Hey, CrystalMaiden77 here. I write Sonic fanfiction and some Kid vs Kat fanfiction, too (I'm Canadian). I'm also a fanfiction writer on deviantart, and there's a few stories I have there that are exclusive to there. I have a Youtube channel of the same name and avatar, and I do post-commentary Let's Plays of Sonic and Zelda games, uploading one part a day. You should at least check out my Fantastic Sonic Music playlist, which features great music from each Sonic game in chronological order, even obscure games like Mean Bean Machine for the Game Gear. I add to it as I play through Sonic games, so for example, I'm playing through Unleashed right now, so once I beat The Unleashed Project - which I'll be able to do once I get a controller for it that doesn't restrict me to 4 directional movement - I'll start adding music from future games in the franchise. I've got over a hundred songs on my playlist right now. I've moved onto Let's Plays and uploading stories I've already written before to deviantart, but I still like writing and I'm still active. I plan to start my own website eventually that will contain my written reviews of each of the Sonic games.

Pen Name: So why do I have this pen name? Well, I'm also a huge fan of the Legend of Zelda series, which I think is the most consistently good franchise in gaming. In fact, my very first video game was A Link to the Past, which I played as a 4 year old. I have a lot of fond memories and nostalgia for that game, even though it took years for me to get past the boss of the Tower of Hera, and so naturally I named myself after the maidens in the crystals in that game. As for the 7 part? 7's my favorite number.

Age: I was born in July 1997. Yeah, I'll admit it. I'm pretty young.

Gender: Female, as you probably could've guessed from my username and avatar.

Likes: Video games, writing, thinking about and analyzing fiction and games, learning fascinating things like about new technology and stuff, writing down my personal opinions and " reviews " on Sonic games, The Legend of Korra and Avatar: The Last Airbender, getting feedback and reviews, and watching Youtube commentaries of games from Clementj642, BrainscratchComms, slowflake, HellfireComms, and Super Gaming Bros.

Dislikes: Writer's block, doing school work, waiting doing nothing because of loading or the like, technical problems, boredom, people who are closed-minded, many annoying gameplay design decisions like padding and bad controls and the like, and a whole bunch of other stuff.

Favorite Games: Sonic Adventure DX, Sonic Unleashed Wii, Sonic 3, Sonic Triple Trouble, Sonic 1, Sonic 1 for Game Gear and Sonic Advance 2 for Sonic games (SADX is my favorite Sonic game), The Legend of Zelda A Link to the Past and Wind Waker, Pokemon White and Pokemon OmegaRuby. I haven't played Sonic Generations PC yet, because I can't, but when I do, it'll probably be on here and just before Sonic Unleashed.

Favorite Game Franchises: Sonic, Zelda, and Pokemon, with Sonic being my favorite. I just love its universe and its characters have so much potential, and it has so many good games and has a great fanbase and produced some really entertaining reviews and commentaries.

Stories I've Written:

Sonic Stories: And Then What?, Betrayal, Don't Waste My Time, Electricity, Forgiveness, Giving Up (prequel to The Rescue Mission), Mistake, Plane Crash, Regrets, Self-Termination, The Change, The Collapse, The Fever (prequel to The Rescue Mission), The Redemption (finally finished), The Rescue Mission (which The Redemption is a direct sequel to), and Unknown Hero.

Kid vs Kat Stories: Cliffhanger, Close Call, Collapsed Shelf, Frostbite, Guilt, Lucky Coincidence, Making Amends, Marathon, Meaningful Dream, Mistaken Identity, Mutual Revelations, No Means No, Odd Jealousy, Season Three, Shovel, Submerged and Saved, The Final Battle with Mr. Cheeks, and Uneasy Truce.

My Personal Favorites of the Above: Forgiveness for Sonic, and Frostbite for Kid vs Kat.

Some of My Favorite Stories by Other Authors: The Origin of the Unbreakable Bond I've really gotta recommend, you couldn't find a better origin story for Sonic and Tails' friendship out there. I Am All of Me, the one with like over 30 chapters, by Child at Heart Forever, I think it's an excellent way to take Shadow the Hedgehog's confusing plot and make sense out of it. The Last Story doesn't explain what missions Shadow canonically did and what actually happened, and I think that fanfiction perfectly explained it in a way that made sense, while making a few tiny changes here and there to make it all fit together. It's practically canon to me, along with the previous one I mentioned. For non-Sonic fanfictions, I've gotta recommend A Change of Heart, a Mario fanfiction that is surprisingly well done and really gets you into it and makes you feel something. You wouldn't expect a Mario fanfiction to be as good as this one is. Even I couldn't write stories as great as the ones I just recommended.
