Author has written 2 stories for Final Fantasy VII, and Inuyasha.

Name: You may call me CM.

Age: Wishing I was 29 again.

Writing Style/Goals: For the time being, I refer you to the near-essay I've written on the subject on DA.

If the above link does not work, and instead redirects to this same profile page, try creating the following url: deviantart.com [slash] cmchalice/journal/Things-to-Expect-Revision-756640326

I don't want to leave the site, though: If I could distill everything I wanted to say down into a few sentences...alas, I cannot. As an attempt I'll say this - I take pride in my work, but am terrified of sharing with the public. That said, there are a number of things I know I'm not going to consider or notice unless I have the public's help. I am always happy to hear constructive criticism, though. Also, I suggest reading the above link if you're really that interested.

Stories: Ongoing

Of Gods and Angels - ongoing - Out wandering the forest surrounding Nibelheim, contemplating the destruction of both the world and the abomination he must be, a dazed Sephiroth finds himself drawn to sounds of battle. Will his discovery lead to salvation, or allow his madness to indulge in one final sin?

Stories: Upcoming:

Rift: CodexGrey - A collection of (so far) two stories (semi-complete but require editing love). Though they're not necessarily connected directly, both share the same 'seed' - I wanted a (tastefully done, OC-centric) Sesshomaru/Sephiroth crossover story. I ended up with two very feasible ideas, and - lucky me - the works ended up having near perfectly opposing tones (and completely different stories/premise, I assure you); the light/darkness motif is a guilty pleasure as well.

Potentially, a third and fourth are on the way.

Exhale (Rift: Dark) (On Hiatus!) When madness tried to take them both, Shekhinah resisted, and was forced to fight the one closest to her. To save the planet, she sacrificed everything, following him into the Lifestream. It would seem the Lifestream had other plans for her, though. Five years later - hunted, haunted, and still able to sense the corruption in her home world - Shekhinah clings to the hope she'll return in time set things right. Memories (Rift: Light) - If Khalida knows one thing for certain, it is that she's lived at ShinRa HQ her entire life; she was different, but the company had given her a chance...in a way. Now, subjected to one final experiment - one that will either unlock her true potential, or end her life of suffering - Khalida discovers the truth behind her strange appearance and abilities. Will she fulfill the legend's prophecy, or fall victim to her bloodline's curse?

Other:

Off-site links appear to redirect back to my profile, leaving the search-y work to you, unfortunately.
Will link properly after testing and investigation.
Site - Username - Info

DeviantArt - CMChalice - will have the same stories, but in addition will contain essays, dissertations (rants if we're not using euphemisms), and other works of thought that are not necessarily fan fiction.

Archive of Our Own - CMChalice - AO3, DA, and FFnet will be updated in parallel with regards to stories. DA is the only place to find additional information, such as essays, non-fanfic, and non-fiction content.

ello.co - deltasly - It's like social media, but for the eccentric. Sometimes I draw things and post them there; other times I write cryptic snippets while wistfully remembering my teenage years, then feel a touch silly about the whole thing later. Generally I'm not big on the whole 'social' aspect of social media, though, so you won't see posts (at least posts with substance beyond screaming into the wind) very often. I haven't drawn anything in a while...

Initial Conditions by shylone reviews
(Complete, Epilogue 28 AUG) Sensitive dependence on initial conditions. The butterfly effect, the idea that any changes early on are magnified larger and larger over time, to completely change everything. Sephiroth, child SOLDIER, meets someone he has never met before. A friend. That meeting will come to change everything about whoever Sephiroth is destined to become.

Natus Ex Nihilo by Bahamut Epyon reviews
Natus Ex Nihilo: Born of Nothing.

Like a Moth to Flame by blindedstarlight reviews
Genesis was known for his legendary temper in the ShinRa Building. An unfortunate chance meeting with a plain, clumsy scientist in the confines of an elevator was the just the beginning of something that promised to be a beautiful disaster. Meanwhile, socially-awkward Sephiroth seems to have his own relationship issues. Genesis/OC Sephiroth/OC (AU- Crisis Core).

Out wandering the forest surrounding Nibelheim, contemplating the destruction of both the world and the abomination he must be, a dazed Sephiroth finds himself drawn to sounds of battle. Will his discovery lead to salvation, or allow his madness one final indulgence. (AH - I work to justify deviations from vanilla canon in context, but please feel free to ask for clarifications).
