I am a 29-year-old recent college graduate from La Crescenta, CA. In addition to writing, I am also an active birder and naturalist, which you will often see reflected in my stories and characters. My favorite bands are "Weird Al" Yankovic, Garbage, Nine Inch Nails, and Metallica, although I actually have very eclectic taste, and will listen to almost anything. The same applies to my taste in films: I can like anything, although some of my favorites include: Jurassic Park, Star Wars, Final Destination, James Bond, Back to the Future, and films from Disney and Pixar or written/directed by Quentin Tarantino or Christopher Nolan, as well as most superhero films. Favorite TV shows include: anything by Joss Whedon (particularly Buffy or Firefly), Arrested Development, Breaking Bad, Castle, Community, Criminal Minds, Gilmore Girls, How I Met Your Mother, Parenthood, and That 70's Show.

My stories here and at Fiction Press (where I have the same username) will frequently revolve around the characters I have created for original stories of mine that will inevitably be sent off to publishers, once I get around to writing them. Here on Fan Fiction, the idea is that I will place these characters, whoever might be appropriate, into the fanfiction situation alongside the non-original characters created for whatever the basis of the fanfiction may be. In this way, not only will I get practice writing with these characters, future readers of mine will also have the chance to see them before they make their way into an "official" story of mine. These fanfiction stories will combine "canon" events, that are "real" events in my story world, with "non-canon" events, that are merely there to serve the fanfiction. I encourage anyone who reads a story with my original characters to check out my other stories with original characters, because they are all interconnected, and you might have fun piecing together the world I've created.

CONCERNED READERS: I'm well aware of how much the first two Animaniacs of the Caribbean stories are out-of-character for the Animaniacs involved. I wrote them in high school, using a fusion fic premise that, in retrospect, clashes too strongly to really work very efficiently, and can attribute to the constant delays in the At World's End parody, which I have been trying to make more true to the characters. Believe me when I say I'm as big a fan of the Animaniacs as anyone else here, having grown up watching them and owning all of the DVDs and I'm deeply sorry for the uncomfortable feelings I may have caused (though let's be honest, looking for fanfics of anything without blue content is a task in and of itself). In short: Animaniacs of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl and Dead Man's Chest are OLD SHAME. I will gladly join you in mocking them.

I hope you enjoy reading my work.

(POSSIBLE) FORTHCOMING STORIES:

Any number of Goosebumps stories (ideas/suggestions welcome; at least one will be set in the 1990s, as a classic Goosebumps story would be)

A Midsummer Night's Tragedy (still a comedy, of course)

The Comedy of Othello
