Virginia, United States

For those who did not know, Marcus Rakentine passed away on 9-7-2017. We want to urge everyone to continue reading and commenting on his stories.

Also, we want to thank everyone who supported him and was so kind to him here on Fanfiction...it meant a lot to him, and it means a lot to us, his grieving family. THANK YOU!!

Fanfiction is something new to me, a hobby of sorts which started last year. I relate to video games I think in a very unique way, for I care a lot about their story and their lore. But I don't obsess over it as much as I like to see how I would change it. I also like Crossovers. So I'm attempting to unite Mario, Link, Starfox, Metroid, Kirby, Sonic, Mega Man, Crash, and Spyro into the same omniverse via a four part Story arc called The Gaming Omniverse. I think It will be different than you expect. I also am attempting to unite Crash, Spyro, Klonoa, Rayman, Ratchet, Jak, and Sly Cooper in another four part story arc called Playstation Allstars. I've got my work cut out for me, as well as some other side stories to keep me occupied. Check out my DeviantArt page. (It's where all the illustrations are! [that... I commissioned from other actual artists])


Writing is Fighting.

What it means to be a writer,

Is to have what it takes to be a fighter.

But your opposition isn't any critic,

It is instead your will to write prolific.

Marcus Rakentine, 2016

Crash and Spyro, A Friendship Across Lifetimes reviews
The plot is not an extension or continuation of any existing game; instead this story is original and deviates heavily from the source material, yet references, draws inspiration, and expands upon Crash and Spyro's canon to tell a tale spanning two lifetimes.

A Metallic Disposition, An Enemy's Redemption reviews
A metal complexion. A scary proposition. Made to be superior. All other desires ulterior. A foil to good. Or maybe… just misunderstood. Are his decisions by his choice or by design? Could he be something more if given time? Metal may never be clear of his past transgressions. But the road to redemption requires just one's compassion.
