Currently, I write crossovers featuring Makoto/Lita from the Sailor Moon universe. Why? Well the answer is simple to me. I believe that Makoto is one of the least used character in crossovers and most misunderstood. There are so many angles available to an author writing about this lone rose! 

Evident of the fact here at FF.net, you should be able to see what I mean. Usagi fics abound in all areas, often dealing with her running off, forsaking her guy and friends (or they her) - clearly this goes against every characterization of dear Usagi during the manga and television series. Why someone would want to change Usagi from a kind hearted, happy girl, to a calloused individual who would rather bite off someone's head for a small comment, is an act that disappoints me about many 'Usagi' crossover authors. 

To further my stands, I bring forth my next case for why Makoto could (and in my opinion should) be used in crossovers more (next to Minako/Mina). The concept is: most of the inner senshi/scouts have someone to keep them in their current universe. Usagi has Mamoru/Darien to protect her and love her - Rei/Raye has her grandfather and Chad for her to love and vice-versa (I think Chad and Rei belong together. ^_^!) - Ami has her mother (a person many authors seem to have forgotten) to love and stay with, and Mina has Artemis, but I'm not so sure he counts. ~_^
Makoto (to me) just seems to be the ideal character to used in a crossover. She's energetic, courageous, able to be on her own (she's been doing it since her parent's death after all), and reliable. If Makoto was to placed in a different environment, I'm positive she would be the one to adapt to fastest and most efficiently out of all the inner scouts.

"..." If you're still reading this, you probably (1) really enjoy my stories or (2) you are at least interested in them. If either is the case then I want to warn you -- I am a college student and don't get much time to write my stories as often as other authors seem to be able to. However, I am doing my best and right now my priorities are: 

 

[1] TWA: Sailors Call

[2] The rewrite of: The 10th Warrior

[3] Lunaluz

[4] Call of Heroes

Kago Senshi has been taken down due to little interest on FF.net - I may try to bring it back at a later date.

 

The Digimon Series

Rivals For Love

Birthday Surprises

 

The 10th Warrior Universe

[01] The 10th Warrior

[02] TWA - Mission: Date

[03] TWA - Sailors Call

[04] *Gaiden* - Being planned

I finally persuaded my Mom to post her stories on FF.net! If you are a "Lost World" fan (the TV series based on Jules Verne's books) than go check her out. She's under the alias of "Pam" in my favorite author's section.
