Name: My pen name is as close to my real name without using my real name, in fact they have been nicknames as well as mistaken identities of mine in the past. So, even though I may be a private person and I might not be ready to put my real self out there just yet; using this name is as close to the real thing as possible at the moment. And no, I am not the heir to the Bacardi rum empire.

A little bit about my work: I am a romantic, in both the emotional and literal sense of the word. Hence, my stories might be dramatic, adventurous, intellectual, sometimes angsty, mysterious, and even horrific at times; they will rarely ever be dark and depressing, it is just not in me to write that way. As they say, write what you know and I am not a bleak person so my work will reflect that. So while my stories might wind down a sad road, try and remember that I will most likely pull out some sort of happy ending or at least a comfortable resolution to the narratives conflict.

Not into "happy endings"? Find other stories. This is the brilliance of this community, there is a wealth of narratives here, enough to cater to everyone's interests.

Regarding Reviews and Comments: In general I will let most reviews made by those with user accounts stand. However, I will be monitoring guest reviews more closely. To be fair, if the review is just a generic good job or this story sucks, I will delete the post. While I welcome the praise, I don’t care for someone telling me they don’t like my story without giving me a reason. Hence, if I am going to do a blanket deletion of all the guest reviews that offer general negative comments, I will balance it out by also deleting non-specific positive comments from guest users. So if you are a guest, either take the time and create an account or at least write a halfway decent review with supportive arguments as to why you either like or hate my story.

If you have a user account and take the time to review my story, than you are confident in your arguments that you are willing to make yourself known to me. For this, I will generally let your comments stand and will rarely delete any review made by a FanFiction.net user. The only time I will delete a post by a user is if said user is being belligerent, profane, or ignorant. As I said, constructive criticism is always welcome but flamers will be eliminated. So, again, if you are going to say my story sucks, give me a reason why. This shows that you have at least read part of my story to know what you are commenting on.

I will slowly flesh out my profile in the coming weeks. If you want to know a little more about me, my work, my interests, my influences, or anything else within reason, feel free to PM me. I'll do my best to answer any questions and will take any reasonable suggestions into consideration.
