Author has written 9 stories for Naruto, Harry Potter, Mass Effect, Wild Arms, Dragon Age, Final Fantasy XIII, and Final Fantasy VII.

I'm nobody special; just a gamer who very occasionally reads fanfiction, and even more occasionally toys with the idea of writing some. Glad to be here all the same. Also, I'm well aware that 90% of all fanfiction is complete and utter feces, with characters portrayed wildly out-of-tune with their original incarnations, with patchy writing and grammar, and with all manner of overdone examples of terrible writing that seem like fanfic-writer traditions. Although I endeavor to avoid such problems in my own writing, I acknowledge that I'm not perfect and hope some kind soul will point out when and where I screw up, if and when I do.

Thanks for visiting my profile, and have a fun day.

- Active Stories:

The Whims of Fate - The Possibilities of Time, Book I. The story of an alternate history, and an alternate Naruto. With his two best friends, Sasuke Uchiha and Hinata Hyuga, by his side, Naruto Uzumaki strives to be the ideal ninja... so that he'll no longer have to worry what the villagers think of him. Born with a completely different personality from the Naruto we're familiar with, his actions would drastically change the course of history... sometimes for the better, and sometimes not so much.

Greetings from the Reverse Universe - A 'what-if' side-story companion piece to The Possibilities of Time. A space-time teleportation technique gone awry flings the Team Seven of an alternate reality--Naruto Uzumaki, Sasuke Uchiha, and Hinata Hyuga--into a world and history that is both strikingly familiar and yet horribly different. Here, the red-haired Jinchuriki encounters his blonde-haired, canonical counterpart, and so begins a series of events which cause two very different histories to become inexorably entangled...

Kunoichi Legends - Mikoto Uchiha wanted a girl, and she got one. Mayumi Uchiha is a hot-blooded, foul-mouthed child prodigy and the only remaining survivor of the tragic Uchiha Clan... but avenging the deaths of her family is the farthest thing from her mind. Her ambition is a livelier one: to become Konohagakure no Sato's first female Hokage! In the meantime, a twelve-year-old Naruto Uzumaki, Jinchuriki of the Nine-Tailed Demon Fox, flees the village after the Mizuki incident and falls into the vile clutches of the evil Orochimaru, marking the beginning of the blonde Jinchuriki's descent into darkness...

Laurel Potter and the Philosopher's Stone - The Laurel Potter saga, Year One. All in all, you could say Harry Potter was lucky. Between his own sparkling personality and his innate resilience, he somehow managed to survive a decade of life with the Dursleys with minimal psychological scarring... and without accidentally causing Uncle Vernon's head to explode. But Laurel Potter, his female, alternate-timeline counterpart? She wasn't so lucky.

Mass Effect: Insertion - Fadeshifter Series, Book 1-A. Nathan Redgrave isn't his real name, but his real name ceased to matter when he found himself unceremoniously inserted into a universe that he'd previously believed to be pure fiction... the universe of Mass Effect. In truth he only enlisted with the Systems Alliance military to make a living; he'd had no intention of sticking his nose into Commander Shepard's quest to save the galaxy from the Reapers. As luck would have it, he didn't have to; Captain Anderson stuck his nose in it for him. And things only get more complicated when Nathan encounters a familiar girl on Feros... one who, like him, has mysteriously awoken to a galaxy in which she doesn't belong.

From Beyond the Beyond - Fadeshifter Series, Book 1-B. The last thing he remembers is closing his eyes inside a sleeper pod aboard the SSV Normandy. Next thing he knows, he's waking up in a dingy Denerim back-alley. And so the self-insert dance begins anew... but when Nathan Redgrave finds himself conscripted into the Grey Wardens in place of the Hero of Ferelden, the dance becomes even more lethal than before. Tasked with saving Ferelden from the darkspawn and more, can Nathan step into the shoes of a Hero and save the world... or will his interference in this timeline spell the doom of nations?

My Very Own Crystal Legend - Fadeshifter Series, Book 2-C. Nathan Redgrave was once an ordinary, unremarkable waste of space occupying a bedroom on the second floor of his mother's house in Realityland, U.S.A. Now, he's stranded in three different dimensions at once, living three distinct lives and amassing power, skill, and experience from each one. But just how did he become this bizarre interdimensional freak of nature in the first place? And how many other worlds will he mysteriously wake up in before the otherworldly force behind it all is satisfied? Follow Nathan as he bears the accursed brand of the l'Cie and fights for the future of Cocoon, of Gran Pulse... and, possibly, of all worlds that ever were.

A Planet to Return To - Fadeshifter Series, Book 1-D. Katherine Gainsborough was a high school girl of no notable talent who existed in the background and liked it that way. Now, at the request of a mysterious extradimensional being, she has willingly left her life behind and embarked on a quest to slay a sadistic spirit who toys with mortal Fadeshifters by stealing them away from their own worlds and stranding them in other realities. In order to gain the skill and power to do so, however, Kat must first survive a world and a quest a perilous as it is fantastical.

Wild ARMs 3: Second Ignition - Years after the defeat of the dream demon Beatrice, the so-called "Maxwell Gang" has fallen to pieces. Clive is dead. Gallows is missing. And only the gods know where Jet's run off to. On the run from the law for a murder she didn't commit, Virginia finds herself once more drawn into a fight for the very future of her world... but is it even possible to save a world that's out for her blood?
