Author has written 27 stories for Inuyasha. "You get ideas from daydreaming. You get ideas from being bored. You get ideas all the time. The only difference between writers and other people is we notice when we're doing it." -Neil Gaiman About Aryndiel I am a 25 year old Canadian. Apart from writing fanfiction, I also do traditional and digital art, photography, video editing, and play the piano. I hope to write a book one day, if I can just think up an entire plot instead of mismatched scenes. I read a lot of books and fanfiction. I want to visit Ireland, Scotland, England, Japan, and New Zealand one day. I am a chronic night-owl, and if I was an animal, I'd be a cat. I spend much of my free time suffering from a condition called "fanfiction addict's sleep deprivation". My favorite fanfiction category is currently Inuyasha, but I have also been known to frequent the pages of Harry Potter, Lord of the Rings, Terry Pratchett, Final Fantasy VII, Samurai Champloo, Star Wars, and Star Trek. I currently only write Inuyasha fanfiction. Please let me know if you find any mispellings, typos, or grammatical errors in my work. I proofread quite thoroughly, but the occasional error slips past my notice from time to time. I'm a perfectionist, so I appreciate being told. By the way, I adore reviews. Especially long ones, but any will do. Hint hint... FanArt: Come visit me here! http://aryndiel.deviantart.com/ Video: Check out my new YouTube Channel! http://www.youtube.com/user/aryndiel Recent News September 30, 2009 - Six Months! It doesn't feel like six months since the last time I posted a story. Time flies when you're busy. But I've corrected the problem, adding a new chapter to "Collected Works" and creating a new one shot called "Common Ground". I also have a short multi-chapter story (probably 3 chapters) in the works right now, and if all goes well, I may post the first installment soon. Look forward to it being quite unlike any you have read before. I have another one shot started that should turn out quite unique, but writing is going slow with it.
