Fanfiction
fan·fic n. Informal
Fiction written by fans as an extension of an admired work or series of works, especially a television show, often posted on the Internet or published in fanzines. [fan + fic(tion).]
Welcome to my fanfiction page. Most of what I've written so far is based on various anime series, but I've also done two rather lengthy fics for a web comic. We'll see what the future holds.
Jump to: Ranma 1/2, Slayers, Rurouni Kenshin, College Roomies From Hell, Harry Potter.
Anime
Ranma 1/2
This is my page dedicated to Ranma 1/2 Fanfiction. It's the largest of the sections so far, since I've written a bit more Ranma fanfiction than anything else. Why Ranma 1/2 fanfiction? Ranma 1/2 was the first series I was introduced to, and also the first series for which I found fanfiction. It's one of the most popular Anime to write fanfiction about, largely because the author never drew the series to a satisfying conclusion.
My writing style tends toward the ridiculous. This makes it a perfect fit for a series such as Ranma 1/2, which is a slapstick comedy. So far, everything I've written here is relatively light and humorous. If that's not your cup o' tea, go somewhere else. The rest of you can read and enjoy.
Here's what I've written so far:
- Check Back Later - An off the wall alternate universe fic, in which Ranma arrives at the Tendou's one year later. [5 chapters. Incomplete]
- Megumi's Wish - A crossover with Oh My Goddess! Ranma goes to Nekomi Tech. Takes place after the end of the series. Not a Ranma/Goddess fic. [3 chapters. Incomplete]
- Rain, Rain - A one-shot inspired by The Truman Show. [Complete]
- The Hazards of Reincarnation - A one-shot parody poking fun at reincarnation fics. This is what happens when reincarnation goes horribly wrong. [Complete]
Slayers
Slayers is, in my opinion, one of the funniest Anime around. It takes everything about high fantasy and twists it around into an action/slapstick/comedy. I liked it so much, I decided to go scour the internet for Slayers fanfiction.
The results were somewhat disappointing.
That's not to say that there aren't some very good Slayers fanfics out there. Rather, it is to say that there seem to be a disproportionate number of bad ones. I decided to see if I could add to the list of good ones. Hopefully I've succeeded.
- Slayers: Book of Earth - The first in a planned five-part epic. [3 chapters, incomplete]
Rurouni Kenshin
Rurouni Kenshin has recently become one of my favorite anime/manga series. It has an incredible amount of depth, the stories are usually well thought out and executed, the action is exciting, the romantic moments are suitably warm and fuzzy feeling. In short, this series seems to do everything well.
Rurouni Kenshin is the tale of a wandering swordsman who has given up killing. During the war ten years previous, he killed many men as the infamous Hitokiri Battosai. To prevent himself from killing again, he has a special sword with a reversed blade -- a sakabatou -- with which he fights. He has many people attack him at various times, for revenge, or just to see who is strongest, but through it all, Kenshin keeps his vow and never kills a gain.
I highly recommend it.
- To Protect Life - What if Kenshin had never made his non-killing vow? [1 chapter, incomplete]
- Curse of Fireflies - Not to be taken too seriously. [One-shot. Complete]
Books & Comics
College Roomies from Hell
College Roomies from Hell is a web comic about six college students and their rather extraordinary adventures. That's a fairly poor description, but if you're looking for something with a bit of action, a bit of romance, mutations, a gun nut who wants to kill Satan, an incredibly sadistic Calculus teacher, and more, well, this is the comic for you.
- Variations - I wrote this for NaNoWriMo (National Novel Writer's Month). It's just a little story about Dave Jones and his quest to stop the devil as he falls between parallel realities. Continues here. [25 Chapters. Complete]
- Blue Magic - A play off the Variations concept. This time Dave falls into a universe governed by magic, not physics. Chaos ensues. [8 chapters. Incomplete]
- Dave's Quest - A parody of the old text-based adventure games. I never did get around to finishing this one.
Harry Potter
What, you don't know what Harry Potter is? Have you been living under a rock for the last several years?
- The Legacy of Merlin NEW - A sixth-year fic. Harry has dreams that may hold the key to finding the lost legacy of Merlin, greatest Wizard in European history.
