Welcome

Hi, I'm hottelk. I joined a few years back when I found some really good Legend of Zelda fiction. I read and lurked for a few years before trying my hand at writing some. I have this site to thank for that. You guys and all your wonderful imaginations have encouraged me to write as well, so thanks for that!

Current Professions and Strengths

I'm currently studying music education in college. My goal is to be a high-school band/orchestra/choir director. I'm also an avid composer, producer, sound designer, and performer. In fact, I'm absolutely more confident in my music than my literature, but I find it interesting how similar they are. For instance, when writing a piece of music for someone to play, I'll often write them a letter first and base my composition off of that. They never see the letter, but hopefully they experience everything I wanted to tell them.

Reading and Writing Preferences

As far as fan fiction goes, I enjoy mature, enriching novelisations of canon events with a dash of the author's ingenuity on top. Very occasionally I'll really like a work that takes my favorite characters on an original journey, but I mostly like looking at the canon from a different perspective. In the spirit of fan fiction, however, I'll read just about anything and probably enjoy it.

Series and Franchises

I'm mostly interested in game fiction, although some Anime and books have caught my eye. The Fairy Tail fiction on this site is pretty great, and I've read some quite deep and realistic Harry Potter fiction. My favorite is a toss up between Star Fox and the Legend of Zelda series. I read these the most, and they're the ones I'll most likely write. I don't have much posted at the time of this writing, but I think I've finally jumped some hurdles and I'm ready to tackle my own novelisations.
