A bio, eh?

Well, I'm a guy, born in the year of 1984 (which gives me a somewhat unique gratitude that Orwell's vision hasn't yet come to fruition).

I'm a Jesus Freak, trying my feeble best to serve and honor the man who took all the crap that I've done, all the wrongs that I'm guilty of, and put it on his own account instead of mine, carrying the punishment that I well and truly deserved (and was going to get) instead of me. There's nothing I can ever do to repay that--but there's nothing I'd prefer doing than what he wants for me anyway.

I was homeschooled up through high school, then graduated from the University of Michigan, Dearborn. I'm a computer programmer by trade--a geek, and well proud of it. Personal interests--aside from the obvious writing/reading intrests implied by this very site--include anime, manga, and video games. Which is to say (again) geek, and proud.

Concerning my fanfic tastes, I tend to float from fandom to fandom--there's a whole lot of cool stuff out there, and it's great fun discovering it. As for my own fics, I tend to be a bit on the slow side as updates go, but I'm grimly determined to finish every fic I start.

FAQ:

I've recently started up a little FAQ for the Dark Lords of Nerima series, using this site's forum functionality. Basically, it just covers some of the more obscure interactions between that series and the two series from which it pulls, answers common questions that come up in reviews, etc.

Fanart:

Thanks to the incredible generosity of EternallyLostRyouga, we have these pieces of fanart from The Dark Lords of Nerima: a scene from Chapter One and a scene from Chapter Eleven--both of which he commissioned from the amazingly talented Nadiezda!

Also, the most excellent Pusakuronu has turned his pen to create an extremely sweet fanart of a scene from Chapter Seventeen.

Betas:

My constant and deep thanks go out to my beta readers, who hack through my rough drafts and bludgeon them into something readable.

Lathis, a truly excellent fanfiction author, and a master of crossovers prominently featuring our favorite Lost Boy. I highly recommend his writings as some of my favorite works around. He's even got a webcomic version going of his fic "The Teen Titans and the Lost Boy", which can be found here.

Also, my dad, who's been reading my stuff and giving me feedback ever since I was very, very little (and believe me, back then my stories were very, very painful). If it weren't for him suffering through all those missteps, and showing me how to improve, there's no way I'd be writing anything fit for human consumption today.

Fic Status (3/13/2013):

The Dark Lords Ascendant: Chapter Four is off to the betas.
