Author has written 25 stories for Final Fantasy IX, Star Ocean, .hack/SIGN, Kingdom Hearts, Dissidia: Final Fantasy, Tsubasa Chronicle, and Kuroshitsuji.

If you've stumbled upon this account, then I've read something of yours, you've read something of mine, or we've both read something of someone else's entirely.

... I wrote that about three years ago. I'm back... I think... not really 100% sure about that just yet. Long story short, best friend pulled a 'remember when' on me right at the same time I decided to pick up Final Fantasy IX again after a lot of strange things happened.

At this point I'm looking at three fic projects, all of it screwed-up Kuja-centric goodness. I'm fleshing out Break My Fall, hopefully getting together the courage to revisit what was going on with Silkscreen Requiem, and indulging the FFIX sequel that popped into my head, fully formed, when I put down the controller after the end of Disc 1 reminded me how FFIX works.

As far as my old stories go, while I'm rocking the 'my dear god why didn't anyone tell me I couldn't string two sentences together if my life depended on it' face, the only one I've removed is The Engulfed Cathedral. Apart from the name, it really wanted to be something very, very different this whole time, but it took three years to let me in on that.

If you're curious about the whole lot of nothing constructive I do in my free time, I just started paying attention to my tumblr: http://charisnotsteampunk.tumblr.com/
