Well, hello there! Welcome to the strange and fantastical world of me! But if you are here, you're probably wondering who I am. Let's see... I have loved fiction since I was little, and was inducted into "geek culture" from an early age. How early, you ask? I read the Harry Potter series in first grade, and had watched the original Star Wars trilogy by the time I was five. Both of my parents are huge literature junkies (one even has a degree), and they are where I can proudly say any talent I possess with words stems from.

I have steadily joined fandom after fandom, from the Inheritance Cycle to Marvel to A Song of Ice and Fire. (Game of Thrones is great, but the books are where it's at, guys, come on.) I am open to any story that can engage me, and my latest obsession is anime. And I OBSESS. If I say I'm into something, I know that thing. Forgot what Sajin Komamura's Bankai was from Bleach? Kojuko Tengen Myo'o , thank you very much. What was the name of Caster's Master from Fate/Zero? Ryuunosuke Uryuu. Want to know who the most feared Stark in history was? Cregan Stark, who created the term "hour of the wolf" when he ruled Westeros unopposed by even the king for a whole hour, and was once hailed by Price Aemon the Dragonknight as the finest swordsman Aemon ever faced. Sorry, I couldn't resist tossing in a Game of Thrones reference. All of those facts were from my head, I promise. Not that I can prove it or anything, but you'll just have to trust me there.

I love creative writing, which is what drew me to fan fiction in the first place. I currently have 2 Fairy Tail fics in the works, which will be finished, despite the fact that life is forcing me to take my sweet time on them. Other fandoms you may see me post fanfics about include: Soul Eater, RWBY, The Inheritance Cycle, and a few others I may decide on. Let me say, though, if I ever post a story, that is a personal promise to you guys that I will finish it, no matter how long it takes.

Other things about me. I live in California, so I'm no stranger to the sun and beach or the mountains and streams. It also means I am getting thirstier every day! I'm a bit of a showoff, which you may have divined from the self-indulgent knowledge dump in the second paragraph. I was also skipped from first to third grade, because my school said I was too advanced for my grade, so I'm at least a year younger than everyone else in my current grade. Usually it's two years. I don't usually mind, but it's hell to have to play water polo hole guard against dudes two years your senior. I love music. Everything is better when done to music, especially writing. As I write this, "Friction" by Imagine Dragons blares in my ears.

I absolutely love the FanFiction community for the warm welcome it has given me. I've met and talked with a lot of interesting and amazing writers in my short time on this site, and it has really helped me see and appreciate beloved stories and characters in a new light. I hope to be writing for it for a long time, and I hope they enjoy my work as much as I've enjoyed theirs. So on that note, let's go have an adventure!

With much affection,

Some stuff I've learned:

Inconsistency is the defining trait of humanity.

Suffering isn't a contest. With that being said, make sure you lose it.

90% of disagreements are caused by people not knowing how to disagree.

If you ever find someone you can be honest with, you've found someone worth keeping around.

Ignorance is bliss in the same way hard drugs are: It rots your brain and eventually kills you.

People who say the world never hands you anything are just too proud to admit they took more than what it offered. So you shouldn't be ashamed to do that too.
