Fair Warning: If you are reading this, you probably missed the Poll I usually have posted at the top of my profile. Feel free to be a voice for the voiceless.

I am here to poke holes in your plots and point out exactly how many terrible grammar mistakes you make, all while applauding you for originality, laughing at your (good) jokes, and rolling my eyes at cliches. I leave critiques, not reviews. I do my best to find every little thing that could be improved. I try very hard not to troll or flame and I am careful to give advice, not just burn down an author for my own amusement. That said, I speak my mind and should no way be considered the be all end all opinion of your average reader.

I am also a part time beta. I work with a few other authors on this site who (until they bother to tell you about me) shall remain nameless. I'm more than willing to look over a chapter if you want me to. Don't expect an immediate response though; I'm afraid my job keeps me in and out of wifi/data range for months on end.

I do have an AO3 account. Same name, different psudes (plural) though. I keep it for anything raunchy I might decide to write, and keep both sides updated as I can.

Projects:

Percy Jackson

For anyone who was paying attention, I did have an OC centric PJO fanfiction series I was working on. Was, unfortunately, is the operative word. As of right now the series is dead. While I have enough notes to pawn it out to someone else, I don't see it ever being rewritten or up for adoption any time soon. With the release of the fifth and final book in the HOO series, my muse died due to Riordan's apparent lack of caring for his own characters. PM me if you want a full rant.

The morbidly curious can find it on my AO3. Fair warning, I would not wish reading that on my worst enemy.

Harry Potter

I have a Harry Potter fanfiction that's slowly moving toward completion, with a tentative publish date of "soon" TM. So... maybe sometime before 2035? The premise is a Carmen Sandiego style chase, with our main character (Harry) as a bit of a James Bond. It's going to be full of double entendres, spies, traitors, and Quidditch!
Working Title: Where in the World is Harry Potter?

I also have a one-shot that I need to end.
Like literally, I just need a resolution.
Working title: BAMF Luna.

Miraculous Ladybug

Ah yes, Devil May Care. The piece I started writing a while ago.
It's not dead, I promise. It is, however, looking a bit beat up.
I have yet to get a sustained beta for ML (unfortunately) and my work unbeta'd is... horrific to say the least. (Give me someone else's work and I shine. My own not so much.) My RWBY beta is watching the show (ML) now, so I might have a beta again soon, but she's also also in her last year of grad school for her Pharm. D. I'm not counting my Akuma before I have the Miraculous.'

I imagine that if/when I release the ML one-shot (Working Title: Guilty Conscience) I've got lazing about my desk, you can expect an update to DMC. Not that that will guarantee consistent updates of course.

RWBY

For anyone who's been following my work with the Muse, the chase continues.

Thus far she hasn't bothered to give me an ending to any of my longer pieces but has handed me way too many new fics, one of which (Working Title: First Impressions) will almost definitely have more than one chapter. Humor, Nuts and Dolts, and a bit of fun. Good, clean, fun.

And, um... well I do have another piece... I know, I know! I should maybe finish the rest I have, please put down the pitchforks and torches! They're burney and pokey and HURT!

Working Title: PH309 will be up as soon as it is beta'd and titled. Yes it's written in its' entirety. No, I have no idea when it will be posted. Probably sometime this month (July 2020) but we all remember how Simple Misunderstandings turned out right?

Yeah.

For anyone who remembers You Don't Get to Choose Your Nightmares, a concurrent piece (Working Title: Dark Dreaming) is nearly done. I um, just need to get Yang to stop crying. And my Betas to stop trying to physically harm me when I ask them to read it. One threatened to remove my internal organs, another threatened to rip out my reproductive organs, and the third read it... and hasn't spoken to me since. She hasn't stopped laughing either.

Please send help Doughnuts!

A lot of people asked about Yang and Weiss and how they were dealing with everything better than their partners. They aren't, they just suffer in a different way. It's primarily designed around Yang being an older sister to Weiss, I guess you can read it as Freezerburn if you squint, but that's not the intent.

We'll see how that turns out.

My last one shot is an AU idea my beta Aer gave me. For anyone who hasn't read her Robin/Raven fics, what are you doing reading this? Go find her on AO3 and see what real writing is. After giving me a piece of hers to beta (which she then posted) I found myself desiring to write a Team RWBY Secret Agent AU, (Working Title: Certainty of Death, Small Chance of Success) Gen, Action, maybe some Humor, no planned romance (but who knows with my muse...ugh). Please feel free to blame the beta.

My larger projects keep getting bigger and bigger, and I'm afraid there's not much to say on the first one without giving away a hefty plot point or six. My Beta's favorite (Working Title: That's me in the Corner; That's me in the Spotlight) is...bigger than it was supposed to be. Much bigger.

Spotlight is still in progress. There's been a minor hiccup with the muse having a bit of a schizophrenic episode over what she wants to happen, but I'm sure she'll straighten herself out any day now...

Any. Day. Now.

Series

Working Title: Sunset has officially ended, but while the fic is nearing completion, the story of The Huntress Queen is only beginning.

Sunset was originally going to be a single stand alone piece, and then Yang had a mental breakdown, the author got curious, the world expanded, and the whole darn thing went crazy The next thing I knew I had eight assorted fics in progress telling a story that spans over a half-decade; and is still going. As of right now, I have two complete works (Working Titles: Dawn and Daybreak) as well as a couple spin-offs that wouldn't get out of my head. The spin-offs will be posted after their fics are completed and posted in their entirety, while the full story (unlike the Four Corners series) will not begin to be published until the first half of the series is complete at least.

My next sequential project in The Huntress Queen series (Working Title: Two Huntresses and a Baby) is in its infancy and will take some time to get polished to the point I like. After that, the next fic (Working Title: Shakespeare) will have to be complete before the Sunset can be posted for reading.

The next half is in pre-production, with the next three fics after Sunset (Working Titles: Dusk, Twilight, and Midnight) holding little more than a few notes and a couple scenes.

Fair Warning, The Huntress Queen series will feature Freezerburn, an approach I haven't seen with Blake, and Ruby actually doing the job she signed up for.

The Four Corners Four Keystones series is back on my "in progress" list, with the next fic (Working Title: Yang's story) now begun. I know what happens, and I just need to put it into words. That is, however, taking quite some time.
For anyone curious about The Linchpin's epilogue, It'll be posted at the end of the series... as will all five epilogues.

I also have my first foray into crack (Working Title: Thwack Thwack, Thwack) which... well it looks like a crack fic, that's for sure. No forecast for that radioactive... thing.

RosarioVampire, Madoka crossover.

This is my lazy project; I have a little under 7.5k words written. This probably won't be out for many years.

Written works:

RWBY

As the muse survives, so I work.

Cooking, Cookies, and Crescent Rose- Beta was cooking things... the muse grabbed some words and ran. Ergo I wrote it.

Cougar- Who doesn't love a good 'morning after' fic? Blake and Ruby are far too much fun to play off each other; Ergo I wrote it.

Faded Rose Petals- In Memorial of Gunnery Sergeant P. USMC.

Faithful Friend- My muse left this idea in my head when I wasn't looking. Ergo I wrote it

Family- Characters are very ooc, and if the story seems contrived, you should know it's not. I just needed to work through some things, and writing this has given me some closure IRL. I apologize, but this was a bit serious for me.

I'm Cooking- It popped into my head. It wouldn't leave. Erego I wrote it.

Illusions of Sleep- A much darker piece than Nightmares, the muse kept adding to it, and changing characters. It resembles a ladybug match. I don't know why. It certainly isn't meant as one. I liked the idea of Ruby helping her teammates. Ergo I wrote it.

The Linchpin- The first of the Four Keystone series. Ruby fell in the prologue, and the world is a poorer place without her. It was the brainchild for the Four Keystone series, Ergo I wrote it.

Mistakes- It popped in my head. I like the two as a couple. Ergo I wrote it.

Prologue: The Final Moments- This is the prologue to all the Four Keystone series. Not required to be read, but it gives some background. It slipped into my head in the middle of 2019, Ergo I wrote it.

Sooooo...- Um, yeah. No real defense here. I blame the muse, she gave it to me while I was working through some other issues (specifically from 'Family'). If you must know it spawned from Family.

Simple Misunderstanding- Because there's nothing like poking fun at soap opera drama. I love laughing (and cringing) at soap operas. Ergo I wrote it.

You Don't Get to Choose Your Nightmares- A rabid plot bunny that spawned from Illusions of Sleep. Ironically I wrote it faster than the one that spawned it.

Steven Universe

I really have no idea how this came to be. I blame the muse.

Price of a Life- I wrote this between the hours of one and five am. PT the next morning was awful. I don't know how it got legible. I praise my Beta(s) for that miracle.

Miraculous Ladybug

If I had a nickle for how often my muse goes to Tahiti without me every time I start working on this...I could probably afford to go with.

Akuma Talk- An overactive imagination with a connection to Freud.

Devil May Care- My large foray into the fandom. 90% written. 25% Beta'd. 30% Posted.

Over My Head- A different take on 'what if Alya got the earrings?"

Descendants

Betas are wonderful people. They're patient, rude, and helpful. Usually. Until they return your Muse with a different idea then she had before.

Greatest Victory- A one shot that explores the fact that Mal is a freaking half-fae, half-god. Through her mother.

Beta notes:

I LIVE for quality over content.

What does that mean?

1. I will read anything (as long as it is good) even if I don't know the fandom.
2. I have to read the summary, so write a good one.
3. If you need a summary, ask your beta and your reviewers.
4. The fic must come "well recommended".

Well recommended fics are hard to come by. I consider a fic "well recommended" if it is suggested by someone I know well; otherwise, it will take me much longer to get back to you about it.

Sending me a "read this" fanfiction will get you told to take a number. Sending me a letter/PM asking me to read your fanfic will at least give me a chance to let you know how long you'll be waiting before I can edit (or even read) your fanfiction. Sending me both a letter and your fanfiction will get you a delay while I put the time together to both read your fanfic and write you back. I won't write you back until I have at least read it, which may take months.

I do beta summaries; they are my favorite things to edit.

Summary Suggestions:

Never, ever, write the words "I suck at summaries." If you say you can't write a summary, I am already doubting your ability to write a story. (So even if your summary sucks, publish it with confidence.) Depending on the fic, you may want to consider using a first or second person point of view in the summary. (Yes I said second, yes it is possible.) Settings make for excellent summaries. Describing your setting can help draw readers in. Self-reflection/in- character reflection can be a good summary.

It is your job to make me want to read your fanfics. Making me want to read them before I've even opened them is a good start.

My Fanfiction Notes: What I like when I'm not out being a critic.

I'm a Harmony shipper through not exclusively.

Phinbella is my only OTP.

A good clean crack! fic is my favorite thing in life.

Robst.

Pet Peeves:

Anonymous Reviews: AO3's ghastly invitation mechanic aside, there is no reason you can't log in hereand leave me your thoughts. If you don't have the confidence to sign your name, don't expect me to keep you around. If you absolutely can't create an account, then I'm sorry, most of my stories are probably a bit more mature than you should be reading. As of writing this I'm grandfathering in all anon reviews. After this, I'm deleting it if it's provocative in any manner. Log in, and put your name to your opinion. I'll respect you all the more, keep you around, and respond. Keep in mind though, if it's flat out insulting/trolling I'm not going to waste either of our time.

Flamers: By and large the bane of my existence, flamers and trolls are my biggest annoyances. Being unable to offer advice and suggestions they seem to think that fanfiction is based solely off of how good you write according to their (often narrow-minded) rules, and will often get annoyed because the story they just read didn't match their expectations... even though what they disliked was in the summary. (Or one of the funniest I got, was the entire premise of the fic.) The problem is, when they chase off an author they cut into my reading pool. That is unacceptable. If you don't like a fic, there's a handy little button in the upper left hand corner that will solve your problem.

Unfinished Fics: More an annoyance than a true Peeve, an unfinished fic hurts. After all, I, like many other readers, will find a truly incredible fic, read it to a cliffhanger, and then notice that it hasn't been updated in the last 2 years. Ouch.

For now those are my only ones, though I'm sure that as the world turns I'll gain a couple more.
