This is a collaboration account for authors Hinaku and Sweetbriar, particularly for our Naruto fic Dance with the Devil.

We're fucking epic. :x

About the Authors
We're simply two fanfiction authors who enjoy writing fanfiction, especially together. (In fact, it seems to go much quicker when we write together.) Currently, our main project is Dance with the Devil, written for Naruto fandom, a supernatural AU set in a zombie-infested American city.

We are also both active in the ANBU-centric Naruto RP Scarlet Spiral, where Hinaku plays Takinaga Kouji and Uchiha Takuya, and Madi plays Gekkou Hayate. All of Dance with the Devil's reference OCs are from this RP, and are mostly easter eggs for the sake of the wonderful people involved. If anyone is ever curious on the 'real' Masa or Yuki or Haruichi, that's the place to find out.

About Sweetbriar
Madi is 19 years old and formerly resided in Akita-ken, Japan, but he has since returned to his home state of Rhode Island in the US.

About Hinaku
Known as Tsuki everywhere but Naruto fandom but will answer to just about anything, Hinaku (on LiveJournal as wasurenaikara) is also 18 years old BUT YOUNGER THAN MADI and currently resides somewhere near Hell, Michigan. (Her own city is far less interesting.) She also enjoys RP and writing but cannot draw to save her life. She is on deviantART as wasurenaikara, but honestly, who cares about her crap? She also loves getting random e-mails and IMs. She can be reached at tornbutterfly@, or on AIM at xx niekochana xx. She is Chinese hailing from Taiwan, fluent in Mandarin, and damn proud of it. English is her second language, so any strange sentence structures are to be blamed on that and not the fact that Hinaku has issues with over dramatizing. For Dance with the Devil, she is primarily in charge of Genma, Raidou, Kotetsu, Shibi (which she notes is not entirely unlike RPing as her brother's pet rock), keeping the bullets firing, and random other members of the ANBU crew. But of course, as with any co-authored fic, there is some overlap and some of Kotetsu's genius belongs to Madi. Just as some of Izumo's win belongs to her.

Dance with the Devil is beta'd by our very own mascot and muse, Loren. :3 We love her very, very much. She gives us feedback, tells us what works and what doesn't, and saves our cast from falling into depthless plot holes. We owe a lot to her. Pay homage to her now. Or Else. Thank you. (Loren plays Kakashi and Sehiro at Scarlet Spiral, and she has been drafted to help with the fic's Kakashi. She's just that amazing.)
