I always forget that you write. This might be a bad question but do you post it anywhere?

No, that’s a good question.    I’m always worried people are fed up with me promoting my work, but every once in a while someone asks about it, which means I’m probably not promoting it enough.

I’ve done fanfic for a long time, but all the stuff I’ve done since 2015 is on AO3.   I may add my older stuff one of these days, but I’ve been on an hot streak lately, so I’m more focused on the new material.

I haven’t listed my AO3 selection in a while, and I’ve added a few since then, so this seems like a good time to do that again.

Ballistics is a one-shot I wrote after watching Hellsing Ultimate in 2016.  Seras Victoria is my favorite Hellsing character, and I just really like the complex relationship she has with Alucard.   They fit into different archetypes, where she’s a cop who just happens to have vampire powers, and he’s a Lovecraftian horror who happens to fight crime.   Unfortunately, it seems like most fans just want to see them make out or whatever, so I wrote my own thing to do it the way I wanted.  

The Long Way is the story of how Goku finally got his driver’s license.   This was technically explained during the Cell Games Saga where Goku drove his family to a picnic, but I wanted to expand on that.   Really, the answer was pretty simple: Goku just tried again and took it seriously this time, so I ended up getting more into why he took it more seriously.   Part of the answer: Have you seen Chi-Chi?  She’s pretty hot.

Alice-in-Chains was part of a Secret Santa thing I did in 2017.   I asked @glintea which JoJo part was his favorite, and he said Part 5.   I would have asked more questions to narrow down specific elements he would have liked to have seen, but I was afraid of telegraphing his present, and I was uncertain enough about writing Part 5 fic to begin with.   So I confined myself to writing a Stand battle featuring as much of the main cast as possible, and trying to make it fit into continuity as seamlessly as I could.  Along the way, I realized these characters were actually pretty fun to write.

The Third Wheel is something I wrote for Caulikale Week back in May of this year.  I’ve never done slash fic before, but I really like Caulifla and Kale, so this seemed like a good way to give it a try.  I’m not sure I quite pulled it off, but all the feedback has been positive, so I guess I did something right.   I’m pretty sure I’m the first person to write Dr. Rota prose.  

What the Right Hand is Doing is a story I wrote for Launch Week last month.   I’m kind of proud of it because I never really took Launch seriously as a character before I started working on this, and when the dust settled I actually managed to write a whole story with her as the only character. 

Luffa: The Legendary Super Saiyan is what I probably should be working on right now, but I’ve been plugging away on that for three years now, so it can wait a while longer.  This was based on an idea I had around 2004 or so, back when I had ideas for Dragon Ball fanfic but didn’t know there was an audience for them.  

Basically, I read a lot of GameFaqs boards in the mid-2000′s, and got fed up with fanboys dismissing the idea of female Super Saiyans as impossible.  Around the same time, I thought a lot about what the “original” Super Saiyan was like, since all we know comes from Vegeta’s flashback in DBZ Episode #66.   And it occurred to me that it would be pretty subversive to not just write a female Super Saiyan, but to make her THE Super Saiyan, the one Vegeta looked up to, the one Broly was supposed to resemble.  

Accordingly, I designed the character to be a sort of anti-Broly.  She has good reasons to be upset enough to turn into a rampaging monster, and she refuses to become a remorseless killing machine.   I also wanted to defy Vegeta’s expectations wherever possible, which is why she’s even shorter than he is and she’s more successful with women.

I’ve never been too crazy about the hair options in the Xenoverse games, but they did help me get motivated to write the character’s story, and my goal is to cover her career at least as far as my playthrough of Xenoverse 1.   So at some point... some day... Trunks and Demigra will be in this thing.  But I got some business to wrap up in the distant past before we can get to that.
