Author has written 14 stories for Fullmetal Alchemist. I'm a Canadian, living in Toronto with two cats named Peaches and Pan, and two thousand books. (Of all sorts of genres, but my major interest is mythology. I have two shelves of language study books, including Russian, Latin, Italian, Klingon, Elvish, and Egyptian hieroglyphics. There's a largish section of science fiction and fantasy, but lots of philosophy, theology, fiction, feminism, and poetry. Find me any book on the history of English or Indo-European languages, and I'm all over it. And the books always given pride of place, anywhere I live, at any time, are Dorothy Dunnett's two historical series, the Lymond Chronicles and the House of Niccolo. Followed closely by Tolkien.) I've studied Philosophy, Russian, and Philosophy of Religion in university (with a BA and MA in the latter), meaning I am exceedingly employable. (Har) (Would you believe I actually went to university planning to be an astrophysicist??) I'm an ex-(repeat ex, repeat EX)-fundamentalist, now living on the 95 atheist 5 polytheist teeter-totter. Even though at the moment I do records management stuff in offices, I'm trying to work my way out of that to write and edit full-time. I write novels (working on getting two of them published) and non-fiction (working at getting a book about fundamentalism published), and articles on books and cultural events, just for fun. I discovered anime 8 years ago, stumbling accidentally upon Gundam Wing. I depend largely on Canada's YTV (Youth Television) channel for the discovery of new anime series on Friday nights, but recently subscribed to our Anime-on-Demand channel and have discovered several new series that way too. (How weird is it, to hear Edward Elric's voice coming out of so many other characters!) I always kind of scoffed at the writers of fanfic. Harry Potter, Star Trek - it always seemed rather silly to me. Then, in the summer of 2006, I discovered The Fullmetal Alchemist, and halfway through the series - right after Episode 25, in fact - the thought floated through my mind: "I wonder just how Roy would ever have gotten through the night following the funeral?" And within a few hours, my first fanfic story, "Third Rescue," was born, and I was sunk. So far, I only write FMA fic, though in fact I had written a few scenes years ago inspired by The Silmarillion, so it seems I was writing fanfic long before I realized. Still, I only seem interested these days in Fullmetal fanfic, so we'll see. (I do have an idea, though, about gathering several of the characters in different series, all voiced by some of my favourite voice actors, and writing an adventure for them in one of the series worlds (probably the FMA world), having them interact, all discovering eventually that they are different incarnations of one person. The problem with that story, of course, would be that very few people would have seen all those anime series, so nobody would understand the story but me. Still, the idea floats in my head.) I hope you're enjoying my stories so far, and having a great experience playing here. | |||||||||
