I'm a fanfic writer and reader who's been into said fanfiction for almost ten years now (creepy how long that's been...) I got into it with Dragonball Z, then moved on to various shoujo-ai fics about differing series, wandered through a multitude of themes, and finally found a solid interest in Naruto. Anyways, I have a range of interests, including several anime/manga series, sci-fi and fantasy novels, and other random topics. I study geology and biology and I'm interested in writing novels and making graphic novels. So I'm pretty much a nerd, though hairier than the average one and less elitist. Feel free to leave feedback, but since I'm rather busy with real life, don't expect me to answer back with any frequency.

Fic Summaries:
Naruto Fics:
Twenty Times Uzumaki Naruto Didn't Die - The last of the Twenty Trilogy (Same universe as Matters and Secrets), this fic follows Naruto as he learns over his lifetime what the term 'living human sacrifice' means. So far, this is the only fic I've ever written that's actually met my self-set standards. I'm very pleased with both how it turned out and the overwhelmingly positive reader response.
Underdog Hollow - A dark fic set roughly 8 years in the future of the current timeline. Naruto has become a merciless killer and the most skilled assassin in the Hidden Leaf. Unfortunately, the price he's paid for acquiring his skills is grave. He's also become a cripple in more ways than one. A forced vacation in the form of an mission guarding a certain young noblewoman gives him the chance to breathe new life into his existence. It's an old plot, but with new writing backing it. I have the whole thing already written out in my head, I just haven't found the time to work on it in between my other projects.
Deus Ex Machina - My take on the Time-Travel theme. In this fic, Naruto suddenly has the fate of the world and life in general thrown on his shoulders and, being Naruto, couldn't be happier about it. This is set up to be a mini-epic and will likely be complete at about 100,000 words or so.
Twenty Unknown Secrets of Maito Gai - Set in the same universe as Matters of Pride, this story deals with Gai's childhood, ascension to Jounin, and his aquiring his team, and all the secrets hidden in those events.
Twenty Matters of Pride to Hyuuga Neji - I woke up one day and this fic was already a quarter written. Six hours later and I had a satisfactory finished product. It's basically a character analysis of Neji done in the Twenty Truths format. I'm quite pleased both with the final result and with the positive response this fic garnered. While not my most interesting fic, this one of my more well written ones.
Reverb - A brief drabble about Tsunade as she heals Naruto after a nasty battle with Sasuke. Implied to be one-sided Tsunade/Naruto, but can be taken as reciprated. Reward for Preventer Squall, who was Runner-Up in my Spring Fanfic contest.
Makai, Prelude - An prologue written for Frankto's Demon Campaign Module for his Naruto d20 project. It's meant to be character neutral, as according to standard d20 Core rules. It's my first real shot at writing horror and I think it turned out pretty well. It needs a rewrite, though.
Foxhound - Ah, yes. The fic that actually put me on the map, as much as a fanfic author can be. Had I continued this fic to the end, it would be 2,000,000 plus words. No joke. I'm actually glad this fic never went anywhere, just because it feels mishmashed to me. Still, it was pretty good for a test epic, which was all it was ever meant to be. Though I've permanently discontinued it, I'm leaving it up as reference material and as a 'litmus' to compare against the quality of my newer fics.
Evangelion Fics:
I removed two of them because of major weepy suckage. It's about time I took them down. Honestly, the rough drafts of Terrace and Zealot are a decade old. They're definitely showing their age by now, so good-bye and so long. Couple of Angels will probably remain up for another year or so, just because it amused me so much to write it (admittedly, I was easily entertained as a teenager.)
Permanent Notice Regarding Foxhound:
With decent success in the superior quality of my newer fics, I've decided that Foxhound is officially Discontinued. This probably comes as surprise to no one, seeing as how it's been almost three years since I've updated it.
As a note, please don't ask me if you can 'continue' Foxhound or use parts of it in your own fics. The answer will be no every time and if I find out anyone has done such without my permission, I will hound the site admins into getting the offending fic and/or author removed from this site. I take pride in my work, as every author on this site should, and I don't want anyone else messing with. Please understand and respect my wishes in this matter.
On one final note, I want to thank all Foxhounds fans for following my story loyal for a period of years. You guys turned me from a no-name to a somebody, at least in this tiny corner of the net, and I thank you for that.
