Memorable quotes from my fics? Hmm... This is hard to decide, there are a lot of quotes from them that I like. xP

For example, the fight between Soren and Ranulf over who would be best man in Ike and Elincia's wedding in Fire Emblem: Dawn of Darkness is pretty memorable lol. It's downright hilarious. XD

An example of a different sort of memorable conversation from the same story would be the one between Bryan and Faline during the evening the group stayed in Fort Hector. They explain why they fell in love with one another and Faline makes an interesting confession.

Lastly, a quote from Leyon during chapter 28. He tells Azura "The best leaders aren't the ones who never make mistakes, because that's not possible. The best leaders are the ones who learn from their mistakes. You did that, better than that, in fact, by figuring out how to help me get my memory back. You took responsibility for what went wrong and you put it to rights. That is what makes a leader." My co-author actually came up with this one, but it's still awesome, imo.

There are some memorable quotes in my Zelda fic as well, btw. In fact, I think the best comes from a lone diary entry Judo left behind. It causes Kelli to get very emotional since he's her childhood best friend. Judo tells her that he's going to stay strong and make her proud and such.

Navi also has some funny lines since she loves to tease Link. :P

Of course, since these stories aren't finished yet, there will be more memorable quotes to come! :D

Lastly, memorable quotes in My Conquest, the Cilan fic I mentioned earlier. Simply put, I liked "This is what I must do. This is my conquest." best. The line that makes the title and the story itself.

I'd bring up some memorable quotes from my Super Luigi fic as well, but I haven't posted it yet.

Well, this is from the preview a story that I did

"You've protected me all this time... Today... it's my turn to protect you!"

It's as cliched as you get it, I guess, but I still like it :P

Oh, and then there's this scene from an original (discontinued) story where two of the characters are sitting under a tree on a hill, overlooking a large field of sunflowers. They've had this long conversation about gods and religion and in the end the guy just says something like..

"Isn't it wonderful, though?

...just this world?"

Oh, and there's this really amusing fic I wrote way back that I've entirely forgotten about, it's a Ouran High School/Star Wars crossover which is nothing short of a crack fic. It was hilarious the last time I read it >o< I'll post it despite all the potential embarassment if I find it again.

"[...]if you're not one for battling, then relax, don't battle. I'll catch a team of strong, friendly pokemon. They'll protect you, they'll fight in your stead."
A character in a story-soon-to-come, to her starter pokemon, who isn't much of a battler at heart.

My favorite, though, is this one: "Who are you?" Such simple a question, yet so boundlessly intriguing and thought-provoking!

Hey guys, what's up? I know I haven't posted in a while, but I want you to know the next 2 (possibly 3) chapters will be out by TOMORROW for my fic. I also have this big project coming out from me, so stayed tuned for that as well.

It's always dawn somewhere.

[ectoBiologist]

“I promise; I will stay.”

I'm supposed to be writing and studying for my exams. But I started watching House today >o< God that show is so awesome, even though the little hipster inside of me really wants me to hate it.

I'm sixteen, I turn seventeen two days before the last final, then (the equivalent of)high school is over, fi-na-lly.

Wow, that's funny I've been not studying and watching House for the past week, but I gotta stop and start studying, my parents are pissed. -_-

My parents stopped bugging me about homework the day I got an A on an exam without having opened the course book during the year... :P

I'm pretty young, too. Currently 17, but tomorrow will mark one month until my 18th birthday.

Funny, that happens to me a lot... they don't care.

I've never been very good at making eloquent quotes, they all come out as too cheesy. The few examples that I am somewhat proud of:

"Some secrets are worth more than a satisfied curiosity."

"I’ve gone too long without any scars to remind me of my mistakes."

And a quick excerpt that I consider the funniest piece in my fic:

"Koga looked at Tim for a second before responding. “Ah,” he said, “I see how it is. At least you didn’t catch him as a so called “dex-filler.” I can tell you aren’t one of those crazy people that goes around trying to “catch ‘em all.” What a ridiculous idea. Well my boy, we all do it at some point or another. You can’t use every Pokémon you catch!”"

Because let's be honest, that is a pretty ridiculous idea.


Anyway, I'm also seventeen (eighteen on Monday!). That seems to be about average, maybe a little on the young side for this specific community. Likewise, senior year is coming to an end and finals are approaching quickly. AP Physics and AP Government tests next Monday and Tuesday, hooray! Good luck to you all.
