Hi all, Angst Splatter here. Lazy updating of my profile in 2014. Last one was a few years ago. Like 2009. Hard to believe I've been here that long, but then I go look at my fics as Tewi and see how much I've improved and it doesn't seem like that long ago at all.

I have written before - aspiring writer here - in RL and in fanfiction. Concrit is my favorite type of review to get (and to do), because I love to get better, and to help other's get better. Otherwise I can never become publishable.

I'm a procrastinator, but I'll try and do my best with my updating. I do NaNoWriMo every year. Most of my fanfics should be oneshots, as I have trouble doing longer stories and finishing them in a timely manner, except during NaNo. If I start a chapter fic, I'm likely to update it until it's finished, even if that's sporadic.

I will reply to reviews and PMs, even if it takes me a while! :)

TMNT Forum everyone should visit: Stealthy Stories

I am known as Tewi over at Stealthy Stories. I have an old ff account here as Tewi which I basically consider an archive of when I first started writing. Angst Splatter was kind of like me starting a new chapter after I understood a lot more about writing and writing fanfiction in particular. You can visit my tumblr here. I also help co-run the TMNT Fanfiction Competition tumblr.

I am studying to become a geologist dealing in climate change, but I also have a great passion for paleontology and evolution.
