...Hello, and thank you for wasting your time for looking at nothing important.

Short Bio

I am known as OneWingedHeron53. But you may call me Heron if you wish. I am a twenty-something-year-old Native in Ontario. I'll be honest, I forget my age sometimes, I mean at my birthday earlier, my sister baked me a cake and she labeled it Happy 2?th Birthday!" Being a writer is one of my goals, using fanfiction as my stepping stone.

Favored Couple as of right now.

LinkxLightning. Why this couple? You may say. Why not? I say. Both are heroes, experienced hardship on their journeys. Personally, assists their respective Goddess's. They were both forced out of their childhood to take care of another. They both are calm and collected, plus have a side you don't want to mess with. So why not?

My Dream/Goal

Don't worry, this won't be too sentimental. But the goal I had when I first started writing, was just to make an amazing multi-crossover. No goals, no destination, just people living and interacting together. But I understand, peace can be boring sometimes, so I would also like to make a multi-crossover where they would band together to face this common threat. But peace is always welcome at times, so sometimes I would just love to see them make peace with each other and just live their everyday life with no threat to their homes. It is for this reason that I first created the "100 Crossover Couples" and just crossover fics in general. The potential is endless when coming with this approach and I know there are people who would prefer their "canon" or "OTP" pairings, but I thrive in thinking of the unpredictability. As in, I like thinking up scenarios that no one would think of. I think of pairings that no one would even think is possible whether it's in their own canon universe or outright crossover shenanigans. I know there is a lot to work with here, but this is something that I truly enjoy, so I don't actually find it a hassle. A wise man once said; "Find a job that you love and you'll never have to work a single day of your life." ... Well, I wouldn't really call him a wise man, but these words of wisdom actually strike a fancy in me, so here it is.

Philosophy of This Year

Have you ever made a decent crack pairing between two characters who would otherwise probably not think of each other in that way? If you have, I guarantee that there was at least one that was all; "Ew, no. The two are not good together at all." Or perhaps even; "Yuck. Link and Hena? (The fishing girl in Twilight Princess) No thank you. Link x Zelda ftw." So you know what I say about those people? Idiots. Now not in the mean way, if possible, but I do mean it as people who probably don't understand it. Crazier things have happened in the world. Look up odd celebrity relationships and you'll be surprised that Michael Jackson and Madonna had had in fact, made out every now and then. I only accept pairings that shouldn't work when it's because there's no possible way that the two can meet. But thanks to our imaginations, we can make that happen and if we do it correctly; we can make the meeting feasible. Even then, people will still be tilting their heads at this in confusion, but don't mind them, they just don't understand and it's our job, through our works to help them at least "Okay" it. Just like that football jock in your highschool can fall in love with the lonely and creepy gothic girl or the lead cheerleader finding interest in the class nerd, (And hopefully not abusing their relationship so she can get better grades by having him do her work.) that Hero from one game can find love in a Heroine from another game with the help of our imagination. Or you know, two opposite characters finding interest in each other. I don't let personalities or other people's OTP's (Or actual cannon relationships for that matter.) get in the way and even though they may not like each other, then perhaps given enough time, they'll find some solid ground. Look at Mulan and Shang in Mulan II, when talking to their guests, they had differing ideas and philosophies, but in the end, they still love each other. So all in all, don't throw out that random pairing through the window, given enough time, you may find out that it's alright. You may never know that this unique pairing is what you have been seeking for the longest time.

Philosophy of Last Year

I have begun to tell myself to write. Not just for people's entertainment, but my own. While I'll still take suggestions, I'm going to write on my own accord. I have begun to tell myself to forget about reviews. If someone likes it, then they like it. I view that as a huge weakness to various writers. Fanfiction and whatnot. They work hard and when they finish, they want reviews and huge praise they think they deserve. If they receive none, however, they begin to lose heart and interest in their story. That then leads to them dismissing their talent as a writer. The way I view it now. Write big. Write big all the time. Who cares if you get no reviews or praise? If they like your story, then that's good. That's real good. Don't write big, expecting huge things to come from it. Write big and expect to write even more. Surpass your own expectations. You're the one running the show, not your readers. Don't let your ego get the best of you, keep it at a reasonable size. You should be proud to be a writer, not a prodigy. I'm not saying just turn away all advice. Accept advice from whatever readers manage to read your story, mold it into your writing style and continue to break your limit. The human mind is a powerful weapon, we can think, we can adapt, we can bring to reality our dreams through our writing. Don't stop writing. Don't stop improving. Don't stop. Just don't stop.

Current Running Gags

These often appear in my stories as common jokes. These may not change over time, but who knows? They also involve Link for some reason.

1: Link without the Master Sword. Often a quick quip saying "They (The Goddess') didn't give him the Master Sword."
2: Cute things hating Link and having the urge to kill him.
3: Link being tormented by the girls of the Smash Mansion.
4: Link being tormented by women everywhere else.
5: Link and Rosalina (or any other girl) arguing like an old married couple.
6: Cheese exploding (Michael Bay style) whenever Lucina puts it on a heat source.
7: Wolf trying to write a lemon of LinkxRosalina before getting interrupted by a brick out of nowhere.
8: Rosalina throwing bricks. (With perfect accuracy.)
9: Link's ears (As well as other pointed ear characters) twitching when something catches their attention that's not in their point-of-view.
10: Peach often trying to pair up two individuals. Usually, ones who would seem to be the opposite of each other. She appoints herself as the Chessmaster on this matter.
11: Dr. Mario being insistent that he's a doctor and not a magician.
12: Pretty much anything Cassandra, Link, and Siegfried do.
13: Lucina often being dragged into stuff she has no knowledge of. Often with a quick quip saying "Why am I here?"
14: "The father (Link) of Lightning's child, however, remains a mystery and has been lost to history." This will pop up in stories related to Link's Journey Notes within the Final Fantasy XIII universe.
15: Lucina being oblivious to any current situation and standing with a blank expression before someone (Usually Link) drags her off-screen.
16: Things literally poofing. (When I say this, just say poof and imagine a small cloud.)
17: The term Read: Dope Slap appearing every now and then.
18: Link's fishing getting interrupted.
19: Women who may or may not have an attraction to Link insulting by calling him blue eyes.

Stories written/updated in 2017/2018: 12
My goal for the next two years is at least 20

100 Crossover Couples (Various Games/Anime)

These are various short stories focusing on (you guessed it) crack pairings. So if you want to see rather interesting pairings, then come read this fiction. I guarantee you'll find one couple you will like...or think is alright. If you don't, then request a couple you would like me to tackle and I'll see what I can do. This can range to the common crack pairings (IkexZelda) to the most unusual and rare crack pairings (LinkxLightning) Although you won't find yaoi or yuri here. Lastly, each story is its own canon unless noted. As such, the Link in A Hero's Storm does not know Sophitia or Lyn.

Sword's of Worlds Collide: Link has appeared in the land of Elibe, He meets Lyn in rather the hard way, and seems to have taken some sort of interest to her. Lyn is also of the same thoughts. LinkxLyn.(Link = Legend of Zelda - Lyn = Fire Emblem 7)

(Albel = Star Ocean 3 - Seung-Mina = Soul Calibur)

A Lord's Lady:Lady Lyndis collapses on the snowy hills of Airyglyph, nearly falling to death. Sensing a high level in skills, Lord Albel Nox saves her just to try out her skills in combat. But who knows that underneath the hard body, lies a soft, lonely soul, seeking companionship, maybe Lyn can be it? AlbelxLyn.
(Albel = Star Ocean 3 - Lyn = Fire Emblem 7)

Now traveling together; with Cassandra as well, Cloud finds out that there are more ways to forgive himself. CloudxSophitia. (Cloud = Final Fantasy 7 - Sophitia = Soul Calibur)

A Hero's Storm: Lightning enters a near death situation by sleeping in a cold cave in a harsh snowstorm after getting injured in battle and walking in it for a long time.

The Radiant Princess and the Hero of Blue Flames: Nel comes to the Ancient Ruins of Surferio after receiving info that the Executioners were attacking again for some unknown reason. However, things get interesting when they began to summon other people from other worlds. Among these is a young man named Ike; who requires her help to get back to his world. IkexNel (Ike = Fire Emblem 9&10 - Nel = Star Ocean 3)

The Angel of Darkness and the Last Priestess of Winds: Talim met up with a strange being from another world who is like her, but with one major exception. This young man named Kalas; has wings. She initially thought she met up with an angel when things take a different turn when he began speaking to himself...or his Guardian Spirit who insists that they travel together. Talim however, senses a deep darkness within him. KalasxTalim (Kalas = Baten Kaitos: Eternal Wings and the Lost Ocean - Talim = Soul Calibur)

The Final Discovery: After being killed by Vermiforms; Faina is transported to an area called the Lifestream, where a man named Cloud, revived her.

Finding herself in a strange world, Zelda must survive in another world where its inhabitants are struggling to survive a mysterious illness. (Zelda = Legend of Zelda - Cloud = Final Fantasy VII) (I will update this summary later.)

Starting Chapter 23: Monsters from the Monster Hunter Series will start making appearances. They will be a cameo at best or even as a simple "boss battle" The story won't revolve around them and the characters won't be making armor or weapons out of them. (maybe) Elder Dragons will appear every now and then, but they will be reduced to cameos like the other monsters.

Nargacuga: A Pseudo-Wyvern with sleek black fur, bladed wings, and a retractable tail. When agitated or angered, it eyes burns a bright red. Appeared in From Shadows to Light. Slain by Aqua.
Sand Barioth: A Flying-Wyvern with an orange body, spiked wings, and two tusks. It is the subspecies of the Barioth who makes its home in Artic Areas. The Sand Barioth instead makes its home in deserts. When agitated or angered, its eyes turn green and creates sand devils to assist its aerial maneuvers. Appeared in From Shadows to Light. Slain by Link.

Willing to do requests. Just no yaoi or yuri or characters within the same universe. Characters from different series: Like Yuna and Sephiroth or Ike and Lyn counts as a crossover.

If you want to request a story of me. (Not just for 100 Crossover Couples.) Here are the rules I will follow.

1: I won't do yaoi or yuri. You can try reasoning, you can try to suggest that I genderswap one of them, you can try to persuade me, but just know that I'll say no.
2: I won't do lemons. I try to keep my work readable for all audiences. So I won't do lemons and cutaways (Journey Notes) are the closest you'll get from me.
3: I won't write about frivolous things. I like to have my work with meaning and not just one simple act. You can try to suggest me to add it in a story, but you won't see me writing about frivolous things.

Link's Journey Notes

Before you go ahead and read these, just know that it's entirely crack and may not be for the light-hearted as it contains domestic abuse, rape as comedy, and a severe drop in insanity. The only thing keeping it from being an M rating is the fact that I don't write out the scene, but leave it to your imagination. "What the hell did I just read?" You may say. I will answer, "A fraction of my insanity!" Before you even ask, no I don't do drugs, nor do I drink. So I can't be high or drunk when I write these. (Drugs are bad!)

First Steps
Link journeys to the world of Soul Calibur to defeat the sword that's been plaguing his land. Along the way, he meets up with various souls who have the same goal. Arriving in Athen's, Link; along with Cassandra, Sophitia, Xianghua, Kilik, and Siegfried rests at the Alexandra House, where things take..."An interesting turn" when they misinterpret his journal and Sophitia proceeds to help him from exploding randomly... by completing the so-called Hylian Mating Ritual with him.
Link: The Hylian what now?

How to get struck by Lightning
After the fall of Orphan, Lightning goes back to a normal life with Serah and Snow when Serah suddenly reveals she's pregnant with Snow's child. Snow mocks her by saying she won't have a child and she took it as a challenge and wants to prove him wrong...by having a child with a man from another world. By fate's cruel twist, she chooses Link to father her child, whether he wants to or not.
Link: Fate hates me for some reason.

How to overcome loneliness
Journeying to a dark location in hopes of forgetting of previous events. Link stumbles across Aqua in the Void of Darkness. Being the good guy he is, he decides to help her escape from the location. Stumbling across a beach within the cavern, the two rest there with Link deciding to fish there. Being overjoyed at having another companion within her immediate area after what seemed like an eternity to her, she...expresses her gratitude; although she may have taken it a...bit too far.
Link: I'm starting to think fishing has something to do with it.

The Second Coming (Sequel to How to get struck by Lightning)
Link journeys back to the World of Nova Crystalis; aka, former Cocoon. He goes back there with the knowledge that 500 years have passed there and therefore wants to see if the child he (forcibly) had with a woman there amounted to anything by looking through the records. He did not by no means, wanted to get involved in saving the souls lost within Chaos knowing that this world is destined to disappear in a few days time. The one employing him to it? The one who had his child who is still alive despite by 500 years. (He did not foresee that people stopped aging once he left Cocoon.)
Link: I hope the title isn't alluding to anything else.
May continue in its own continuity.

A Touch of Innocence (Branches off How to get struck by Lightning and is no way related to The Second Coming)
In the world of Nova Crystalis, people began to lose hope and faith. Even if an individual older than time itself (That's a stretch) showed up with the ability to speak to the souls of the dead, their morality continues to fall. An enigmatic man shrouded in mystery sees a plan to bring people's hopes up and perhaps entice the gods to return to them. The Goddess Etro is gone, therefore no new life can be born. But who's to say that it has to be Etro to bless people with life? This man crosses dimensions and requests (or kidnaps) a man fishing who is very close to his Goddesses and has him impregnate their priestess and hopefully improve morality. Vanille, who is the one possessing the ability accepts this plan. (Without hesitation.) Link isn't very enthusiastic about having another child in that world.
Link: Yeah, fishing definitely has something to do with it.

To Defrost an Ice Queen
The year before the main series has started, the Schnee Family had a supper which they have at the same time once a year due to them all being busy with various activities. While fearing a heart attack would be the end of him, Jacques Schnee; the big boss of the Schnee Dust Company decides it is time to look at the future and now wants a child born of divine heritage. Looking at his daughter; Weiss Schnee, he decides she would be the legitimate choice to give the child. A year later, Weiss remembers this event and decides to try to find a way to get out of it. Getting stressed over it, she decides to try her hand at summoning and accidentally summons a Warrior; a Hero from another world. After a short argument with the youth, she then sees this youth as the key to her problems. But little does she know is that she will get more than she bargained for.
Link: It's funny that a few words and a book to the head can escalate quickly.
Weiss: You're never going to let that go, are you?
Link: Nope.

It has come to my attention that Link has fathered three different children with various women. (Two from Lightning, one from Vanille.) And two possibly. (One from Sophitia and the other from Weiss.) While him fathering children wasn't the main plan; hence why Sophitia is a huge possibility, I think the safest way to go with this now is just to have them exist in different timelines/continuities. As such, should Weiss actually conceive a child from him, then that continuity will be treated as if the other women didn't conceive his children. However, there will be exceptions to this statement such as the child between him and Vanille as Lightning's firstborn has already existed when Vanille conceived her child. So unless noted, whenever a New Journey Note pops up its ugly title, it will be treated as if the other children didn't exist, although he will still remember the women from past Journey Notes. The only time this statement will be subverted is when it's noted.

I'm doing this so that I don't taint Link's name with various fans. But remember, if you want to yell at me, go right ahead. I'll be in the corner hiding in a box.

Mating Season

Not related to Link's Journey Notes, but served as an inspiration to start the damn thing.
After the fall of the Mad King, Leanne enjoys her new home when she all of a sudden gets the urge to mate. By a Heron's Mating Ritual, she can only mate with a spouse with long hair. Things get interesting when she chooses an outright Laguz-Racist to be her mate for the Season. By a nice play of words, along with leaving the most important details, Shinon agrees to do whatever she wants...he never suspected she wants to mate with him. Maybe rewritten later on!
Shinon: This does not by any means, that I accept Sub-humans as my equal.

Useful Notes

Link in my stories: I usually use the Twilight Princess Era Link in my stories; appearance wise at least. His personality usually differs from different stories to the point where if he has the same personality as another story of mine, you can expect him to be the same one. He may also be more adept than the usual only sword and shield. Don't be surprised if I all of a sudden make him use a staff or a war hammer occasionally. He'll also be more adept at magic, able to utilize the three magics in Ocarina of Time. Din's Fire, Farore's Wind (He'll use this one the most.) and Nayru's Love. In addition, he can learn more magic just by simply observing. I also more or less make him a blood knight. Not your typical only existing for battle blood knight, but rather resistant to anything that hinders his fighting ability. Any attempts to subdue him through any magic means will be futile. I'm not saying he's outright immune to anything that hinders his fighting prowess, he can get affected, just not as easily. I do make him talk because I see that Link does in fact talk. When given choices in the games, I see it as him talking there. We just can't hear him because I think the developers wanted us to speak for him. Therefore, he is the link between us and the fictional world. That is how I see it. (Updated) There are times when I may have a Link that has knowledge and memories of his past incarnations at the same time. Usually, this is Hyrule Warrior's Link whose transportation between dimensions causes him to inherit more than memories. At times, he can and will forget which memories are his.

To the hardcore Zelda fans: I sometimes see that some Hardcore Link fanboys/girls never want to see him lose. I will accept that he is a very skilled swordsman, but he is not invincible. If I come across a story that depicts him pulling off God-Mode; I will be a good sport and just leave instead of flaming it. Every incarnation of Link has to relearn how to use a sword and various ages; he has the excuse of having an associate that have taught him once he has shown interest. (WW had Orca, TP had Rusl, SS has him as a knight, etc,) I will have him pulling off nice skills in the few fights I have with him; (In case you haven't noticed, I usually like to avoid writing action scenes of swordplay...at least until I reach a level of vocabulary where I can use different words instead of the same one over and over again.) but he is as vulnerable to blows. So you can expect me not to Mary-Sue him because I know some people claim that Mary-Sue Link never gets old, I beg to differ. I don't like invincible heroes. Like in A Hero's Storm (100 Crossover Couples) I could have Lightning beat him, but I chose to have her lower her guard because of his ability to teleport and seemingly absorb some of her magic. As much as a swordsman I can respect, I'll never have him at the end of a curb stomp battle either. People say that people like warriors that know magic and summons could easily overwhelm Link in combat, but I like to keep it on even grounds like above example. Where he was able to defeat Lightning in a duel because he can absorb and learn her magic. (As well as use his respective magical abilities like Din's Fire, Farore's Wind, and Nayru's Love.) Magic seems to be the advantage various characters have over him, so I got rid of that advantage by making him resistant to magic.

ZeLink: Now I notice that some people have qualms of pairing Link with any other girl that is not Zelda a lot. However, while there are other girls that fall for Link in his respective games, people seem to always resort to having him choose Zelda. Because of this, ZeLink has more stories than many would think. While I have no qualms about it, I refuse to be like others and dedicate my writing on an OTP. (One True Pairing.) At least within a canonical universe. As of right now, I seem to favor LinkxLightning a lot more than I would to any other pairing. (Which is funny since I would never have thought of it until a very good reader requested I write this...from there I included her in Link's Journey Notes...although I should consider writing a more serious piece of the two.) To get my attention, you'll have better luck with a Linkx any other girl beside Zelda and as I put it, the crackier the better, so I like reading crossovers which may include him as a love interest to someone completely different. While I haven't watched the series, Lucy from Fairy Tail seems to become a thing... (Although this may be because of one guy.) I'll read a ZeLink fic if I manage to get interested in it. I'll probably write a piece if I feel up to it, but don't expect it too much.

Waifu's: Meaning wife...I think. Since Lucina has appeared in Super Smash Bros. Lucina x anyone seems to fly away as many people who played Awakening knows that Lucina can be your wife...or rather Robin's Wife. (Or if you want to go the parental approach, Robin can be Lucina's mother as well.) As such, they seem to deny the fact that Lucina will approach anyone else romantically. (She probably won't, but still.) So pairings like LucinaxPit or LucinaxLink doesn't seem to surface much. (Unlike ZelIke which quickly escalated.) While I have no qualms against that, it does annoy me a bit that people always clamor "That's my Waifu!" at any possible fanart/fiction that involves her hooking with anyone that's not Robin. (I personally married Say'Ri in my first playthrough, Aversa on the second playthrough for Shadowgift, and either Cynthia or Lucina onwards...actually that's a lie, I actually played as female Robin first and didn't know that marriage would happen and I married Chrom. Even almost missed Cynthia because once I discovered the marriages, I started marrying people left and right before realizing that Sumia has the least potential spouses and Henry was all that was left. I was about to marry him off to Tharja.) Of course, the entire argument above could go the other way as well with Robin being the mother.

Crossovers: I love crossovers, really I do. So much that it prompted me a couple years back to write "100 Crossover Couples." You'll really gain my attention if you go that approach. Within that fiction stands really outlandish pairings such as LinkxLightning and AlbelxSeungMina to the more "common" ones. IkexZelda and CloudxYuna. Every now and then I would practice my writing by freewriting a massive crossover, however, I don't publish those as I delete once I am done (Or rather don't save.) I have in fact; due to a request, uploaded one of my freewriting where I only limited it to two worlds and it was in fact already a crossover. I usually free write when I'm extremely tired (And can't sleep) and as a result, I write random things and take it from there. That one story I uploaded? Link's Journey Notes: First Steps. (Although I sort of based it off of Mating Season...which is a mystery on how I wrote such a thing.)

Link's Journey Notes: A LinkxHarem piece where instead of having them all in one place, they each get their time as Link is (Usually forced) in another random world. As a Harem fic, Link can get any women he wants...although it is more like they get him; despite his protests. While I treat it as comedy, just know that it is a far cry as what would happen in reality. Link also gets no qualms about it and is still on friendly terms with them. This allows the girls to get him more than once, as is the case of Lightning who got two Journey Notes and as a preview, Aqua as well. While he is skeptical on how he is treated, I treat it more of an annoyance than anything else. As the above note stated, this started with Sophitia when I free wrote it. So no, I wasn't high or drunk when I started these series, just extremely tired. Also, know that Link is essentially a chew toy and butt monkey in this series. Why doesn't Zelda have a Journey Note? Good question, I'll get to you on that as soon as I can.

...While it can be explained with my reluctance to write a Zelink piece, I could explain it as Hylians emit a pheromone that can reduce the opposite sexes cognitive ability and drive them in a primal state of sorts. The reason why they don't notice this is that the pheromone cancels out each other. Now I'm going to stop here before I get bad(er) ideas.

OC's and self-inserts: While I make it a rule to not use OC's as much as possible, I may slip one or two in every now and then. Now I understand that many OC's, especially the ones that are created by beginners will have ridiculous abilities or past. While I do try to make an interesting past, I will not make him/her something like being granted powers from the gods to do their bidding in an otherwise normal scenario like writing an OC for a School Rumble fic. Unlike many other OC's who are otherwise the suppose lost twin from the main character or someone from a characters past or even just created for the sole purpose of being a love interest, I will not do these things. When I create OC's, they are from scratch with as much as little ties to other characters. As such, it won't be the typical, "I saved you, can I get a kiss now?" I really despise those kinds of OC's. And you can be as sure as hell that I will never do a self-insert. I know that some characters are very attractive to the point that you think they belong to you and you only, I respect characters as a whole and will never write a self-insert of having an affair or relationship with that character. The closest Self-Insert I'll do is to point out various things I have done. Like the characters themselves teasing myself or perhaps even try to kill me. Within a certain series, I have yet to update (Getting to it soon) the characters of Smash have access to my account and they themselves will upload their own stories. (Figuratively speaking.)

My relation with fictional characters: With the above note, the only distance I'll place between myself and fictional characters is just simple gestures like one would have with a friend coming over for some tea. The certain series noted above is in fact called "SSB Crew tries and fails to teach writing." I started that bit two years ago, right before SSB4 was announced. In there, the various Smash Characters (Mainly Captain Falcon, Wolf, and Marth with a couple of guests.) have access to my account and they try to teach others how to write. Figuratively speaking. Of course, I write myself as not home at the moment so they use my account to upload their own stories. Of course, the safety between fictional and reality is something to speak of. The characters themselves are in constant danger in the real world by the most savage of monsters and villains they have ever encountered. Fangirls. So every time I write myself as coming home, my house is wrecked by their constant stampeding. That's how far I'll go as a self-insert. Not some God who can erase any individual with just a lift of an eyebrow. Oh, and they'll be trying to kill me in certain situations.

Love and Hate: I really hate hating...so to speak. I'm just a really nice guy, so in any scenario, you can expect me to be in the middle. I like to point out pros and cons, but I like pointing out the pros first. If I read and review your fic, even if it's a first time writing, you can expect me to be nice and even point out tips and suggested actions. But otherwise, it is up to you to confide in them, you're writing the story, not me. With all the above statement, something you really hate will only be something that I think is nothing. Like the Twilight series, I know many hate the series, but I see it as pretty much nothing. Like I said, I hate hating. I view hatred as a wasted emotion.

My problem with a whale eating my laptop: In various fics of mine; particularly ones that haven't been updated for the better part of the year or more. I will make a statement saying that problems came up involving a whale eating my laptop. That's a figure of speech, in case you didn't get it, it basically means that something came up; ie: a virus attack, a flu attack, file corruption, accidental sabotage from my nephews, etc, so when I say that I don't mean that a whale actually ate my laptop. I don't even live in an area close to the ocean, much less where whales would dwell.

Criticism: Something that I've seen every now and then. Especially on stories that were written; for lack of a better term, by newbies. They can't handle criticism and even have their summary saying something along the line of "NOT LOOKING FOR CRITICISM!!!" Of course, not to be mean, that just means you make a lot of problems that make people cringe and if you can't handle criticism, then maybe writing isn't your thing. Criticism is a huge part of writing. Even if you're just writing just because then you should at least handle some criticism.

Tips for deciding a Crossover Ship
Ever wondered how I even come up with the idea of certain ships like LinkxLyn and AlbelxSeungMina? Well, here's how I can manage to think of something.

First; look around various art or fiction communities have has certain crossover ships. (Youtube also helps from time and again.) See if you can spot a random couple you may base yours off of. I came up with LinkXLyn ever since I found two old pictures. One was of LinkxSheeda and the other was RoyxZelda. I spotted the latter first and it was a terribly long time ago, so I don't even know if it's still around. I came across the former on Da some time after that.

Second; Think of reasons on why they would be a good read. If you want, you can just base your reason on their appearance along. I came up with LinkxLyn just based on Lyn having green hair and slightly green clothing. (It is more blue than green though.) As well as having brown boots. However, if you want to make it work better, think of their personalities. It would help if they somehow contrast with each others. Having one mirror someone the other knows may help a lot better. I thought Albel would work with Seung Mina mainly because I have Seung Mina see Albel almost like Yun-Seung.

Third; That's pretty much it. But if you want to go further. Keep reading. Their histories can also contribute to your reasoning. Like LinkxLightning as servants and personal warriors of the Goddess. Like personalities, if they can related, it'll be easier to have them interact with each other. Additionally, you can just foregone all of this and base it on a simple request, as I did for LinkxLightning.

Fourth; This one is not entirely needed, but it can help to come up with more outlandish pairings. Take away one of the partners and replace it with someone who closely resembles that person. Like for fun, I can probably turn LinkXRosalina to LinkxElsa from Frozen. As I said, you can pretty much have fun with any pairings as long as it is tolerable.

Fifth; Again, not needed. Have a random pairing you came up with in your sleep? Want to spread it but don't have the skills to write or draw a decent work of art for it? Don't worry, as long as you have money or people owe you favors, you can just ask them to write up a piece or draw a piece for you as a favor. Like LinkxLucy from Fairy tail. While I respect everyone who can come up with a random pairing like that, special mention goes to that one guy who managed to get people to draw LinkxLucy for him. While I do not know his reasoning, I bet it will be an enjoyable pairing at the best. (Although personally, I would pair him with Erza instead. But that is just me.)
