Author has written 34 stories for Harry Potter, LXG, Legend of Zelda, Professor Layton, Fullmetal Alchemist, Alice in Wonderland, 2010, Dragon Age, Fairy Tail, and Ouran High School Host Club.

What can I tell you? I'm thirtysomething years old and have been doing the fanfic thing for a looong time.

I spend entirely too much time on the internet. Among other things, I'm a registered contributor at the legendary TV Tropes website. Some of my bigger fanfic creations have pages there, so you can see the tropes I've used in TPDoEQ and my Zelda stories and my Fullmetal Alchemist trilogy. I'm also found on Tumblr, where - among other things - I am the Knight-Commander of the Knights of Fandom.

As of August 2012, my Zelda fic "Burn" has been recorded as a podcast. To hear it read in an absolutely magnificent voice, check out this blog. In December 2012, she also recorded my FMA fic "Shadowlight."

When I'm not immersing myself in fictional worlds, I masquerade as a normal human being. It's rare that I actually fool anybody, but I try.

I also maintain a blog. Read about my real-life adventures (if you can call them that) at It Seemed Like a Good Idea at the Time.

And in case anyone's curious, I have original fiction in progress on the web. If you like reading the words that fall out of my head, please check out the Graystone Saga sometime.

Cheers, my freaky darlings!
