Bio Update: 04/03/07
Updated my Bio with a brand new shiny story status section. Check there for updates. I'll try to keep it fairly current even though ff.net likes to pretend I can't log in sometimes and has been known to forget any changes I make. For the real up to date news (and snips of fanfic that might not make it to this account) you're better off trying my livejournal.

Main Bio:
I do a lot of writing that doesn't quite make it to this account, which isn't helped at all by my sporadic interest in fandoms. I write all manner of things, though I do lean towards slash most of the time. Crack pairings are my bread and butter, and for some reason I keep finding myself falling into small and unloved fandoms though I have a passing interest in the larger ones. I play video games, watch anime, and occasionally draw, though like my fic writing it's a casual pastime. Like most authors I live for reviews, and I will take constructive criticism without flying into a rage or attacking you with an army of sockpuppets. I'm virtually harmless, I promise. :3

My Fandoms of Choice:
Street Sharks/Dinovengers
Extreme Dinosaurs
Arc: Twilight of the Spirits
Clocktower 3
Cyborg 009
Yu Yu Hakusho
DragonBall Z
Jak and Daxter
Sonic the Hedgehog

All of these I've dabbled in at least once - some quite extensively though it may not be published online. I know a lot of people are still hoping for a sequal to my Arc story, Seeking, and while I definitely plan on finishing it at some point in the future I currently lack the inspiration.

Extra Tidbits

Your formatting is horrible! Why have you mauled these poor stories?
This site just doesn't like me...or anyone, really. It likes to chew up innocent stories and spit them out mangled. I do usually try to fix this before anyone has to witness the horror but apparently the rules change at random every so often and the stories end up looking a mess. The older ones probably have it worse since I don't check them so often. Rest assured, I have well mastered the art of paragraph breaks, so if a story looks like a giant paragraph o' doom just send me a note and I shall try to fix it.

Your spelling sucks too. Don't you re-read this stuff?
Uhh, sometimes? I find it almost impossible to find mistakes in my own writing because my brain reads in what should be there rather than what is. This is especially true of new writing. I don't have a regular beta, though a few kind souls have volenteered to edit a few of my works and I thank them from the bottom of my heart. For those fics that aren't so lucky, I do the best I can, and encourage my readers to point out the more jarring typos.

So what about reviews/constructive criticism/just plain criticism?
I love reviews. Srsly. Even the "plz rite moar" kind. I'm not picky...I have, however, recieved some really lovely in-depth reviews since I started on this site, and it's the reason I persevere here despite the issues this place has. Most of those awesome reviews have had a positive tone, but I'm not at all averse to a little bit of criticism. I won't bite heads off or throw tantrums or anything like that if you point out the flaws in my stories. They exist, I know my writing's not perfect, and I always jump at the chance to improve. After all, I'm pretty sure someone wouldn't go to the effort of writing a criticism if they thought I had no redeeming qualities. (Okay, some people might, but I try to think optimistically)

I want you to work on this story/fandom/idea I have.
I don't really take up other people's ideas. I have too many of my own to start with. For my current fics, if there's something you have special interest in, I can sometimes be bribed to resurrecting them by promises of fic-swaps or first born children. I prefer to work on stories that I know people are appreciating, so leaving me reviews or messages about the story or fandom in question can sometimes respark my interest.

Current Story Status (in vague order of priority)

Title: Kindred's Bond
Fandom: Clock Tower 3
Progress: 13/18 (approx) chapters complete
Notes: My other main WIP. Have planned up to the epilogue. Currently on hold because I am suffering from writers block YET AGAIN. I apologise for failing so hard. D8

Fandom: Sonic the Hedgehog
Progress: 7/21 (approx) chapters complete
Notes: One of my main WIPs. I've finished the overall plan (which I should really have done before I started posting; bad me) and now just need to actually do the writing. On Hold.

Title: The Shifting nature of Teamwork
Fandom: Sonic the Hedgehog
Progress: 2/5
Notes: I write them as they come to me (Read: Post midnight in the middle of the week when I should be sleeping after too many cups of coffee), but the next drabble set should be up shortly. And by shortly I mean some time this year. D:

Title: Street Sharks Redux
Fandom: Street Sharks
Progress: Drop in the bucket. I am so doomed.
Notes: This one is currently stalled pending a reconstruction of the whole thing. Oh it would kill me to take it down - even just a few chapters if I decide to break things up into smaller story arcs - but it may come to that. In the meantime I'm taking a break from the fandom so expect nothing for a while.

Title: This Point Forward
Fandom: Shadow Raiders
Progress: 1/?
Notes: Currently no immediate plans to write the next part but I will continue it eventually. The fandom's not precisely lively so I'm sure it doesn't mind the wait. Once I'm finished with my two current big WIPS I might consider writing the more involved sequel to these one-shots.

Everything Else: Stalled due to lack of interest, falling out of the fandom, or because the plot bunnies won't play nice.
