Author has written 66 stories for Yu-Gi-Oh, Inuyasha, Lord of the Rings, Fullmetal Alchemist, Eerie Queerie, Hikaru no Go, Death Note, Supernatural, and Doctor Who. × confessions of a fanfiction junkie × I've been at this a bit now, yeah? Six years. Not exclusively one fandom in that time -- though my God, you would think I'd be done with the Yu-Gi-Oh fandom by now -- but all the same. I've slowed down due to distraction, "quit" in order to work on original fiction, and returned to it with some degree of... Not shame, necessarily, but with a feeling like I was wasting time that should be spent on Loftier Pursuits. To hell with Loftier Pursuits. What's a loftier pursuit, anyway? I write because it's fun. I write fanfiction because it's relaxing, and because I love exploring characters with existing worlds and groundwork. This may be simple of me, but I am a simple creature who loves fanfiction. If you're interested in more about me as a person, or what I'm doing with my original fiction, you can check out my website; you can find me pretty much anywhere from there.
