Author has written 9 stories for Invader Zim, G. I. Joe, and Transformers/Beast Wars.

I apologize in advance for any offense you may take at either my profile or my stories.

I don't, however, apologize for any story-related heartstring-tugging. SHARE THEIR PAIN. REVEL IN IT. If there is no feeling, then I've done something wrong.

A cyanide is a chemical compound that contains the cyano group, -C≡N, which consists of a carbon atom triple-bonded to a nitrogen atom. Cyanides most commonly refer to salts of the anion CN−. Most cyanides are highly toxic.

Insomnia (or sleeplessness) is most often defined by an individual's report of sleeping difficulties. While the term is sometimes used in sleep literature to describe a disorder demonstrated by polysomnographic evidence of disturbed sleep, insomnia is often defined as a positive response to either of two questions: "Do you experience difficulty sleeping?" or "Do you have difficulty falling or staying asleep?"

Somehow, in some way, I think this aptly describes my writing. Toxicity and lack of sleep.

About

I am 20 year old socially inept female human living a life of solitude among cats, other hermit-like humans, and various brick-a-brack. I enjoy writing, drawing, and sleeping. I don't really read much of anyone else's stuff for fear of it completely taking over my already rusty writing voice, sort of an early-Japan-we-must-isolate-ourselves-from-the-world-and-probably-suffer-for-it sort of thing, and I don't care much for idiots or people standing too close to me while I work on anything creative.

As far as writing goes I like exploring possibilities, adding a little darkness to things normally not so dark, having characters snark it up, and torturing the bajeezus out of any character I can get my hands on, physically and/or emotionally. I also like writing things in a style that can almost fit into canon, somehow, especially if there's very little canon to go off of to start with. My weaknesses are actual loving fluffy romance, in-depth action scenes that make sense, and completely and totally off-the-wall crack - I can't help but try to put some kind of plot to it. Somewhere. If you squint. This is obviously a trait I don't share with my five-year-younger self. It's especially not a trait I shared with me from any further in the past.

I also really, really love feedback. I crave it. Call it a throwback from DA. But I firmly believe that the story should speak for itself - I won't get down and beg for reviews in the description or even author notes. What will be, will be, what won't, won't. I am also willing to accept criticism, as long as it's phrased in a helpful way (you may reference the reviews on Losing His Mind for that), and everyone doesn't pile almost the exact same argument on at once. Perhaps stagger it out a little so I don't have a sudden heart attack and wonder if everyone secretly hates me? ... did I mention I may be paranoid?

I won't respond to reviews, though. Too high a risk of putting my e-foot in my e-mouth. I'll just thank you all here instead~ -throws inordinate amounts of pre-emptive love at you all-

Headverses

Invader Zim - All characters only appear to be stupid; they're mostly intelligent with "off" days. Zim and Dib are frenemies, nothing more. The females have no interest in anyone. Red and Purple are lovers, friends, and co-Tallests, and each play off each other's strengths and weaknesses on equal footing. Red is dominant but can submit, Purple is submissive but can take control, etc, etc. All Irkens previously seen in the show are adults, and as such can consume the equivalent of alcohol and have a tendency to swear. Well, okay, the Tallests like to swear. There's more than a smattering of OCs but so far no one is or ever will be interested in a romantic/sexual relationship with canon characters, they are perfectly fine to being background fodder and antagonists. Irkens can do it. Not to say they WILL do it, but they can. There is a rare brain defect that only affects purple-eyed Irkens called Stryder's Syndrome, and it's pretty much the intergalactic equivalent to Mad Cow Disease - while this was mainly used in the Black Trilogy, it can be used elsewhere.

Black's trilogy takes place somewhere in the "dead space" in canon (and there is a lot of it); however, unless the story references the events, even in passing, or requires Black and her army to be present for whatever reason, it can probably be assumed it takes place in some other "dead space" or a separate continuity entirely. This shouldn't really be a problem though because of the Zim fics I have left I think Acrimony and Hubris are the main ones.. because, well, GI Joe and Transformers ate the idea-making part of my brain. Ffffffff.

GI Joe - The good guys aren't quite as good as they appear and the bad guys get most of the screentime. Troopers, Vipers and other grunts are given plenty of personality, although admittedly at times the show already did this for me. Cobra Commander, while still quite evil, uses his arrogance to mask his insecurities, mainly about his height (which, without any official height ref I can find, I've decided is around 5'8"-5'9", maybe less; compared to all the Joes and some of his minions he seems like a midget in comparison) and the ongoing fear of losing control of any kind. Obviously he gets to lose control a lot in my fics because I express my love for characters with torment and I love him a loooooooooot. He is also not a snake alien and I refuse to take that as his backstory, Hasbro. However, I can't rightfully use his comics backstory either, because, well, I haven't read them. So really his history is a mystery and hopefully won't factor anywhere. Can you tell I mainly plan to write for the commander?

Any character derailment for either side is probably due to lack of extensive research on specific people, usually Joes.. or using certain people as plot devices. Also probably Joes. For this reason I suppose you could assume everything I write takes place in a bubble universe stuck to the canon but not quite IN it? MY HEADBUBBLE UNIVERSE. Located somewhere in the Twilight Zone, just to the left of the Living Asteroid Covered In TARDIS Carcasses. The COBRA Zone.

All the same, though, things that are COMPLETELY out of whack will have warnings as such, and if you think something I don't think is THAT out of whack actually is, PM me and I'll change it.

Transformers - So far I haven't constructed a full set of "rules" to go by in this, only sort of coasting off my knowledge of the characters on TFWiki, my sister's knowledge through fanfiction, and of course the show. As most I've decided Red Alert still glitches sometimes but otherwise thinks his paranoia is quite founded and does NOT appreciate mechs 'facing everywhere, Skywarp is a friendly troll, Astrotrain makes train jokes at his own expense but hates it when other people do it (and Primus help you if you call him a "taxi"; "party train", however, is a bit more acceptable), and Shockwave is lonely as hell. Not much of anything, you see. I've also realized that Red Alert is my spirit animal. Poor, poor crazy Red.

More will be added to this section as I develop more in fics.

Upcoming Stories

Invader Zim

-Acrimony and Hubris, the last two parts of the Black Trilogy, in which Black seeks revenge, terrible things happen, and people die. Not very much of the original fic's lol random filler humor will be present, although, since it is my stuff, there will invariably be some humor.

-Another epic, working title "Deep Purple" or "The Purple Conspiracy", involving and interconnecting Purple, Argo, and a man known only to the Universe as Enigma, who plans to take the Irken Empire down and rebuild it in his own graven image. His true identity is shrouded in mystery, like his codename.. as it should, considering the man it belonged to has been dead for centuries. Or has he?

-Assorted drabbles written to bring me back into the Zim fandom. May or may not be the same ones listed on the former version of my profile.

GI Joe

-The Second Gamesmaster Incident - exactly what it says on the tin. After a rash of disappearances from his ranks with no good explanation behind it, Cobra Commander vaguely wonders if there's someone out there collecting them for devious purposes. In fact, there is, and the giant psycho has his eye on the commander - only this time, he's on his own, and what's worse, his body is under GM's near-complete control.

-The Post-Christmas Party Incident - the main one that will need "this character is hella OOC and a plot device" warning if posted here at all. The morning after the COBRA Christmas party, Cobra Commander wakes up naked and sore as hell, with no memory of what went on last night. He then discovers a GI Joe in his bed, Gung Ho, also naked and looking disturbingly proud of himself.. and it just goes downhill from there. Rape, evil!Gung Ho, more rape.. yeah. Technically the first fanfic I ever wrote for GI Joe so that may be why I'm considering posting it here despite the obvious.

-Operation: Doormat - may vaguely also need warnings, I don't know. A crooked scientist down at Blackwater has expounded on previously-engineered brainwashing technology, and made it so you can specifically set a specific "alignment". For some reason, he has CC available as a test subject. And for some reason, the Joes are absolutely fine with testing it out on him. They turn him into the second highest "Good" setting, a subservient, polite doormat, and are oddly inspired to take him home. Only Lady Jaye seems to see this is a horrible idea.

-Operation: Frozen Cobra - during a battle with the Joes in some frozen wasteland, Cobra Commander's Rattler is shot down and he narrowly escapes drowning in an icy lake - right into a vicious snowstorm. With no way of knowing where his troops are, he decides he's better off regrouping and waiting for the storm to pass in a nearby cave. Turns out, that cave is already occupied by Flint. The ensuing scuffle causes a cave-in, trapping both men inside. Can they survive long enough for help to arrive?

-A Tale of Two Cobras - following the events of "Worlds Without End", that dimension's Cobra Commander has lost the civil war and his claim to the throne, forced to live in exile and fear of discovery from both his former partners and the growing Resistance. While scavenging for supplies, he stumbles across a prototype for an interdimensional transporter built by Destro, complete with build notes. This gives him an idea: why live in squalor in this dimension when he can find another dimension, another COBRA, another CC, to influence and conquer?

-Assorted drabbles and one-shots taking place separate from these stories or as companions.

Transformers

-Damaged Memory - Soundwave onlines in the middle of some desert somewhere, badly damaged and low on energy, with no memory of what happened or how he got there. He tries to contact Megatron for an assist, to no avail. He finds his Cassetticons are missing from his chest compartment, with no sign of them out here and no way of contacting them. When he tries to access his memory banks, he's met with errors and pain. Clearly something terrible has occurred, and he sets out on a spiritual journey of sorts to find out what it was. But the truth may be a bit more disturbing that he'd thought..

-Sharing is Caring - sequel to Stranger Danger!.. kindergarten lessons make good titles yes? When Thundercracker finds out about what *ahem* went on between the Autobot Security Director and his trinemate, he's none too happy. Red Alert then learns a very valuable lesson about trines: they share everything. (Starscream, however, will not be participating due to the fact that his involvement will probably make Red's logic circuits and/or his head explode)

-If You Give a Bug a Cube.. - If you give a bug Energon, he'll want to follow you home. If he follows you home, you're going to have to keep him a secret from the other Autobots. If the other Autobots find out.. (a semi-cute little thing proving why Bumblebee shouldn't take Energon treats out on patrol anywhere near lurking Shrapnels)

-Currently nameless thing taking place directly after the chatlog in Stranger Danger! but before the fic itself. Red Alert emerges from the closet to discover why it was dead silent in the Ark: after ransacking the place and deactivating several Autobots, Kremzeek left a little present behind while he caused havoc in Japan. Namely, one of his clones. One Security Director versus a little energy-creature. Alone. In the dark. Unprotected.

-Various drabbles and one-shots including the meeting of the faction "taxis", Astrotrain and Skyfire, and what happened to Shockwave over those 4 million years he was alone on Cybertron, among others as I think of them. Some related to Correspondence With The Enemy (technically the "universe" Stranger Danger! is set in), some not.

-More fics for the train (and bug) in general. :C

Other Things

Posting schedule is erratic at best. I really need to stop staying up to write because it comes out so trippy and weird. I should probably be putting all this writing effort into something constructive like a REEL BOOK. I should probably also stop starving myself in the name of staying on the computer to type this up. I really, really hope people might actually be interested in my non-Zim fanfiction because right now that's all I'm writing and I have nowhere else to go to post it.

That is all.
