Author has written 15 stories for Death Note. If I'm not posting, the reason should be here at the top. I'm trying to find the motivation to post, really. Reverting to the 'student' lifestyle is taking its toll on my creativity; all I want to do is be a sponge. Trivial minutiae about the author - Life is too short to take everything seriously, and if we were all the same, what fun would anyone be? Favorite things - Death Note, Hellsing Ultimate, FFVII, Jane Austen adaptations, industrial & doom metal, and coffee, my favorite addiction. Things I'd sooner live without - white chocolate, moe, summer, neighbors, and mushrooms. My Writing - I don't put spoilers in plot summaries, including warnings about character death or "pairings". If the story is rated M, it contains extreme violence, sex, and/or foul language. If it's T, those elements are either toned down or not present. The pervasiveness of yaoi is a big pet peeve of mine. I like to believe you can still tell a good story without including sex to appeal to the masses, but more than likely I'm just deluded. Works in Progress (Series) - Genius is a Curse - AU. This story concerns clinical depression, not "the blues" and not the sort of thing you shake off by falling in love. It's betaread by the insightful recipe for insanity in later chapters. I'm also terrified the ending sucks at this point. eye roll ONCE "GiaC" IS FINISHED, I'LL START WORKING ON THE ONES BELOW. End of the Line - Could be canon. I don't like this writing style anymore but I'm stuck with it. Collateral Damage - Canon --> AU. Currently on hold while I rebuild the plot. Honestly, would anyone read this if it was just a text version of the latest slasher horror movie starring B the 2-D villain and our darling Light in a dirty basement with an inexplicable supply of medical tools and bondage gear? Edit - apparently at least one of you would. XD Unexpected - Canon. The plot idea was taken from Nilahxapiel on the website below. I'm hardly a romantic but I'll try this once. It's Just a Game - Total AU. Another Exchange story from TimeTravelFreak. Since this is more plot-driven, I'm trying to use a young-adult writing style to make it move faster. Stolen Limelight - AU? This is a mess for my secondary characters to romp in, if I ever find the motivation to post what I've written. Fatal Attraction - Canon --> AU. This was inspired by Xhadow Kiss's video; the first chapter goes along with the song lyrics and parts of the video. It's become an amateur exploration into manipulation, sexual and platonic obsession, sociopathy, and other heartwarming themes. B Makes Bad Look Good | |||||||||||
