Introduction:

Hi, Im Riley. No, that's not my full or first name; but this is the internet and I don't think it's wise to add my full name here.

Disregarding the fact that my social media platforms are extremely easy to find thanks to my username.

If you've visited my profile before, you would know that it was a pretty crappy profile summary and that it was basically only little notes from me regarding my stories and writing status from time to time.

QUICK EDIT: 5/29/2019: I currently do not have Microsoft Word active and I currently do not have WiFi. I am updating this at another persons' house. I have had issues with being able to afford WiFi and Word for a while now and without these, I can't seem to bring myself to write anything. Using my phone is just something that doesn't... "put me in the mood", I guess. I will eventually get back into writing as much as possible, but right now I'm busy going through a divorce as well as financial woes. I've found myself less and less motivated to do anything I enjoy the longer my relationship has gone on. I've barely written anything and I've lost a lot of interest in art. I have a plan for my life and I intend to stick to it. I intend to work on myself as a person and extend my base knowledge and intelligence. I've learned a lot over my years of living, but there is still so much to learn.

About Me:

So, a few things I suppose I could put on here... I'm not the best writer.

I get distracted easily and sometimes it takes a lot of motivation for me to keep up with my stories.

I have a cat named Tobi. He's currently sitting on my lap watching me while I type this.

I'm married... I guess that's all I have to say about that.

I'm currently twenty-three.

I love watching anime and reading manga. If I sat down and wrote a complete list of all I have read and watched it would go well over fifty and I would still probably miss something, just know that anyone as obssessed with anime as I am has already watched "The Big Ones" (referring to the most popular or longest anime) and read their manga. The only one I haven't gotten around to watching yet would be One Piece.

I love to read. If I didn't, I wouldn't have had this account for as long as I have had it. Which is going on ten years. I didn't start posting actual stories until maybe two or three years ago. I read a lot of different genres but mostly stick to teen fiction or adult fiction. I also like to read mystery and fantasy and a few others. I don't really pay attention to genre. I walk around and if something catches my eye I read the discription. If I like it, then I buy it. The same principle applies to fanfiction whereas instead of genre, I look at it by what work it is based off of. For example, Naruto.

I do beta, however, I mostly do it for the experience and because I like helping people who I think need that help. I mainly reach out to other writers whose stories I have read. I know many people with disabilities that affect their writing (my biological father included... I suppose writing is in my blood, as is art. My maternal grandfather was an artist before he died at a young age when my mother was sixteen) and I myself have somewhat of a disability. It doesn't affect my writing, but it heavily affects my daily life. When I was born, I slowly began to lose my ability to hear. Currently, I've lost around fifty percent. I say it like that because I'm not completely sure. The last time I was tested was around three or four years ago and the older I get the faster it goes.

Video Games. I didn't mention video games. My current library of games is larger than the amount of anime I have watched (not just steam, I use origin as well and the PSN) ... So that's that. If you want to add me on Steam then you can, just ask me for my username. I have about 300 hours logged on Civ V, 100 on Tera (I no longer play Tera. It's changed too much for my liking. Sometimes, that is a good thing, but in this case it's just gone bad), others aren't as accurate because for some reason when I play offline it just ignores it. I beat the first of the new Tomb Raider games in about 12 hours... would have been shorter but I like to explore, still got to go back and finish all the "side quests" I only finished some. Still working on the 2nd before I download the third, the 2nd has so much more content... O.e

Current Works:

I'm working on quite a few stories in my opinion. Most are from Naruto and Death Note but I do have one from Seraph of the End. When I finish these, I may branch out more, but currently, I have my hands full.

Fanfiction:

Wilted Efflorescence: (Naruto) Efflorescence: The state or period of flowering, an example or result of growth and development. She lost everyone, and nothing would be the same. They convinced her to go back. To change things. But how could she, when all she knew was lost? She was alone in her burden. A burden to save them all, wilted, and washed in the blood of her loved ones. Rated M (because I got graphic)

This is the story I work on the most. Any artwork I have for this story is on the posted version on Wattpad.

Chess Piece: (Death Note) We were both young when we first met. I didn't know his name, he didn't know mine. We never spoke. We just watched. It hadn't been a friendship, but it was the closest that either of us had ever been to one. How is it that we came face to face now? After all these years? I don't believe in circumstance. LxOC

This story will most likely be heavily edited.

Endless Knot: (Naruto) I'm not sure how long I spent lying there on the forest floor. I just knew that I needed to move. I had no idea where I was. What I was doing there. How I even got there. And why I had the mother of all migraines... My body… The thing that I was currently inhabiting, was approximately that of a two-year-old. F*. (ItachiXoc)(Inter-dimensional travel)

Again, being edited. I have a few chapters that aren't posted, but I feels if I need to change a few things.

Color Coordination: (Death Note) Celeste always had been an odd child. She kept to herself. Wore only specific shades of dark purples, blues, black, the colors of the galaxies. Her natural white hair and seemingly royal blue eyes stood out among a crowd. Not that she would ever spend a significant amount of time in a large crowd. OCx?

This version will be OCxL. I have worked on the second chapter and come up with ideas for an alternate story called Coordination of Colors as an OCxLight because in my reviews, many people wanted both.

WattPad: Those of you who check out my Wattpad or were brought here FROM Wattpad should know that I cannot currently sign in. Nor can I seem to change my password through the given prompts. I'm still trying to figure out what is wrong with it.

Burden: (Naruto)An emotionally and physically abused girl follows her "dark figure" to another world, not knowing or caring where she would end up. She finds herself in the middle of a dark forest. The next day she is found by a group of ANBU on patrol. What will happen to her? Will she even care? Will she finally find happiness or is it nothing but an illusion? Warnings inside.

This story is heavily based off of my childhood. The last chapter is currently not a chapter but an authors note explaining why there haven't been any updates to it recently.

Curse of the Fallen: (Seraph of the End) "So came the first of the fallen who were cast out. His emotions removed and his need for the humans he hated was all that was left. For centuries he wandered. Until the day he became known as the First Progenitor, Shigama Doji The Father of Vampires. The second to be cast out was the favorite. She was cast out and cursed, for she loved the humans more than their Creator. Cursed to wander as a daemon, but unlike the first, she was a race consumed by blood lust. Her emotions rampant. She was cursed with the ability to feel. " WARNING: If you haven't read the Manga, or read some of the books, there may be some spoilers. Currently rated: T

This story isn't currently active. It's in my drafts. I have a lot to work on with it and its basically my spin on the origin of the first progenitor ect.

Updates:

To be honest, I don't know when I will update or how often. At first I wanted to work on a schedule, but like I mentioned earlier I lack motivation sometimes. It's not like I don't currently have the time, I have plenty, I just can't force myself to write when I can't think of anything to put down on a page.

I do have some chapters I have already written for certain stories but I think the stories need to be rewritten or edited and I am currently only using my phone for writing. The windows 10 updates completely messed up all of my computers. The way I update now has a bit of a process. I use the Microsoft Word app and update it to my drive and then post; or I use Wattpad, then switch to Microsoft to catch any typos or mistakes then I upload to Drive then I post. Remember, all of this is being done on my phone, so typos are something that happens more than I care to mention.

My updates are also affected by my state of mind. Which isn't the most stable or reliable. If you've read any of my stories you will know that my past greatly affects me and reflects on my writing style. Some days I can't make myself do anything, much less do things that I love. Writing is the only thing I haven't completey abandoned as my mental state gets worse.

Reviews:

I have mentioned in many of my earlier stories that reviews are something that motivates me unlike anything else. As I got older, I stopped mentioning it as much because I get frustrated. The same goes with Authors Notes. I stopped adding so many because I feel that no one reads them anyway and it's a bit disheartening when you pour part of yourself onto a page and see hundreds of people read that but give no feedback.

I may have given off the impression that "If you have nothing nice to say, don't say anything at all". I DO accept constructive criticism. It helps me improve. I've just kind of stated in earlier stories that I don't like it when people write flames or try to argue with me on my world views. Which is why I try to avoid certain topics.

With Endless Knot, well... that was a bit of a spurn towards my mother and if you've read it, you've probably picked up on my scorn. With Burden, it gets into the abuse (mostly emotional, the physical aspect is a bit exaggerated because I am not the character. The character is based off of me but I am not her) lived through when I was younger that still affects me to this day and all of that was mostly caused by religous obsession. A lot of my writing draws from my experiences when I was younger and some of what I still go through.

Cover Images:

Many of my cover images I make myself editing photos I find online or using my own artwork. I make cover images not only for myself but for other authors as well. I have a section on Wattpad entitled: Covers (Yeah, very imaginitive, I know) that has all of the cover images I have made for other authors as well as myself. I enjoy making covers and if you want me to make one, all you have to do is ask. I don't charge and I do this because I want to do it.

Readers:

That's basically all I have to put on here, however, If you want to reach out to me, you can.

I don't mind private messages and I don't mind answering any questions or even just talking. If you want me to make a cover, if you want me to check out one of your stories just ask.

Really, that's all it takes.

If you've actually read all of this, thank you. ~RileyyHeartt
