Welcome to my profile. I don’t really have much to say about myself personally. While I like to think of myself as a writer of original fiction more than one of fanfiction, I have two stories on here that I am relatively proud of, without any promises of greatness. I have currently finished both of them.

My writing tends towards the serious, interlaced with comedy when appropriate. My fanfictions are primarily speculative in nature, where I ask a “What if” question, and take the story from there. I don’t do huge alternate universes, instead focusing on single points of divergence along with fleshing out the setting, as needed.

My stories are as follows:

- The Utonium Trials is a story wherein I ask the question: “What if the Powerpuff Girls, having not physically aged from birth, were persecuted for their quasi-inhumanity?” I wanted to explore a world where the giant monsters they fight were explained. It’s generally a more realistic setting, if darker for the change (then again, you can’t get much more fluffy and light than the original canon for the Powerpuff Girls).

I like to think I put a different perspective on what the rest of the world is like, and what the girls look like in the face of those changes. I explore a little of what it must be like for the girls, who are very intelligent, otherworldly, and powerful, to grow up mentally, without physically aging, and how they might cope.

The story does not contain any romantic angles, but is violent and for mature audiences due to the graphic nature of not only the violence but for other events that occur.

- One Thousand and Counting, my second story, originally started as a single chapter, entitled “Twenty-Six Thousand Seventy-Two”. It explores the idea of “What if the Endless Eight lasted much longer than it does in the original canon?”

Don’t worry, I don’t do much repetition, so don’t expect anything like the anime’s run of episodes. I wrote it much in the style of Tanigawa’s original stream-of-consciousness Kyon, and try to capture key moments in this alternate chronic timeline.

Part two follows the aftermath of the extended time loop, and tries to tie threads together that were frayed as a result of the extended emotional backlash in Endless Eight.

Part three is my attempt to put a bow on my story, though it is frequently pointed out as rushed (it is) and not satisfying. I think I aimed my scope too high, but I wanted to show a world where, as powerful as Haruhi is, claiming she's "the god" of the universe shouldn't put her on an unassailable pedestal. I also wanted to spend more time with the books' "Anti-SOS bridgade". I think my fervor for the story and the show waned, and I became less confident in the story telling, so I do not believe part 3 is a necessary end if you'd like to skip it.

While for the most part the story is not graphic or violent, two chapters contain trigger warnings for those whom it might concern. This is the reason it has the Mature rating.

I also have a couple of one-shots for Haruhi, with a "this is how I'd do it" rare-pair Koizumi/Yuki, and a short horror story of how I think it probably is like living inside Mikuru's head.

-I am also working on various other works, including an ongoing story regarding Breath of the Wild with Zelda as the protagonist in a world with no 100 year time skip, over on Archive of our Own. (Nothing against Ff.net, I just don't like its finicky interface). You can find that under the same user name, "Ergoemos" titled Heir to Nothing.

People shout-outs:

I'd like to thank "I Before A Except After K" for his very kind recommendation outside this site. I greatly appreciate it, and don't really know how to put my gratitude into words.

Fan Fiction recommendations:

For more general fans of The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya, I recommend the following two options:

For those more serious minded, halfeatenmoon has some great contemplative work in small, emotive bites.

For those who like more fun and light-hearted, though no less thoughtful stories, I suggest Durandall’s work, who is best known for Kyon: Big Damn Hero.

I personally have never gotten into the Naruto series, mainly because I couldn’t get past how much I pretty much loathed Sasuke’s and Sakura's personalities. Fortunately, there is an amazing story that is put out by S’TarKan. Team 8 follows the line of thought of “What if Naruto was placed under the tuetelage of a thoughtful and driven jonin, on a team with Hinata and Shino?” It’s very smart and very entertaining. I’d recommend it to fans of the series or not, as it is excellently written.

As for those who might be interested in someone taking Ranma 1/2 and refocusing the scope away from gender essentialism and slapstick violence, I highly recommend Gender Sleepy, by Allison Illuminated. I've always wanted to read a thoughtful modern exploration of how difficult handling gender and sex would be for a teen like Ranma with the addition of a curse to complicate their already not wholly solid identity. Its great and heartfelt and doesn't shy away from poking at some of the less pretty parts of the Ranma 1/2 canon regading parenting and gender paradigm.
