I'm nightshadowdark, don't ask about the name.

July 14, 2012: The next chapter of Parallel of Love and Madness is now up and it's quite a bit longer than I originally anticipated.

Previews:

The Mark: As Seth readies himself to fight Brandy, some unexpected people decide to show up... Title: Nightwish

Parallel of Love and Madness: After returning from the first successful mission, Ike and Zelda enjoy a bit of time together, and a certain primary antagonist makes an appearance.

Peaceful Rose: This is going to be a one-shot fic and is actually a request. It involves an Agoraphobic veteran and a pacifistic Mightyena. Currently about a third of the way done, but it's still slow going!

Just a weird fact about myself: I write my best stuff when my insomnia acts up and i can't sleep at two or three in the morning.

I do not believe in good and evil. They are merely labels that society gives based on what benefits itself the most. For example, Hitler was seen as "evil" by the rest of the world, but to the Germans OF THAT TIME PERIOD thought that he was "good".

About Me:I'm very easy going and laid back. It can be a problem in school, but I still do well. It takes A LOT to make me angry and if you somehow manage to do that then you've really screwed up :). Also I am very musically inclined, I play the saxophone, clarinet, bass guitar, and drums.

My life's ambition is to become a best selling author or a professional musician. I write music and I write...writing stuff (stories, couldn't think of the word at the time I was writing). I express my opinions in my work and am very vocal about them in real life. Most of my music revolves around metal. I enjoy playing drums for metal bands as it's probably the most fun to work with. One thing I hate is when you can't understand the vocals in a song because the singer can't sing clearly or screams to harshly.

I completely agree with gay marriage. I feel that most people are against it because they are scared of it and don't want to change. I think that homophobes are just overreacting and need to move on with their lives. However, I will not write yuri nor will I write yaoi. It is not because I am against either of them, I just don't feel that I could write a yaoi without it being awkward. I won't write yuri because I don't want to be a hypocritical sexist.

Lemons scenes in my stories will NEVER EVER, let me repeat myself, NEVER EVER, be the main focus of my stories. If I ever do open up requests for stories I WILL NOT DO SMUT. Smut is designed to appeal to lust, and rarely, if ever, has anything to do with two people who are honestly in love with each other. When I write lemons it's because I feel that the two are truly proving their love to each other and are solidifying their love through it. If you read my stories looking for that, then you might want to look elsewhere, as generally the lemons will be short.

Yea, that's pretty much me. Oh, and I don't care if you don't like me. Don't like me, don't talk to me, simple as that :).

Requests: REQUESTS ARE NOW OPEN. IF YOU WANT TO REQUEST A STORY, THEN PM ME AND REMEMBER, BE AS SPECIFIC AS POSSIBLE.

I have decided to take a few requests or rather, one or two because it takes me a while to write them and I don't want to interfere too much with "The Mark." I will open up request lines for a little, and then close them and judge the requests based on several factors. Whichever one or two (depending on the number I get) that I like the best, I will write, the others...well I can't write everything. There are several things I want you to include in your fic description.

Sunbject: You can request almost any subject but I will list ones that I am fairly familiar with. Pokemon, Nier, The Witcher, Most Cartoons, Elder Scrolls, I know that it's not a lot that I am very familiar with, but you can still request stuff not on this list, it just may not be as accurate as the stuff listed here. I will have to do research if I do select a request I'm not familiar with.

Originality: This is a big one, though you don't have to write out how your fic idea is original. I want to write stories that are interesting and that I haven't seen before, not just the same old stuff. When I say original, maybe it's an idea that has been expanded upon, maybe it's an idea that hasn't been done before, I don't know, but I just don't want to write the same shit over and over. This is probably one of the biggest factors that can make or break a story.

Characters: This is pretty self explanatory. Put any OC's in here, but make sure that you go into detail. Give me a basic idea of what the main characters look like, what their personalities are like, their relations to minor characters in the story, and any flaws they have. I cannot stress enough about the flaws, because I don't want to write about a Mary-Stu character. (A combination of Mary Sue and Gary Stu ;)

Summary: Give me a summary of your story. The more thorough you are in your description, the better I'll be able to give you what you want, although I would like it if you gave me a little freedom to make alterations, nothing major.

Anything Specific: If there is anything that you want me make sure to add in your story, then make sure to include it. This can include references, special characters, an inside joke between you and a friend, a secret message command to destroy the world, or an evil spell are just some of the things that can be included here. Also if there is a particular thing you want me to do writing-wise, then put it here. (Ex. I am planning a one-shot without ANY dialogue.)

Things I will do: I will do most catergories, not just romance. I will write any pairing if I feel that there is sufficent plot development and there is an original idea behind the pair. I will write any rating from K to M, I will do most stuff, but the things listed below, and maybe a few others that I can't think of at the time.

Things I WILL NOT DO, DON'T EVEN ASK: Drugs, going through with suicide, yaoi/yuri (see above for reasons, NOT BECAUSE I'M AGAINST IT!), smut, anything that is purposely mean to another person, snuff.

Now that all of the formal crap is out of the way, I want to stress that not everyone who applies will get a fic, as it takes me an average of about a month to a month and a half to write one-shots. The more thorough and descriptive you are in your characters and summary, along with being original, the more likely I am to pick yours to write. That's pretty much it.

Character Requests: If you want to request a character for my story, The Mark, then put it here. Here are the things I want you to include in your description.

Age-Pretty self-explanatory, Clothes-I'll do most things as long as their is nothing that can be considered offensive, Personality- Just give me an overview of their most prominent personality traits. Also, make sure to include at least one flaw. Role- This is going to be an interesting one. I want you to tell me what you want your character to do and how it interacts with my OC's. Keep in mind that I most likely won't have them be a major part of the story, just a cameo or a battle or something. Jeffrey is my story is the only exception and that's because the guy sent me a total of six pages worth of info on him, Lyra, and Kira. That's what you have to do if you want your character to play a major role!
