October: Sigh. One more month. Who the heck knew school will be my archnemesis? Who would have knew reading several chapters a night would stall my writing? ARGH. Maybe I should just slack off to get A Pair of Time done...

What's on my mind: As many of my great reviewers have expected, yes, I will confirm it with everybody. I am bent (more so than Bender on oil) on making two sequels to A Pair of Time. Partially because I want to set the road for the idea named by the famed Sapphira603 as "Malon goes with Link in Ocarina of Time." Another reason is that nobody exactly knows what happened to Link after the events of Majora's Mask, so I plan to fill in that gap (along with Malon, yep). The first sequel is the events of MM, so that's a easy given. The second is after, so it's completely based off of my imagination. I hope y'all like it!

A Thief's Story is a bit of a stretch, now... I plan to rewrite it completely in the far, distant future,and publish it under a new title. It got off with a bad start, so I need to start it all over.

Just Lon Lon Milk is to be done by midway next year. I have just too much to work, so... it's definitely on hiatus.

A Normal Knight is almost out of my reach on my 'to do' list. There's too many problems about the story that's giving me a stop sign.

You Make Me Shine is the to-be Nalon (Navi x Malon) fic I'm planning on submitting whenever I have complete time. I have a few chapters done, but not ready. I also need to 'study' shoujo ai to get myself a grasp on the concept of girls' love.

Game:

The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask; Don't ask me why I like this over Ocarina of Time. I just find emphasis on little Link, three days, and expansion of masks with items plain cool.

The Legend of Zelda: The Minish Cap; Shrinking, Ezlo instead of Navi or Tatl, and Kinstone sidequests are fun.

The Legend of Zelda: Wind Waker; I don't mind the Cel-shading. Combat is weird, but I love the level of difficulty the game puts you through.

Super Smash Bros Melee; Come on now, who doesn't? The most bashing, flying, smashing beat 'em up game ever. The defining uniqueness of Nintendo is a strike here!

Metroid Prime (every one of them); Redefines FPS using Nintendo's controllers and shooting aliens is fun.

Kirby; a pink, cute alien ball from the stars... that can suck up enemies, copy them, and whoop them in style. Not bad, is it?

Fire Emblem; A strategy RPG that makes others rise up as popular. One of the great games by Nintendo.

Seiken Densetsu 3; Action RPG that is considerably the best on SNES, mostly for unique battle system, eight elements for magic, good allies' AI, and a stringing nonlinear storyline.

Tales of Phantasia (and every one after it); Intricate storyline and immensive gameplay. Not to mention funny anime-like moments and graphics.

Final Fantasy I - IX; The soul of RPGs, the old Final Fantasy series are powerful in terms of characters, battle systems, and tons of other traditional features.

Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories; Clever RPG utilizing the revolutionary card system.

Harvest Moon; An RPG where you work as you play! Maintaining a farm is much harder, people, so don't give me that "It's too easy" stuff.

Call of Duty (every one of them); Simply the best FPS for me. I worship the raging intensity and the feeling of duty and comradeship in this game.

Medal of Honor (every one of them); Cliched the WWII FPS craved for myself.

Day of Defeat; WWII, in both multiplayer strategy and action. What could be better than that?

Red Orchestra: OSTfront 41-45; Same thing as Day of Defeat, but difficultly more realistic.

Hidden & Dangerous 2 (and Sabre Squadron); Best strategy FPS ever. I got hooked onto strategy WWII and other FPS by this golden game.

Brother in Arms (and the second one); Like Hidden & Dangerous, but more action.

Battlefield 2 (and Special Forces); Great game for tactical FPS in the rush of firefights.

Half-Life (every one of them); The greatest FPS in the history of gaming. Deep, dark plot; oppressive atmosphere; Mega powerful Steam engine in graphics, sounds, physics, and AI; problem-solving world; all wrapped in a FPS genre. (Moans...)

Books: The Iliad, The Odyssey, Edith Hamiliton's Mythology, The Thief, The Adventures of Merlin, The Chronicles of Narnia, All Quiet on the Western Front, The Road Back, The Three Comrades, and some more I can't remember because I reread them less.

Miscellaneous

Moral: Life sucks only when you don't do something about it.

Interests: Photography, the outdoors (especially Arkansas' forest), play a bit of chess or cards, being there for my friends, doing stuff with them and my best friend, and more. Especially cheese. I LIKE CHEESE.

A Thief's Story

Rated: T

Genre: Action/Adventure/Humor

Status: Discontinued until further notice. It's hard to write a story on a game that Square Enix wouldn't give a damn about... Un-proofread completely, so you will (or may, I haven't reread it yet) see some errors.

Summary: Seiken Densetsu 3. A what if sequel for the trio Hawk, Carlie, and Lise. The Dark Prince is gone, but a new evil arises. All because of balance. There are things as too much good and/or too much evil.

Hawk's gotta beef with the captain of the new renegade group of pirates, Lise is about to ascend as queen, and Carlie is still that little innocent girl as before.

But what happens when Hawk stumbles onto a girl who has a connection to this new threat? Even more strange, the evil and the girl may not be of the world of Mana...

Chapter 10: Our heroes are off to find Jinn. But, what happens to Lise? Is she going to make it through her life-threatening condition? Thank goodness Hawk has the heart to sleep outside her room.

A Pair of Time

Rated: T

Genre: Romance/Action/Adventure

Status: Proofreading and publishing DELAYED. Sorry! This year, I decided to push myself to the limit in school, and because of that "double-edged sword" move, I only have 30 minutes to an hour of freetime to myself at night. Well, ya know, people, education breeds writing abilities...

Finished, but not completely published. Tweaking on time between updates, maybe extending the void after an update. Possibly less chapters per update.

Summary: The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time. A novelization, but has a choking twist. What if Malon travels with Link? Things then will become a bit interesting. The works of traveling and time traveling, action and adventure, childhood to adulthood romance, the loneliness, the meaning of friendship, all that stuff when a young boy is accompanied by a young girl.

Written with Link talking. Active sentences (direct object of dialogue only) and present tense style for 'in the moment' action.

It has been brought to my attention that even with the Rating charts, children can read whatever they like. I have bestowed Ch. 28, 32, & 53 as Rated M (officially, I think). Therefore, I do not hold responsiblity nor liability if any children underage read those three chapters. If you so desire to make sure they don't read it, you do something about it. I mean, even IF I rated this story Rated M instead of limiting it to three chapters, that still doesn't stop the children from reading it (Where's the protection lock? Why hasn't FanFiction.net bother to do so? Do they not care for the children?). YOU have to do something. I'm just stuck somewhere out of your reach.

Chapter 68 to 69: So, anyway, why do the evilest of evil always give you "uniformed of the past" trials/obstacles before meeting with them...? The redhead sure won't get an answer if she just won't ask, but her guardian angel decides to help her see the truth.

A Normal Knight

Rated: M

Genre: Angst/Action/Adventure

Status: Complete hiatus. Subjected to revision and continuity will be far uncertain.

Summary: The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time. What if Link wasn’t the hero of Hyrule? What if Link was just some normal person like Malon and becomes drafted into the war? He's a just a peasant, forced into the war. Idea similiar to Yuri, a Russian conscript in Call of Duty: United Offensive, writing war letters to his love, Natasha.

Some moments and themes may be modeled after the first Call of Duty (and United Offensive), and Medal of Honor: Pacific Assault. Credits to them.

Link's war letter to Malon in the beginning, Link's 'day' in the middle, and, if the plot warrants, thoughts by Malon in the ending. Present tense for ease of writing (until further notice).

The setting is altered. This war that’s going on is the war between Ganondorf and Hyrule, during the events of the Ocarina of Time. Now, don’t rush into anything yet, because I’m going to be altering history a bit. Everybody should know that after the Hero of Time pulled out the Master Sword, Ganondorf conquered Hyrule easily. My alteration shows that, he has not done so. The war that’s going on takes seven years, exactly like the reign of Ganondorf. But remember, I altered it so that the seven years are of war, not of Ganondorf’s reign. Hyrule is at war with Ganondorf, okay? And Link’s going to be in it from the first year to the last. He’s seventeen, if you don’t mind, so he’ll be twenty-four when the war is over. Oh, a nd to make more clear, Link and Malon are two lovers since childhood, who were working on the same ranch, Lon Lon Ranch, who a re separated by this war, and yada yada yada, there, okay?

Malon is chosen for the lover, as none of the other female characters share the ‘personality of a waiting love at home’ like she does. If you watch all those war movies, you would understand. Also, this is the reason why I sorted this story as a ‘Malon’ and ‘Link’ filter. It had too much Malon in it to be ‘Link’ and any other characters.

Before anybody asks questions here… Take a deep breath, everybody… NO. The character Zid here in this story is NOT me. His personality and physical description is NOT mine, either. I have black hair, a fit body, and I will not explain about my manhood. There, okay? Does everybody get the idea?

If not, let me restate it. ZID, IN THIS STORY, IS NOT ME! IF YOU DON’T GET IT, I WILL COME AFTER YOU!

The name Zid, well, I couldn’t think of a Zelda name that is good enough to remember as a main character, so I used my penname. There, see? Y’all got it?

Plot is after the game franchises I mentioned above. Combined training during the Middle Ages (well, I THIN K it’s the Middle Ages), with some aspect of today’s training (or WWII. I don’t know, WWII’s training is unique). A lot of patrio tism is going to be displayed here (very, very close to communism when I read it twice).

For the calender... If anybody’s confused about the date on the letter, I’m using the Harvest Moon’s calendar system. To me, it makes much more sense than months. I mean, the Romans chose the name for the months. Combining our history with the game is not a good mix. Oh, and each season will contain 91 days, with the exception of Spring, having 92 days. Got it? Okay… Whew!

I like to thank those who made the games I mentioned above. I also like to thank (or honor) the author of All Quiet on the Western Front. I can’t spell his name correctly. But, his novel, well, his novel is one of my favorite books. If any of you ever have the chance, read it.

Chapter 7: Our soldiers get their mission. But they realized it could take a couple of years to complete. Better start right now, don't they?

Just Lon Lon Milk

Rated: K+

Genre: Romance

Status: On hiatus to focus on main story, offline things, etc. May see an update at random times.

Summary: The Legend of Zelda: The Minish Cap. The first (I think) Minish Cap fanfic based on the romance of Malon and Link. Another 'what if.' Well, you know Malon is a very minor character of The Legend of Zelda: The Minish Cap. So, I thought I'd stir it up and make her as important as the Ocarina of Time fics. For Malon, she has everything she would ever need, and never takes her limited happiness for granted. But, sometimes, a little hope might go on to be true, and she would cherish it for her life.

Written with Link talking. Active sentences (direct object of dialogue only) and present tense style for 'in the moment' action.

Chapter 9: How long will you wait for that person who makes you happy to the deepest feelings? How long would you... even when you could die to see that person once more?

A Simple Osculation

Rated: K+

Genre: Romance/Humor

Status: Since it's a short story consisted of one chapter, finished.

Summary: The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time; The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask. I was VERY bored at one time, so I wrote this to stem some fun. It's a post-OoT/MM fic of how young Malon would have her first kiss. The background of the story will have details not related or found in the game(s), so do not think I wasn't thinking properly. I put in these strange details to construct a ground of something that we know of. Don't freak out about it.

Zelda's Christmas party is soon, and Malon already is excited about going. During one day, Link comes back from a journey of Hyrule's foreign affairs at the right time before the fete begins. After helping her out on a simple task and spending time with her in the snow, he is invited to stay at her house until the party tomorrow. Question is, will he be ready for his friend whose thoughts about him are much closer than he expected?

Personal Notes

I'm keeping a few eyes on some authors because one of each of their stories is being influenced by my main one. They have my best of wishes upon writing their fanfictions down.

Normally, you don't see much of my reviews around. Another thing if you paid attention is that I have no favorite authors, stories, or C2 communities. That's because I think everybody can write a good story, and so what's the point in filling up on favorites if I know everybody's fanfics are good in their own way? I read every type of fanfic imaginable, and each and every one of them was, least to say, fair to good. My definition of a bad fanfic is a story that absolutely makes no sense, and I very rarely come across those. Another type of bad fanfic that I never like is a story where no heart or effort was put into it by the author. Any story where you feel so devoted to writing it is bound to be a great one, especially in my book.

So far I haven't come across one that disproven the reason. I know, most of you will say, "Well, you're a crappy reader, then. It's obvious that half of the stories you've read is as bad as dirt." Well, that's from your point of view. Everybody has a different point of view, especially here. There are more than others, but still, there are different types. My POV is I like the story. If your POV says it's a load of bull, so be it.

Isn't publishing a story a reason to promote individualism? Sure, the one you've recently read may be bad to you, but it means a lot to the author, because he or she is expressing his or herself through this fanfic. Plots that I've read are all unique in their own way, and I get fascinated by them, for they convey the writer's thoughts and soul. Each story is great, because I'm an open person. I'm not trying to persuade anyone to be open like me, but I do wish to ask that you may want to keep frank in reading stories, especially new ones. You might be surprised and see things my way.

Reviews: I don't review much like other people because, again, I believe every story is good, except those bad types I mentioned. So, my reviews will be nothing more than encouragement to finish a story, but I feel they know they have my support, unless they don't even know I'm supporting them. That's why I don't review much. However, if you would like, you could ask me to review your story(s), or anybody's, and I'll be more than happy to.

My feedbacks are encouragement, and I will only criticize when you want me to. Normally, my reviews are like that, except in case where I might get confused, or there are spelling or grammer problems. If those happen, I'll ask you to clear me up. For spelling and grammer, I'll give places where the problem is, show you what spelling error you have, and also show you the correct grammer in sentences. Now, you may think, "EVERY little thing?" No, because every author makes a mistake once in a while. However, if the error(s) is either persistent or evident, I will probe it and present to you what's wrong.

Other than that, I won't say anything much about the plot, unless it's really difficult to follow. Plot is the writer's thoughts, and what they want to do with their plot is theirs. Anybody can provide a feedback on the change of a plot, just like anybody can provide a feedback to change one's thoughts. However, it's the writer's plot, it's the writer's thoughts, and I respect them. I don't try to change it to suit my interest of reading, nor change it to give me more detailed writing or deeper meaning. Again, it's theirs, and I value individualism, so I really like stories where the plot is fresh from the author's mind and unique according to the writer him or herself. But if a writer wants constructive criticism from readers to see if they like their plot and see if it needs any changing, that's okay with me. Remember, it's theirs, not mine. What they do with their story is their business. You don't have to listen to me and say "Well, okay, my story is fine then." I'm not trying to persuade people, I'm just stating what I do and what I believe when it comes to writing and reviewing on this site.

Authors: Just like every story is good in my vision, so is every author that writes them. If you need a better reason, read my review section above.

Stories: Do I REALLY need to elucidate any more than I need to? If so, read my review section above.

C2 Communities: Unique. But again, any story is great. Doesn't mean that you should listen to me and not subscribe to any or even unsubscribe.

If you have any questions, comments, suggestions, etc., email me or PM, okay? It gets the job done faster and easier that way.

Later. Peace out.
