Hello! Nice to meet you, I'm FlightInstructor, or just Flight if you want something more snappy. Welcome to my profile page!


Who are you? I'm a relatively new fanfic writer, I started my first piece in August 2018.

Are you new to the writing business? Hell yeah! This is my first experience ever. I've never written the semblance of a story in my whole life. Not even in school as part of an essay, since I got into a technical school. When I started writing, I had to develop my basic writing skills from the ground up and was not taught whatsoever.

Are you an English Second Language? Yes, I am. English is not my first language, but I can understand speech like an Englishman thanks to my YouTube habits. I'm still shaky at talking... guess I need to practice more.

Are you an internet denizen? Yes...

What do you like to read? Since I was able to read properly, I've been an avid reader of all kinds of literature. I picked up mostly murder mysteries, sci-fi, fantasy and historical original narrative works. Some of my favorite series are Agatha Christie's Poirot, Asimov books, Harry Potter, The Lord of the Rings, Narnia, Bernard Cornwell's The Warlord Chronicles... I was a prolific public library customer. Then, with the advent of internet in my home, I started to read trashy Japanese light novels translated into English.

What about fanfiction? I'm into anime since 2004 and some years later I stumbled into some incredibly epic 1,5M words Evangelion fanfiction that I just ate in a couple of days. I don't remember the title, it was a Shinji x Asuka sequel fic post-EoE where everyone slowly returns from the LCL sea and builds back up civilization, starring a more proactive Shinji that regularly gets into the robot and pwns all kinds of new angels in a more shounen-esque way. That one broke me into fanworks and made me realize that the so-called original works were incredibly overrated.

What do you like to write or read about? I feel a knack for science-related stuff, mystery thrillers with psychological elements, battles of wits and courage. I'm more into serious type of stories, not being comfortable with works of pure comedy. In my writing I tend to add minor comic elements in order to be a little more approachable, but I'm not into trollfics or wacky stuff. I like romance and the psychology behind it, I tend to like to show a solid drama department and I believe a moment without good character development is a wasted one.

Do you write about politics? No, but you can argue that art is inherently political and I can show you the middle finger.

Are you a flight instructor? No! Surprised? I chose that name because I like the themes associated with flight: freedom, adrenaline and a nice view.

What fandoms are you writing into? The anime Darling in the FranXX 'convinced' me to give the fanfiction business a go. I was invested into the setting and the world-building of the show and, when the second season dropped the ball harder than Hiroshima, I couldn't help but do something to express my disappointment. And you must believe me that my hands were literally shaking after that!

Will you take on more fandoms? Yeah, eventually. Check my work list for updates.


WORK UPDATE LIST:

Learn to Fly

Status: making the 1st Anniversary extra chapter.

This one's going to be different from the other chapters, radically so.

Sugary Metro Rush

Status: completed.

A Zorome X Miku one-shot written for the 5k words limit /r/DarlingInTheFranxx fanfiction challenge. This got me the fourth place out of eight behind some very experienced and loved writers, so I'm quite OK with this. It was developed as a Learn to Fly prequel side story. Might expand this into a 15k-plus fanfic in the future, I had more ideas to add into it but the word limit sawed my legs off in terms of scenes and dialogue.

An (In)temporary Measure by SarcasticShepard
It takes time to build a FranXX, and even more time to raise and train the pistils and stamen needed to pilot one. Before those first generations of children fought the Klaxosaurs, there was another group, no less dedicated, but still destined to be forgotten. This is the story of the last of their numbers.
