Author has written 21 stories for Elder Scroll series, Fallout, Mass Effect, and Dragon Age.

Name: Saerzion

Age: I'm older than I look/sound/behave.

Interests: Writing, art, video games, cosplay, houseplants.

Tagline: "Badassery doesn't die."

Bio: I'm just another oxygen-sucker taking up space on the planet. I enjoy traveling despite my atrocious sense of direction, perusing art supplies stores even though my artistic talent is questionable at best and nonexistent at worst, and dressing up as video game characters in real life because I discarded all sense of shame a long time ago. Besides English, I speak two other languages (with fluency inadequate enough to be laughed at by native speakers). I raise houseplants instead of pets because, if the untimely demise of every fish I've ever owned is any indication, I have no business raising sentient living organisms.


[ PERMISSION TO STALK ]

AO3: [ /users/Saerzion ] This serves as a backup destination for my fan fiction in case one (or all) of my M-rated stories here gets chucked off the face of the internet.

DeviantArt: [ ] This is where I bask in dozens of video game fan art that, unlike mine, looks like what it's supposed to. Addendum: This is also where I post my self-drawn story art, which are artistically... not hideous, at least.

Tumblr: [ ] This used to be where I would post links to my new stories and art, but it has shifted over the past year to primarily display sample shots of my cosplays/props.

Facebook: [ https://www.facebook.com/Saerzion ] My public page for everything related to my cosplay, artwork, and gaming. If for some reason you'd like to see the face of the one responsible for the literary travesties known as my fics, you'll find it here.

Twitter: [ https://twitter.com/Saerzion ] My somewhat active updates feed. I post here when I have something snarky to say directly to various video game developers. (And to round out the epidemic that is my presence in social media, I'm also on Pinterest and Instagram under the same name.)


[ STORY ART ]

I draw all my story artwork myself because I insist on making my own life harder.
