Hello everyone,

I always write OC stories, practically always inserted in the canon plots. I keep reading and making corrections up to the last second before posting but even so I still can't get all the typos and spelling errors so I'll certainly need beta readers not only for that reason but also to keep me in check. Also, English is not my mother tongue so keep an eye on the grammar and conjugation mistakes in particular. I'm a thorough person and I like my stories foolproof so coherence is of prime importance to me and I can't stand when the characters act well, out of character. It might be inevitable but I think I'm doing my best to keep it as unnoticeable as possible.

My previous Avatar and Gundam Seed polls are deleted.

If you have questions, feel free to pm me. I'll definitely answer your messages, but I don't guarantee that you'll get the answers you want ;p

!! Vote for the story whose update you're looking forward to the most !!

poll is at the top of this profile page

This poll helps define my priority list. Other criteria are number of favorites and subscriptions, number and QUALITY of reviews. By quality I mean how detailed is your feedback, what exactly you like and why, that you DO NO COPY/PASTE OR REPEAT a previous comment (you're not a robot), and that content be mentioned.

Putting the results here: for now, 37 people voted, 22 for Gundam Seed, 5 for Yu Yu Hakusho and 10 for Avatar.

I decided to make myself a DeviantArt account where I'll be posting the wallpapers I make with GIMP. I try to make a theme out of each episode/arc. So if you too have a deviantart account, give me a shout out. To find me, just google 'deviantart YumenoJigen' :)

NO FIXED UPDATE SCHEDULE

Since I returned to work, updates will be slow again...

Currently writing: Avatar

the Avatar chapter might take some time since it's not based on the cartoon, but mostly invented with the help of some of the Lost Adventures comics series. Or maybe not as it might be shorter than usual chapters ? I don't know...

Avatar The Last Airbender: updated: ch50 and 51 - on Word: ch60 in progress

Gundam Seed: FINISHED 48/48

(Sequel to my Gundam Seed story) Gundam Seed Destiny: updated: ch07 and 08 - on Word: ch17 in progress

Spirited Away: FINISHED 7/7 I don't plan on writing a sequel but who knows, maybe an epilogue when I have ideas :) I know people have been asking about it but I still don't have enough ideas for something proper, sorry.

Yuu Yuu Hakusho: updated: ch54 - on Word: ch63 in progress

I DO NOT accept story requests. As an active member of society, I barely have enough time for my own stories and other hobbies, so I don't have time to write for others. However, if you only need help with ideas, I can still listen :)

Now I think this might be useful...

Tips for reviewing:

Why give a detailed review? Because 'if they don't care enough to write a proper feedback, does that mean my story is no good? How can I improve then? Why should I even bother?' Some writers feel insecure and need reassurance, and/or some gentle push in the back. If you make efforts, I believe the authors will try to respond to you in kind and make more efforts too.

I think a good review should include proof you read the story, mention something specific that you liked, your feelings and thoughts when reading, how it affected you, the reasons you liked it... is it the backstory? personality? development? drama? descriptions? style? What are you favorite scenes? and WHY? What made you sad? angry? happy? excited? Perhaps what are your hopes for the rest of the story? 'This fic is funny/interesting' is not really 'specific... 'I really laughed at that scene when the chara did that' is much better. Or 'you really wrote that sad moment well, you described the feelings so vividly it actually made me cry! "

Also, if there are bad points, it's manners to balance them with good points. if you just say things like 'I don't mean to anger you but that point is no good.' or 'paragraphs are too long' or 'this character is bad', that will antagonize the writer. A better way to phrase things would be 'that part seems a bit off, though can't really explain why... maybe you're overdoing things a little, you could try to tone that down a little', 'in that scene you don't mention the other characters enough (what about making them do this instead of that?)' You don't need to cut down the critiques, just the negative wording.

Also, beware of the 'Mary Sue' flag. It's come to mean so many things that the author won't even guess what you truly want to say. All one can understand from that is 'this story is not good and the problem is that character'. Simply tossing such a generic term without any explanation won't help one bit. Again, you need to be more specific: 'in those scenes, you're focusing too much on the OC, you should be careful as to not overshadow the other characters too much, though I understand that since we all know the other characters, you want to tell us more about the OC since she's completely new.' 'The character lacks some depth, maybe show more flaws, or make those she has more pronounced'. 'I don't think you should have given her that trait, it's a bit over the top'

I hope I have been clear, and that it will help you :) .

By the way, I listen to criticism about grammar, spelling, or anything related to the linguistics and the form and try to correct myself if need be. If it's about writing style, that's not exactly something you can really control and it seems to be more a question of personal taste. Regarding content, if you find that something lacks coherency, I'll think carefully about the validity of your arguments. But if it concerns the OCs and/or whole pans of stories, I can't really rewrite the whole thing for a minority. I need to feel the need to bring changes, and know how to do it. I can't change the plot and OC that easily. I write the best I can at the moment. I'm working hard on them and evolution will be seen over time.

Conclusion: If you don't like you don't have to read. If you still want to read, I can only advise you to be patient and save everyone time and trouble by keeping your flames to yourself. I know I can't please everyone, that's why I do as I please. :3

Thank you for reading.

Cheers!
