About the Author

Well, let's see...I've been described (and described myself) as an obsessive fangirl. I love to read and write (although, for some reason, multi-chapter stories tend to end up unfinished). I'm a hopeless romantic and I love angst, so those themes somehow manage to crop up in everything I read or write. I have too many favourite couples to name. I sometimes wish I lived in one of my favourite fictional worlds, but alas, that is not to be. School has taken over my life, so writing is taking a back-seat (unfortunately), and I hope to eventually finish the stories I've started. Aside from reading and writing, I like to play video games, draw, and go out with my friends. I dislike spiders (greatly), and I tend to dislike OC's in fanfictions--there are exceptions, of course, but not that many. And I get really angry when others get angry about the fandoms and (sometimes cliched) storylines that are popular in different sections. That's about all for now :)

Upcoming Releases

Current Chapters: 6

Expected Chapters: 35-40

Other: Decus-centric, 3rd-person narration. Some Alice interludes, 1st-person narration. Possible shounen-ai side pairing of Richter/Aster or Richter/Emil. No set title yet. On hiatus until further notice.

Current Projects

3. Innocent Days: A Baten Kaitos (Origins) one-shot collection featuring the familial dynamics between Baelheit and Milly for the 7 Lies community on LiveJournal.

4. He Could Be: A Kingdom Hearts AU. Cathartic. Angsty. Nami/Roku, probably unrequited. Vingette-like chapters. Sporadic updates.

Quotes:

1. "Why? In some cases, we learn more by looking for the answer to a question and not finding it than we do from learning the answer itself. This is one of those cases. I could tell you why, but at the moment it would only be more confusing. If you grow up with any kind of sense-which you sometimes make me doubt-you will very likely reach your own conclusions...They will probably be wrong. However, since they will be yours, you will feel a little more satisfied with them." -Dallben (The Book of Three)

2. "Young Lord, be careful. I know you're good-hearted, well-meaning, kindly, with a sweet and innocent nature. Therefore, you're about to do something stupid." -Mafoo (The Remarkable Journey of Prince Jen)

3. "Let me analyze it. Ah. Yes. I can identify the subtle ingredients. One part fried cabbage. One part wandering livestock. Two parts old rags. Four parts sweat. The rest, a concentrated absence of cash. Mixed with the correct proportions of thievery, beggary, and a generous pinch of greedy officials, it is called 'Sublime Essence of Wretchedness'" -Mafoo (The Remarkable Journey of Prince Jen)

4. "...Incompetent good intentions will only bring tragedy. If you intend to do what is right, you need the strength to accompany that. You lacked that. You were weak." -Kratos Aurion (Tales of Symphonia)

5. "...Power is more than just your physical strength. The strength to acknowledge your crimes. The strength to remember them. You must have them as well." -Kratos Aurion (Tales of Symphonia)

6. "Humans are shameless creatures that carelessly ignore any misfortune which does not befall them directly. They can --and often do-- turn a blind eye to all manner of wickedness so long as it does not touch them or their kin. They will bow their heads, condemning those victims for bringing calamity upon themselves, and then they will cast their eyes toward heaven in thanks while their neighbours lay dying around them." -Soren (Fire Emblem: Path of Radiance)

7. "Ibn Bashir, count the blessings of your birth stars that a butcher needs no more brains than the meat he carves." -Husari ibn Musa (The Lions of Al-Rassan)

8. "Men always believe they are in control of everything around them,...When they find out they are not, they think they have failed, instead of learning a simple truth women already know." -Aviendha (The Fires of Heaven)

9. "A fine thing. The High Lords of Tear sweated when Rand al'Thor looked at them, and the Cairhienin might offer him their throne. The greatest Aiel army the world had ever seen had crossed the Dragonwall on the orders of the Car'a'carn, the chief of chiefs. Nations trembled at mention of the Dragon Reborn. Nations! And if he did not find his clothes, he would sit waiting on permission to go outside from a lot of women who thought they knew better about everything than he did." -Rand al'Thor (The Fires of Heaven)

10. "Ike...Please live...Even if all the cities burn, and the seas swallow Tellius...You mustn't die...Not you..." -Soren (Fire Emblem: Radiant Dawn)

11. "Men!...Too blind to see what a stone could see, and too stubborn to be trusted to think for themselves." -Min Farshaw (The Dragon Reborn)

12. "Of course, ... after you leave, the thought may strike me that it's a pleasant day for a short ride to go picking wildflowers, which might be hard to find, especially since it's almost winter. Not that I'd be following you, you understand. But I might, by accident, lose my way, and mistakenly happen to catch up with you. By then, it would be too late for me to come home, through no fault of my own." -Eilonwy (The High King)

13. "Courage is the magic that turns dreams into reality." -Richter Abend (Tales of Symphonia 2)

Notes -- Last Update: February 26th, 2010 @ 11:28PM

Everything big is still on hiatus, so don't be expecting updates. I'm nearly finished Innocent Days and I'm in the process of finishing part six of it, so that should be done within the next month or so, provided I don't totally forget it's on my hard drive again. I'm also writing a new Kingdom Hearts AU that is mainly for cathartic purposes of my own, but I hope you enjoy it nonethless. Who'd have thought I'd write a het pairing for KH? Not me, that's for sure. Not that it is likely to be a requited love, but who knows?
