Salutations! I am the one known as Checkerboards.
I try to keep to a schedule of updating my stories on Mondays and Thursdays. I welcome all reviews, though I ask that flames be restricted to candlelight level. I also now have a handful of Batman music videos on YouTube featuring the Joker and Harley Quinn, the Scarecrow, Poison Ivy, the Mad Hatter, and Talia al Ghul. If you'd like to track me down on LiveJournal, you can find me here.
Oh, and DC owns most of the characters used below, and I'm just borrowing them for a bit to give them a little adventure or two. Yeah, that's it. 'Borrowing'. Likewise, my avatar, which is based off of 'The Craven', was made by Rumielf. (And if you'd like to borrow any of my characters - like Jackie or Sorrow - then by all means, go for it!)
Speaking of DC, while you read these stories, bear in mind that I don't completely integrate my stories into comics canon. The Gotham my stories take place in is a Gotham that's never had an earthquake or a plague or a massive gang war or any of the other stuff that's gone down in the past few years. (It is, however, a Gotham where ridiculous things happen on a daily basis, because let's face it - every city on earth is a place where ridiculous things happen on a daily basis. Why should Gotham be immune?)
If you're here to read "Get Out of My House!", a tale of wacky fun about the Riddler, you might be happy to know that it's the first of many in a series! The order is as follows: "Get Out of My House!", "Housemates", "Home Sweet Home", "Homesick", "Playing House", and "Home is Where the Heart Is".
And if you're in the mood to read about an original villain's misadventures, I urge you to check out my stories about Sorrow. They are, in order, "Origins", "Breaking", "Shattered", "Reciprocity", and (soon) "Reinventing".
Aside from that, most of the other stories stand alone in my little universe - with the exception of my crossovers, which stand alone in a field on a planet far, far away from the rest of this craziness in lands where just about anything goes. Crazed AIs with a thirst for Science? Happy little headcrabs? A wall of femurs? You betcha!
"When life itself seems lunatic, who knows where madness lies? Perhaps to be too practical may be madness. To surrender dreams, this may be madness. To seek treasures where there is only trash...Too much sanity may be madness, and maddest of all is to see life as it is and not as it should be." - Miguel de Cervantes
