I'm a nerd who grew up in a nerd family (and still lives with them :/).

I don't like it when writing isn't finished--and I tend to filter results for Complete, so I can avoid heartbreak--so I won't do that to anyone here. I'll post fanfics, a chapter at a time, of pieces that have at least a complete first draft. Constructive criticism is welcome and appreciated. I especially will want to know about how well I keep characters in-character, how well I develop the characters, if I made any unintentional grammatical errors (learning the majority of your writing skill by reading has its drawbacks), and how well I pace the plot. Let me know if there are boring or unnecessary sections, or if there's extra fluff (not talking romance exclusively) that you like but is unnecessary; if it's the latter, I can cut it out and post it as a one-shot or something. So, please, don't be afraid to tell me where to cut the fat. I shouldn't have many spelling errors because my spelling is pretty good and I run spellcheck before submitting any writing, but sometimes things slip out. Please point out errors to me so I can fix them. I enjoy writing fanfics and my own original stories, and I'm hoping to publish one day, so I'm really hoping to grow in this community. :)

I'm most likely to write fanfiction for: Superior Defenders Gundam Force (not a "serious" Gundam series. It has trouble figuring out the target audience, but it's got many great moments, solid world-building, and plenty of epicness, especially in the second season), Pokemon (anime up to Hoenn or games), and Mega Man (have dabbled in classic, X, Zero, and MMBN). NiGHTS is my favorite series, but it requires certain inspiration to really go well, so I don't write fics on it, much. I keep most fanfics out of the sphere of novels. Not sure why.

My favorite couples are: Ciel x Zero (Mega Man Zero), Lan x Maylu/MegaMan.EXE x Roll.EXE (Mega Man Battle Network), Wes x Rui (Pokemon Colosseum), Ash x Misty (Pokemon anime), Red x Yellow (Pokemon Adventure manga), TK x Kari (Digimon), Link x Zelda (in most Legend of Zelda games), Link x Ilia (Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess), Kyoko x Ren/Kuon (Skip Beat), Kenshin x Kaoru (Rurouni Kenshin), Hitomi x Van (Escaflowne), Garrod x Tiffa (After War Gundam X), Metabee x Brass (Medabots), Blakbeetle x Roks (Medabots). I tend to like canon pairings, or at least strongly-hinted-in-the-canon pairings (like Zero/Ciel and Wes/Rui).

These lists aren't necessarily in order of most to least favorite, and they're probably not complete, yet. I'm sure there are items I'm forgetting that I'll add later.

Just so you know, I can include some dark content, but I will never do lemons/smut, swearing will be at a minimum, and violence and gore will not be gratuitous. I'll post appropriate warnings when needed, but my ratings I expect will be from K-T. I won't blindside you or trick you. You will know before you start reading exactly what you'll get.

Currently Writing/Posting:

Little Wing:

SD Gundam Force. The Gundam Force finds a female Gundam from Lacroa at the tail end of a battle with the Dark Axis. After learning that she's lived in Neotopia for as long as she can remember and that she's searching for answers about where she comes from, Zero eagerly takes her under his wing. How did the Gundamess get to Neotopia, and what will she do once she finds all her answers? Romance fic that aims to fit the overall feel of the show while putting a few twists on things. Very OC-heavy, but the OCs are introduced slowly, each with their own distinct purpose and background. I wrote this fic years ago, starting in 2009 and ending in about 2011, but I only just now decided it was time to post it online. I'm rewriting, cutting, and adding to it as I go. It will progress through to the end of the SD Gundam Force show. Expect it to be very long. I try to balance the sap, but there are lots of cute moments :) Updated about once a month. Chapter 24 is posted!

Not Part of the Deal (Tentative Title):

Pokemon Colosseum. Wes and his traveling companions are in Phenac City, planning to depart for their final stand against Cipher, when they're ambushed by a Snag'Em member. Rui takes a hit for Wes and lands herself in the hospital. Wes grapples with this event as he tries to decide if he should take Rui to Realgam Tower--or leave her before she can get hurt, again. Subtle-ish romance fic, because there's not enough Wes and Rui out there, and most of the good ones are never finished! I've finished a complete first draft. Still in the editing process.

SD Gundam Force Drabbles:

SD Gundam Force. Multi-chapter collection of drabbles and one-shots. Sometimes, i get inspired. Not all of these will align with my Little Wing fic, and I won't guarantee that they will all align with canon. However, each of them will either entertain or explore characters.

Finished:

Her True Agenda:

Guild Wars 2. Scarlet, after a killing spree, muses over her motivations. Players before the Living Story 2 updates complained that Scarlet was a shallow copy of the Batman villain Harley Quinn without any clear motivation, so I took on a personal challenge to give her an interesting motiation. One-shot, doesn't conform to the updated canon since Living Story 2. I felt proud of myself at the time for the atmosphere I set up, but you can let me know if it's really anything to brag about ;)

White Wings:

Vision of Escaflowne. This is my take on what happens after the ending. I was inspired after finishing the series the first time: I found the ending a little contrived and out-of-character. Whatever happened to "I'll never let you go, again"? Van/Hitomi, short (less than 1,000 words) One-shot.

Free:

NiGHTS. NiGHTS tells a story about a strange encounter with a dreamer while he/she was still on the side of nightmares. One-shot. I found this piece from years ago, and I thought I'd spruce it up and post it, because it's interesting. Free is different from many other fanfics of mine in that it is based off of a dream that I had years ago, and it's in first-person point of view. My unconscious brain basically gave its own take on pre-NiD NiGHTS and what finally severed his/her ties with Wizeman.

Tricks:

SD Gundam Force. Halloween fic. Shute and Captain have been body-switched by a magical accident caused by the inexperience of Zero's young protege Aleda, and Grappler Gouf has taken Captain and others hostage at an abandoned theme park. Shute is chasing Grappler in order to interrogate him for the hostages' location, but he's led into a haunted house attraction. This is a fun little piece that I originally was going to include in Little Wing Chapter 20 until I started having to cut things. One-shot/drabble/blurb/whatever-you-wanna-call-it. Happy Halloween!

Gratitude:

Medabots. Blakbeetle and Metabee fight over a new part. Kam and Ikki can't seem to break it up, so someone else has to come to the rescue--someone who Blakbeetle has become very partial to. Post-series. One-shot. Subtle-ish Blakbeetle/Roks. I was surprisingly inspired after seeing episode 84 (dub).

Under the Mistletoe:

SD Gundam Force. The Gundam Force spies mistletoe hung in a hallway, and Shute takes a moment to explain its tradition. What follows is a moment of awkwardness, cuteness, and hilarity concerning an overprotective Knight Gundam, a flirty Neotopian, flier, and a Lacroan Gundamess. One-shot. Zero/OC.

Movie Night:

SD Gundam Force. The Dark Axis hasn't attacked in several days, and Guneagle is feeling restless. What can satisfy his craving for action? A piece I pulled from the first draft of Little Wing because it was extraneous to the plot. Fluff, romance, and humor. Also contains a few characters that normally don't appear much in my main SDGF fic. One-shot.

Future Fics:

Remembrance (Tentative Title):

Medabots. Henry always feels a little nostalgic watching Ikki and Metabee. One day, he lets Arcbeetle in on his thoughts. One-shot.

Angel (Tentative Title):

SD Gundam Force. Multi-chapter prequel fic to Little Wing. This story is some pre-show background that follows other Royal Knights besides Zero. I'll start seriously editing it and preparing it to post once I reach a certain point in Little Wing.

Medabots: Invasion (Tentative Title):

Medabots. AU. Multi-chapter. Ikki and Metabee defeated the Rubberobo Gang, but there are repercussions to what happened at the WRC. People are becoming increasingly suspicious of their Medabots, which causes some to turn in their partners for Kilobots, robots that don't have the embedded memories that can trigger the Ten Days of Darkness. Ikki worries that Metabee sometimes seems like he's in another world--or like he's another person. In the shadows, the Phantom Renegade, Rokusho, and Dr. Aki fight against a new enemy. How are the Kilobots connected to their new foe? And will Ikki and Metabee be up to joining the fight? This is an alternate version of Medabots Spirits that I want to create in order to see what could have been. Basically, my task is to 1. make it tie into the first Medabots series' events for a better sense of continuity 2. use the good/promising elements of Spirits in better ways 3. bring back more first-series characters and 4. have a good, tight, coherent, exciting plot. I use only canon characters, but I change the roles of some characters in order to (hopefully) enhance the plot. Not all of the Spirits characters will have the same Medabot-human partner match-up as in the canon Spirits series. I'm in the process of planning out the plot in detail, so not a shred of it has been written, yet. This is a far-future forecast.

See you around! I'll be posting! :)

April 11, 2017: Hey all! I'm sorry for the long silence. I got a job teaching 5th grade back in the beginning of October, so I've been very busy. This is my Spring Break, so I was able to get up another chapter of Little Wing on the 9th, and I'm hoping to upload another NiGHTS fic before the week is up. After this week, I'll be super busy again until mid-June. Expect to hear more from me during the summer! Thank you for your patience!
