IN ADDITION TO MY OWN STORIES, I HAVE OBLIGATIONS TO OTHERS AS WELL. PLEASE DO NOT SEND PMs ASKING TO COLLAB ON A STORY, BECAUSE I WILL NOT. Howdy there, partners! iheartgod175's the handle (one of these days, I'm gonna change it to iheartgod365...), and welcome to my humble home page! I'm a university student aiming for a Bachelor's in Business Administration, and an unrepentant nerd of old media, anime, and video games--but in general I'm a pretty nice person when you get to chat with me; just more on the quiet side than most. If the name didn't already tip you off to it, I'm a Christian who does her best to show her love for God in everything she does, including her writing. I'm not perfect, and I know it, but when I mess up, I take it to God. In my fics, I do talk about several Christian themes like redemption, forgiveness, loving others as much as you love yourself, and the fact that God is with you when you feel like you're alone/broken beyond repair. I admit, I have gotten away from writing things like this since my first forays into fanfiction (heads up: Super Readers' Biggest Adventure and my Veggie Tales fics, my first forays into fanfiction, are not subtle about said Christian themes. You have been warned.), but I continue my habit of thanking God for the story itself in the author's notes out of gratitude to Him, and I do plan to do more stuff like this in the future. I'm not going to back down from doing it either, even if I lose followers or get anonymous hate. A year ago I stopped doing it for a while for that reason, but then I remembered that I'm not supposed to be like everyone else. And I've been doing things my way for a long time, so I don't see myself changing this pattern any time soon. :) ...And I just realized that I've been writing fanfiction for eight years. WOW. I've got far too many interests, but my current ones include the aforementioned old cartoons/movies/TV shows (namely from the '30's-'80s, with a few '90s mixed in), various video games & anime, photography, graphic design and really geeky stuff like old logos and all. On my blog, I was half-kidding when I said I was Hanna-Barbera trash; I've fallen hard into it since 2015 and it doesn't seem to be letting up anytime soon. And I'm also currently stuck in idol purgatory; if I'm not reblogging about Hanna-Barbera, I'm reblogging stuff from Love Live! School Idol Project, its sister series Love Live! Sunshine!!, and its rival series THE IDOLM@STER (which I personally like better *runs*), BanG Dream! and others. As of August 6th, 2013, I'm going to be dedicating my fics to the memory of my grandmother. She was a vibrant figure in our family life, and I loved going over to see her. She had a never give up attitude and always told me stories, as well as encouraging me to write my own. She will be loved and missed. She's gone but not forgotten. The Writer's Prayer Father, thank You for giving me the inspiration, the creativity and the wisdom to create these stories. Without You, I would have given up on this site, just given up writing in general, or I would have used my writing talent for the wrong reasons. I take this time, Father, to praise You for everything that you have done for me the past three years on this site, and to thank You for giving me this talent that I will use for Your kingdom. I thank You as well for loving me just as I am, and for being patient with me, even when I go off and do things my own way. I give You the thanks for these things, in Jesus' name, Amen. If you are a fanfiction writer, believe in God, and know when to give credit where credit is due, copy and paste this in your profile! UPDATE: 7/28/2020 Hey there, everyone! I wanted to let you know that yes, I am alive! Again, it's been about a month since I last updated, so I wanted to get some updates out on my main accounts to explain that no, I'm not dead (well, if you've been on Tumblr, you'd know that to be a fact). So, July went better than August in some ways. I finally got enrolled in my new school, and I've been keeping up with everything better than I thought I would. I'm keeping a progress journal to keep track of how much I've done throughout the week, what I've done good at, and what I can improve on. As I'm writing this, this is the last week of my first class, so much of my energy's going to be devoted to working on my final project. After that, I should be able to return to writing stuff again. My battle with anxiety/OCD continues. It got a bit better, and then things took a nosedive. Some days, it's hard enough to just look someone in their face. But I haven't given up yet. And since talking about it with my family, I've been working on dealing with my anxiety. It has been a battle, with some days where I feel like I lose more than I win, but I feel that I'm finally, finally seeing the light at the end of the tunnel. During this trying time, I've been growing closer to God, seeking Him rather than worldly treasures such as electronics and games to gain my peace. Journaling about my experiences has been pretty therapeutic, as well as talking to my family. And to be honest, things are getting better. Still trying to handle money responsibly and help my grandfather during his cancer treatments, but so far...I've been doing my best to remain positive, even though it feels like things are crashing all around me. And some days have been difficult with my mind straying from the things of God, which makes it near impossible to pray. My grandfather told me that the times where I don't feel like praying are the times that I need to pray the most, so I'm taking his advice and starting out with small prayers every day. It keeps me praying and reminds me to stay in the scriptures. I've been working on changing my attitude towards writing. I realize that before I pursue a serious career path in writing, I need to free myself of the mindset that has caused me to not only ghost friends, but also start and then abandon numerous projects. To that end, I recently purchased the book "The Successful Author Mindset" by Joanna Penn, and holy moly, guys. This thing basically outlined every problem that I'm facing (including imposter syndrome, fears of failure, rejection and judgement and dealing with terrible self-doubt). I feel like I can take on writing again. I feel like I can take on RPing again. And I'm thanking God that I got this book at the right time. Another thing that this book has taught me was to have fun and play-back in 2013, I had some...pretty wild ideas that I wanted to publish (namely the Iron Chef stories and Future of Wuzzleburg story). I've pushed those stories to the side in favor of more linear storytelling, but this has resulted in judging ideas based on how "silly" they are. So, I'm working on exploring that wild side of my writing again, the side that comes up with concepts that would not work in one fandom but doesn't care. Perhaps I might put some of those stories on my side blog (which hasn't gotten enough attention in a while). I also got back into Star Fox recently. Do I have a story in the works? Not really...but it DOES mean I'll be spamming people's dashboards on Tumblr with Star Fox stuff. Funny how every few years, I end up getting back into this thing. And over the years I've actually discovered that I don't hate Slippy anymore. He still has no business flying an Arwing, but I don't have the urge to smack him upside the head now. Peppy is still my favorite, though :) If you've looked on my profile recently, you'll notice that there are several stories that are marked with 'ON HIATUS' or 'DISCONTINUED' in their descriptions. The reason for that is because I'm "cleaning house" this year on ALL my writing profiles, putting a few projects on hold, getting rid of stories that I'm not working on and taking down ones that I know are just not working in their current state. I'm aiming to focus on three stories this year, with the goal to finish at least one: You've Got My Attention, Blazin' Trails, and The Zula Patrol Dreamscape Crusade (more on each story below in a moment). The only other stories I haven't marked on hiatus is SRBA Gaiden: Darkness Rewrite and I'll Never Abandon You, as the former has two chapters left (and I've had a few ideas for them), and the latter has one chapter left (which has been sitting in my document manager for over a year). I've been working on You've Got My Attention back and forth, as well as my Wattpad story "Time After Time". I don't have a set outline for this story yet, but I have plans to include Callie in the story more, especially since chapters 7 and 8 focus heavily on her. I love Peck to death, but Peck's had his time to shine, and now we're going to learn what's been going on with Callie and why she was so hesitant about returning Peck's feelings-as well as why she was so angry. I found some recent writing advice on Tumblr that might give me the much needed boost to write this story again. Blazin' Trails' return is still on the horizon, folks. I'm just trying to decide what will be the final chapter for the old version of BT. This means that yes, in the future the story as it currently is will be taken down so I can properly rearrange everything (as unlike Wattpad, doesn't have a way you can drag chapters up and down in a story). It's a shame, but if it makes it easier for me to keep things consistent, then so be it! I finally finished chapter two of "The Zula Patrol: Dreamscape Crusade Remastered", as well as drafting ideas on chapter 3. It's shorter than chapter 1, but I didn't want to bog it down with filler. Still taking a break from ZP for a bit, but thankfully it didn't take a year or two for an update ;. Again, thank you all for the positive response for this rewrite; I worked hard to ensure that this story flows better than the original. Oh, and if you can, please vote for the next "Remastered" story in the edited poll! I'd really love to know your thoughts. I'll be getting to work on the Melting Pot soon, though I haven't been on the BT wiki in a while either, haha ; I've been working on my Super Why story, "Darkness Rewrite", piece by piece. This is one of the biggest chapters in the fic thus far, and I hope I can give it a satisfying conclusion. I'm planning on doing a short, but brief epilogue that'll set things up for "Chaos' Revenge" (which I have yet to write, haha). I also changed up the summary since the story turned out way different from the original description. Also, SRBA's eighth anniversary is coming up in December, so I want to finish that and MAYBE do some stuff for "Chaos' Revenge" to celebrate it. I feel a little bad for discontinuing "Sodor Magic Crusaders" because a few people have recently favorited and followed the story. If I ever get an idea for a rewrite, I'll do it in the vein of the Nanoha movies. However, I'm not into either fanbase at the moment, and I'm pretty dissatisfied with the current story, to the point where I occasionally cringe looking at what I posted. I still love the idea, but I'll come back to it if and when I get into both series again. I'm still playing Starira (Revue Starlight ReLIVE), and achieved Rank 110, as well as a Star Score of A on Vs. Revue. The good thing is that I've gotten lots of new Stage Girls (including three I was looking for forever) and have trained a few of them to Max Rank. The bad thing is, I've spent a crazy amount of money on this game, I have more Stage Girls than I know what to do with, and still King Arthur Karen (or as I like to call her, Saber Karen) continues to avoid me. I'm working on building up the tanks I have, as well as certain Stage Girls that belong to certain Elements in the game (I have a lot of powerful Space and Cloud Stage Girls, and recently, I've added a few Snow Elements to that list, but I barely have any Moon, Wind or Flower Stage Girls trained to this level. My only powerful Dream Elements are Sun Nation Nana, Ryugu Rui and Mafia Kaoruko). I'm taking advantage of the game's current campaign to get as many tickets and items as I can before it ends and build up a lot of my members. I'm close to rank 120 on School Idol Festival. I've been working on clearing the Master songs and so far, they're challenging, but fun. I'm also working on clearing each mode so I can earn more things in the game, and building up my initial Rares and SRs. I haven't scouted much since Yoshiko's birthday event, but it's mostly because I'm trying to save up for Chika and Honoka's birthdays (which are literally a day apart from each other). This game is giving me a new appreciation for Kotori. With all the Love Live content that we've got, I really want to redownload Love Live All Stars, but I'll have to wait to get a better phone. The phone I currently have doesn't have the capacity to run three games at once, and I have Microsoft Office Suite (as well as several other apps) downloaded on my phone for school, so I can't risk that. I love the NijiGaku girls and really enjoy the story, but I'll have to go back to it when I get a better phone. This means skipping out on many events, but it's alright. I've already gotten to Rank 15, and I know I'll do even better when I redownload the game next time. At least I finally figured out who my best girl is from Nijigaku. OK, enough fangirling over gacha games and stuff. Now onto the Hanna-Barbera things, since it kinda deserves its own section! I've been getting back into my Hanna-Barbera stuff again, bit by bit. Hopefully it'll stick around for a while so I can finish up a few fics as well as get out a few ideas I've been thinking about for a while. I have the strangest moods to write stuff for Touché Turtle. Earlier today, I was thinking about working on a Touché Turtle one-shot inspired by a story I wrote back in 2019, but the plot points are all over the place. Hopefully, I can sit down and write it out. My Punkin' Puss RP blog has NOT been shut down. I'm planning on returning there to do an update (as well as the Hanna-Barbera RP I'm part of on Discord), so fear not! As for my PP&MM fics, I'm in the middle of chapter 2 of "Big City Tabby", but I've put it on hold as well so I can focus on my other stories. I'm also prepping the sequel to "Temporary Truce", titled "A Hillcat's Requiem". This story is also multi-chap and a bit darker than "Temporary Truce", but I've only gotten to the opening scene. I also have an alternate ending for Temporary Truce in mind that I hope to write next. Unlike my Zula Patrol story, I'm thinking that this will be a very long one-shot. "The Return of the Phantom Empire" is still on hiatus for the time being. I haven't watched "Galaxy Goof-Ups" in a long time, so that might be what I need to get back into writing this story. Chapter 6 is supposed to be one of the biggest chapters in the story: we get focus on the villains, there's supposed to be a fight and the Goof-Ups have more of a role. I'm having trouble making it flow together, so bear with me. Chapter 4 of "Mirror, Mirror" is almost finished, but I've put it on hold. I'm just cleaning things up in the penultimate scene before I end the chapter, since it sounded kinda ridiculous when I read it over. Just wanted to leave you guys with a little update to let you know that I'm alive! God bless, iheartgod175 My Other Haunts: Tumblr (mostly active): iheartgod (dot) tumblr (dot) com RP Blog (Punkin' Puss & Mushmouse RP Account, which I REALLY need to get back to): orneryhillcat (dot) tumblr (dot) com Wattpad (semi-active): https : // www . wattpad . com / user / iheartgod175 AO3 (not really active): https : // archiveofourown . org / users / Iheartgod175 / pseuds / Iheartgod175 YouTube (H-B Clip Central): https: // www . youtube . com / channel / UCkS-MkmSv4iT1hhce-do-zQ DeviantART (not really active, but I REALLY want to get back to it!): Chapter To-Do List: Chapter 4 of Darkness Rewrite (60% complete) Chapter 30 of Blazin' Trails (75% complete) Chapter 7 of You've Got My Attention (30% complete) Chapter 2 of I'll Never Abandon You (45% complete) My Writing Style *insert incredibly long and overly rambly section here* When I first started seriously considering posting fics on this site, I had problems. Mainly with trying to find my "breakout story", but also with finding my niche. So I asked my mom (who I read a lot of my stories to) what it was, and she said that it was action-packed stories. After going through my list of stories, I agreed with her, and from then on that was my mainstay, although it's changed over the years. In said action-packed stories, there is violence, drama, trauma, suspense, some psychological damage, tragedy, romance and (if I'm feeling in the mood to really spice things up), character death. For some reason, I can also write angst and hurt/comfort really well, too, and I'm getting better at writing romance stories, but I've been flexing my muscles in other things, such as humor, parody and such. I also have the habit of blending fantasy with realism. Just read Whispers in the Wind and you'll see what I'm talking about. That said, my stories do tend to be pretty dark. My first fic, Super Readers' Biggest Adventure , is obviously much more action packed and darker than its source material; all religion aside, it also has a lot of mythological and fantasy elements too, and the Super Readers get put through a lot of stuff. My first full-length Veggie Tales story, Hugs and Kisses, started out as a cute, fluffy Bob/Madame Blue fic, right up until I started watching soaps--that lead to Eddie Russell and his psycho boss Julian Maverick showing up at Big Idea for five chapters. Future of Wuzzleburg, which was originally going to be posted instead of SRBA, can kinda be described as Wubbzy meets Terminator, as there's a time traveler coming to Wuzzleburg in order to kill the tyrannical ruler of the world in his time. And that's not even getting into stories like The Zula Patrol: Dreamscape Crusade (which is basically alternate reality meets Nightmare Fuel), The Heroes of Time (which has the H-B worlds being overrun by the Heartless), and Fiery Heart, Broken Soul, which is not only the first collaboration I've done on this site, but also my first mature fic--it's the longest and darkest out of the fics I've written thus far due to many reasons. And if the "Protector" arc of Blazin' Trails is of any indication, even some of my lighter stories aren't safe from the occasional dark twist. Most of my fanfics are for media with slice-of-life/kids' shows that I watch, with a good majority of them being guilty pleasures of mine. Although there are adults who usually do this sort of thing anyway, I think I differ from those people for several reasons: 1. they don't have stupidity tacked in; 2. I actually try to explore the universe farther than what the show explains; and 3. there's no adult content; maybe a few innuendos here and there, but usually between the older characters, and nothing explicit, mind you. These are kids shows we're talking about here. Now, before you try to check me into the nearest asylum, let me reassure you that I'm not a sadist who likes to torture my favorite characters; I believe a lot of us authors do that, anyway. I just have a very vivid (and might I say, sometimes scary) imagination. Often all it takes is a question and a fic starts from there. And while I like writing long, dark epics, I'm not limited to just those; I also write short stories that run on The Power of Fluff (no, it's not a real term, but who cares XD) to bring some diversity to my list, so I'm not a complete sadist XD. I try to lighten things up in my serious ones by adding comedy, friendship fluff and romantic fluff to the stories; the former's something that I'm getting better at, as I've learned to loosen up and just be random at times. I'm also trying my hand at writing good romance stories, since romance is my guilty pleasure but I find such stories somewhat challenging to write, as well as genres that I've always liked/been partial to but never write, such as westerns, sci-fi, horror and crack fics; I'd really, really have to be random to write something like that.Since I've been obsessed with Westerns for the last year, I've been trying my hand at writing Western adventures. I'm quite proud of my first Western story, The Ghost of Huckleberry Hound, and I highly recommend you read Blazin' Trails as well if you like my Western stories. I hope my next few stories will live up to the genre. For sci-fi, there's The Return of the Phantom Empire (which gets a lot of inspiration from Star Wars). And for fantasy with a bit of horror, there's The Heroes of Time. For more proof that I'm not a complete fiend, there are happy endings in my stories, or at least ones that have to be worked for. The best endings that I've written, in my opinion, are for Acceptance, Hugs and Kisses, Best Friends Forever-Redone, The Ghost of Huckleberry Hound , Tea for Two and Whispers in the Wind, although for the latter three, those endings are more bittersweet due to factors in the stories themselves. Although I follow canon like most fans (for the most part), when it comes to my fics I usually choose a canon timeline and then throw in my own twist. I like to mix it up and throw together certain canons, or write a story that has nothing to do with canon at all. Most of my stories dabble in alternate universes that I created, and said universes tend to be pretty big. If the show in question doesn't have an established timeline, then I make one up and add to it with my own story, all the while referencing those episodes. Then there are the stories that are AUs to an AU that I made. Yeah, it's kind of weird. Oh, and on the topic of canon, I should also bring up character development. That's also a big one. The point of fanfiction is to take the characters/world beyond the boundaries of the TV/movie/games and show different sides of them that the shows don't explore. Even when the characters go through crap or are faced with crazy situations, I do my best to keep them true to their core, though like every writer, I have certain headcanons concerning them. Sometimes, I even expand on their personality traits to make them more relatable to the readers, especially if they had little personality to go off of (ie. how I portray Ricochet Rabbit in Blazin' Trails). I rarely go the OOC route unless I really want to (as seen by Whispers in the Wind), and normally there has to be a very good reason as to why they would go off the rails. A lot of people love to praise me for my writing, especially when it comes to descriptions, grammar and word choice. I'm very flattered, but let me be humble here: I'm pretty much an amateur compared to other writers on this site, especially FlutterChaos, BHS and PurpleProse-SB, authors of three of my favorite stories: Magical Pony Lyrical Twilight A's , Shattered Skies and Lyrical Nanoha: Time Destruction, which have awesome twists, fight scenes and descriptions that inspired some of my stories, like The Zula Patrol: Dreamscape Crusade, The Heroes of Time and Sodor Magic Crusaders. I'm humbled and touched that many people say my writing keeps them glued to the screen, and I have to agree, but every writer's open to improvement. Of course, I'm still learning about the writing process, but I'm happy to say that I'm open to critique and willing to fix my mistakes. Even so, for those of you who love my writing style, thanks! It really means a lot :) As for chapter uploads, it follows a pattern: when I first start the story, I'm really motivated and I start writing a whole bunch of chapters, snippets for later parts of the story and what not. Then somewhere along the line, writer's block, other interests and real life come in demanding my time, forcing me to put stories on hiatus. And since I'm in school, I can't work on my stories as often as I used to before. I also have a bad habit of starting new stories whenever I'm inspired and then abandoning old ones/putting them on hiatus. I only now realized recently that for all my talk of being patient, I'm actually an impatient person when it comes to a lot of things ; But I'm doing better to get back to my old ones and work on them when I have time; this way, no story goes unfinished. However, please don't rush me or badger me about working on stories I haven't worked on in a long time. This isn't directed towards specific people or anything; I prefer to work on stories (or rather, anything really) at my own pace, and I value quality over quantity. I'd rather have readers get good chapters that I took my time on rather than bad chapters that were rushed because of the whole "can't keep my public waiting" thing--something that I have done in the past, which I'm not proud of. I also care about my readers, making sure to reply to any reviews I receive. Review counts are great, but the reviews themselves are what I care about, because I want to talk to the people about my story. So if you review my work, I can guarantee that you'll get a PM from me. That's the reason why guest reviews annoy me sometimes, because then I can't respond to them. And speaking of reviews, I'd like to talk about the "awesome write more!" or such. I'm the kind of person who wants feedback on points of the story, and often I try to leave detailed feedback on other writers' works. For me, seeing reviews like that, while it's a good thing that someone actually reviewed at all, is a little disheartening. That's why I've put "Constructive criticism is welcome" on all my stories, because I want people to leave feedback so I can grow as a writer. And if you ever leave a page-long breakdown of it, I would eat it up like I do with dark chocolate :D I also love to read other authors' stories and review, and I admit, I get inspired by a lot of authors on here. If I read a story of yours and I love it, chances are I'll give you a shout-out in my fic just to gush about how awesome you are and direct people to read it. Writers should help writers after all. And your writing will end up inspiring me. Oh, and if you ever drew fanart of my original characters or my stories, you'd automatically be my friend. Just sayin'. XD iheartgod175's (ridiculously extremely long) Profile Gender: Female Age: 24 Sexuality: Straight Location: North Carolina (and that's all you're getting) Occupation: University student (currently has a Web and Graphic Design Certificate from Wake Tech Community College), aspiring authoress and artist Personality: I'm pretty quiet around people in general, though nowadays I'm more inclined to start up a conversation than before; actually, it used to be the other way around. I'm somewhat introverted, and I do have a bad habit of not talking to my friends for a while because either I'm busy or I forget...which leads me to try to avoid people. I've made some friends worry because of this ; I can be irritable sometimes (especially with my younger siblings), and I'm not the biggest people person, but I can't STAND being alone. I'm also impatient to an absurd degree; not a very good thing for an artist and writer, honestly It takes a very long time for me to get mad, but if you really decide to make me angry I'll have some choice words for you (no swearing, but a putdown). I also joke around a bit, and I have a dry sense of humor. I'll talk up a storm about things I like--as well as rant about things I hate. For the most part, I'm amiable and ready to help out if needed, and I'll make sure I get the job done right, no matter how long it takes. Since I'm not a huge people person, I treasure the friends I have and would drop kick the world for them (if they needed it, mind you). Religion: Judeo-Christian (Workhorsecommentator thought I was Catholic, so I figured I'd clear that up.). It's the reason my pen name is iheartgod. That means you can expect no swearing or explicit sexual material in my stories. Dark stuff, of course, but no swearing (except for the occasional "what the heck?", "Crap!" and Curses Cut Short/characters getting called out on attempting to swear), sex or characters doing drugs/alcohol; I do make exceptions when it's part of the story or when I want to pack a punch, but I do my best to keep it to a minimum. I also tread very carefully when it comes to magic and demonic entities, such as in Mirror, Mirror and Sodor Magic Crusaders; as much as I love fantasy and magical girls , I'm not to studying magic to the point where people think I'm studying witchcraft. Also, expect prayers at the beginning of my stories, and references to my faith. In addition, I am a huge supporter of Israel and the Jewish people, and I celebrate the Jewish holidays. Username Origin: I'd always been lurking around Fanfiction before I got an account, and I was always trying to come up with a username. At first I would've used a Japanese name, but since I got saved around 2010-2011, I figured my name would have something to do with God. I came up with the "iheartgod" part, thinking that it sounded kind of cute. The numbers I originally chose were 365, actually, but then I changed it to 17, and then 175. Don't ask where that number came from, but it stuck. From then on, that's been my username; my joke with it is that I only love God 175 days out of the year =P Major Inspirations: Hanna-Barbera, Pixar Animation, Naoko Takeuchi, Kagami Yoshimizu (creator of Lucky Star), Toei Animation, Satoru Iwata, Shigeru Miyamoto, BHS (check out his work, it's awesome!), Vulaan Kulaas (had to give a little shout out to my friends :D) Favorite Anime (bold means major): Sailor Moon, Ojamajo Doremi, Pretty Cure series (the original, Max Heart, Splash Star, Heartcatch and Smile!), Pokemon, Guyver (2005 series), Record of Lodoss War (original OVA), Dragon Ball Z, Cardcaptor Sakura, Princess Comet, Fushigi-boshi no Futago-hime, Lucky Star, Mermaid Melody Pichi Pichi Pitch, Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha (A's, A's Portable, StrikerS and ViVid in particular), Pretty Rhythm Aurora Dream, Pretty Rhythm Rainbow Live, Aikatsu!

There's this DJ on YouTube named DJ Sonicfreak, as well as the producers Raisi K. (username: RaisiM122), Natsu Fuji and StuntinSteveAustin. They do some of the coolest video game rap beats ever, and many of their beats are on my Youtube Page's Favorites playlist. Seriously check them out; they're awesome!

Wow! Wubbzy!: Walden, Widget, Chef Fritz From Super Why: I like them all, but Wonder Red is my favorite, and recently, Alpha Pig and Woofster (the former of whom I used to dislike a little) have become favorites of mine. From Yo Gabba Gabba! (yeah, out of left field but who cares): PLEX! From Lucky Star: Konata, Kagami, Yutaka, Minami, Nanako Kuroi, Hikaru Sakuraba, Fuyuki Amahara (this is a great example of how I like underdogs/seldom-appearing characters) From Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha (from most to least): Fate, Yuuno, Einhart, Chrono, Reinforce Eins (my precious), Miura (cinnamon roll), Fuka Reventon, Corona (another precious of mine), Subaru, Hayate, Caro, Nanoha, Agito, Material-S, Nove, Vita, Signum, Zafira, Arf, Material-D, Tre, Vivio (cute as a main character--but I love Einhart :D), Reinforce Zwei, Shamal, Rio, Rinne From Star Wars (most to least favorite) : C-3P0 (he's always won me over more than R2), Obi-Wan Kenobi, Anakin Skywalker, Ahsoka Tano, General Grievous, Padme Amidala, Qui-Gon Jinn, Han Solo, Luke Skywalker, Darth Sidious (I base most of my villains off of this guy, after all) From Transformers: Favorite Decepticons: Starscream (pretty much my favorite in every generation, but G1 and Armada are my favorites), Soundwave (G1), Shockwave (G1, Prime), Optimus Prime (G1 and Prime), Megatron (G1, Armada, Animated and Prime), Rumble (G1), Astrotrain (G1), Swindle (G1), Onslaught (G1) Favorite Decepticon Combiners (from top to least favorite): Predaking (G1), Piranacon (G1), Devastator (G1), Bruticus (G1, but the WFC one is pretty cool, too), Menasor (G1), Abominus (G1) Favorite Autobots: Springer, Ultra Magnus (G1), Perceptor (G1), Omega Supreme, Jazz (G1), Prowl (G1), Bumblebee (G1, Prime/War For Cybertron/Robots in Disguise), Mirage (G1), Grimlock (G1, Fall of Cybertron), Arcee (Prime; I never really cared for G1 Arcee), Blurr (G1), Hot Rod/Rodimus Prime (G1; yeah, I liked Rodimus Prime), Crosshairs (Movieverse), Drift (Movieverse and Robots in Disguise), Sideswipe (G1 and Robots in Disguise), Tracks (G1), Blaster (G1), Hound (G1), Kup (G1), Strongarm (Robots in Disguise) Favorite Autobot Combiners: Computron (G1), Defensor (G1), Superion (G1) From ThunderCats: Snarf, Cheetara, Lion-O, Panthero, Lynx-O, Pumyra, Snarfer From WALL-E: WALL-E (he's so ADORABLE!), EVE, M-O From VeggieTales: Bob, Larry, Archibald, Mr. Lunt, Jimmy, Petunia, Pa Grape, Madame Blueberry From Super Smash Brothers: Ness (have mained him ever since I was a kid), Lucas (my second choice), Kirby, Fox, Peach, Zelda, Duck Hunt (the dog is so adorable) From Star Fox: Peppy Hare (one of my top characters of all time), Fox McCloud, Falco Lombardi, Slippy Toad (I actually don't hate him now...), Lucy Hare, Beltino Toad (interestingly enough, I liked Slippy's dad before I warmed up to Slippy. Weird...), Wolf O'Donnell From Count Duckula (Love them all, really, but for the faves): Duckula, Igor, Dr. Von Goosewing From My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic (Heads up, I believe that everypony is Best Pony): Rarity, Applejack, Sunset Shimmer, Fluttershy, Rainbow Dash, Pinkie Pie, Twilight Sparkle, Cadence, Celestia, Luna From Jem: Jerrica/Jem, Stormer (she reminds me of myself a lot), Raya, Pizzazz From He-Man: Adam/He-Man, Teela, Man-At-Arms, Sy-Klone, Roboto, Orko (he's just too adorable), Skeletor, Evil-Lyn From Scooby-Doo (in order from most to least favorite): Shaggy, Velma, Fred, Scooby and Daphne From The Powerpuff Girls: Blossom, Buttercup, Bubbles, Mojo Jojo, the Mayor, Miss Bellum, the Gang Green Gang From Top Cat: Top Cat (he's the most tip-top after all), Officer Dibble (his interactions with Top Cat are hilarious to watch, and I love their love-hate friendship), Fancy-Fancy, Benny From Galaxy Goof-Ups: Captain Snerdly, Quack-Up (Yeah, I liked Quack-Up. So what?) From Hanna-Barbera (in order from most to least favorite): Huckleberry Hound (first H-B character that I ever really enjoyed), Top Cat (were it not for Huck, he'd be first place), Quick Draw McGraw, Baba Looey, Snagglepuss, Yogi Bear (nothing against Yogi, but I'm kinda biased towards Huck), Ricochet Rabbit, Droop-a-Long, Touché Turtle, Dum-Dum, Hardy Har har, Snooper, Boo-Boo, Punkin' Puss, Mushmouse, Peter Potamus, Squiddly Diddly, Breezly Bruin, Magilla Gorilla From Mobile Suit Gundam 00: Tieria Erde, Allelujah Haptism, Setsuna F. Seiei, Saji Crossroad From Odin Sphere (in order from most to least): Gwendolyn, Mercedes, Oswald, Velvet, Cornelius, Odin, Ingway, Edmund, Odette Favorite Disney Princesses: Jasmine, Ariel, Mulan, Belle From Senki Zesshou Symphogear (from most to least): Hibiki, Shirabe, Tsubasa, Chris, Genjuuro, Kirika, Miku, Maria, Ogawa From Sheriff Callie's Wild West: Peck, Toby, Callie, Uncle Bun From Your Lie in April: Kousei, Tsubaki, Takeshi From Puella Magi Madoka Magica (in order from most to least): Kyoko, Sayaka, Homura, Mami, Madoka From Flip Flappers: Papika, Yayaka, Dr. Salt From Kokoro Library: Aruto From Love Live! School Idol Project (from most to least): Honoka (Best Love Live Girl), Nozomi, Nico (How ironic...the character I hated the most ends up jumping to third place), Umi, Maki, Hanayo, Kotori, Eli, Rin (I adore Rin, though, and she has one of the best voices in µ's.) From Love Live! Sunshine!! (from most to least): Chika (Best Girl and Best Leader), Dia, Mari (OK, so I kinda sorta lied about not liking Mari. I always liked her), Ruby (my baby got the development she deserved!) , Kanan (really warmed up to her recently), You, Hanamaru, Yoshiko (they did her DIRTY in S2), Riko (same reason as Kotori; I like her, but I like everyone else over her) From BanG Dream! (listing every band member from most to least): Under reconstruction! From THE IDOLM@STER Cinderella Girls (346Pro) (the first Im@s I watched, so I'm putting it first; from most to least): Under reconstruction (currently rewatching the anime) From THE IDOLM@STER (765Pro) (I love them all, but from most to least): AkabaneP (Now I see why he's named Broducer by the fans), Chihaya (was neutral on her at first, but over time, she really grew on me, and now she's Best Girl), Ritsuko (I love her just as much as Chihaya), Takane, Makoto, Hibiki, Iori (the original Best Girl before Chihaya stole the show), Miki, Haruka (wasn't fond of her at first, but I love her costumes and she's actually kinda adorable), Yayoi, Ami, Mami, Azusa, Yukiho (the game is pretty much the only reason I don't hate Yukiho; wasn't fond of her in the anime, but she sings well and her character development is alright) From The IDOLM@STER SideM (315Pro): Shiki (Best Boy), Jirou (so freakin' handsome, and probably my second favorite), Touma (liked him from the original IM@S), Teru, Tsubasa, Minori, Pierre, Kaoru From Lupin III (from most to least): Jigen (my dude), Goemon (my crush!), Lupin, Fujiko, Zenigata (I love him, but I love the Lupin gang too much) From Revue Starlight (includes the girls from ReLIVE): Maya (Best Girl in Starlight and Best Seisho Girl), Akira (Best Siegfeld Girl; she would've been Best Girl if it weren't for Maya), Junna, Misora (Best Frontier Girl), Mahiru, Tsukasa, Rui, Fumi, Tamao, Shizuha (loved her design and cards, and recently has grown on me as a character), Lalafin, Futaba, Aruru (warmed up to her recently), Karen (also warmed up to her a lot), Claudine Strongest Subjects: History, Science, English, Art (I'm working towards becoming an anime artist) Weakest Subjects: Math (I'm definitely improving on it, though...) Strong Writing Points: Description of action scenes, scenes, and narrative in general (I'm working on how to describe background without sounding repetitive) Weak Writing Points: Describing clothing (I really have to get into different types of clothing so I can overcome this one), romantic scenes (since I'm don't have a boyfriend yet) Likes to Read/Write: Just about everything, but in order: Crossover, Adventure, Fantasy, Angst, Friendship, Hurt/Comfort, Romance (Occasionally yaoi/yuri, but not outright smut. I like a little steam in my romances, but I draw the line at very steamy romance, if you catch my drift.) Hates to Read: Character/pairing bashing fics, troll fics, stories with bad grammar, stories lumped into one paragraph. Note that I will never, EVER write things like this, whether to troll (which I hate) or to mess with someone. Doesn't Mind, but Doesn't Write: Yaoi/yuri fics (You'll notice that I have a few fics under my favorites list that do have yaoi or yuri in it. Though I have my own personal ships, I don't feel comfortable writing it, so you won't see me writing any fics of that nature.), crack fics (sometimes I read them for the laughs, but I can't really bring myself to write them.) Best at Writing: Angst, Adventure, Fantasy, Hurt/Comfort, Tragedy, Romance (most of the time; I try not to rush the romance and let it develop on its own.), Friendship and Parody Needs to Work on Writing: Humor, Sci-Fi, Horror, Supernatural, Crossover and Western, as well as gory scenes (I guess I'm not cut out to write them much...) Personal Favorite Stories: Hugs and Kisses, Fiery Heart, Broken Soul, The Ghost of Huckleberry Hound, Have Guitar, Will Travel, Acceptance: The Story of the Duck Hunt Duo, Redemption: The Story of the Last R.O.B., The Return of the Phantom Empire, Impromptu Date, No Pet Policy, Blazin' Trails OTPs: Yes, I am a shipper at heart. I've actually been shipping before I knew what "shipping" meant. There might be a few that I made up, while others are mostly hinted in canon. Multo/Zeeter, Bula/Zeeter- From The Zula Patrol. The first two couples I shipped before I knew what "shipping" meant. I came up with the idea after deciding that Bula would go well with my OC, Bonnie. I didn't see it much at first, but after watching the show, I came up with a few theories with how Multo and Zeeter would get together. In the first few stories I started writing, it was Zeeter who had the crush on Multo and he was oblivious/annoyed/slightly interested. Nowadays, it's Multo who's in love with her, but she's oblivious/annoyed/shocked at this. In my older and newer stories, the two of them got married and had a daughter together. Bula/Zeeter is also a fine ship, and as of late I've been doing that couple as well...but Multo/Zeeter will always be my favorite. :) Manny/Kelly-From Handy Manny. If the entire fanbase, including the freakin' target audience, can see that you like each other and you can't, that's a problem. Luigi/Daisy, Mario/Peach- Of course from the Mario series! Luigi and Daisy are so cute together! Mario/Peach is so obvious that it's a wonder Nintendo didn't have them get married yet. Buzz/Jessie, Woody/Bo- From Toy Story. I really, really like Buzz/Jessie more than Woody/Bo, but it made me a little sad when Bo Peep didn't show up in Toy Story 3. Schmendrick/Molly- From The Last Unicorn. Even if you weren't a shipper, there are several teasing moments in the movie that shows that Molly (possibly) likes Schmendrick. Coraline/Wybie- From Coraline. This one could be possible. Ben/Abigail- From National Treasure. They are cute together, but sometimes Abigail gets on my nerves. Arthur/Francine, Jenna/George- From the television show Arthur. A/F gets teased so much, it's even hinted that they'll get married in the future. I really think Jenna/George would be cute. Becky/Tobey- From WordGirl. I support Becky/Tobey way more than Becky/Scoops, but if I wrote a story with both couples, I might do a love triangle. In which Becky/Tobey would be the outcome :D Bernard/Bianca- From The Rescuers. The second cutest couple ever, and always manages to set me off on a big ball of squee! Van/Hitomi-From The Vision of Escaflowne. I've always liked them more than Allen/Hitomi. Ash/Misty, Ash/May, May/Drew, Jessie/James-From Pokémon. I've always thought Ash/Misty was cute, and I've got a little soft spot for Ash/May as well, but I also really like May/Drew. Oh, and I'm an unabashed Rocketshipper. Naoto/Ichigo,Johnny Bepp/Orihime-From Aikatsu! The latter is one I ship a bit more than the former, but I find Naoto/Ichigo just as cute. Thomas/Emily, Gordon/Molly, James/Molly- From Thomas the Tank Engine. I can kind of see Thomas/Emily happening since there are a few hints in canon. James/Molly is possible, even though they don't really interact in the show. Gordon/Molly came about when I was playing Thomas with my brothers, and my brother had Gordon have a crush on Molly. Bob/Madame Blueberry, Larry/Petunia, Archie/Lovey- From VeggieTales. I became a Bob/Madame Blue shipper after reading Comment person's 'Timely Love Stories', which has hints of that pairing in it. Larry/Petunia is pretty obvious, and I love Archie, so him and Lovey being paired up was no question. The only that I do when I write Archie/Lovey (or "Archilove") is portray them as old friends who become romantically involved, rather than husband and wife off the bat. That's just my opinion. At the moment, though, Bob/Madame Blue (or as I like to call them, "BoBerry") is my current OTP for the show, if Hugs and Kisses is any indication of that. Yuuno/Material-S, Chrono/Amy, Erio/Caro- From Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha. My original pair was Yuunoha, but I think Material-S would be a good match for Yuuno-kun; the second handheld game plays up this by having her call him "Master" and stuff. It'd be cool to see if the new INNOCENT manga explores this possibility; I would definitely read the manga after that. Chrono/Amy has been an OTP of mine since the first two seasons; I did ship a little bit of Chrono/Fate until the end of A's. And Erio and Caro are too adorable for words :D Whyatt/Red- From Super Why. My original pairing for this show was Whyatt/Princess Pea, but after really sitting down and thinking about it, I realized that Whyatt and Red are more compatible. Subtle hints of the ship are seen in my fanfic Super Readers' Biggest Adventure. Robin/Starfire, Beast Boy/Raven-From the original Teen Titans. I mostly like Go!, but what I don't like is how they treat the Robin/Starfire relationship in that one. Walden/Widget, Wubbzy/Daizy, Chef Fritz/Madame Zabinga, Huggy/Buggy- All of these pairings are from Wubbzy. Walden/Widget to me would be more one-sided, while I can definitely see Wubbzy/Daizy happening. Madame Zabinga/Chef Fritz would be possible only if the two have one of those "slap-slap-kiss" relationships, and Huggy/Buggy would work if they were older. Aira/Shou, Hibiki/Rizumu, Mion/Wataru- From Pretty Rhythm Aurora Dream. Aira/Shou is pretty obvious, but Rizumu/Hibiki is probably my favorite couple from the show. It's so funny for the normally energetic Rizumu to get all shy around Hibiki. The main reason I support Mion/Wataru is because I feel so bad for Wataru. Igor/Nanny- From Count Duckula. Although it seems a little far-fetched, I have to blame Steffie1 for this one. Igor always calls Nanny stupid and can't stand her most of the time, but I think that he *somewhat* cares for her, even if he won't show it. Steffie1's fic Potion Commotion pretty much got me into the idea... Cheese Sandwich/Pinkie Pie (CheesePie), Shining Armor/Cadance- From My Little Pony: FiM. I decided to see if anybody started shipping Cheese and Pinkie, and sure enough, I found a whole bunch of adorable, heartbreaking stories. I hope to put up a story about them on FimFiction soon... Huck/Desert Flower-From Hanna-Barbera's "The Good, the Bad and Huckleberry Hound". I've only heard of Desert Flower once, due to SuperAlex64's stories, and I thought they were cute, even though I've never heard of her before. Then I saw the movie itself, and they immediately became my new ship. These two just mesh together perfectly :D Most of my fics that focus on these two have taken place in the movie universe, but I have some AU ideas in mind. Top Cat/Trixie-From Top Cat: The Movie. I did think they were kind of cute before, but never really paid much attention to them after that. Ever since I went on tumblr searching for some prompts I could use for BoBerry, I fell back in love with these two. In my stories, the two banter at first, but you can't deny the chemistry between them; normally, it's Trixie who likes T.C. first, but she thinks that nobody would like her, only for T.C. to prove her wrong. Other times, both of them like each other, but they're caught up in their banter to realize that. Stories focusing on them will mostly be alternate universe. Gwendolyn/Oswald, Ingway/Mercedes, Cornelius/Velvet-From Odin Sphere. This is probably one of the few cases where I like all the ships instead of just one. Gwendolyn/Oswald was my favorite ship from that game, but Cornelius/Velvet is right behind them, to the point where I can't really tell which is my Odin Sphere OTP. Ingway/Mercedes, while I like them, is kind of hanging off to the back. I think my biggest issue is probably writing Ingway's super snarky nature. One of my friends is like the master of IngMer fics, so I leave them to her, though . Fletch/Tyne- From Chuggington. It's kind of easy to see their playful bickering as something to hide their feelings...that or I guess I've been wearing shipping goggles for way too long... Callie/Peck-From Sheriff Callie's Wild West. Blame the dA artists on this one; I was just looking for pictures of Peck and some Callie/Peck pics came up...and then I ended up looking around for more pictures of them because I ended up thinking they were cute. Plus, I've written a few fics on them, one of which is a long-running one. Steven/Connie-From Steven Universe, of course. It can go both ways, though... Marlin/Dory-Of course, from Finding Nemo. I never considered these two an actual possibility until a friend of mine (who kind of got back into Finding Nemo) told me about it. I can see it going both ways, though (hence why I've listed this pair under BroTP as well), but just imagining the highstrung Marlin falling for the free-spirited Dory is pretty adorable. NozoEli, NozoNico, TsubaHonk-The only ships from the original Love Live! School idol Project that I like; although I love NozoEli, I find Nozomi/Nico to be cute as well. And of course, there's TsubaHonk. :) ChikaYou, DiaChika, ChikaRiko, ChikaKanan, YouRiko, RubyMaru, RubyLeah, DiaMaru, YohaRuby, KanaDia-From Love Live! Sunshine!!. I ship Best Love Live Girl with virtually everyone in Aqours, but ChikaYou is my main ship, followed by DiaChika. I didn't even know it was a thing until seeing some fan art for it on Tumblr and it's super cute. I've also warmed up to ChikaRiko as a ship as well; I used to hate them since in season one it felt more like forced yuri bait (and because it got in the way of my ship; yes, I'm ashamed), but some of the art is cute, the fics are great, its shippers as a whole are cool people and I will defend Riko if people start trying to shift blame on her. Plus, YouRiko works if there's DiaChika :) KanaChika is a pairing I've warmed up to recently, although it can also be BroTP. RubyMaru is adorbs but recently I've come to really like RubyLeah and DiaMaru. YohaRiko and YohaRuby are also cute. And while I don't really hate KanaMari, I prefer KananDia. HibiMiku, KiriShira, Tsubamaria, TsubaChris-From Senki Zesshou Symphogear. HibiMiku's cute, but I love KiriShira more. And I ship Tsubasa with both Maria and Chris. Fight me :3 ChiHaru, YukiMako, YayoIori, AzuRitsu, Azusa/Producer, Kotori/Producer-From the original IDOLM@STER. ChiHaru's probably my main ship, since I've read some really good fics featuring the two and I love their dynamic. YukiMako's also good. And I low key ship YayoIori, but I like them as best friends. AzuRitsu is a pairing that I've seen around, and it's cute, despite my feelings on Azusa. Plus, I've seen work of Azusa/Producer, and it's really adorable. UzuRin, MikuRiina-From the IDOLM@STER Cinderella Girls. I don't really ship anyone there, but I really like Uzuki and Rin's dynamic though. KasuAri, EveMaya- From BanG Dream!. About the only two ships I like from that series, honestly... Lupin/Fujiko, Jigen/Goemon, Jigen/Fujiko, Zenigata/Fujiko, Goemon/Fujiko-From Lupin III. Despite all of her backstabbing ways, I like Fujiko, and I do love Lupin's devotion to his Fujicakes, despite the problems she brings. Their dynamic is always interesting to watch and often it makes me laugh. You can blame FF. Net and Tumblr for Jigen/Goemon, and Tumblr (well, more specifically an RP blog called jigen-daisuke) for making me ship Jigen/Fujiko. It's now one of the few crack ships that I enjoy that I would openly ship. As for Fujiko/Goemon and Fujiko/Zenigata...I think those are mostly pure crack ships I enjoy. What can I say, Fujiko's kinda like the town bicycle in the Lupin fandom :P Canon/OC OTPs: Honestly, who doesn't have one? :D This section is still under construction! OC/OC OTPs: Even original characters get a little love between each other once in a while. BroTPs: My favorite friendship pairs :3 Nanoha and Fate, Nanoha and Vita, Fate and Signum-Yeah, the Nanoha fandom will probably have my head for these, but I mostly enjoy Nanoha and Fate as this (although I don't mind their status in ViVid). Nanoha's interactions with Vita, especially in the second movie, were so cute (then again, Vita was adorable in that movie), so I can definitely see them as being an odd pair of best friends. And of course, there's Fate and Signum; the pairing itself tends to weird me out. Tsubasa and Maria, Maria and Kanade, Hibiki and Chris- From Senki Zesshou Symphogear. I've seen some cool artwork of Maria and Kanade interacting that kind of warmed me up to the idea. And Hibiki's interactions with Chris are always funny and adorable, yet heartwarming, which is why XV has me hyped since the two are working together a lot more frequently and highlights the trust Chris has in Hibiki. And while I kinda like Tsubasa and Maria together, I can see their relationship like this too. Madoka and Mami, Kyoko and Sayaka, Madoka and Homura-From Puella Magi Madoka Magica. I love Mami's big sister nature towards Madoka, and Kyoko and Sayaka's friendship is always amusing to watch. And of course, Madoka's interactions with Homura were adorable. Peridot and Steven, Amethyst and Peridot, Steven and Connie-From Steven Universe. Marlin and Dory, Woody and Buzz, Lightning and Mater-From Pixar, of course. Peck and Toby-From Sheriff Callie's Wild West. Konata and Kagami, Yutaka and Minami, Misao and Ayano-From Lucky Star. I can understand the writer playing up the yuri subtext as a way of drawing in readers, but I never saw any of these three pairs as anything more than that. Konata and Kagami make me laugh. Bob and Larry, Archie and Larry, Pa Grape and Mr. Lunt-From VeggieTales. These three are pretty much common in most of my VeggieTales fics. Top Cat and Huck, T.C. and Officer Dibble, Yogi and Huck, Huck and Snagglepuss, Quick Draw and Baba Looey, Snooper and Blabber, Shaggy and Scooby, Touché Turtle and Dum-Dum, Ricochet and Droop-a-Long-From Hanna-Barbera. You'd be surprised to see T.C. and Huck as first on this list, since they hardly interact, but I personally think that they'd be great friends. In most of my stories featuring HuckleFlower or T.C./Trixie, these two are like the best bros. I love the Dibble/T.C. odd friendship; it's the main reason why those two are my favorite characters. Huck and Yogi's friendship (which was even seen in the cartoons), as well as Huck and Snagglepuss' friendship (which was also in the cartoons and can be seen in The Heroes of Time), are also great Huck friendships that I like. And of course, you can't leave out Shaggy and Scooby. Other odd friendship pairs that I like include the "opposites attract" friendships of Quick Draw and Baba Looey (namely in The Ghost of Huckleberry Hound and in Have Guitar, Will Travel), Snooper and Blabber (which I think is more of those odd, snarky friendships but you can tell they're the best of bros), Touché Turtle and Dum-Dum (for about the same reason as Ricochet and Droop-a-Long), and Ricochet Rabbit and Droop-a-Long (I mean, I wrote an entire collection about it!). Ichigo and Aoi, Ringo and Orihime-From Aikatsu! I can see why people ship them, but I prefer them as friends. Kirby and Meta-Knight-From Kirby, of course. Reading Vulaan Kulaas' stories got me into the idea, and I love how she portrays them in a father-son relationship. Ash and Pikachu-From Pokemon. True best friends to the end :D Layton and Luke-From Professor Layton. I love the mentor-student relationship between them :D Rarity and Rainbow Dash, Applejack and Rarity, Rainbow Dash and Pinkie Pie-From My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic. Lupin and Jigen, Jigen and Goemon, Lupin and Goemon, Lupin and Zenigata-From Lupin III. Although I can definitely see why some people ship them (and I ship almost all of them except for Lupin/Zenigata), it's the friendships between them that I love the most. Lupin and Jigen's partnership is awesome, and I love how the special Episode 0: First Contact showed how they started working together. As for Jigen and Goemon, I love how even though they aren't as close as Lupin and Jigen, they respect each other as both men and warriors, and I love their remarks when it comes to Fujiko (which I admit, even as a fan of Fujiko, that she sometimes deserves). For Lupin and Goemon, I like their dynamic well enough, although the fact that Goemon went from "I'll do whatever it takes to kill you" to "I'll help you out with anything" still baffles me. And Lupin and Zenigata are likable for the same reasons as Officer Dibble and T.C. above, except that Zenigata has totally earned the nickname "Pops"--for all his wanting to capture Lupin, there's no denying that he cares about the thief's well-being and sometimes even has fatherly concern for him. Likewise, Lupin views him as a worthy rival and won't allow anybody to capture him other than Pops, and sometimes he feels bad when it appears that Zenigata's dead. One of the reasons that In Memory of Walther P-38/Island of Assassins and Voyage to Danger are two of my favorite movies is because of this whole dynamic...which, along with competent Zenigata, always gets me squeeing :) NicoRinPana, HonoRin, HonoNico, HonoChika, HonoMaki, YohaChika, YouHane, ChikaMari, ChikaMaru- From both Love Live! and Sunshine!!. NicoRinPana (and then there's simply NicoPana) are the original Three Bros, while HonoRin had a duet together; I don't mind the ship, but I don't quite see the reason people ship them honestly. As for HonoNico and HonoMaki...I kinda joked about them being ships and then it turned out they existed. And while I don't mind them as ships (they're better than NicoMaki, at least), I think they'd have this dynamic. And I did read a good HonoChika ship fic, but as for me, I think the two of them would be the best of "bros" for a loose term. Same with ChikaMaru and YouHane; I don't see the appeal of them as ships. As for ChikaMari and YohaChika, I can see ChikaMari being the two crazy sisters who'd do anything and everything (although Mari would rein Chika in on her more outlandish ideas), whlie YohaChika would be like the siblings who fight but would drop kick someone if they looked at either of them wrong. NoTPs: Yes, even someone like me has pairings that I don't like. Of course, I won't shove them down your throat or make you feel like trash for liking them, and I respect you for liking something I don't. MadoHomu (Madoka/Homura)-This is due Homura's obsessive and possessive nature towards Madoka in the original series. She has a reason for it, of course, but those kinds of things aare huge turn-off factor for me, so...yeah, you can see why I don't like this one. NanoFate-Again, partly due to the BroTP factor, but also because I feel that it's overexposed and it feels like it's being shoved in my face everywhere I go. I actually used to be pretty neutral towards NanoFate until a friend of mine started being harassed for writing Yuunoha stories, and I encountered stories where one of my favorite characters, Yuuno, was being treated like dirt in about 90% of them. Becky/Scoops, Becky/Two-Brains-From WordGirl. I like Scoops as a character, but I don't see any chemistry between him and Becky. And Becky/Two-Brains doesn't work at all because the age difference... Layton/Luke, Layton/Flora-From Professor Layton. This one usually brings out a lot of disgust in me, for very obvious reasons. It's Layton in a relationship with an eleven-year old boy, for crying out loud. Even aging Luke up (which leads to Layton/Legal Luke) doesn't lessen my disgust. I've heard that people have also shipped Layton with Flora, the girl that he adores like a daughter...*shudders* I know that Layton is a shipping bicycle, but COME ON, people. Ash/Pikachu-With the possible exception of Chikorita/Bayleef, I usually don't ship Ash with any of his Pokemon, but this one is just flat-out weird. Allen/Hitomi-From The Vision of Escaflowne. I always thought that Allen was kinda creepy towards Hitomi in the anime. Lucas/Maya-From Girl Meets World. It may be because I love Lucas/Riley, but I don't really see too much chemistry between the two of them. As the episode "Girl Meets Ski Lodge" showed, Lucas and Maya probably would be at each other's throats, what with Maya's rule-breaking and Lucas trying to be the noble one. Robin/Starfire (Teen Titans Go!)-Yeah, this isn't too much of a surprise. Aside from Robin being overly obsessed with Star, there are episodes where she takes advantage of his feelings and uses them to humiliate him; those episodes were not cool. Edmund/Lucy-From The Chronicles of Narnia. I don't like incest period, but this one in particular makes my skin crawl. I can see people shipping the actors, but the characters? Seriously? Top Cat/Officer Dibble- From Top Cat. I can kinda see why people ship them; due to Top Cat's smooth personality, it sounds like he's sweet-talking everyone, Dibble included. Personally, I enjoy their love-hate friendship. I can tolerate it, though, but I don't ship it. KotoUmi, NicoMaki- From Love Live! School Idol Project. Not a big fan of either of these ships, though the former moreso than the latter. I can understand why people ship NicoMaki, but not really seeing the appeal of KotoUmi. YohaMaru, DiaRuby-From Love Live! Sunshine!!. While I like Yoshiko and Hanamaru's dynamic, I ship both with other members of Aqours. DiaRuby brings out more disgust in me than the Layton/Luke ship and makes me HIGHLY uncomfortable. Lupin/Zenigata-From Lupin III. I don't ship them for the same reasons I don't ship T.C./Officer Dibble, and I much prefer their pseudo-father/son dynamic. Unlike most of the NoTPs on this list, however, I can tolerate it as long as I don't find smut of them. Major Projects (the main projects I want to focus on this year) The Zula Patrol: Dreamscape Crusade Remastered: During a trip to newly discovered ruins, Multo and his friend Professor Autofocus make a startling discovery that ultimately results in tragedy for the Zula Patrol. A few weeks after the funeral, a new threat rises from the ashes of this tragedy: an ancient alien race known as the Dreamscapers, led by the mysterious and manipulative Paragor. The planet descends into chaos as Paragor conducts his 'Dreamscape Crusade', which involves destroying reality to fit his twisted desires...but not before laying waste to Zula in an act of revenge. With the help of allies both old and new, the fractured Zula Patrol are brought in to save the day, but soon discover that what they've learned isn't even half of the whole story. In order to get to the bottom of the situation, they unearth secrets that should have been hidden and grudges that have lasted for centuries, testing the iron resolve and bonds they share. It's another job for the Zula Patrol...but with a threat of this magnitude, failure is not an option. A sci-fi/fantasy mix, mainly concerning with alternate universes and technology. Inspired by the fic Lyrical Nanoha: Time Destruction by Flutter-Chaos, as well as numerous anime. Bula/Zeeter, Multo/Professor Precipito, one-sided Multo/Zeeter, and an OC-pairing. Chapters: 2/40 Status: Chapter 3 in drafting stages Author's Notes: I finally got to posting the first chapter of this rewrite! I'm so glad that so many of you like it so far! I guarantee that this story is going to be a blast! Blazin' Trails: He's the fastest sheriff in the West, with a prideful nature and a bit of a temper to boot. He's the slowest deputy around, bumbling through life in his clumsy, easygoing way. They've had their fair share of fights, and more than once they've been put through the ringer. But if one thing can't be argued, it's that their friendship, while odd, is unbreakable. A collection of vignettes focusing on Ricochet Rabbit and Droop-a-Long, ranging from sweet to silly to serious. Features Droop-a-Long/OC (and future Ricochet/OC) in some shorts. Chapters: 28/30 Status: Chapter 29 in progress Author's Note: I can hardly believe that this story's almost three years old. Not only is this my longest work in the Hanna-Barbera fandom (come to think of it, I think this is the longest work in the Hanna-Barbera archive period), but this is probably my longest work on this site (with Sodor Magic Crusaders and SRBA not far behind). This wasn't even supposed to be a series; it was supposed to just be a one-shot, but then it turned into a freaking anthology. I've heard that a lot of people enjoy my characterizations of Ricochet and Droop-a-Long, and my good friend Vulaan Kulaas has contributed by writing a fic of her own and creating OCs too. Thanks to all who have read and enjoyed this story; it means a lot to me that there are other Ricochet Rabbit and Droop-a-Long fans out there. :) You've Got My Attention: When Sheriff Callie receives attentions from a persistent cat named Timothy, her deputy Peck steps in to drive him off. It was supposed to be over after that, but Timothy isn't about to step aside. The situation that unfolds not only brings disorder to Nice 'n Friendly Corners, but it also brings up buried secrets-Peck's feelings for a certain sheriff being one of them. A Sheriff Callie's Wild West fic. Callie/Peck. Chapters: 6/13 Status: Chapter 6 posted; chapter 7 drafting Author's Note: Who knew that this Sheriff Callie's Wild West fic would be decently popular? I'm not one to brag, but this fic's found some fans on here, dA and Wattpad. A BIG thanks to everyone who's been reading this story and commenting on it. I would've continued it even if it didn't attract anybody, but learning that not only have fans been reading this fic but also took the time to gift me fan art is amazing, and certainly not the response I expected. Seriously, thanks guys :D On Hiatus I'll Never Abandon You: The Crystal Castle and the realms beyond may be restored, but Glover hopes to restore his relationship with his brother, Patches, who has been increasingly distant. He believes that Patches doesn't care for him anymore-but a situation involving an old enemy of Lance's changes all that. A two-shot request for my good friend, Vulaan Kulaas. Chapters: 1/2 Status: Chapter 2 being written Author's Notes: This story's been lying dormant for a while, but I promised Vulaan Kulaas that I would finish it, so that's what I'm going to do. Unlike most of my fics that are on hiatus, I actually know how it's going to end; it's just writing the darn thing that's bugging me... The Return of the Phantom Empire: The safety of the galaxy is threatened when the remnants of a horrific enemy known as the Phantom Empire, led by the wizened and terrifying Donkirk, arise after ten years of banishment. Bent on revenge, they capture Top Cat and his crew and hold them hostage as part of their plot to regain power. The Galaxy Goof-Ups are called onto the case, but when their goofing around puts Snerdly in the hands of the enemy, the team could be facing serious consequences as a result of their constant failure. A fanfic for the oft-forgotten Yogi Bear spin-off Galaxy Goof-Ups, expanded from one of my "Hanna-Barbera Head Dumps". Chapters: 5/15 Status: Chapter 6 in planning stage Author's Notes: I'm quite surprised with the response that this fic has gotten; I seriously didn't expect any reviews or favorites for it. According to most H-B fans, Galaxy Goof-Ups is one of the worst Hanna-Barbera cartoons of all time, so writing a fic about it was not only a challenge, but it sounded foolhardy! However, my friend and fellow deviant CooperGal24 (who has some really cool H-B fanart; you should check her stuff, it's awesome) loves the story and a few other people enjoyed it (including my brother, who isn't as big a H-B fan). Thanks to all who reviewed and favorited! It really makes my day! :D Big City Tabby: Punkin' Puss receives a letter from a long forgotten friend, and in the letter is an invitation to spend a week in the big city. Deciding to take a break from his feud with Mushmouse, Punkin' accepts the invitation, and heads out...not knowing that Mushmouse has also tagged along! With fancy parties, beautiful girls, family drama and good old-fashioned feuding, one thing's for sure: it's one vacation neither of them will forget! A four-shot Punkin' Puss and Mushmouse fic partly for "finals relief"...and because I felt like it. Chapters: 1/4 Status: Part 2 on hiatus Author's Notes: I am going back and forth on this fic. The good news is, the chapter's at the halfway point, and I mostly know the events that's going to happen afterwards. The bad news is, I'm trying to get past that halfway point for ages... Mirror, Mirror: Trixie LaRue is a down-to-earth journalist who's got an eye for fashion. She didn't believe that magic or anything remotely supernatural was real...right up until she purchased a beautiful mirror with a ghastly surprise: a cat trapped inside it. The cat in question, Top Cat, is a prisoner from four centuries past who's got his eye on freedom, and believes that Trixie's the key to it. At first, Trixie wants nothing to do with this, but when strange forces start taking interest in her and Top Cat, she may have to believe in the impossible in order to save him. In the midst of this, an unlikely partnership forms between them, but will demons of the past and preset keep them from being anything more than just friends? Modern-day fantasy AU inspired by an OTP prompt, and T.C./Trixie. Chapters: 3/12 Status: Chapter 4 nearly complete Author's Notes: I haven't forgotten this fic at all. I have been writing it off and on, but I've just been having writer's block regarding some parts. This chapter is halfway finished, but it's just taking a while. SRBA Gaiden: Darkness Rewrite: Stories in the fairytale world are being severely altered, and Whyatt is suspected to be responsible for it. In order to clear his name, the Super Readers venture into the ruined stories, only to encounter a threat the likes of which they'd never seen before. A four-part side-story to Super Readers' Biggest Adventure leading to Chaos' Revenge, and contains small Whyatt/Red moments. Chapters: 3/4 Status: Chapter 4 in progress Author's Notes: I started chapter 4 not long after posting chapter 3. I do have some ideas for how it's going to end up, but right now, I want to focus on my other stories, first. The Damage Control (stories that can be updated at any time) If Likin' You Is Wrong & Other Stories: Droop-a-Long Coyote's the slowest, sweetest deputy around, bumbling through life in his own easygoing way. Denise Falconeri's a rabbit who, while being a proper lady, has a bit of an adventurous streak. On normal circumstances, these two never would've met, let alone form a relationship. That'd all change with one sentence: "I know this ain't entirely the best of ideas. But if likin' you is wrong, then I don't want to do the right thing." A small companion collection to Blazin' Trails, leading directly up to the events of the short "Rapid Romance". Droop-a-Long/OC Chapters: 1/8 Status: Overhaul (Rewriting chapter 1, writing chapter 2) Author's Note: This companion series to Blazin' Trails was just going to be the Valentine's Day special, but I decided it'd be good to explain Denise's and Droop-a-Long's love story. Since I was kinda dissatisfied with the original ending, I'm going to rewrite the first chapter before working on the second one...or maybe I might take it down and repost a better version. The Remasters Inspired heavily by Kingdom Hearts (which is infamous for their "Final Mixes"), I've decided that certain stories of my need to be completely overhauled. These will have new scenes, updated writing styles, better character portrayals/development and such. Fiery Heart, Broken Soul Remastered: A full out remaster of my second Super Smash Brothers fic, written using Vulaan Kulaas's OC, and my first mature story. Warnings/triggers: graphic violence, psychological and physical torture, implied rape and sexual themes (but not for the reasons you believe). Chapters: 114 Status: Original version scrapped and being rewritten Author's Notes: This story WILL return, I promise. It hasn't been updated in three years, and it really, REALLY needs an update. As I've said before, I have a better grasp on Scarlet than when I was first writing her, and I believe I improved greatly as a writer from the last time I updated FH, BS. Plus, I never did come up with a proper outline for the story...which doesn't really work when you're trying to write an epic with every Nintendo character (and non Nintendo character) ever. I didn't want to take it down without asking Vulaan Kulaas first, though, but she pretty much agreed with me, so I'll be giving this story the remake treatment too. Have Guitar, Will Travel (Remastered): A remake of the original 4-shot sequel to The Ghost of Huckleberry Hound. Quick Draw/OC, with some hints of Baba/OC. Chapters: 4 Status: Original version scrapped and being rewritten Author's Notes: I've agonized over this story for years, because I didn't want to leave people hanging, but I also couldn't come up with anything. I have an original outline that I wrote out, but I changed it later on during the writing of the fic. And now I have no idea what to do for the ending now... *sighs* A part of me wants to finish the story and give it a proper ending, but I'm thinking of doing a new story with the original outline. I must apologize to those who were looking forward to seeing the original fic's conclusion, but I just can't continue it the way it is now. I'm going to use the original outline for this story and rewrite it as it was originally intended. I won't spoil it for you, but let's just say that you'll enjoy this rewrite a little better than the first version. The Heroes of Time ReMIX: A full-out remaster of the original Hanna-Barbera/Kingdom Hearts crossover, Kingdom Hearts style! Chapters: 50 (for now) Status: Original version scrapped and being rewritten Author's Note: When I started writing this, I was starting to get into Hanna-Barbera, but I knew very little of Kingdom Hearts. However, I figured "Hey, KH is cool, and H-B is cool, so I'll just put together and see what I come up with". I just basically made up stuff as I went along while using info from the KH Wiki. I had a semi-outline I started a few years ago, but discarded it later. The problem I have now is that while I know WAY more about H-B than I originally did, I still don't know much about Kingdom Hearts...which has made the recent chapters feel kinda weird. I've recently tried to rewrite the first chapter of the story, but I've run into the same problem. With KH3 about to come out, I figured I might as well buy the games and play them to get a better understanding of the KH world, then do a proper outline for the story again, this time incorporating the KH elements in the HB universe. Does this mean Sora and the others will appear in this remake? Who knows for sure? But I'm pretty sure this will be remade in the same vein as the many KH collections, possibly "The Heroes of Time ReMIX" or something like that :D Just like Fiery Heart, Broken Soul, I'm going to do a revamp of this story to add more KH elements to the story and update the portrayals of the Hanna-Barbera characters I started with. Tea for Two Redone: A full-out remaster of my original fic, Tea for Two. AU (obviously), and Archie/Lovey, with very light sprinkles of BoBerry (Bob/Madame Blueberry). Chapters: 10 Status: Original version scrapped and being rewritten Author's Note: You'd think that my return to the VeggieTales fandom would be with the series I started, but I want to try my hand at writing romance again. And this time with one of my favorite (but also cringe-inducing) fanfics from before I left the VT fandom. I liked writing this at first and was glad to finish it...but on the other hand, it was riddled with plot holes and contradictions. And I felt that I rushed the romance, too, something that I really didn't like. So I'm going to take it down and revamp it from the ground up and hopefully make the characters a little more likable and their actions making a lot more sense. I'm also thinking of redoing "Hugs and Kisses" as well, but I might leave up the original for people to read instead of taking it down. Sodor Magic Crusaders: Thomas Billington is a hard-working, but cheeky university student. He and his good friend, Toby, are getting through the second-to-last semester of school, and it seems as though he's got his life in the bag. That all changes when an injured man falls out of the sky, carrying a set of mysterious pages and an equally mysterious jewel. When another man with a flaming sword comes falling out of the sky moments later with the intention to kill them, Thomas ends up activating the strange jewel, Raising Heart, and becomes a mage. Not long after this, the seven pages that Percy had been carrying split all over Sodor. With these pages all over Sodor, the peaceful island becomes the focal point in a magical war from another dimension as evil mages come to find the page. Agreeing to help recover the Pages before the evil Diesel 10 can, Thomas and his new friends face a set of challenges that will test their resolve. A humanized fusion crossover with Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha, set in an alternate universe and filled with divergences from canon. Chapters: 15/20 Status: Chapter 15 posted; currently on hiatus Author's Note: If you think this is the strangest story I've ever written, you don't want to see my older fics XD In the future, I'll be giving this story a remake treatment in the vein of The MOVIE 1st, but that'll be after I finish this story. On Permanent Hiatus Dog Days: After losing his job due to fighting with another employee, Huckleberry Hound finds a job offer in the newspaper that reads "We have a fabulous new job for you in Equestria, a peaceful world, and one that promises good pay. Positions available now!" Said job offer didn't specify what the job was, but the words "good pay" were enough for Huck. So he packs his bags and makes his way there, following the directions the map gave him. A bizarre portal trip later, he arrives in a world with colorful equine creatures, and learns from a hyperactive local that this is the Equestria the paper was referring to. Despite the weird new surroundings, Huck ends up getting a new job as a member of the Royal Guard thanks to Princess Celestia, and settles into a comfortable life with his new friends. Of course, wherever Huck goes, trouble isn't far behind. Not long after starting his new job, a horrific monster from ages past is unleashed, turning ponies into crystals and consuming Ponyville with dark magic. And Huck finds out that he's first in the line of defense to stop it. Some "fabulous new job" this turned out to be. A Hanna-Barbera/MLP:FIM crossover (possibly the first of its kind) filled with silly antics, some slice-of-life moments and cameos from various characters! Author's Note: I had to put this story on hold for right now. I've more or less fallen out of the MLP fandom, sporadically returning to the show every now and again, and every attempt to work on this story is not working the way I want it to. I'll come back to it and it will get the ending it deserves...but not right now, however. Future Projects Thingamabob: Origins: Takes place before the League of Incredible Vegetables, and partially inspired by Iron Man. Bob the Tomato is an aspiring inventor who recently moved to the small, peaceful city of Rapscale. He starts a new job, makes friends with the neighbors, and thinks that nothing could go wrong with the town. This is proven wrong, however, when the city falls under a wave of crime after two new supervillains start terrorizing the city. Unable to watch this unfold and do nothing, Bob uses his inventing skills to make a super powered belt with various gadgets. Donning a whole new identity, he decides to take on crime as the one and only Thingamabob. A VeggieTales joint effort with Jack Frost cadi93. Author's Note: This story almost became my first full-length VeggieTales fanfic, but in February 2013, I ended up writing Hugs and Kisses instead. I made friends with Jack Frost cadi93 during that time, and after writing Best Friends Forever-Redone, I decided to follow through on my story. Unfortunately, since I lost interest in VeggieTales, it didn't get off the ground. But there is hope for it, since recently, I've been rediscovering my love for the classic episodes. I think that people are holding out for Hugs and Kisses-Remastered, but we'll see. Status: On hold Ricocheted Rendezvous: While investigating a series of crimes in Hoop ‘n Holler, Ricochet Rabbit is stunned to find a letter from Melissa Starkweather, his former girlfriend that he loved but later lost to his job and to another rabbit. In her letter, she states that she desperately needs his help, and arranges to meet him at their old meeting place. The two reunite, but any chance of a rekindled romance is dashed when Melissa's life, as well as that of a friend of Ricochet's, is put in danger. As he pursues the criminials, Ricochet finds himself facing a daunting decision: the call of duty or his heart's desire. GoHH universe. Sequel to Have Guitar, Will Travel, focusing on Ricochet Rabbit and Droop-a-Long. Ricochet/OC A/N: I started this story around the same time I finished up chapter 3 of Have Guitar, Will Travel...and now it's in the same state that it's in. I will finish this thing...as soon as I finish Have Guitar, Will Travel. Status: On hiatus The Knights of Hanabera: Hanabera, a kingdom full of awesome magic, mythical creatures and talking animals, is in a state of chaos. With the king having fallen in battle, and with their enemies planning to take advantage of its chaotic state of affairs, the race is on to claim the throne. The prince, Cornelius, was exiled years ago, leaving the king's most powerful general, Dick Dastardly, next in line for the throne-and he's more interested in having ultimate power rather than restoring order. When Dastardly's plans for world domination become known, it's up to six warriors to overthrow him and his wicked council. Will they find the prince and help him regain the throne? Or will all be lost? Fantasy AU heavily inspired by Odin Sphere. HuckleFlower, T.C./Trixie and Quick Draw/OC. Author's Note: I scrapped this idea a while back, but playing Odin Sphere Leifthrasir inspired me to go back to it. Status: Drafting Kicked Into High Gear: New and improved summary coming soon! Author's Note: Another collaboration with an author called brave kid. I'm trying to finish up a few of my other stories before I work on my collabs. Status: Outlining Very Veggie Romance: Five months after making Carrotblanca, Bob gets a call from Letti Jameson, the creator of the popular Tales of the Fridge series, who is interested in making a remake of the second movie. Being fans of the series, Bob immediately signs on for the project, and the Veggies get to work with Rick Loraine and the other costars of the show. Romance between the various couples blossoms on set...but will everything be ruined when an old enemy wreaks havoc? The long-awaited sequel to Hugs and Kisses. Archie/Lovey, Larry/Petunia, and Bob/Madame Blueberry, as well as Mr. Lunt/Ellen and an OC pairing. Author's Note: So many people wanted to see this story--and come to think of it, so did I! The Dugan Crown Affair: A week after the Black Knight Incident, Touché and Dum-Dum learn that Dum-Dum has received a massive family fortune, which includes a crown said to control dragons. They make their way to Ireland to claim it, only to discover the real reason Dum-Dum inherited this treasure. Sequel to For Love and Glory. Status: Drafting chapter 1 Author's Note: I started drafting sequels for For Love and Glory not long after completing the story, and this is the first one, focusing on Touché's faithful sidekick Dum-Dum, although Touché's still going to have a major role in it alongside a few other OC's. I'm still working out some details, but I won't be posting this story until I finish all the chapters and knock out a few things on my to-do list :) Original Characters To say that I have a lot of original characters is an understatement. The only place that could possibly house them all is a wiki :) And speaking of, here's the link to The Melting Pot: Some of these characters are recycled from my older stories that'll never see the light of day on this site...unless you are morbidly curious, and then I'll put them on Tumblr. :) I tend to do pretty detailed bios on them filled with lots of info, because I love doing it Included here are my friend Vulaan Kulaas' OCs, who often asks me to write stories featuring her characters. I often end up fleshing out a lot of her characters since I'm pretty good at that kind of things. I do my best to make sure that these characters are well-developed and not overpowered, instantly liked Mary-Sues. Your mileage may vary on that, but I hope I'm doing my job right :) I'll list them by story so you won't wonder where the heck these guys are supposed to go. The story's title is in italics, and the character's bio is in bold. * IMPORTANT NOTE: The info in these profiles contain spoilers for events in my stories. If you made it this far and don't want parts of the story to be spoiled for you, then don't read. You have been warned! Christian Wall I believe in God and I am completely devoted to His teachings-my pen name is not 'iheartgod175' for no reason. Don't believe me? See these posts for yourself. These are just some random things that I've pulled from other user's profiles, mainly DJ Scales and Little Christian. You have two choices: repost these, or ignore it and act like they didn't open your eyes. Mature Eyes Only This may make you stop and think... because it's very true Why do we sleep in church, but when the ceremony is over we suddenly wake up? Why is it so hard to talk about God, but so easy to talk about sex? Why are we so bored when we look at a Christian magazine, but find it easy to read Playboy? Why is it so easy to ignore a Godly Myspace message, yet we repost the nasty ones? Why are churches getting smaller, but bars and clubs are growing? Think about it- are you going to repost this? Are you going to ignore it, cause you think you'll get laughed at? Just remember God is always watching you. The Lord said: "If you deny me in front of your friends, I will deny you in front of my father". Repost this as "Mature Eyes Only." 90% of you won't repost this; but remember that God loves you. One day, when I was a freshman in high school, I saw a kid from my class was walking home from school.His name was Kyle. It looked like he was carrying all of his books.I thought to myself, 'Why would anyone bring home all his books on a Friday? He must really be a nerd.' I had quite a weekend planned (parties and a football game with my friends tomorrow afternoon), so I shrugged my shoulders and went on. As I was walking, I saw a bunch of kids running toward him. They ran at him, knocking all his books out of his arms and tripping him so he landed in the dirt. His glasses went flying, and I saw them land in the grass about ten feet from him. He looked up and I saw this terrible sadness in his eyes. My heart went out to him. So, I jogged over to him as he crawled around looking for his glasses, and I saw a tear in his eye. As I handed him his glasses, I said, 'Those guys are jerks. They really should get lives.' He looked at me and said, 'Hey thanks!' There was a big smile on his was one of those smiles that showed real gratitude.I helped him pick up his books, and asked him where he lived. As it turned out, he lived near me, so I asked him why I had never seen him before. He said he had gone to private school before now. I would have never hung out with a private school kid before. We talked all the way home, and I carried some of his books. He turned out to be a pretty cool kid. I asked him if he wanted to play a little football with my friends. He said yes.We hung out all weekend and the more I got to know Kyle, the more I liked him, and my friends thought the same of him. Monday morning came, and there was Kyle with the huge stack of books again.I stopped him and said, 'Boy, you are gonna really build some serious muscles with this pile of books everyday!' He just laughed and handed me half the books. Over the next four years, Kyle and I became best friends.. When we were seniors we began to think about college. Kyle decided on Georgetown and I was going to Duke. I knew that we would always be friends, that the miles would never be a problem. He was going to be a doctor and I was going for business on a football scholarship. Kyle was valedictorian of our class. I teased him all the time about being a nerd. He had to prepare a speech for graduation.I was so glad it wasn't me having to get up there and speak. Graduation day, I saw Kyle. He looked great.He was one of those guys that really found himself during high school. He filled out and actually looked good in glasses. He had more dates than I had and all the girls loved him. Boy, sometimes I was jealous! Today was one of those days.I could see that he was nervous about his speech. So, I smacked him on the back and said, 'Hey, big guy, you'll be great!' He looked at me with one of those looks (the really grateful one) and smiled. 'Thanks,' he said. As he started his speech, he cleared his throat, and began, 'Graduation is a time to thank those who helped you make it through those tough years. Your parents, your teachers, your siblings, maybe a coach... but mostly your friends... I am here to tell all of you that being a friend to someone is the best gift you can give them. I am going to tell you a story.' I just looked at my friend with disbelief as he told the story of the first day we met. He had planned to kill himself over the weekend. He talked of how he had cleaned out his locker so his Mom wouldn't have to do it later and was carrying his stuff home. He looked hard at me and gave me a little smile. 'Thankfully, I was saved. My friend saved me from doing the unspeakable.' I heard the gasp go through the crowd as this handsome, popular boy told us all about his weakest moment. I saw his Mom and dad looking at me and smiling that same grateful smile. Not until that moment did I realize it's depth. Never underestimate the power of your actions. With one small gesture you can change a person's life. For better or for worse. God puts us all in each others lives to impact one another in some way. Look for God in others. You now have two choices, you can :1) Put this on your profile or 2) Forget you read this and act like it didn't touch your heart. As you can see, I took choice number 1. 'Friends are angels who lift us to our feet when our wings have trouble remembering how to fly.' This is a story about God. Read if you believe in him, and read even if you don't. A teenage girl about 17 named Diane had gone to visit some friends one evening and time passed quickly as each shared their various experiences of the past year. She ended up staying longer than planned, and had to walk home alone. She wasn't afraid because it was a small town and she lived only a few blocks away. As she walked along under the tall elm trees, Diane asked God to keep her safe from harm and danger. When she reached the alley, which was a short cut to her house, she decided to take it. However, halfway down the alley she noticed a man standing at the end as though he were waiting for her. She became uneasy and began to pray, asking for God's protection. Instantly a comforting feeling of quietness and security wrapped round her, she felt as though someone was walking with her. When she reached the end of the alley, she walked right past the man and arrived home safely. The following day, she read in the newspaper that a young girl had been killed in the same alley just twenty minutes after she had been there. Feeling overwhelmed by this tragedy and the fact that it could have been her, she began to weep. Thanking the Lord for her safety and to help this young woman, she decided to go to the police station. She felt she could recognize the man, so she told them her story. The police asked her if she would be willing to look at a lineup to see if she could identify him. She agreed and immediately pointed out the man she had seen in the alley the night before. When the man was told he had been identified, he immediately broke down and confessed. The officer thanked Diane for her bravery and asked if there was anything they could do for her. She asked if they would ask the man one question. Diane was curious as to why he had not attacked her. When the policeman asked him, he answered, "Because she wasn't alone. She had two tall men walking on either side of her." Amazingly, whether you believe or not, you're never alone. Did you know that 98 of teenagers will not stand up for God, and 93 of the people that read this won’t repost it? Repost this if you truly belive in God. Footprints In the Sand: One night I dreamed I was walking along the beach with the Lord. Many scenes from my life flashed across the sky. In each scene I noticed footprints in the sand. Sometimes there were two sets of footprints, other times there were one set of footprints. This bothered me because I noticed that during the low periods of my life, when I was suffering from anguish, sorrow or defeat, I could see only one set of footprints. So I said to the Lord, “You promised me Lord, that if I followed you, you would walk with me always. But I have noticed that during the most trying periods of my life there have only been one set of footprints in the sand. Why, when I needed you most, you have not been there for me?” The Lord smiled and replied, “The times when you have seen only one set of footprints in the sand, is when I carried you.” A girl her boyfriend were speeding over 150kmp/h on a motorcycle Girl: Slow down, I'm scared! Guy: No, this is fun. Girl: No, it's not. Please, I'm scared. Guy: Then tell me you love me. Girl: I love you, now slow down! Guy: Now give me a big hug. She gives him a big hug Guy: Can you take off my helmet and put it on yourself, it's bothering me. In the newspaper the next day, a motorcycle had crashed into a building because of break failure. Two people were on it and only one survived. The truth was that halfway down the road, the guy realized his break wasn't working but he didn't want the girl to know. Instead he had her hug him and tell him one last time that she loved him. Then he had her put on his helmet so that she would live even if he died.

Jesus said, "If you deny me in front of your friends, I will deny Repost as COME TO MY PARTY! I was walking around in a Target store, when I saw a Cashier hand this little boy some money back. The boy couldn't have been more than 5 or 6 years old. The Cashier said, 'I'm sorry, but you don't have enough money to buy this doll.' Then the little boy turned to the old woman next to him: ''Granny, are you sure I don't have enough money?'' The old lady replied: ''You know that you don't have enough money to buy this doll, my dear.'' Then she asked him to stay there for just 5 minutes while she went to look a round. She left quickly. The little boy was still holding the doll in his hand. Finally, I walked toward him and I asked him who he wished to give this doll to. 'It's the doll that my sister loved most and wanted so much for Christmas. She was sure that Santa Claus would bring it to her.' I replied to him that maybe Santa Claus would bring it to her after all, and not to worry. But he replied to me sadly. 'No, Santa Claus can't bring it to her where she is now. I have to give the doll to my mommy so that she can give it to my sister when she goes there.' His eyes were so sad while saying this. 'My Sister has gone to be with God. Daddy says that Mommy is going to see God very soon too, so I thought that she could take the doll with her to give it to my sister.'' My heart nearly stopped. The little boy looked up at me and said: 'I told daddy to tell mommy not to go yet. I need her to wait until I come back from the mall.' Then he showed me a very nice photo of him where he was laughing. He then told me 'I want mommy to take my picture with her so she won't forget me.' 'I love my mommy and I wish she doesn't have to leave me, but daddy says that she has to go to be with my little sister.' Then he looked again at the doll with sad eyes, very quietly. I quickly reached for my wallet and said to the boy. 'Suppose we check 'OK' he said, 'I hope I do have enough.' I added some of my money to his with out him seeing and we started to count it. There was enough for the doll and even some spare money. The little boy said: 'Thank you God for giving me enough money!' Then he looked at me and added, 'I asked last night before I went to sleep for God to make sure I had enough money to buy this doll, so that mommy could give It to my sister. He heard me!'' 'I also wanted to have enough money to buy a white rose for my mommy, but I didn't dare to ask God for too much. But He gave me enough to buy the doll and a white rose.'' 'My mommy loves white roses.' A few minutes later, the old lady returned and I left with my basket. I finished my shopping in a totally different state from when I started. I couldn't get the little boy out of my mind. Then I remembered a local news paper article two days ago, which mentioned a drunk man in a truck, who hit a car occupied by a young woman and a little girl. The little girl died right away, and the mother was left in a critical state. The family had to decide whether to pull the plug on the life-sustaining machine, because the young woman would not be able to recover from the coma. Was this the family of the little boy? Two days after this encounter with the little boy, I read in the news paper that the young woman had passed away. I couldn't stop myself as I bought a bunch of white roses and I went to the funeral home where the body of the young woman was exposed for people to see and make last wishes before her burial. She was there, in her coffin, holding a beautiful white rose in her hand with the photo of the little boy and the doll placed over her chest. I left the place, teary-eyed, feeling that my life had been changed for ever. The love that the little boy had for his mother and his sister is still, to this day, hard to imagine. And in a fraction of a second, a drunk driver had taken all this away from him. Now you have 2 choices: 1) Repost this message, or I got these two posts from FanFreak01 This is a story about a white man and a black man. The white man said, "Colored people are not allowed here." The black man turned around and stood up. He then said: "Listen sir...when I was born I was BLACK, when I grew up I was BLACK. When I'm sick I'm BLACK. When I go in the sun I'm BLACK. When I'm sick I'm BLACK. When I'm cold I 'm Black. When I die I'll be BLACK. But you sir, when you're born you're PINK, When you grow up you're WHITE, When you're sick you're GREEN, When you go in the sun you turn RED, When you're cold you turn BLUE, And when you die you turn PURPLE. And you have the nerve to call me colored?" The black man then sat back down and the white man walked away...Post this on your profile if you hate racism.

COMMON SENSE Today we mourn the passing of a beloved old friend, Common Sense, who has been with us for many years. No one knows for sure how old he was, since his birth records were long ago lost in bureaucratic red tape. He will be remembered as having cultivated such valuable lessons as: Knowing when to come in out of the rain; why the early bird gets the worm; Life isn't always fair; and Maybe it was my fault. Common Sense lived by simple, sound financial policies (don't spend more than you can earn) and reliable strategies (adults, not children, are in charge). His health began to deteriorate rapidly when well-intentioned but overbearing regulations were set in place. Reports of a 6 year-old boy charged with sexual harassment for kissing a classmate; teens suspended from school for using mouthwash after lunch; and a teacher fired for reprimanding an unruly student, only worsened his condition. Common Sense declined even further when schools were required to get Parental consent to administer Calpol, sun lotion or a band-aid to a student; but could not inform parents when a student became pregnant and wanted to have an abortion. Common Sense lost the will to live as the Ten Commandments became contraband; churches became businesses; and criminals received better treatment than their victims. Common Sense took a beating when you couldn't defend yourself from a burglar in your own home and the burglar could sue you for assault. Common Sense finally gave up the will to live, after a woman failed to realize that a steaming cup of coffee was hot. She spilled a little in her lap, and was promptly awarded a huge settlement. Common Sense was preceded in death by his parents, Truth and Trust; his wife, Discretion; his daughter, Responsibility; and his son, Reason. He is survived by his 3 stepbrothers; I Know My Rights, Someone Else Is To Blame, and I'm A Victim. Not many attended his funeral because so few realized he was gone. If you still remember him, pass this on. If not, join the majority and do nothing. 0o0o0o0o0o0o0 -Month One- Mommy. I am only 8 inches long, but I have all my organs. I love the sound of your voice.
