Author has written 4 stories for Pirates of the Caribbean, Aladdin, and Hobbit. My penname on other fanworks sites: I love writing, but stories posted here are likely to be few and far between owing to time constraints and the fact that most of what I write is not polished enough or is otherwise unsuitable to post online. I try to make my work as good as I can before posting, since I feel that it's a waste of both my and my readers' time to publish stories that are not decent writing. Constructive criticism is always appreciated. I do incorporate reasonable suggestions and make necessary edits that are pointed out to me. I am also willing to return the favor for those who wish. See my beta profile for my strengths and weaknesses. The stories I write are mostly character-driven. I like to read/write stories that get more into the motivations, personality, and psyche of the characters than we may see in the canon, or that put a new twist on a character. For this reason, I seldom write OCs, and when I do, they are usually minor characters. I just like playing with the established characters more, especially their interactions with one another. For some reason, I really like AUs that take the same basic story and characters and put them in an entirely different genre. (Except for high school AUs. I had more than enough of high school while I was there, thank you very much.) I think these show the author's creativity by adapting elements and characters from the original to another setting. They're a lot of fun to read (and write). I have stories planned in the following fandoms. Which ones I work on and how long they take me are entirely dependent on my mood and motivation, as well as how busy I am in the real world. Aladdin Author's Notes for Stories: Blood Oath -- Pirates of the Caribbean Love, Elizabeth -- Pirates of the Caribbean Queen of Diamonds -- Aladdin The Western Hobbit -- The Hobbit The Old West is the Golden Age of U.S. history that has been elevated to legendary status more than any other. It's a period of history that shaped U.S. culture in ways that are seen to this day. The genre of the Western novel did not really begin, however, until this period of history was already over. Western novels and movies, therefore, do not so much reflect real life and events as they do what we imagine those events and people were like. They show us the legend, not the reality. Which, when you think about it, is kinda what Tolkien did with Middle Earth. So what if The Hobbit were a Western? This is essentially what I wanted to write. I will be following the plot of Tolkien's original book, but I will still be including certain elements from the movies. This story will be written as a Western, but Westerns are not the only type of stories that are important in American folklore. I'm also throwing in a lot of elements of tall tales. I even plan to include some elements from Native American and African American folklore as well. This story is set pre-Civil War in the mid-1800s, meaning that slavery is still legal. There will be no slash in this story, nor really any other kind of romance. The book had no romance, and this little project is only fun for me if I can make it recognizable as being based on Tolkien’s work. Likewise, there will be no Tauriel. She is a part of the movies that I personally really could have done without. I’m sorry for those of you who are disappointed by this, but my hope is that you find something else that you like about this story that makes it worth reading. |
