bleach
Genre: Budding Friendship/Romance
Rating: T for language
Pairings: Budding Kazeshini/OC
Brief Summary: He found her annoying, but brave. She found him dangerous, but intriguing. He was the Wind Death and she was the Black Widow. Twoshot.
Author Notes: I was thinking about "A Rose That Won't Bloom" and how I never really wrote anything for Kazeshini and Kurogoke. I'd written "If Only A Moment" as a companion piece for Hisagi and Kagami, but nothing for their zanpakuto. So, I wrote this little twoshot in under an hour because I thought they needed it.

Title: Dance With the Devil
Fandom: Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles
Genre: Family/Angst
Rating: T
Pairings: OC/OC
Brief Summary: He was gone and dead. But now Amy sees him everywhere she goes. Is she losing her mind? Or is it something else?
Author Notes: Yeah... I kinda got the idea for this after seeing the musical Next To Normal with my mom and best friends. This is a dark sequel to "Beautiful Disaster", but those of you that read BD don't have to read this story to gain more of the plot. But anyone who wants to read this story will have to have read BD in order to understand who the characters are and some references I make. This story will be exploring something that I brought up towards the end of "Beautiful Disaster". Sort of tying up loose ends, if you'd like to think of it as that. Retitled because I felt as though the lyrics to "Dance With the Devil" by Breaking Benjamin really fit the feel of the story. Check out the song if you want. :D

Title: His Angel, Her Savior
Fandom: Yu-Gi-Oh
Genre: Friendship/Romance
Rating: K
Pairings: Seto/OC
Brief Summary: The story of Ebony and Seto's life, starting when they met at the age of eight. It goes over main points in their life together.
Author Notes: This story is really more like a series of oneshots, in a way. This is not updated regularly and I'm not really working on it. Each chapter would be like the end of the story, if I weren't to continue it.

Title: For Good Luck
Fandom: Legend of Korra
Genre: General
Rating: K
Pairings: Entirely one-sided Mako/OC
Brief Summary: A heart is broken as Mako receives a gift from an anonymous fan.
Author Notes: I should be writing a paper for my history class right now, but this was in my head and I needed to get it out. Damn you, Legend of Korra for filling my mind with plot bunnies. But anyway, I always have fun writing with OCs, and I always have more fun writing one-sided stuff. So, I figured I would combine my love for both in this little oneshot in which a character that only has a name because I needed to give her one has a crush on Mako, but is heartbroken when she sees what she interprets as a Makorra moment... that really isn't. But whatever. Anyway, I hope people will enjoy this.

Title: Family Matters
Fandom: Legend of Korra
Genre: Family
Rating: T
Pairings: None
Brief Summary: That was what big brothers did. They protected their scared little siblings from anything that frightened them.
Author Notes: Another one of those one-word prompt things that I love to do. This time, I'm using a younger sibling for an OC and adding a different dynamic to the series that I already love.

Title: Dark Night in the Fire Nation
Fandom: Avatar: The Last Airbender
Genre: Family/Tragedy
Rating: T
Pairings: previously established Zuko/OC
Brief Summary: The birth of an heir brings great joy to the Fire Nation, but the moment is bittersweet. A branch off of "Call My Name"
Author Notes: Honestly, the idea for this came to me, and I couldn't not write it. In a way, it's almost like a sad fanfic of my other fanfic... without sounding quite so lame as it does. XD Anyway, I hope you all enjoy it. :)

Title: Promises
Fandom: Avatar: The Last Airbender
Rating: T
Pairings: Previously established Zuko/OC
Brief Summary: A year after the war ended, and peace still hasn't happened. Another war is on the horizon, and we have to stop it. Otherwise, I fear what will happen to this world, and the people who I am destined to protect. Direct sequel to "Call My Name".
Author Notes: Well, I finally wrote a sequel to "Call My Name" that people have been wanting. Since I can't do it for LOK, I figured I'd be able to use The Promise, the graphic novels that tie the two series together. This will be a short sequel, probably only six chapters, but I thought it would be a nice way to wrap everything up.

Title: Bet My Life On You
Fandom: One Piece
Rating: T
Pairings: background Killer/OC
Brief Summary: "Nii-chan! A festival! A festival! Let's go to the festival!" If only their lives could have remained so simple. The story of Trafalgar D. Water Law and the sister who had his back since the fall of Flevance.
Author Notes: Titled after the song "Bet My Life" by Imagine Dragons. Focuses more on the familial relationship between Law and my OC Roma.

In-Progress

None

On Hiatus

None

Dead-Fics (Fanfictions I will no longer be updating)

Title: Missing Piece
Fandom: Legend of Korra
Rating: T
Pairings: None
Brief Summary: He'd already lost everyone else in his family. He'd be damned if he would let anything happen to Bolin. Series of oneshots
Author Notes: A series of oneshots involving the character Yue that I've created for the LOK fandom. These take a different tone from "Family Matters"

Title: In My Heart
Fandom: Bleach
Genre: Family/Adventure
Rating: T
Pairings: implied Renji/OC, hinted.
Brief Summary: It is ten years after the Winter War, but there's something wrong. Toshiro Hitsugaya is dead. He has been reborn into the body of a small child named Toshiro Kitamura, the younger brother of Minako Kitamura. She has raised him since she was twenty, when their parents died. Now, Toshiro and his sister have been dragged into the fight against Aizen and his Arrancar, along with Ichigo and his friends. Will they prevail? And will Minako be able to keep her brother once he learns of his past as a Soul Reaper?
Author Notes: Titled after the song "You'll Be In My Heart" by Phil Collins. I do apologize for my problems writing with child characters. I don't always keep them at the right maturity level for their ages.
