Just my FF Profile

Hello. MoD here. I suppose I should have some general info here, but the truth is I'm sort of a lazy arse when it comes to updating my profile. As you could tell.
As of recently I've decided to stay on Fanfiction, with no set out plans. I don't really do any lengthy ongoing epics, just short stories that are anywhere between 3k-10k words on average. Sometimes I have little drabbles, but not often. I just find it easier to write full stories succinctly enough to read in one sitting. Oddly enough my quieter pieces are longer (Paradigms, my biggest work, 9 chapters and 30k words) while my epics are more contained (Play, 8k words). I work in unusual ways. It's why I have nearly 60 pieces under my belt.
My paragraph of personal description is below, at the bottom of all this stuff.
I usually stick to the Super Smash Brothers section, as it really sparks one's creativity to have thirty-something diverse characters at one's disposal without having to condemn yourself to the arid, arid desert known as the Crossover section. Out of the Nintendo universe, I prefer the Mario world (so whimsical and simplistic while having so much to spark the imagination) but the character I use the most is arguably Samus Aran, bounty hunter of deep space. She is a very interesting character to work with which is why she pops up in most of my fics.
I also am open to interpreting characters in different ways from fic to fic. My most notable example of this is Princess Zelda, who has ranged from heroine to antagonist and everywhere in between. I don't really swear to one set interpretation, although I have my preferences.
I'm an open-minded writer and reader. I'll read stories with same-gender pairings if it's good. I'm recently getting comfortable with more M rated fics, and I enjoy outlandish concepts every now and again. I've recently written my first same-gender story, Samskeyti, which was an eye-opening experience. I also want to write a m/m pairing story, which I don't often see from male authors. Seeing as I am a straight male it'd be an interesting thing to try. But love is love, and I definitely embrace it in all forms.
(Hell, maybe I'll be caught off guard and settle down with a nice man in my life. You never know, honestly.)
I'm a free spirit as far as sections go. If I have an idea, I'll write it, even in sections I'm less familiar in. I've been branching out to TV shows lately and I'm open to try one for movies, animation, and books and such. I probably won't get into anime as it's not my style, though. Just preference. I'll read any good story in any section; in fact my favorites section I have nearly 190 stories from forty-four sections. I do love every story in my favorites, as well.
As for communities, I'm a relatively active member in the Reviews Lounge, too, a lovely little forum that helps bring attention and reviews to under-critiqued authors and stories. It's a good place to turn to if you don't get much activity on your work. They're totally nice people, incredibly intelligent, and great authors as well.
Update: I've actually taken a job there as an archiver, who adds new work to their archive. We add a story in there, and then it falls to other people in our forums to take a look and review them so that way those stories get the love they deserve. Who knows, maybe your story will pop up in the archive and even win Story of the Week! If I don't chance upon your story, then feel free to submit your work to being optioned and take your chances.
Thanks for stopping to take a look. I'll ramble a bit about the works I'm most proud of, and then about the people who have had the biggest impact on me as a fanfiction writer, and those who just create work I'm highly proud of.
Enjoy!
MoD

If you are visiting here, I'll admit openly that I take pride in my works. I won't claim to be the best or to shine the brightest but I don't regret anything I've written, any rebellion I've started or anything I've done. I hope you'll like them too, and I daresay I think you will. I listed the works I enjoyed writing the most and I hope you'll take a look at them.
Viva La Vida
I still wonder how I did this one. I don't know if I'll ever be able to top it. I just rolled with the flow of the story, and with the Coldplay songs that influenced it, and edited a few times... the characters feel original and like my own, and I feel like I did it justice. So proud of it, and humbled by it. Humbled because I'm thankful for the talent I've been granted by whoever's above.
A Seat Above A Galaxy
I love when I can write something that means something to people, and this does, to people I've never talked to, and that makes me feel like I can do things in this world.
Samskeyti (third in LLB/GSG's Body-Switching Contest)
This was a very difficult work to write, mostly because I wanted a well-written story done of a pairing I hadn't considered in a style that was new to me for a contest that struck me as unusual. I'm very happy I wrote it, though, and enjoyed the experience heartily. The help I got from other author(esse)s was very insightful and uplifting, and I truly learned how to write masterfully through this work.
Skyward to Freedom (2nd of... 3 :P in TwilightOkami's Contest)
Had a blast writing it, and rereading it. :P It just captures a spirit of fun that seems to lack in other works that have heavier elements in them.
Adventures
Love the Ice Climbers, and thankfully Ace does too, so I wrote this for her birthday. This was originally going to revolve around Diddy and Dixie Kong, but a few changes of heart later, I paid tribute to the best Smashers ever... besides five others. :P
Paradigms (Winner of Souldin's Contest)
My first contest win (I'm still forever grateful) I'm proud of the piece, the dynamics, the morals, and the message I live by in fanfiction- characters are a lot more complex than they seem, especially in Nintendo. Those elements make up for the occasional flaw in it.
Also, I've decided against finishing it. I had a whole great plot idea that I still think is good... but it'd change everything, ya know, and I like it the way it is.
Kaze
Writing in a mostly lifeless section was really more of a personal choice. I wanted to take an interesting yet incredibly minor character (essentially a picture, a car and a mini-bio) and construct a story for her off of that. I enjoyed writing it, and it turned out well.
Memento Vita
I always try and do my best work for birthday gifts, and this was no exception, although the approach was different. The response I'm getting to it, though, is underwhelming. I took a dash of inspiration from two famous fanfictions, Alone at the Water in the Sherlock section and Letters from the Sky in the Hunger Games section, yet create a world that was my own. Using Junction City for the template in the most evident way yet was also enjoyable, and I'm glad to have written this. It's currently in progress but all the chapters are done; I'm just editing them all.
The World Is Quiet Here/The World is Noisy Here
When I got praise by Byoshi, Souldin, Picasso (a very very, er, picky person) and Ace for this work, I felt amazing since I love Byoshi's work, Souldin has a very critical eye, Picasso likes only one other Smash Bros work (Byoshi's, duh) and Ace is just awesomeness. When I wrote the sequel to it, I felt as if I wrote something more personal than I anticipated and it felt great.
Surviving Through It All
I should feel bad that this made my best friend weep vehemently, but... I guess it speaks for the story. I'm still shaken by it, honestly. How did I do this?
Beautiful Imprefection
I wrote it for a close friend, and the message impacted several others. It's an honor.
Pacifist Victors on a Champagne Battlefield
Still unsure about the dance scene, but I had a ton of fun writing Falco and Sheik together.
Voice of the Mute (tentatively second in Jimbo's Romance Contest- technicalities kept it from first but I admit wholeheartedly that Layla's work was a masterpiece and deserved a million wins. :D)
Maybe my most critically acclaimed work- it's Souldin's favorite from me, Jimbo obviously liked it and so did Fox and a ton of other authors I nearly worship. This was a huge leap for me, as otherwise I always played it safe. Maybe this is my 'renissance'
My three chapters of Halloweenness in MouseMaster42's The Game
I got to write THREE CHAPTERS for the best Smash Bros fic still alive today. How awesome is that? And she loved it, and I love her work, and it was just like a big giant hug. :D
Play
I believe this turned out excellently, as a character study and as my first true action work. Wolf really is a great character to write as and I loved doing so.
The Legend of Zelda Shall Never Die
I still regret having messed up all those facts about the games themselves, but I still enjoyed writing this for Foxpilot's birthday. It really was a difficult challenge but I think errors aside I did pretty well.
Journey of a Century
This one was emotionally a challenge to write, but effortless as well. I didn't have a plot in mind; Mario really took me on a journey and I just took notes. I hope this tribute to the legacy of Mario stands tall because he is such a legendary character.
Pacifist Victors on a Champagne Battlefield
It was nice to let my inner artist flash vibrantly. This piece is, troll wars or no, a grand experiment with a friendship and relationship that was among my best works.
Smokers Outside the Hospital Doors
I'm seriously surprised at how much I nailed the character of Goren, as I had never even considered writing for the show before that day. It was, admittedly, inspired by the death of Amy Winehouse, which made me think of the self-destructive habits of people who are so much more than they think they are.
The Last Slumber of Mary and Marshall
I have always loved the dynamic between the two headliners of In Plain Sight. This idea was one I had toyed with for awhile and I think I executed it well.
No matter what, I'm glad to have written pieces I was proud of, and I really am happy with all 60 of them.

A bit more about my Nintendo Tribute Installments.
These more or less banded together by accident, just because I prefer to write a good epic for gifts, but come to think of it I've really created a set out of these types of fics, so I've officially branded it.
My Nintendo Tribute fics are essentially fanfics that summarize the history, spirit, love, magic and legacy of a Nintendo game or characters. Usually, they take place anywhere between a few days or years after the main events. In some instances, canon is addressed, in others, canon is invented from scratch. The purpose of these is not only to provide the recipient with a brilliant story, but to profess my love and admiration of a certain Nintendo universe, game or characters.
Here's a bit more about each one!
Installment 1: The Legend of Zelda Shall Never Die
This is primarily notable for two things- One, it is the inaugural installment of this yet-to-be-organized sort of giftfic tradition, and Two- completely misunderstanding canon. Yes, I drew some flak for getting things hilariously wrong. Primarily it was related to the Timeline Theory, which I had no understanding of, since I was really new to the Legend of Zelda universe. So I presumed that, as with Mario, all of these stories had a single-timeline canon. And I mushed them all together. Which, apparently, was wrong, wrong, wrong.
Luckily, to reassure myself, Foxpilot himself, the man who received my gift, told me
"Basically, the war you wrote is likely to not have happened. Normally I'd be annoyed with this. Not incredibly, but still. In fact, this is a normal case in that respect. However, you should never, ever change that part. It's so integral and interesting that changing it would destroy the story you've created."

So there's that, I guess.
The story itself is inspired by this oh-my-god-squee commercial for Ocarina of Time 3D, where Robin Williams, in full awesomely-aging Mandy Patinkin beard, talks about the Legend of Zelda with his adult daughter, Zelda. From there, I just leapt into it, my Elder-Williams inspired King Link and his adult daughter Zelda II finally, fully discuss her mother's legacy, The Legend of Zelda.
(I'll write more later/eventually/hopefully)

Where the hell would I be on this site without good friends? I have many people to thank, from authors I've talked to once or twice to authors who have become some of the most important people in my life. And they deserve a mention, they really do. The very least I could do.
Autistic: You are pretty much one of the coolest cats I know. You write well, you overcome your obstacles and use it for good. That I can respect. You also read more fics than Souldin and I combined which is badass. :D Your drive to learn won't be forgotten.
Byoshi- You were and still are the ruler of Smash Bros fanfiction. You see the characters in such a deep light and so fleshed out that you are a huge inspiration for me. And you needn't worry about if you're doing good or if you should keep it up. This section is honored to have you. Thanks for being an exceptional beta reader and an exceptional author. Your skill and effort won't be forgotten.
Tune4Toons- You're just flipping awesome. You say I inspired you, and now you inspire me. You're a dear friend, a good conversant, and a loyal person with incredible writing skill. You're just a joy to have around! Your exuberant presence and constant life as a source of inspiration won't be forgotten.
GenericDude- Why is it I just now noticed what a terrific author you are? You wrote the first fic that, even with all its flaws, kept me happy and dwelling on it for a week after. When I thought about it I'd smile real wide. And you're even better now. Keep it up. Your constant ability to write won't be forgotten.
Guessworks- You know more about what it's like to be a human than most anyone I've met. You're incredibly intelligent, incredibly real and damn good at what you do. It's always incredible when someone you admire to death admires you just as much and neither of you really know it. :D Your passion and love for your work won't be forgotten.
TheDeathFrisbee- You're an absolute boss. You're a tough critic but that's excellent as far as I'm concerned. You're pretty much the queen of grammar, and you're incredibly smart to boot. :) You write like a classical genius and you're a ton of fun. You and your chapter titles named after classical music and all the other great qualities that come with you won't be forgotten.
JSparks- I'll go up to bat for you anyday. You're one of the single sweetest, kindest people ever, but you are brave as hell, girl. And don't say you're not, you are. And also, you don't owe me a damn thing for me standing up for you after all that happened. And f@%k the haters. They're the losers, they aren't friends with you. Your bravery in the face of adversity won't be forgotten.
James Terrazen- For the life in me... I don't know where the hell you came from with your random reviews, but you're one of the coolest dudes I know with your awesome one liner reviews and having the gumption to be one of the few who will be harsh on a bad fic without being a tool. People could learn from your example. Also, the fact that you went to bat for JSparks just defined you as a brave, incredible individual as I didn't know you were that rooted into the community and its members. Your gumption and rebellious spirit won't be forgotten.
Kattheamazing- You're one of the coolest cats I've ever met. You're totally crazy but without going all Pikana about it. (Sorry Pika! You rule too!) You've also been incredibly loyal, always keeping in touch, and going the extra mile for a friend. Very happy to have met you. :D Your humor and bright spirit won't be forgotten.
GoldFountain- Thanks for giving me faith in the Smash Section again with such brilliant, gutsy and original writing. Never doubt that you have incredible talent, because I won't forget it.
EHWIES- You were a brilliant introduction to the Reviews Lounge, too. Your inclusion of my story into your archives and then as story of the week made me feel like a true author for the first time. You're highly intelligent, infectiously spirited and just overall brightness. Your cheerful outreach won't be forgotten.
Foxpilot- You're like the big internet brother I never had; very welcome as I always wanted an older sibling. You're incredibly helpful, not afraid to criticize, honest, professional, crazy, friendly, unprofessional, skilled, humble, proud... you're what makes a human being, and a damn good one at that. The Smash Bros section owes so much to you... and so do many aspiring authors, like me. Your commitment to the growth of many new authors, myself included, won't be forgotten. I owe you a lot in particular.
The Stupendous Jimbo- You write hilarious, scathing commentary... and you're, like, the most humble, good spirited guy. You're a ton of fun to shoot the breeze with and a damn funny person (of course.) You're a strong asset to the history of this here Smash Bros. section. Your subtle intelligence and biting wit won't be forgotten.
kyouji kanji- I don't know you as much as I do the others but for someone of your genre you're just as chill as us gamer kids. And you're a damn good author as well- you should try screenwriting, ya know? Your immaculate work and humble charm won't be forgotten.
RedheadedMarina- You are a fascinating writer and such an uplifting person. You flatter me with your compliments, really you do, but I'm thankful for them. Your support and the way you boost one's spirits won't be forgotten.
Layla.Kagamine/Romeo.Cinderella/yournamewillprobablybedifferentbythetimeIeditthisagain- You're one of the few people who can write works that I literally fell in love with. You're a very sweet person as well. We need more hopeless romantics like you in the world. Your beautiful rose tint won't ever be forgotten.
Lightning Laveau- You're one of those people who are just so much fun to watch- in their writing and outside of it. Simple as that. Your infectious happiness and your brilliant work won't be forgotten.
Desktop Warrior (aka Time!)- People as willingly helpful and cordial as you are a blessing to have, especially for such a newbie to the RLt as I was. Thanks for going out of your way to help me play Review Tag. Your efforts to better the RLt won't be forgotten.
MouseMaster42- You're one of the single most open, welcoming and outgoing people I've met. You address every reviewer cordially and you are a true friend. I mean... do you know how awesome you are? You are, like, one of the most grateful, humble people I've seen- do you know that I think you are perhaps more cool than you think of me? Your love for your following and your confident humility won't be forgotten.
lovely-logic- Cheers to a lady with kind words, incredible writing talent, spirited demeanor and constructive criticism. You truly are a lovely person and I'm glad you're here. Your skill and the smiles you bring won't be forgotten.
Pikana- You know, I have to respect that you don't give a damn about anything anyone thinks or any boundaries about anything. You are who you are- you write yaoi, yuri, incest, anything that makes anyone squirm, and you date a freaking pokemon. And you're sooooooooooo effing cool. You're like Lady Gaga, but more original. :D Work the crazy and go places with it! That crazy and the guts behind it won't be forgotten.
Sigcius- You're the first author and story I ever favorited, and it was nice not only to read an amazing story (and I'm actually rereading it in the last few days) but to see an author I identified with, especially reading the process and behind the scenes. If you could do it, hell, maybe I could too! Your mastercrafted work and how you introduced me to Fanfiction won't be forgotten.
Soundwave0107- You were the first person to review me, and you gave me a great review. I was super worried this site was going to be all formal and d%#chey, but you busted that notion in half. A great welcoming committee and what really inspired me to make friends here. Your friendly welcome won't be forgotten.
Ze Dybbuk- You're gut-bustingly hilarious, inside fics and in normal conversation. You also know you're pretty cool, and I like that. And you still owe me that drawing, but hey, you said before the four horsemen of death stomp the earth and that hasn't happened yet. xD Your being the coolest of all cats won't be forgotten.
Souldin- I know that techincally we were bound by law ;) but not only was it an honor to win the Review King's contest, but to have you continuously review all 40 of my fics without complaint or fail, and being completely unbiased while still being a friend and cordial and all that. Thanks for everything! Your hard work into all of those reviews and how they shaped the way I write now (as well as the two "Astonishing job, keep up the fantastic work"s) won't be forgotten.
PitFTW- You do damn good work and incredibly good contests. The AU contest you did with Foxpilot was what got me started in Ficcing and then revitalizing my writing altogether. Thanks! The way you provided the drive for many authors to start won't be forgotten.
Truetobeblue- It's always real great to see that one of my writing heroes has spontaneously favorited and loved my own works. And you're still as good as ever, and as friendly as ever- in fact, thanks for the preview on your next story! Your idealistic influence won't be forgotten.
hardly loquacious- Haha, and I thought I was a workhorse. You did a whole month's work of fics in a row, and here's the thing- they were all so awesome! You are the writer to go to for excellent Mentalist fics, and you're like the nicest person to boot. Also, your username is awesome. Turns out when you search hardly l, your name is one of the first results! :D That's something. Your remarkable passion for all the pieces you do won't be forgotten.
Joebthegreat- You're a bit uncouth at times, but that's part of what makes you cool- even when you're totally rude, you're still genuinely a good guy. :D Your brash honesty won't be forgotten.
CharmyMew- I remember you most for being an eloquent fan who is incredibly kind in her reviews. You really made a difference and you're encouraging me to this day. That eloquence, especially for someone as selectively mute as you, is remarkable and won't be forgotten.
Lays- It's not everyday you review a two year old fic and the author responds and is totally willing to talk and share ideas and accept advice. Even if I didn't keep in touch (I'm so sorry!) you were a great conversant. Never worry about your replies being too long. ;) Your effort in your correspondence won't be forgotten.
Tealfrog26- I'm still a big fan. You're truly underrated and very brilliant, and you bring out humanity from anywhere. That won't be forgotten.
EggplantWitch- At first I knew you as the girl who left me tough reviews on Strings. You're like one of the kindest people, though... which seems to be a recurring theme around here with my friends. You've got that special sort of kind charm, where you instantly want to befriend them. Thanks for being honest, too. :D Your constructive criticism and your perseverance won't be forgotten.
Sweswe: Your humility is completely charming, as is your sense of humor and personal open-ness, and you write amazingly. Never forget that. You won't be forgotten.
and of course, Araceli L. God, girl. You're one of the best friends I've ever had. I don't know what compliment I haven't given you, but... every kind word I've said that you accepted with a quick blush (or as close as you get over text), just know that I really mean everything I said. Every damn thing. ;) (get it? Damn's an in joke... hahahaha?) I owe you a lot. You're a great author, an amazing friend, and you should know that, like, everyone thinks you're awesome. I won't ever, ever forget you, because hopefully I'll never have reason to need to only remember you. I hope to be something permanent for you as you are for me. I never will regret meeting you.

Thanks for everything, everyone. I owe you more than you'll ever know. I'll never forget any of you, this I promise.

Time changes everything, including my moods and maybe my writing, but it'll never change me.
I am MoD. I'm an 18 year old autistic artist. I love to write and I love to read people's creation. I think there are plenty of people who deserve a chance to show their writing to the world. Too many people are unaware of the talent they have, and therefore I keep aware that I am a talented person in a world of talented artists. I believe in right and proper treatment of all people, even if you don't agree with them. All people have a heart and soul and by abusing others you remove your own from your chest. Everyone in this world is capable of brilliance, but unfortunately not all of them are brilliant. The ones who are, however, shine no matter what.
And whether leaving or staying, one thing has never changed- I have owned nothing, regretted nothing, and hopefully have let you forget nothing. Nor do I ever intend to do either of those things in any remaining tenure on this site.
