Author has written 15 stories for Star Wars, and Naruto.

Fanfiction writing is an unfortunate hobby I engage in during my not-so-free time. I have tried to restrain it, yet this tendency has prevailed. Once an idea ingrains itself in my mind, it will not let me rest until I have written it.

I began writing fanfiction long before joining this site. My younger brother used to be the only reader of my works, and he literally pestered me for years to post them on fanfiction.net. So I shall acknowledge him here: Thank you, bro, for the aggravating motivation that only a beloved little sibling can provide.

I tend to appreciate noble, self-sacrificing characters like Umino Iruka from Naruto, Obi Wan Kenobi from Star Wars, and Link from the Legend of Zelda series. (My very first foray into fanfiction was in the Legend of Zelda universe.) A strong sense of duty and honor, chivalrous charm or social awkwardness, and a disciplined manner will generally endear me to a character. What can I say? I like nice guys.

While I am almost always in the middle of one writing project or another, I generally choose not to begin posting a story until the first draft is complete. I write because I must.

I have yet to figure out why must I write.

Translation

Wvabra has translated First Impressions, into Russian! So if you can read Russian (or if you can't and just want to peek out of curiosity) you can find that version here:

Do-Gooding

Street children- abandoned, abused- lured into prostitution as a means of survival. Some as young as four years old. This isn't the plot for my latest fanfic. It's reality for countless people the world over.

I personally know people in Olangapo City, Philippines, who are part of a concerted effort to take in and provide for street children. I can vouch for the Subic Bay Children's Home and the work they do there, as well as their financial integrity when using donated funds. Anyone who would care to learn more and contribute can do so here: http://www.subicbaykids.org/Home_Page.html

And if you get the opportunity, go visit them! (That's not an empty suggestion, check the site for more info.) The kids love visitors.
