Poll: I have a number of different fic ideas in the works for when I finish the fic Mysterious Ways (that's a long way off but I'd like to ask now). What direction do you think I should go after I finish it? (Pick up to two and if you have an alternate suggestion then hit "Something completely different" and send me a PM with your suggestion).

Author has written 7 stories for Borderlands, and Pokémon.

Alright, if you're here that means that you are at least semi-interested in finding out about me. Or you perhaps clicked the wrong button (in which case I ask why are you still reading this?).

So about me...

I never really considered myself much of a writer (still don't), but one day I just started typing away a fanfic on the notes application of an iPod touch. Many years later, I'm still doing it (I have since largely abandoned the iPod touch though).

I'm a big fan of Borderlands and that is what most if not all of the things I post will be.

In general I'm pretty much a geek and enjoy your standard geek fare. Comics, video games, RPG's, science fiction, tabletop gaming, fantasy, pop-culture based podcasts; I'm in to all that sorta stuff. Some might also consider me a hipster. Those people are incorrect.

That's about all you'll get out of me without asking specific questions.

As a general rule I'm more than happy to take any sort of suggestion/request that you might like to make and I will do my very best to write it. Also if you'd ever like to just chat by all means send me a message. I get lonely sometimes.

If you ever come across a very good Borderlands story please, please send it my way. I have trouble finding good stuff to read and I generally don't like having to search through all of the awful stuff just to find five-hundred words of something good.

Also, if you would ever, for whatever reason, like someone to edit your work, help you write or anything of that nature, I am more than willing to help in my limited capacity to do those things.

That's about it for me. Good for you if you read the whole thing.


My Fics:

Borderlands Collection

Status: Eternally a Work in Progress, Undergoing Revision

Summery: A collection of Borderlands one-shots. It features a variety of genres, pairs and scenarios for the Vault Hunters to traverse. A select few are related to each other but most are unrelated fics.

Mysterious Ways

Status: On Indefinite Hiatus

Summery: Nobody knows just who Zer0 is, but when the resident mechromancer discovers the assassin's true identity, Zer0's life begins to fall apart. Soon the assassin is on the defensive and trying to keep the others from finding out. But why does Zer0 insist on keeping it from the others? (A spin-off of one of the Borderlands Collection's more popular one-shots.)

Captain and the Hunter

Status: On Indefinite Hiatus

Captain Scarlett's luck has taken a turn for the worst, the Vault Hunter's have looted the treasure of the sands, her crew has deserted her and she's been left for dead in the middle of the desert. But maybe her run of bad luck is over. After all, that Hammerlock fellow who just rescued her seemed nice enough. Maybe it's about to turn around for the Pirate Queen.

Claptrap's Secret Stash

Status: Complete

Have you ever wondered what it would be like to complete the objectives that Claptrap gives you to find his secret stash? Well wonder no more, in this fic you'll find the answers you've been looking for. In this AU, the Vault Hunters didn't "subvert Claptrap's meticulously planned challanges" and find themselves face to face with the challenges of collecting all those brown rocks, killing Ug-Thak Lord of Skags, pilfering the Lost Staff of Mount Scheuller, Destroying the Destroyer of Worlds, and dancing. A collaboration between WhimsicalMayhem, thewhitepatch, Civilized Lee and myself.

Short Change Hero

Status: On Indefinite Hiatus

So... You want to hear a story eh? How about the one where the fate of Pandora hung in the balance between the Vault Hunters and the tyrant Handsome Jack and the dreaded Hyperion Corporation? A complete retelling of the Borderlands 2 storyline.

Drew vs. Brendan

Status: Complete

When Drew decides to ask May out on a date, a certain rival trainer named Brendan, with his own feelings for May, just can't help but intervene. But at the end of the day who's going to be the one who ends up with May? Brendan? Drew? Neither?

A Prequel to Wayward Son: The Claptrap Story. In a very unexpected place, Angel reconnects with someone she met when she was a child.
