Hello and Welcome to my Bio: I suppose you're here to learn something about me.

Well I'm afraid there's not much to say. I am a Christian and I am male. I am a big fan of Bleach because of its characters and the setting. I also have a reasonable knowledge of other anime and manga that I have watched and read through.

I am working on several, but in such a way that they're either in first draft development (one at a time) and second draft development (I may switch between these). Regardless, the entire story will be complete before I start uploading, and uploads are meant to be once a week.

On writing fiction: There are so many ways to do it right and wrong, depending on what works for the individual, that I'll just give some really useful tips.

1) First drafts are meant to be bad. They exist to get your ideas on paper, and no editing is needed. The second draft is where you start adding, trimming, adjusting, and making your story consistent. The third draft is where you start polishing.

2) Pen/Pencil and paper are great tools for first drafts, especially since you can make notes and such in the margins to help you string and make adjustments when typing it into your second draft (which I do).

3) Know your canon well enough to understand how the world works. This is crucial, as accidentally breaking how canon works, and intentionally breaking how canon works, are two very different things that couldn't be more obvious. In Bleach, for example, accidentally breaking a canon law of nature will 99% of the time end in a plot hole you can't escape. Some stories (several) have made it to over 200,000 words before running into a story-breaking plot hole that developed 5,000 words in. That's gotta be a hard pill to swallow, and the answer I've seen is to either lampshade it and break suspension of disbelief, or rewrite it. 200,000 words is a lot to rewrite. Most just give up writing it, which is a shame, but understandable, too. I don't envy anyone with that choice to make.

I should probably let you know I don't write lemons (I will read them, probably shouldn't though). I love intimate and passionate scenes, but I don't need to describe the act of sex (or sexual acts) to write one.

I like constructive criticism, so if you take issue with my story, please let me know via review or PM. Thanks in advance.

A while ago, I received a review from a guest complaining about a review I had made on another story... and quite honestly, that's not cool. If you have an issue with a review I have made: please log in to your account and send me a PM. Not only is a review like that a cheap shot (because I get no chance to respond as to why I reviewed like I did), it is also completely unrelated to the story that received the review (It would be fine if something in the review was related to my story). I have thus decided I will not humor such reviews and promptly delete them. To said person I am addressing: please send me a PM so we may discuss this properly, I don't bite (my vampirism was cured years ago ;p) and will do my best to keep things civil. Thank you in advance.

Since late October 2015 I have been dealing with a constant dizziness and lightheadedness. I normally wouldn't say anything but occasionally I have been making mental errors that I do not consider the normal spacing out. This has negatively affected my ability (at times) to review and write to some degree. If you think I have been unfair, just let me know and I'll look it over and respond.

Update: Another shock to my brain, as well as depression/bipolar has made things more difficult yet.

Favorites

Manga: Bleach (deeply flawed, but still my favourite)

Anime: Eureka 7

Manwha: Tower of God

(American) Cartoon: Static Shock

Male manga/anime Character: Ichigo Kurosaki (Bleach) - I identify with him more than any other character I have come across.

Female manga/anime Character: Tomo Aizawa (Tomo-chan wa Onnanoko!) - I love her tomboyish character and how she's trying to grab the attention of her childhood crush (who tends to see her as a guy) by becoming more "girly" and naturally failing at it while revealing her own natural, more rough and tumble charm.

Least Favorites (Of things I have tried to read/watch)

Male Character: Issei Hyoudou (High School DxD) - Almost all of the potential of the High School DxD franchise is ruined by this character. In fact, I couldn't get past the first few episodes because of this character.

Female Character: Sakura Haruno (Naruto) - Terrible judge of character, extremely unreasonable, and thinks she can convince a person to change their ways just because she is herself (It's been a few years so things may have changed since i last read it). By NO means does this justify Sakura bashing, that is just stupid.

Manga: Too many manga (good and bad) for me to remember the bad ones.

Anime: High School DxD - Issei is the reason; without him I may actually like the Anime. How? Because I know it's fiction. If I didn't separate reality and fiction... well, I'd never read much, would I? I'd be in a room with padded walls.

(American) Cartoon: Family Guy - The humor is 99% miss for me which leaves a bunch of irritating characters, awkward situations, and stupid... everything. I've got over 20 episodes under my belt over the years... and it still sucks.

The Concept of Love

I personally believe that the word 'Love' is the greatest tragedy to happen to the English language because we have one word to describe what the Greek language used six words to cover (other languages use multiple words too). They are:

1) Eros: Sexual Passion (Not necessarily a positive thing because the irrationality that tended to result from eros was viewed as dangerous in many cases by the ancient Greeks).

2) Philia: Deep Friendship (Essentially a more intimate form of camaraderie, more valued to the Greeks than Eros).

3) Ludus: Playful Love (Basically the affection between children or young lovers: flirting may be contained in this definition but the term can also mean participating in and enjoying activities with friends).

4) Agape: Love for Everyone (Known as selfless love; divine/godly love; or universal loving kindness).

5) Pragma: Longstanding Love (A mature form of love based on understanding what it took to stay in love which includes the willingness to find compromise).

6) Philautia: Love of the Self (Kind of a two-part definition here: one is the obvious 'obsessed with self' love and the other is the 'feeling secure in yourself' love).

So there you have it, hopefully an eye-opening list that helps you if you write or ever decide to write in the future. By the way, I pulled most of this from an article (and shortened it significantly) on yesmagazine called "The Ancient Greeks’ 6 Words for Love (And Why Knowing Them Can Change Your Life)". Please visit that article if you want a more in-depth explanation.

Relationships

I usually like a pairing if it makes sense to the pair working out long-term. I also will only post about potential couples within works I am writing about.

Bleach:

Ichigo, one on one, with most women from Bleach have the potential to make sense in a relationship, therefore, I will comment on who makes the most sense and who makes the least sense.

Most sense: Ichigo and Senna (If we are allowing non-canon characters) - Pretty sure they would have married if Senna didn't literally turn into nothing.

Most sense: Ichigo and Tatsuki - They are childhood friends and regularly interact because they live fairly close to each other; they also have more similarities in their personalities than any other pairing potential. There is also a sweet side-story Kubo wrote about Tatsuki questioning her relationship with Ichigo.

Least sense: Ichigo and Rangiku - She would probably irritate him really badly. Yeah she's a flirt, but that says nothing about compatibility.

Least sense: Ichigo and Orihime - Before you find your pitchforks, please hear me out. I like Orihime as a character, but she has so little in common with Ichigo that I just don't see it happening. She is a very accepting and soft individual, which, for the short-term, works really well. But their motivations and interests outside of a relationship are too different. Yes, both Ichigo and Orihime both care for their enemies, but the reasoning behind it is different: Ichigo is more altruistic and Orihime is more selfish (which is fine, it's part of her character). Ichigo often does something because it's the right (and often necessary) thing to do, but he takes nothing lying down and will call you out if something is wrong. Orihime doesn't want to see anyone get hurt because she fears pain and knows it is the root of a revenge cycle. But she will also act like a wallflower to try to let a situation die down.

Yes, I know this is canon. But canon didn't earn it. So Ichigo/Orihime still doesn't make sense romantically beyond 10 years. Now, if a continuation of Bleach had Orihime die early on, and show the family dealing with that... I might be willing to change my mind. Or if Tite Kubo rewrote the manga to actually earn it. Until then, it's still "least sense".

RWBY:

Pyrrha Nikos and Jaune Arc: It already happened, it sucks that Pyrrha got killed before anything more could happen.

Blake Belladonna and Sun Wukong.

No opinion of the other characters yet (I am behind on the show).

Hellsing:

Alucard and Seras Victoria: There's a sexual tension between the two the whole series, so I vote for them... though I doubt vampires care about romance all that much.

Suspension of Disbelief

It can make a poorly worded idea readable and a masterfully worded work of literary art unbearable. Things need to make sense and if they don't all the patchwork in the world won't fix anything. Just because you want something to happen, doesn't mean it is okay to skip logic to achieve it. Give a reasonable explanation and make sure that explanation is logically sound as well.

Characterization

This is something that genuinely bothers me because so many stories take a character; gut their existence of what makes them, them; and keep the name and pass it off as making sense (yes this is one way to break suspension of disbelief). If alterations are made to explain the situation of why and how a character came to be that way then it's usually fine; but don't have them do something that they would never do to begin with when there's no reason for it.

God bless and have a good day everyone.
