Hey, guys, Ranchan2k3 here. Figured I should actually put some real content in this profile of mine.

First thing I'll say: I'm not going to reveal my gender, my real name, or even my age. By my way of thinking, the stories I write should stand entirely on their own merits, and if you approach my stories knowing any details at all about me, there will be a preconceived notion of what to expect, whether you the reader are consciously aware of it or not.

Beyond that, all you really need to know is that I'm a fan of several anime series, the Harry Potter series (minus Deathly Hallows - Hermione marrying Ron? Really???), and a few other things. I like a good action comedy, but romance isn't entirely dismissed out of hand, although I'll say here and now that none of my stories will include M/M slash. Nothing against it personally, it's just not my cup of tea.

The authors in my favorites list have been some of my biggest influences in writing, with my favorite to date being the great and powerful Ozzallos.

Further, those of you who took the time to read and review "Adventures in Womanhood," my first story, with suggestions on how I could improve - thank you. You guys are a large part of the reason I've improved to the point I have, and even if I never finish it, I will always leave that story up as proof of how my writing style improved over the duration of the thing, thanks to all of your advice and criticism.

I can't promise to be a very prolific writer - I generally only write when the muse strikes me - but you have my word that what and when I do write will be the absolute best that I can possibly make it.

Thanks for reading my little bit of blather, and enjoy the fruits of my labor.
