Author has written 10 stories for Strawberry Panic!, Koihime†Musō/恋姫†無双, and Yami to Bōshi to Hon no Tabibito/ヤミと帽子と本の旅人. Yes, I suppose I should say something here... I'm a long-in-the-tooth ficcer (more than 20 years now), but I'm new to anime, so as is my custom, I've taken on a new name so I can start fresh. I live on the United States west coast. I'm married, and have two young daughters, as well as three demented cats. (RIP the floofy cat.) After getting my first exposure to the medium with two ecchi comedies, I stumbled upon Yami to Boushi to Hon no Tabibito, which I loved very much in spite of (a) its devastating ending, and (b) my constant problems correctly spelling the title. Following suggestions from there, I wandered down the Yuri road to Strawberry Panic, and now I fear I may be hooked for life. I love the interactive nature of Internet storytelling, so I'll definitely try my best to answer any reviews. Sometimes my meta winds up being longer than my actual stories... Cheers! Current Status: Wondering how it was that I used to manage more than a chapter a week. Yipes. Watched List: Yami to Boushi to Hon no Tabibito, Strawberry Panic, Koihime Musou, Shin Koihime Musou, Ah!

It's good mindless entertainment for when I'm on the exercise bike. Oh My God Did I Actually Just See That List: Shin Koihime Musou: Live Revolution (A concert video starring the cast of SKM. Yes, a concert video. When Chou'un played that solo during the band intro and brandished the butterfly-shaped guitar pick, I think my head exploded from the sheer awesome.) Chou'un Shiryuu Quote Of The Indeterminate Time Period: "You weren't supposed to lick them and make sucking noises, huh?" (Shin Koihime Musou episode 4) | |||||||
