Hi. I'm tintin, welcome to my Lair of Doom, Long Paragraphs of Winding Roads and Beating About the Bush.

I'm a rabid fangirl of D.Gray-man, Fullmetal Alchemist, Bleach, RuroKen, Hikaru no Go, Tenipuri, Pokemon, Tantei Gakuen Q, Fruits Basket, Witch Hunter Robin, Harry Potter, Artemis Fowl, Sammy Keyes, Diana Wynne Jones' Chrestomanci Series, Ouran Koukou Host Club, Redwall, Phantom of the Opera, and Les Adventures des Tintin, uhm, well, the list goes on. it's a long, long list.

Unfortunately (or fortunately) i'm mainly a lurker. Which means i don't write fics all that often.

But of what i've written, looking back at some, (Pokemon Productions especially) i feel it needs a complete rework - except i never had that plot in mind. Oh well.

But you're here because of the fics, not because of me! So...

Pokemon Productions proudly present...Romeo and Juliet!

Basically your typical Pokemon fanfic-Ash and Misty are persuaded to act as Romeo and Juliet! A community production organised by Daisy, this is one messed-up play. The entire play will not be shown, instead focussing more on backstage. With plenty of insults, insanity and hilarity, this is not the typical Romeo and Juliet. Slight AshxMisty, however not much. And of course, all proceeds go towards the Old Folks' Home of Cerulean City.

This fanfic is sort-of AU, bringing in people like Rudi and Duplica. But it can also be viewed as that tiny little break in between, where the trainers take a break and decide to help Daisy and do their part for the community! (Of course, they need to fill up their community service hours, so this may not be completely out of goodwill and cheer)

Charity begins at home, but this is one time where charity has definitely gone wrong.

oops, ranted enough. chappie one finished, on to chapter two! (should i post instead?)

Amerika no Seikatsu

In answer to my reviewers here, no, i'm not Japanese. i wonder what made you think that way.

However, i do take Japanese lessons, and i thought that Jap would be appropriate in this fic.

At least i've completed it! Thankshuu to all my reviewers (they were the only ones who kept me typing). and muchas gracias to all at TGQ boards! domo arigatou gozaimasu ne! (lorraine: if you read this, i'm working on the scanlations! promise!)

Ryuu is kinda angsty, someone said. i dunno whether you could call him angsty, but yeah. he's kinda depressed in this fic. Because after reading about his life in the manga, i can't believe that someone could be born brooding and cold like Ryu was at the beginning, especially since he turned out to be so emotional nearing the end. So, i thought that something had to have happened before he entered DDS. Since i have a feeling that Hades wouldn't have done much to torture him or anything when he was younger (going by the manga) i figured something must have happened when Hades sent Ryu to America to study. Since that's the only period of his life which Ryu doesn't talk about. He's very brief about it, even to Kyu. and when Shishido mentions it to him, he looks rather distressed. So.. as you can guess.. i came up with this fic to explain that (to myself, in a rather illogical way, and also to anyone who's confused!). Yeah, and now that it's over, i hope that you guys reallyreally enjoyed it, i definitely enjoyed coming up with ideas for the story!

Once again, thanks to all who reviewed. and keep on reviewing! You guys are the people who keep slumbering fanfic writers (like me who are too lazy to pick up that pen every single day) awake, on our toes, and encouraged! Thanks to you, i finally posted it, albeit half a year late.

Let the music flow - and fly.

This started initially because i wanted a HikaGo AU - just to try writing an AU for fun. (Alright, i'll admit it, i'm a sucker for AUs because they have so much potential, if paying little respect to the actual storyline.) This was oh, what two years ago, and the two things i was really involved in at that time was piano and badminton. And i kinda figured that since Hikaru was always the sporty type from the start, badminton would be a cool sport to place him in, firstly because badminton is nothing and all like Hikaru. I'd really expect Hikaru to play a ball sport like soccer, but that'd involve teams, which i can't see Hikaru doing. And secondly because i felt the world needed more badminton. So Hikaru was put into the badminton team. Piano - why piano? Because like Go, i can't see Hikaru doing anything quiet like listening to classical music. Piano dates waaaaaaay back. Piano has its greats like Beethoven and Mozart, and it's still quite current today. Long of the short, i love the idea this story gave me, but i am stuck for a plot. Aside from reverting to the actual storyline, which i'd frankly not like to do. So i'm very sorry, but i don't see this carrying on anytime soon. Let me know however if you'd like to take it up.

Memory

My most recent fic - and i think one of my better ones. (In fact, my TGQ fics are the better of the lot more because they actually have planned plots). It was written for the TGQ fic contest over at the TGQ boards, and i won 2nd prize for it! Memory really was a tough one to write, because i had these two ideas and i couldn't decide which to run with. I also don't like to make things too blatant, or too cliched, so again that was quite difficult, in particular this one scene where everything is in bursts of small sentences. The theme for the contest was "flash" - and to me 'flash' = 'camera' = 'photo' so uhm, haunted photos! Kyu should never be given a camera. I'd like to say more about the plot, but really it's a) a one-shot and b) the plot's really self-explanatory as it goes along. I don't like to ruin things for people, so let's just say its things from Ryu's perspective. What happened mainly after Dan sensei's death. Uhm...i'm quite proud of it so uh, go read it!

Blot out the Rain

Fine, random fic moment of spasticness (uhm, yes i think it was raining when i wrote it). I wrote it quite quickly though, so one day i'd like to go back and refine it, especially the perspectives. The perspective switches somewhere halfway from 2nd to 3rd-1st and it's rather confusing and awkward. I like the usage of the 2nd hand perspective but it's difficult to manage. In essence, Blot out the Rain just reflects the camaraderie that Class Q already shares - just a friendship!fic that i'd like to see more scenes of in the manga. Well, with more humour and less angst, i suppose.

It's been two years since i last touched ff.net, and i've slowly been drawn away from here and more over to the Net, where i find most of the better fanfics are (such as Livejournal). For readers who have mainly floated around ff.net (like i used to), i recommend you search for fic recs because well, the first search never turns up anything. I'll say this - there are much better writers out there than me. I know that. To all people who have read my fics here, thanks a lot, especially if you commented. Comments, no matter how small or how inflammatory, make a writer's day just because they know that they can keep moving on with this fic - because people were interested enough in its potential to read it, and that the writer has the potential to improve on it.

OK, i've rambled enough! On to the stories!
