"...if you go back, the key stories we told ourselves were stories that were important to everyone and belonged to everyone. Fan fiction is a way of the culture repairing the damage done in a system where contemporary myths are owned by corporations instead of owned by the folk."

about

Hi. I'm Quiet - in more ways than one. I'm a 20 year old college student with apathy issues and an unhealthy addiction to Death Note. I've actually been on FF.net since 2003. Woah. It's hard to believe how long I've stuck with this. Actually, I think this is my 8th account. How sad is that? I currently reside in the EASTERN (was western) part of Tennessee in Knox Vegas. whee!. Erm, I have a yon sai otouto who I love and adore!

Uhh, what else might some random person find interesting? I have a nose piercing! Yeah, just got that one. LOVE IT! Hmm, let's see, uhhh a great time for me when it doesn't involve fanfiction!, consists of me, my car, my music, and a twisting path through country backroads, preferably with a Red Bull and a Slim Jim. Or hanging out with my BFF Amb, but she totally lives five hours away. Le sigh. Oh, and I love hoodies. LOVE THEM, even though it's currently summer. ;_;

Favorite Characters: L, Light, Mello, Matt, and Near. Not necessarily in that order, but I desperately love each and every one of them! :D

Favorite Paring: LxLight. fo'sho.

Favorite Ear: The left. Totally.

Favorite Color: Why is this the most stereotypical question found on basically all profiles?! Actually, I don't have one. I honestly can't choose, and if I do, I'm never faithful.

Favorite Time To Sleep: Now. Goodnight. Srsly.

Future Goal AKA what I wanna do with my life: After college (Imma junior now!), I want to teach English in Japan for a few years. Then it's either law school or graduate school, preferably grad though, just cuz I wanna be a professor and have an open schedule to write! But if I decide that money is the most important thing, like, EVER (which I don't really buy into) within the next five years or so, then prolly law school. THEN it'd be international law, cuz, ya know, I love my Japanese. :D

The Art of Drowning (in progress)

Oh, this one is my baby! I'm a sucker for L and Light romances. What is it about taking two boys that hate each other and making them have wild man smex? Well, that definitely won't be happening until later, but I'm sooo looking forward to it! Yeah, but anyway, this has been my most successful story EVAR!! It's chock full of cliffhangers, though. I tried counting how many chapters could technically be labeled a cliffie, and I gave up.

Eh. Oh well. But yeah, murder, intrigue, conspiracy, a very twisty plot, love, angst, comedy and good old fashioned yaoi. If that sounds like your cup of tea, then please, jump in!

The Sound of Silence (in progress)

Well, I'm definitely delving into previously unchartered territories here, but I must say, I am enamoured with hardcore, fucked up angst. This would be that story. Now, I know me, so I'm sure this story will get a tiny bit less angsty towards the end, but I'm really buckling down for some epic fucked up ness here.

Heavily inspired by Simon and Garfunkel's The Sound of Silence (what a coincidental title!), this story deals with rape and the physical and (most importantly) mental after effects. With just a splash of love and a dab of plot. :D

Mature readers only. Very explicit. XD

Kinky Handcuffs (complete)

Okay, I've changed this to a one shot. I don't think I'll EVER get back to this, so, yeah, it's finished! Woot!

Kira and the King of Pop (complete)

Heh. This is my own little tribute to Michael Jackson. Cause, ya know, Kira killed him! XD Soooo, if you can't take a little good natured ribbing at a dead guy, then this story might not be for you!
