I swear, it's not my fault if you're stuck on my profile page. My hands are clean in the eyes of the law!

Still, since I feel awkward having nothing here at all, I suppose some basic info is in order?

Yes, the profile picture is me, and yes, I am paler than Edward from Twilight, though I sadly have not yet developed the ability to sparkle. Let's chalk that one up to a work in progress, I suppose? Beyond that, I'm just a simple 25 year old trying to learn to write, and the emphasis is placed heavily on 'trying'. I like to think of it as trying in the same way Laurel 'tries' not to nail Hardy's hand to a plank of wood; it's a genuine effort, but the result will inevitably be painful for everyone involved.

I'll be working on a few ideas for fictions to come, having just finished, at the time of writing, 'Moments that define us'. I acknowledge it's not a particularly creative fic, and was mainly intended as a way to 'dip my toe in'. I do have plans for the next fiction, and I hope it will be a lot more interesting. I have the plans for the first few chapters of it in hand already, and will be hopefully putting out the first on the 5th or 6th August, so if you're interested, that's the date to watch for.

With that, I really have exhausted my creativity, and thinking on it, that's probably not an especially promising sign for fics to come. Perhaps I will just have to rely on my wit, charm, and infinite charisma...

We really are in trouble, folks.
