Author has written 16 stories for Vampire Hunter D, and Naruto.

I'm a 31 year old graduate school student, trying to get through life as a writer. I majored in psychology, which gives you a really insightful perspective to life, but am currently enrolled in a masters program in English Literature. My professors, luckily, have been driving the whip and are actively helping me to hone my writing skills.

ZeeDraGon has a fanfiction recommendation/crit blog and took the time to write a review for Partners in Shadow. You can read it here.

20 Questions: Celtic Oak - an interview with Zelha. This is really old (2007 vintage!) but I'd completely forgotten to put it up here. It might be a bit outdated in regards to the Naruto manga but fun nonetheless.
