Guys help I have a strong urge to write Mario and Mega Man fic tell me not to send help please!
Back when I was to college, I was part of a Gundam Wing yaoi mailing list for Heero Yuy and Duo Maxwell (1x2x1 ML forever!) On that mailing list was a girl who called herself snowtigra. We started chatting over IRC (yeah this is how long ago this was) and ended up doing a fic together that was a terrible Resident Evil/Gundam Wing crossover that’s still on the internet somewhere, I’m sure.
Anyhow, long story short, we’re still together after 11 years somehow.
One day, while chatting over IRC, we started roleplaying with anime characters. They came from all sorts of series, from Gundam Wing, to Yu Yu Hakusho, and we just… kept doing it. We started calling it “dating.” She lived in Minnesota and I was in Iowa for school, so we were long distance, but every night we’d get online and “date.” This involved coming up with random plots for these characters, and as we got into more anime series and video games, more characters would show up. Like, “Hey, Gaara is really cool, we should put him somewhere,” or, “I’m really obsessed with Kanji and Naoto right now,” or, “Sebastian and Ciel, please.”
When I moved up to Minnesota, we got an apartment together. One day, after she picked me up from work, we found out that our apartment had been broken into. This included our laptops, which had the file on it we used to roleplay. So, we had to start all over again.
That’s when things changed.
Suddenly characters were changing. For example, we would think, “This would be awesome if it were a female lead,” and so boy characters changed to girl characters. Then we came up with the concept of “The Storyteller,” a creature who lives in a library full of books, each book depicting someone’s life. At some point we realized, you know, these Naruto characters aren’t really the same anymore. We sort of… created our own characters. Like we were still using the name “Haku” but it wasn’t really the same person.
Then, about two years ago, she randomly wrote up a teaser chapter. The characters were renamed, no more Ky Kiske or Gaara, no more heartless or Netherworld, because those things weren’t those things anymore. Then I added a bit to it. Then we sat down and made an outline. The outline ended up creating seven book ideas. She wrote the first one for NaNoWriMo two years ago, then I read over it and added things/took things out and jazzed it up.
We realized, “Fuck… we have a story here.” So she sent it to publishers.
Now we’re signing a contract with Alpha Wolf Publishing.
And thus became the dorkiest love story ever told. The Hunters series started with us being in a long distance relationship where we would roleplay every night to talk to one another.
To all of you roleplayers, fanfic writers, fan artists, and all that’s in between, here is my message to you. Keep doing what you do. Because you never know what it will turn into. This is what it did for me.
Oh, and “Treat Me Kindly,” the book I’ve written on my own? Use to be a Naruto fic that I never finished. After dissecting the fic I kept the first sentence, one of the original characters I created, and two of the animals.
Reblogging because not all of you follow my writing blog, but I wanted to share :)
Like how I’m calling it a book now? ^^
Anyhow, I’ve signed the contract, which makes this official. This is going to be a published book this year :)
Here’s a bit of an interesting background which, when this book gets famous *fingers crossed* will probably make people laugh or disturb them.
This was a fanfic.
This was an unfinished alternate universe Naruto fanfic. I’m sure the fic is still posted somewhere, too. Naruto was a fox, Sasuke ended up taking him home, just… yeah. The fic itself made it about five chapters, with some side chapters that were just for the characters to have smutty fun times.
This story is completely different from the fic. The fic wasn’t a detective novel at all. The only thing I kept from the fic is the first line in the story, the birds, and one of the characters that I had made up myself, and even that character has changed in which he has a mother and father, not just a father, and a closer relationship to the pet he gets.
So… yeah, it’s amazing what fanfiction can do, yeah?
Anyhow, the general synopsis of the book is this:
Detective Alex Sampson is working on a case where an ex-rockstar was found dead in his condo. The strange part is, the only sign of him being hurt is a small wound on his neck and a butterfly that was found at the scene of the crime. It looks like the victim was poisoned, except butterflies aren’t poisonous, and this particular butterfly is supposed to be extinct.
It turns out that there’s prestigious auctions going on where the rich and glamorous bid on rare animals. The animals actually have the ability to turn human and are more than willing to be obedient pets… so long as they’re treated kindly. When they’re not, things tend to take a turn for the brutal and gruesome. But as Alex gets closer to the truth, it’s harder to place blame on the quote, unquote, “killers.” On the one hand, killing people is absolutely wrong, but on the other hand these animals were pushed to the point of lashing out.
So whose to blame?
In this snippet I’m posting, Alex’s friend who works at the police station, Nicholas, has gotten into the auctions thanks to an ex-boyfriend who is part of that wealthy crowd. He gets to take a dog home, and this scene shows exactly why you need to treat these animals with respect.
Enjoy!
Look guys, its a snippet from my book. That’s right, my book! It’s going to be a book! And the back story of it’s creation reveals how much of a geek I really am ^^;;; don’t judge me Naruto was good once
So naotodayo keeps drawing awesome fanart for this fic I teased at, so I should actually, you know, start it?
Plot: In which Naoto Shirogane is a male pop-star with a secret no one sees coming, and Kanji Tatsumi
isisn’t a big fan of him.Warnings: Overall — AU (but the same “finding your true self” theme will apply, completely with dungeons and shadows)For this chapter — one sided Kanji/Naoto, NSFW, masturbation, fantasizing.
Notes: For the purposes of this fic Naoto is referred to as a male for a good portion of it. Also, it might not go through the entire game, but I at least plan on making it to Naoto’s shadow. It starts with Kanji’s arc and progresses from there.
Reblogging for the morning crew, like me, except if you’re headed for work you probably shouldn’t read ^^;;;

Summary: Which is easier? A girl me, or a boy me?
Warnings: AUish (probably more warnings along the way)
Pairings: Kanji and Naoto, for sure, possibly more on the way.
Notes: So if Naoto were an idol, with all the same issues that comes along with being Naoto Shirogane, how differently would things play out?
So a new chapter of my all time favorite Kanji and Naoto fic was posted. I’ve rambled about it a million times but here’s the fic just in case you haven’t read it (YOU SHOULD!)
Anyhow, here we go! Cut because of spoilers.
My favorite Kanji and Naoto fic got an update yesterday. Instead of just sending the author a review, I’ll just post it on my tumblr since a) she reads my tumblr and b) people seemed to like it when I posted the fic recommendation, so I might as well talk about it here.
Very, very small spoilers to the fic behind the cut.
Summary: There’s three (or four) kinds of kisses that get Tony Stark through his days. Some of them he expects, some of them he doesn't but he needs every single one of them.
Pairings: Tony/Pepper, Tony/Steve, Tony/Bruce
Warnings: Kissing, kissing, more kissing, het, slash, multiple pairings, NSFW, my first attempt at writing something for live action characters/comic book heroes so… please accept me into your fandom?
All right, I usually don’t do fic recommendations, but seriously: if you’re a Kanji/Naoto fan, you NEED to be reading this fic. This writer is amazing, and it always makes me incredibly flustered when she likes one of my headcanons, because… those are just headcanons, whereas she’s writing this masterpiece of Kanji/Naoto fanfiction!
Here’s the link to the fic: http://www.fanfiction.net/s/5337624/1/The-Shortest-Distance-from-A-to-B
Here’s why you should read it:
The gist of the fic is the entire game, only in Kanji’s POV, as he deals with his feelings for Naoto. It starts right at the beginning of meeting him, and goes through everything that happens in the game. Not just his social link, or hers, but it includes the entire team – which is great. Souji, Yosuke, Chie, Yukiko, Rise, Teddie, hell even Dojima, Nanako, and even some of Souji’s social links are important in this story. It includes all of their feelings and portrays them beautifully. This fic is so much bigger than Kanji and Naoto, it includes important events, like Nanako getting thrown into the T.V., them finding out who the killer is, and just… everything. It addresses things that I honestly wish the game and anime would’ve touched on.
The rest below the cut are spoilers to the fic and the game, not enough to ruin it, but if you don’t want to know then don’t read.
