Welcome to Gotham.

About Me: I love to play video games, and I love to write. And, I have a lot of favorite things, as you will see.

Favorite Colors: Red, Black, Violet, Green

Favorite Animals: Echidnas, Bats, and anything with scales (though especially chameleons)

Favorite Characters of My Favorite Fandoms: Scarecrow (Batman), The Riddler (Batman), Knuckles (Sonic), The Mad Hatter (Alice in Wonderland), Falco (Star Fox), Leon (Star Fox)

Favorite Books: And Then There Were None, Wuthering Heights, Alice's Adventures in Wonderland, Demian

Favorite Movies: All of the Batman movies that were made in the 90s (Some are better than others, but, bits and pieces of all of them are pretty wonderful), The Nightmare Before Christmas and pretty much anything Tim Burton produced or directed, the Harry Potter movies, any movie with Jim Carrey in it

Favorite Musical(s): Well, I don't know many, honestly. But, I love Wicked. And, I like a song or two from Chicago. (I'm more into the songs than I am the shows, but, still...)

Favorite Actor: Jim Carrey

Favorite Actress: Helena Bonham Carter

Favorite Music: Evanescence, Lady Gaga, Adam Lambert, Within Temptation, Three Days Grace, Kerli, Britney Spears

Favorite Video Game: Batman: Arkham Asylum. And, yes, I pre-ordered Arkham City as soon as I could. And, now I just have to wait until October 18...

Favorite Place: Gotham City, of course.

Favorite Quote of the Moment: "There's enough powder in that helmet to panic a pachyderm!" -- Scarecrow in Batman: The Animated Series "Fear of Victory"

Other Things to Know: I really am not a fan of Nolan's Batman movies. Like... At all. Batman Begins has a FEW decent moments, but... Otherwise, just don't even get me started. Hopefully, that's not a complete, heart-breaking shocker to anyone. Most of the characterization I have for my characters comes from Batman: The Animated Series -- which is simply amazing. Bits and pieces of character traits, dialogue ideas, costumes, etc. come from the 90s movies, some comics, and Batman video games (mostly Arkham Asylum, but you'd be surprised at the ideas that can come from playing Lego Batman, too).

My huge obsession right now is Batman -- pretty much has been for the past nine months, now, I guess. Since I just re-discovered the wonderful world of the Batman universe. So, though I have read other fanfiction in the past, I've been mostly interested in Batman fics lately. Perhaps I'll branch out if, somehow, I grow a little bit less obsessed with all things Scarecrow... (That's probably not going to happen.) Anyway...

Honestly, I don't write much romance. Mostly because it's difficult for me, and I always think it's awkward when I write it. My strengths are in characterization, and my style isn't quite the best for romance stories. However, I am trying my best to improve upon that... And, what better way to do so than by practicing?

Ironically, though I don't write it well, romance is just about the only thing I'll read a fanfic for. Which is odd, I guess, but... When I do read other fanfics, I mostly read for HarleyxJoker or RiddlerxScarecrow (the latter of which desperately needs more recognization -- the reason I'm considering practicing my romance-writing skills). Occasionally, a good summary will catch my attention, and I'll read a story based on that.

Information on Current Stories-In-Progress:

Atychiphobia -- This is my first-published fic for Batman and my opening fic for this account. I'm planning on semi-weekly updates, and I have absolutely no deadline for finishing. Part Two begins August 23!

Riddle Me A Rhyme -- My first attempt at RiddlerxScarecrow. I'm desperately hoping that this story is going to help me write better romance. And, I'm putting as much time and effort into writing it as I can afford to; I really want this to turn out well. Lots of ideas for developing the story, and it's going to include quite a few other characters.
