Author has written 4 stories for Mario, and Super Smash Brothers.

Call me Sally or Sal. Or just call me whatever you’d like.

I write a lot of practice fanfiction so I can hone my writing skills and eventually go about writing a novel. This is where I’ll post a lot of my stories—it’s easier to track my progress when I have all my pieces in one place. To be fair, I’ll write whatever strikes my fancy, but I’ve always been fond of the Mario franchise, so expect lots of that. You can also expect related fandoms to feature here, like Super Smash Brothers. And since I like to write stories with at least a few dark themes, most of my stuff will be rated K or T.

Be honest and harsh with your reviews. Otherwise, I won’t know what to improve!

[A quick warning: I don’t really focus too much on romantic relationships between characters, so if you’re hoping for a certain pairing to appear sometime, this probably isn’t the right account for you to be reading. I’ll write about a couple if it serves the plot, or if the relationship has a particularly interesting dynamic, but I don’t do much for couple-centric stories.]

I'm also active on Tumblr and Archive of Our Own under the same username, but this is probably going to be my main platform for now.

The Coward and the Beast by dragonkeeper19600 reviews
One winter's night, a princess committed a grave insult. As punishment, she was transformed into a beast. To change back, she must earn the love of another. But, who would fall in love with a beast? Certainly not a coward of a man who falls to pieces at the mere idea of a monster. A Luigi-based retelling of the tale as old as time.

Painted With Promises by Crystal Rose of Pollux reviews
[Takes place between SMB 2 and 3, melds both the old Brooklyn canon and the Yoshi's Island canon] It's not that the brothers weren't grateful that Peach funded the renovation of a small cottage just for them to stay in the Mushroom Kingdom. It's just that it made them miss home, and left them slightly confused as to what "home" was.

Agent to Agent reviews
Snake was elated to find someone that he could get along with in Smash. However, it was a bit disheartening that the most relatable person he'd met in Smash was a twelve year old octopus.
