Yiggity-yo, fellow fans! After a ten year hiatus I'm back and working on finally finishing my huge Jak II novelization, Those Magic Changes, updating in batches as my schedule allows. If you ever wanted to unearth the sweeping drama and romance embedded within Naughty Dog's PS2 classic, do check it out. You can also read TMC on Archive of Our Own complete with embedded artwork, pseudonym fire_lemur.

I'm currently working as an artist in the video game industry, so naturally I'm big into playing games (goodness gracious, Breath of the Wild was my crack last year). I'm also very into media and story analysis, and I love applying my critical lens to the movies, anime, and manga that inspire me so much. I hope to someday combine art with storytelling full time, perhaps as a solo developer or a graphic novelist. With any luck all the hundreds of hours I've put into writing fan fiction have helped to hone my skills. :3

If you want to find me other places around the web, my portfolio is starcarrot[dot]com and my handle on Instagram and Twitter is akStarCarrot.

Even though some of it reads less than enlightened to my current sensibilities, I just can't bear to erase my original profile as follows, written in 2007. It's so very amusing over a decade later.

Name: It means "love" in latin (MWA HA! Complication!)

Age: 19

Zodiac Signs: Leo rising, Libra sun, Scorpio moon (I bet that confused you...)

Chinese Zodiac: Earth Dragon

Fave Movies: Impossible to answer... way to much of a movie junkie.

Fave Anime/Manga: Inu-Yasha, Ceres, Card Captor Sakura, Cowboy Bebop, Wolf's Rain, Saiyuki, Sailor Moon (manga only!)

Fave Games: Final Fantasy series (excluding VIII! It's a traitor to the series!), Jak series, Suikoden series Smash Bros. Melee, Lost Vikings, Tetris Attack (old school, baby!)

Fave Authors: Marion Zimmer Bradley, J. K. Rowling, Anne McCaffrey, Josie Litton, Michael Crichton

Likes: Singing, acting, writing, art, playing piano, Chinese food, watching movies, musicals, Hayao Miyazaki, Family Guy, reading, cats

Dislikes: Bigots, dogma, James Blunt, watching TV (too many damn commercials), standardized testing, seafood, screwing with couples (not always, but i usually can't stand it, especially when the sexual orientation gets fucked with. If they're straight they're straight and if they're gay they're gay—leave it like it should be!)

So far I've only tackled an enormous Jak II project, but I'm thinking about doing some Sailor Moon and Howl's Moving Castle stuff. Just for the hell of it, I'll say I'm open to requests.

Noooo! I've got a new idea for a story that I won't be able to put in writing for at least a year! I want to write another huge Jak Series fanfic that would take place around twenty years after Jak 3. I absolutely have to finish my current fanfic first though, and who knows how long that'll take...
