| claustro-phobia |
Author has written 57 stories for Yu-Gi-Oh, Death Note, Gundam Seed, Naruto, Yu Yu Hakusho, Dragon Ball Z, Fullmetal Alchemist, Yami no Matsuei, Hunter X Hunter, Megami Kouhosei, Inception, and Mysterious Skin. Hello, I am claustro-phobia. A few things to keep in mind: 1. I write fanfiction for mostly shounen, action-based anime/manga. Particularly Yu-Gi-Oh; it's my one true fandom. Here recently, though, I've been writing a disturbing amount of Inception fics, like most everyone else these days it seems. 2. I DO NOT accept pairing requests, so save your breath and my time, and don't ask. On that note: yes, I do write het as well as slash. No, I won't stop writing the former just because you whine really, really loudly, so don't even try it. 3. Nearly all of my stories contain some form of explicit content. I am not your babysitter. Heed my warnings and you won't need to fetch the brain bleach. 4. I've earned the nickname "Queen of Angst" for a reason. I do not deal in the happily ever after. Usually. | |||||||
