IridiumRing92hide bio
 Author has written 14 stories for Final Fantasy XIII-2, Final Fantasy VII, Kingdom Hearts, Lightning Returns: Final Fantasy XIII, Fire Emblem, and Final Fantasy XIII. "Be regular and orderly in your life, so that you may be violent and original in your work." ~ G. Flaubert Me: Writer, musician, ex-athlete, gamer. Favorite fandoms here: Final Fantasy & Kingdom Hearts. (Find me on AO3. I'm still IridiumRing92.) Other games I like: Xenoblade, Harvest Moon, Fire Emblem, Chrono Trigger, Persona, Tales... The list goes on. Music: Linkin Park. Bullet for My Valentine. blessthefall. Of Mice & Men. I'm a terrible multishipper. Not gonna lie. I'll basically write any pairing if I approve and can find evidence of it somewhere. I'll swear never to write a certain pairing and then someone will convince me it's legit and I'll start shipping it anyway. -_-" I feel like writing certain categories only during certain seasons, because that's when I first got into them. So I'll write FFXIII from spring to fall, FFVII in winter, and Kingdom Hearts in winter and summer. Those are just some examples. That's why I don't update some of my stories for long periods of time... Meanwhile, here's something I found interesting that @ffvii since '97 wrote about my username... "Not too long ago I wanted to try my hand at writing an AeriSeph fic, and in looking for a name, I stumbled upon Iridium, the element with atomic number 77 on the periodic table. Funny enough, Iridium is silvery in color, found on meteorites and is flammable...funny that Sephiroth has silver hair, can be considered flammable since he burnt down Nibelheim in a fit of burning rage, and ultimately wanted to summon meteor." Notices for current works: Reunion in Academia (Final Fantasy XIII-2) / This one is complete, but guess what?? I finally started writing the damn sequel. Who knows if it'll ever get posted. I'm working on some other things too... Okay, a lot of other things... I've been posting pretty infrequently lately, so if you're waiting on me, never fear, I haven't died. Probably. Lastly, if you have any suggestions/comments for me, please feel free to let me know! :) |
