Author has written 52 stories for Batman, Batman the Animated Series, Psych, Men In Black, Hancock, Star Wars, Batman, Avengers: Earth's Mightiest Heroes, Green Lantern, Justice League, Ben 10, Watchmen, Avengers, and Spider-Man: The Animated Series.

Author has also written (and is slowly uploading) stories for Looney Tunes, Scrubs and Lego. Author often draws influence from various representations across the different media all at once so very few stories could be considered canon. Author doesn't always talk in third-person. Author should probably stop now.

As you may be able to tell, I'm a big Batman fan. I don't like the idea of the Bat Family. I tend to agree with Joker: they make him weak.

On the other hand, I love Nightwing and Red Hood. There are others I don't mind, but not all at once. There's just way too many characters involved who all seem to know each other's 'secret' identities. Anyway, moving on.

Gender: Male

Date of Birth: 1991

Nationality: English

Massive Will Smith fan, heavily into punk (though you'd never guess from appearance), avid reader of hard-boiled detective fiction (Raymond Chandler, Mickey Spillane, Carroll John Daly etc.)and a huge fan of puns and irony. All of this affects my writing in some way, sometimes subtle, sometimes not.

I'll always try to read the work of people who favourite me but I don't tend to read much outside of DC. If anyone knows of any particularly good Batman stories - written well with interesting plots, not just fluff - please recommend them to me. Reviews are always welcome.

Busy with uni and three large projects. I don't like to upload anything until I've finished so that you don't get to chapter three and spend an eternity waiting for more.

Almost six months into the year and I've only posted one story, but I got big things on the way. I got through about four chapters of one thing, then scrapped it so that's part of the hold up, but I'm also doing some longer stories, including a What If story where Dick Grayson is born before Bruce and becomes Nightwing without a Batman to mentor him. How does it effect him and how will it effect Bruce when his parents are killed years later? Another is a continuation of the BTAS episode 'Over the Edge' as if it weren't a dream, and another is a bunch of versus matches between DC and Marvel - plus more! So I will start posting more but it's gonna take some time.

Thanks, and enjoy.
