“War seems to be ingrained in human nature, and even to be regarded as something noble to which man is inspired by his love of honor, without selfish motives.” (Immanuel Kant, Perpetual Peace, 1795)

Updates: The 10th anniversary edit of Bekämpfen Sie das Kreuz (Weiß kreuz) has been completed. Thank you, Sybil Rowan, for your amazing efforts in beta-reading it! It's always a pleasure working with you, and your technical skills and supportive encouragement are much appreciated!! Much gratitude to everyone who has enjoyed "Fight the Cross" and given valuable critiques over these many years! To those perhaps new to the fic, please enjoy!!

In-progress now is my sequel fic Tokyo Majin Gakuen Kenpucho: Tou Saigo no Butai (Tokyo Majin). I currently have two finished chapters going through the editing stages, but I am hopeful of having them uploaded soon. Many apologies for the long wait in between chapters! It's been a little difficult catching up with characters (especially writing them in a post-Apocalyptic Tokyo, after the devastating disasters in Japan on March 11th), and trying to introduce game/manga characters into the anime world.

Planned works: Aus der Dunkelheit heraus (Weiß kreuz). Tentative Bekämpfen "spin-off" sequel…

I've always loved to write. It's my passion. Even when I was little, I would write and illustrate my own stories, stapling the pages together into "books". As far back as I can remember, I wanted to be a professional author when I grew up. Unfortunately, life doesn't work out like we plan. I wrote three novels, several short stories, and adapted one tale into a screenplay all before I was 18 years old. I entered a few contests, submitted works to zines, and also paid for the services of a small-time literary agent. And all I came away with was a stack of template rejection letters. Nothing out of the ordinary for a would-be author I suppose, but still disheartening.

Although I still harbor the desire to be a published fiction novelist, these days I satisfy my desire to tell a good story by writing fan fiction for fun. Writing at all is a struggle as I am constantly curbed by frustrating writer's block, my own lack of inspiration or motivation, or just my mundane life in general. Sometimes I'm just lazy and fickle. I'm also my own worst critic, and no one could ever be as hard on me as I am on myself.

Since I take writing very seriously, I am somewhat of an elitist when it comes to fanfics. It's my belief that because we are authoring works based on someone else's ideas, plots, and characters, then we should be striving to do the original work justice. I like to adhere to complete canon whenever possible, but am not against AU, cross-overs, and OCs. I don't write yaoi, but am not beyond including shounen-ai into my stories.

In my youth, I lived strictly for medieval sword-and-sorcery, and sometimes science-fiction. Now the genres I like are suspense, psychological thrillers, horror, character studies, and crime dramas. I prefer dark, angst, dramatic, and supernatural. I also like happenings, things going on, and violent fighting, so I write a lot of action. I do not do romance or comedy; should I ever write about love, it's usually tragic, and my sense of humor is sarcastic. I do not believe in happy endings.

Characters are everything to me. Every story has already been told, and there is hardly any originality left in the world as far as plots go. It's the characters that move the tales forward, that make the outcomes different, because each individual makes different choices. This is true even in fiction. So I focus a lot on characters, how they react, their emotions and inner thoughts.

Currently, I write for the anime fandoms Tokyo Majin Gakuen Kenpucho and Weiß kreuz.

Thank you to everyone who read my archived stories over the years, even while I was on hiatus, especially those who left reviews and added them as Favorites! And thanks to everyone who is supporting me as I write now. I know my updates are few and far between, but I'm happy to share my works with fellow fans. I truly appreciate all the love!! ❤
