Resident Evil 6 looks epic. Leon vs. Chris...Wesker's son, Sherry a government agent, and Ada possibly an evil bitch? I can see the fandom exploding. And...Leon with stubble = sexy.

Constructive criticism

Public works are open to critique. Published novels, movies, TV shows, games. Some will like it, some will hate it, and some will suggest how the creator could improve. This isn't forbidden. It's expected - even for finished products.

If you're one of those authors who post for praise only, I would suggest to post in your own domain. FFnet is a public site. FFnet is a writing site and archive. No story, no matter how polished or complete is exempt from concrit. We're here because we love writing to some degree. Act like it. Discouraging constructive criticism is disrespecting the craft, disrespecting readers and fans, and most of all, disrespecting yourself as a writer.

Concrit stings. It's supposed to. It's why you need a thick skin.

Bio-thingy

My genres tend to be on the dark side: erotic/horror/fantasy/sci-fi stories. I have a bit of an obsession with vampires, vampiric creatures and have a few stories featuring such creations. Whether canon character or a created species, my vamps tend to be the non-traditional sort. No walking corpses, no sleeping in coffins, no staking through the heart, and in one case, not even blood drinking.

Right now I write for horror games, mainly Resident Evil - though Dragon Age will snatch me away from the RE fandom once in a while. I do have many WIP's, and while many haven't been updated in years (cringes), I do intend to finish them all.

And a big thanks to those readers who have been patient with my sporadic writing habits.

Active Stories

*Rare Side Effects May Include The Following*

First version, I had started way back in '05 before people began using the plaga as a sex toy here and on AFF. I had wanted to pair Leon with characters he hasn't been paired with before (or rarely), and I chose Saddler, Wesker. As for the backstory on the Plaga, I wanted to provide more depth and originality to what Capcom introduced. I also had improved my writing in five years. This is why the rewrite. And hopefully, I can take this off the list here in April. The end is coming...again.

*Empty Eden*

Tackling the infamous Claire/Wesker...realistically. And when I say realistically, it means dealing with their feelings in a realistic manner within the events of the plot. All fan fiction is an indulgence to some extent, and while some may see "breeding" as an excuse to have sex, I see it as taking characters out of their comfort zone. How would Wesker respond to being powerless? How would he overcome his enemy? That's the challenge of characterization. And as for the plot overall, I'm going to be pretty mum. So far no other post-Uroboros stories have anything close to what I have planned, and I intend to keep it that way.

*Chains of Air and Glass*

An Anders and Fenris dark romp. And I do mean dark. I play with Dragon Age lore quite a bit, the psychological issues of slavery, and what would happen if Fenris had to rely on mages to actually survive? Talk about irony. And fun plot devices. Chains is my test run for some original concepts I have planned for a novel - in particular, the "Creator" Fenris deals with (unhappily) is a prototype for the main antagonistic species. They're nasty, but a joy to write.

Pet peeve of the moment:

Authors or fans reviewing after a concrit saying the writing is "perfect". Not even finished published stories are "perfect" - less so, a chapter posted on this site.

So let's not vitiate a review offering advice by heaping mindless praise right after, please. You're not helping the author.

Disclaimer for all fanfic:

No matter what fandom I write in, all characters not my own belong to their respective owners.
I don't claim creation of established worlds or acquire monetary gain from my stories.

All situations depicted in my stories are fictitious,
and any similarities to persons living or dead is purely circumstantial...I hope.
