UPDATE/INFORMATION ABOUT MY CURRENT WHERABOUTS -5/21/15

I figured my absence would have been self-explanatory, but I suppose I should put an official notice on my account. I'm no longer writing fanfiction. I've moved on, working on my college degree, living on my own, living my life. I barely have time to read the books I want to read, let alone actually write anything more than college essays. I apologize for leaving my readers hanging, but I've moved on. Thank you all for your support!

Certainly been a while since I've updated this...seems more like a testament to my older writings than anything else, but all the same there's a chance I could still come back with the proper inspiration. For the time being, I'm no longer writing anything. Simply reading and enjoying in my spare time. I apologize to my faithful readers.

I mainly write Lion King fiction, and for a while my main focus will be on my Pride Trilogy. I've completed the first two stories and have written and posted about half of the third one. I've decided to go back and re-write the first two stories completely now that I'm older and a little more experienced. They'll be labeled as "Re-Mastered".

I'm a huge fan of The Lion King!! I also like Harry Potter, How to Train Your Dragon, The Inheritance Cycle, All Dogs Go To Heaven, Kingdom Hearts, Kung Fu Panda, Wicked, District 9 and a large assortment of other movies/books/media-affiliated goodies!

Like me on Facebook, and keep up with my updates about my stories and chapter-writing!

Finished Stories:

The Pride of Man - What happens when we toss a teenage boy who has suffered so much tragedy and pain into the Lion King? He lives with Mufasa and Sarabi, until tragedy strikes, and in one fell swoop, Mufasa and Simba both die (well, we all know what REALLY happened to Simba) and Scar takes over. Ayden lives in the Pride Lands during these times of hardship. (Based on Amase's The White Water Chronicles with prior permission to use.)

A Lion of a Man - This sequel to Pride of Man follows Ayden and the life he has as new king of the Pride Lands. However, being king is not all that Ayden ever thought it would be, what with the constant barrage of attacks and threats from Zira and her banished band of Outsiders, a nephew and a niece, Tanabi and Kiara, a new outsider of whom his allegiance Ayden is unsure of, and another strange visitor...one who, even though their paths have never crossed, is still part of Ayden's and the entire pride's dark past. (Based on Amase's The Diamond Star Chronicles with prior permission to use.)

And He Was Naive...- A brief one-shot on Sweeney Todd's thoughts after concocting the plan that would ultimately lead to his doom.

Current Projects:

The Pride of Man Remastered - Ayden is a 16-year-old teenager who ventures with his family to Africa on a school trip. When tragedy befalls the family, Ayden is left as the only survivor stranded in the middle of the African plain. He's found and taken in by Sarabi and Mufasa mere months before Scar enacts his plan for the crown. This story will be remastered in Dolby Digital 5.1 Surround Sound...and it's gonna have more characters, more background, better writing (to the best of my ability at least), more sub-plots, and just...more!

A Magical Nightmare - A crossover of Dead Space and Harry Potter. The Wizarding World has been forced to integrate into Muggle society after Earth had to be abandoned. Now, witches and wizards must take jobs on Muggle craft to make a living. But when Necromorph outbreaks begin to occur, the Wizarding World must use all its' power to hold back the monsters while at the same time, try to keep itself hidden from Muggle eyes, lest they be subjected to a power even more terrifying than the Necromorphs; the leaders of Unitology.

The Heart of Man - After the Great Union of the Outland Pride and The Pride Landers, life can't be any better. But when a rogue lioness and a group of human poachers arrive in the Pride Lands, Ayden and Simba are sent hurling headfirst into a risky and life-threatening adventure to save their Pride before it's too late. (Currently on a LONG hiatus until I finish re-writing the first two again.)

The Wizard and I - Elphaba was sent flying (literally) down the path to become the Wicked Witch of the West after one decision to run from the Wizard of Oz. But what would have happened if she hadn't run? What would have become of the Wicked Witch and Glinda the Good if they both worked with the Wizard? Secrets will be revealed, compromises will be made, relationships will spark, and an old woman's wrath will be brought down on all of Oz. (Based on Wicked, the Broadway Musical, not the book) (This story is on a LONGER hiatus until I finish Heart of Man. I apologize for the inconvenience.)

Future Stories...

Sanity from Innocence - Many years after the defeat of Lord Voldemort, Harry Potter finds himself in Number 12, Grimmauld Place, sorting through his godfather's possessions. Whilst he rummages, he comes across a vial of memories and a journal written by his beloved godfather, Sirius Black. With the pensieve that Harry inherited from Albus Dumbledore, he views these memories and reads along in the journal as he sees and experiences what Sirius saw and experienced, from the fateful night of Voldemort's downfall, through his false imprsionment in Azkaban, and his inevitable escape from the dreaded prision to exact his revenge on Peter Pettigrew and search out his godson, for whom he still feels responsible for.

Harry Potter/How to Train Your Dragon Crossover

Status: Blue Sky (1)

(1) - "Blue Sky" is a term used by Disney Imagineers, the people who design the rides and attractions for Disney parks around the world. "Blue Sky" is the time where the Imagineers spend to think of ideas and branstorm on them. So I thought that "Blue Sky" was an appropriate term for the time when I am thinking of how to tell a story.
