Bio:

I live in Pennsylvania

I graduated from Penn. State University

My girlfriend, Clarice, lives with ME, not the other way around

I'm an Atheist, though I prefer the term "Pearlist"(PEARL is an acronym standing for Physical Evidence And Reasoned Logic, however, I find it easier to just say I'm an Atheist and leave it at that since most people don't know what a Pearlist is). FYI, "PEARL" is a term that, as far as I know, was created by(or at least brought into popularity)a man who goes by the alias "Thunderf00t".

I also share my home with five of my best friends/co-workers

Things I Hate/Dislike:

Racists

Black people who blame white people for all their problems

People who blame others for their problems in general

Monkeys, don't ask why

Jackasses

Serial Killers

Badly directed movies

Gluttons

People that have no pride in themselves

People who complain about their lives when they really have nothing to complain about

Political Parties; ALL of them

Overly religious people that keep telling me I'm going to go to hell, ENOUGH, I know! I already have an apartment picked out. (Right by the River of the Damned, very nice.)

People who write good stories, then just drop them out of the blue

People who will talk to you for hours and interrupt you when you try and talk, then get mad at you when you don't say anything

People who tell the same unfunny joke multiple times...in the same hour

"Waterproof" cameras that don't work as advertised

Flimsy tripods

Lawsuits

People who keep trying to step into the frame when you're trying to shoot a movie

People who talk a lot of shit, but can't back it up

People who can't take a hint

Badly written stories that the authors keep going, usually due to the fact that they get nothing but praise

Stories that are rated M, but have no blood, gore, language, or sex

Yaoi

The person who invented Yaoi

People who write truly weird and disturbing Yaoi(i.e.: NarutoxSasuke...Not exceptionally creepy, per se, but add a little something known as "mpreg" to that and you get one of the many definitions of the word "Abomination")

Everything about Yaoi(I have nothing against gay people, but keep that shit away from me)

The complete overload of Yaoi on this website for certain series and characters(i.e.: Digimon series, Daisuke/DavisxTaichi/Tai, etc...)

People who hate Rock/Metal, and all it's variations, except Emo Rock, people can hate that all they want(this one is reserved for the people who say Metal is nothing but a bunch of incoherent screaming and random instrumental noise)

People with extremely bad grammar/spelling that make no effort to improve upon it, regardless of how many people say they should

People who can't properly spell the names of anime/manga characters...even when they are ten chapters into the story

And many, many, many, many, MANY more things that I don't feel like typing down.

Now then, a couple things about my stories:

Black Flames Dance In The Wind: Rise of Naruto

I am well aware of the fact that the earlier chapters of this story aren't really up to snuff in comparison to the later ones. And while that's normal for stories as long as this one, that doesn't mean I like it. Sure, it's pretty cool being able to track my evolution as a writer, but reading through those early chapters is something of a chore because I keep finding things I want to change or get rid of. I would overhaul them, but I don't have the time.

I did it with the first chapter, and that alone took over a month and resulted in a doubled wordcount. So if I did it for every chapter that needed it, it would be well over a year before I ever got around to updating. So I'll have to ask you guys to just bear with it until I can fix what needs to be fixed.

Tamer of the Hazard

This story is still active, despite the time between updates. The problem is that between Black Flames and random plot ideas, there isn't a lot of time left to devote to TotH. Plus, I'm just not getting very many ideas for it; and the ones I am getting are for scenes that won't take place until MUCH later in the story. I've got nothing for the here and now.

The plan was to start the next chapter with a fight between BlackGatomon and an upgraded Soulmon. But as I started writing it, it became clear that this kind of fight scene was a bit more..."abstract" than what I'm used to writing. It's not a major fight, so I'm trying to keep things short, yet satisfying. But that's proving to be a bitch and a half, so I might end up scrapping it altogether.

Tamer of the Night

For all intents and purposes, this fic is dead. It was just on "indefinite hiatus", but now that I'm planning an complete rewrite, it's 100% flatlined.

The rewrite, whenever I get around to it, will focus on the origins of "Agent 17". Meaning, we'll get to see when Takato first joined The Agency(despite the organization name, agent aliases and some assassination methods, the story will have NO relation to the Hitman video game series), and how he got through his training. It will also explain how he went from a pipsqueak, to a 6'4" "giant", and why everyone just seems to accept it without question(Hint: it wasn't natural at all).

The rewrite will basically focus on things I had planned to explain via flashbacks in the original story. Somewhere along the line, I found that the flashbacks would make for a better story than the main story itself, and hopefully you guys will agree.

UPDATE*

As of 12/08/2012, Tamer of the Night has been adopted by "moonrose221". No idea what he/she will do with it, but it's out of my hands now, and I can't say I'm sad to watch it go.

Now, some things I feel I should address here, so I don't have to keep saying them over and over whenever I update my stories.

Challenges

I DO NOT DO CHALLENGES. EVER.

If I can't even keep a decent update schedule with the two active stories I have, what makes you think I want to add more onto the workload? I'm flattered when people apparently think I'm a good enough author to be trusted with bringing their own ideas to life, but that's just not what I do.

And it's not just about having another story eat up my writing time. By definition, a challenge-fic is written for someone else. That means there are constraints involved; things that you HAVE to do in order to stay within the guidelines of the challenge. I don't fancy being limited like that. I find that when I have limits imposed on what I can do, I lose a lot of the drive to write, and the story suffers for it.

And then there's the fact that you can't really take your time with it, as you're basically under contract. It's just a whole bunch of crap I'd rather not deal with.

Suggestions

I do take suggestions for things like character names, techniques, weapons and even story arcs. But I do NOT accept suggestions for entirely new characters. My stories already have enough OCs in them(more than enough, depending on who you ask), and I'm not looking for more.

And notice I said "suggestions", not "demands". If you come at me with orders to do things your way, I'm just going to laugh at you. I don't care how you think the story "should" be. If you don't like the way it's going, write your own. But as long as it's my story, what I say goes. Don't like it? Take 10, add 4, divide by 7, subtract 2, and you'll be left with the number of fucks I give.
