.:ll A Brief Explanation ll:.

I am aware of the fact that my sudden appearance here will make my old friends wonder - not just the Knights, but also those old friends of mine from the SH fandom. And I do owe them an apology and an explanation about what had happened and why I disappeared, but I'm not going to write the whole thing here, of course, because it's just so long to explain - if you do wish to know, just send me a message and I'll gladly explain. If memory serves me correct, I left fanfiction.net some time around the end of 2006 and I moved to a large community forum called GaiaOnline where I decided to turn my interest to roleplaying instead. I've been there ever since, but I must admit that I do miss being here, writing fanfictions.

When I left, I started to watch the anime Inuyasha. It's addicting. I have now watched all episodes of Inuyasha, I watched all the movies and now, I've read the whole manga series. Most of my roleplays were Inuyasha ones and often, I've been wandering around the Inuyasha fandom, reading random fics here and there. It's awesome. When roleplaying, I play Miroku, the monk. I'm very much in love with him, save for the fact that he's perverted and whatnot, but I love roleplaying as him - so in my fanfictions, I believe that I'm best with Miroku, but I've been told that I'm better at playing Kagome, Sango or even Inuyasha. You decide. But anyway, let's just say that Inuyasha and my friends persuaded me to come back to fanfiction.net - this time, I intend to stay to write stories.

Now, moving on:

.:ll About the Fanfic Writer ll:.

First off, let's just start with who I am, though I shall not reveal my name here - it's safe enough to call me Zant. I'm a detective geek - I've been reading detective stories since my first novel when I was seven. I'm a fan of Sherlock Holmes, obviously, and under the name of Valerian Spellcaster (or Zantetsuken), I used to linger in the Sherlock Holmes fandom. I'm sixteen, and I'm also Asian. Born in Malaysia - English is my second language.

I tend to write tragedies, though I always like a touch of gentle humour like Petal Dance. I guess I'm just a sucker for drama. Unless if I say so, there will not be a regular time sequence as to when fics will be uploaded - I write when I'm inspired, but don't worry. I get inspired easily enough; it's just that I've been focusing on my own stories lately instead of fics. They usually have a touch of romance in it - sometimes action if I can manage it. One leading to another.

I'm friendly, I'm trustworthy, I'm a good listener and people often say that I give good advice - in writing and in problems. I can get attatched to people very easily, but I'm not one who can easily fall in love with another. I love to roleplay and I love to talk to my friends - they brighten my day especially and I can never ask for anyone better than my friends. Also, I love graphics - fiddling around on Adobe Photoshop has become one of my hobbies and I also have a Graphics and Profile minishop open in Gaiaonline - PM me. Also, I'd LOVE to hear about any one of you reading this now - if you like my work, if you're interested to know about my future works or anything. Really, contact me, I'd appreciate that more than anything else.

I guess that's it for now. Feel free to contact me and please, review my work. I want to know what you think about it. And enjoy, of course!
