Gerald is a 20-something Hong Kong-American living in Japan who pretends to write things resembling coherent sentences in what little spare time he has. He enjoys, in no particular order, lemon chicken, zarusoba, mecha, guitars, dim sum, Gackt, computers, running, and riding the train. He also likes watching fighter aircraft take off and land, but only for a little while because the experience of standing in exhaust fumes does not rank high on his list of fun things.

The majority of writing on this site has to do with Japanese animation, also known as anime. The anime I enjoy usually falls within the realm of what is known as "shounen," or "boy's" anime, which includes car racing, giant robots, and science-fiction cyberpunk. You will, however, find snippets of pretty much every genre. I am also a semi-retired Star Wars fan, and things from that still show up every now and again.

I don't take requests unless I specifically ask for them, and I also don't stick to a regular update schedule. I have never written blatant sexually-explicit material, either heterosexual or homosexual, and have no intention to any time soon. So come on in kiddies, the site is (mostly) safe. I must also mention that posting anything I write anywhere without permission means certain death and/or disembowelment. Authors work hard. Respect them.

This is the 7th incarnation of Landover, first begun in probably 2001, though it's been a while and my memory is hazy in my old age. I admit ruthless rip-offage of Tin Mandigma's fic archive. Featuring scenes from Casshern, the movie by Kazuaki Kiriya. Watch. Learn. Be amazed. Pet the cute dog.

05.10.07 ... I'm so behind in updating this page. Added two new Final Fantasy VIII fics and one drabble (Fruits Basket).

01.22.07 ... Added a new category to the series page: game. I've been playing Final Fantasy VII lately, so expect a bunch of fic from that fandom. Up right now are the prologue and first 4 parts of Gunpowder and Firecrackers, which is FFVII, post Advent Children and AU to Dirge of Cerberus. Also added another Macross 7 to the one-shot page, The Mayor's Daughter. I've been slow at getting stuff up on the page lately. For more fics, keep reading my fic journal at Seraphitus.

10.23.06 ... New addition to the neverending still untitled Utena series fic. Also I started a Cowboy Bebop AU series. Check both of them out on the series page.

09.19.06 ... Two new categories under "one-shots": Escaflowne and Tokyo Babylon, with one new fic in each.

09.18.06 ... Finished posting the rest of Sonzai (Fushigi Yuugi) ^o^ Um. Hi! XD Hop on over to my fic journal Seraphitus if you want to see what I've been up to. I know I've been neglecting to update this page lately.

02.05.05 ... Updated the drabbles page with a whole bunch of new ones.

Jigsaw Puzzle [FMA]
Coffee Pot [Furuba]
The Cave-Fish, Heartstorm, Legends [FY]
Heartbeat [Initial D]
Suburi [Utena]
Harajuku Girl [Tokyo Babylon]

01.31.05 ... Amazing what you find when you clean out your hard drive. A very old Phantom of the Opera fic posted in [series] under [live action]. Did I mention "very old"? ^^;

01.27.05 ... The Gift-Givers (Fruits Basket) added to [one-shots] under [anime].

01.25.05 ... I design for IE/Netscape, and didn't have Firefox on this computer till recently. As CSS is notoriously non cross-browser compatible, I figured there would be ONE browser in which it would be screwed up, and Firefox seems to be the one this time. I've switched the divs around to make the layout at least readable in Firefox, which it wasn't before...if I was smarter at CSS I would probably be able to do more with it, but unfortunately I'm not. Anyway, the site should be ok in Mozilla now. Sorry about that.

01.23.05 ... Sonzai (Fushigi Yuugi) added to [series] under [anime].

01.22.05 ... A Cacophony of Angels (X Japan) part 10 up in [series] under [jrock]. Hou Niao (Moon Child) up in [one-shots] under [live action].

12.02.04 ... after battling CSS for a week, I've finally won. I think. >.> new site layout and revamp. let me know please if anything doesn't look right. 800x600 res used to create this one.
