Author has written 30 stories for Death Note, Yu Yu Hakusho, Justice League, Fruits Basket, Soul Eater, Discworld, Doctor Who, and Ghost Hunt.

I am Book, otherwise known as bookhobbit. Fandoms are Star Trek, Doctor Who, Dirk Gently, The Lord Of The Rings, Justice League, Deadpool, Ghost Hunt, Soul Eater, YuYu Hakusho, Death Note, Steam Powered Giraffe, and Discworld.

Mostly I like character drabbles and AU fics. You can find me on ao3 and tumblr as bookhobbit, and on deviantART as thebookhobbit.

Quite frankly, I cannot speak for the quality of anything written before 2011, but what I haven't deleted from that era has sentimental value for one reason or another. So, you know. Proceed with caution and please be aware that the earlier stuff is not necessarily representative of my skill or style now.
