Current Status

Updated: 16 October 2009

ABOUT: I'm a junior undergraduate Biological Sciences major with aspirations of a PhD and very little free time. I don't update a lot, but writing is what I do for fun, and I don't like putting myself on someone else's schedule unless they are professors or nematodes. That said, I'm really busy during the school year, and writing tends to distract me from my real work. Honestly, though, that's a good thing. Unless it's a bad thing, and I have a full-length lab report to write. Usually, though, it's a good thing.

CURRENTLY WORKING ON: "Light of a Fading Star," a Harry Potter epic starring Sirius Black and a random ex-Death Eater. Updated once a month.

FAR ON THE BACKBURNER: "All the Small Things," a Star Wars time-travel adventure starring Alternate-Reality Luke Skywalker and Real-Reality Darth Vader.

ALSO: My account was formerly known by the name MATRIXSAILORSTARKNIGHTZ. I signed up when I was in eighth grade and recently decided I really needed to let go of the past.

Random Warnings

DO NOT READ Dragon Knights Sleeping Beauty OR Well, There Goes the Planet. They're ... well, of inferior quality, I would say. Bad as they sound. Yeah. Don't melt your brain. Seriously. Please. I keep them up only to remind myself of how far I've come.

Light of a Fading Star contains OCs. Tragic pasts were already available or could be inferred.
