Author has written 38 stories for Final Fantasy XII, Final Fantasy X, Final Fantasy I-VI, and Dragon Age. I'm a latecomer to Dragon Age fandom (November 2011) and a "pre-ordered for release day" player/fan for many of the Final Fantasy game and spin-offs. My stories cover the map so if you don't like one, try something else. Style ranges from experimental to straight-forward. Genres include smut, macabre situations, drama, fluff, humor, atmospheric vignettes, metafiction, and the occasional WTFery. Some stories were written in response to fandom in-jokes or for prompts. Other stories are my "official headcanon" extensions to canon. My preferences tend toward short fiction (200 to 15000 words) but I occasionally talk myself into writing epics. I have much writerly love for problematic characters: the good or not-so-good guys (and gals) who bat for the wrong team, the straight-up misguided, the lying liars who lie, and the good old fashion unreliable narrators. Looking for good guys? I tarnish them up. My FF.net account currently contains a partial collection of my fanfic. Eventually I'll post everything here and on my AO3 account (http://archiveofourown.org/users/vieralynn). Feel free to friend me on Dreamwidth or follow me on Tumblr: http://vieralynn.dreamwidth.org/ -- wordy-thinky posts, life, plus almost my entire fic archive (currently under f-lock) http://vieralynn.tumblr.com/ -- daily Ivalice and Thedas squee, meta, headcanon, fic, graphics, and reblogs, reblogs, and more reblogs WIPs IN THE EDITING PIPELINE: - A Selfish Act - Dragon Age Alistair/f!Amell/Cullen are on a collision course for an angry-hot three-way (da kinkmeme fill) - expected final length between 10k-15k words. News: From the middle of May to the middle of June I semi-disappear from fandom. This happens almost every year. During my downtown, if I have time to update stories and I have access to the internet, I'll post but if you are waiting for an update, it might not happen until middle of June. Sorry about that. I'm always back for another 11 months once my vacation is over. :) | |||||
