Update Time for my yearly update? Already?

Well okay, the truth is I spend way too much time playing Everquest (if you're on the Test Server look for Jalia). But I have several things written last year that I need to put up, including all there is of "A Brief Bit Of Insanity" (not yet complete) and the finished (but still needs some editing) "Doctor Tofu Is Still Struggling In His Fight to Remain Dead". And I'm still working on Muyami Academy and hope to have one or more chapters available soon. Would be nice to finish off "I Can See Clearly Now" finally, and get my 2nd chapter of "Both Halves" out. But anyway, I'm still alive and writing some of the time. ^_^

I have my list of anime fanfiction story links on a seperate page.

Visit http://move.to/dynasty/ to see his Sydney Kyle's Dynasty web site.

I've been uploading my stories to http://www.fanfiction.net/. It's a pretty cool place with tons of fanfiction.

The Xoom bar I know it's annoying and does some weird things. I don't like it, but for free space, everyone has some kind of advertizing, and things like pop-up menus and watermarks and banners that attach to your page automatically are more annoying to me, so I have to live with it.

General Status Report Haven't written much since Spring of 2000 but I've been working on Muyami Academy recently. I am thinking of working on "I Can See Clearly Now", and "Both Halves".

Thanks for coming by! I hope you enjoy what I have here!

One day Kasumi finds an odd broach in the dirt and picks it up. Her life quickly becomes more complicated than she could have ever anticipated...

This story is 9 parts total.
These files are in html. Enjoy! And if you don't, write me anyway!

Ranma 1/2: I Can See Clearly Now!

Mousse recieves a pair of special glasses, and suddenly can see better than he's ever seen in his life... better than any normal human, in fact! Could this be his big chance to finally defeat Ranma and win Shampoo's hand?
Co-plotted with Sky and Jeff. this is also an original flavor story, in five parts.
I'll have part four out in... well, who knows?

Sky is definately not working on the illustrations, the bum.

Ranma 1/2: Seven Fiancees

Here's a story about the next generation -- not an original concept, I admit, but the feedback I got from "Decisions" convinced me to try it. After a few fits and starts, I think we're off. I hope you enjoy it! Seven Fianc�es One: A Typical Reunion Seven Fianc�es Two: Enter The Okonomiyaki Chef Seven Fianc�es Three: Head Over Heels

Ranma 1/2 & Multi-Crossover: Muyami Academy

What if everyone went to the same school? Okay, this story doesn't involve absolutely everyone, but it does involve characters from Ranma 1/2, Tenchi Muyou, Devil Hunter Yohko, Inu-Yasha, and dozens of other anime and manga shows. This is what we like to call a massive multi-crossover, and they're usually very difficult to pull off successfully.

Muyami Academy One: A Sort Of Homecoming Muyami Academy Two: Of Demons, Cures, and Curses Muyami Academy Three: Awakenings and Revelations Muyami Academy Four: A Night On The Town Muyami Academy Five: Shadows Unbound Muyami Academy Six: Tentacles of Fate Muyami Academy Seven: Schoolgirl Crush Muyami Academy Eight: A Festive Dinner Muyami Academy Nine: Round and Round Muyami Academy Ten: A Day in the Life
Lame Character Guide

Ranma 1/2: Both Halves

This is one of two open-ended storylines I'm working on at the moment. The idea is directly inspired by the fanfic "Ranma 1/2: Two Sides Of A Coin" by Benares, which itself was inspired by Ranma 1/2 tv episode #41, "Ranma wo osou kyoufuno tatari", aired on 90.08.24, and translated by VIZ as "Ranma And The Evil Within", part of their "Smells Like Evil Spirit" volume.
Benares did not complete his story, but I really liked the basic idea of splitting Ranma into two separate people, one cured forever, one cursed forever. Benares's story is very well written, but after due consideration I thought that, instead of trying to continue and complete it, I would rather write the whole thing again from a slightly different angle. In any case I'm generally more partial to a well-written prose story; whether that is what we have here is for you to decide.

How far will Ranma go to be free of his curse? Will he doom another one of him to be a girl forever? If the trap is of his own making, then can he live with the results? Or can he even learn to enjoy life as a girl? Those are some of the questions I want to explore. And yes, Ranma thinks a lot more in this story than he ever did in the manga. My plot idea wouldn't even work otherwise.
I"ve also read David Johnson's "Bie Liao", two short prose chapters that continue Benares's story. I found them on Benares's web page. (For that matter, I've discovered that my page follows Benare's in the Anime Fan Fiction Ring. You can get there by hitting "previous page". ^_^ ) These two chapters are nicely written but short and don't wrap anything up, although they point the way to a potential end. Benares's story is written very much in the tradition of the original manga, and therefore I have the feeling that the best ending for it would be to somehow bring the whole episode to a close and return things to the way they were at the beginning, which is not where David was going. I decided to start with a clean slate.

Roy Rims's "Split Personalities" was a marginal influence... he creates two Ranmas by means of water from the spring of drowned twins. Roy's story involves lemon scenes that even he eventually admits are contrived, and later there's a massive combat tournament that goes nowhere. I liked the idea that Ukyo becomes Ranma-chan's closest friend, and I liked that Kasumi takes Ranma-chan under her wing, but otherwise there wasn't too much here that inspired me.
After writing the first chapter, I read Mark Visser's story "Anything Can Happen Martial Arts" which ends unfinished after two chapters. In Mark's story Ranma left home with his father for good at age six, and Nodoko learned soon after that she was pregnant. Ranma finds out at age 16 that he has a 10-year-old sister named Noriko, who happens to look an awful lot like his female self, but younger. I liked Mark's Noriko character so much that I've borrowed her for my own tale. Strangely enough, her name appears in the first chapter of my story... Ranma reflects that he can't imagine himself as a Yoiko or a Noriko, so he's resigned to being a Ranko... Now, Yoiko was the name he claimed when he pretended to be Ryoga's little sister, but I pulled Noriko out of thin air, not realizing that it would turn out to be his sister's name... can't you just feel the mystic forces at work? ^_^
Of course, I don't have part 2 ready for you yet. To be honest, I've written a great deal on it but it's all directionless... I need to pull back and find a focus for the next several parts, as I'm not entirely sure where I want to go with all of this...

Both Halves Part 1

Ranma 1/2: Dr. Tofu Is Still Struggling In His Fight To Remain Dead

This is a sequel to the fan fiction story "Dr. Tofu Falls Into An Open Sewer And Dies" by Daniel "Yoshimato X" Gallagher. Really. I'm not joking. You have been warned. And if I get enough hate mail, I might do it again.
Why would I do this? I found the original hilarious -- not because it's a funny story, but because it even exists at all. Talk about stupid! I laughed pretty hard. And then I thought, you know, the only thing that would be stupider would be a sequel..
In the original story, no one notices that Dr. Tofu is gone. I've reinterpreted this to mean no one _important_ ever notices. In otherwords, all of the useless, background, and forgotten characters are free to notice, along with any characters that I create on the spot. You needn't take this very seriously. ^_^
I'll have this posted by... well, hopefully soon.
Daniel, by the way, has been by, and had this to say:

I cant believe you're writing a sequel to my Fic
I cant believe you liked my fic
I cant believe you read my fic.
He went on to say that, aside from a flame from the president of the Dr. Tofu fan club, he's gotten zero response to his story. He ended with an inspiring quote:

"Tragedy is when I cut my finger... Comedy is when I fall Into an open sewer and die"
I sent him a copy of my half-finished sequel -- he's the only one to see it so far -- but he never wrote back. Oh, well. Meanwhile, here's Daniel "Yoshimato X" Gallagher's strange story:

The Soul Of A Samurai

A story about Kuno. It won 3rd place in the fanfiction contest at Bakacon!

The Soul Of A Samurai

Dark

This is a Mononoke Hime fan fiction story. Not, IMO, an especially good one either... but for what it's worth, here it is.
This story was written in response to a challenge on the FFML mailing list. The idea was to write an entire story using one-syllable words. Quite a few authors responded to this, and I'm not at all sure that I was particularly more successful than the others. In fact, I'm not all that excited about the results.

Short-Shorts, Spamfics & Stupid Stuff

Here you will find some of the short and stupid non-stories that I've sent to the ffml. I disavow all knowledge of their existance, and can not be held responsible for the consequences of your reading them. Do not exceed the reccomended daily allowance.

Incidentally, if you've read my little essay on short-shorts vs. spamfics over on Saotendo's Fan Fiction page, most of what follows here qualifies as "spamfic" rather than "short-short". In other words, these are all written as jokes, and for no other purpose... well, "Best Man" is a short-short, and "A Different Kind Of Curse" probably is, too. ^_^

I like to write short-shorts (stories of just a few thousand words). They're actually harder to write well than you might at first think.

A Few Credits

Thanks to KaraOhki, Joseph Palmer, and the other fanfiction writers I've contacted, for encouraging me to write something. Thanks to Hitoshi Doi for his Ranma 1/2 tv episode synopses, which fed my hunger back when I first became addicted to the show, and Jeff Banning, for supplying me with them. Thanks to my friends and critics from our writer's group, Kristin Fontaine, David Dailey, Julie Rampke, Keith Alan Johnson, Chuck Melville, Jeffrey Cornish, Mike Yust, and especially Gene Breshears, without whom I might never have come this far as a writer. Also thanks to my anime co-conspirators, Sky Rigdon, Tom Hayes, Tom Milliorn, Tony "Heretic" Butterfield, and Jeffrey Cornish again. I get my best ideas by stealing from them. ^_^

Cool Artists!

Tom Milliorn's Space Ferrets!
Tom's a way-cool artist and, hey! He put pictures of Ryo-Crowley up! (I'm not even going to attempt to explain Ryo-Crowley to you). He's a player in my Teenagers From Outer Space rpg campaign, and he's involved in the Tai-Pan.
April Lee -- Fantasy Art and Illustration
April is a seriously way-cool artist. I met her through Elfquest fandom, and she's involved with the Tai-Pan Project (she recently illustrated two of my short-shorts!). She's pro now, with almost no time at all to do fan stuff anymore. She asked me to link her page so that people will go see it. Although she likes some anime, her art's not heavily anime influenced, but trust me, she's good, and a very nice person besides!

Cool Fanfic Writers!
