History Tropers / SubtleInsanity

A relatively composed individual who relishes in his spontaneity despite what his handle might imply- i.e., an insane person who goes about doing things subtly ([[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin though there is ''some'' truth to it]]). A self-admitted perfectionist, masochist, and [[TheStrategist tactician]] (of {{TabletopGame/Chess}} and {{TabletopGame/Shogi}}), he enjoys fencing, [[FanFic writing stories]], proofreading others' works, math, physics, logic, and a good challenge. His only gripe is seeing a concentration of English language-related fallacies concentrated in a single chunk of text, in which case his sharp-tongued proofreading side erupts to exact justice. An avid fan of reading, he is pursuing as many languages as he can in order to expand his horizons and develop his own novel series. His spontaneity stems from his desire to make his stories appear credible through many, ''many'' experiences.

For a time, he used to proofread fan translations in the ''[[LightNovel/ACertainMagicalIndex A Certain Magical Index]]'' franchise (specifically the early volumes of both the first series light novels and the Railgun manga) under the alias "Tact". Nowadays he's "wandering in the ether"; time will tell if he reemerges.

* ''Comments'': An affectionate parody of Male Tactician/Female stories, the "Romance" genre it's primarily labeled under is actually alluding to [[spoiler:his yearning for his lost love, the tune he plays, ''and'' the story itself: a tale of fanciful appeal and questionable credibility]].

On June 18, 2005, he stumbled upon [[http://www.fanfiction.net/ FanFiction.net]] on a whim, created [[http://www.fanfiction.net/u/836020/Subtle_Insanity his eponymous handle]] there, and began his hobby as a fanfiction writer. He started with his then-favorite game series, [[FireEmblem Fire Emblem]], before dabbling in series from other media; however, the pace in which he creates and updates works is horribly inconsistent.

* ''Synopsis'': Returning to Academy City after a nine-year vacation abroad, nineteen-year-old J Passant decided to become an esper. Unfortunately, a hiccup during the initiation process left him with three things: no hair, no ability, and a drastically shortened lifespan. With death promising to ensnare him on his twenty-first birthday, he decides to take care of the loose threads that he reluctantly left behind before he finally bites it, but his first task is... meeting Number One face to face?! Starts one month before A Certain Scientific Railgun and A Certain Scientific Index, but soon leaps right into the fray.
* ''Comments'': The inspiration for the main character's ability, Inhibition, was Accelerator's own power of Redirection. This piece aims to expand on unaddressed events within the scope of reason while building suspense and intrigue.

* ''Synopsis'': If espers' powers are based on their beliefs, then what power is given to a student devoted to neutrality?

Starts just before A Certain Scientific Railgun, but leaps right into its midst.

Born on September 7, 1990, he is a relatively-composed individual who relishes in his spontaneity despite what his handle infers (i.e., [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin an insane person who goes about doing things subtly]]), though there is ''some'' truth to it. A self-admitted perfectionist, masochist, and [[TheStrategist tactician]] (of {{chess}}), he enjoys fencing, Tae Kwon Do, writing [[FanFic fanfiction]], beta-reading (and proofreading) others' works, mathematics, physics, logic, and a good challenge. His only pet peeve is seeing a concentration of fallacies related to the English language, wherein his sharp-tongued proofreader side erupts to exact justice. An avid fan of reading, he pursues a career in game scenario writing, hoping to improve the quality of that particular story-telling medium; his spontaneity stems from his desire to make his stories appear credible via many, ''many'' experiences.

* ''Pairing(s)'': Tactician +: Lyn, Florina, Serra, Ninian, Rebecca, Priscilla, Fiora, Isadora, Louise, Farina, Nino, Vaida, Karla[[spoiler:, Elimine, Hanon]]

* ''Comments'': An affectionate parody of Tactician/Female stories, the "Romance" genre it's primarily labeled under is actually alluding to [[spoiler:his yearning for his lost love, the tune he plays, ''and'' the story itself- a tale of both fanciful appeal and questionable credibility]].

* ''Synopsis'': When commanding an army, establishing trust with its members is critical to both your success in missions ''and'' your future prospects. Seen through the eyes of a tactician serving under the greatest military advisor organization, the secrets of the world begin to unravel... Planned to take place before, during, and somewhat after Blazing Sword and Sword of Seals.
* ''Comments'': Originally meant to flesh out the personalities of the canon characters, this story became the spearhead of his three-view epic, using the canon characters' interactions with "Mark" as springboards. Though its primary genre is "General", its secondary genre of "Friendship" has a great deal of significance.

* ''Synopsis'': If espers' powers are based on their beliefs, then what power is given to a student devoted to neutrality? As he seeks to control his oddly-hostile ability, a young spellslinger shoves him right into the heart of matters his family may have left behind... Takes place slightly before (but mostly during) the universe's events.
* ''Comments'': The main character's ability, "Inhibition", was based off Accelerator's own power of vector redirection. The author aims to logically expound on aspects of this particular universe while building suspense and intrigue.

* ''Synopsis'': When you realize that the power outage and loss of data you experienced earlier had come from a virus ''you'' had made and had happened ''all over the world'', what primary emotion do you feel? Takes place during the Zero Arc, after the "Spider Virus" incident becomes breaking news.
* ''Comments'': This drabble stemmed from a night of boredom, in which he wondered about the repercussions of energy-deprived hospitals. Only when he read the end-of-volume author's notes did he realize that this was an up-in-the-air [[AlternateUniverse AU]], as [[spoiler:Billy-G created the virus not out of boredom but for ''recognition'' as a hacker]].

* ''Comments'': This drabble (which had ''exactly'' 100 words) stemmed from him losing a game of chess. Misdirection can be oh-so-fun.

* ''Comments'': Inspired by the crazy influx of tactician stories at the time, this finely-crafted gem serves as both an antithesis to the "upstanding member of society" types ''and'' a warning against any more clutter.
