Me: A 24 year old bumbling college student. I've been married for almost a year now and my wife and I live in Portland, Oregon in the United States. That's west coast for those of you who aren't familiar with the state.

Interests: I love anime, namely Naruto, Ranma 1/2, and Sailor Moon. As for manga I am quite fond of the workings of Ken Akamatsu. I also love to write, read, and play games; like CCGs and Computer Strategy Games. I'm also a United States Civil War Re-enactor.

About my Fanfiction: You will never find me writing yaoi, PERIOD. I can't write the stuff and I don't particularly like it. I feel its ruined far too many great animes; Naruto for one. Every once in a blue moon i'll find a good yaoi piece that I can tolerate but they're few and far between. Thats all i'll say about that. Many of you will also note that my updates are few and far between on occasion and that my chapters are fairly small. There are two reasons for this. 1. I'm a college student first and a writer second. As much as I love to write the real world comes first. 2. I've largely left my writing stage and have moved on to other things. I still enjoy it but I can't focus on it as I once did.

Bound to Eternity: This is my main project...or at least the one I keep coming back to. And look at that...i've finally updated after more then a year of silence! I doubt i'll ever actually give up on this story unless the community turns on me. Some of the final scenes are already fully developed in my head...and it doesn't help that they're tied to some of my favorite music. Kinda hard to ignore your muse when she pipes up every time I turn on my music. Update: BtE passed the thousand review mark on 6/5/09. Thank you all for making this little dream of mine a reality.

New Life, Same Destiny: My first fanfic. Due to a loss of interest, time, and lack of further story planning I've decided to simply drop this story. It will remain as is; A testiment to how I started and how far i've come. To all of you who origionally started with this fic, thanks for reading and i'm sorry to disappoint.

Lost Innocence Resounding: This is my moody/angsty fic that I started one very depressing day and decided to continue on a whim whenever I was in the correct mood. Somehow it morphed its way into a love story and i'm not sure where i'll take it next. I've got some more written but i'm not sure it's what I want. I feel it reached a nice point and I may just stop it where it is. Also with my limited time I've got to pick and choose what I do with my free time and i'd much rather continue a fic that i've mapped out.

A Tale of Two Blonds: Ah my award winner. No seriously this short little fic won me Best in Comedy at Kumori-con 06. Kind of a shocker considering what else i'd entered and the competition I was facing. I've grown to love Naru/Ino paired stories and I had to try my hand at one.

Dreaming of Duality: An idea I had that wouldn't leave me alone. Like most of my projects I wrote a little bit of it and left it at that. Might come back to it some day.

Astral Signs For The Cursed Soul: Another of the many stories that i've got bouncing around inside my head thats finally managed to find a way out. I've always enjoyed Fukufics, though the good ones are often few and far between, and I thought it was time I try my hand at one.

Bound To Eternity Banner: Threw this together after a good friend made a pass at making a banner for my story. You can find it here...http://i8.photobucket.com/albums/a18/Valakun/BoundBanner.jpg. If anyone knows the artist responsible for the wallpaper I used I'd like to know so I can let him/her know what i've done with their art.

UPDATE 6/2/09: Wow. Its been about a year and a half since I last stepped in here. I doubt anyone even checks this page anymore. For those of you who do...seriously there's something wrong with you...but I appreciate the interest none the less. I'm married now and still in school which means even less time and less interest in writing. But every now and then I type out a little something to appease my much neglected muse.

UPDATE 11/14/07: I'm not active anymore. Plain and simple I don't have the time or energy to continue writing at this time. I have more important things to do, like passing classes so I can continue to work towards my upcoming marriage. I'm in a load of trouble right now with classes as it is. Hell I can't even keep writing this! I want to explain myself but...I can't. Ugh! sigh... bows deeply I'm sorry. To all of you who enjoy my writing I'm deeply sorry. Thank you for your interest and support. chuckles humorlessly I can't even write a proper explanation...Damn. I hope I can return someday but for the immediate future i'm closing shop. Check in once a month if you want. I don't know when i'll be back, if ever, but you never know. Salutes
