"Only this time I will allow myself to give you the right to deny everything you have done. Although it was necessary to protect the lives of our people, what you have constructed is so... ominous..."

"No, it is fine by me if your highness would be kind enough to erase my name from future generations."

"...Very well. Then it shall be I alone who will carry the dishonor."

About the Author:

Firstly, thank you for clicking my profile and reading my pieces of fiction. It is the best form of complement an author can receive.

Now, about me. Hmm… what to say.

I’ve been writing fanfiction here and there for the longest time, and here is the only place that I have ever published my work. It will most likely be the first and last place I will ever do so, but I do struggle to put out the best possible quality fictions I am capable of. There are a lot of fictions out there that makes me what to… well, let’s not get into the details. Let’s just say, unpleasant things.

I admit, I am not the best of authors. I have been many times criticized for directly ripping off from the original work: just switch a few things around here and there but leave everything else the same. This is very much true in On A Day Like Today, Chronicles of the Killer Angels, and to a lesser degree, Tainted Demon Eyes. For the last one, however, I struggle to change as I reshape into a more presentable fic due to ideas inspired by the latest developments in the original. However, the first few chapters still remain a relative ripoff, a mistake I someday wish to fix. I wish I just had the time and motivation to do that right now.

Currently my main project is the “Garden of Sanctuary” series. Originally started off as a one-shot, I have now turned it into a series. I have finished working on Medusa Javelin, which is the companion fic to Garden of Sanctuary, and I currently am writing the sequel that is Empyreal Paradox. Garden of Sanctuary is the first tragic romance story I have ever written inspired by a off-hand comment in a Japanese fanfiction I once read over the internet and is probably my best, and original, work to date. The idea inspired me so much it has inspired me to create Medusa Javelin and Empyreal Paradox. I desperately hope I can replicate my success and turn it into something that is half-decent.

I'm also debating to myself if I should write a Bleach fanfic that's loosely based on Grind, the first Bleach fanfiction I ever wrote. Simply put, ever since I wrote Grind, the plot idea will just not leave my head. The experimental title I came up with is Genocide Sunshine. Right now I'm fooling around here and there to see if I can come up with something that's decent, and if I would be able to be active in two projects at the same time. We'll see, I guess.

The Seventh Level is a side-project I'm working on, a crossover between Naruto and a Japanese novel titled Level Seven. I only work on it when I'm bored, so it's not really a priority, but it's something that's quite fun to write for me.

I am also quite the review junkie, the type of person who often checks his e-mail to see if I got a review alert and giggle to myself in glee if I get a new one. So it always pains to see I a piece of fiction that is of bad quality and I am sure I can top, yet the fiction gets tons of reviews stills because the fiction features a giddily pairing all the fans love. I do understand why they do that since for them serious fictions, which I write, are a huge turn-off for those types of people… but still… I mean, just look at some of the fictions in my favorites list. All of them are quite good, yet some of them have very little reviews.

Also, for those who are wondering I'm the type of person who updates slow. I mean, really really slow. At best it takes me about three weeks to put out one chapter. At worst? Maybe a year. The reason? Well, real life is typically the excuse I rather resort to, but I'll be honest and say it's a combination of procrastination and laziness. I'm really hopeless when it comes to meeting deadlines... sigh.

I think that’s about it, I guess. Thanks for reading!
