If for some reason you should want to get in touch with me (commentary, questions, complaints, nagging me about updating my chapter fics, more of my failure sense of humor), I have a tumblr at (the link function doesn't seem to be working, so just copy-paste into your browser, I suppose). Bonus information about my fics is there, under the tag, "Fic Notes." Please direct all questions there, by the way, so I don't have to answer anything twice. Same goes to guests who want a response, cause it's kinda awkward to have to put a note on my profile in big letters in hopes that you'll see it.

Oh, and I've decided to try something new: I'm accepting drabble requests! More info on my tumblr if you're interested.

I suppose I ought to start out by saying I'm a fairly quirky person, in my opinion. One of my relatives insists I have synesthesia, and considering I had an argument with an actual synaesthete about name colors (and I kinda won), they might have a point . . .

I consider myself a pessimistic realist.

I like a lot of different stuff from all different genres, but I'm mainly on here for anime/manga and games, most of which kind of connect to each other (Ex: Fire Emblem is both a game and manga). My first fandom anime/manga-wise was definitely Pokemon. I've been obsessed at least since I was six, quite possibly before, though I was unaware it was an anime at the time. I quit keeping up with the show in the middle of the Diamond and Pearl arc cause I thought it was getting overly complicated and too long, but I still watch old episodes, play the games, and read the manga. I’m personally a fan of PreciousMetalShipping/HunterShipping/Whatever you want to call it, but I prefer PreciousMetal because I think their dynamic is better established in the manga. I also think the characters have a lot more personality there. I mean, Silver's the same, but Ethan is basically a mindless goody-two shoes. Does he say a single sentence that shows a bit of individuality?

I'm pretty much a suckish writer who loses writing motivation halfway even if I'm trying to write a one-shot, so don't expect a lot of stories from me. Never expect anything more than one-shots. I know my limitations. My sentences don't flow well and I have comma issues, so feedback (but not flames, since apparently that's just senseless ranting usually unrelated to actual quality) would be appreciated. I'm a bit of a Spelling/Grammar Nazi, so if there's an error, please tell me. Only fair that if I'm going to complain about other people's writing mechanics, you get to complain about mine.

I also really don't approve of OCs unless they don't play too big of a role, they're an antagonist, or they're an OC parody. I especially hate OCs pairings. It just doesn't feel right to me. I don’t know exactly what my problem with them is, but I think it's that people seem to try creating "perfect" characters, hailing them as a heroic prodigy and whatnot, and then write something along the lines of "Can [Insert OC Here] melt [Character]’s icy heart?" etc., etc. It feels annoying, like they’re trying to have their OC upstage the original character.

I like humor fics—in fact, I was led here by TV Tropes's recommendation of Oh God, Not Again—but I couldn't write it if my life depended on it. But based on what I've posted, I seem to specialize in angsty romance.

I don't know why people keep following one-shots I've marked as complete. Don't get me wrong, I'm flattered, but I can't see the point of it. Can anyone give me an answer?

My stories tend to have so little plot that if you were to remove the emotions from them, there would be about five sentences.

And . . . I cannot write a happy ending. Nor, it seems, can I write sequels. I got about three sections (22 paragraphs) into one for Swansong before I realized it wasn't working out. My plans for We Missed Our Moment included a sequel, and it's not starting out right. I got about one paragraph in. I wrote part of a scene for Past Dreams before figuring out that I had no idea where it was going and it might be better off to leave that one to the imagination.

Remember that bit I said about not being able to write a happy ending? Yeah, well, ignore that; there was a fic I'd written at that time that does have a happy ending (well, for me anyways)—my first fic, actually. I'd forgotten it at the time, though, because it's been sitting in a Word Document gathering dust for about five months. I keep forgetting to go back and fix it.

As of finishing Locution, I now have a story with a genuinely happy ending.

Random fact: I write endings before beginnings.

I really hate Twilight. It feels like a corruption of the vampire genre (in that it turns vampires into a ridiculously overpowered species of alpha predators), contains a lot of science fail, crap worldbuilding, enormous plot holes, and some really horrific implications. Oh, and our "heroes" are self-absorbed and occasionally sociopathic

Fifty Shades of Grey is just porn masquerading as plot. Very bad plot. Enough said.

I still exist. Just so you know.

I have about a dozen or so story fragments saved in various documents all over my computer. Now if only I knew how to finish them, that would be great.

You know what I've decided? I have too much angst. That's the reason I have writer's block. I can't write any more angst because I'm too distracted by my own.

. . . Shut up, I'm allowed to whine.

(For sarcasm-blind people (like me, actually), that was indeed a joke.)
