Name: Ywain Penbrydd
Birthyear: 1980
Timezone: Mountain (GMT -7)

Penbrydd is currently taking commissions.

/me suddenly notices that nearly all his fans are also rabid Yu Yu Hakusho fans.

I have no idea what this means in the grand scheme of things. Primarily just an observation.

I would also like to give thanks to all of the people who have written reviews of my stories. If you ask me questions in your reviews, I will do my best to answer them, even if the answer is occasionally 'Oh, crap. I totally missed that.' Thanks are also due to the handful of people who have inspired or participated in my stories. In fact, I think extra special thanks are due to the cast of Hospital Humour, because they let me publish that without seeing it first, while knowing they'd been drunk for it. I love you guys.

I am occasionally guilty of writing semi-autobiographical fanfiction. This means I'll take a real event (or a compressed series of events) and substitute characters from a series I like (usually Naruto) for the real people in it. If you know me, and you think you recognise yourself in one of my fics, just ask. I try to put warnings in the Author's Notes on fics written in this fashion, unless they are in some way pornographic. Yes, you might be reading about my sex life. No, I'm not going to mention it if you are.

AU Tags:
(BFV) Pan-fandom: Bio-fic-verse. This tag indicates that I'm writing what I know in a very literal sense.
(RND) Pan-fandom: Random. These are stand alones.
(MH) Potterverse: Meht's Hogwarts. These fics come out of an ongoing RP in which I play a couple of Death Eaters.
(EOL) Naruto: Eyes of Love. This continuum begins at Mad World and ends at Always Second Best -- mostly GenHaya with suggestions of GenHayaYuu.
(CGH) Naruto: Cut-Glass Heart. These are in some way contiguous with the AU going on between Sweetbriar and me.
(COR) Naruto: Corybantic Dance. Contiguous with the scary-ass high school AU that I write with Sweetbriar.
(SNZ) Naruto: Sneeze. These are contiguous with EOL, but watch Kotetsu and Izumo, instead. Where a co-author exists, it is inevitably Beatrisu, who writes Izumo for me, sometimes.

Fandoms & pairings I like:
Avatar: the Last Airbender
- Zuko/Katara (even if it's unlikely, it's still art.)
- Sokka/Suki (he's gotta get over the angsty, eventually.)

Bleach
- Uryuu/Renji (speaking of art...)
- Uryuu/Ukitake (hilarity ensues.)
- Shunsui/Ukitake (because it's just too easy.)

Harry Potter
- Snape/Lily
- Snape/Roddy Lestrange
- slut!Roddy/anything that's not a mudblood

Naruto
- Iruka/Kakashi (i'd read it either way, but i have a thing for seme!Iruka.)
- Genma/Hayate/Yuugao (it's entirely improbable, since Yuugao shows up at the stone, but Genma doesn't. but, it's reminiscent of home.)
- Kotetsu/Izumo (yeah, they're probably just best friends, but it's cheap and easy.)
- Shikamaru/Temari (girls are troublesome.)
- Naruto/Hinata (because she just needs to get up off her ass and SAY SOMETHING)
- Aoba/Raidou (because it's so wrong it just burns. i blame sweetbriar for this.)

FullMetal Alchemist
- Al/Winry (ed gave up his claim, and al always liked her more.)
- Ed/Roy (it's just so wrong. disturbingly wrong. but it's addictive as hell.)
