General: I write. I'm lazy, but I tend to have random spurts of productivity that last for a couple days then die, so I might write four or five fics in a week then post nothing for a month. If you see a fic lagging that you want to read more of PM me or write a review telling me to get off my lazy arse. I can't vouch for its effectiveness, but you can try. I can be somewhat abrasive in my interactions, although I do try to be kind, but be warned and try not to take it too personally. My gender and age are immaterial. Betas: I'm willing to beta for anyone (do check my Beta profile before sending me anything though. There are a few things that I won't Beta, and I do request that you at least give it a once over before sending it to me) whether I know the fandom or not, but if I don't, I obviously can't check characterization, fandom related facts etc. I'm also currently looking for a beta if anyone is interested. Reviews: Review. Whether you love my fics or think they're the worst piece of literature since Mein Kampf, tell me. I'd prefer a scathing review that details things I should fix than a glowing, meaningless one (obviously, what I'd really like is a glowing review, that also points out flaws, but a person can't have everything). Tell me things to improve and things you'd like to see again. There's a limit to how much I can get better if I don't know what I'm doing wrong. Tell me if you think that I'm killing canon (assuming of course, that it is a fic that is meant to comply with cannon. If it is AU and you complain about the lack of cannon, I will laugh in your face) or completely fucking with a character's personality, or that my writing style is to choppy or too descriptive or just plain doesn't make sense. If you find something offensive or tasteless, I'd like to know. However, if what you dislike is the pairing, or the character, or the orientation of the character, or religion, or anything along those lines, please save your time. I won't change it for you, and all it does is piss me off. I do respond to reviews, generally in a timely manner, but I do have a life, and I do go places without internet, and I do have times when I cannot do so. The same goes for PMs. Other Communities/Places you can find me: I'm on livejournal as 42Variables (link to my journal under homepage at the top of the page). Odds are, fics will be posted there first, because ff.net's upload policy is rather annoying, so if you want to get the earliest possible releases of my fics (for God knows what reason), go there and friend me. If you do friend me, you don't need to ask, but, please drop a line telling me who you are and why you're friending me; it's just a bit creepy to get an e-mail saying I got friended with no other warning. I post at least 100 words worth of writing a day on Tumblr, both original and fanfic. Requests: If I have written in a fandom, then I will take requests for fics in it. I will (probably) not write anything longer than a oneshot for it. Of course it might snag my imagination and become something longer, but no guarantees. Feel free to send a request for a pairing, but romance is not my strongest suit (although I am working on it), so be warned. There are a few things that I will not write (incest, graphic sex, m-preg etc). If you are not sure if it fits my guidelines, send it to me and I will tell you. Disclamer: Don't. Freakin'. Own. Clear enough? (not, of course, that that would stop anyone from suing me if they wanted to - disclaimers don't really do jack, but it's nice to have one) In Progress Series/Stories: Mini Fellowship: This was prompted by a challenge from a friend to write the members of the Fellowship as children/teens. So far includes Human Ingenuity (Aragorn) and An Heir and a Spare (Boromir and Faramir). Next one will likely be Gimli. Realizations: How the various members of the Circle learn about Lark and Rosethorn's relationship. Somewhat stuck at the moment since I cannot for the life of me figure out how to have Tris figure it out. PM me if you have a suggestion and ye shall be worshiped as a god(dess). | |||||||
