Hello there reader/member/whatever! I see you have decided to spare some of your time reading this profile.

First of, let me introduce myself. My name is Watch Wannabe (as you can obviously see), but you can call me Watch or W.W. I'm a 21 year old Filipino guy. I turned 21 sometime before I made this account.

I got my penname from my favorite character in the "Spooksville" series by Christopher Pike. The character's name was simply Watch, with no known last name. I added the Wannabe "'Cuz I wannabe just like him" (groan so lame...). I've been reading fanfics for almost 3 years now, started about Sept. '05 (I say almost since its still April). I've also done some anonymous reviews, calling myself W.W.

I've always wanted to make an account in here since the first week I started reading, but kept putting it off due to various reasons. It's terrible since I get so many new ideas everytime I visit the site and see new or updated stories, and I don't get to write them down (most of those ideas are still stored in somewhere in the back of my head). The good part is that at least I'm a bit more aware of how much I really know about some of my ideas, and which I know I can really write a good story with.

I'm not a homo-phob (sp?) but I find yaoi / shonen-ai disturbing. Unless of course, done with a lot of humor, like in "Kyoh Kara Maoh!" I like yuri / shoujo-ai though. Preferably the graphic ones.

Some more info about myself (since a lot of people have done it anyway):

Favorite Authors:

1. Christopher Pike - Spooksville, the first young adult series I read was really awesome, way better than Goosebumps. I also liked his "Bury Me Deep" and the "Remember Me" trilogy for older readers.

2. Isabel Allende - "The House of the Spirits", something I would like to recommend to the more mature readers. For the younger ones, check out "City of the Beasts".

Favorite Comic/s:

1. Pugad Baboy by Pol Medina Jr. - need I say more? (I'm not really sure what to say, except that it's really good)

Favorite Manga: Ranked according to how I liked them. Most of those I've read are manga scans, 'cause they're sofa king (say those 2 words really fast) expensive here in the Philippines.

1. Ghost Hunt - The first manga series that I owned. A nice blend of horror and comedy. I have Vols. 1, 3-8. I actually had 3 choices on what would have been my first manga. This, Guru Guru Pon-Chan (too girly looking) or Eternal Sabbath (too serious looking). The 'Ghost' part on the title kinda got me.
2. Negima! - All that fansevice! o.O And the story as well.
3. Bitter Virgin - Really nice. Tackles a bunch of real-life issues. Something for the more mature reader.
4. Slam Dunk - Actually started reading at the end of the Ryonan game since I already saw he entire anime.
5. Pastel - Something I'm currently reading right now.

Other series I've read,
~ School Days - Sekai really pissed me off, and it didn't end the way I was expecting it to.

2. Yu Yu Hakusho
3. Samurai X
4. Zoids: Chaotic Century/Guardian Force - CC & GF were shown as one series
5. Voltes V

Special mention: My favorites that didn't make it to my Top Five

A three-way tie to what would have been # 6 in my powerless rankings. My current Top Three for myanimelist.net
~ .hack//SIGN - Really nice.
~ Honey & Clover (seasons 1&2) - A nice light series for everyone to enjoy.
~ Jigoku Shoujo (seasons 1&2) - Ai is totally, freakin' kawaii. (Esp. when she wears that kimono and says her four signature lines :D)

Still some others that I've seen and liked:
~ Geneshaft
~ Fate/Stay Night (No. 4 in my MyAnimelist account)
~ Blood+
~ R.O.D the TV
~ The Vision of Escaflowne
~ Fullmetal Alchemist (I'm not a bandwagonner. It was just a really good show. Plus I had no choice, nothing else was on that time.)
~ Kyoh Kara Maoh (Yeah I said I didn't like shonen-ai, but this show is just so fun to watch.)
~ Vandread
~ Slam Dunk
~ Midori Days (cute Midori)
~ Initial D (1st, 2nd, and 4th stages)

~ The Adventures of Tweeny Witches (The animation was really nice.)
~ Ginban Kaleidoscope
~ Gundam Seed/Destiny
~ Dear Boys
~ Black Cat
~ Stratos 4 (the dub sounded weird and funny at the same time)

Fanfics I (seriously) plan to write: Like I said back up there, I've been reading fanfics for almost 3 years. And in all that time, a lot of fanfic ideas popped into my mind (all of which are still "filed" somewhere in the back of my head). Basically, these are my fanfic ideas that I know I'll be able to write (eventually) or had some serious brainstorming/daydreaming for the plot. And here they are, arranged on how (I think) I'll be able to write them.

- A short 3 chapter Mahou Sensei Negima fanfic. Involves yuri.
- A Gundam Wing/AC one-shot.
- A Spooksville one-shot collection.
- Ghost Hunt crossover.
- A Schools Days manga-based, future fic. To be placed on the Misc. Anime/Manga section.

And the really long ones...
- An all OC Fate/Stay Night fanfic (sort of like another 6th war fic).
- A mostly OC Yu Yu Hakusho fanfic. A new team sort of fic.
- A Teen Titans (animated) future/next generation fic. May be start of a new continuity. Set after season 4 of the show.
- A Teen Titans (animated) continuity. Set after season 4, may include 6-8 medium length fanfics (3 w/ some serious plotlines already developed, another 4 in the works) to be connected by short stories. Developed fics: 1st involves Raven & Red X, 2nd focuses on Titans East, and the 3rd will be about a new team of titans.
- A Teen Titans (animated) fanfic set after season 5. Stars the FabFive Titans in the comics. Maybe the start of another continuity.
- A W.I.T.C.H. fanfic. Comic-based, not yet sure where to insert. Something about an evil team facing the guardians.
- A W.I.T.C.H. future fic. Another next generation W.I.T.C.H. (since everyone just can't seem to get enough of these)
- A five-way Anime X-over fanfic. Involves characters from sci-fi/mecha anime.
- A Slam Dunk future fic.
- A Gundam Wing/Sailormoon cross-over fanfic. Involves Hotaru going to the AC era.
- And my favorite, almost three years in the making. A big time X-over starring characters from different anime, manga, book, comic book, video game, and cartoon series. Started with 3 characters, now currently working 65 and counting.

Quite a bunch, right? Well the TT, GW/SM, X-over fics were the ones I sorta developed back late 2005. It would be a waste if I just abandoned those ideas, right?
And as some people say, if you're gonna dream, then dream big! (OK.. That didn't sound as good as I heard it in Filipino, but I hope you got what I meant..)

Honorable Mention: A little list for the fanfics that would have been added in my favorites section, had they not been taken out (or for some reason, I just couldn't find). I just want to say that these fanfics range from good to magnificent. I can't believe these got taken out/deleted, while those fics that are just... after reading them, you'd just want to shoot yourself (or better yet, shoot the author).

WARNING! I've included some summaries, a couple of them containing spoilers. You never know, some of these might get reposted. Or posted in another site. If you don't want to get spoiled, just read the titles or first few words for the untitled ones.

- "The Girl Behind" (Screenplays): The author mentioned it as based on a show or something... I forgot, the last time I read it was 2005. Basically it was about a boy detective investigating the death of a school girl. The way it was written, the author was probably a professional scriptwriter or something.

- "Nightmare Night" (Screenplays): Six teenagers get stuck in their school, for a late night lesson or something, with a killer. It was a nice blend of humor and horror.

- A Gundam Seed fanfic, forgot the title: Set Post-GSD. Shinn and Lunamaria are living together (can't remember it mentioning if they were married). It should have been good, if it weren't for the fact that Shinn is living his life in memory of another girl. Told in Luna's POV. Nice and angsty.

- "Best Left Unsaid" (Mahou Sensei Negima): One-shot. Paru learns why Zazie rarely talks. Really funny.

- "Into The Mind Of Another" (Teen Titans - animated): The Titans find a badly wounded (or, to be more specific, half-dead) Red X outside the Tower. With the help of Raven, Robin decides to do a different type of investigation on Red X. Really good piece of work. Shows a development of in Robin and Raven's relationship (in the non-romantic way).

- A Gundam Wing/AC fanfic, forgot the title: A short collection (2-3 chapters last time I saw it) that features what happens behind he scenes in GW. Shows the most of the main cast of characters in the greenroom rehearsing their lines for the show. Couldn't find it, I think "Greenroom" was the title.

- "Hiei's Birthday" (Yu Yu Hakusho): The YYH gang decide to surprise the twins on their birthday, and do it separately: Yukina with the girls, and Hiei with the boys. Really funny.

- "Lead Me Astray" (Gundam Seed): Damn! This fic got deleted, just when I was about to add it to my favorite stories list! I'm not sure if it was done by the author or by the site admins, although the author did mention something about revising his/her fanfics. Right. The fanfic focuses on the 3 lovely M1 Astray test pilots (who all died on the 2nd-to-the-last episode of the show), their relationships with each other, and the greater role they portray in the fic. A yuri fic. It had graphic sexual content at some scenes. Arghh! 3 girls getting it on! Thats why it really pisses me off that it got deleted. The detail in those scenes was awesome (I'm such a perv)! Oh, and it had a happy ending too.

- "Negima: Niisan" (Mahou Sensei Negima): AU. One-shot. It stars Negi, Kotaro, & Asuna as totally different characters. An older, teenaged Negi strives at work in order to build a better future for his little sister, Asuna. A teenaged Kotaro is Negi's bestfriend, and watches over Asuna when Negi's at work. Set in the town surrounding Mahora. Also features some 'cameos' of other Negima! characters: the Sports Girls (more on Makie & Ako), Ayaka & friends (no mention of who and how many), & Takamichi. It was really nice. Hope it gets reposted.

-"Tales of a Mad Knight" (Ragnarok Online): A story about a quite "unusual" knight with not so noble tendencies. Should I also mention that he gets sent to a mission along with a merchant half-brother (who is less than 10 yeas old), a reluctant (and kinda bitchy) teen swordswoman, and a nervous/jumpy teen acolyte girl. I'm guessing this already gives you an idea of how things went in this fic.

-"A Year with Duo" (Gundam Wing/AC): What the title says. Includes some chapters where Hilde teaches Duo to speak German.

-"Beyond All Reason, Beyond All Therapy" (Yu Yu Hakusho): One of my favorites that got deleted. An angsty Kurama-centric fic.

That's all for now I guess. I'll add more stuff at another time. Hopefully I'll be able to start putting up a few of my fics before the end of this month (May).

A little status report:
According to the lovely Enma Ai, who is currently looking at me from the screen of my cellphone, today is the 10th of May, 2008 and the time, 1:24 am. I've updated my profile more than a few times already. I've already put in most of my fave authors and stories. I have yet to make some signed reviews. I have yet to start putting my fanfic ideas into writing (well' I've done the basic outline of 3 of my Teen Titans fanfics, which I did a couple of years ago, 2 of which are still unfinished). And I have some plans on starting a new forum thread and making a C2 community. I'll probably do that tomorrow...

July 20, 2008 11:48pm(according to my PC)
It's been more than a couple of month's since my last profile update. And I still haven't gotten down to writing (typing) my fanfic ideas. Or touched those that I have typed before. I got some ideas for a PPG fanfic (yeah, PPG as in PowerPuff Girls), or probably PPGZ (the PPG anime).
And the big time X-Over fanfic that I was thinking of doing... I just got some ideas that might turn it into some sort of epic series. In other words, its gonna span more than one fic. My only problem is writing the first one, since I plan (and really want) to write each story/chapter and introduce each character the way I thought (imagined) them to be done, starting from late 2005 until the present (July 2008). With a few minor changes of course. I already got some serious ideas and plans in doing this, which will probably be the first story that I'll post in this site.
I still owe a lot of people some reviews. And some of my fave stories have been getting deleted, I think I'll copy them or something...

Here I go again. I finally got a few days of break from school, only a few days though. School starts again next week. Hopefully, i'll be able to start writing down some stuff. It'll most probably be one of the first five stories on my list above. Or one of my 2 crossover ideas.
I've gotten a few more fanfic ideas since my last update. All starring the characters I chose for that big X-over fic/series that i plan on doing. About 3 of them completely AU, they might as well have been original stories. And one where they all of them are in-character. Well, that would about 65 characters all-in-all, since I first thought about it back in '05. Not including the OCs.
From the looks of things, I'll probably work on either the Spooksville fic or Negima fic.
I'm reading the online scans of W.I.T.C.H. again, after stopping a few months ago. An I like the girls' slight change in their hairdos in Issue 39.
Oh, and I still owe a lot of people some reviews.

December 14, 2008 2:52 am
I've decided to clean up my profile. I obviously wrote too much about myself on some parts.
Anyway, I've managed to post a some reviews, though most of them to only a few stories.
I got an idea for a Naruto story, something about the Sannin during their genin days.
And I've finally gotten an ending for that big X-over story series I've been making.
I have yet to start on it. Or any story idea I had, for that matter.
Still alive, so far so good. Still waiting for a chance to finally get myself to start writing..

It's already late. I need to sleep now.
