On Myself: So, since I sincerely doubt anyone reads these (as I don't myself, a reader) blah blah blah self importance -- Onward. Interests outside of my writings involve clothes, history and more clothes. I collect antique clothing specializing in the 1890's, and I buy far too much high priced gothic lolita clothing from Japan than is healthy. I'm also a kendoist, though very unskilled. Besides college it's all historical costuming, reading classical romance - hence half the quotes - and reading fanfiction myself. My original foray into anime was with Robotech and Sailor Moon on Cartoon Network way back in the day, and it's been a twelve step program addiction ever since. I also love police dramatics and costume romances, and when the two are involved it's a joygasm (watch "From Hell" and you'll understand).

So far I've restrained myself to writing within the context of Naruto, but I've got some Harry Potter ideas in the works. My tastes are hugely varied from 'Live Action Sailor Moon' to 'Blade of the Immortal' and 'Gormenghast', plus, I love alternate pairings; so don't be surprised on what you see pop up here. I'm a sarcastic bastard with a bit of an over achieving vocabulary and this tends to saturate my fics no matter what the series. I appreciate well written smut, though aren't quite confident enough to pull it off myself yet. Meh.

Huge, heaping thanks to my continued beta, Adaliseranis over on lj, who holds the grammar hammer and isn't afraid to use it. Adali also must suffer through my run on sentences and three a.m. plot bunnies.

On Reviews: Constructive criticism please. If you don't understand something because the words are too big, don't review at all; get a dictionary. I do however appreciate critique on grammar, awkward sentence structure, or even on what you'd like to see more of! Flames will be ignored. (Here's a hint, if you hated it so much that you took the time to compose something nasty, I'm quite honored and will probably show it to my friends and brag)
