In this place, all anchors to known worlds are torn asunder.
With the stroke of a pen, a boy may become a king, elves may dance to the tune of faerie pipers, and the very weave of reality can melt away on a whim…
Fanfics:
My most heartfelt thanks to Maher Al-Samkari for the logo.
Complete picture forthcoming: please have patience; but for now, enjoy this sample image.
Hatred of Redemption
This is a story that I have a very difficult time putting forth, for a myriad of reasons which I shall further explain within. A single decision, by a single girl, and the world is changed forever.
Future Perfect
A story somewhat inspired by the way that the 3rd Child is characterized at the start of the first manga volume. The last surviving pilot Evangelion pilot, Shinji Ikari, is lost when Evagelion Unit 01 is pulled into the Sea of Dirac by the Twelfth Angel. With no other options left NERV takes the only action it can, inundating the Angel with nearly a thousand N2 mines, and Shinji awakens somewhen far distant, amidst a terrifyingly familiar war.
Revolutionary Girl Utena:
This is an Utena continuation fic, and probably my darkest work to date. More than fourteen years have passed since Utena left Ohtori, and in the 'real' world portents weigh heavily in the skies, and darkness comes stealing into dreams. The Revolution is coming, and He will not be stopped.
Part One:
Part Two:
Part Three:
At the point I wrote this, I had seen about half of the "Revolutionary Girl Utena" series, and for those of you familiar with it, you know that the character relationships are very intriguing while the plot itself in an enigmatic series of twists and betrayals. Within is one of the possible resolutions.
Cowboy Bebop:
A Bebop continuation of a different sort. After the near apocalyptic showdown between Spike and Vicious, the Red Dragon Syndicate finds itself on the verge of an internal war of succession, and in desperation turns to the only man who can hold the syndicate together. But in saving him, have they damned themselves?
Rurouni Kenshin:
Most of the Kenshin fanfics I read are either very silly or deadly serious (excluding the incredible number of songfics written around this series, which are in my opinion just plain weird). This one leans more towards the 'serious' camp, but I try to keep it from being as pointlessly dark and bloody as others are.
Misc:
This chaotic crossover was written as an entry in the AnimeFest '99 fanfiction contest, and is a parody of both the anime convention and the fanfic contest itself. For people who like to know such things, the series involved are: Ah! My Goddess, Bastard!, Bubblegum Crash, Darkstalkers, El Hazard, Fushigi Yuugi, Ghost in the Shell,Marmalade Boy, Neon Genesis Evangelion, Pokemon, Ranma 1/2, Revolutionary Girl Utena, Rurouni Kenshin, Sailor Moon, Slayers, Tekken, Tenchi Muyo, and Trigun.
MSTs:
Welcome to Misplaced Science Theater. Come on in and join our hapless trio of heroes as they are try to survive with their sanity intact through some of the worst pieces of fanfiction to invade the internet.
Experiment 1: Hellstorm Evangelion part 1: Meet the heroes in the first published experiment as they are subjected to the atrocity that is Issei and are innudated with demons, misplaced puntucation, and Shinji's unpredictable bladder.
Experiment 2: Bubblegum Crisis/Ghost in the Shell: You'd think that given their cybernetic sci-fi themes, BGC and GitS would make a great crossover. One would think that, were one given to thinking...
Experiment 3: Fallen Angel: Did you know that NERV likes to store its extra Evangelions inside giant icebergs randomly floating around Antartica? Neither did I. See the Magic Picture Gendo, and marvel at how massively ineffective all of NERV is in the face of one smarmy little boy.
Experiment 4: Hellstorm Evangelion part 2: Heeeeeerrre's Issei! Now everybody run as this seeming progeny of Kodachi and the Joker runs amuck and tries to turn Shinji into a flaming monkey humper.
Experiment 5: Fallen Angel part 2: Well, at least I can say this about Christopher: he's not trying to get Shinji into the sack. However, he does seem to be hitting on every other female in sight, except Asuka (takes notes, this will be important). Meanwhile, Gend'oh(!) displays remarkably bad judgement.
Experiment 6: Time Angels: See the wacky adventures of the Crono Trigger cast as they stumble into Tokyo-3 circa 2015 and attempt to prevent 2nd Impact (yes, I know that they're fifteen years to late, but they never seem to figure it out). This also marks my first attempt at a co-MST. Blame Karen, It Is All Her Fault.
Original Stories:
These are my original works. Some science fiction, some fantasy, I bear no respect whatsoever for the warp and weave of reality. Let starships grace the heavens, and dragons dream the dreams of the ages.
For the entirety of our lives we stand watched beneath the gaze of our inanimate possessions, and sometimes we form our own attachments to these objects, binding chains woven of memory and circumstance. Although short, this is a must read and arguably the best piece of fiction I have ever written.
Deus accelerare Corporalis
The title means Body of the God of Speed, at least as far as my lackluster Latin skills can tell me. The setting is very reminiscent of Battle Angel Alita.
This is a marshmallow story. Tasty, but not much substance. Still worth the read though.
A Tale of Two(half) Cities OR Two and Two Makes 3.639281
One of the few plays I've written. This definitely heavy on abstract surrealism, but everyone I showed it to liked it (except for the one who hated abstract surealism).
Oddities & Ends
These just plain defy description. That doesn't mean there any less cool though.
Stranger in a Strange Land. Yeah, originalty was never my strong point. This is my daily journal of the semester I'm spending in Japan. Take a gander at my misadventures in the land of the rising sun.
You can run into some of the strangest people online. In this case, an estranged couple runs into each other in a chat room after something like six thousand years of separation.
The Joining of the Two
In my English course, one of our assignments was to right a dramatic monologue. This is a strange take on an accident I saw in a gas station parking lot just as I was about to go home from work.
Hey Mr. Klan-man!
This was a faux-submission to the editorial page of The Ann Arbor News, written by a acquaintance of mine, mocking the most recent gathering of inbred village idiots (better known as the Annual Ann Arbor Ku Klux Klan rally).
