Name: Tiki Rocket. It's how my friends know me, it's how my boyfriends have known me, even my own mother calls me Tiki.

Important detail to note: The vast majority of the stories on this profile are quite old. (Please notice the dates.) It's kind of embarrassing for me, personally, to read over them -- but I don't want to delete them, either, because that's still a part of my writing history. I deleted a few older fics once upon a time and to this day wish I'd at least saved backups. Yes, they were atrocious; they were also hilarious, and a great way to measure how much my writing has improved. So if you do happen to read some of the older stuff, please be forgiving! I have since grown in writing experience.

Over the last few years, I defected from FFN for some more 'adult' sites and became active in the Harry Potter fandom. I also got into National Novel Writing Month, and took that on thrice (Tiki 2, November 1). Then, in August, Lea and I got to talking about "Code Lyoko" and her fic, "Can You Keep A Secret". She introduced me to a Lyoko fansite that features "Lyoko On Demand": all the episodes of "Code Lyoko", for people like me who don't watch television. (When last I checked, LoD was down with no signs of going back up. ;_; Sad.)

In other words, she was being an enabler, and "Code Lyoko" is the shiny, pretty, mind-altering substance she was enabling me with.

So I've returned to FFN with non-sexually graphic fanfiction for the entertainment of those who prefer their fanfiction without smut, along with a couple OCs whose codependency issues are a little worrying even to me. There are probably better Lyoko fics out there, but I like what I'm writing and I like that I don't have to stress out about it.

Recent news:

() Currently dabbling in the Code Lyoko fandom; if that's how you found me, then hi! If you read any of my other (apparently) dead storylines and wish I would revive one, feel free to say as much.
() AS OF NOW, I'm working on "Ordinary World" more steadily (it was touch and go November - January). The goal is to make some headway through the next arch of the story and begin updating a bit more regularly -- as in, more than once a month. Thanks so much to all the people who have patiently awaited new chapters! I really appreciate your interest and encouragement.
