Hey all!

I read and write (and review) across different fandoms. Feel free to point me to your works if you like and I do respond to private messages.

Manga are my current love and I read this site and this one as well as several others. (Watch out for ads and viruses from mangafox.)

I also read web comics like crazy! Here are a few of my current faves:

Gunnerkrigg Court- kid safe, at least for teens. Fantasy world, crazy coming of age story... love it.

Girl Genius- likewise. Mad science, steam punk, skimpy bikinis, what's not to love?

Red String- older teens can handle it, but there are adult themes here. Coming of age story with romance, heartache and school life.

Seraph Inn has several stories on it. The currently updating one I read is this one. Spooky stuff and romance! There's a completed one called Inverloch that is also a good read.

I regularly read Finder and Strays as well (among many, many others.) Finder really had me hooked until recently. That's what happens when you leave out your most compelling character for too long. Sure, he was there by way of being sought after, but we've strayed wide of the mark, if you ask me. You may need to purchase the back stories, not sure how much is located online. Support the author- it is well worth it and the artwork in the books is terrific. Speaking of straying... Strays is new and promises so much! I want to know more about our major characters and their backstories. Having a mute main character in a graphic form is great! Everything he needs to say has to be done on the page, not through dialog. Their updating is patchy, however. We bought volumes 1 and 2 at Otakon in artist's alley.

But wait, you may say, does anyone read dead trees anymore? Heck yeah, says I! Currently I've got Mirrors in my car and just finished this one on body language. I'm reading Howl's Moving Castle to my kids (AGAIN!) and will read most anything by Christopher Moore.

I'm willing to beta but as you might gather from my comment about kids, I'm a grown up with a day job (and a side hobby proofing for Evil Flowers), so check with me about availability. Sometimes my job involves downtime and I'll gladly read, edit and comment on your story. Other times... let's just say I'm not so free.
