Basic Author Profile

Name: Dearing (Aren’t I imaginative in the Pen Name Department?)

Age: Thirty-Something

Primarily a Writer of: Science Fiction, usually involving some from of piloted robotic suit of the Real Robot kind. I dabble in fantasy occasionally, but I don't publish those very often. I've also taken a recent interest in Steampunk and Gaslamp Fantasy.

Random Stuff About Me: I'm a British born, so I use British spelling. I love to write and read, as well as play games in my spare time. I'm a fan of Japanese anime, especially of the Real Robot variant (eg Gundam or Code Geass). Not Hentai though, because that stuff's can go to some strange places. I also have a fairly big interest in science fiction and the future in general, and a mad love for Romantic subplots! This shows up a lot in my writing, and I hope to publish one of my many unfinished novels in the future. My grammar’s a little shaky, even though I use Grammerly (free version, don't judge) so if you read my old stuff, don't be surprised if it's full of errors I missed. I do enjoy shipping as much as the next fanfic writer, but I have a tendency to sit on the fence during shipping wars (eg Avatar's Kataang Vs. Zutara). This is mostly due to the fact the pairings I like are very rarely canon, and at the end of the day it's just a tv show/cartoon/anime/book so it's not that big a deal to me.

My Policy on Flaming: Constructive Criticism I approve of, but flaming is just a pathetic waste of everyone’s time. Besides, if you really think my work is that bad, why on earth did you even read past the first few lines?

My Policy on Requests and Collaborations: Recently I've received several Pms regarding the prospect of doing requests or collaborating on a story together. While I am flattered that people would want me to write a story for them or write one with them, at present I cannot take on any new stories outside of my own work. This is due to two major reasons. The first is that I currently have very little time to work on my stories. I'm working, on Employment and Support Allowance and what time I set aside for writing I want to use for my own works (which for one reason or another is becoming a chore in itself.). The second reason is I actually have problems writing up works that are not my own ideas. This isn't to say that I can't do it, but I feel that (at least at present) every time I try, the work feels forced and unnatural. With that said, I am always willing to listen to other people's ideas, and can give feedback on them if you want to PM them to me.

Incomplete Story Status

Name: A.V.A.T.A.R.: Hunt for the Courier
Category: Avatar: The Last Airbender
Status: Cancelled
Notes: I am sad to say this story was gong nowhere fast. I read through what I've written and I just cringe, even the stuff from Last of the Black Core (Which I realise now should have been Black Corp). It is in desperate need of a rewrite and time and effort which I just can't put into it at the moment. Like Legends of Arcadian Skies, I would like to finish what I started, but I just don't see it happening any time soon. I have uploaded a summery of how it would have ended however, in an attempt to give it some kind of closure.

Name: Legends of Arcadian Skies
Category: Skies of Arcadia
Status: Cancelled
Notes: I've already written down the reasons for this being discontinued for the moment in a Author's letter at the end of the fic itself. In short though the reasons for putting it on hiatus were the massive rewrite I would have to put it through and a general lack of interest. Perhaps one day I might actually come back to it, but I just don't know at the moment.

Name: Mobile Suit Gundam Seed: ZAFT's Archangel
Category: Gundam Seed
Status: Cancelled
Notes: Although not because I've lost interest, merely because I want to rewrite this fic as an original story, set in my own universe. While I followed the original plot fairly closely so far, I feel that my ideas beyond Phase 10 actually diverge enough to make a decent original story. It's my intention therefore to recycle what I've written into this original novel, but that's still a long way off. If nothing comes from it, I may come back to ZAFT's Archangel and finish it anyway, but for now this is my plan when it comes to this fic. I'm sorry to disappoint anyone who was looking forward to the next chapter.

Name: The Matter of Choice
Category: Avatar: The Last Airbender
Status: Complete
Notes: A lot of people keep asking me when or if I'm going to update this fic, but to be honest I feel as though the current ending is good enough. The main reason is the more I read over this fic, the more I think it's got a good enough ending as is. Most loose ends have been tied up, Aang gets the girl and everybody wins...except the Fire Nation, but at least they lose gracefully. I just don't really know how I could finish it any better short of having a big sappy where-are-they-now sort of epilogue. If inspiration hits me one day for something more then that, then I'll write it up and upload it, but it has been years now, and I don't want to disappoint any readers that have been waiting that long.

Name: Shower
Category: Gundam 00
Status: Complete...sort of
Notes: This is one of my more successful oneshot-turned-short-stories, but it was designed in such a way that it never really needed a grand finale. Progress was slow, mostly because I feel the chapters I've written are a bit samey, and I doubt I'll add any more to it now. Once Dragonoid is complete I may have another look at this story and see if any more can be done with it. No promises though.

Demo Stories

This is an idea I had to try and suss out which stories people actually want to read. The fact of the matter is I have several novel-sized stories in the works, and I don't really want to write a doorstopper like Star Trek: Infinite Ryvius only for no one to actually want to read it.
Which is why I came up with these demo stories I've currently got in the works.
Basically, like most demos the gaming world churns out these days, each Demo Story will consist of the first few chapters of a prospective story and no more. If people like the story, then I'll focus my attention on it, write it out completely and upload it in weekly installments.

UPDATE: I am not currently working on any of these stories. I'm not joking when I say I tried to work on all of them at the same time and I suffered a burn-out for my troubles. At this point, I've just lost interest in them beyond the occasional nostalgia reading. If time becomes less harsh, I may try and work on these again some day, but right now I'm sad to say it's just not happening.

Name: The Industrial Effect
Category: Mass Effect
Status: Demo Chapters Prologue and 1 complete. Chapter 2 nearing completion. Chapter 3 in planning stage.
Summery: A blend of post-apocalypse, steampunk and gaslamp fantasy with a hint of cyperpunk attatched the post-apocalypse bits. The Industrial Effect takes place on the Broken Earth, our world ravaged by a cataclysm known as the Day of Blood. In the uncounted years since the disaster, the human race has become devided and changed into new species. Of these resurging civilisations, the Newmans of Bretonia are the latest to return to the international stage. But when the Newman colony of Eden Prime comes under attack from an unknown force, Commander Jonathan Shepard and the crew of the airship HMS Normandian find themselves caught up in unraveling the mystery that has plagued the Broken Earth since Humanity's successors began to grow again.

Name: Pokémon Advanced Colosseum
Category: Pokémon
Status: First chapter outline completed, pending write-up
Summery: Two stories collide in this inter-universe crossover. Wes and May are thrown together in this remake that fuses elements of Colosseum, XD and Pokémon Ruby/Saphire/Emerald into one new story.

Name: Ace Attorney: Marcus Wayneright
Category: Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney
Status: Unknown
Summery: An alternate universe story that begins in the year 2015 (The year before the first game), the story follows Marcus Wayneright, a moderately successful defence attorney with an Edgeworth-like personality who believes any case is winnable as long as the party is innocent. The story would currently include four cases (One based on a Manga, two originals and one based on Rise from the Ashes. This fic would be based in the universe of the GBA games, as in Phoenix didn't take that case because it happened a year earlier.) Right now the status of this demo is up in the air because I don't know whether or not to write it up as a novel, visual novel, webcomic or full blown web series. Main characters would include Marcus Wayneright, Ema Skye and Bruce Goodman.
