I’ve had a very active and varied career creating random things and sticking them online, before I went “professional,” for varying definitions of professional. In the interests of completion, I suppose I should link you off to the rest of it….
Embarrassing Anime Fanfic About Anime
Everybody goes through a phase where OMG ANIME IS THE COOLEST THING EVAR GOKU COULD BEAT UP EVERYONE. I had mine, as well. I apologize in advance for how bad some of this is. Still, my initial bout with Z-list Internet Celebrity came from anime fandom and it is a fine way to get your feet wet when it comes to writing. Can’t knock it too much. For a trip down memory lane, read on.
| Slayers Fanfic
Now 14% more accurate to canon! Except when that messes with my storytelling plans! |
|
| Slayers Reflect Slayers Chaos Slayers ReBirth (Slayers Trilogy) |
My first, and arguably best work in Slayers to date. What starts as a simple quest to find some long lost magic eventually steamrolls into a battle for the fate of the world, digging deep into the backstory of Slayers (which I mostly made up as I went along, so canon twonks need not apply.) Won a few awards.Also pioneered my preferred writing method: using the web to publish HTMLized stories, AS I write them so I can collect suggestions and comments as I go. Moved the fanfic experience from dry finalized ASCII in an e-mail to a living, breathing website with a small community of readers. |
| Slayers Demiurge | Expanding the Slayers mythos of gods and monsters, we meet the new generation of heroes — and a new threat to the world. |
| Slayers Virtual | Impro style cyberpunk elseworlds of Slayers. Lina the hacker, Xelloss the AI, and… Gourry the tennis instructor? |
| Ranma 1/2 Fanfic
Which was actually WAY sillier than the dramatic epic that fanfic authors thought it was. |
|
| March of the Pigs | First Ranma 1/2 story I wrote. I cringe looking back at this one now, but that’s just because it has a few newbie authorisms like new characters and fanboy worship. It’s about Ryouga, his curse, and finding ways to live with it. |
| Juyza’s Lyric |
The Ranma 1/2 world as told from a more gritty, realistic perspective of a background character. A bit angsty but it works. |
| Give Peace a Chance |
Ryouga’s brother Gary Stu– err, I mean, Cosmo, shows up in town. Family business happens. |
| Ministry of Confusion 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 |
Straight cyberpunk epic; a retelling of Ranma 1/2 with biotechnology, scheming politics, plans that are never what they seem and a mix of drama and comedy. |
| Lookin’ Down the Barrel of a Glomp | What if Happosai had returned early, and dragged off Ranma for training? |
| Pulp Fanfiction |
Not too much of a Tarantino parody as much of a parody of fanfic itself, as Ryouga wanders through elseworlds. |
| Quentin Tarantino’s Ranma 1/2 | THIS one’s the Tarantino parody. :) Take Pulp Fiction’s plot and have Rumiko helm the camera and see what happens. |
| Fourth Wall | A little more weird than my earlier dips into metafanfic… a fanfic author tries to take over the Ranma universe. |
| Wicked Garden |
Kodachi’s bizarre adventure. One of the first straight dramatic pieces I’ve done for Ranma. |
| Money | Part of a Halloween fanfic challenge, I wrote a story about greed, damnation, the afterlife, torment and Nabiki. Whee! |
| Hiroshi and Daisuke are Dead | …and then I got sick and tired of darkfic, and the conventions that had popped up surrounding it, and decided to bury the bloody hatched once and for all. In a fun way! |
| The Ends | My farewell to Ranma 1/2, and my condemnation of it. |
| Misc. Fanfic
Odds and ends, this and that. |
|
| Magical Troubleshooting Crossover Fighting Tournament BETA |
Oh, man… this was crazy. A ton of obscure or underdog characters across lots of animes and games jammed into a tournament, with the prize being the office of God the Almighty. Readers would vote on who would win and who would lose each round. And it led right to… |
| mtcff ULTRA | The one, the only… ULTRA. Your weekly dose of impro-style fighting fun. A continuation of Beta (but you don’t have to have read it to enjoy this), we go episodic with plots and rivalries expanding across multiple seasons, shifting and evolving… great stuff. And there’s lots of asskicking! |
| Riding Bean: The Quickening |
A script for a parody fansub/fandub of the anime “Riding Bean.” |
| Dangerous Toys |
Another parody script, this time for Bubblegum Crisis 8. Has photography, powered armor, lesbians, fourth wall breakage and very obscure humor. |
Even Older Stuff That’s REALLY Old
In the interests on completion, there’s also a ton of non-anime ancient writings of mine which exist on the net. Some of which are not in fact writing at all, but odd attempts at art, music, or film critique. I’m a creative dabbler, and my dabbling drabbles are here for all the world to see. Most of this was crafted in the nineties, before the Internet could properly be considered the Internet…
| A Future We’d Like to See |
I did some writing before, in elementary school… but this is what started it all in a more recent sense. Done in sophmore year high school and probably VERY wobbly compared to my recent stuff, some folks still swear by it as my defining work. You make the call. |
| Spatula City | Early 90’s Internet Humor. Back in my day, we didn’t have any fancy XML or cascading style sheets! We had Netscape 1.1 with the big throbbing N and we LIKED IT! … anyway, this is a nice museum piece of early ’90s college student driven internet humor pages. Unchanged since its release and a neat nostalgia trip. |
| The Really Big Button That Doesn’t Do Anything |
Early 90’s Internet Humor. Actually a sub-page of Spatula City, but since it’s gotten writeups in Time, Newsweek, Spa! and many other magazines, I figured I’d list it seperately… and yes, the name does really say it all… |
| Pong Kombat | Game parody. It’s the high school project that would not die. Pong, Mortal Kombat, a blend of the two with a dash of humor and you have one of the most popular things I’ve ever made. It’s 6 years old, I’ll warn. I don’t think it even works on modern computers anymore. |
| Multiplex Mangler | Sarcastic movie reviews. I take screenshots. I post screenshots. I write up absurd commentary. It’s funny. Laugh. Haven’t worked on this in years, so consider it archival material. |
| Plastic World | Incredibly terrible art gallery. My early 3-D rendering artwork. I don’t do much of this style anymore, so it’s neat to see how groovy I made plastic objects look. |
