Coming to you from the Great White North.

I've been writing for a long time and I enjoy the constant evolution of my writing. The longer I do it, the more I learn to flesh out the scenes and better describe the action and the emotions of the characters. Hopefully I will continue to develop, since I would like to improve my ability to write more involved plots.

I'll probably only write Evangelion stories here, although there are several other anime that I enjoy. (Ghost In The Shell, Black Lagoon, Bleach, Hellsing, and Ah! My Goddess among them)

My Stories: A simple quote a character might make, or part of a conversation they might have is all it might take to spark something. Sometimes I try to hit a specific theme, but most often something just pops into my head and starts playing out. If it flows easily on its own, it will likely turn out okay. If it doesn't come fairly easily, it usually gets reworked because it likely wasn't going to work in the first place. I can usually tell within the first page whether or not its going to fly.

I constantly read and reread my work, looking for errors, scene flaws, continuity problems and checking the character's perspective on the scene. I also won't start posting a story until it's either done, or nearly done. I refuse to put out unfinished work.

Thanks for reading my stories. To any of you new readers who may have just discovered them, please drop a review on me and let me know what you think. Just because the story has been out for a while and doesn't mean you can't review it. I love reading the reviews and I appreciate the input, and whenever possible I will always try to respond even if it's just to say thanks. I take my writing seriously, because if an author doesn't, it shows. I try very hard to put out quality material for your enjoyment and your reviews let me know if I have succeeded and to what degree.

Reviews feed the author and we are all hungry here.

Remember, none of us are professional writers, and none of us should assume we're professional literary critics. Have an opinion, but be intelligent aboutit. Don't come off sounding like you are the 'great god of fan fiction'. We're here to have fun, so please, don't suck the life out of it.

I've been helping out as an "Inner Hollow' for Sabaku no Kyuubi's Bleach fic, Panther King of the Shinigami. If you haven't read it, go check it out. He does good work.

In light of the nature of a couple of stories I have been tinkering with, I felt the need to post a statement concerning a particular character's origin, and that character would be Evangelion's Rei Ayanami. (This rant will become a permanent part of my profile when I next update here)

A lot of people consider her to be a hybrid clone of both Lilith and Yui Ikari. I am NOT one of those people.

I mean, c'mon, this assertion is made in the 'suitable for toilet paper' publication known as The Red Cross Book, a pamphlet like missive that was handed out at during the run of End of Evangelion to act as a glossary of terms. If I remember correctly the entry about Rei being a Lilith/Yui clone is about twelve words long.

Do you honestly expect me to accept a twelve word statement like that to be canon? This can easily be consider a major plot element, yet it gets a short sentence in a publication that is little more than an after thought, and was probably Anno's way of giving the other middle finger to the idiots that slagged him and Gainax so badly for they way they ended the series. End of Evangelion of course being the first middle finger given to the morons that pissed, moaned, harassed the staff and vandalized the building, all over the way the series ended.

Simply put, you don't put something that significant out there in a glossary pamphlet when you DIDN'T put it in the 26 episodes you just created. It wasn't mentioned in E of E either.

Now some will accuse me of hypocrisy because of the way I have alluded to her origins in some of my previous work, and it may be seen again in work yet to come. It is not hypocrisy, it is an exercise in showing how that particular idea can be circumvented. I like to find different ways to get around things like that, same as with how you manage to link Shinji and Misato, which is oddly enough is the most natural pairing fit in the series, considering the gae difference.

There is another problem that exists with the assertion that Rei is a partial clone of Yui. It is supposed that the DNA sample came from what they salvaged from the entry plug after Yui's accident. Just exactly how is that possible, when she was turned to LCL? (just like Shinji was when he fought the 14th angel) There would be no DNA to salvage to use for the cloning.

I have two multi-chaptered stories for Evangelion that I have been poking and prodding at for a few years now, and I really would like to get them done and out. One links him closer to Rei, the other, Misato. And I will NOT be portraying Rei as being related to Shinji in any way, shape, or form. For anyone who doesn't like it, or my stance on Rei's origins...to bad. Don't read it then.

01/11/12: Well, I am still alive, I have survived the near nuclear meltdown of my sanity and am edging ever so closer to getting some writing going. I had hoped to get something rolling this week actually, but a bad sinus cold followed by the desire to do nothing but sleep has retarded the process somewhat.

What I am looking at doing though, is another multiple story release..when I finally get the stuff written. As it stands, I'm looking at a second chapter for Unlocked Hearts, an Ichigo/Nel fic, and maybe even a Ichigo/Halibel fic. Also in the mix somewhere is an Ichigo/Nanao fic and an Ichigo/Tatsuki...all with the delightful tang of citrus.

C2 of Unlocked Hearts, Ichi/Nel and Ichi/ Halibel are the three on the front burner. Funny...I go from almost giving up writing because I'm falling apart due to stress, because said stress killed any and all creative ability I had. Now, I have well formed ideas for at least three different fics, plus shadows for two others rolling around in my head.

On another note...to all of you yaoi writers on the Bleach section...STOP IT! Just seeing your summaries as I scroll down the page looking for reading material is enough to make my eyes bleed.

And take the MPREG writers, the OC writers (and we all know the OC's are just thinly veiled versions of the author so they can inject themselves in the story), the Self Insert writers, and all the writers with bad vampire treatments of the characters (This is Bleach, not that shit known as Twilight...damn, I think I just puked in my mouth a little just saying it!) and vapid 'all the characters are in highs school together' writers, with you.

And can the horrible pairings...Noitora and Nel? Are you fucking serious?

Seriously, all of you go jump in a frigging volcano...and stop by the Evangelion section and take your brethren from there with you...honestly, that used to be one of the better sections where shit like that got tromped immediately and run out of town (right or wrong, at least there used to be higher quality there), but now it has been infected with the same.

Look, I am the Horseman remember...don't make me come and take your soul...I have better things to do. I swear though, with all of that shit floating around out there , I sorely tempted to bring the Apocalypse.

Don't push me folks, I am brain fried from the wonderful pile of crap that is life...I just might do it.
