Welcome to the official website for all of my stories. I have, throughout my time writing, gone under different aliases. My very first being "QuarashiFan2007" all the way up to "StarbucksMan274", my most recent. Despite this, I am still the same person. To aid you in finding my work, I have created the below table. There are also other links to different sections of the website that I thought you might find interesting. Nevertheless, I thank you for viewing my website, and I wish you well.
Thank you,
QuarashiFan2007/StarbucksMan274
| Name | Date Started | Date Finished | Overview |
| DOA Story 1 | January 8th, 2004 | October 14th, 2004 | My first big project. DOA Story 1 follows a commonly know hero, Master Chief, as he goes to test an unkown device. It ends up leading him right into the Dead or Alive world, however. He then fights a losing battle and makes the occasional friend. However, all is not so easily done. |
| DOA Story 2: My Conflicts | May 23rd, 2005 | December 5th, 2005 | Second story in the DOA Story series. It picks up where Master Chief left off in the first story. Friends become turncoats as well as vice versa. |
| DOA Story 3: Loose Ends | January 1st, 2006 | March 15th, 2006 | Last story of the DOA Story series. It changes from the original format to now following the other characters. Master Chief teams up with his allies against a common foe in order to try and set things right again. |
| Target: Alpha | April 8th, 2006 | April 15th, 2006 | My first true story about Dead or Alive. It centers mainly around Ryu but occasionally switches between him and other people to give a more complete story. As you can guess, it is about the ninjas continued conflicts against DOATEC and that nasty little Alpha-152. |
| Purest Corruption | August 1st, 2006 | August 8th, 2006 | A very short story about Final Fantasy X. It follows the party into a long forgotten passageway, where they find something that was perhaps best not found... |
| Perception *Work In Progess* | January 8th, 2009 | Present |
Alexandra Hill had her father taken away by a corporation, now known to control everything. With influence all over the government, people are powerless against the near monopoly. That is until The People's Resistance came along. Coming out of the school as a Second Lieutenant, she's ready to find her father and take down what has cost the world so much. |
| DOATEC Classified Report | May 23rd, 2006 | December 10th, 2006 | Another DOA story. This one centers around Colonel Lance Roshal, a DOATEC employee. It follows him and another ally as they fight against an enemy who seems to have a clear advantage... |
| Fault Tolerance | December 19th, 2006 | January 24th, 2007 | My first story written completely in first person. Christopher Prochaska is an ordinary citizen of New York. However, when three girls break into a top-secret military base and steal a potion that the government doesn't even know what it does, problems get a little gigantic... |
| Demonic Ambitions | June 28, 2007 | July 6th, 2007 | The pleasure of being able to join Prince Kael'Thas Sunstrider in Outland. It's too much. Just ask Aelyni, a young blood elf, determined to get there as fast as possible. After a fateful meeting with a demon, she is soon able to fulfill her desires just like that. But when you're the one looking down, judgment tends to blur... |
| Demonic Ambitions 2: A New World | January 5th, 2008 | February 21, 2008 | It's been quite a ride for Aelyni, now pumping with more power than she ever dreamed of. Now, with a whole new planet in front of her, what's to stop her from the total takeover of the Earth? Two new rivals. Given the same opportunities as her, it's a race to the finish line that is painted with blood. |
| Demonic Ambitions 3: Everything | April 16th, 2008 | August 4th, 2008 |
Two long months have passed since the battle against Aelyni, Allision, and Tyra. Thanks to the energy broadcast, people can now sleep in peace. Determined to start rebuilding, the government sends a biohazard assault team into the ruined city where they made their last epic stand. It is only when they find a cult and talk to them that they realize that the war isn't over. As a matter of fact, it is far from over, but, upon finding a key piece, perhaps not as hard to win as previously thought. |
| Demonic Ambitions 4: Rebirth and Reclamation | November 22nd, 2008 | December 29th, 2008 |
With Velanni now living with John, live is peaceful on the country side. But in a world tainted by Aelyni, how long can he live in his comfort zone. John's about to find out the hard way that his battle is long from over. |
| Humanity's Competition | January 29th, 2007 | February 9th, 2007 | After losing her partner to a humiliating loss against Christie and Kokoro, Ayane finds herself with no other options but to ask her sister, Kasumi. As they quickly find out, Christie and Kokoro have a little secret they are hiding. This attracts the attention of one of the most elite assault teams ever created. Ayane and Kasumi check it out to find that Christie and Kokoro have developed a high-powered growth formula. With no other options, Ayane and Kasumi take that along with them. Combine that with a military team and a world ahead, the results might get a little crazy. |
| Humanity's Competition 2: Desperate Strike | February 27th, 2007 | June 4th, 2007 | The last free country has fallen, and, through the combined force of Christie and Kokoro, the world is now under their rule. Those who don't submit, die. Trent Rullman submitted. In fact, he works for the government. However, two familiar faces and a death threat convince him to commit what easily qualifies as treason. And if he can't be trusted, are there others? Betrayals, battles, and surprises are about to change the ones the people serve. |
Legal Disclaimer - As you'd think, I
need something making sure good ol' Mr. Politician up on Capitol Hill doesn't
swoop on down and present me with an arrest warrant. This pretty much saves
me from that, or at least I hope it does.
Credits - I know, I know. As much as you'd expect stories
to be written by one author, I have a few people to thank and give proper credit
to.
Notes and Questions - I've taken the time to write
up a few general notes about writing the story, the process I go through, and
made it complete by answering a few questions. Believe it or not, I've actually
received these e-mails. Common courtesy requires that I leave their names confidential.
Planned Development and Ideas - I've thought them up, you've sent them in, and they've been handled as the situation required. We all want to know what's going on behind the scenes. Use this section to find out some ideas that are on the drawing board.
Graphics - Ever wonder what Aelyni was drafted to look like? Alternately, never played Dead or Alive and wonder what Ryu Hayabusa is like? Answer all of those concerns here!
Praises - A collection of the very best appreciative words that I've received. For those who didn't make it, but did send something in, I thank you and apologize that it didn't make it here.
Links - Here's a few links that I appreciate. I know
I did. Please note that I take no responsibility for the content provided on
the following sites, so don't come to my door with a lawsuit in hand.
8/12/08 - Big and rather sudden update here. You've likely already visited most of the new sections I have to offer, but if you'd like an explanation, read here. I have added three new sections. The first of which being a Planned Development section. In this page, I list all of the ideas that you've sent in to me and the ideas I've thought about doing. I will continue to keep this section updated. If I decide to take an idea one step farther into the writing stage and it has been suggested to me by you guys, I will list the user(s) name in the next update. The second section is a Graphics section. In this section, I'm going to post graphical images of some of the characters to better your visualization of characters. In my Demonic Ambitions section, I will even be able to post a few battle scenes and custom scenes proposed by you all. The last of the new additions is the Positive Comments section. Obviously, since I receive an overwhelming amount of such content, I will post the best submissions along with a screenname. Also, the view count keeps rising on up. Music to my ears. We are now at 405,000+ views. I haven't stepped back really to view how large this is. I owe you all a major thank you. So...thanks! On the downside, I will be taking the three DOA stories at the top down. Reason being is that, after I've gone over them, and through some constructive advisement, I've come to realize that they do not match my quality standards and are not really what I want people to think of me by. They will be available upon special request, though. I hope you like the changes this site is going through!
8/04/08 - It’s been quite a while since I last updated. Although, don’t think I’ve forgotten you all my any means; I’ve merely been busy with work and everything. I’ve got some good news and some bad news. First, let’s start with the good. I have finally finished the Demonic Ambitions 3 story and have posted it on the site. I am considering the possibility of extending the series farther, as well. On the bad side, the two Humanity’s Competition stories have been cancelled. This is purely on me. To be completely honest, I was working with them, but constantly found what I accomplished to be lackluster and unfit for posting on my site. I understand that a lot of you were patiently waiting for them, and I thoroughly apologize for this. I do not take any pride or happiness in doing this, because, to me, it feels terrible. I have never before cancelled anything, but I just thought you should know. On the update side of things, there will be a couple new features coming to the site soon. The first of which will be a ‘Planned Development’ section. In this section, I will list ideas that I have gotten either from my own thinking or some of you. Now, these ideas are strictly ideas and may never get posted, but I thought it would give you guys a better insight as to what I am doing and what I am looking at. So, send in those ideas! On top of that, the site view count is nearly at 400,000 unique views! I am shocked, to say the least. Thank you for your time, everyone. Those views are the reason I will maintain this site as long as possible. Thank you for them all. Well, I must continue to work at my job, but please don’t think that I’ve given up on you all. By no means is that true. Without all of you, I would have no reason to continue writing.
6/28/08 - More updates. I've started getting into the swing of things again. Once consulting with a few of my documents, I discovered that what there was of Humanity's Competition 3 and Humanity's Competition: Root of Corruption was not going as I foresaw. In fact, and I admit, it was not turning out the way I wanted it to, so I have restarted the entire project. I hate doing this, but there will be delays with the releases. I will try my best to work harder to compensate for the time delay. Also, due to the recent influx of interest, I will be redoing my Notes and Questions page, particularly the questions section of the page. This will include a number of questions I have received by email most frequently. You can expect to find questions regarding all of my series and more there. Additonally, this site's view count is now upwards of 325,000! Thanks for all of your referrals!
6/09/08 - My, it's great to be back! I have fulfilled my contractual obligation with the military and should be home for a while. You all have been busy while I've been gone! Truly, I am amazed! My view count is nearly 300,000 unique hits! You guys have been excellent! For you all, I am doing my best to to finish up the Humanity's Competition stories I promised to everyone. Also, there will be another Demonic Ambitions released to wrap up that series as well. Stay tuned for more updates!
3/25/08 - Two updates here. It brings a smile to my face when I look at the view count, which has brought 200,000 unique views here! I thank you and your friends for their referrals. Also, the Humanity's Competition series is approximately one quarter of the way finished. I am trying my best to make it as fast and as well as possible, so thank you for your patience!
1/29/08 - The site's total view count has increased to over 150,000! I would like to thank all of my active viewers for their referrals and views. It's my pleasure to write for you all!
1/20/08 - Hey everyone! I'm finally back and see that my views have increased, even in my absence! Thanks a lot! I'll be sure to get on the ball again!
7/14/07 - Hi, I'm a personal friend of StarbucksMan274 and will be overseeing the site until his return. He has recently shipped out to Basic Training for the Army and will be inactive for a while until he can get back online. Wish him your best, please! If you have any questions, email them to me at hayabusastarbucks274@gmail.com.
6/14/07 - The site's view count has exceeded 100,000. Thanks a lot all of you out there, really! It means a lot to me! I hope to be able to keep you here!
