I should point out first that I'm here to write, not read.
As such, if one of my stories resembles another on the site, it is not to my knowledge.

About me:
I'm a BA in Criminal Justice, a martial artist, and an aspiring author. I have eight years of practice posted on deviantArt, original works that I'm still doing concept work on. I have thirteen book ideas, the first of which has been completed and is on Amazon (Beyond Pain, by V. Mantis). I intend to teach English in Japan someday, but for now I work a dead-end job at Slover Library in Norfolk. I'd like to finish getting official mastery in Aikido so I can change to being an Aikido instructor someday. I'm a brutally honest person, and I'm Christian.

My writing style tends to focus on current events, speaking in past-tense as if recounting such events. I never write in first-person for my projects.

Turns out that Kell of Light and Twin Humanities AREN'T my last stories here. I still want to finish Twin Humanities, but my depression is keeping me from working on anything of the sort. I'm a year behind on my novels, which is holding off the Duality arc.

I've learned a lot since I came here, on recommendation from a friend of mine, since original works on dA don't get much attention. I've had quite a mix of feedback, from simple reactions, to complex criticism, and even some reviews I don't think anyone could make sense of. In the end, I think it's been a greatly positive experience, and I owe a lot to the community here for giving me the time of day. I look forward to the rest of my time here, and I hope that, thanks to that time, my books are something to be remembered...

Screenshots of all Twin Humanities' main cast can be found here, in-game, on Dark Souls 2 SotFS. It was the last game where they could be accurately depicted in their armor.
