Author has written 24 stories for Sonic the Hedgehog, Misc. Anime/Manga, Phantom of the Opera, Harry Potter, Fruits Basket, Slayers, and Inuyasha. Hello! I am a PhD student hoping to become a college professor of art history. I currently attend Case Western Reserve University to obtain my PhD. My other preoccupations include the making of art (that's my undergrad: BFA), creative writing, politics, sociology, psychology, and childhood/developmental psychology. Fanfiction is just an occasional hobby for this chronic overachiever. ;) For that reason, the work on this account is in rough draft form, and I frankly doubt I will have time to revise any of my fan works. However, I still invite constructive criticism as well as praise. Mainly, I want to make the people who read my work think a little more deeply about the joys and difficulties of shared human experience. Subsequently, my work tends toward either "psychological" or "warm fuzzy." I've been called a Faulkner lover rather than a Steinbeck lover. So you should expect "flowery" compound complex sentences and mushy empathy, even (often especially) towards the villains, and their potential to be redeemed. Character always dominates plot. I don't believe in writing tragic endings. Only bittersweet or happy. Because we all need to cling to a little hope at the end of the day. My InuYasha and Slayers fanfictions are my most recent and best. Please consider them first. Regardless, please enjoy. God is great! Peace out. | |||||||||||
