Author has written 29 stories for Naruto, Rurouni Kenshin, Chrno Crusade, Bleach, Full Metal Panic, Inuyasha, Fullmetal Alchemist, Nightmare Inspector: Yumekui Kenbun, Gurren Lagann, Katekyo Hitman Reborn!, and Peacemaker Kurogane.

Formerly: BakaBokken
Currently: Dread Pirate Rinja

The grass is always greener on the other side, unless Rinja has been there. In that case the grass is most likely soaked in blood and tears.

F/20s/fangirl, workaholic, uni student. I'm involved in a number of fandoms, but I primarily write in animanga fandoms. Gen fanatic with splashes of pairings!fic (both het and slash), genres of choice tend to be hurt/comfort and/or action with a side of drama. I've never claimed to be a great writer, but at least I have fun with it? 8)

Anything not on this account can be found at my livejournal (this includes some of the aforementioned pairings!fic that I'm too chicken to post here).

Current Main Fandoms:
Bleach, Fullmetal Alchemist, Katekyo Hitman Reborn!, Rurouni Kenshin.
(Mostly KHR and FMA these days, because those are current obsessions.)

In the Works:
Various one-shots and challenge fics, some of which have not - and probably never will - make it here. If you're interested, they're at my livejournal (linked above and below.)
Of the unfinished multichapter fics listed here, pretty much only Crossfire and A Strong Will are seeing progress. Bloodwynd hasn't been touched in over a year, but I don't plan to leave that one sitting forever. Anything I've got in the InuYasha fandom has pretty much been abandoned at this point.

An original novel, that shall not be named.

Fanart! ZOMG! These people have so totally made me squee.

This update really has no other purpose than for me to whine about writer's block. Don't mind me. 8) And also, I'd like to apologize to anyone who is hoping for any sort of updates outside of the KHR fandom; I'm pretty much bereft of new Bleach ideas, my FMA stuff is stalling, and the stories I have the most ideas for right now are either KHR-related, or they're original. Ah, well. I'm having more fun reading fic than writing it myself right now, especially since my fandom reading list keeps growing exponentially. Friggen' Star Trek movie. (WHICH IS AWESOME, by the way! Except that now I want all kinds of fic for it, haha.)

Anyway, kinda-sorta off-topic, but I noticed today when I peeked back at Resilience after getting some great critique on it that OH HEY, I'd written the cha-no-yu into it! Totally forgot about that, haha. Which makes me laugh quite a bit, since I wrote my senior thesis paper on the cultural-political changes the cha-no-yu underwent in the late 16th century under Toyotomi Hideyoshi and Sen no Rikyu. SO YES, I am pleasantly (and very dorkily) amused. :)

... Why yes, this has no point whatsoever. Uh. I think I should stick to keeping my personal thoughts at my livejournal, yes? Haha.

All of my fics can be found here at LiveJournal, save maybe one or two smaller, older fics that never were reposted there. The "adult concepts" warning is just a precautionary measure, mostly because I do tend to write fiction that's rated T or above.

Links

Fanfiction(dot)net:
Delle Reed (drabbles) : Rinja-pirate (anime/manga humor favorites) : Delitescent (TV/movie/book favorites) : Kaizoku no Rinja (one-shot favorites)
Well, considering that FFnet has finally decided to give us an unlimited number of favorites, these are somewhat obsolete accounts. BUT. I do still have work posted over at Delle Reed, in case anyone is interested in some of my older drabbles (HAHA, yeah right!). The links don't seem to want to work properly every time (thanks to QuickEdit's general retardedness), so remove the extra /u from the URL or replace the E7 with a tilde, and it should work. Sorry about that!

Collaborative/Original Projects:
Sevensmith - Main : LiveJournal : deviantART (art: Varethane, story: me)
Sevensmith is now being posted. Please do stop by and check it out!

Elsewhere:
deviantART (BakaBokken) : MediaMiner (BakaBokken) : LiveJournal (bakabokken) : InkSome (extremely) : FictionPress (Rinjii)
Nearly all of my online fiction - fan-based and original (and including stuff no longer or not yet posted on this page) - can be found at my livejournal account. I'm very active there, and I tend to update there first anymore (usually, not always). Feel free to friend me; chances are high that I'll friend you back pretty quickly, especially if you let me know you're from here. Or sth. ;3
