![]() Author has written 16 stories for Naruto, Heroes, Covert Affairs, Yu-Gi-Oh, and White Collar. Hi! I'm NitrogenFixation -- call me Nitro. You don't need to know much more personal info than that right now. :P Current Challenge(s) in Which I Am Partaking: Meeps's Shipping Challenge! Peeves: Lots. 4 of them (which I'll add to later), as inspired by Bakura's Guardian Angel: 1: Misuse of Japanese words and names, and misspellings of them. It bugs me like you wouldn't believe. A few mistakes, to be fair, are tolerable; my knowledge of Japanese is extremely limited so I probably wouldn't catch all of them. I am guilty of using Japanese words in writing -- jutsu names and such words as shinobi, Kyuubi, Bijuu, kunoichi and the like in Naruto, and some terms in Yugioh (mou hitori no boku/ore, Aibou, Yadonushi, Hikari, Yami no Game and others) that simply don't have the same meaning in English. Most of them are terms of address of some sort or nicknames. What really bothers me is when people act like they know everything and repeatedly use the words for show, especially if they're misused. (Exception: If it actually adds to the story, I use other words. The Denial of Death is a good example of a scenario in which I feel that it's not unreasonable to use Japanese words. There are also some extremely well-written stories that I love and couldn't really care less if "arigatou" or "daijoubu" are used.) Also, me disliking slash doesn't make me a hater any more than reading it makes someone else gay. I'm going to be bold and say I don't agree with that kind of lifestyle, but I do respect the people who live that lifestyle, even if I neither support nor agree with it. I don't actively advocate against it, and I don't argue about it. It's as much a choice for me as it is for a gay person. Favorite Quotes: "I'd like to help you out. Which way did you come in?" - unknown "Speak softly and carry a big stick; you will go far." - an African proverb “I love writing. I love the swirl and swing of words as they tangle with human emotions.” - James A. Michener -x-x-x-x- UPDATE (Thursday, April 14, 2011): Roll out those lazy, hazy, crazy days of summer... Ahem, sorry. I'm happy because it's warm here. Anyway, I have far too many plot bunnies bouncing around this skull of mine, and Game 3 of Awakening is going to be freaking evil. I need someone to talk to about possibilities. As it turns out, there's MUCH more one can do with a retelling of a story from a different view. I'm still enjoying it, though. Stuck on Ryou in the YGO fandom... He and Yuugi seem to be the characters I write about the most. Strange that none of it's published. Perhaps I'll get around to that soon... And then there are four or five separate ideas for Yuugi, Ryou, and Malik fluffiness. I love writing fluffy friendships. I can't write all the characters in one scene -- it overwhelms me and people get lost in transit, trust me -- but I love to pick a few and write something purely about their friendship. In other news, I've gotten myself interested in Softshipping (Ryou/Shizuka -- yes, Jounouchi's sister)...that, and Trustshipping (Seto/Ishizu, strangely). I'm such a sap. Trustshipping actually seems like something viable to write for, since both Seto and Ishizu are very mature people and would be very, very easy for me to picture together (with some pushing and shoving and the occasional whack upside the head). Softshipping...I don't know how deep and lasting a relationship between two teenagers could ever be, but considering how polite and mature Ryou tends to be depicted as, and how easy it would be for them to get along...I dunno. Shutting up about pairings now. I've said before that I don't write romance, and I don't intend to ever write a romance-centered story, but I may slip in the occasional crush that probably won't matter much to the plot. Such as in a particular one-shot (titled Fleeting Shadows, and not in my story ideas list right now) I'm writing now -- undertones of softshipping, but nothing really, truly romantic. It's not actually about Ryou that much, let alone Shizuka, who I barely ever write. She's only in it because it...is necessary. It just is. That will make more sense if you read it. In other other news...well, there isn't much other news, actually. My show (White Collar -- yes, I've claimed it as my own, seeing as it's so amazing) is going into season 3...I'm being lazy about finishing Duel Monsters...Donald Trump might run for President (his hair is going to win)...this entire country has gone to the dogs... On the bright side, I just remembered to check my dA (and if anyone cares, it's by the same name that I have here and on YouTube and pretty much everywhere -- NitrogenFixation). - Nitro -x-x-x-x- Story Ideas Demons and Dragons Closure Turned Too Late the Hero Misery Something Wicked Treason, Tyranny Gentleman's Wager Empathy Know No Evil Gone Fishing Just Roll with It Elect Thicker than Water Current Stories Naruto Makes No Difference Yugioh: My primary fandom right now. I'll return to Naruto eventually -- it's my longest lasting fandom for a reason, you know. Awakening If you're interested in discussing these or any others -- be they yours or someone else's -- go ahead and contact me. You can send me a message here or email me, if you prefer, at x.nitrogen.fixation@gmail.com. All suggestions and advice welcome. I do love to talk about fanfiction. -x-x-x-x- I generally try not to copy and paste a bunch of stuff, but some of it's too good or too funny or something I stand for very strongly. I try not to paste the long ones, so if you see a very moving poem on someone else's profile that's not on mine, it doesn't mean I don't agree, it just means I don't like flooding my profile. It's extremely unprofessional and irritating for other people. It's true that some things ARE more important than that, which is why I do have a section for it, but personally I'm trying not to be excessive and paste the pointless stuff. These things are important to me. What's important to you? Thank you, Lord, for my salvation, for today, for my family, for my freedom, and for my flag. (Copy+paste) If you believe in Jesus Christ put this in your profile! "And thou shalt love the LORD thy God with all thine heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy might." Deuteronomy 6:5 Even when you can’t see Him, GOD is there! If you believe in GOD put this in your profile. "Am I a God at hand, saith the LORD, and not a God afar off?" Jeremiah 23:23; "That they should seek the Lord, if haply they might feel after Him, and find Him, though He be not far from every one of us:..." Acts 17:27 If you have ever walked into a room then forgot what you were doing, then started walking away and remembered copy this into your profile. If you have ever pushed on a door that said pull or pulled the handle on a door that said push, copy this into your profile. If you ever wonder what would happen to the world if they turned to JESUS instead of OPRAH, copy this into your profile. I have a one-time gift. A beautiful gift that many people are ridiculed for in today's culture. A precious gift that many people throw away. It's called "virginity", and I plan to not waste it on some jerk of a boyfriend who's just gonna dump me later. I choose to be faithful to my future husband, the man who will love me for the rest of my life, and to wait for the wedding day!! If you have chosen to save your one-time gift and are PROUD of your purity, paste this into your profile and add your name to the list: Dearheart, fowl68, Green Rainboots, NitrogenFixation I am a bad American |
