Name: Hello, I'm ~Mist~ but my friends call me Kris. ;3
Age: 18
Gender: I'm a female~
Types of Writing: My specialty is Romance; it's the one genre I enjoy writing the most as well as one of my favorite concepts of people. Every single one of my stories contain love. Secondly, I like writing Comedy; it's light-hearted and can always cheer people up from what others tell me. Lastly, I love a great Adventure along with bits of Historical kind of stories.
Strong Areas: I've always been told that my description is my best weapon of all when it comes to writing. Reviewers enjoy my style of writing and like how I can provide full imagery. Others have said that they adore the amount of depth I place into the characters of every story. I truly love to explore characters and make them come to life. Everyone also enjoys my sense of humor and the feeling of adventure. I like to take up a challenge. :3 Others have enjoyed how I develop the plot, too. Character interaction is also another aspect I specialize in. I feel the language of each character is important to me and definitely impacts the story. Lastly, I like to include various forms of literary elements into my writing.
Type of Characters: A mix of seriousness and light-hearted sort of characters; it varies on each. I love to point out the point of view of every character whether it's a minor character or the protagonist themselves. Most of my characters are positive but have their dark moments. I like to work with different kinds of characters as well, doing my best to bring them all to life. I have won awards, too. =)
Current Stories: I'll make a list explaining each one.
Christmas Misunderstanding
summary One night filled with misunderstandings.
notes This one is basically a Christmas one-shot that shines on the characters of Ash and Misty. It's a fun filled romantic piece with comedy. Reviewers have told me that everyone gets into the Christmas mood when it comes to this one.
Christmas Misunderstanding has won
Best Pokeshipping One-Shot in the
Shipping Oscars 2007/2008.
Unbreakable
summary Two adults are conflicted whether to proceed to the next step while taking their relationship into consideration.
notes I find this one-shot to be my favorite of them all so far. I must warn that this one is NC-17 rated (but approved by the Shipping Mods), so I do not recommend anyone who is uncomfortable with the concept of love and passion to read it. Reviewers have loved this story; every review was positive to different sort of readers so I'm very happy with that. Like the last one-shot, this one is also Pokeshipping.
Unbreakable has won
Best Love/Sex in the
Shipping Oscars 2007/2008. If you're into romance, then this one is highly suggested by others to read.
Siempre Estoy Aqui
summary In the far away region, a spark emerges once more for two trainers.
notes Now, this one is a Multi-chaptered Pokeshipping story. Reviewers have enjoyed this story so far since all the characters are in character (if that makes any sense).
SEA is still only on the second chapter, so I have a lot of work to do for this one.
Siempre Estoy Aqui has so far won
The Fic That Got You Constantly Going "Awww" in the
Shipping Oscars. Be on the lookout for this one; updates will be coming later in the year with another chapter. This story is mostly Romance, Adventure, and Comedy.
Acceptance
summary One becomes upset at the other, thus leading the other to discover why.
notes This short one-shot is basically a recent creative assignment for one of my classes and decided to share this one on the forum. Now, unlike all the other stories I have written, this one is the shortest of all; if you like to have a quick read, this one is your match. Regardless that this one is Romance, it heavily relies on the realistic Pokeshipping everyone knows, so don't expect fluff to be in this one.
The Serebithian Crusade
summary One shipper was living in the present until discovering a mysterious book that suddenly transported her to the times of the Crusades; she realized that all the shipping wars that happened online have come to life in this once in a lifetime journey.
notes This story is the most challenging story written yet. Cap D. Blue and I worked on this one together. Now, why is this one such a challenge to write? Well, this story is based on the Crusades as well as the Shippers Community on the forum. Meaning, yes, we use the actual members for this story (with their permission of course). This one lives on Adventure mostly with the showing of Romance, Drama, and Comedy as well as the concept of
ship wars. Only the first chapter has been written so far, but it has proven to be a very fun story to write.
Future Stories: Perhaps some holiday themed one-shots shall come into the future. Otherwise, I do not have any other stories since I have two that I am working on.
Writing Tips: I have six rules when it comes to writing.
o1. Do not rush yourself. Relax, take your time. A great story becomes better when the author takes more time with it. You don't need to rush yourself just so your story will be active. I have taken months to update but my reviewers are very patient and don't mind that I take my time. You'll end up getting more positive reviews when you take a lot of time concentrating on them, trust me.
o2. Write about what
you want. Don't always write what everybody else wants; at some point, you're going to end up being unhappy with the result. Write what you
love to write. You are the author so the story is based on the concept of your imagination.
o3. Listen to constructive reviews! These kind of reviews are the most helpful kinds of all. Instead of being offended, embrace them. Not a lot of people focus on telling you about how to improve, so appreciate the reviews you get.
o4. Read over your story right after you write it. Proofread; it helps! If you cannot find any mistakes, then ask someone who knows grammar who can help you. When this is not done, it reflects laziness upon the writer and results in negative reviews than positive.
o5. When it comes to writing a story, this is what I do. I like to ask myself questions so that the reviewer will not be confused and neither with you. Ask yourself about the characters, the title, the location, the possible plot, theme, point of view, genre, etc.; these are called
literary elements. Use them. You have no idea how many stories I see that lack them. I've seen a lot of people struggle with characters, so read the next part. Be sure to answer the following when it comes to characters:
- Who are the characters?
- What is the purpose?
- Where are they?
- When are they there?
- How are they there?
o6. Use your imagination; make everything in your story come to life! Do what you specialize in. Don't be lazy. If you're lazy to even use the correct grammar when it comes to writing, then I wouldn't recommend writing. Remember to have fun with it! ;3
I hope all of that can be helpful to any writer. =)
