A casual "writer" with a plethora of ideas but no motivation to write. Updates on stories will be super sporadic and unpredictable, so go in expecting the update schedule of a lazy bum, because that is exactly what you will receive.

Even if I don't write, though, I'm almost always up for doing some beta work (depending on how much uni wants to kick me up the ass), so hit me up. (Self-promotion ftw!)

As with other writers, reviews are my lifeblood and really motivate me, more than you would know. So if you happen to have the time after reading my fic, giving a review would be super appreciated. It doesn't matter how long or short it is, all are greatly appreciated.

P.S. Do not read my Naruto fanfic 'Who We Are'. Don't do that to yourself. It's garbage and will scar you like it did me. The only reason I still have it on here is to remind me to never go back to that level. Also for archival purposes.

UPDATES/Author's Notes

22/08/2020: Chapter 4 of Taken by the River completed and posted. A new chapter only a couple of months after the previous one? What is this, progress? I may or may not have written the latter half of this chapter instead of doing what I need to do, which is learning 5 weeks worth of content for the 2 mid-term tests I have next week. But it's fine. I've still got like 3 days to learn everything, that'll be plenty of time...

04/06/2020: So a year after I said I would write more chaps for Taken by the River, I finally finish the next chapter. Why am I like this? Hope you enjoy the chapter. Not much happens in it, I'll be completely honest. But I feel it was necessary as set up for some future stuff, and also to give Erin time to grieve after being shoved into a wholly unexpected, sucky situation. Actually, I feel like Erin is gonna be grieving a lot in this story. I hadn't intended for that to happen, but I'm just tryna be real with y'all with how a real person with her personality would react. The pace will still be relatively chill for the next few chapters before the canon shit hits, but some fun prep stuff will be happening before then. And can I just say that I bloody love Malru?! Because I do! I know I literally created her, but I feel like she's her own person who just sorta took over and was like 'this is what imma do, kay?' and I said yes ma'am. I love her so much. Also, I hope everyone is staying safe in these crazy times. Really wasn't expecting 2020 to go like this, but here we are. Hopefully we will come out of this year better as a species, and our individual countries bettered in some way. It's wishful thinking, but you gotta remain hopeful when everything sucks as much as it does right now.

09/12/2019: loooooooool who was sheeeeee X'D What a lie that turned out to be, huh? Told you I'm a lazy bum. I also really got into a groove of reading Naruto OC fics and went down that deep rabbit hole until now. Really makes me want to write my own (a far better version than my previous attempt *voms*). I literally have like 3 or 4 separate stories I want to write but have no idea wtf I want to do with them. I just need more stories about baby Naruto and Gaara being cared for by AN ADULT and being raised WITH LOVE. And then, you know, gotta occasionally love a classic Mary Sue who befriends everyone and saves everyone with little consequences just for the light-hearted happy feels and the self-satisfying aspect of experiencing the life of a kick-ass super powerful ninja. Bit of a guilty pleasure of mine. And then there's that final darker story I want to write where the character tries to save people and does! But also gets royally fucked about because of it and causes others to die instead. I know some of y'all super feel me on this if you like OC/SI inserts. This isn't really an update message at this point, more of a rant, but eh whatever. Hopefully the new chapter will be out soon? I'm really struggling cos this story hasn't gotten onto the exciting rails I have set out for it yet, just pattering about with some everyday, non-exciting stuff, but it's important for the set up and the future so I have to write it. But I just want her to meet and huggle the boys alreadyyyy~ Haaah, the struggles of an author. I really need to get a few more chapters into this so it's really going, and then so I can start on a naruto story where one of the babs gets taken care of without it affecting my motivation to work on this story. Legit, I know no one is gonna read this, but I don't give a crap. Here's ma feelings, laid bare. Cos stuff it, ya know?

06/06/2019: Uni term is finished so I'm now free for a month! Will be using this time to write some more chappies for Taken by the River. Should probably be releasing a new one within the next week or two as the plans have been laid for the coming chapter. Also, I had a wave of inspiration and the story has now gone from being a bit more lighthearted to a bit more depressing, which is great. I love making myself and others want to rip their hearts out.

Random thoughts:

Does anyone else just SCREAM INTERNALLY whenever they listen to Human by Christina Perri because of that one HxH AMV? Cos I do. And I almost cry every time. Same with King by Lauren Aquilina because of that Hotarubi no Mori e AMV.

Do you ever just get on such a roll with working out story details that you neglect writing the actual chapters? And also get sad because the plans you're super excited for are in like 20 chapters time?

BASIC INFO

Pen name: LadyElithien (just call me Eli though)
Gender: Female
Level: 21
Writer? Yes! (I say and then never write anything ever *finger guns out of the building*)
Beta? Yes! While I don't write much, I'm always open for doing new beta work. Just send me a message if you're interested.

Currently a beta for: Nothing!

Fact you didn't need to know about me: I'm a ho for an m-dash. God I love me a good m-dash.

Things to note:

1. Don't expect regular updates. How often I update depends on my mood, and my mood goes in every which way in the matter of a few seconds. It also depends on my current health and how much uni wants to fuck me in the anus at that point in time. So yeah, I update sporadically.
2. Most of the fanfiction I write is gonna be OC/self-insert. I love fanfics with OCs in them and I love self inserts even more – you know, the ones where they get transported to the fictional universe – so those will be the main kind of stories I'll write. Yes I'm a basic bitch, I know. I don't care. I love what I love mate.
3. Summaries are not my strong point. Don't expect some fabulous summary. They will most likely just be of average (if not bad) quality. I have enough trouble trying to write them so that you have enough information to know what the story is about, without ruining the entire damn story for you. I'm bad at being informative but concise and to the point. My teachers can vouch for that.

My fanfics:

Taken by the River (Hunter x Hunter):

She may have always wanted this, but she really didn't want this. Erin Haynes was perfectly (relatively) satisfied with her life, kept happy by her family and hobbies. Now they were no longer there to support her. Yet strangely, one thing that made her happy was, but not in a way she would have ever imagined. She was in the Hunter x Hunter world. She knew she was screwed.

A fic about an OC (Erin Haynes) who gets transported to the Hunter x Hunter world (how original, I know) and how she tries to get through life in this new place, really hoping everything is truly just a dream. The first 5 chapters or so will be a bit of a slow build up, not getting into canon material until after that. This is to build up the character a bit, and also show that I'm invested in developing an individual, unique story for her, not just inserting her into the canon story and having her react.

Discontinued fanfic:

Who We Are (Naruto):

They were orphans, they were different and they were crazy. What happens when three girls from the human world are sent to the Naruto world to find their true selves? Will they be able to face their fears and trust the unknown? Or will they back out and go back to their previous lives? Follow the adventures of Elithien, Seraphina and Phoenix as they look for who they really are. DISCONTINUED

This story is cringe and trash. I did not plan anything for it or have any ideas beyond "I wanna be in Naruto," and it was just a whole big weeb, Mary-Sue, cliche cringe SIOC mess. Don't subject yourself to this nonsense. This fanfic sucked balls.

WRITER'S RECOMMENDATION: DO NOT READ.

Projects currently in the works:

Flesh and Blood (Tokyo Ghoul):

She was a happy young girl before. She had family, friends, a life. Now she is no more. She's lost her memories. She's lost her body. She's lost herself. Kanou experimented on her in an attempt to create an artificial ghoul, but like all his other attempts, she was a failure. Her flesh and blood now isn't only her own, having consumed and combined with the bodies of countless other failures becoming a blob, living her life in a containment tube. However, one day she is miraculously freed and able to escape. Was exiting into the outside world truly a miracle, though?

I got inspired to create this story after reading Tokyo Ghoul and seeing the failed experiments in Kanou's lab that attacked Kaneki. I've been working out the specifics for this story and I can feel it in my bones that people are gonna hate me. My best friend already hates me for what I'm doing with this story, and herself as well, because she's given me ideas which she didn't think through before voicing (which she regrets deeply) and I loved them and how depressing they are, so I'm running with them.

Fanfic ideas:

Just me (OHSHC):

An OC insert fanfic about a girl named Matsuo Michiyo, who is just starting her first year in high school at Ouran. Her family owns their own clothing stores and brand, both of which are named "Matsuo Designs", so they earn enough money to be considered rich. However, when compared to everyone else who attends Ouran, she's bottom ranks. Probably one of the poorest people attending the school (aside from Haruhi). Not that she minds. She doesn't want to be rich, due to her hate for all rich people. She's average at all subjects, except art, which she is really passionate about, and she will be drawing at any free chance she gets, helping design clothes for her family's business sometimes. And even though she may have no friends, it's nice. Quiet. Peaceful. Her school life is just fine. That is, until she runs into Haruhi again. And now, her life is loud and annoying and...excuse me a moment...WOULD YOU JUST SHUT UP TAMAKI?!

So, I've already written 2 1/2 chapters for it, but that was a while ago. And looking back on the chapters now, I think I'm gonna rewrite the first half of the first chapter (cos I did that thing that I did with Who We Are where I essentially gave you her life's story at the very beginning of the first chapter). Whether or not there is romance, I'm not sure yet (however, if there is, it'll probably be between Haruhi and Tamaki, and my OC and Mori). Exactly where the story is going, I'm also not sure. I'm probably going to make it follow most of the canon storyline, but then again, there will be my own story line that the story will be following, so yeah. And as I like to know pretty much all the key plot points of the entire story I'm planning to write before actually writing it, I'll be consulting with my confidante before doing any more on this story. Also, the title might change, but I'm keeping it as is for now, because that was my immediate first thought for a story title when I got the idea for this story, so I'm sort of attached to it.

1/2 Prince:

I've worked on the main character's abilities, skills, weapons, in-game character and personality, but I haven't decided on a storyline yet. It is most likely going to be after the story of 1/2 Prince is finished, so there will probably not be any canon characters in the story. There still might be, though. So the main character is a girl - age and looks IRL unconfirmed - who plays a VRMMORPG game (whether the game is Second Life or not is yet to be decided) and decides that she doesn't want to play for fame or glory, but rather so she can kill. Thus, she decides to be a mercenary and assassin. Other details, currently undecided.
