Okay, people. Hi. So, a little bit about myself.

I like wolves, dragons, fantasy books, reading, writing poetry, painting, drawing, and singing.

I majored in Psychology in college.

I like the darker end of the color spectrum, or royal tones of color. (sorry if that's specific, it's the artist in me)

I'm a big manga reader, and the series that I recommend are: Death Note Bleach, FullMetal Alchemist, D-Grayman, Tsubasa Reservoir Chronicles, xxxHolic, Tower of God (which is actually manhwa but still), and Anima. As far as anime, I would say must watches are Durarara, Steins Gate, Baccano, Madoka Magica, Yuri on Ice!!, and Clannad.

My home town is in the middle of nowhere, which means for most of my life I dealt with the glories of dial-up. Yuck.

I am a nature lover. I am also an atheist.

I am very personable, though am very bad about staying in consistent contact, or consistent anything (as can be seen from my highly sporadic posting schedule).

I am currently in the process of writing and editing my own book series, a fantasy adventure for young adults. Four people meet under random happenstance in a futuristic, magically altered America, gradually being sucked into foiling a plot to change the laws of reality as they know it. It's filled with ups and downs, humor, fights to the death, and a great deal of sleuthing as the group races to beat the clock and save the world. But above all, it's a story about discovering who we really are when life puts us to the test.

And that, ladies and gentlemen, is the best summary I have ever given. For those of you who know the struggle of trying to sum up an entire world in two hundred words of less, you'll recognize how hard it can be. Huzzah for summaries!"

In order to help myself get those creative juices flowing, after three years I am getting back in the saddle and trying to ride that bucking bronco off into the sunset. God help me.

I hope to work mainly on continuing my works Fullmetal Thunder (yes, yes, I know, it's about time) and a piece I started a while back called Techno. I am also on AO3 as of now, and may be posting cleaned up versions of my works there under a different handle. If you want to look for a slightly more edited version of Fullmetal Thunder and other popular works, check me out here http:///users/pernedthegyre/pseuds/pernedthegyre . I hope to hear from you soon, faithful readers, and am ever at your service (well, maybe like seventy-five percent of the time).

Regards,

Thief of Black Winged Hearts

"When pigs fly, we're all going to get the bird swine flu!"- friend

"I'm sad. Every time we meet you seem more likeable than the last time. You seem more human. I wish all our battles could be harmless games of poker."- D-Grayman

"Not really. I've stripped a lot of guys down to their underwear playing cards."- D-Grayman

“A lesson without pain is meaningless. That's because no one can gain without sacrificing something. But by enduring that pain and overcoming it, he shall obtain a powerful, unmatched heart. A fullmetal heart.” Fullmetal Alchemist

Hey, if you are reading Fullmetal Thunder I have a pic of Ed as a Pikachu up on my deviantART account. Hope you like it! Here: http:///

I took a commission request from my beta, and on further thought decided to open up the ballpark for everyone. It'll give me something to do when I'm bored, especially now that I am trying to write a little bit daily. So if you want to shoot me something you want me to write, go ahead. Just a couple rules.

1) It has to be from a fandom where I'm familiar with the work. In other words, I have to know about it to write it. Duh. Check my favorites, it should give you a good idea, or just send me a PM.

2) I can try stuff that's rated M, but I don't have a great deal of experience writing it s who knows what will happen. Maybe I'll give it a shot sometime soon. :)

3) If I despise the pairing, I can't guarantee anything. I'm fairly open minded. I'll take yoai and yuri. If you have doubts, shoot me the idea anyway.

4) I'll do stuff that ties to other stories I've done. So if you were sitting there thinking 'It would have been so cool if this happened' that drop me a line.

5) Unless it's bashing, I do not touch Twilight. End of story.

If anyone cares enough to read this and act on the information, I will be eternally grateful. It'll make me feel wanted!
