Hello,

I'm from Melbourne, Australia, though not originally, and I do, of course, enjoy writing. I would describe myself as a one-shot writer who likes an introspective character fiction. I love reading a great intricate plot (which you'll discover by taking in my favourites list), but I myself have not yet mastered the art of pre-planning. Most often in my work I like to focus on what I feel is 'the point of change', the moment where a character who was one way is now, because of this point, different. This will leave you with plenty of open endings, I love open endings, don't you? My stories, I've been told, are sometimes sad. I don't really warn for sadness or death etc. there's no warning labels on the back of a novel... but I never 'do something' without purpose so I hope that is suitable recompense should you run into a surprise you may not like.

I love writing Prince of Tennis, xXxholic and Harry Potter. In the future I hope to do more Harry Potter work and to finally write a fanfiction for a manga I've loved for many years, From Eroica With Love. I also have plans for more xXxholic stories on little post it notes here and there.

Please feel free to drop by my livejournal and comment. All fiction is sorted by tags. I have a couple original works there if you wish to read them.

Please respect my prerogative to decide where my work shall be seen and do not post my work on other websites/forums including self publishing sites like wattpad and feedbook (which has recently occurred). You may post links to my work here or on LJ to any forum/list/etc. you like.

A note on Translations:

I've decided to comment as there has been a couple of enquires that didn't work out. Any of my stories may be translated as long as they conform to all of the following caveats.
A) You must translate the fiction in its entirety. No clipping out scenes you don't like or approve of. (e.g. I had a request to leave out the homosexual content of one story). My reason? Because I write for purpose and effect; If it's in the story it's meant to be. I'm pretty harsh with the editing, so it's unlikely to be extraneous info.
B) It must be posted on one of my accounts (either or LJ) under my username. So when the translation is complete the you will need to email me the document for uploading. Translators and beta readers will be given all due credit and appreciation as well as links to their personal sites/works if they desire. I realise this sounds restrictive and labourious but I have many reasons for this. Firstly, because it is still my work even if it is in another language, and feedback, stats and contact with readers is the byproduct reward for my work. When my work is posted on another person's account I do not receive the benefit of this feedback. Secondly, as my creation I reserve the right to control distribution, which leads to the third point, which is, I wish to reserve my ability to also remove my work from the web should it be necessary or politic to do so. As much as we might, in our own opinions, be 'harmlessly borrowing' other peoples' original characters, the fact remain that it is breech of copyright and my work may one day need to be removed.

I hope my requirement and reasons are understandable to everyone

Update: 02/11/09

In the past I have mostly written for Prince of Tennis, and in that series I mostly wrote Yuushi and Gakuto. I enjoyed developing their characters, as they weren't very developed in the series, and I also liked, in my own way, defending them from some of the overly shallow or heartless interpretations of their personalities that entered the fandom. Whilst doing that I found many other talented writers who were also fond of this sideline pairing. I am sad to say that after posting a couple of my stories that were lost on my harddrive, it is unlikely that I will write more Prince of Tennis fanfiction. In my defense I feel I have written a reasonable number of stories, and there is only so many time I can take a hammer to the couple before you all get bored . I hope to come back in the future with stories for other series that I am interested in.
