A small rectangular sign hung on the door, noticeably weathered. The cursive flourish of the letters are faded, no one has been around to repaint them. "Gone fishing!" it read in the owner's large print, "Be back soon!"

Hello C: I am a huge bookworm who will read anything, anywhere, at any time ;) There's just something so delicious, so intriguing about writing on paper that I have a compulsion to read C:

I'm a medical student trying my hand at writing stories and weaving poetry here and there when I have a spare moment. I like strong, developed characters and I do have a curiosity for the slightly unhinged. There's a fine line between a genius and a madman, people say. You have to admit though, they're really interesting and come up with the most bizarre things you can think of, leaving you puzzled and questioning for more C:

I tend to post one-shots, and if I work on multi-chapters, then I won't take on more than two projects at the same time. (I've also noticed that some people tend to follow my completed stories too. Sorry folks, but once I slap on that "complete" label, it's pretty much done. I'll only do sequels if I feel like it. Just wanted to clear that up) :3 Feel free to pm me questions or if you just feel like having a chat!

I'm on AO3 with the same username! I'll try to make sure both accounts are updated but FFN is my primary site for uploading my fics. Read and review wherever you feel more comfortable :3

Follow my writing progress and rambles on tumblr at musingsat4am! It also contains extra content for some of my stories! (The majority of the About my Stories have all been moved over there too.)

Current long-term projects:

-The Music Box

-Passacaglia (former title: 52)

-Crushed Veneer - Dark IbGarry romance/mystery

Upcoming works:

-Stutters and Mutters (bonus)

-Snow Mary and her Seven Dolls

-The Little Matchstick Girl

-Sunrise in Japan

-Inkstains

-Swan Song

Project: Passacaglia (formerly: 52)

"A collection of experimental stories exploring different aspects of the Guertena Art Museum and viewing the different events under a new light."

This was originally supposed to be a project just to help me continue writing, an exercise in consistency, but it morphed into it's own monster (lol). Think Eventualities: Guertena Gallery edition. Except there's 52 chapters :3

As with such a big project, I need help with inspiration and deciding on different prompts. You can PM me/review 52 and suggest word prompts OR a 3 sentence fic OR challenge me to write certain types of stories/pairings OR ask for a deconstruction of popular theories on the game. I want to keep 52 as interesting as possible so if I start sounding repetitive, feel free to tell me off.

Although some future chapters have already been pre-written/their prompts chosen, feel free to suggest more and I'll see what I can do ;3

Prompts are currently needed for: 19, 20, 23, 24, 26

Personal updates/Announcements:

1. My country is one of the two in this whole world that has blocked FFN. Lovely.

2. Med school takes up 99% of my time. Lovely.

3. I've decided to move permanently to AO3 (unless and until I can access FFN again). If and when I can update on FFN, I will, but future updates will be made at AO3. This account will remain as an archive of sorts. It's a shame cos I started on FFN and made friends here, but with me being unable to access the site easily to update and check on stats it's just very frustrating. It's going to take some time to move everything but in the end everything old and new will be over at AO3.

4. I feel like giving The Music Box another revamp. I'm not satisfied with the way things are right now and feel like rewriting it from the beginning, but we shall see (See no. 2 above lol). TMB right now feels a bit bloated, slow-paced and some plot points are either cringe-worthy or improbable (given the lack of research at the time) so I want to try again. And hopefully the revamp will give me a boost to finally finish this monster of a project I started years ago :)

5. You can find other progress notes and personal announcements at musingsat4am DOT tumblr DOT com :)
