Notice: for those of you who responded to my poll with other (pm me), if you don't pm me, I don't know which ship you want!

About me: I am 18 years old, and I go to Troy High School in Southern California. Name? Not revealing that just yet.

Now that I'm a second semester senior, I'm getting back into doing the research and finishing the prologue (it's 2-3 parts, haven't decided which yet) of my story.

I am mainly interested in writing Pokemon fanfics, though I may also write about 4 others (Artemis Fowl, HTTYD, Dragon Ball, and LoL)

Pokemon
Favorite Ships: Advanceshipping (only issue is Drew and Season 9: the writer for that season was a Contestshipper, which was confirmed by an interview given by the director of the Pokemon show at the time, thus making the Contestshipping hints for that season invalid in my opinion. Yes they did happen as part of the official show, but imo b/c of that Pokemon should make sure May is shown to not be attracted to Drew if/when she shows up again in the show) and that the hints are explained in a way that shows she does not have a crush on Drew, Aureliashipping (so far, Lillie seems like a combo of May and Serena, and it's really cute for me. Still early stages though, so we'll see), Amourshipping (it seems a bit excessive (Serena stalking Ash in the beginning, etc), but is still quite adorable. I honestly think that it's not going to become true despite what other people think, and here's why: when Serena kissed Ash on the lips, Ash didn't respond. Didn't blush, didn't make any movements in surprise, nothing. Ash has reacted to people he has a crush on: in Kanto, just by seeing Giselle, he started blushing hard. Once he found out what she was like and stopped liking her, he stopped blushing b/c of her. So the fact that Ash didn't even blush when kissed by Serena means that he doesn't like Serena that way. In other words, it's one-sided. yes, the director wants Amourshipping to be a thing, but the first director wanted Pokeshipping to be a thing, and that didn't happen. As long as Ash is well liked as a protaganist and Pokemon continues to air the anime, he'll never end up with any girl. Sad, but true.).
Ships I like: Pearlshipping, Rayshipping (idk why), Altoshipping (it does get a bit weird though...)
Neutral ships: Pokeshipping (Misty obviously likes him but she's so...for lack of a better word...bitchy, always yelling at and arguing with him), most other ships.
Disliked ships: yuri/yaoi, most pokemonxhuman ships. I'm not against homosexuality, I just don't like reading stuff about it. Pokemonxhuman gets weird (altoshipping is a notable exception for me, but even that only works for me in certain cases-it helps that latias has a human form. For an example of a great altoshipping story that has latias in pokemon form, see spixprime's true destiny trilogy. It also works out if Ash somehow becomes a latios: see Dragonfall by Storylover Vodhr- Dux Ducis.)
Hated Ships: Contestshipping: there are many reasons why, and I will be happy to explain via PM. My reasoning is much too long to put on my profile, so you'll have to PM me. Part of it includes the kind of person Drew is.

Artermis Fowl
I support ArtermisxHolly (I believe some call it Hartermis?), though I don't agree with the way Trouble is portrayed in some of those fanfics. This oneshot is what I think should/did happen after the last book. https://www.fanfiction.net/s/8744642/1/Holly-Short-The-Life-Conundrum

How to Train Your Dragon
Hiccstrid ftw XD it's canon!!!

Dragon Ball
KrillinxAndroid 18 (K18 I think is the ship name?) and it's canon too! It's a unique ship. Maybe I'll get into more in the future? probably not though

LoL
Tristmo. If you don't understand, you don't want to get into this. It's not bad, it's just...the context is not something I want to bring on people. People who know what this means know why (the salt is real oml)

Planned fanfics:

1. (no title as of yet) Rewrite of Ash's journey, in my own way. I plan to do this uniquely, with some borrowed ideas that I'll make my own. Shipping will not come until the end saga, though I might write about their journeys together as a couple?, and it'll be done in a way that even Pokemon the company could use it if they so choose. I can be persuaded to put in hints, and you're welcome to try to argue for why your ship should be the final one in this story. I want to make a story that everyone can enjoy without angst over shippings (except for yuri, yaoi, and contestshipping) until the end.

(Now's a good time to mention that my dream is to make my ship come true, even if I have to make enough money to become majority shareholder of Pokemon.)

Writing Status: Early Planning Stages. Much of my last summer was spent at a summer camp where I lived and breathed math, so unfortunately I haven't gotten much done. I have some of Kanto's plot (roughly 40%) planned out, and I've written 2 chapters. Currently, I'm in the summer between junior and senior year, and I'm insanely busy, so I probably won't get much of it done until senior year second semester. As I plan to have this go across all regions of Pokemon that have been released, this will be a long one.

A Word about me and fanfiction (may also be a rant): After reading many different stories on Fanfiction, I have become sad, disappointed, and outraged about the sheer number of fanfictions that have been left unfinished/discontinued. The discontinued part I can sympathize with, though I would like to see at least an attempt to finish the story or for a rewrite. Leaving a story unfinished for years though, is quite heartbreaking for the readers. Even though the author is technically under no obligation to finish his/her story, I am of the opinion that if you start something, you should see it through to the end. Therefore, any fanfictions that I write, I will finish. If I feel that I won't be able to, I simply won't write it, and will instead hand it off to someone else who I am sure will complete the fiction. If I run out of ideas, I will ask for help and periodically update talking about my status. I probably won't start a fanfiction that I'm in risk of running out of ideas on though.

Further rant: If you're going to dispute my ship or try to push your ship, you need to use logic. You need to provide evidence. You need to present valid arguments. You cannot simply ignore things that don't suit your preferences. I hold myself to this, which is why I've come up with so many ways and gone so in depth in defending my ships. Don't expect me to treat your opinion as one that holds as much worth if you cannot do this.

I may or may not create another account to test out my writing, as I am only a beginning writer. I want the rewrite of Ash's journey to be my first story on this account, so other stories will probably be published on another account, then moved over here after I finish most of my rewrite of Ash's journey. You'll know which account it is if you find it: I'll put that in the profile of that account.

Found this really nice quote that I kinda agree with: "I want to write for my favorite couples, but I'm more afraid that I won't do them justice, so I simply read, and fall in love."

That's it for now. Feel free to PM me anytime.
