There isn't much to tell about me.

I like to read and write like everybody else on fanfiction.net.
I have a real life, like the rest of us, that has the tendency to get in the way of writing.
I try to update once a month, given my life it's the only realistic timespan I can give you.
I review only when I really have something to say.

Notes on my update rate:
I found out that my ability to write a story depends on my mood. For example I can't write a happy story when I'm in a bad mood. Same goes for inspiration. There are some days I spent sitting in front of a half-finished chapter and I can't get it on paper. I guess it's the same for everyone else.
I also have a full-time job which means I work at least eight hours a day (it is more on a regular basis).
So please don't ask for a update three hours after I posted a new chapter. Saying I update every story at least once a month might be a bit optimistic. Though I'll do my very best to keep that timeframe.
Thank you for your understanding.

Trivia Corner for my Stories:

Oneshots:

A Game of Chess (Star Wars): When I read The Sith-Code for Non-Psychos by Allronix (can be found on AO3) the idea of a morally grey Obi-Wan practically jumped on me. And then I remembered a passage from Chasing Redemption by Estora (a story I read years ago) where Obi-Wan defeated Palpatine in a chess match without Palpatine noticing until it was to late. Those two ideas mixed and this oneshot is the result. I wrote it in one sitting within a few hours.

Brothers (Hetalia): Okay where did this idea come from?
Well both the French and the Germans claim Charlemagne/Karl den Großen as their first real ruler and both countries have their roots in the Francian Empire which was split in three after Charles death. West Francia became France, East Francia became the Holy Roman Empire and then Germany, Middle Francia disappeared as a kingdom and left behind the Benelux, Switzerland and other small kingdoms which were absorbed by larger countries, so Germany and France a really just estranged brothers.
Saarland/Sarre is a small German state which had rich coal deposits. After WWII it was under French protection as the Saar Protectorate and they wanted to integrate it into French territory something the other Allies shot down. In 1954 it was decided that the Saarland should become a European territory but that decision was shot down by the Saarland citizens themselves in a referendum in 1955. This decision was perceived as the people's wish to re-join the Federal Republic of Germany which they did in 1957.
Sorry if I am rambling but history is a passion of mine and I could talk about it for hours...
If you want to know more about the background read Wikipedia...

Days in June (Hetalia): That one-shot follows the real events of the national uprising in the GDR in June 1953.
The story started when I was still in school years ago. I did research for a history paper on that topic and of course when you do research on the internet there are a lot of distractions and I stumbled over Hetalia. I decided writing this story would be more fun than writing that paper. I still had to do the research but suddenly it was a lot more fun...
By the way June 17th was the national holiday in West Germany till the reunification in 1990. It was supposed to symbolise the solidarity between East and West. After German reunification it became October 3rd (that's when they signed the treaty in 1990. The Fall of Berlin Wall was on November 9th 1989)

Work in Progress:

A Less Civilised Age (Star Wars): I love time travel stories and I love the Obi-Wan portrayed by Ewan McGregor (the best thing that came from the prequels) so I wrote one myself. But I didn't want to use the overused approach of old Obi-Wan traveling back in time to change the future so I did it the other way round. I dumped young Obi-Wan who hasn't amassed the guilt his older self has in the dark future and watch what will happen.
With this story I have a basic idea where it is going and I have bits and pieces from everywhere in the storyline in a document called 'what a mess' (which was the originally intended title). Not in any kind of order but it is there.
Currently I am revising and replotting the Story so there wont be updates in the immediate future.

Senbon Sakura (Naruto): The cover image is my own work and while drawing I thought to myself what would have happened in Sakura's life to make her look like this. Less girly and more like her inner tomboyish voice. Then it hit me: She met Naruto instead of Ino. And here we go.
It is a what if scenario I didn't think trough. It just hopped into my mind one day and refused to leave until I put it on paper. I don't know where this is going and I write when I get some inspiration. Perhaps I should think of it as an adventure. You never know what is behind the next corner. I really hope I wont just rehears what happens in the manga.
I made the decision to not keep the team assignments since I can't write Sasuke without bashing him and I hate bashing characters. So he will get a smaller role in this story.
After I got so many positive and encouraging reviews I started planning this out.
I choose the title because senbons are going to be this Sakura's preferred weapon.
Right now there is some clean up going on with the chapters that are already posted. Please be patient. The next update comes when I'm done with the clean up.
Have fun reading.
